I know this guy, that for years and years has been seeing this woman on and off.

Every single time they hook up, they always do it at her place. He never stays the night, because he doesn't want the illusion of how she looks to be shattered by morning breath or raccoon eyes. He's also a light sleeper, and she's a heavy breather; never a popular mix.

So he was telling me that he finally took her back to his place, and it was pretty damn good. And they spent the night together for the very first time, because he couldn't exactly slip out of his own bed in the wee hours. She snored a few times, he poked her in the ribs, and she stopped.

He said it was really nice to wake up next to her, and that he didn't notice the morning mouth, and she didn't even really get raccoon eyes. She was soft, and warm, and her skin was inviting and delicious. As a matter of fact, that sleepy-eyed, touselled hair in the morning look was kinda sexy. And she wandered around naked until she got dressed to go home, which is always bonus.

He's missed this, on and off for the past 4 years, because he's an idealistic ass.

And she's let him, because she's always been content to take just whatever he's been willing to offer.

Yesterday and Tomorrow.
