It has been a couple of mornings that when I wake up and turn around to snuggle you and whisper in your ear, “good morning beautiful..” all I get is an empty bed. Didn’t even feel you get up. Have you even slept?
I put on some shorts and a t-shirt, head towards the kitchen and see you spaced out, looking out the window with your head up in the clouds and a half eaten breakfast..
I try to have a conversation with you but your answers are tangy and short. Your eyes wandering around, locking in to certain messes and things that need to be cleaned. I’m guessing you have a lot on your plate at work and then get home and feel that it keeps piling on..
“Will it get better..?” is what I hear when you quietly look around. You get up from the table, take your plate to the sink, grab your keys and purse and make your way towards the door to go to work.
There might be a lot going on but you’re definitely not leaving this house sugar-free.
I step in as you’re going to cross my path, place my hands around your waist, turn you towards me and look into your eyes. It centers me, how I feel at home even when it feels I’m floating out in space with you..
I bring you in closer, continue to look into your eyes and say, “you know that you are..” You squint your eyes and give me a perplexed look like, “what are you talking about?”
You are sooo BeaUtiful!!
And lately I haven’t been able to tell you.. You’ve been racing around with everything you have going on. Stop for a moment, stand still, and breathe with me. Now answer me, when was the last time you looked in the mirror..? “aaahh.. as you can see, I’ve been a little busy avoiding it, especially when I’m a mess and look like this..” Exactly!!
So you haven’t truly looked in the mirror and see what I see.. because if you did you’ll be like wooOOOW - M M MMMMMMMMM..
I slap that ass, squeeze you tightly and give you one sweet tender kiss.. We look into each other’s eyes; I wink at you and say, “you totally are!! So deliciously BeaUtiful.” I want to see you tonight and talk about all those things eating you up inside.
For now, remember that you are and everything you have going on at work wouldn’t be on your plate if you weren’t capable of handling it. It can be a whole lot and seem impossible to finish it all.
Just know it’s okay to feel that way.. When you Feel like that, acknowledge what it is, slowly breathe in & out, and let it go. Walk in there with your head held high, your sexy self-confident stride and that irresistible shake that puts anyone else to rest.. And go do what you do best. Kick some ass!!
You crack half of an adorably sweet smile, lips curling at one end, other side straight so I wouldn’t soften you up. You give me a tender, loving kiss and say love you.. Love you too honey and off to work you go.
A little bit after lunch I send you a text..
“Hope you’re having a Fan-Tas-Tic day! Can’t wait to hold you tightly tonight.. I’ll take care of dinner. Just get your sexy fine ass home as soon as you can. besitos!”
You walk in the door, lights are off, candles lit everywhere, but I can sense your sniper look scoping the area. Checking off boxes from the checklist in your head..
things put away – check
walk around house and it looks clean – check
dishes – check
dinner aroma – check
laundry room empty? WHAAAAAAAT!?!
Clothes washed? – check
you walk inside our room, see everything is folded aaand put away.. check-check
OOOH My GOD!! I’m in heeeaven..
I know you bypassed the trail of treasures and are now skipping around the house happily singing not believing this can aaall be true! You turn towards the front door and see a sheet of paper hanging by the light switch.
“you shouldn’t have to come home to
cook, clean and get things straighten out for us, me
you should take off your shoes and unwind
give me a hug so I can hold you tight
tell me about your day and get it off your mind
cover each other with kisses
because that’s how sweet we do our life..
we are a team and I have your back
but only a few nights a week
it was the only thing that would rhyme
and perhaps make you joyfully weep..
now follow the trail and look out for treasures
take your time and don’t over indulge
because the best part is still to come
enjoy and have fun..”
You look around and see a few blue petals guiding you towards the living room until they stop. You survey the area, paintings, sofa, table, glassware, ornaments and your eyes lock to a piece in the middle of it all.
It’s a collage of photos of us at a snorkeling trip to a pristine island with white sand and crystal clear turquoise water where we got the opportunity to swim with turtles. Remembering the time we were Fun & Adventurous; when we took the time to plan a vacation with intention..
You smile, taking all the photos in and as you go place the collage back, you spot a chocolate kiss and start laughing.
Then, you turn and see yellowish pink petals guiding you to the hallway that leads to the rooms. Both sides have family photos, events and things picked up from trips. I like that you take your time looking at everything individually and reliving those amazing moments in our life. You walk back and forth, taking everything in as a whole and then stop.
You give a slight grin as in “you have to be kidding me..” and reach out to grab a photo of us both bright smiles, acting goofy & silly while snuggling on the floor; our first official day as us.
And you find one key under the photo.
One lock, one key is all that we want and need!
Then I hear, “where’s my kiss..?” How do you know you chose the right one..? I respond back. “Honey, because I’m still here with one key playing these games with you..!”
There wasn’t one; no space between wall & frame, putting it on top would have given it away. You look towards the bedroom and see white and red petals leading you inside. You spot the bed nicely made, nightstands, closet and shoes. You look over to the TV and the table underneath. Right in the middle, a photo of us locked in a Big bear hug and a passionate kiss; while dangling from a bridge held by our feet, in between two mountains with a river below us.
I took you bungee jumping. And after being tied up, I looked into your eyes and as I began to ask you.. “Would you..”
You Big bear hugged me before I could finish, pushed us off the platform and held me tight AAAAAAAAAll the way down..
Wasn’t sure if we were going to bounce back up or just splash into the river. No, No.. We bounced up smiling and howlin’!! Once we stopped bouncing and were left dangling for a moment, you held me closer than what we already were and said Yes!! with one deliciously passionate kiss.. ; *********.. This time I left you 2 kisses..
You open the door to the bathroom and WOOAAOOOOW Madam.. you look Stunning!!
And I slightly bow down, “I’ll be your personal masseur this evening. I hear you have been pretty naughty lately.. My apologies, I meant knotty, knotti – naughty, however you pronounce those words. You know it’s hard for me to pronounce the slight difference between those words.” ; p.. Let’s continue..
“Tonight, we have carefully crafted a therapeutic concoction of a few drops of peppermint and lavender oil to induce a calming, relaxing and soothing sensation for your mind, body, and soul. I added some drops of cinnamon bark to warm up your skin and soothe those aching muscles.”
“And the foundational ingredient Epsom salt, which brings everything together. It will help release the stored tension inside you and restore the peace, calmness, and balance that you have been missing.”
“The last piece of this therapeutic concoction is heating the water to a temperature of 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Ideal to relax you mentally, emotionally, and physically, as well as recharge your immune system for optimal health and performance..” = )
Your face went from stunned and confused to an intrigued look.. So I said, “you thought I would be naked and ready to go..! No, no, no. The best is yet to come.. Nautty, Nautty!! Madam, I’m a professional..!”
“You choose how you want to dip in. I recommend that the more skin I can caress, the greater the benefits you’ll receive from the massage you’ll be getting from me.”
The way you undress.. a slow and subtle seduction where I’m not supposed to know that it is purposely done. You untie your tightly tied bun and shake your head, letting your hair flow and loose. You look straight into my eyes as your index finger lightly caresses your collarbone and down the middle of your chest to the 1st button in our way..
You fiddle with it for a moment and then use your thumb and index finger to take it off. Your blouse opens up a little and reveals more of your upper chest and a chocolate chip that I love so much.. right above your left breast in between your sternum and your heart. You give your mischievous smile because you know it, that you can be deliciously devilish..!
Then, you continue to lightly caress the additional skin you just revealed..
Moving slooowly and calmly, up & down, between your breasts and outlining the inner side of your bra..
Aaand quickly unbutton #2 for that flash attention!!
You caress over your breasts, collarbones and swerve down the middle of your chest with one fingertip while you gingerly bite your lower lip as you play with button #3..
You look into my eyes again, extend your hand with one finger pointing out and reach out to me, “I believe I require your assistance.. It feels like this button is stuck, it’s behaving a little knotti..”
I softly slide the bottom of my finger under yours, hold your hand and lightly caress down your palm and forearm with my fingertips as I take a step towards you and get closer by your side.
I softly place my left hand around your waist and hover over your right shoulder with my face, staying close to your cheek and neck. Then press my chest lightly against your upper back and wrap my arms around yours as my hands slide from your waist along your dinner rolls.. M M MMMMMMMMM.. It seems like we found our dessert.. ; p.. ; **..
I slide a finger inside the gap between the buttons and caress your rolls while the other hand caresses your abs over your blouse.
Then I whisper in your ear,
“which one is the knotti button..?”
You lean back on me and allow more of you to press against me as you caress with your hand and fingertips my upper forearm then my hand. Intertwine your fingers with mine and guide our hand towards button #3..
You grab my other hand and do the same.. Then leave me with your button while you caress your hair behind your ears and move down to your neck.
You tilt your head closer to mine like we are about to kiss, slide your fingers up your hair, lift it up, and allow me to hover lightly across your neck, with my lips, as you let your hair fall over my face..
I undo buttons 3 & 4 and pull the rest of your blouse out from being tucked inside your executive work pants. I open my hands, fingers spread, and lightly caress from your waist to your belly button, move a hands width up, right under your breasts and softly half circle out..
Then half circle back in underneath them, following the outline of your bra, middle of your chest and out under your collarbones with my fingertips. Caress your shoulders and softly move down your arm, as I finish sliding your blouse off..
I place my hands around your waist, thumbs on your lower back and gently caress up & down.. Then spread more of my palms over your lower back and the fingertip of my thumbs just outside your spine.
Slooowly move up while gently pressuring in a circular motion the muscles next to your spine. Get between your shoulder blades and above them before sliding my fingers over your shoulders, palms resting on them and thumbs over your shoulder blades.
Then, gently press in a circular motion up & down as my thumbs do the same around your upper back. Continue that a few more times before sliding my hands and fingertips down your arms, hold your hands, and back up again to massage gently your shoulders and upper back.
Afterward, I softly slide my fingertips down your spine until I reach your lower back and slide up & down again.
I get a hold of your pants back zipper and leisurely unzip them..
Softly slide my fingers over your panties top seam, around your waist and over your hip bones to your lower abs. Caress back to your waist, fold the top of your pants with my thumbs and casually pull them down with my palms, caressing your thighs and the inside of them with my fingertips..
I squat down behind you as my hands lead the way and you feel me softly and hotly breathing over your spine as I make my way south..
We take your pants off.
I get a hold of your ankles and slightly caress my way up your legs, calves, hamstring and inner thighs..
I see you are wearing halfway cheeky panties that make me want to liiightly caress your underbutt crease
so I do..
and tenderly squeeeeze those butt cheeks that you left out there for me.. Fucking Delicious!!
You turn around and caress my head & face while I appreciate the beauty you are allowing me to see.. It drives me crrraazy when I see your lips wrapped up this way.. You are Truly Stunning!!
I move in as if I am about to kiss you, hotly & softly breathe over your panties & lips and roll my rrrrrrrr rrrrrr’s..
Before slooowly doing a squat and moving up, with a light caress, over your thighs, inner thighs, hip bones, lower abs, around your belly button, abs, trace your ribs, and underneath/over your succulent breasts to your collarbones and shoulders.. Slide down your arms to your hands, gently squeeze and intertwine our fingers.
I look into your eyes and you playfully push me back and tell me..
“It’s time for you to dip in.. I want what you promised señor..!” “My pleasure Madam..”
I turn to take a step inside the bathtub so I can sit down and get cozy, be prepared for when you come in and I feel my shirt being pulled back, stopping me from getting in..
“No, no, no señorito! You can keep your shorts on so you don’t try any funny business..”
You pull me closer to you and lightly caress my hip bones and waist. Then sensually scratch, with the tip of your nails, up my back and arms as you slowly take off my shirt.. You let it drop from the top, turn me around and slap my ass..
“Nooow you can get inside!”
So I sit down and lie back on the left side of the bathtub. You turn off the lights so the candles could shine and approach the bathtub..
I sit up and hold one of your hands as you step in and move closer to the opposite side. I lean back and watch how you slightly tilt your hips back as you bend down, making your luscious ass & underbutt crease even more irresistible than what they already are..
You continue to make your way down and as your butt cheeks begin to touch the warm water, you tilt to the side, catching my eyes, with the corner of our eye and finish turning towards me to sit down..
You sink down slooowly until fully submerged, hold down a few seconds under water and spring out with a smile; whip your hair side to side a few times, grab the sides of the tub and pounce closer to me.. Leaning in so close that our lips almost, pero que almost kissed..
You look into my eyes, softly “bump” into my nose with yours and begin moving back, stretching your body out.. Toes and feet towards me, back facing down, and head on the opposite side.
You continue to look into my eyes like if you were purposefully testing to see if I’m going to keep eye contact as you float up and spread your legs.. Slightly revealing how your panties tightly wrap and mark your exquisite lips and just a little behind your bra loose and floating away.. Areolas and nipples taking a peek. mmmMMMMMM.. #sensually delicious!!
You dip your face down just up to your eyes because I know you’re laughing inside..! Torturess!!
I grab each one of your feet, fingers on the top side and thumbs on the sole. I gently squeeze them and lightly apply pressure in a circular motion up & down the arch of your feet..
Move up & up & up, little by little in a circular motion.. Then down.. and circle in & out..
All this done slowly making sure that the entire sole gets touched, squeezed and rubbed..
After that, I slide the fingerprint part of my thumbs, with some pressure, up & down your soles. Moving to each side, then press my knuckles on the arch and curl them down & up, down & up several times.. And repeat.
Then a small circular motion massage on your arches, bottom & top. Slide with pressure up & down your entire foot and finish with knuckles gently curling down & up each arch..
It got to the point that your eyes were closed and head tilted back.. Body floating and in a serene state of mind.. I’ll take that as – YEEES!! continue pleeease..!
After doing that sequence several times, I slide my fingertips up your legs to your knees and down your calves, up your calves and down your leg.. I wrap your legs with my hands and gently squeeze them, front & back, as I move up & down your legs and calves..
Releasing that tension from standing, walking and you know those lovely heels. Then I press my fingertips down and slide them up & down around your legs massaging with slight pressure. Do that several times then, gently squeeze your legs. Alternate and repeat..
Let yourself unwind, breathe and melt everything inside that doesn’t belong.. As I see you more relaxed and calmly breathing, I move down, massaging the soles of your feet and get to the tips.
Take each toe and apply gentle pressure in a circular motion, up & down, then wiggle it a little and more massage in a circular motion. Stretch out those that tend to curl up and get the full length of each toe. Up & down, up & down..
At one point I get caught up in finding and loosening up every knotti knot I could find that I wasn’t aware you had returned from your voyage and, with both hands, playfully splash water at me.
You laugh thinking that was funny so I grab your legs then pull you closer and sink you.. A few bubbles come out as you make your way from underwater, then splash out. Whipping your hair again and giggling, completely “stressed out!”
“Haven’t seen you like this in a while..” “Tell me about it. I’ve really missed how I normally am and when we do things like this together.” “It feels like we don’t have that much time for one another anymore.” “I agree”, I responded.
“I noticed that today when I woke up and turned to snuggle you and whisper, good morning BeaUtiful.. It was another day that I’ve missed your warm body next to me..
I looove that morning snuggle before getting up.
And when I saw your half eaten breakfast, head somewhere else, wired up, and scoping the kitchen & house around.. It felt like we could use a bubble bath and unwind, be in each other’s presence..”
You lean in, give me a kiss and sit down in front of me, back lying on my chest. I wrap my arms around you and give you sweet tender kisses around your neck..
Then I whisper in your ear, “I’m sorry for not helping around the house more often and be there for you. I get caught up in my world and fail to see that you have one going on as well. I saw the sniper look this morning before you left, looking at messes and things that needed to be cleaned up.”
I hug you and thank you for the subtle reminder..
Then, you begin to open up.. “Thanks, I appreciate that. It helps me out when I get home because it’s fewer things I have to worry about and take care of. Enough at work to deal with, to come home for more.. It has become too exhausting.”
“I could see that and why I wanted more of US and you time.. So what’s going on at work?” I replied.
“Projects keep piling up.. People have deadlines and if they can’t find a solution, it’s sort of thrown at me ‘to figure it out..’ At first it was fun, coming up with different ways to go about something and interact with other departments and see their take. It gives you a different perspective and point of view. A new way to see and look at things..”
“The problem was when too much work got thrown at me. Now it’s just stressful and no longer fun! Every project has a deadline and I Feel I have a ticking time bomb wanting to go off every second. I have to juggle too many things. That’s why lately you’ve seen me lost in the clouds, too much on my mind..”
“The more they add, the less I feel I’m being appreciated. Like they don’t like me and just want to see me drown in all this work. You do not know the times I just wanted to SCREEEEAM!!”
As soon as I heard that, I fully wrap you up with my legs and arms, gently squeeze you, give you a sweet kiss on the cheek, and whisper in your ear, “you’re home.. you’re safe..” And give you another sweet kiss.. ; ***.. as I hold you tight.
“It’s okay to Feel that way and sometimes let that scream out if you have to.. Especially when you’re being overworked! There’s so much a person can take. And it looks like you have reached, weeell maybe surpassed that level..” ; p..
We both laugh and snuggle closer together..
“Ok, let me ask you this..
Looking at it from the outside, as a third party looking for a solution, what are your thoughts and what would you do differently or better?
How would you change things around having the power to do so? How would you solve this project? Knowing what you’re capable of doing and the tools at your disposal..?”
“Heeeey, that’s one, two, three, four questions perfectly wrapped up into one.. I thought you were supposed to relaaaaax me.. Not fill up my head with more thoughts..”
I squeeze you tightly and give you a sweet kiss on your neck and move down your shoulder..
“I believe you’ll find the answers you are looking for asking yourself questions aiming for solutions instead of the ones that drown you in the ‘why me’ scenario.. I feel all these projects have landed on you because you can get them done. You find ways others haven’t, you know how to add different perspectives and new ways of looking at things, and have Fun with the process of putting things together.”
“Perhaps having your own department, a team, and schedules to organize projects can help you out. You probably have created a new position/opportunity to grow and expand, make valuable use of your abilities and skills. Is there anyone else that can do what you do..?” “Not really..”, you respond.
“One day I took the initiative to help someone out and little by little, projects started showing up at my desk.. What was I supposed to do?”
“It was exciting, so I kept going. Now, it’s just too much..”
“Ok, you have a foundation of what needs to get done and how to do it.. What can you do to lighten the load on yourself and still take in the work, expand?” I replied.
“Have Fun figuring out your puzzle.. It’s happening to you because you excel at these things! Trust yourself and what you do because it looks like everyone else does.”
I hug you tightly one more time, give you a kiss before sliding out from behind you and step out of the tub.
You look at me like whaaaaaaaat?!?
“I told you this was meant so we could have time for us and you. That was the US part. Now comes the you time. You have better, more productive, and positive thoughts in your head while being and feeling relaxed..”
“Enjoy it and make good use of it. Replenish your energy and get your mind, yourself to where you want to be..”
“But, but.. where’s my happy ending..?” “uummmm.. when you’re finished here, come snuggle with me and you’ll see how happy you’ll be..!” BuaHaHaHaHaaaaaaaa.. = )
