It's all about the bed

I was walking out of work the other night. My cell rings...

"Hey..where you at?..." he asks.

"Just leaving work...where you at?..." I reply.

"Just leaving work..." he says.

"What are your plans for tonight?..." I want to know.

"Going home..then I gotta go make a run..." he says, Not being secretive at all.
I know where he is going.

"...and then to my house?..." I chuckle.
He does too.

"ummmmm. maybe. It depends on what time I get back on this end..
it might be late...and I'm tired!"

"That's okay..you can go to sleep when you get to my house..." I laugh out loud at my self, knowing that's just bullshit.

He also laughs.
Then he says the part that hurts my feelings. Kind of.

"I don't get any sleep at your house, baby...."

Me: "Huh?" "Why not?"

I half laugh. because I don't get any sleep when he is at my house. I sleep all up on and under him. He moves a lot. A LOT! Constantly. Everytime he moves, I wake up, too. I usually rub his body and he falls back asleep, and so do I. But in the morning, I feel like I didn't sleep at all.
So, I know what he is talking about.

"First off..you be waking a brutha up at 4 in the morning...that's the first thing.."
We both laugh.

"And your bed. That waterbed. It's uncomfortable. I toss and turn all night..I hate it!"
"...but that's another story, for another time, I guess..."


This is not the first time that I have heard this. Someone talking shit about my bed. Some people have a hard time with it. I love my bed. It's warm, and comfy. Not the best for sex..but it's something that you get used to. I have had various waterbeds, and for the last 20 or so years, that's all I've ever owned. I have the aquired taste needed. Not everyone does.

But damn..is it that serious? I have never been in that position, not being comfortable in someone else's bed. Is that something that would make someone not want to come sleep with me a few nights a week?

The Waterbed.
Is my bed the reason that I don't have a man? LOL! Maybe. But "the other one" never complains. He is in my bed a lot! and never once has he talked shit about it.
I know that you gotta have a flava for a waterbed. They are not for everyone. And maybe I am ready to move on from that. I have been looking for a new bed. I think I have found what I want. It's right here!
I hope he's ready for it! No excuses after that.

My feelings are still hurt. Damn.
