Page 117 of What If I Knew You

Corrigan

Umm…I don’t have a key…

Me

I’ll have one waiting for you at security when you get there. They already have your name and I’ve already told them you get free passage to my place any time you want even if I’m not there.

Corrigan

You know I would never just invade your space when you’re not there, right?

Me

I understand, but tonight I really want you to do this. For me. I’m not above begging.

Corrigan

Is there a reason?

Me

Yes. I haven’t seen you or touched you or smelled you in over two weeks and it’s killing me. We won’t be getting in until after tonight’s game so when I do get in, I want to be able to walk into my bedroom and find you curled up in my bed. I want to be able to wrap my arms around you and pull you into my chest and hold you against me while we sleep. I just…I want you in my space tonight.

Corrigan

Well, when you put it that way… You know I have to work Christmas Eve…

Me

That’s okay. I’ll drive you in if you’d like. I’ll even stop and get you that holiday latte you like so much. I promise I’ll try my best not to wake you. I just want to know my girl will be in my bed when I get home.

Corrigan

Your girl will happily sleep in your bed tonight. Can I tell you something?

Me

Of course.

Corrigan

I kind of like it when you call me your girl, Bodhi.

Me

I like that I get to call you my girl. I won’t ever take that for granted.

Corrigan

Good luck tonight. I’ll be watching.

Me

Thanks babe. I’ll see you soon.

“Move aside, gentlemen, the world’s best balls are coming through!”

Most of us groan and throw Griffin the bird as he struts through the locker room in nothing but a pair of pajama pants with Christmas balls all over them.
