Such Is Life
Part 29
I remember the feelings I had as I got ready to go downstairs and meet him. I felt a sick kind of excitement,my head was spining and my heart pounded. I walked into the restaurant and I saw him stand up. He was wearing tight black jeans and a white tshirt that fitted snugly over his muscly arms. His hair was tied back rom his face, just a few strands hung lose around his cheeks. he smiled as I walked towards the table.
"Hi!" He kissed my cheek and I sat down and smiled. To my relief he looked as nervous as I did. "You want something to eat or.."
"No thanks, I'll just have a coffee." I fiddled with my hands clasped together on the table, barely even able to look at him. The waiter came over and he ordered 2 coffee's and we sat in silence for a few minutes. I just wanted to get up and hug him, feel his strong arms around me again, instead I stared out of the window willing my mind to come up with something to say.
"So, how have you been?" He asked as the coffee was placed infront of us.
"Ok, you?"
"Warn out to be honest but ah I might be getting a week off."
"Oh that's good." I smiled and looked down at my hands.
"I was ah wondering if you could get a week off aswell? I mean you don't have to but if you want I thought we could spend some time together or..."
"I can ask!" I smiled.
"Oh cool." he smiled back at me.
Again we sat in silence, God it was hard. Eventually he laughed & I gave him a strange look.
"Well look at us two!" he shook his head.
"Yeah pretty pathetic huh?"
"Wanna get out of here?"
"Sure." I smiled and we stood up and left.
We walked for a long time,just talking about his job, my job, the weather, anything to make conversation. I loved the sound of his voice, I just wished I could think of something to say but my mind was blank. Eventually he stopped and turned me around, "So, you wanna go away when we have this week off?"
"I haven't even got the week off yet!" I smiled.
"Yeah but you will right?"
"Probably! I can't think of the last time I had a holiday!"
"So?"
"Oh erm yeah sure! You have anywhere in mind?"
"Maybe!" He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. As we started to walk again his hand found mine and I felt his fingers curl around and clutch it tightly.
We walked a little further and again he stopped and pulled me towards him. We looked at each other for a while and he touched my cheek and smiled. "We're still married right?"
"Um yeah!"
"So I can do this...." he leaned in and kissed me, pulling me close and running his hands up my back, taking my breath away. ".....and no one can complain right?"
"No, I wouldn't have thought so!" I smiled.
"So I can do it again?"
"I hope you do!" I stared at him and he smiled before kissing me again.
