Since it is early in the morning and you wanted to give me an "eye opener", you stop what you are doing to me and decide to make me wait before all of the "eye rolling" begins. You stand up and tell me a purring voice "I don't want to be rushed, I want you to wait and relax because you know I always take care of my sweetie and anything good is worth the wait. And you know I good I am." You bite me on ear lobe and I twitched. You take a look around to make that nobody is coming and I quickly pull up my shorts. And you kiss me and I can feel how soft and sweet you are. We walk further down the beach and closer to the water. The waves are breaking and I point out the ones that would be good to ride on a surfboard. And you asked me do I miss doing that, I say "sometimes" and pull you closer to me and kiss you gently on the forehead and I can feel the "goose bumps" on your arms when I do that do you. I ask you if you are cold, you look at me over the top of your sunglasses and say to me "Darling, I am just fine" in a throaty kind of voice and give me a wink. And I giggle back at you and you giggle too. There are signs of the beach coming to life. We get a passed a jogger and watch them get smaller as they run into the distance. The sun feels warm and soothing on our skin and the water is clean and clear. We start to wade a bit until our ankles are with the warm ocean water. I pull you closer to and we kiss for a bit and enjoy the sunrise on the beach even more because you and I are together here at this place and this time. The conversation that we have makes us smile, think, giggle and the odd burst out to song. And we look for seashells. We have seen a few but nothing cool. We have walked a distance and decide to sit “a spell” and watch the people around us. And make comments about them. I start to rub some sun block on your arms and legs and I can see the smile that is on your face and the look that you are giving me. I like what I doing to you. With each time that I apply lotion to your body that smile of yours get bigger and more beautiful and I drink it in and smile back at you. I ask you if you are ok and you again say to me, “Darling, Miss Linda has left the building, if you would like to leave your name and number at the sound of the tone. Beep. And I have stated to laugh at what you just said. I say back at you- “You silly, Missy Linda. And we both giggle in the warm sand. I move up so I can be closer to you. I rub sun block on your face and kiss you on the forehead and whisper in your ear-“Booga Booga.” And you start to crack up laughing. And I get to see that smile that makes me smile when ever I see it. The space were we are sitting is starting to get crowded and we decide to move someplace with less people and even less noise. This time we are closer to the water and we still watch the people to the edge of the water and wade and swim in. We can feel the water cover our feet when the waves come in and out and enjoying this time out doors and being with each other. We watch moms and dads bring little kids to the water’s edge watch their faces at the waves catches them off- guard. Some like the water and some just plain hated. I can feel you lean closer to me and I can feel your head on my shoulder. And I put my arm around you and I can feel sink closer to me. And I can feel your body melt into me and I smile very big. I lean over to kiss you on your forehead and I can hear you “purr” for a bit in my ear. I love the fact you and I are here. I glance over at you and all I can see is your face soaking up the sun and feel how warm the sun is and the way that you are feeling at this moment. I can feel how much you are in love with me. What a great feeling that is for the both of us. It has been a long time since we have been together. And that we have missed each other. And that we still are very much in love with each other. The distance between goes away when we see each other, even before we touch each other. Just like the second trip to Chicago. The moments before we had spotted each other where some of the longest moments that we have been apart and the most nerve wracking. But once we had spotted each other, we were both trying to be very cool about it. But on the inside we both wanted to run into each other’s arms and hold each other. And the weather outside really did not matter. Minus 5 and a wind chill of 10 below did not mean anything to us. I wanted to see that smile that got me in Jersey get me all over again in Chicago. It still does and always will have that effect on me. And you sitting here with me now and in the warm sun and near the waves is something that can and does make me smile here. And it will make me smile when you are not next to me and the weather is bad out side and you want a shoulder to lean on. I will have that time to treasure and guard the most.
I LOVE YOU, “Thumper”.
The End …… For Now…
