Jack was relieved and Randall was thrilled. At breakfast each morning, they'd just nod and smile at each other. Discussion was unnecessary.As the day ...pproached, the anxiety level around the house increased palpably. Even with the doctor's reassurance that the procedure was relatively uncomplicated, there was no way to avoid imagining the worst. Jack and Randall were so solicitous that Rita had to shoo them away from her over and over.Randall called his mom and told her about Aunt Rita's. He wanted to think about Stephanie. He did finally mange to find her house, a brown, non-descript townhouse with the porch light on. He circled the block trying to find a place to park, but there wasn’t much in the way of space. He called her phone. ‘Hey, I found the place, but there is no place to park.’ ‘Oh, just double park. I’ll meet you in the foyer.’ Against his better judgment, he parked next to a Honda Civic, and turned on his flashers. He jumped out of the car and walked up the steps. I, at this stage, was a boy that had never gotten laid. Hell, I hadn’t even had a girlfriend yet – endless crushes but no girlfriend. As a result, I jacked off constantly. If I jerked it less than four times a day, something was wrong. I always seemed to find time to blow that load SOMEWHERE. And that also meant that the moment I went to sleep every day – ping! Up came the morning wood. Or in my case, the mid-day-nap wood, or the passing-out-on-the-couch-while-watching-The-Simpsons wood…. It would be nice to see him while I was in the area.To my surprise, just minutes after I left a message Arnav returned the call. He had also left the company where we both worked, and seemed pleased to hear from me. We had always flirted on the phone, and whenever we saw each other, either at meetings or when he visited our office, he often found reasons to touch me innocently.Arnav and I spoke on the phone for quite a while before I had the nerve to tell him I was going to be in his vicinity.
