You’re a different cut.
Cut
Like meat.
Alright. absently she wiggled her nose like
Samantha from the sitcom Bewitched I can’t figure if
you’re offputting. deliberately . . or if you’re just stand-offish.
Yare curious he smiled bemused somewhat wickedly
Stand-offish
Stand-offish?
A curious pronouncement Youll recall we first met on the Minnesota River fishing
Brian always comes on strong.
he casually rubbed his left
eyebrowwhat was left of it Brian split
it Brian only had a right but he had a bonehead and absorbed the
punishment until he knocked Brian out broke his jaw a few ribs battered his
kidneys
he didnt appreciate people who
came on strong
people will treat you the way you
let them
fuck with a bull you get the horns
somehow it didnt fuck with their
friendship
they understood
no unknowns just known knowns
It is his strong suit.
I remember the river.
she steppedshe slipped she was in the river it was quick she wasnt much of a swimmer not with that ass
Brian was upriver
he stabbed the heel of his rod firmly
into the moist ground and ran downstream ahead of her
he leapt into the riverstomping
his legs as he broke the water and purchased the unmolested mudbottom to
midcalf
she landed an elevenpound catfish
he watched
little tits
perky nipples
No, man, I’m running late too. Tell
you what, I’ll have Susan lay out a pair of shorts and a t-shirt for you, take
a bath at the house; we’ll have dinner tonight. If I run later, an looks like a
real possibility, you can make the barbecue, there’s beers.
I dont want to be cumbersome or
trouble.
I’ll let Susan know. Give her a
call before you head over, you’re tenfifteen minutes off; I’ll have her draw
you a bath.
Thats definitely not necessary
Maybe not, but more than likely
you’ll be barbecuing tonight. It’d be a nice seque into the evening for you;
bathed, clean, refreshed, a beer, relaxed.
Awrightawright
Right! Don’t fucking argue with me.
You know I don’t like that.
Susan Joe
Headin your way babe
Brian said. I’ll draw your bath.
Susan that’s not necessary I can shower
We don’t have a shower; I suppose
you wouldn’t have known. I’ll begin it
in ten minutes, sound right to you, you can hop right in.
Okay Okay Brians rubbing off on ya
That’s the nicest thing you could
have said, come on strong. Thank you.
Youre welcome knucklehead
A bubble bath
Yes. Scented lavender; you said you
liked lavender. Real men take bubble baths.

throat

master bedroomtheir bedroom
he stripped and slippedgratefully
into the soapyfoamy water
he took a breath and slide
underwater and stayed until he ran out of breath
surfacing Aaah Damn

Susan held a bottle of beer out to
him
