Terminally in Love

Cady

Present day . . .

I OPENED MY EYES AND saw dark-blue sheets.

I rolled to my back and looked to the other side of the bed to see it mussed, the pillow depressed, but the space was empty.

I sat up holding the covers to my chest and looked around, realizing there was sunlight coming around the closed drapes in Coert’s bedroom.

I’d slept late.

Not a surprise since I’d had little sleep the night before, and when Coert took me back up to his room to ravage me, he’d finally gotten to a point where he could take his time.

This he did.

We did.

So when I’d conked out naked in his arms after, I’d conked out.

On that thought, I heard a faraway whistle.

I threw the covers aside and saw Coert’s sweater on the floor.

Way back when, I wouldn’t hesitate to pull on one of Coert’s tees or shirts and Coert didn’t hesitate to share he didn’t care. He liked it. To the point sometimes he’d pick up his own shirt and hand it to me when we were done doing the things we’d been doing and I needed something to put on.

So right then, I grabbed that sweater, tugged it over my head, pushed my hands through the arms and moved to the back of the room.

I pulled the curtains aside and saw Coert outside with another sweater on, jeans, a scarf wrapped around his throat, snow boots on his feet, throwing a stick to Midnight, who was bounding through the high snow to grab it.

She got it and brought it back to him.

I’d never played fetch with her.

I didn’t even know she knew how to play fetch.

But I was arrested by the beauty of her jumping through the snow, this enthusiastic and graceful, the thick bed of soft flakes taking away the lasting results of a terrible injury and giving her freedom to move again.

Not to mention I was arrested by the vision of Coert out in the snow in the morning playing with my dog.

I made the decision to play fetch with Midnight every morning, hopefully doing this with Coert, before I moved to my bag that Coert had brought up and thrown on his chair. I got out the fresh pair of panties and my bathroom stuff and headed to his bathroom to take care of business.

When I was done, I went back to the bag, pulled on some socks, and still in his sweater, I moved out of his room, through his house, taking it in in the light.

He’d been there awhile, I saw. He’d taken that time to make every inch of it his, I saw that too. It was all very masculine but it was homey and comfortable.

I could live there, happily. With her room like it was and the rest with her dad all around, Janie undoubtedly already lived there happily when she was with her father.

Making my way to the kitchen (and coffee and hopefully Coert since the back door led from the laundry room), it made me feel good he had this.
