26. Telephone
Thanks to Serandi, tipsu, Rainediamond, James Birdsong, Doc-sama, for reviewing the previous chapter!
A/N: Wheeeeee~ a slight continuation from 25. Caramel Apple but it can be read as a stand-alone.
Disclaimer: Don't own Mamoru and sailormoon.
"I don't like it." She blurted out, fingers curling around the phone in a deathly grip. "Mamo-chan, the house just doesn't feel the same without you."
His heart wrenched at the sound of her dejected voice. He could literally hear her determination to stay strong wavering. I shouldn't have asked that question.
"Shh, I'll be back before you even know it!" He soothed her over the line.
Usagi was trying very hard. It was just so difficult without him around. No hugs and kisses when she came home, no smells of him cooking in the kitchen. She even missed the smell of coffee he always brewed in the morning. Choking back a sob, she tried to hold her voice steady. "I know. It's just for another week, right?"
The faint hitch in breath was all Mamoru needed to know that his wife was crying.
"Usako, think of what you want me to do to you when I get back home?" He tried, in an attempt to make her look forward instead.
"Mmn? Ehehe." Her sheepish voice startled him. "Well, a lot of things. Especially on the bed." I said it! I said it! Her inner voice cried with glee. She was clearly blushing right now, and he knew it. Mamoru smothered down a groan at the end of the sentence.
"You know I want to do a lot of things to you on the bed as well, Usako." He chuckled. There's so many things I wish I could do to you right now. "Maybe you should get new bedsheets before I come back just for our… activities? Remember the last time with the caramel left over from the caramel apple pies?"
"I bought them already." Her eager answer startled him. "Also, I bought some toys to help myself through this week. So if you want to see me play with them, come back quickly!"
He smiled widely, his body hardening in an instant. Trust his wife to make good use of his credit card when he wasn't around. He walked towards the hotel's wardrobe, checking for the gift he had bought for her. "Don't play too much; leave some for me when I get home, okay?
"That depends on how fast you're coming home~" She teased him, letting a slight humming sound float through the telephone. He groaned out loud this time, knowing what he was missing out on. "Usako, you better prepare yourself so that you don't faint when I come home."
"I'll call you tomorrow to remind you what you're missing out on. Ehehe. Goodnight Mamo-chan! Wet dreams!" With that, she hung up.
She is definitely fainting when I get home. He promised himself as he slid under the covers of the hotel bed.
