Turkey, mustard, tomatoes, romaine, a knife, a cutting board, and of course, wheat bread are out on the oak table. Having arthritis in my back, it's hard for me to sit down for long periods of time, so the breakfast table is now just a transitional area between hunger and consummation. After cutting a few slices off the tomato, I wrap it in cellophane and lick my fingers. Grabbing it, I walk across the kitchen and put it in the vegetable drawer, pulling out a slice of American I had forgotten.
"Hey, what's up? Where's
my
sandwich?"
Julia's bright green eyes were taunting me from my table, as I walked back up to it. For a second, I wanted to rub my hand down her smooth arm, but I decided against it, and started to unwrap my cheese. The plastic fell to the floor, and Julia bumped me grabbing it off the floor. I couldn't help but take a step back while she bent in the somewhat short skirt.
"Dammit."
She bounced back up, an inquisitive look on her face, "What?"
The way her lips curved, so rounded. The way her hair fell just to her shoulders, slightly curling, red and blond veining through the dark brown. Everything about her was round. There were no sharp corners to get caught up on. "Julia? Would you do something for me?"
Her downcast eyes lifted, "Whatcha want?"
