"Jane."
Hearing your voice as you walk through the door is the highlight of my day, every day. The hours away from you are tortuous and I can't keep from counting the minutes until I hear you call my name.
You have many names for me and I love the way you say each one.
I have been home for a few hours, long enough to soak in the tub and let the day's stress ebb away. Frank was more trying than usual today. He hates my guts and I can't wait to get off his division. I'm this close to quitting altogether. I know you'll tell me I shouldn't be working anyway.
I have also napped but the bed, big enough for four, is too empty without you, even if your cologne lingers on the white sheets and pillows. You're not good for my sleep. Not during the day and certainly not at night.
"Jane?"
Your voice is closer this time. There's an answering flutter in my heart. This isn't normal. I shouldn't feel like this after all this time.
I sit cross-legged in front of the dresser and slowly run my fingers through my long, curly hair. When I look in the mirror, I see you leaning in the doorway. I smile.
You exude masculinity, in your navy blue suit, sky blue shirt, blue-and-red patterned tie, and with your perfect haircut.
You walk over to me and plant a chaste kiss on my lips.
"You smell good," you say, sniffing my slightly damp hair. I put my arms around your neck then and pull your lips to mine again. I am not so chaste with my kiss. I was thinking too many naughty things in the tub and now I am impatient.
