I couldn't sleep so I quietly went to the living room to just sit. My chair is super comfortable; it's a rocking recliner, my small joy in this apartment, besides all the books. We have the book store, but we started it from our own collection; which is quite large, upwards of 1,000 books total. I pick up one of the newest editions, The Host by Stephanie Meyer. It's an intricate story that has a happy ending, just what I need.

I was totally absorbed for the next three hours. As I come to the middle of the book, I glance at the clock. Crap. I need to go shower for work. I grudgingly get up and set down the book. I'll finish it tomorrow I think to myself.

Tonight is my night to stay at Lothar's place. I stay over once a night just to make sure we get to see each other with our insane schedules, sometimes it doesn't happen. It's a thing we started a long time ago and has just become habit.

I let the hot water wash over me. It feels good and relaxing after that ridiculous dream. I still don't understand what it meant or if it's going to happen again.

Six a.m. rolls around after I'm dressed and roused everyone else in the apartment. Lot comes by and picks me up. I tell him about the dream on the way over to the bookstore and he doesn't know what to tell me either.

"You have one strange mind, you know that?" He tells me as I get out of his car.

"Yea, I guess I do." I say with a smile, "See you tonight."

"See you, love." He responds.

I open the store because the girls aren't there yet, they were up late. I don't blame them; after all I did wake them up early this morning. They do eventually get here though.

"Hey Cael, how are you feeling?" asks Gwen as she comes through the door followed closely by Karla.

"I'm feeling better. I'm glad tonight's my night with Lot." These nights were always relaxing and… fun.

"I bet you are." Karla responds with a knowing grin. The girls believe that I'm always in a better mood on Thursdays after I've spend the night with Lot. Libido and adrenaline do that to a person.

"Is that your problem then, Karla? Not even action?" I ask laughingly; she hasn't had relations with anyone for over a year now. She finally got rid of that good for nothing scumbag she was bringing around.

"Hardy har har, yea right."

"Alright you two, quit it. We have work to do." Gwen reminds us ending the conversation.

Many, many hours later we begin cleaning up. I'm anxious to be gone. It's been another long and boring day. The door opens and in walks Lot. Finally, I get to leave.

"Bye girls, See you tomorrow bright and early!!"

"Bye, behave yourself"

Laughing I respond, "You know that'll never happen."

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
