One Day Soon
“Even if all I wanted to do was stay in bed with Yoss curled up around me.
He was still sleeping when I quietly got out of bed the next morning. We had slept together. And it had been more intimate than sex could ever be. I woke up several times. Not because of Yoss’s nightmares, which there were none, but because, even in my sleep, I had to remind myself that this was real.
I got out of bed and grabbed my clothes as quickly as possible. I got ready in the hall bathroom so as to not wake him.
Wh...en I came back into the bedroom a while later, Yoss wasn’t in bed. I heard the sound of retching coming from my bathroom.
I gently knocked on the door and waited. I could hear water running in the sink. “Yeah?” his muffled response finally came.
“Is everything okay?” I asked. The door opened and Yoss came out. His skin was much more jaundiced than it had been yesterday and I could smell the acrid scent of vomit in the air.
“You were sick,” I stated, not asked.
Yoss closed the bathroom door behind him quickly.MoreLess
