for RebaForever15. Just some cute bedroom banter ala the Wizard Of OZ.
James woke first to fine M curled up beside him with her arm draped across his chest. As he looked down at her he was immediately struck by how incredibly beautiful she was. She looked so peaceful almost like Sleeping Beauty and he thought to himself "Sleeping Beauty is awakened by Prince Charming with kisses" as a mischievous smile formed across his lips. "Why not give it a try" so he leaned down and gently placed a kiss on her lips. At first she seemed startled but then quickly responded by pulling him close to deepen the kiss.
"Good morning beautiful he said as he broke the kiss "Sleep well?"
"Never better" she replied with a slight grin "And you?"
His response was to pull her closer and kiss the top of her head as he replied "Never better indeed"
"Why did you call me beautiful? I am anything but beautiful first thing in the morning" she said sounding a bit perplexed.
"Because I think you are amazingly beautiful first thing in the morning, but then I also think you are supremely beautiful when you are angry"
"Oh, really!" she replied
"Why else do you think I enjoy winding you up so much? It isn't hearing how many decibels you can hit, it's the way your eyes seem to come to life and almost dance, it's really quite amazing and beautiful" he said with a devilish grin.
"Honestly James sometimes..."
"Which by the way leads me to my next point, Did I tell you how absolutely brilliant you were yesterday with Mallory?"
"No why? What made it so bloody brilliant?" she asked curiously
"The way you handled him and the excuse about tragically losing a member of your family, it was just...Well it was just bloody brilliant" he said sounding almost amazed at her ability to think that quickly "So who was the member of the family" he asked teasingly
"Well if you must know it is my memory" she said rather lightheartedly
"Your memory?"
"Yes my memory, you see it holds the key to my life, family included, losing it has been rather tragic to say the least so I wasn't exactly lying when I said I've lost a family member" she replied smugly
"Oh I see" he said with a laugh "Fair enough"
" So what would you like to do today?" he asked
"I suppose staying in bed all day is out of the question" she replied jokingly
"I don't see why, that is unless you have managed to fill up your calendar without my knowledge"
"No not really" she said almost sounding a bit depressed
"Hey, what's wrong"
"Oh it's nothing really just that I feel a bit like Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ" she said
"Why is that?"he asked sounding intrigued by her analogy
"Well you know the whole bump on the head, memory loss thing, then there's the not recognizing the people I see every day, all that's missing are the flying monkeys and my life would be complete" she said with a slight laugh
"So let me get this straight" said James as he tried his best not to laugh or giggle "If you're Dorothy than who are the Lion, The Tin Man and The Scarecrow?"
"I guess Bill would be the Lion as he has the courage as long as there is someone else along to point it out, and Eve would be the Tin Man as she has such a big heart and would do anything for anyone so I guess that makes you the Scarecrow, you know the brains of the whole operation" she said smiling up at him.
"Oh really the Scarecrow?' he said with a wide grin
"Yes" she replied slyly "I've personally always thought he had a thing for Dorothy" she finished with a wink
"Well in this case you are absolutely correct, He does very much" he said as he leaned in to kiss her "So who would be the Wicked Witch as it I have to ask" he said
"Certainly not Mallory, He's more the flying monkey type" she said with a laugh
"I suppose we should get up" she said as she began the process of untangling herself from both James and the sheets.
"If we must." replied James rather unhappily "Say do you fancy a drive in the country? The fresh air might do you some good"
"Yes, that sounds lovely" she said as she made her way to the bathroom for a shower
"Right then" he said as he got up. "I'll make the arrangements"
