Christine checked into a hotel in New York and called Jimmy.
“You can come over any time,” she said. “I don’t mind. I’d really enjoy your company, and I just want to thank you and pay you. I have the goods here with me.”
“Be right there,” Jimmy said.
She shrieked with delight when she opened the door and saw Jimmy twenty minutes later. She jumped on him and wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. She planted her lips firmly on his.
“Wha—?” Jimmy said with a look of confusion. He blinked a few times.
Christine smiled and pecked him on the cheek.
“Oh, Jimmy!” She said as she laughed with joy. “I’m so happy. It’s good to see you again.” She kissed him once more.
“What’s gotten into you?”
Jimmy stepped over the threshold and closed the door behind him with a gentle push of his foot while Christine clung to him. He walked into the middle of the room.
“Oh, I just miss you,” Christine said, “even if it was for more than a week. I love you as a friend, and I like you in ways you may have not been aware of.”
“Oh?”
“You see, it goes like this. I want you to do me. Now. Right this instant.”
Christine put her hands on his face and drew his face closer to hers and kissed him.
“It’s been a long while since I’ve been with anyone,” Christine said. She planted a quick kiss on the tip of his nose. “I want to give you more than just the goods.”
The breath went out of Jimmy.
