Scorpio Lady
The atmosphere had been electric in the locker room since Spike had come in. Lou, Sam and Wordy kept trying to change their clothes, but their full attention was on him.
“Okay…” Ed muttered when Spike zipped his pants for the tenth time with a frustrated look on his face. Someone had to ask what had him so nervous. “You all right, buddy?”
“I’m fine… confused… whatever,” was Spike’s response. The rest of the guys glanced at each other and turned to him.
Ed shook his head. “Doesn’t look like it. What’s going on?”
“A lady’s going on,” Wordy said before anyone could answer the question. The others smiled and nodded.
So, the usual. Ed remembered all the times Spike had been in trouble because of women. You passionate Italian.
However, Spike didn’t seem very amused. “What? Want to hear the whole story? Here it is!” He threw his hands to the air. “Apparently, a psychic told her that she should only date Scorpio men, her own sign only! And she believed her!” he explained, almost yelling. “She’s crazy!”
Lou and Wordy looked at each other, shrugging. There wasn’t much to say. But when Sam muttered, “Well, it doesn’t surprise me. It’s all about the sex,” all eyes were on him.
Oh, dear lord. Ed restrained a smile, since he could imagine the explanation that was about to come.
From the background, Lou asked, “What do you mean?” as he put on a fresh t-shirt.
“Haven’t you guys ever heard?” Sam said. He sat on a bench, about to give everyone a life lesson. “Scorpio people are passionate in bed. Possessive… you know, when…” His words hung in the air. He obviously didn’t want to get explicit.
“We get the picture, thanks,” Lou said, even if Ed caught a crooked smile spreading over his lips.
“So you’re saying that intimacy with a Scorpio is like… fireworks or something?” Spike concluded, thoughtful, his eyes fixed on the floor. He rubbed the back of his head, looking a bit uncomfortable. “Um… I gotta… I’ve got a phone call to make,” he excused himself and left.
The others instantly laughed. Lou and Wordy closed their lockers and followed Spike, patting Sam’s shoulder on their way out.
Once they were alone, Ed smirked and cocked his head to Sam. “You and your explanations… You know what you’ve done here, don’t you? He’s going to call her and then he’s going to drive us crazy talking about her 24/7.”
“Honestly, I wasn’t paying attention to that,” Sam responded, opening his legs on the chair and grinning. “I was more worried about sending out a message.” Slowly, he got up and went to stand in front of Ed, who held his breath. Suddenly Sam leaned and whispered, “You know I can be your Scorpio any time,” into his ear.
Just a light caress on Ed’s chest, and he was gone.
Ed couldn’t help grinning at the situation. He’d been waiting for that sexy comeback all week.
The End.
