I actually had a peaceful dreamless sleep last night. When I awoke, I felt Julia gently untangling herself from me and the sheets. When she saw my eyes open, she kissed me very long and tenderly saying, “You’ve got time. Just relax.”
Next thing I know I’m smelling coffee in the kitchen and… Bacon and eggs? Really? Suddenly I found I just didn’t want to stay in bed alone any longer.
I walked into the kitchen to the sound of soft laughter. “You didn’t have to get up,” she said. She put her arms around me and began rubbing her breasts up against me as she spoke saying, “It won’t be ready for at least another ten minutes. Go back and lay down and I’ll bring it in and join you.”
I gave her a squeeze and a long deep kiss before smiling at her appreciatively. Then I walked back into the bedroom. When things were ready, she came in with a tray and placed it over my lap as I sat in bed leaning up against some pillows supported by the headboard.
“You do spoil me woman,” I said smiling. Julia replied, “And I love doing it.”
Julia then zipped out the door, coming back again with her own tray and hopped on the bed beside me. She had made bacon egg and cheese sandwiches on big round rolls and even hashbrowns. And the coffee… “My lady rocked it!”
Afterword we took a long shower together before heading off to our offices. She was meeting a few clients at her office building, and I needed to deal with a few matters of a technical nature for my own clients having to do with the Windows 11 OS.
Nothing major. I just needed to call some folks to let them know I’d be logged into their network and which machines I’d be working on. Remote Desktop is a beautiful thing.
I fixed everyone up in record time and did some reading just for fun. Then I stretched out and did a meditation, focusing on a thumb drive containing journal files before slipping off into a dream about my doorbell not working properly.
I could hear a strange buzzing sound coming from the unit on the wall and remember walking up to it and giving it a light slap to get it working again. The dream ended there, and I don’t know who was at the door.
My suspicion is that the dream was there to let me know that someone might be reaching out to me in the near future. I just don’t know who. I did have the urge to walk outside and ring the doorbell to check that it was in fact still working; Julia pulling in the driveway as I did so.
When she asked why I was standing outside pushing the doorbell button on an empty house I told her about the dream. She gave me a huge hug and said, “It makes sense. It’s cold out here. Let’s go back inside.”
She then asked me if I would be ok with just ordering in. Sensing her tiredness, I agreed So we did.
After we eight in the living room she stretched out on the couch with me and promptly fell asleep. It was around 8:00 PM when she awoke again, and we just sat talking for a while.
She thought that buying a small sailboat before summer was a good idea. We agreed that it was a bit late in the season to be looking for a new one that could be towed. But… We both agreed that the one tun Dodge Ram I am currently leasing would be more than up to the job of pulling whatever size boat we opted for.
Julia used to be involved with all things horses at one time and is more than competent driving large vehicles. So, even if we can’t find a place with a slip available this year… As long as the boat is on a trailer, “We’re good to go.”
Julia has only ever been out sailing with me once or twice and loved it. She said, “You’ll have to teach me a few things,” as she took my hand and began leading me back to the bedroom with her. “But” she said, “You’re a good teacher so I’m sure I’ll learn the basics in no time.”
She then stretched and took off her clothes saying, “I’m just so tired tonight babe. I’m sorry.” I could tell that she was silently crying and didn’t need her to explain a thing. Some clients share things that would make any caring loving person’s heart just break. And some of the things she hears… Well…
I gave her a minute, waiting to sense her body language or something that would help me know how best to help her. And… the sense finally did come.
I placed one hand lightly on her shoulder as I reached passed her and pulled back the bedding with the other. As I lifted her clear off her feet and gently set her naked body down on the bed I very softly said, “I think it’s safe to say that a shower would be a health hazard for you right now me lady.” She laughed through her tears and just hung on to me for a long while as I sat with her, me being on the edge of the bed, before she finally drifted off.
Somehow, I’ve got a feeling she might have trouble sleeping tonight. But if that is the case… Well… “That’s what I’m here for.”
