DAY ONE

8:15 a.m.

I cannot sleep a lot past eight each day any longer, although i do want to, so after a couple of minutes of lying in sleep, We give up and begin my personal morning while S goes on resting. We grab my personal time drinking coffee, watering my plants, and reading before We start mixing our everyday smoothies — plenty sound to wake him right up.

We have resided collectively for almost annually and a half today after matchmaking for per year before that. S and that I happened to be pals back home in Atlanta for several decades before we started sleeping together. In the course of time he moved to Athens to start out act as a bike auto technician, and neither of us wanted a long-distance relationship, so we made an effort to stay without both. I found myself therefore in love, unashamedly, but I attempted to destroy that experience, and dated some guy in another of my personal undergrad poetry courses while also asleep with a 38-year-old guy We bartended with. A lot of enjoyment. But each time S was a student in area I fell them both totally. He was the only guy I wanted. Later on, when he requested us to do the thing and move to Athens, I pretended I needed time for you to think of my personal answer. But we both realized I’d state yes.

10:30 a.m.

We drink smoothies together and plan all of our day. Some of all of our buddies live on a farm, and they’re hosting a bonfire and cookout today. We transferred to Athens during COVID, and it is been hard to meet folks beyond S’s band of pals, however these farm events are often saturated in the coolest queer ladies in Athens, and then we both discover how essential it’s personally to acquire my number of folks.

I became in a lasting union with a woman a few years ago and had many hookups then. But all my closest friends are lesbians, therefore while I’m in a relationship with a man now we nonetheless think connected with that part of myself personally.

S begins using my breasts while we talk. All of our sofa is indeed little it’s difficult never to get sidetracked sitting along with the other person. We grind on his leg so we make out; his leg muscles tend to be good from years of driving cycles. I end up getting my face inside cushions as he eats me from behind.

2 p.m.

I stay inside the house and study while S deals with his van. The guy got it lately for alongside absolutely nothing and has already been continuously fixing it and training themselves car auto mechanics in the process. S is close to always covered in oil and dust and perspiration and flecks of material. Its therefore hot, i possibly could not be making use of the frat-boy sort again.

7:45 p.m.

Personally I think nervous once we pull up on farm, both from a complete shortage of rehearse socializing in the last season and from the stress We apply my self to produce pals. S is sober for four years. Being with him, I’m basically straightedge, also, and quite often i really do miss how simple it’s feeling amusing and pleasant when I’m drunk. Nonetheless it seems crucial that you be S’s sober friend in a large group of people getting drunk and high.

8 p.m.

We talk with R, a pal of a pal plus the person hosting the celebration. She is getting her master’s in horticulture, and she actually is tan, powerful, funny, and often wearing overalls. Between changes manning the barbecue grill, she requires myself in for a simple house concert tour where we have a look at her number of VHS tapes upwards in her own lofted bedroom. Personally I think bashful; absolutely a great deal intimacy in witnessing their unmade sleep, and I look for myself imagining just what it’s always sleep together.

10:45 p.m.

We just work at a nonprofit in Athens. It really is my personal basic “real” job from undergrad, the most important task I worked that’s not waitressing or bartending. In some way we make drastically less money achieving this than I ever produced slinging drinks back in Atlanta.

10:20 p.m.

After-dinner, we set together throughout the chair with this limbs all tangled up and speak about porn, the essential difference between the feeling of being tough versus the sensation of being wet, our basic times masturbating, if we wish youngsters, and when we’ve any dreams — if there is everything we desire that people are not getting. S says he’s entirely pleased. I say I’ll need contemplate it.

10:25 p.m.

I stay within the showerhead and try to let hot-water slip down my back while S soaps upwards. He says, really, he is given it some thought, and he understands sometimes I can be in my mind about any of it, but he likes to watch myself make myself arrive in which he desires we could do that more. We say i love realizing that he likes it. I

enjoy
