Wants/Needs

After a sigh, I say "Well, I have work tomorrow. I'd have to get up early."

"Where do you work?"

"Love+."

"Oh. Of course."

"You've been there?"

"Not yet."

"Well, I'm always happy to help an eager customer."

"How long are you working?"

"Until 12."

"Would you want to come around?"

"Yeah, I'd like to do this again."

"Hopefully I last a bit longer, hey?"

"Oh, I'm not complaining baby. I didn't last that long either."

He laughs for a second. "Touche amore."

"Heh. Maybe next time we can work on your French."

"Well, that's what I get for stepping out of my expertise."

"Anyway, you wouldn't mind if I took a shower?"

"Be my guest."

I begin to remove my boots. Once they're off, I remove my bottoms and stand up. Xavier leads me to his bathroom, where I turn the water on. As I rub my body with soap, Xavier delivers my clothes, for which I thank him. Once I'm clean, I dry off and get dressed. I find Xavier waiting for me in the living room, wearing a bathrob.

"So, see you tomorrow?"

"Count on it."

An Uber takes me back home, where I soon fall into bed, dreaming of my next encounter with Xavier.
