There’s just something about going on a road trip. The music is playing, there are snacks and drinks in the car and you have nothing but time.

You stepped back toward me, “Could you please zip me up?”
“Yes, yes, I can. It would be my honor!” You look at me in the mirror with this quizzical look on your face, then start the smallest of grins.
“Oh, I like that.” You smile at me.

“Do you trust me?” I looked at him as I asked the question, waiting for the response.
“Of course,” he replied. “Wait, what are we talking about? I’m not going on that roller coaster again. Ever.”

The woman had been sitting on a bench in front of the painting for over half an hour. She would cock her head one way and the other from time to time, but mainly just sat perfectly still.

There’s nothing quite as wonderful as the feeling of sun on your bare skin. Mmm…
Continue reading “W is for Warmth”M is for May Prompt
Technically, I should make the May prompt about celebrations. Snake’s birthday is the 2nd and Mother’s Day is in the middle of the month, here at least. And while we will be celebrating his birthday in typical Charmer and Snake fashion, I think that I did celebrations not too long ago.

D is for Duck Pond
Come here.
He stopped and turned around. She had been right behind him just a minute ago. All he’d done is turn to watch a group of kids playing soccer in the distance. Where had she gone?
Continue reading “D is for Duck Pond”Sunrise, Sunset Bootcamp (1)
Sometimes, it’s great to re-inject some new energy, some new rules, and some new unknowns into a relationship. Sometimes, it’s time for a sort of “BootCamp” – where you need to be more strict on key items, more active in some.
As we climb into bed for the night, you roll over and I hear you whispering. I can’t make it out, not quite, so I ask you what you said. You repeat it, still whispering.

L is for Lingerie
Sometimes it’s fun to hide a little surprise under your clothes–makes for a much more fun date night.

He slid in behind her as she stood at the stove, making that sauce that was to die for. Wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close to him, slightly back from the stove, he smelled her hair first, then her neck.
“Mmmmmm, smells so gooooooood!”
Continue reading “Spices are the stuff of life”F is for Fiery Sun
Just pumping up the colors in this picture made the sun and my hair fiery… This was a wonderful trip!
Continue reading “F is for Fiery Sun”J is for Jelly
Her feet hurt and the noise in the enclosed aquarium was getting on her last nerve. They had been planning this date for a month so, of course, it would be the day when the entire place was filled with school field trips.
Continue reading “J is for Jelly”Thumbing … a ride
“Please? Can you come help me get home? The stupid car broke down, I got it towed to the shop, but will be walking home the rest of the way.”
“Of course, I’ll be there in a few….” I say, grabbing my things.

This is part 2 of A is for Appointment. You can read it here.
The commute to work had been a blur. He’d almost missed the first train because he was running late. His mind had been racing with thoughts of tonight and he ended up missing his stop and having to walk back to the office from the next one.
M is for Mexican Food
A good friend of mine keeps telling me that no one is ever sad eating Mexican food. I sure can’t prove her wrong because it’s one of our favorite things to eat.
Continue reading “M is for Mexican Food”Curious… as a cat
Curiosity in this thing we do… is dangerous. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made a passing comment about “did you see that thing on that blog?” – I don’t often mean it as more than a “huh, that’s different…” and yet quite often, I’ll get a message back that simply states…
“Get it please.”
Continue reading “Curious… as a cat”P is for Playing with Fire
Fire can be dangerous, but sometimes it is fun to play with it just a little bit. You never know what the reaction might be…
Continue reading “P is for Playing with Fire”L is for Lean on Me
There are those times in your life when the world flips on its head, spins you around and pretty much bitch slaps you. I know, I know. We’ve all been there.
Continue reading “L is for Lean on Me”S is for Spring
She had taken her easel and paints to the backyard. The sun hadn’t quite come up over the horizon, but it would soon. It was supposed to be a scorcher with a chance for thunderstorms.
Continue reading “S is for Spring”S is for Steps
One more set of stairs and she’d be done. Sweat was dripping in her eyes, but she was determined to make it to the top of the stadium.
Continue reading “S is for Steps”M is for Movie Time
Movie theatre with popcorn, glass of wine and Snake by my side. Mmm….

I’m breathing in these quick, short breaths now. My insides are twitching. My body is starting to shudder.

Nothing like some crossed straps to keep the eyes moving down…
