I pull up to the sidewalk and step out of my car, more than a bit surprised to find you out on the driveway, shovel in hand. You ignore me as I approach, continuing to scrape and scoop snow from the cement as I approach.
"I told you I'd do that today."
"Couldn't wait." you reply, stifling a coy smile.
"I'm five minutes late."
"More like ten."
"Five." I repeat, taking the shovel from you. "Coffee, black." A swift smack to your rump sends you trotting in the direction of the front door, intentionally wiggling your shapely assets all the way.
I make fairly quick, if strenuous, work of the shoveling. I'm chilled to the bone, nevertheless as I enter to find you padding about the kitchen in your powder blue flannel pajamas and my white knee socks.
"It's warm in here." I comment, tossing my jacket onto a nearby chair.
"Mmm." you respond as you pour and hand me a hot mug of java. "I'm down to one layer." You then go to the stove and lift some pastries from an oven pan using a spatula. You gaze momentarily at the instrument, no doubt considering its punitive possibilities, then hand me a dish on which you've placed two large, gooey sweet rolls. Closing my eyes, I breath in the enchanting aroma of cinnamon. "Trying to postpone the inevitable?" I ask with a wry hint of suspicion.
"More like basking in the suspense." you reply, bowing your head slightly, an infectious grin spreading across your blush-stained face.
"Delicious."
"You haven't even taken a bite."
"I'm talking about the suspense."
As I devour one of the rolls, your curious eyes find their way to the rather conspicuous bulge straining against the fabric of my pants.
"Who's your friend?" you inquire, raising an eyebrow and placing a hand on your hip.
