TO COLORADO by Jordan Warner

If you missed yesterday’s post, here’s the plan. Carter and I are flying to Colorado to retrieve Cindi’s car and drive it back to Memphis. Her dad is going to pick us up tonight, get us to a hotel, then take us to her car tomorrow. One night on the road, and we’ll be home late Friday.

Now, let me just be honest. I might be glad Carter is going with me. I wanted to sort of clear the air so as we went through Memphis International, I just asked.

“Remember at the New Year party you asked if I had engineered you being there as my date?”

Carter smiled. “I remember. You said you didn’t.”

“So, here we go off on a two-day road trip. Let me just ask… did you engineer it so we’d be together?”

Carter smiled. “First off, I was the best choice of the group. Hayes could have gone, and that would have probably been fine. Obviously not Cindi and by extension not Michael.”

“You didn’t answer my question.”

We walked along a ways, and when he replied, he still didn’t answer the question. “I’m looking forward to spending time with you. I like being with you. Are you okay with that?”

I suppose I wasn’t as prepared for total transparency as I thought. My face went hot and red, but I couldn’t help smiling.

I dared to be honest back. “I like hanging out with you, too.”

I felt like he put his arm around me and pulled me to his side—he didn’t but the air was thick with that vibe. I don’t know how to say it. It was like my honesty erased the six or ten inches between us and we were somehow magically closer.

“Jordan,” Carter said, after a dozen steps, “if this trip hastens our inevitable relationship, I’m not going to complain.”

I smiled, but didn’t say anything until we were boarded and in our seats. I know he means that us sharing space regularly and having compatible interests and similar values and morals greatly increases the chance we’ll grow closer. But I like the inside joke of it being inevitable

Once the seatbelt sign went off I rocked my shoulder gently into his. “Hey…”

He looked over.

“If the inevitable happens, I won’t complain either.”

SO FAR SO GOOD by Jordan Warner

A little while ago I think I erred a bit. My impulsive nature is to blame.

Cindi’s dad dropped us off at the hotel with the plan to pick us up in the morning. Carter and I checked in and headed to our rooms. His is across the hall and one door down from mine. For luggage, we have just a backpack each. Keep it simple—one night here, one night on the road.

We were at my door, and I was thinking… This has been a fun day, and it’s not really late. We ought to just hang out for a while. Somewhere between the idea and the words, things got sideways bad!

“Hey, you wanna come in and sit around for a while? It’s not very late…”

Carter looked at my door, then at his, then down at his access card. I was about to recant my offer when he replied.

“Not sure we should do the alone-in-a-hotel-room thing. No one out here knows us, but… I guess it’s the principle of the thing…”“Oh, yeah,” I said. “Totally… Knowing my luck, my mom will flat out ask… ‘Now, Jordan, honey, tell me you weren’t alone with him in the hotel room!’ Seriously, that’s something she’d ask! The principle matters, for sure.”

Carter seemed a little lost in my story about mom, but he nodded and looked down the hall. “Drop your stuff and we can go sit in the lobby. How about that?”

So that’s where we are now. This is what I meant—I just said it wrong the first time!

Be your best you!

"Thank You" Message to Paying Supporters:

Let me begin by saying how grateful I am for your engagement with the content. Your likes, comments, questions, and encouraging remarks keep me going, even on days when I'm pulled in multiple directions all at once.

I believe most of you who help with the costs are doing so because you want to support the production process and show your encouragement. That means so much to me! I am honored and greatly moved.

Thank you very much for your help underwriting the cost of producing AGI Stories content. You can be sure that your paid membership is valued greatly! At the time of this post, not counting hardware, AGI Stories racks up expenses of just over $100 per month.

At this time, most of that cost is being covered by Patreon members like YOU.

While most of the content on AGI Stories is free and much of it is public, the hope is that reserving a few pictures and small sections of the post for you is a modest indication of gratitude!

I believe I have found ways to give you more exclusive content, while still making the site meaningful to visitors and passersby.

Again, thank you very, very much.
