Cheery company? nice to be sure and if it is here i will be happy to visit, but i was quite content in staring into the flames, there is enough to be found in quiet companionship. Cg, dont think your silence is bringing me down, or oppresive, because it isnt-everyone has their moods, and i certainly dont mind yours. (if i did, i would have bid you goodnight, or not come in at all, just so you know.)
Goodnight Cg, sleep well standing, i give Cg a parting hug and a light kiss, taking the time to whisper in his ear softly it all looks better once some time has passed, the sun might shine tomorrow.
with the departure of the last friend, i find myself keeping watch alone, which tonight, is just as well. curling up in a chair, i take over the contemplation of the crackling fire, finding it soothing
The night is cold and long I set mesmerized by the glowing coals on the hearth. My eyes are heavy my body craves sleep and yet sleep does not come. My mind restless, as thoughts tumble trough it coming unbidden..
The first gray light of dawn creeps across the window sill, I rise and stoke the fire, wearily I make my way to the coffee pot hunger knowing at my stomach.
~ As He pours His coffee, I slip up behind Him.. silent on bared feet, even tho the floor is a bit chilled, the fire begins to warm the place, even the floor... fingers slowly glide up His spine, already seeing the tension that resides within ... letting my hands rest to His shoulders.. and begin a gentle massage... ~
CG... You are doing nothing wrong.... I fear perhaps it is cases of writer's block .. such as mine... or just plain busy as the time of the Holidays approach...
~ Leaning into Him.. arms curling about His form.. and just pulling Him into a warm hug.... having had plenty of stress myself... the hug benefits me... as well as Him I hope ~
Mmmm.. no coffee... just being around You is enough... CG.. at least for me... but I think I heard the distinct rumble of Your belly... may I get Your breakfast? Is Phoo awake? If not I can make You anything You wish...
~ Pulling back from the hug, again massaging His shoulders gently, leaning in to warm the back of His neck with my breath... then caress there with a soft touch ~
~ Her lips and His.. so close... that she pauses... looking within His eyes... reaching up to brush her fingertips along His cheek... she actually takes the intiative and leans in just that breath further... her lips and His meeting... touching... in the softest of kisses... her eyes closing beneath a veil of dark lashes ~
~ the kiss becomes consuming...breathing shared... a soft moan that vibrates over her lips is fed to Him... she pressing the softness of herself against the warmth of Him... tongues touch, entwine.. explore.. ~
MMmmmmmm
~a soft gasp as the kiss breaks for a moment... lips still barely touching ~
You know that just being near You makes me... weak... submissive.... wanting... needing... You awaken things in me... You always have...
"AHHH..yes... breakfast... I did promise.. and shall fullfill.."
~ with a warm smile.. I step back... daring to venture into Phoo Ming's kitchen.. He is no where to be seen.. perhaps he is dallying with Mari... and I take the advantage to make the requested breakfast...
Fresh eggs... scrambled with a sprinking of chedder, american, swiss cheeses...
Thick texas toast, with warm, fresh, melting butter...
Fresh coffee, milk, sugar on the side... in a large steaming mug.... and lastly...
Fresh strawberries cut with a dash of sugar for His sweet tooth....
This is brought out to Him... on a tray... to where He has moved to sit near the fire... I approach from across the Inn... and as I draw to His side, lower to my knees, sliding the tray onto the table that sits just before and to the side of Him...
"Breakfast...CG"
I take each of His hands before He reaches for HIs coffee, knowing He will go for that first.. and brush my lips to each... in a soft kiss...
