The Long Day (Short Story )

Okay I put this in here and the next one as well before the hackers lost most of my entry’s so here I will post it again

THE LONG DAY

It’s been a long day. The kids have worn me out, the day has dragged like no other. But I know I’ll be rewarded for a day such as this. I’ll be rewarded by love and affection like no other I’ve known. The dishes are done, dinner has come and gone. The children have been bathed and put down to sleep for the night. Such angels that sleep so soundly.

I’ve taken a few moments to myself. A few much needed pampering moments to relieve the stress of the day.

I pour a nice hot bath with lavender and primrose oil. Light a few candles and turn out the light. As my body relaxes in the warmth of the scented water I begin to drift off into my own imagination. I hear sounds downstairs. Sounds that I’ve longed to hear all day, the sound of keys in the front door. You’re home.

It’s been a long day for you as well. You’re tired. You’re in need of some relaxing yourself. You listen to the sounds of the house, and only hear the faint music playing from the bathroom upstairs. A smile comes across your lips.

You make your way up the stairs slowly, anticipating what will be waiting there for you. Knowing that after a long days work the much needed time for us will soothe what ever it is that ails you. Alone time. As you approach the top of the stairs you notice the dimness of the lights. You begin to undress before coming to join me in the tub. You can smell the slight scent of the hot water. Your body already begins to relax. The low lighting, the woman in the tub waiting for you, the flicker of the candles. All these things work their magic on your body and you begin to feel the stir of passion deep inside you.

I’m laying back in the tub, my eyes closed. I can hear you moving around. I’m waiting for you. I can’t wait to feel your body close to my own. My body begins to react in its own way knowing that you’ll be with me within moments.

Finally, you’re standing above me beside the bathtub. Wearing nothing but a smile. With eyes that I could get lost in for hours. I hold my hand out to you and invite you into the tub along with me. You slip into the water. Feeling it’s warmth surround you. You’re sitting in front of me. I cup the water in my hands and bring it up over your back, warming your skin from the chill in the air. Your head falls back and leans on my shoulder. Mmmmm, I’ve missed you so much today. I love to feel the heat of your body against mine. Your back against my chest. As your hands run along my legs.

I bring my hands around to the front of you. Wetting your skin with the water from the sea sponge. Letting it drip down your chest. I whisper sweet words of love into your ear. Yet nothing more is spoken between us. Nothing of the hard day we’ve both had. This is a time of love instead.

I put my hands on your shoulders to sit you back up. I place the water filled sponge against your skin and squeeze it across your back. Lathering up my hands with soap I begin to work on your tired sore muscles. Still not a word is said between us. Just things that don’t need to be said. Love is unmistakable. As I rinse the soap from your skin, you turn around. I can see the love in your eyes. I can see the emotions there at the surface. Yet still you say nothing. Its all in your eyes. Words aren’t needed at a time like this.

My head tilts slightly as I look into your eyes. You know what it is that I want. We both know what it is that the other needs.

We step out of the tub. Take a towel, yet not bothering to dry ourselves. You take my hand and lead me to our bed. You begin to sit down on the bed and pull me to lay on top of you. Finally, a kiss. I’ve longed for this kiss all day. I’ve longed to have these arms around me all day. I’ve longed to feel the heat of your skin against mine. Still nothing is said. There is no need. It’s a time for love instead of words.

You run your fingers over my bare skin as I look deep into your eyes. Losing myself in the love that is so unmistakable yet unspoken.

My eyes plead with yours. Make love to me. Take me to that place that only you and I know. That place that exists for only you I. No children, no friends, no phone. Nothing but you and I. Lost in our own world of each other. A much needed place of togetherness after a long day such as this. There’s no need to ask with words. You can read me, you want the same things I do. To feel our bodies become one. Without knowing where one begins and the other ends. We make love without saying a word. Until we succumb to the passion and fulfill the desire for each other.

Finally words are spoken. You look into my eyes which now glow with passion spent. You run your finger along my jaw. Down my neck. Through the valley between my breasts. Along my ribs. Across the side of my breast. Back up to my neck and chin. You turn my face toward yours. Kiss me deep and pull back to look once more into my eyes. “I love you angel” are the words I hear. Words I’ve longed to hear all day.

As we lay lost in each others arms the hours of the night drift by without notice. And we wake up still wrapped in each other. It’s time to start another day.
