"Try this one, then. Let's see if it makes any difference which one we put with her." The voice was female although the speaker remained unseen. Hands spread across the keyboard as keys were struck. In the room below, seen dimly through the shadowed glass, a man appeared upon the left side of the bed. He slept beside the woman as if unaware of her presence.
More keys were tapped and she awakened slowly, turning in the bed until she saw the man. Eyes abruptly opened, she rose from the bed and stood, trembling. Now fully wakened himself, the man smiled and held a hand out to her.
"Come back to bed. I'm sure we can think of something to do until it's time to get up."
Head shaking, she left the room.
"Is she not interested, or is it that this is the wrong person? Shall we replay the scene?"
"I'll set it up."
Fingers tapped swiftly and once again the woman rested quietly in the bed. A different man lay tangled in the blankets beside her. Turning in her sleep, her hand reached out to rest upon his chest and she moved closer to his warmth. Her eyes opened slowly as her fingers moved over his skin and she smiled softly as she saw him.
In only moments she was in his arms and again the voice rang out. "Shut it down."
And as the room grew dimmer she smiled softly in her sleep. |

458 Views | It's been hectic. It should be more hectic, but I'm finding myself....less interested in my work than I should be. That's a bad thing. I missed three days of work last week because I was ill....and let's see...a holiday Monday...and I'll take Friday off and work Sunday instead for month-end....sounds like a life of leisure...but it isn't...truly. Still....somehow...I find myself WANTING to be at home.
I love being at the house these days. Yes...there are still mountains of work to do...and prolly always will be....and I'm enjoying it. I haven't played my video game in more than a week....I'm rarely on the computer...I am watching more television...but it's nearly all from the DIY Network...and I really love the show Wasted Spaces....I get lots of cool ideas from that show.
I went to dinner last night with my boss and two corporate execs from Calgary. It was an amazingly relaxed evening. One of the ladies and I hit it off immediately and were chatting away like best friends within minutes. The other was more reserved...but only marginally. I loved the conversations about American politics...the company...just our differences and similarities in outlook.
Tonight was a Turnaround dinner. I'm about tired of eating restaurant food...although I loved the Thai food yesterday....of course...I haven't been making any kind of real meals for myself either. I have to work on that. I seem to stay too busy to worry about it until my blood sugar drops and I'm getting light-headed...ok...more light-headed than usual.
I missed a couple of calls tonight...I'll return them this weekend....sorry. I did, however...speak with Kelly for awhile. Amazingly...the Von Crap Family Singers sang me a song filled with all the possible alternative words for.....bodily wastes....I'm pretty sure Kelly should gag her son when I'm on the phone....but I had to laugh at their silliness. I volunteered a few words I thought they missed...you know...pucky...pooh....whatever...they say they didn't miss them. Yeah right...whatever.
Oh yeah...I didn't start out here...I'm so pleased to find myself eager to get home at night. I'm still not going to bed early...which I need to work on...and I need to get back to my homework...but I love the feeling of peace in this place...and I love coming home eager to hear a special voice....and I just find myself loving life. It's a great change from the days when I would find myself getting depressed on the way home....and one I hope only grows as time passes.
What a beautiful way to end a day....at peace...at home. | |
