Title: "Where'd I Drop My Pants?"
Word count: 231Gojyo squinted his eyes against the early morning sun. As he tried to get out of bed, he learned his arm was in some woman’s hold. He carefully extricated himself so as not to wake her.
Memories of the previous night slowly filtered into his mind. Gojyo had made a killing at the gambling house, and this sweet, shy cocktail waitress, lying in the bed, was his good luck charm. He took his time wooing her over the past few weeks and never expected her to accept his advances. She felt like the type that would wait for her wedding night.
Gojyo looked at her. He wanted to remember how the early morning light played on her face and her dark, unbound hair.
Lost in the memory of how her soft, pink lips tasted when he first kissed her, the young girl rolled over and said something in her sleep. Those words shocked him: "I love you, Gojyo."
He stood beside the bed, stunned. Gojyo couldn't believe what he heard. She wasn't the first to say those three little words to him. He knew they really didn't mean anything … until now. Plus she knew his name.
Gojyo never bothered to learn hers.
Fueled by his discomfort, he turned away from the beautiful young girl he had deflowered and scanned the room.
"Damn," Gojyo muttered, "Where’d I drop my pants?"
