Free Blogger: CAPTAIN STABBIN - CAPTAINSTABBIN looked across the room, saw that the closet door was open, and noticed a man's dark blue terrycloth robe hanging on a hook on the back of the door. He stood up, walked over, and slipped the robe on. He was sure it belonged to Mr. Harris, but Buddy didn't care. It was like the underwear problem, wearing the robe was no big deal given what he'd been doing with the man's wife.
Marla had awakened before Buddy. She laid next to her young lover, watching him sleep, for some time. She, too, had a hard time believing what had taken place over the past two days. She, like Buddy, had harbored fantasies about a relationship between them, but hadn't acted on those fantasies because she and the boy's mother were close friends. Then, on Friday afternoon, she lost control and the fantasies became reality. Now she wondered why she'd waited as long as she had. What was even worse was that Buddy would be leaving to go to college in just a few weeks.
