Gemini

I walked over to the hotel room desk and grabbed the pad of paper and pen.

Returning to the bed, I began to write down some lines, laughing to myself at how stupid this was, but I wanted to make her laugh and show her I was up for anything.

Allison stared at the screen for those few minutes smiling and giggling watching me write.

I looked at the alarm clock…my three minutes were up…so I returned to the screen. “Okay…ready? This is for you, sweetheart.”

I quickly grabbed my sunglasses and put my baseball cap on sideways and began to sing, gesturing with my hands.

I met her in a diner.

Never seen a girl finer.

She gave me such a thrill.

I left a fifty-dollar-bill.

Left my credit card behind.

But you know I didn’t mind.

Took a Ride Unplanned.

Wrote her digits on my hand.

Found Out she works with my SIS-ter…

Before I even kissed her

She tasted so divine.

Now, I want to make her mine.

Allison’s face was in her hands and she was laughing so hard, that she had to wipe her eyes. I loved being able to make her laugh.

She lifted her blushing face. ”Cedric…Oh My God…I can’t believe you put together in three minutes! Thank you…that was awesome!” she said.

“You’re welcome, beautiful.”

After a pause, the mood got quieter.

I wish you were here, you know that?” I said.

“What would we do if I were?” Allison asked.

The images that flashed in my imagination were suitable for mature audiences only.

“Hmmm…let’s see. There’s this lovely mini bar over there. I might have offered you a frozen Snickers bar if you behaved.”

Allison laughed. “What else?” she said.

“Well, I could have interested you in a nice pay per view movie.” I joked.

“That sounds like fun. Where would be watching the movie?”

“I’d probably be in the bed and I’d make you sit over there on that nice hotel sofa across the room.”

“Oh really?” Allison’s raised her eyebrows in jest.
