I live for the moment I hear that catch in her throat with our first kiss. Her breathing getting heavier with each tender touch, and caress of her sensitive places, I wait for those three words she will not say..., yet.
*****
I love knowing you in every way you are!
Suddenly she was climbing over me getting off the bed, kneeling in front of me, smashing her mouth onto mine had my arms automatically wrapping around her so tight she squeaked! Those confession to others left back with the two people in the mirror for a later time.
"I'm listening to your heart beat," she said, her head laying on my chest, as we laid there on the bedroom floor.
I laughed.
"I'm truly going to hate leaving you too," she said.
I actually felt my heart stop, my breath catching in my throat.
"I wish I could stay," she tells me.
Heart starts, breathing begins.
"Bobby, I've love being here with you," she went on. "And I want you to know how much you mean to me. That what I told you hasn't changed how you feel about me. Because Bobby, I want more of this..., I need it, I want it, and I want it with you!" She said.
"Need it...," she really said that?
Now suddenly wide awake, wondering why I'm still laying on the floor; oh yes, this is where we fell asleep, and right next to my nice big king size bed too; rubbing my eyes, trying to clear my head.
But now it's the sound of a phone, the ring tone definitely not my phone! So what is this one?
Where I realize, when I hear her voice from the hallway, still in my foggy state of mind, automatically think it's Jon who's calling, and that's why she's out there, So not bothering to look at the alarm clock on the night stand over on the other side of the bed, and without my watch, I automatically guess it's him. So maybe it's about 5 AM, the time he usually calls her.
But now it's hearing her, "Hey, how are you? -- No, I was already up. And no it's not an inconvenient time either. -- Yes I know, and I'm sorry I haven't given you an answer to that. -- No..., no! It's definitely not. It's just..., I need to work out some things first. -- No, I'm not at home. I've been staying with a friend. -- Yes -- so..., how about I call you later today, would that be okay? Yes, I promise I will. -- Okay, -- You to, bye."
A clearer thought now of; not Jon! But an addition to her admissions at a later time?
Then just seconds after that call ends, it's a ring tone I recognize from times before, where this tme she answers it with, "Good morning! -- Yes I was. A friend just called who wants to meet me this weekend so he can buy me dinner; he's the geologist I told you about, I've been holding off on telling him yes. Why? -- Well, you know everything that's coming up. Plus Maria, and I need to sit down and plan things because I won't be home until next Thursday. -- Okay, an your flight gets in when -- good. And we're still picking them up at the airport? -- Great! I'm excited to see them again, I hope Calista is coming along too! -- Yes, I know. She sends me emails, keeping me up to date on what she's been doing -- Okay. -- Sure -- Alright hon. Call me later? -- Alright; bye to you too."
An added thought, telling Jon about going to dinner with a male friend; maybe not so unusual considering her job, where she must tell Jon about her business trips, events and people she meets and knows; the geologist? So that call I know was from Jon. The other..., persistent Brian? Now pushing all that aside, it's forcing my stiff body up off the floor, then into the shower.
But when stepping out of the shower taking a towel I see the coffee cup sitting on the vanity. Then looking into the bedroom to see her overnight bag on the bed with some of her clothes laying next to it; but she's nowhere in sight. So taking a sip from the coffee cup thinking, this is good; just the way I make it too.
But it's her coming back into the bedroom with her, "Good you're out of shower, now my turn," she says, coming to stand in the bathroom door, wearing the shirt dress she had on last night, every button still undone, showing flashes of her beautiful self and should I call it bed hair or, great sex hair, as she's holding her own cup of coffee.
"Catherine, you made the coffee?"
"Yes. Is it all right, not to strong or to weak is it?"
"No, it's perfect! Just the way I like it; thank you!"
"Well it should be! It's the way you make it," she says.
"Oh? And how would you know that?" Asking her.
"Because I watched you making it up the other night," she's telling me. To a nod of my head in appreciation,
"You're not only beautiful, you're smart and observant; just like the code for the security system. Which I forgot about getting the app for your phone," telling her.
"Hey you, that's okay..., I have a key and the code.., remember?"
"Yes..., anyway I think I do." My head still a bit clouded from last night. "So the app, we'll get that another time." Telling her.
"I hope so," she says, now coming up to me. "Because, like I told you, I want lots and lots of other times like this!" She says. Followed by her hand behind my head pulling me to her with a very long hard kiss that makes me believe she means it.
"Would you mind if I leave some of my things here too," she ask when breaking the kiss.
