    Maddi was still amazed. In the last two years her desire for sex had exploded. Thinking back, she tried to imagine having gone through life the way things had been. Having sex weekly, and weakly. It had all started with her desire to redecorate the master bedroom. Getting ready for bed one night she had offhandedly made a comment, “Jake, I’d like to make some changes in the bedroom.” He paused while pulling off his shirt and responded with a devious grin, “Me too!” “No, I’m not talking about sex, I’m talking about adding crown molding, new paint, new pictures on the wall and maybe a new comforter.” His sad eyes said it all and his desire to continue the conversation quickly evaporated. Discussing sex was something they just never had done, it just wasn’t proper. They had both been raised to believe sex was something done with the lights out, no talking and never ever discussed. Apparently, the extra glass of wine at dinner had lowered her inhibitions just enough, with out even thinking she said, “Tell ya what, you make a list of changes you’d like to see in the bedroom, I’ll make a list of changes I’d like to see and we’ll commence negotiations.” She could see she had his attention and didn’t want to lose him, “It’s not like we are have to do everything on each of the lists, but it might be fun.” Jake sat on the bed looking off into space. “Jake, Jake….Jake…are you listening to me?” “Uh yeah, sorry…just had started my list in my mind and got carried away…sorry.” His smile had ...

Crown molding 2. New paint 3. New blinds for the windows 4. A new comforter 5. New pictures on the wall Simple, not to much to ask. Jake shouldn’t have any problems with these simple requests. Setting her list aside she went about the rest of her daily chores and felt as though she was being reasonable and very low maintenance. At noon, Jake sent her a text, “So, how goes the list?” “Finished over morning coffee, yours?” she replied. “Just about finished. How many things are on your list?” “Five, how bout yours?” No response. Silence. Nothing. “Jake, how many?” “Uhhh fifteen….but I can shorten it…” She was amazed. Fifteen things he wanted to change about their sex life. What on earth could he be thinking? She was instantly very curious. She wasn’t sure if she should be angry, offended, excited, dreadful or pleased. They had always communicated well about everything, well almost everything. Just because they never talked about sex didn’t mean it was bad…did it? “Umm no, don’t shorten it, I think I’m looking forward to it.” “Okay then, see ya tonight.” By 8:45 Maddi was a mess, her mind was bouncing, she was excited, but nervous. She sat on the edge of the bed, her simple list of five items folded beside her. She waited and wondered. Jake came into the room at exactly 9:00. He joined her on the ...
