Chapter 5

Back in the studio a day later, Jay kisses me before he leaves the bed and I bask in the afterglow of making love. I am floating on waves of emotions which fill me with warmth and pleasure. I have no desire to leave the bed. Yet I roll on my side and think about making coffee. The sex goddess nippily goes to the coffeemaker and begins the brew. Jay is out of the shower and I hand him a steaming cup of black coffee. He smiles broadly and kisses my nose.

“You’re handy to have around.”

“Ya’ think?”

“Hmm, and I like all your cute freckles especially the one on your right breast.”

“That’s a beauty mark, sir,” I say with pretend indignation. I run into the bathroom and he starts to get dressed. When I return he pulls me close.

“I like the way you smell of vanilla and roses. I like the way you look in the hazy morning, still asleep, with your hair spilling over your pillow and your limbs so soft and embraceable. I like the way you respond to my kisses when you’re still not awake. And most of all, I love hearing you moan when we make love.” He begins nuzzling my ear and neck and I heave a gentle sigh and I wrap my arms around him.

“Jay, there’s only a week left, not even that, really; I leave early Sunday morning.” I pulled away from him to look at his face.

“What can I say?” He looks at me with a funny expression. “I can count.”

I can feel tears welling up so I turn, walk to the bed, and sit down. Jay follows me. “Kate, I’ve got to shave. We can talk about this tonight but no matter what we say it means good-bye.”

“So this is just a summer fling to you?” I say angrily.

“You know it isn’t…not for me or for you. But, Kate, can I ask you to give up your fancy life in Manhattan and live here? Or would you want me to leave my very humble studio and move to a place where I don’t belong? Let’s be real Kate. It won’t work. I’d do anything to keep you here if you would be happy, but I know in a few months you’d miss your old lifestyle.”

He goes to the bathroom and I crawl under the covers and weep. Before he leaves for work, he squats by the bed, brushes aside my hair and kisses my mouth. “I love you. Let’s make the most of these days, Kate,” he whispers.

“Yeah, I’ve got to see the glass half full, right?” I smile through my tears. “I promise I’ll be in a better mood tonight.” I squeeze his hand. “We could never marry anyway, I know that.”

“What? Who mentioned marriage?”

“I know you would only marry a Hopi so your children would be part of her clan.”

Jay stands and sits on the bed. “Katie, I was married to a Hopi. It didn’t work.” He plays with my hair.
