Having
woken up at two in the morning midway between a boiling boyfriend and a chilly
bedroom I found I had some time on my hands. I don't know where they'd been
while I was asleep but there they both were, when I looked at them; covered in
the stuff. The left rather more than the right if anything, dunno why. So I put
my old mans slippers on my old mans feet, one on each, and went into the kitchen,
which is right next to the bedroom in my boyfriend's flat, to have a …... no,
no, to make some tea.
You
thought I was going to wash it off, didn't you? Well I wasn't!
I do
still have one or two pleasures left in my life and drinking tea, often in the
middle of the night, is one of them. Especially when I have time on my hands.
I
felt confused. The streetlights on the hill were making weird patterns on the
window and my head felt woolly inside. Worse, my jaws ached for another reason
entirely. Trouble is you see, what with having driven to Lincoln in a fit of
pique and an old Ford motor car I seem to have mislaid at least one day of my
life somewhere. I am a bit annoyed about that, not having enough of them left
to be able to afford to lose any, so over the last few hours before we went to
bed I'd hunted high and low for it. In the kitchen and in the carport, even in
the rubbish bags under the bed.
All
to no avail. I hadn't driven fast enough to experience jet lag, crossed the
international date line or anything so where the hell was it? It was maddening,
so maddening that I was nothing like my usual self when we finally burrowed
under the quilt.
He's
not that sensitive a man, more a man who knows what he wants and goes all out
for it. Sometimes at a rather brisker pace than is comfortable. I didn't tell
him I had a headache or anything, or that he was making me sore and would he
please be careful. I think I'd have been wasting what little bit of my time I
suddenly seemed to have left. So I drifted off into a wonderland somewhere, a
place inhabited by compliant hermaphrodites with chocolate coloured skins and
lovely large nipples. Yes there is another story in that vein, you can read it
as soon as it is finished. It's a whole damn book in fact but fear not, I won't
bore you with all of it.
The
double grunt and sigh presented itself, right on cue, dribbling away onto the
plain white towel placed specially. He didn't ask how was it for me or
anything, huh, he just fell asleep. There and then, with a capital Zed. Yes
girls, I know that sounds familiar! To say I slept fitfully after that would be
a lie. I lay awake and ground my teeth with a hard on. The few teeth that
remain, that is. Lay awake and scratched and jiggled and thought about the blue
skinned creatures in Avatar and what it might be like to have it with one of
them.
Eventually,
as I was saying, I got up to make tea, so I'll get on with the story.
I
did feel really quite weird, sort of light headed and heavily bellied. Being
mostly male and mostly too old I knew it couldn't be pregnancy so I concluded
it must have been something to do with the wrong kinds of food followed by the
wrong sort of sex. For a while I wondered if perhaps he'd drugged me but then,
why would he bother? I do as he tells me anyway. I'm a good girl, I am, when I
am with him. What made it all the more disconcerting was the fact that all the
streetlights in Lincoln dimmed and flickered when I switched on the kettle.
Obviously
that did not bode well for poor Mr. J. Watt, the man who runs the local post
office, power station and lunatic asylum. It meant he had to get out of bed
just like me, don his ten league boots and start pedalling furiously on the
city's standby electricity generator. Otherwise there'd not be sufficient current
to boil the water in my kettle and keep Lincoln's lovely empty streets
illuminated at the same time.
It
would be hard work for him I knew, and sorry is Watt I shall tell him when I
see him in the newsagents in the morning, but I just had to have tea and while
I was up, and presumably awake, write this whale of toe down too before I
remembered it completely, if that makes sense.
I
heard him move in the bed while I was halfway down page two. The kettle had
boiled by then, which allowed poor Mr Watt to stop pedalling and go back to
bed.
Moments
later the apparition called Julian materialised in the room.
A
short, pointless conversation ensued, and when I say conversation I mean that
in the loosest of con"MsoNormal" style="">Ju:
"……alright?"
Me:
"Yeh!"
Ju:
"Tea?"
Me:
"Yeh!"
Ju:
"Wass time?"
Me:
"'Bout three!"
Ju:
"Godz knees!"
Me:
"Yeh!"
Perhaps
some smartarse playwright could have invented an entire three act tragedy from
those fourteen little words, perhaps some other clever sods at Oxford or
Cambridge might have compiled themselves a dictionary, I don't know, I wouldn't
put it past them. I mean, if you can write an epic poem about the shadow behind
the pendulum on a grandfather clock then you must be smartarsed and clever
enough to be able to write about anything.
What
I did notice straight away however was that Julian was standing in the kitchen
goosepimply naked; speaking of which, sometime about then Julian noticed the
same disturbingly familiar phenomenon in relation to me.
"Cold
innitt?" he suggested hopefully, to which I agreed most readily that yes, it
was. Due mainly to the fact that both the kitchen and bedroom windows were wide
open. Alright, it was wintertime and yes, Lincoln does stand on a large hill
directly in line with the north pole, but, as Julian says, the two of us do a
lot of breathing when we're together and if all the windows were closed, who
knows, we might suffocate.
Sweethearts,
do you know, Julian had shrivelled almost to insignificance by then and, dammit
all, when I sneaked a look past the belly, so had I. There was only one thing
for it after that – hypothermia, which was way beyond either of us's budgets,
so, rather than upset our respective bank managers, we both went back to bed.
I
made Julian cuddle me; stuck my frozen backside in his lap and made him caress
my nipples. No, he didn't do too bad a job of it. He laughed when my tummy
began to rumble as it worked out what to do with the unscheduled and hurriedly
swallowed cup of tea. His body is nice that way around, especially when he
draws up his knees. For me it is rather like sitting in an old fashioned
armchair, only lying on my side if you see what I mean. Lovely with his arms
around either side of me and his palms resting on my tits.
We
did sleep after a while, both of us, with Julian fantasising about Charles
Atlas, I'll bet and me, well you know Sweethearts, after Julian had teased that
much needed cum out of me I got in several hours of plain, simple dreaming.
