Oct. 23rd, 2006 11:00 amSometimes when he looks at Beth he gets all shy, like he hasn't been sleeping with her for two years. Like he's never been graced by her presence before. Like he's never even dated a woman before and he doesn't know what to do, what to say. And honestly, they've spent so much time in this room since Beth Junior was born, it seems like having a few hours to themselves should lead them to... oh, some sort of reckless adolescent behavior like going out drinking, or vandalizing mailboxes. The kind of shit he never really did because it just didn't seem like that much fun and now... shit, it seems like a waste of precious time.
For the first time since the baby came along -- thanks to Elaine's insistence they take advantage of her babysitting skills -- they're alone together.
It feels like a hell of a lot longer than the calendar says, but despite that, the room feels a little emptier without Junior. He'd put money on the fact they can fill it, just the two of them.
Letting out a breath with an audible sigh, he smiles at his woman. His woman. Like he owns her or something -- he doesn't -- but they are kind of tied to each other, heart to heart. Reaching forward, he folds her into his arms, presses a kiss to the side of her face, rubs her back.
"Hey." As if he's just noticed it, he looks down at the lack of space between them. "We fit together." His hands stray automatically to her hips and he tugs her forward just a little bit.
His eyes are all soft burning affection and this time when he leans forward to kiss her again, it's not on the cheek. No, he goes right for her mouth because that's where his lips feel right at home. One kiss, two kisses, three kisses: it's not the only way to do things but it's his favorite way. There's magic in her body; there's magic in the way she makes him feel.
"Love you, Beth."
Just in case there was any doubt.
