Derek
Grocery shopping is one of my least favorite chores. Come to think of it, all chores fall into that category. Don't get me wrong, I still do them but I'd normally wait until I'm in a good mood or when they're piled up. That way, I can just have everything done and over with at once.
However, due to my strategy, it normally takes days for a given chore to be done which personally, I think irritates Cathy.
Therefore, if a day passes when it's my turn to do the chores, she normally has them done. That way our condo is always spotless, clothes are always cleaned and neatly folded away, cupboards are always stocked, toiletries are always available and movies and games are always at hand.
Cathy is like my own personal housekeeper. Always ensuring everything around the house is done, even when it's not her week to do so.
Smiling I ticked the ketchup off the shopping list as I placed the item in the cart. Surveying the list, I went to the toiletries aisle, filling the cart with the necessities.
This week, I've been taking my chores more seriously. Trying to get them done on time and even early. Ever since my little stunt the other night, I've ended up on Cathy's bad side, and let's just say, that side is the worst side to be on. Which is why I'm working to get back to the heavenly side with blue skies and vast fields of flowers everywhere.
Sighing aloud, I stared at the variety of sanitary napkins. I know she needs them because I went looking in her draw and saw only a half pack remaining. Of course, she won't tell me to purchase any but I always do. I really don't see the big deal about men not wanting to buy them. It's not like in the aisle there's a big sign stating 'MEN NOT ALLOWED TO PURCHASE' and even then I'll still hide and buy it.
I heard a few giggles and discovered that I'm still staring at the forbidden items.
"You have quite the audience," stated a husky voice coated with amusement. It's was coming from a meaty fellow pushing his trolley towards me.
Shrugging, I picked up three sets of overnight, regular, and ultra-thin sanitary napkins. With a full-on laugh now he picked up two bottles of detergent and situated them at the bottom of his cart.
"I gotta say, I like you." He stopped beside me so our trollies kissed, offering his hand. "The name's Adrian, Adrian Chaste."
"Derek McKenzie," I took his hand and gave a firm shake. "So, you new here?"
"Yeah, here on business." He took back his hand. His expression indecisive but he continued after a slight pause, "I'm a private investigator."
"Cool...maybe when you're not busy we could get together."
"I'd like that," he smiled genuinely.
"I've got practice all in today and tomorrow and next week but we can hang out on Thursday night, would that work for you?"
"Yeah, sure thing," he looked at me curiously, "practice?"
"Yeah, college sports...baseball."
"Cool, I know I thought you looked familiar. Your practically a star on and off the field," he gleamed admirably.
Turning towards the cashier I got a brilliant idea. "Thanks. Hey, if you want you could come to watch us at practice...as long as you don't piss off coach then it won't be a problem."
He glances at his watch.
"Practice normally begins at three in the afternoons."
Understanding he nodded. I emptied the trolley while awaiting his response. Just before the last beeping sound, indicating that it's time to pay the bill he answered, "I still have a few things to get done but if am through by that time, I'll let you know."
"Okay, cool...give me your contact." I took out my phone and added the information he offered, ringing his phone in return, to give him mine.
Packing my groceries in khaki-colored bags, I walked out in the sun. Heading out I saluted my new friend. "Don't take this the wrong way but God totally approves of your occupation when he gave your parents the idea to call you Chaste."
Chuckling he flipped me off before opening his driver's door. "None taken...glad to know you have a sense of humor."
Laughing I stocked my car and drove off.

Shaking off my sneakers, I gingerly stepped across the creamed tile. Scanning the surrounding for my friend as I go along. There, in the gaming room, she was sprawled on the zebra-striped couch. She yawned and stretched lazily like a cat. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAfhtBY4jgdQ

I love it when she looks like this, so at peace and relaxed in her own skin. It's just after seven and other girls her age are probably getting ready for a night full of fun, while she would rather be cooped up at home watching movies or retiring to bed early. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAwIqIaq0Szr

Come to think of it she hasn't been out in a while. She's practically gotten the nerd's award, attending only class and back.
Frowning at that conclusion I blurted out, "We should go out this Friday."
A perfectly arched brow was raised.
"I mean, after practice, we could grab something to eat."
Whiskey brown eyes gave me their full attention. "Why? If you're trying to make up for—"
"No! I'm just saying we haven't been out together in a while and would like to. I was thinking this Friday would be good," I interrupted.
Shrugging she stared back at the television. It's light illuminating her face.
Stepping away from my position I asked, "Would you go out on a date with me this Friday?" Before she could respond I hastily added, "And it's not because I fucked up the other night....it's because a friend wants to take out his amazing, beautiful friend to dinner...no interior motive."
A few seconds ticked passed before she responded, "Sure." Searching my features for something she finally asked, "Did you take a shower at the gym?"
"Not really...why? Do I smell?" I sniffed my armpits to check if I did but they smelt just fine to me.
Ignoring my question she inquired, "How can someone 'not really'," she air quoted, "take a shower?"
"Well if you must know, I didn't remember to pack a new bottle of shower gel so I just washed the sweat off with water."
Tilting her head to the side she pouted out her lips. The rebellious lavender strands that fell out of her messy bun, hang to the side.
Damn! She looked so cute.
"Well... there's plenty of shower gel in the bathroom, so you can go ahead and take a really shower," she said sarcastically.
A smile tugged on my lips. "Cool! But you know what would be really great?"
She shook her head. "Ahhh! I really don't wanna know."
Ignoring her I continued, "If I had another pair of hands to wash my back....soooooo....what do you say? You want the job?"
Laying on her back she resumed watching the television. "I didn't know this was an interview. All said and done, I really appreciate the offer but no thank you. I had a shower about an hour earlier."
Now I made a pouting face of my own. "Fine!" My pout transformed into a mischievous grin as an idea sprang forth. Her eyes bore into mine, catching on to my master plan. She made an attempt to roll off the couch but I jumped on her, caving her in.
Wiggling and rubbing myself on her she squealed. "Get off of me you pervert!" With her breathing becoming heavier she tried to push me off. "I can't breathe you're too heavy... Derek!"
Chuckling I eased some of my weight off her, bracing myself on my elbows, that nestled on the sides of her head.
At last, she stopped struggling. Accepting the invitation I kissed her temple then buried my face in her nest of hair. Sweet flowery blend with strawberry fragrance consumed my nostrils.
When our breathing went back to normal she whispered, "We should go get a shower before you fall asleep."
Feeling a little too at peace I didn't try to move a single muscle until about five minutes later. At that moment, my body was at war with my brain. Even so, I still made an effort.
She got up. Shut the TV off. Then laces our fingers together. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up for bed."
