I felt so tired
that I just laid down and fall asleep within seconds. I felt the door opening,
and smelled her close and felt her eyes fixed on my hair, like in a dream. Her uneasiness,
her breathing. I turned my head and opened my eyes just a little bit. Wasn’t
sure whether I was really dreaming. She was there, and I smiled and closed my
eyes again. I really was very tired. She sat on the edge of the bed, looking at
me, grabbing her hands like trying to keep them under control. I curled up
around her body, my head on one side, my knees on the other, and she breathed
deeply and released her hands and relaxed…
I dreamt of her
caressing, kissing me and we making love close to the sea, sounds of waves and
all incorporated, and then woke again, maybe two or three minutes had elapsed
but it felt like much more and I fondled her back slightly… after all, we had just
had sex so it was like natural. Her eyes smiled.
I turned, facing
up, giving her space, just in case. She run a finger between my breasts and I
trembled. I felt her confidence then, her playful smile, her steady hands… and
it was I who trembled.
