David’s Condo, Boston, MA
5:30 P.M.

Evangeline, Trenton, and David all sat around the dinner table in David’s kitchen. David had made spaghetti and had actually been successful at it. Evangeline twirled up some spaghetti onto her fork and said

“This is so good,”

“Thanks,” said David. “Are you telling the truth? Are you just trying to be nice?”

“Absolutely not,” said Evangeline. “This food is orgasmic.” David laughed and said

“Great choice of words,” Evangeline smirked at him and said

“You need to cook more often.”

“Should I be on Hell’s Kitchen?”

“Yes!” said Evangeline taking another bite. They could hear the rainstorm that had picked up outside. The wind made banged against the side of the house. They finished up eating and Evangeline offered to help wash the dishes while Trenton watched a cartoon on TV. She was in the middle of scrubbing a plate off when the power went out.

“Dammit,” said David. Evangeline went to get Trenton who was sitting on the couch looking confused with what was going on. Evangeline pushed back the window curtain and gasped when she saw the streets were extremely flooded out. “What?” said David coming over and looking out. The street must have been flooded with up to six or seven inches of water.

“Should I head home now?” asked Evangeline.

“No don’t,” said David. “It’s not safe to drive at all.”

“Should I stay here?”

“Ya, I really don’t think you should try to drive.”

“Alright,” said Evangeline feeling excited. “I’ll stay for the night, my day off is tomorrow too so I won’t have to rush off anywhere at 7:00.” She hoped Nathan hadn’t planned on coming over to her apartment. It was only 6:00 and without electricity they weren’t sure on what to do. Evangeline could see Trenton wad getting tired and said

“Where is Trenton gonna sleep?”

“He can sleep in,” David thought for a minute, “he can sleep in his own bed.”

“What if he gets up in the middle of the night and falls out?” said Evangeline.

“I’ll have him sleep with me,” said David smiling. Evangeline smiled and said
“Alright, but I don’t want him in bed alone right now so he can sleep on the couch.” David went upstairs and grabbed a few blankets. Evangeline laid down Trenton down onto the couch. He yawned widely and shut his eyes. She wrapped him in a few blankets and she and David crept out of the living room and back into the kitchen. They sat down at the table.

“What do you wanna do?”

“I don’t know,” said Evangeline. David got up and went over to a cabinet and pulled out a bottle of wine and two glasses. He placed them on the table and said

“We can just talk,”

“Alright,” said Evangeline smiling. “Tell me what your childhood was like.”

“Pretty normal for a kid living in Czech. I went to school, played hockey; I had no siblings so I made a lot of friends.”

“Did you stay out of trouble?”

“Ya, I hung out with good kids. What about you?”

“My mom died when I was a kid and I started going downhill from there. We lived in Louisiana at that time.”

“I’m sorry,” said David.

“I remember her clearly; she looked a lot like me except she had blonde hair. When I was a teenager I started hanging out with wrong crowd and my dad moved to Nashville to get me away from everything.”

“You get more and more interesting every day,” he said smiling at her. The two sat around the table for another hour and a half talking about their childhood before heading up to bed. Evangeline was tipsy and David helped her up the stairs. When they got to her room she sat down on the bed and said

“David it’s not bedtime,”

“Oh yes it is,” he said laughing.

“No,” she said and pulled him down onto the bed with her. She aggressively straddled onto his hips and pressed her lips to his in a rough long kiss. She pulled away to catch her breath and said

“Come on, David let’s have some fun.” He smiled and said

“You’re drunk,”

“So,” she said smirking. She moved her hands down to his belt and started to undo it. He didn’t try to stop her and instead worked at unbuttoning the front of her shirt. He leaned in and whispered

“You’re mine,”
