Mysteries Around Him

“I don’t know about that…” I mutter as images from Friday night spring to mind. I made a fool of myself in front of River from drinking too much. I don’t want to make the same mistake only a few days later.


“I insist,” A large smile graces River’s lips.


The more I look into his eyes, the harder it’s becoming to resist the idea. I told myself I won’t drink a lot when out, so all I have to do is stick to that tonight and I should be fine. Besides, I want to learn more about River and the universe seems to be handing me that opportunity on a silver platter.


“Okay,” I breathe slowly and nod, “Let’s go.”


I watch from the bedroom door as River walks around the room, collecting his room key card and other personal belongings. “I think this will be fun,” River says as he closes the door behind him, and we make our way to the elevator.
