My soon to be wife Annie had taken a job out of town and I only saw her every two weeks or so. I was so missing her. She and I had become long distance lovers. She was scheduled for a flight home on Friday night. I was going to pick up her son Zakk from his dorm and the two of us were going to pick her up at the airport and enjoy the weekend together. Zakk is in his first year of college he is studying to be a make up artist for stage and screen. He and I have not really gotten to know each other and this was to be the weekend where we did that. Annie and I were also going to tell him about our plans for a fall wedding.
It had been several months since I had seen him and he had let his hair grow long. He had thin golden blonde hair that now came to his shoulders. It was tied back in a pony tail. He was tall and thin with a feminine look to him, even the way he walked. But he kissed his girlfriend good bye, I let it go.
As we were pulling away from the dorm his phone rang.
It was Annie.
She was snowed in and was not going to get out of the city until tomorrow at the latest. She told us to have a good evening with out her and she would fly in tomorrow.
Zakk and I grabbed some take out sushi and headed for my loft in the downtown area. As we ate we made small talk and tried to find a way to break the ice. I asked him if he wanted a beer but asked for wine instead. So the two of us had a glass of wine as we finished cleaning up after eating.
I looked out the big window that faced out to the West and could see cloud and darkness rolling in. I feared the storm that trapped Annie was heading to us from the coast. I settled in to watch some television and Zakk said he was going to his room to check e-mail and do home work. I finished my wine and surfed for a bit not finding anything of interest on. So I grabbed the paper and looked through the entertainment section and saw there was a showing of an old Bond movie at a local cinema and thought a guys night out might be in order. I folder the paper and walked to the room Zakk was using for the weekend. It was actually my office but the couch pulled out. When Annie and I marry we plan on buying a house that has a room for him. But right now he has to camp out in my office.
