Do you know what it is like to have the perfect day & perfect kiss, the come to find out that was the last time you will really kiss that person for life??
I began to stir from, eyes fluttering open to find the deep blue eyes of the one I love watching me. We exchanged pet names as we moved closer, he was a good bit taller & my head fit perfectly under his chin. With a kiss on the forehead at my hair, came the words I think it's going to rain today. Lately, we had been praying for rain because it meant we could be together (it was my slow time of year, but he had won a good many new contracts & too many new crews to supervise) so rainy days were our time. I snuggled in and mumbled let me check my desk & see when I can get away, love. We avoided getting out of bed until the latest we could.
By the 10 am the bottom had dropped out & the phone rang, just by the first sound of the voice, I was smiling, "meet me in Canton" he said. Canton was his house in the country, mine was the city-so we lived between them. By the time, I arrived there was just a light rain on the tin roof, the sound heavenly.
Unfortunately today would not be one filled private time for lovers, we had things to do, but now could take our time and steal glances, kisses, touches, and snuggles while doing so. We were packing our stuff & his girls for an important event.
I had planned to be gone by 5 and back at my house, but the day lazed on and grew harder to part (he & the girls were staying at his mother's that night). The lights across the front of the house, meant the inevitable as we were being playful in the kitchen. His ex-wife was bringing the girls back...the exchange was brief, the girls thrilled to be home with us. We spent a bit playing & lazing with the girls avoiding...the inevitable
It was a sweet slow kiss at first, growing deeper, hungrier, & more urgent-we had never kissed like this in front of the girls before with this aching desire & passion, the spell began to weaken as I felt those chubby 2 year old arms wrap around my leg, we pulled our lips apart breathless eyes locked for a moment; not taking his touch from me as I scooped to pick up sweet baby girl. She & I snuggled into those arms as he kissed my forehead and hair; then we were joined by big sister, and the four of us stood snuggled tight forgetting the outside world, under that tin roof in the rain; the family we hoped we were soon to become...
