Okay, you know when you’re watching a movie and the main
character is about to do something really embarrassing, so
maybe you put your hand over your eyes—as if it’ll help—
but you still kinda peek through your fingers?
Yeah, go ahead and start doing that now, because here’s
something truly cringe-worthy.
It was a clear evening in late April, and I was outside in
just my robe, calling for my Muffin.
This is not a euphemism.
I had literally lost a cat, named Muffin, and there I was,
barefoot, standing at my overgrown back fence, hissing her
name. “Muffin! Muuuuuffin?” Can you imagine it? Not quite
loud enough to wake the neighborhood, but still eternally
optimistic that this would be the time my pussy would come.
Heh.
Okay, you know what I mean.
She’d gotten out of the house a few days ago, she was
only about seven months old, and I was beginning to lose
hope she’d ever return.
The little bowls of canned tuna I’d placed strategically
around the property had done nothing but attract the marsh
racoons.
“Crap,
” I muttered, pushing myself on my tiptoes to see
over the dilapidated fence that ran along the back of my
property. The previous owner—or maybe his greatgrandfather—had built the thing, and I, treasuring my
ignorance when it came to woodworking, hadn’t bothered it.
Besides, the thing was overgrown with honeysuckle, and
those few glorious weeks each spring when all the flowers
bloomed and the whole world smelled delicious made me
reluctant to traumatize the plant’s trellis.
“Muffin!” I raised my voice, calling into the overgrown
thicket which separated my house from the next lot. “I
promise, I’ll let you sleep on my face for a full month if you
come back.”
“Well, that’s a tempting offer.”
Remember what I said about cringe-worthy? Go ahead
and start cringing.
I swung around so fast, my fluffy bathrobe fell open, and I
made a desperate grab for the edges because I was stark
naked beneath it. I hauled it back together while
simultaneously attempting to keep from gaping at him.
I probably failed at both, judging from his smirk.
Karnak was my next-door neighbor, and this hadn’t been
a problem until recently. I mean, it still wasn’t a problem,
except on my part. The part where I couldn’t seem to hold a
thought in my head longer than a second when he was
around.
The part that took one look at him—standing there all
green and gorgeous and slick, wearing only a tiny towel
around his waist—and could only think words like lick and
taste and yes please.
