I gave you that.
Me:
You did?
Erika:
Yeah, when I was twenty-three. Do you still have it?
Me:
I don’t know. I can’t find it anywhere. I’ve looked.
It’s lost, like my memories.
Erika:
I need to go, but before I do, two things… I’m so excited you remembered buying my stethoscope and the coin... and also the housekeeper is coming this afternoon, so don’t be naked when she arrives!
Me:
I’ll try to remember that. I might forget.
Erika:
Leon!
Me:
I’m kidding.
We haven’t kissed since the hospital, but there’s been more flirting, more hugs, and more banter. I take my shot and try some flirty texting before I sign off, just because I know she enjoys it.I’ve noticed the way she bites her bottom lip as if she's having sexy thoughts about me while watching me work out. She doesn’t realize I’m watching, but I am. Closely.
Me:
Would you like to see me naked?
Erika:
I’ve already seen you naked. *winking emoji*
Me:
Then you’ll know I’m pierced.
Erika:
I do.
Me:
Do you like them? Did it feel good for you?
Erika:
Yes.
Me:
