How was your day? Nuala asks, lying next to her husband, Brian, in their bed, hoping sleep will come quick before he gets to wanting to have his end away. Tiring and busy, he says, looking at her, his eyes searching her, where'd you go? She looks past him at the curtains flapping where the top of the window is open. Shopping in town. Buy anything? Not much; few bits, she says, thinking of her and Una making love in her bed in the new bedsit, and twice going the rounds. Nothing for me, then? He says smiling. No not this time, she says, knowing that smile, that I want to have you soon kind of smile. Haven't seen your friend Una around? He says. No not since she left us, Nuala says, hoping Una never left love bites on her body anywhere; she'd not looked since she'd been home and got the dinner. Shame I liked her, he says. I'll get jealous, she says. No need, he says, you're my number one. She recalls Una kissed her almost everywhere, and her love making her so moist and hot. So how about it? He says. About what? She says. Us and *** What about us and *** Are you up for it? He says smiling. Sleepy, she says. A quickie? He says, his smile still in place. She resigns to fate, and so he goes about his task; never get, his mother'd said, if you don't ask.
