Hey, Cheers for the Reviews. I'm currently using Paddy and Pepper as their nicknames, because the letters are supposed to be light and fun. So I think using Patrick and Teresa would make it too formal.


Dear Paddy,

When I came up with our breakfast this morning, I saw you panic about not waking up to me being in the bed with you. You must have reached for me in your sleep, but just felt the sheets. My heart sank at this sight. Sweet Patrick, you silly fool, we haven't spent a night apart since that fateful day at the detention centre. I know that you tried to hide it when you finally noticed me in the doorway, holding the tray. But, I had already saw it. My sweet fool.

But, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your eyes light up when I walked through the door with our morning feast. You even made a joke saying that if you could have me for breakfast instead. I have to admit that I was tempted. But, I wasn't going to waste perfectly good food for a quick tumble. There's always time afterwards, which you took that opportunity with both hands.

Every time we make love, it's a new experience. It's like we're always discovering new things about each other. Sometimes it's tender and other times it's full of passion. You need to realise that your love is my drug. I crave it and lap it up when you offer it to me. I hope you feel the same. But I guess you do.

It's not just the love making that makes me stay by your side. It's the little moments as well. I enjoy lying about on the couch with you, eating ice cream whilst watching movies. Your chest is the perfect pillow. I like listening to your heartbeat under my head. It makes me feel safe and reminds me that this is not a dream. I also enjoy having you lie your head on my lap, watching your documentaries and nature shows, whilst I'm reading my book. It gives me an opportunity to run my fingers through your hair, which I know you enjoy as well. Don't deny it, I can hear you purr in content, whilst I do it.

You know, I swear that you remind me of a cat. A scraggly abandoned alley cat, that all he needed was love and affection. You like to lie about and sleep most of the day. You clean yourself up when I ask and you like to follow me everywhere. Even the toilet. You know, I am capable of doing that myself, but I'm always willing to leave my keys and wallet with you to prove that I'm not making a quick exit out the window. You should note that I'm short and not a spring chicken either, so climbing out a high window, would be near impossible.

I know that I don't like going out to posh restaurants, but I always feel million dollars when I'm on your arm. I can ignore all the snotty looks from women with names like Fifi or Amelia, because they're jealous that you chose me. I'm the lucky one. I have to admit that I love it when you buy me dresses to go out in. As I hate shopping and never know what to wear. But, I'm thankful that you let me buy my own underwear. It means that I can surprise you from time to time. Our conversations at dinner are always cheeky in nature but are light at the same time. I'm so glad that we're passed thinking that we can only talk about work. We have so much in common that it's nice.

I'll let you in a secret, you know Pike kept making fun of me because I feel asleep watching an old film with him. Well you were right, it was the company that was boring not the film. I'm so glad that you don't have to talk over the film to explain the themes and the camera angles to me. You know sometimes, I faked sleeping to get out of it. Whilst I enjoy the little tid bits of information that you like to share with me. I know that sometimes you like to make up stuff to make me laugh and see if you can trick me.

Well I've got to go, because you'll be back from the crime scene and the office will get busy again from people coming back from lunch.

See you soon Creaky.

Love

Pepper.
