APRIL BEATLES

Chapter 6/7: "Something"

----------------

I'm watching her as she climbs out of my bed, and I roll on my side, my eyes following her as she moves across the room. She's so incredibly graceful. Perhaps it's her background in dance that's given her such grace... lots of practice of fluid movements. Or perhaps her grace is natural... much like her beauty. Either way, I've never loved her more.

Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover

She's the most beautiful creature in the world, and I think it took someone bigger than God to create her. She's not just heaven-sent. It's so far beyond that. And now I finally get to show her how much I love her... how much she means to me, and how attracted I am to her... mind, body, and now soul.

Something in the way she woos me

She emerges from the bathroom, grinning her wonderful grin at me... that one that toes the line between angelic and just plain devilish... and she curls her finger at me, beckoning me to join her for a shower. I just shake my head and outstretch my arms, and she just laughs, her hair catching in the sunlight as she tips her head back. My beautiful Catherine.

I don't wanna leave her now, you know I believe in how

She shakes her head at me still grinning, and makes her way back to the bed... to my side. There's only one thing I want right now... and no, it's not that. She knows what I want, too. That smile on her face tells me that she knows. She always does.

Somewhere in her smile she knows

She's everything I want right now... and is everything I could possibly need. I came too close to losing her in the past week. I don't ever want to let her go. I find it hard to breathe when she's not around. It gets hard to concentrate. Then again, I don't do much concentrating when she's nearby, either. As soon as I feel her in my arms, I hold her tight to me, kissing the top of her head as she curls back under the covers. I can't possibly fathom being able to love somebody as much as I love her... and I can't fathom ever loving another woman. Come to think of it, I don't remember loving anyone before I met her.

That I don't need no other lover

She lifts her head up to smile at me, and I kiss her wonderful lips. They're still swollen from all our kisses... the passion that passed between our mouths during our lovemaking. She's never looked so beautiful to me... and when I tell her this, she just smirks and rolls her eyes. My sexy Catherine.

Something in her style that shows me

I pull her flush against me once more and dust her face with kisses, while she giggles and playfully struggles against me. I can't help but laugh. She really brings out the softie in me.

I don't wanna leave her now, you know I believe in how

After stopping my playful face-kissing with a passionate kiss to my lips, she pulls away and stares deeply, seriously into my eyes as she asks what will happen next. I'm assuming she means with us... because she's the one that started the shower, so she should know that's what's coming next.

You're asking me will my love grow

I know exactly what's gonna happen next, but I don't dare tell her. A part of me wants to scream out what I want to happen... but then there's another part of me that's telling me to let her sweat it out. She's played coy with me plenty of times. If she can dish it out from time to time, she's gotta be able to get it back. So I just shrug and tell her that I don't exactly know what's gonna happen next... but I think my grin reassures her that everything will turn out okay.

I don't know, I don't know

I tell her I want us to take things slow and see what happens... although that's the last thing I want. And suddenly I can see in her eyes that's the last thing she wants, too.

You stick around and it may show

I ask her if she expected a different answer... and she's staring off into space now, looking solemn, just shrugging her slender shoulders.

I don't know, I don't know

I reassure her that we'll be fine... and that we just need time to adjust to this. When she turns and meets my eyes, she dives right past them... and suddenly I'm sure she can tell what I'm thinking. She knows what the plan is. She always knows. My brilliant Catherine.

Something in the way she knows

I know she can see the twinkle in my eyes... and hers suddenly start to twinkle back. If she does know what the plan is, she's gonna let me have my fun. I can tell that much... from her eyes, and her smile. The grin on her face is almost of a smug nature. Like all the times in the past she's caught me while I was thinking about her. It's that exact same grin.

And all I have to do is think of her

After kissing my lips tenderly once more, she pats my chest and pulls away... the feel of her warm, naked flesh leaving mine causing me to exhale in an agonized groan. She felt so good. She smirks knowingly and strokes my cheek... probably loving the feel of me as much as I love the feel of her.

Something in the things she shows me

As she heads for the bathroom... giving me a fantastic view along the way... she turns over her shoulder ever-so-briefly and quirks an eyebrow... her devilish smirk returning to those fabulous lips as she once more beckons me to join her. Along with that beckoning smile comes a mischievous twinkle in her eye... one that is a promise of things to come.

I don't wanna leave her now

So with wide eyes, I jump out of bed and scamper after her.

You know I believe in how

That's all the incentive I need.
