Chapter 4: Stolen Kiss

Miss. Lessie's thoughts the next morning. the image is illustrated by my Friend

Just woke up, feeling tired, a feeling of heaviness within my body and drain out of the night's passion. What night's passion? My vision started to clear of what had happened.

A hand resting on top of my stomach.
A warm breath tickling my ear.
Then I realized I was leaning my head against an arm and my naked flesh is cocooned in someone body.

Oh God, what have I done last night?
Now facing the face of my stupidity.
Stupidity maybe, yet I don't regret any of it.
Being able to look at you at this close is a dream.
Waking up beside you is simplest best wish that had come true.

I've touch your face so many times.
I've whisper you name number of times.
I've felt your passion, a touch that I imagine few many times.
Last night was the best night i ever dreamt in my entire life.

I wish this dream will never end.
Yet reality will strike back when you wake up.

I want to touch your face for the last time.
Hoping that I will not wake you up
Because maybe this will be the last time I can be true to myself.
True to the feelings I've felt for you.

Your face is warm and I'm glad you didn't wake up.
You're so much more than my everything.

Just one kiss to remember by
A butterfly kiss will be enough, for you not to notice
A stolen kiss to someone who is sleeping.

As I felt the kiss touch my lips.
It felt wonderful yet it was quick
For not wanting to wake you
And not wanting you to know
That I stole a kiss while you sleep.

A banging of the door scrabbled my thoughts.
And quickly I get up.
Because of that I manage to wake him up.

Then I quickly put on some clothes and head to the door.
Not glancing back to his direction.
Afraid of the truth written in his face.
The reality of what had happened.

I've realized that I wore the wrong clothes.
A polo that is too big for my size.
I smiled, for I had imagined this so many times.

I open the door
An old lady with an angry face with a nasty stare.

Miss Lessie: “Yes? How may I help you?”  an old lady appeared with strict authority in her eyes..

Old Lady: “Who are you? Where is Bone?”

Miss Lessie: “I'm Lessie, a friend of Bone?”

Old Lady: “So you're the girl friend his been drinking all day about.”

Miss Lessie: “No, I'm not. I'm just really a friend of Bone. What do you want from him?”

Old Lady: “Okay as you say so. I've been looking for him because his rent is one month overdue. And I needed the money. So I'm here to collect.”

Miss Lessie: “Ok wait here. I will just get some money.”

---
Miss Lessie: “I don't have any change so here you go. Is that ok?”

Old Lady: “I don't have any change either. This is too much. Tell you what I think. I will just get this all for his next month’s advance payment.”

Miss Lessie: “Ok no problem.”

Old Lady: “Thank you. Are you sure you're not really the girl friend? I sense otherwise.”

Miss Lessie: “You're welcome. and No I'm not his girlfriend. Just a friend. I need to go. Bye.”

Have to respect a man who thinks he has the sensitivity to simulate a woman's thoughts.
I don't believe I've ever truly understood a woman in my entire life--and that includes my mother, ex-wife and three daughters.
Still, Pax, an undeniably good read!

^.^ Loved this. I'm glad you had that conversation with the old lady who was asking if they were just friends or not. It made it a lot more realistic and well done. Like..the old lady was trying to convince Miss. Lessie. Well done!

Awesome chapter! The imagery is stunning(I particularly liked the use of the word 'cocooned') Loved the format on which this piece was written! The image again was dashing, keep writing!

A very good dream. I like Miss Lessie paying the rent. I like the chapter. Easy to fall down to where dreams are all you have. Thank you for the excellent chapter.
