kept
getting in my way. Although with you, I guess that wouldn’t be too much of a
problem, Ms. 34-B.  I could always consider giving it another shot.” 
He wriggled his eyebrows and smiled.
    David
shrieked when I grabbed the removable shower head and aimed it over the curtain
at him.  “Seriously David, what is so important, it couldn’t wait until
after I was done in the shower.  I could have been masturbating!  You
really need to look up the meaning of the word ‘privacy’ in the dictionary,
Mister.”
    “Oh
please, you? Masturbating? Hardly.  I believe Alex has you well taken care
of in that area.  I know that if I had man candy like that to play with, I
definitely wouldn’t be wasting my time wrestling the Cyclops, if you know what
I mean.”  He pulled the shower curtain back this time to drive his point
home with a pointed glare, then released the curtain to sit back down on the
counter.   “Anyways, my reason for gracing you with my
presence is that I’m curious as to where you are going this evening.”
    I
turned off the water.  “You know what they say about curiosity.” I shoved
my hand out from behind the curtain.  “Towel please.”  I waved my
hand around thinking that it would make him move faster.  
    “First,
tell me where you are going.” 
    Damn. 
No such luck. I sighed. “I’m going to Tomb tonight.  There’s a new band
playing and I could really use some music induced nirvana. 
    David’s
eyes brightened as he handed me my towel.  I pulled it behind the curtain,
proceeded to make myself decent and stepped out. 
    “Tomb,
you say.”  He put his finger to his mouth as if thinking.  “You know,
it’s been a while since I’ve accompanied you there.  Maybe tonight I could
be a good friend and act as your fabulous male escort.”  He winked.
    I
looked over at David who was a force all on his own.  David was just shy
of six feet tall and his lean, athletic build could make any man, or woman,
jealous.  He kept his dark brown hair long and it fell right to his
jawline.  But it was David’s magnetic personality that attracted a person
the most.  He never was affected by tension and would be the first to
lighten anybody’s mood.
    “Oh
no.  Not again.”  I put my hand up as if to stop his thought process.
“There’s no way I’m taking you back there.  You remember what happened
last time.”
    He
crossed his arms in protest.  Turning his nose up at me he muttered, “It
wasn’t that bad.”
    My eyebrows
shot up to my hairline as I performed my best parrot impression.  “Wasn’t
that bad?!   Wasn’t that bad?!  You’re kidding me, right?” 
I let out a humorless laugh and pointed at him.  “You decided it would be
a good idea to pirouette in the middle of the pit while calling out ‘gay man
moshing’.  You were elbowed in the eye, fell back and hit your head, and
then I had to drag you out of there and take you to the hospital.  Don’t
you remember the broken left orbital, or did the concussion cause you to lose
your memory?”
    David
blanched.  “Well, pfft, if you put it that way, it sounds all
bad.  I just remember that I had a wonderful evening spending quality time
with my best lady friend.”  David put his hands in front of him in a
prayer pose and gave me his best puppy dog look with his gorgeous honey brown
eyes.
    “No! 
I’m not taking you with me.  If you want to go in there separately, I
can’t stop you, but I’m not going with you again so that I can babysit
you.  And if you do go, do us all a favor and stay out of the pit!”
    David
poked out his bottom lip but then quickly smiled.  “Sigh.  I guess
you are right.  I’d say I would stay out of there, but I can’t be trusted
around sweaty men running themselves into each other.   It’s probably
for the best.  I still get headaches and I don’t think my face is
symmetrical anymore because of that last time.”
    I
laughed and pointed to the door.  “Out.”
