Him:
"I have about an hour before I leave so I will log on and send her a quick message." He thought as he stood in the bathroom, drying off after taking a shower.
He shaved, drew the towel back and forth on his back once again then cinched the towel around his waist. His dog met him at the door when he exited the bathroom. Tail wagging and happiness showing in his eyes.
"Hey Bud." He said as he gave his dog a scratch between the ears and a pat on its hind quarters.
The dog circled around his legs, then walked over to a sunlit area and laid down. Content and happy that he had trained his human well.
After lifting up the screen to his laptop, he hung his wet towel on a peg then put on a pair of mesh shorts while the screen was booting up.
Log on complete, no messages from her. (sad face)
He clicked on her screen icon and then hit new message.
"I hope you have had a great day today.
I have just finished with a shower and will be getting dressed to go to my gig. It is a Halloween gig and we have to dress up. I will be going as static cling. I am going to take a bunch of mismatched socks and pin them on me. :P
I hope you have fun at your event. Stay safe please. Let me know when you make it back home safely?"
He hit send then closed his computer.
As he turned towards his closet he stopped. Turned back towards his computer and began to open the screen again.
"It is too late, I already sent the message." He said aloud. "She will probably think I am a total geek now because I sent the little tongue sticking out thingy."
After flopping his hand on his head out of annoyance of himself, he closed the screen and began getting dressed.
Her:
The day had been chaotic, hectic, maddening, over the top busy and almost out of control. But, yet here she was standing in her bed room with a towel wrapped around her body post shower.
She had about an hour before she had to leave and go help set up for the fundraiser party. She had volunteered to help with decorations and setting up the silent auction tables.
It will be good to be surrounded by a lot of people tonight. No cares, no worries. People eating, singing, dancing and hopefully spending a lot of money on the items up for bid with the silent auction.
She walked over to her laptop, opened it up and waited for it to power on.
After logging on she felt a slight smile work its way to the edge of her lips.
He sent a message and she was glad that he understood how busy she can be.
Static cling huh. Oh boy, he does have a bit of an imagination.
Cute, a sticky out tongue. In control but has no issue of acting silly. The smile found its way to the other edge of her lips.
His message was sent about 50 minutes before so he had most likely left and is on the road.
Knowing that he will check for a message when he gets a chance, she decided to message him back.
"I am standing with a towel wrapped around me after my shower and have about an hour until I leave for my event too.
It has been a very busy day and I was unsure if I had time to get everything completed.
I did, and have a few minutes to spare after my shower.
Our event is also a Halloween themed party. I plan on going as the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz except for the green makeup. I will be wearing a green wig instead.
I will let you know when I make it back home. If I remember. :P"
She sent the message and giggled that she too sent a sticky outie tongue happy face.
Him:
The venue was a good place to play. He had played quite a few shows with many different types of bands on that stage. Rock bands, jazz groups, swing dance bands and even a mariachi band.
Tonight was with a rock band. It was a fantastic group that he has played quite a few shows with and had gone on mini tours as well as cutting a few recordings. Fun, professional and entertaining is how he would describe this band.
He finished with the sound check, picked up his cases to stow them back stage. He then leaned against the wall and pulled out his phone.
A huge smile painted his face as he read the message she sent.
He quickly typed out a reply.
