Booty Call

I have two more posts concerning the Psychic drafted. I'll get them out before the upcoming holiday weekend.

Tuesday and Wednesday I was scheduled to travel to the land of Farms, Cemeteries, and Dollar Stores (rural Michigan), for work but it was postponed. I messaged Ava and asked if she wanted to join me at yoga at 7:00 pm. Ava usually takes her mother to her doctor's appointments on Tuesday. So, it is a convenient time to slip away.

Ava said she didn't have time for yoga. She needed to be at her boyfriend's by 9:00 pm. She indicated she might have time for dinner or cuddling. I told her we could do dinner. I didn't want a rushed session in the bedroom and Ava is usually late.

Closer to dinner, Ava texted me and indicated her mother wanted to get dinner with her and canceled. We made plans for a sleepover the following Tuesday. I went to yoga, made dinner, and settled in for the night. I took a couple allergy pills to help with the fluid in my ear (with the warmer weather, my ear has been bothering me). 

It was after 10:30 when I realized I left my phone in the Jeep. I went down to the garage, recovered my phone, and noticed Ava had just sent me a message.

Ava: Hey

The simple message was uncharacteristic for her.

Bathwater:?

Ava: Would you like to get together tonight? My plans changed, but I need to know now.

Bathwater: Sure

Ava: Okay, all I have to do is shower. I'll keep you posted.

I was a bit groggy and out of sorts from the allergy pills, but I jumped into the shower. Ava usually sends me a text with a time to pick her up. Fifteen minutes after her last text, while I was putting on clothes, Ava rang the front doorbell. 

This was also uncharacteristic. If she was driving here, I figured she would give me a warning so I could open the garage door for her. I greeted her awkwardly, before recovering and pulling her in for a hug. 

"This is that late-night booty call I always asked you for," I joked.

Ava showered at the condo and joined me in bed. She steered the conversation away from her relationship and talked about the nightmare her current side hustle turned into over the weekend.

Ava spent the night. We stayed up late into the evening, before curling up beside each other and falling asleep. I woke early, leaving Ava tucked beneath the covers in one of my tee shirts. Sienna and I tip-toed around the house. Wednesdays, I still work from home. I answered emails and started this post before waking Ava at 9:00 am. 

Ava wanted to run up to TJ Max in the morning. Her weakness. She loves shopping and TJ Max is her favorite place. She thinks everything there is a bargain. Ava had her hands full at checkout. Most were things she didn't come in to purchase.

"Maybe you could feed your urge to shop and then just return items," I suggested.

"I have never returned anything. Everything I buy I end up using."

I find that hard to believe. I think Ava has a pile of goods labeled someday packed away in her parent's basement, but I didn't press the issue.

We returned to the condo and kissed quickly in the garage. Ava went off to complete her shopping and I returned to my computer.
