You step out of the shower and begin drying yourself off. I watch, unbeknownst to you. Thinking how I want my tongue to be the towel that thirstily drinks the liquid droplets that cover your body. I ache for you today. This day. Your birthday.
Slowly, I walk behind you. For a moment you hear nothing. Then you feel two warm, soft bumps of flesh against your back. You could swear there's nothing between your back and those fleshy bumps, but maybe you're wrong, though you doubt it, but maybe you are, but no, but maybe.
"What are you doing?" you ask casually.
You feel my whole naked body against your back. Definitely no clothes in between.
I kiss the back of your neck and then your shoulders. My hands slink around your waist and untie the towel you have around you. It falls around your ankles. I move my hands up toward your chest, not wanting to be too daring at first. I slide my fingers through your hair, grab a handful, pull your head back and to the side, and kiss your lips.
"Happy Birthday."
"Thank you" you reply, your voice sounding peculiar, because your head is cocked back so far and twisted so unnaturally. You are looking into my eyes at a strange angle.
"No words," I say, and kiss you again.
"I don't know if we should do this," you say, certain that you must look like a chicken with its neck broken.
"You have no choice," I say.
"Really?" And because of movies, you instinctively look down to see if I'm holding a gun. You are puzzled that I'm not.
"Then why do I have no choice?" you ask.
"'Then'? Why do you say 'Then'?"
