Part 2: Underwear and Coffee
Lee thought about how good Amanda was, she let him into
her house and gave him high quality hospitality, without an explanation and
didn't show any sign of annoyance, almost like she enjoyed his company, maybe
she did. Lee thought about what a long way they had come, a year ago this would
never have happened. Amanda was his best friend…or was it more.
Lee took off his clothes and put them into a pile with
his shoes. He started to put on her robe but thought that it might not be such
a good idea for him to be naked under the robe, so he started to search her
drawers for some shorts. Before he did so he thought for a second about the
irony of the situation...he was naked in Amanda's bedroom, just the thought
brought a grin to his face and he wondered whether this would ever happen
again.
The top drawer was just what Lee was afraid of, 'the
underwear drawer' to one side was Amanda's silky bottoms, while on the right,
laid her bras. Lee knew he would get into trouble if he kept this drawer open
so he reluctantly shut it. The second one held all her shirts and t-shirts.
When he got to the third drawer he was relieved to find what he was looking for
because he didn't think he could keep up going through all of her clothing like
this.
The shorts he picked out were sweats that had an elastic
waste, they were tight and really short…his ass was just about hanging out, but
it was the largest pair he could find so he managed. Then he put the robe on
and snuck downstairs, with his wet clothes in hand.
When he reached the bottom of the stairs he saw her
reaching for coffee mugs on the top shelf and saw her shirt rise up a bit and
caught a view of her bare lower back and then his eyes drifted to her butt, he
took in how beautiful she was (not just her butt). He thought, 'She is so
pretty in her natural state, no make-up, no shoes, no bra, then he wondered if
she was wearing a pair of those silky underwear that he saw in her top
drawer…don't go there Stetson.'
Amanda could feel Lee's presence and turned around, 'He
looks so funny in that white terry cloth robe especially since it's mine,' he
was walking over.
"What took you so long?"
"Had to find a pair of shorts."
"Oh, good idea." Secretly smiling to herself.
They both stood there in silence unsure of what to say
next until Lee broke it with, "Is the coffee ready?"
"Almost. Can I have your clothes to put them in the
wash?"
"Sure, here" He handed her the armful of wet
material. "Where should I put my shoes?"
"Oh, just put them on the mat by the door" she
called from the laundry room. She was putting his clothes in piece by piece,
when she got to his blue boxers she just smiled, shook her head, and dropped
them in.
She came in and saw Lee pouring the coffee.
"Coffee's ready."
"I see."
"Oh, didn't realize you were right behind me."
He handed her a mug full of coffee "Couch?"
"Sure."
"Well there isn't really much to tell, for once my
excuse isn't that I got attacked by the KGB on the way home." They both
smiled with a slight chuckle and sipped their coffee.
Lee told Amanda his story about how he was coming home
after being debriefed at the Agency about the latest case and that the Vette
got a flat only a few blocks from her house and he hadn't replaced the spare
from the last time he got a flat so he just walked here since it seemed
sensible at the time because his apartment was a lot farther away and nobody
would be able to help him out once he got there.
"Well, I'm glad you came."
"You are? Why?" A curious Lee asked.
"Just because... I like knowing that you're safe
and spending time with you."
"That's sweet. I like spending time with you,
too... just because."
"Thanks." She leaned over, gave him a kiss on
the cheek and then stood up. "More coffee?"
"Sure. I'd love some."
"Your stuff is done washing so I'll just throw it
in the dryer." She called from the kitchen.
"Okay."
They talked late into the night and early morning about
nothing in particular. Mostly about how crazy their lives were and everything
in them. They enjoyed the time together and after the coffee was gone Lee just
held Amanda in his arms as they whispered to each other until she fell asleep.
TBC soon…
