The Long, Winding Road Home

Mar 27, 2005 03:25

Continued from hereEven though we've been walking without speaking for several minutes, the warmth of Wesley's hand holding mine is comforting, something that seems tangible after all the craziness we've been through in the last day...week...month...year. Years, even. At least there's something a bit normal in my life again ( Read more... )

I'm quite pleased when she approves of the food. I am, however, taken off-guard as Fred offers some of the breakfast I've prepared by holding out a forkful to me. I've not experienced with this kind of relationship, because my meals with Virgina usually entailed going out to a five-star resturant with an entourage of admirers staring at us. Not much room to feed each other in that situation, now is there?

Accepting the portion, I grin, taking the doughy goodness into my mouth. I did a rather good job too. I'll just disregard the memory of a certain morning when a certain woman named Cordelia Chase told me I was 'too British to do pancakes right'. Bugger that. Evidence speaks to the contrary, if Fred's happy face is any indication.

"Very good, indeed," I say in agreement, kissing her on the forehead. Now that I have the food done, some coffee should suffice as a substitution for my morning tea. Motioning to the cabinets, she nods her head while stuffing her face.

That's my girl.

I scan the shelves and to my utter amazement, I find English breakfast tea. What on earth is Fred doing with this, I wonder. No matter, it's tea, and tea is exactly what I desire. Turning around to address my eating companion I ask, "Fred, darling? What precisely are you doing with this is your kitchen? Are you having a hot affair with another Englishman behind my back?" I quirk my brow at her, shaking the tea leaves into a mug while the water is boiling.

I wish more mornings could start like this.

"Fred, darling? What precisely are you doing with this is your kitchen? Are you having a hot affair with another Englishman behind my back?"

I try not to choke on my last bite of pancake as I hold back a snort of laughter. Just for that... "Why, yes, in fact. I have this young British gentleman around to service me once a week, and he happens to like that brand of tea." I can't hold back my laughter anymore and crumple my napkin to toss at him. "I bought it for you, silly. I...I kinda...raided your cupboard at work to see what kind of tea you liked and bought it when I went shopping yesterday before I came into work. Was hoping you'd be staying over soon at all."

I suddenly realized that I'm blushing like crazy. Don't know why - I'm not the one standing in the middle of the kitchen wearing pigs and cows! Putting my fork down, I get up and walk over to him just as the tea kettle starts to whistle.

"After all, there's only one Englishman I want to have a hot affair with, you know."

"Why, yes, in fact. I have this young British gentleman around to service me once a week, and he happens to like that brand of tea."

I furrow my brow at her reply, until I realize that she's joking...and throwing her napkin at me. Which, I might add, I catch in my hand without blinking. Just because she caught me off guard doesn't mean I'm not alert enough to react to a projectile coming my way.

"I bought it for you, silly. I...I kinda...raided your cupboard at work to see what kind of tea you liked and bought it when I went shopping yesterday before I came into work. Was hoping you'd be staying over soon at all."

"Well then, that's a completely different matter, entirely. And I suppose I should thank you for thinking so far in advance," I say, retrieving the kettle from the stove, trying desperately to cover up my horrible attempt at humor.

"After all, there's only one Englishman I want to have a hot affair with, you know."

That makes the kettle freeze in mid-pour. I glance over at her a few feet away, moving to my side, a rosy blush pinking her cheeks. Quickly, I finish the tea, stirring it together, before locking eyes with my beautiful Fred.

"Good, because there's only one lovely lady from Texas that I want to be with," I say back, closing the distance between us to give her a sweet kiss.

"Good, because there's only one lovely lady from Texas that I want to be with."

I smile into the kiss and run my hand up his collarbone to wrap around his neck, closing the distance between us. The tea is balanced precariously in his hand by this point, so I take the cup from him and put it down on the counter before wrapping my other arm around him and kissing him deeper.

The robe feels all fuzzy under my fingers, and all I want to do at the moment is push it off him. Push it off him and push him down on the table and climb on top of him.

When the heck did I get to be so horny?

I finally get up the will power to break the kiss and pull away, looking into his eyes, my fingers trailing over the robe lapels to his chest.

"Your tea's gonna get cold," I whisper.
