_____"I live four red lights away."
_____"Do you have herbal tea?"
_____"Mmmhmmm. I'm sure we'll find something to satisfy you."
_____Carla needs to stop at a gas station, so you draw a map on the back of a napkin. The waitress is getting impatient; she's cleaned every table accept yours. Hoping to compensate for the inconvenience, you leave an over generous tip.
_____Getting home first gives you a chance to set the atmosphere. After straightening out the bedroom (she doesn't need to see your collection of Girlztown videos just yet), you smudge it and the livingroom with incense. Just as you fill the kettle and put it on the stove, the doorbell rings. "Hey, come on in. Make yourself comfortable."
_____Though you step back to let her pass, Carla presses herself into you and kisses the sensitive spot just under your left ear. "I think I will do just that," she says as she makes her way into the livingroom. Carla winces as she sits on the sofa.
_____"What's wrong?"
_____"My shoulders are a little tense."
_____"Here, let me take care of that." Going behind the sofa, you tentatively touch her shoulders. Starting with a gentle rub, you gradually increase the pressure until Carla begins to groan. "I'm not being to rough, am I?"
_____"No, don't ease up. It hurts, but in a good way."
_____The whistling kettle stops your message therapy. "Be right back."
_____"Do you need any help?"
_____"Thanks, but my tiny kitchen is built for one." Pulling out all of the stops, you decide to use the silver service set. Thanks to an ex, you had an assortment of herbal teas. You lay them out on the tray with milk and lemon cookies. "I'm not sure if you wanted sugar or honey so I've got a little of both."
_____As you put the tray on the coffee table, a light rumbling sound gets your attention. Shoes kicked off and laid back, Carla has made herself so comfortable that she has fallen asleep. Sipping on your chamomile, you watch her sleep. The gentle rise and fall of her breast is almost hypnotic. You imagine what it would be like to wake up in the morning to Carla's kisses. Feeling drowsy yourself, you tuck Carla under a blanket and head for bed.
_____You may not have gotten what you were originally looking for, but you aren't upset. This could be the start of something beautiful.
