Jonathan got up and pulled Charisse up with him leading her to the bed where they laid down and just held each other cuddling and talking. As the night wore on, Charisse drifted off to sleep in Jonathan's arms and Jonathan gave her a light kiss on her forehead. Jonathan laid his head back on the pillow and listened to the light sounds of Charisse's even breathing as he thought of what was to come the next day. He'd love to just keep her in bed all day but he knew she wanted to do some sight seeing while she was in town so he had planned to take her to the zoo. She once told him that she loved the zoo but didn't get a chance to go very often and it was just way too hot where she lived to be traipsing around the zoo trying to find animals that were usually hiding in the shade to get away from the heat. Jonathan closed his eyes and let out a contented sigh ready to get some sleep knowing the next day was going to be a busy one.
The next day Jonathan and Charisse went out to the zoo as he had planned and he enjoyed watching the joy expressed in Charisse's eyes as she watched the antics of the different animals. As they were walking hand in hand in the Aquarium, Jonathan thought how nice it would be to be able to be with Charisse like this all of the time. He looked at her and liked the way the outfit she chose that day made her look ten years younger. Then again it could have just been the good loving from the night before and the happiness of being with him. He hoped that was the case. Charisse was wearing ice white blue jean shorts that accented her thick brown legs very nicely. With that, she was wearing a snug dark purple t-shirt which she had tucked in to the waistband of her shorts. She accented the outfit with a thick black belt and the same black sandals she had on from the day before. He looked at her toes and was always amazed at how perfect they looked. She didn't wear colored nail polish always opting for the neutral clear polish but her toenails were impeccably clean and very nicely shaped. Charisse had decided to braid her hair that day and she looked rather adorable with her bangs curled on her forehead and her hair in two french braids going down the back.
Charisse looked at Jonathan and wondered what he was thinking. He seemed to have been rather preoccupied most of the day. She wanted to ask him what was on his mind but was afraid of the answer so she decided to just leave well enough alone. She took in the sight of Jonathan walking next to her and was glad she had met him. Jonathan was always considerate taking smaller steps match hers. Looking at him, Charisse wondered why he always thought he wasn't attractive enough for her when they first started chatting long ago in that chat room. She smiled, taking in his short black hair, that had just a hint of gray at the temples and his nice brown eyes that were always so full of expression. She smiled as her eyes traveled down to the full gray moustache neatly groomed above the mouth that brought her such incredible pleasure the night before. Jonathan was a lean man with an athletic build to him and she especially enjoyed that. That day he was wearing a simple outfit of blue jeans and a white t-shirt. The white t-shirt accentuated his wheat colored skin nicely. On his feet he had on a pair of tennis shoes that had seen better days but she didn't mind because she liked that quirk about him.
As they exited the zoo, Charisse saw a horse and buggy parked across the street and begged Jonathan for a ride explaining that she'd never ridden in one before. Jonathan, always wanting to bring a smile to Charisse's face and joy in her eyes, agreed. They headed over to the horse and buggy and he paid the driver to take them around the park that was across the street from the zoo. Jonathan helped Charisse up into the buggy and she slid over to make room for him. He settled down next to her and put his arm around her as the buggy began to travel around the park. It was a beautiful day and they could still see some raindrops glistening in the sunlight on the leaves of the trees as they rode by. The park was busy that day with families grilling, children laughing and playing on the playground equipment, couples taking leisurely strolls and people walking their dogs. It was like a scene from a movie.
