You were already in the zone on your game when you heard Kate get out of the shower. She had gotten home after you had so you had some time to kill and fictional beasts to slay. Kate smiled and stood in the doorway wearing you shirt, waiting for you to notice her. She was wearing it just the way she knew you liked, the top few buttons undone, hem coming to mid-thigh.

“Now you’re dead. You can suck it. Oh, you want more? Come get it, buddy, ‘cause I got something special for you.”

You had muttered into the headset, fingers moving over the controller buttons to land some insane combo to defeat your in-game enemies. At this point, you hadn’t spared Kate a glance.

“I’ve got something special for you, too,” she murmured, letting the shirt slip off one shoulder. For a second, just a second, you glanced her way. Then your eyes darted back to the screen.

That stung. There was a time when her wearing a sexy outfit would get an immediate response from you.

Kate sighed, shifting her stance as you continued to pay more attention to your friends in the digital world than your very hot girlfriend. “Would you rather play with some kid in a digital world or—” she lowered her voice, standing just beside you, “—with me in the real world?”
