Phillip's consciousness slowly came back to him, his mind gearing up for a new day "Fuck, I just woke up again..." He knew that none of that could have been real... It was all just a dream...
He wanted to curse the gods then and there, not allowing him to be at peace, and to just not exist. He wanted to just go to sleep, and not wake up. The world just sucked, and he didn't want to be a part of it anymore... He just woke up from his dream... A wonderful dream... "No..." He whispered to himself... He would get up, fill out those 24 Job applications, and just keep putting one foot in front of the other... Something just had to fucking give...
Then he felt something... A faint feminine sigh, with her warm breath on his neck... He felt her lips kiss it, and then snuggle in closer, wrapping her arms and legs tightly around his chest and legs, pressing her naked body into his, keeping him warm... Her wealth of raven black perfumed hair all around him... For once in his life Phillip felt safe, and at peace... He was so happy that he chose not to curse the gods at that very moment...
Sunlight gently peeked through the small gap between Elena's jet black curtains as they swayed in the breeze from her Air conditioner vents... Faint sounds of the city coming in through the glass of the window...
Phillip was completely Immobilized... And he loved it. He wrapped his arms around the tattoo artist, never wanting to let her go. He lingered there with her, content, and not wanting to get up...
Off in the distance, he heard his phone begin to chirp... Try as he might, he could not break free of Elena's grasp. Even though she was still fast asleep, she attached herself to him like a limpet.
Phillips phone stopped ringing... A few moments later another, similar I-Phone on Elena's nightstand began to ring a
tune of metal, rattling itself on the black ebony nightstand next to her bed...
The mechanic stretched out for all he was worth, and could barely touch it. He fished it towards him with his fingertips... and finally grasped it...
Anthony's smiling face appeared on the LCD display... Elena was still fast asleep... He smiled to himself, having been able to wear such an extraordinary woman out.
He tapped the "Answer" Button on the phone, and in a delightfully jovial voice, murmured "Hello, you have just reached Elena's answering service..."
