He was alone. Laying in the hotel bed the TV on but not paying any attention to what is on just taking comfort in the noise.
The phone rings. "Hello?" His eyes crinkle a smile on his face as he hears her voice.
"How was your day," she asks?
"Meetings," he says "long boring not very productive." How was your day?
"About the same, you know how it is."
"Yes same stuff different day and location. I wish I was home. I miss you."
"I miss your too," she says. He can hear the tiredness in her voice wishing he were there to hold her to help her.
"I'll be home on Friday. I miss you."
"I miss you too darling. I love you."
"I love you too. I have to meet some people for dinner tonight and have to get ready. I love you I will see you Friday."
She tells him she loves him again and he hangs up the phone.
He goes off to dinner and has several drinks hoping he will be able to sleep better tonight. Returning to his room he sees the message light blinking a green beacon in the still dark room. Thinking it might be from work he decided to ignore it while he went to the bathroom and relieved himself, brushed his teeth and prepared to go to bed. He walked into the room and flopped on the bed clicking the remote to see if any earth shattering events had happened while he was at dinner. He clicked over to the local news and watched the not too proficient talking head tell the audience how wonderful the local high school football star was. Then a too happy weather girl tells everyone that there is a 70% chance of rain the next day. Yawning he clicks the off button and the screen fades to black.
He reaches over to turn off the light and sees the green message light still blinking he turns off the light and pushes the button to listen to the message. It's her.
"Honey, I just want to tell you good night and that I love you."
He smiles laying back on the pillow and drifts off to sleep mumbling, "I love you too my love."
It's a wonderful late spring day warm but not too hot, a gentle breeze blowing the puffy clouds across the sky, the scent of apple blossoms drifting over the hills and her laughter filling the air. She is and pulling him toward the lake. He stumbles clumsily trying not to spill the picnic basket. Reaching the edge of the lake he drops the basket and scoops her into his arms his lips stifling her shriek of happiness. He holds her tightly to him twirling her small body around as they kiss. He stumbles they fall together laughing onto the grass. He reaches for her pulling her close again their lips coming tenderly together her eyes closed his hand stroking her hair. They lay close together feeling the beating of each others hearts their lips tenderly nibbling tongues tasting the sweetness of each others mouths. The kiss finally ends both of them gaping for breath. Looking into her eyes he sees her love for him and can't believe how lucky he is to be with this beautiful woman.
They spread the blanket laying out their picnic. Both of them laughing as the wind swirls their napkins into the air both of them grabbing for the fluttering wisps before they get away. He opens the bottle of wine pouring the sparkling red into the plastic cups. Handing her a cup he holds his glass up offering a toast. "To the most beautiful woman I've ever been with."
She blushes, her cheeks turning the color of the wine. "To the most handsome and gallant man I know." He blushes in turn, touching his cup to hers and sipping the sweet wine.
They eat cold fried chicken, potato salad and some stale cookies from the Minute Mart as they sip the cheap both of them feeling their eating a gourmet feast so enraptured are they of each other.
Laying on the blanket watching the clouds pointing out the shapes they see as the clouds drift overhead. Hands touching laughing lost in the joy of the moment.
She is looking at the clouds he is watching her. He leans over kissing her cheek caressing her hair. Whispering in her ear how beautiful she is, how perfect. She turn to look at him their eyes meet her lips move to his they kiss again long lingering gentle kisses whispered words of love his arms pulling he to him her small body so soft against his. Their hands caressing each other holding each other close. His hand slides over her chest cupping the soft mound of her heaving breast. She moans softly at his touch her body responding her nipples swelling hardening. His big hands gently squeeze the now stiff peak of her breast making her groan softly. He lips kissed down the angle of her jaw to her neck under her ear his tongue wetly teasing the soft skin of her neck. His hot breath whispering, "I love you" into her ear as he worshipfully caresses her body.
"Ohoooo," she moans her fingers twisting in his hair holding his head to her neck, her whole being savoring the exquisite feeling of his loving caress.
