Stuffed Animals
Karl And The Zen Of Boyfriends

V is wearing a huge smile that seems to sparkle against his deeply tanned body.  My heart beats excitement and confusion…my standard response when my head is in too deep.  I can’t help but smile back at his boyish enthusiasm.

“How’s it going V?” I ask as I realize that I really am happy to see him.

“Great, now that you’re here!” he says, somehow knowing exactly what I wanted to hear.  “Let’s grab your stuff and head over the the StuffedZoo Warehouse.”

“V, I’m beat.  That Texas sun really takes it out of you and the stuffocation had its own twists and turns.  I need to get home; have a good shower and follow that with 8 hours of unconsciousness.  Please tell Finn I’ll be in tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’ll let Finn know.  I thought that’s what you were going to say but I was hoping you wouldn’t.  Let’s get you home.” V says as he grabs my bags and starts walking toward the company car.

We take a leisurely drive to my apartment chatting about the trip, the stuffocation, and everything that V has learned from Finn over the past week.  It’s a fun time and V does a great job of making me feel at ease.  By the time we get to my apartment I almost wish we were heading the other direction but I am really tired.

V gets out and carries my stuff to my door.  I stretch up on my toes and give him a kiss on the cheek saying “It’s great to be back.  Thanks for everything.  I’m taking you to a great dinner tomorrow!” and escape through the door with a smile I wasn’t consciously wearing.
