sumana's day

  • The sun was early on that balmy southern California morning. I woke to the quite stillness. The sheet barely covered me as I found myself on my stomach. I glided my hand across the sheet and noticed it's frailness. On my mind was a man I once knew. He would look at me all the time. I would be repulsed by his stare. I knew what he wanted. But this morning he was the first thing on my mind. I wanted him. I turned and saw my girlfriend as she laid next to me a beautiful lock of hair in the pillow far off in sleep.
    I slid off of the bed and gently walked to the bathroom. I felt so naked, like how he would make me feel with his stare. I could hear the seductive sound of my feet across the polished cement floor of the big open studio and made my way in. I looked into the mirror and saw my smoldering image in the cool dark room. That’s when I knew that she woke me.
    She woke me, and this time to leave she would refuse.
