I reach across the bed and
my Max is gone. I shouldn't expect her to be beside me… I know she hardly
sleeps and yet I wish she were here with me. There is a note on my nightstand.
Gone for a run. Be back soon.
Love,
Max
Wow… Max being thoughtful. Who'd
have thought it? I guess I'll get up and face the day. She laid out a clean
pair of boxers for me…I guess the 'naked in chair' conversation actually
worked. She does listen after all. What am I thinking? Of course she listens.
Alright… Where's my journal? I'm
gonna copy my newest poem for Max onto that parchment paper I got. Here we go…
I'm sure Max will love that. What
shall I compare her to? A summer's day… No that's cheesy… How about 'Did my
heart love till now? Forswear its sight! For I never saw true beauty till this
night' or 'Oh no it is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never
shaken.' Why did Shakespeare know how to write of love so well? In one play, he
express so much about falling in love hard and fast. If I were to lose Max, I'd
be like Romeo on his knees screaming her name defying the stars & all the
life around him. I think it would drive me mad. Would I kill myself? I
considered it before we were together… I don't know. What I know for certain is
I will never let her go. I will always come for her… I'll not be separated from
my love.
I turn the page in my journal only to find her
handwriting… She's written something in my journal… I'm thinking we need to
discuss privacy… Awh… Now I can't be mad. She did something I have the right to
be mad over and now I'm just a pile of mush… She found her half in my heart.
I'm a huge sap… It's very hard to be manly now, when all I really want to do is
worship her.
The door just opened and unfortunately it's Bling.
"GO AWAY!" I fuss.
"Nice to see you too… Why do I have to leave?
Is Max in the bedroom or something?" he asks with an eyebrow raised.
"No… but she'll be coming back from her run and
I don't want you here!" I snap. I really just want to bundle her back into
bed for the day.
"Have plans for this morning?"
"Bling, if you don't get out of here in twenty
seconds, you're fired!" I try to drive home the point.
He looks at me angrily. "I will be back after
lunch to do your exercises… call me if that isn't enough time… You really need
to be working your leg muscles not just your lower back," he said with a
straight face.
My face is completely red, I'm sure. "How do
you know that we have been doing any such thing?" I demand. What am I
thinking? Of course Bling can tell. He has been over here almost every day for
months… It would be hard to miss even by the sound of my voice, I imagine.
Bling cocks his head and looks at me like I'm nuts,
"First of all you're a moron and second of all you are only wearing
boxers. It was hard to miss your intension, rolling towards me yelling 'Go
Away.' I made the assumption that it wasn't the first time because you were
planning on greeting Max with that sight and even you aren't so inept at women
to think that's a good come on."
Now I'm even redder. "I'm sorry. I'll exercise
this afternoon…"
He smiles, "I'll see ya later… Congratulations
man! I'm glad you guys finally admitted how you feel about each other." He
left the apartment just as Max was getting off the elevator. They smile at each
other. Max is turning a little pink.
"Hey babe. Do your exercises while I was
gone?" she says kissing me softly. She apparently doesn't notice what even
Bling caught.
"No he's coming back later this
afternoon."
"Why?" she says sweetly downing a bunch of
orange juice. I pull her toward me gently, seating her in my lap. "OH!!! I
see!" she reacts quickly as I laugh. "But I'm all sweaty."
"So… I was hoping to get you to that state anyway,"
I say with my devilish grin.
***********************************************************************
I'm holding my love in my arms
kissing her gently, reverently. "Max?"
"Hum?"
"Follow me," I whisper to
her. I climb into my chair.
"How bout the 'naked in chair'
thing we discussed earlier?" she asks.
"It's a few feet…" I
explain. She follows into the bathroom as I run the tub. I slide in and beckon
her to follow. I wash her whole body in silence, planting small kisses all over
her. I treat her to a lathered a bath sponge with lavender body wash. I move
her slowly so I can wash her hair. I want her to feel totally pampered and
doted on.
We lay in the steamy bath and I see
all signs of stress lift from my sweetness. "That was a first," she
whispered over her shoulder to me. "That felt wonderful."
"I'm glad you liked it… I love
you. Have I told you that yet today?"
"A few times actually… You tend
to tell me those little words while we're making love… You also tell me by what
you do, like this, the story, and your poems," she responded.
"Which reminds me… I have a new
one for you, but I imagine you already read it since I found your poem…I loved
it. It was the inspiration for our morning frolic."
A smile spread across her face.
"Thank you…but I didn't read it… I figured you would show me when you were
ready," she said caressing my arms.
"How bout we get out and I'll
read it to you?" I suggest as I kiss her forehead.
We get out of the bath and dry each
other off. I forgot how much fun it is to be intimate with another person like
this. All the heartache that we have gone through to get here is worth it for
these moments together. We go back to the bedroom and cuddle in bed as I read
Max my latest poem to her, my muse.
All for You
My heart- pounds
My eyes- tear
My senses- alive
My soul- soars
All for you…All for you
My laugh- engages
My smile- uplifts
My mood- improves
My wit- sharpens
All for you…All for you
My body- aches
My breath- spent
My skin- tingles
My lips- wait
All for you
All for you
All for my love!
