An Ordinary Morning


After taking a shower together we sat in her kitchen.  She read the
paper and sipped chamomile tea.  I drank Viennese coffee and nibbled
on my bagel and occasionally her earlobe.

-- Uh, oh, she laughed.

I slipped my hand inside her robe.  Her nipples started to go crinkly.

-- He wants something.

My hand slipped further down.

She put down her tea cup.

-- Hmmm, feels like you're still a bit wet and sticky, it must
be soap.  Maybe I'd better make sure you didn't miss a spot.

-- Oh, she gasped suddenly.  Look, they've cut the school budget again.

Damnit.

-- Don't worry, you know how these budget things go.  One day it's
in, then it's out, then it's in again.  You just got to go with it.

She opened her legs wider.

-- Huh, maybe... but things are kind of hard at work already.  Ungh!

She moaned, my poor dear.

-- You'll do alright.  Besides, if we, you know, live together we'd
both cut our expenses.  I mean, we'd get by if one of us had problems.

Her eyes went wide.

-- I'm serious.

She was trembling, biting her lip.  Almost.

-- You know, she said, the weather forecast is for storms.

I took my hand back.  I said:

-- And given the weather I suppose you'll want to catch the early bus.

She crumpled the newspaper in her fists.

-- Bastard.

I licked my fingers.  Bagel crumbs.

-- Aren't we men terrible?

-- You have your uses.

-- Yes?  Like?

-- Like, would you drive me to work this morning so I won't be late?  Please?

I slipped her robe off and tossed it on the floor.

I was all over her.  Neck, ears, the small of her back, the back of her knee.

I picked her up in my arms and headed for the bedroom.

-- Wait, my robe...

-- Don't worry, your roommates will pick it up.

                         *      *     *

We were both pretty quiet as I drove her to work.  She held my hand on
her lap while I drove and gave it back whenever we turned a corner.

We arrived.  She opened the door and got out.

-- Thanks for the ride.

-- Anytime.

-- You know, I could get used to this.  Getting a ride to work, I mean.

She grinned and shut the door.

I'll get her for that one.  Next time.
