Four Christmases

I remain standing in my spot, notstaring at his tight ass or his powerful thighs—really, I’m not—as he disappears between the trees. Then I take out my phone, read the text from my sister—Where the heck are you????—reply with a quick OMW, and start walking back. Before I put my phone in my pocket, I make sure my alarm is set for seven and that the phone isn’t on MUTE. I do notwant to miss his call in the morning. 


But I don’t have to wait that long to hear from him again. As I step into my parents’ house and peel off my coat, a text arrives from him.


I’m glad I ran into you. You brightened my day. See you tomorrow. Poe.
