Drabble 1: Return visit
Emily slowly turned the key in the front door. She had been here hundred's of times, but this time was different. She wasn't arriving at the same time as him and she wasn't coming over after they got off work. Her flight wasn't supposed to be until tomorrow but she changed it for an earlier spending hours at the airport waiting on standby hoping to get home a day early. She knew he never was expecting this. She had been in Virginia teaching a weeklong seminar about crisis negotiation at Quantico. It had been the longest week of her life. She missed him. She missed him more than she ever thought possible and that is why she found herself carefully sneaking into his house at 2:30 in the morning. They had talked every day at least twice, and her text-messaging bill would be outrageous, but it worth it to know he missed her just as bad as she missed him. She quietly crept through the house back to his bedroom. She knew the path all too well that she didn't need to wait for her eyes to adjust to the darkness. She set down her bag and began the process of getting ready for bed. She didn't want to wake him just yet. She debated the finer points of wearing pajamas then deciding that they would be off in a matter of minutes anyway and climbed in bed next to him naked. She wrapped an arm around his waist and began her assault with small gentle kisses on his arm then making her way to his neck. He began to stir rolling over on his back and sleepily opening his eyes. He grinned big when he saw the woman he loved looking down at him. He pulled her into a passionate kiss rubbing her back. The kisses turned urgent as the need to be together became very evident. Emily smiled as he climbed on top of her ready to show her just how much he missed. For once it was just the two of them. No worrying about pagers or cell phones. No crisis to handle, no teasing from co-workers. Just Matt and Emily together, how it should be. They were what they were a couple in love that missed each other tremendously. It's a good thing neither one had to work tomorrow because they would get no sleep on this night.
