Towel

We're all sitting in their basement drinking. Talking about sex and how messy it can get. I mention that I don't understand how in movies and television, everyone's always using towels to clean themselves off. Someone asks me what I use, and I say, I use disposables. Like tissues.

Later, he gets up onto his knees in bed. The wetness spreads and rolls off of me and onto the sheets. He reaches over to the foot of the bed, smiles at me, and throws me a towel.

In the morning, I get up, put on my trousers and t-shirt and head into the kitchen. He's standing there, topless, eating breakfast with his flatmates. Every time I say something to him, I'm talking to his chest and abs.
