The seat creaked as you leaned over to reach for the remote control. The TV was on for noise, but in an ironic twist, was interrupting our conversation, so you grabbed the remote and pointed it in the general direction of the TV and mashed buttons until you managed to turn it down a little, after accidentally changing channel several times. I laughed and remarked "You know, if you take a moment and press the right buttons, that won't happen?"
"Maybe so, but if they put the buttons in the right place, it wouldn't happen either. Stupid remote", you retorted as you dropped it back next to you. "What was I saying?"
"I think you were asking me when I was going to kiss you. I
think
."
"Oh yeah. You really should get on to that, you know. We've been alone for hours and you have haven't actually kissed me at all in the last 15 minutes or so. I'm not happy about that."
I laughed again and leant over to make amends. You'd arrived to visit the day before, but other than a short time in the car, this was really the first time we'd had alone, in private. My family had gone to the coast for the weekend this morning and we'd spent the day out in the sun, photographing what we could and stealing glances and hand touches whenever we could. Now we'd come home, changed into our jammies and plonked on the couch together, to take time to just be with each other and enjoy the closeness of the one we love most. And also, to hold hands and make out. A lot.
We sat next to each other and were half turned toward each other, hands clutched together between us as we gently kissed, eyes closed, tongues softly flicking. We'd occasionally stop and open our eyes, almost as if we were communicating to each other psychically, then stare at each other shyly for a few moments, before we'd lean in and start again. At one stage, you stopped and rested your head on my shoulder for a few moments. We sat there, hands together, quietly loving one another. I kissed the top of your head and rested my cheek against you, when you quietly said "I wish we could do more. I want to do so much more with you, but I know we can't. This is making it so much harder though."
My heart raced as I gently tilted your head back, then brushed the hair away from your face. "What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. We've always discussed what we'd do in this situation. Everything we've talked about and dreamed about, I want to do with you, but... we can't."
I kissed you softly on the lips and sighed. "I know. I know exactly what you mean. I've been thinking it all day, but just sitting this closely to you and having you entirely to myself, well, there's nothing to distract me from how perfect you are. "
"Pfft. I'm not perfect and I'm in my jammies and slippers."
"You are - so am I. That doesn't make you look any less amazing though."
I paused. "So, what can we do?"
You reached up, your hand snaking around my neck. "This", you breathed, and kissed me firmly, your desire obvious. Your tongue flicked across my lips then as you drew me closer, then parted my lips and danced across my tongue as you kissed me deeply. I kissed back for a moment and then whispered "Wait a minute" into your mouth. Reaching down between us, I tugged a hidden handle and "Clunk!", your seat opened up as a recliner. I smiled at the surprise on your face, then reached down behind me and tugged. "FOOP!" and my seat opened out next to you.
