“Relax and enjoy Babe. It’s not quite 5 AM yet. I’ve got this.”
I registered these words as I felt movement around me and over me. “This feels like a rendition of, ‘Rise and grind, I’ll sleep when I’m dead,’ and you’ve got no complaint from me for performing it,” I said sleepily.
Julia giggled as she moved gently over me saying, “I didn’t think you’d mind. You feel great Babe. I think you’ve gotten bigger down there, too. Yeah… I’m thinking you’re about eight inches now instead of seven. It’s definitely thicker. But…”
She picked up pace a little before breathing, “Even if you were only three inches, I’d still want you. There’s no one like you anywhere. Not even close. And that dream this morning… God I’m lucky.”
Julia then added, “Another healing dream. Thanks.” She then leaned down and kissed me deeply for a long while, still moving her hips.
A few minutes later, she lay slightly trembling in my arms. “That was wonderful she breathed. Thank you.”
“Thank you,” I replied laughing warmly. “You woke me up to bliss, remember?”
Julia laughed and said, “True. But… Well… How do I say…” Julia’s voice trailed off and she kissed me again saying, “I really do love you. All of you.”
I gave her a gentle squeeze and said, “And that means the world to me. You will never ever know how much.” I then kissed her back before letting her head gently fall against my chest as she dozed for a few minutes.
When 5 AM rolled around about ten minutes later, I gently ran my fingers through Julia’s hair saying, “A new dawn awaits, Love. Time to own your morning and elevate your life.”
“What about elevating my husband. Can’t I do that instead?” Julia said teasingly.
I laughed saying, “Um… You just did that. And… Uh… You can have more of that later if you like, too. But right now…”
Julia kissed me deeply before suddenly springing out of bed saying, “Get up you and give me twenty, right now. Let’s go. Move it Mr. Schnabel.”
So… I did give her twenty, taking care to make sure I did them right in front of her so I was close enough to alternate kisses on the tops of her feet with every downward movement of each pushup I performed. When I stood, I said, “I’m so glad you keep your toes clean,” and we both burst into loud raucous laughter.
After doing the rest of our exercises together and talking about picking up some spin bikes to help the morning process along, we each headed off to our respective studies to do some journaling. “No email young lady!” I called. And Julia’s laughing reply floated through the house as she called back, “Yes Dad!”
We did join together to read the 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma for a little while longer than we’d normally have but… Julia was really getting into it, “Actually taking notes.”
