He slowly tried to lift himself from the bed sideways. Then the usual creaky noise was made whenever he stood up from that old bed. She slightly moved, but then remained still. He looked at her, and thought of her beauty as she slept. Her mouth was open, and a little bit of drool was dripping out. He giggled slightly and with his thumb cleaned her cheek and gently closed her mouth. She creaked her eyes open just a bit. "T...Tama?", she asked below a whisper. "Go back to sleep, dear...it's late." He kissed her on her forehead. Almost instantly, she stood up, and with drowsy eyes, hugged him, with her head along the side of his ribs. Tama hugged her back. "Where are you going?", she asked hesitating. "I'm just going to take some air outside, and to take a restroom break, k?", he said smiling all the way through. "The restroom's right there...", she said, pointing straight ahead, as he already was halfway out of the room. He looked at her. "Oh...it's a guy thing, I forget...hurry back, will you?", she said, with a worry in her eyes. "I will", he said, smiling. As soon as he was out, she called on him again. "Tama?"...he hesitated, then looked back..."Yes Ashley?". "I love you", she said, as her face seemed to free itself from some worry. "I love you too babe". She then curled up, grabbing his pillow and resting her bottom side of her face on it. She sighed, but halfway closed her eyes. Tama opened the door. It was chilly. He rubbed the sides of his arms. He looked up as he undid his zipper and sighed...he looked at the moon...he remembered how the place used to be before they built the house...and looked at the swing were he used to push Ashley when they were young...he closed his eyes and saw it again...they were walking near the river...and she almost fell into it...he grabbed her by the arm, and brought her back. She breathed heavily, and was blushing terribly. her hands were into fists, both on his chest...he slowly held her back with both hands...and nothing else mattered. "I love you..."
And with a cold with he realized.
He went back inside, closing the door behind him.
When he saw her, she was up, with her reading glasses, reading letters...his letters, now a little wrinkled and old.
"Go to sleep, seriously, you need your rest", he said, laying down again, facing her.
She put away the letters, and got on his chest. "I don't want to sleep...what if I don't see you in my dreams like I was right now?", and as she spoke, tears formed on her eyes. He noticed it was serious. "You don't always have to be with me...you're sleeping with me baby...", he put his hand against her cheek.
"But I do! You're my obsession...the only one I've ever had...and if I wake up...and you're not here anymore...I'll never forgive myself..."
He put his hands on her waist. "The be good...He'll see...and he'll let you be with me forever....just be good...", she smiled, hugged him, and let her two teardrops go. She finally lay down besides him, facing the other way.
"Ashley?", he called. She turned to see him. He then placed himself on top of her.
She blushed, and covered her chest with both hands. He slowly placed his hand under her shirt. She smiled slowly, and the asked very calmly..."...Playtime?"
"Playtime", Tama replied, "But just five minutes.
...five minutes later...
Ashley:*kissing* five minutes more?
Tama: Just five more minutes
