This is the beginning of a narrative based on how my Wife and I feel our morning could go. Enjoy!
=Part 1=
The pillow molded itself to the contour of her neck. The blanket seemed alive as her feet rubbed against themselves. She brought the sole of her foot up to her calve and traced it back down. The fabric made some friction, the heat was nice, but the sound was much more soothing. It was rhythmic and subtle.
It was something she could focus on, instead of the roaring fight for sound pollution. In one corner her dog, and the other her husband. She could hear the boxing bell ring, and she could picture the two of them sitting opposite each other in the ring, snoring to see who's the loudest. It'd have to be one for the judges, it was too close to call.
The snow continued to fall. Her eyes fluttered from flake to flake, as they danced in the light of the street lamp. It shined into the window, and bounced half-hazardly around the room.
She slithered her arm across his chest and under his bedsheets. Grabbing his shoulder, she gently suggested for him to roll toward her. Maybe if he was on his side he'd quit snoring.
Without words, she pulled at his heaving chest. And, to her delight, he began to move. He breathed in deep as he settled back down. They faced one another. Combing the hair on his head to one side, he began to smile. There was little doubt that he was still asleep.
Still, he reacted to the touch. The smile softened his breath. The back of his head faced the window. The light reached out and kissed her face. It shown just a fraction of her beauty and he was greeted with a wonderful sight.
They smiled a good morning. Their lips touched. His cold hand found her side and pulled her in. They retreated from each other as slow as they embraced.
The cotton of her top wasn't enough to keep the cold from his touch. Soon enough goosebumps traveled across her skin. It was static type of feeling, almost delayed. She didn't shiver until he let go of her and rolled back over.
It would stay dark for some time. The tilt of the earth made sure of that, and the clouds helped to conceal the evidence. He clasped the window drape and pulled it toward the center. It blocked the light, and soon the sudden shadow turned to a soft purple-like glow.
His thoughts were groggy. And, as he turned back over to hold his wife, she had already slipped from the bed and padded across the room to switch off an alarm. Knowing they woke before it gave them both hope for a good day. Most days were good, but today was already shaping to be great. He watched her thighs rub against each other, as she came padding back to bed.
