What Are We?

After coming back from a blind date, I called him -- an old friend and my sex partner -- to a bar. While talking about the date, we recalled our first experience together in our freshman year of college. Drunk, we went to a motel, and as we intertwined our bodies, we tried to confirm each other’s true feelings. Remembering those days left my heart tangled, and then he sent me our secret signal: “What time are you going home tonight?”
