Alone yesterday, I decide to do MUCH overdue yardwork & housework. The phone rings.
Jon- "Whatcha doin'?"
"Trying to get outta working around here- why?"
Jon- "Jo & I want to know if you want to float around the river in our boats for a couple of hours."
"YES- Come over, let's GO!"
They get here, Jon adjusts the motor setting on my other boat, asks "Did you call the cloud & invite him?"
"No- I want him to call and invite me- don't want to force myself unwanted."
"Why don'tcha just jump the man's bones & get it over with?"
"Because I don't want him to disappear from my life permanently- he means that much to me! A friendship is better than nothing at all, and MUCH better than a one night stand." Jon grins.
Before we leave, Jon dials his cell & hands it to me. "You KNOW you want to see him today."
"Hello?" Smoothe deep voice from the clouds. "Hellooooo" I laugh at Jon & Jo's antics in the background. I tell him of our intentions & invite him along. "Um, I was going to come down & cut more of your tree up, then we could go to that wildlife program?" "Oh, crap- I totally forgot about it & Jo's kids are here & the little guy REALLY wants to go out on my boat. Meet us there in your Kayak?" "Hesitates... "Okay, but I don't want to miss the program- the guy giving it is excellent."
Out on the river- kids with me, Jon & Jo in his little boat, they start fighting, Jon needs attitude adjustment, I laugh hysterically at them, they go work it out, back with apologies for everyone from Jon... no clouds arriving.
We leave the river about 7:30 & I drop the boat to home, then go in search of clouds. Good surprise or bad surprise- I'll know when I see his face.
The place is packed. The cloud's up front taking pics & doesn't see me in the back for about 20 minutes- he's eating cheese crackers from a box in between shots.
Finally he turns and steps back in surprise of seeing me and gets a big smile on his face. Ha! Clouds float a little off the ground, too! "Scooby Snacks?" I mouth. Big grin, nod, as he points to the box & I laugh.
Bugs,critters, & snakes in containers are handed to me to pass & after 5 or 6 minutes of this, he comes back & stands next to me and his deep voice comes into my left ear, enveloping my brain & soul with it's sweetness, and I am amazed at this man's intelligence & gentleness again.
The program ends, we are the last to leave after talking to the manager & the man doing the program, and after getting a baby croc in a large cooler to pose for us; the cloud follows me home and we sit under the stars and talk until I have to come in or fall asleep outside.
I hugged him goodbye- and this time he hugged back. "Safe home, my friend" I say as I hug him- wanting to keep holding him & have him hold me. I back away and he looks at me.
"I'll see you tomorrow- come down when you want." I'm having a barbecue for Jon, Jo, & the cloud for helping me with the tree. I don't want him to leave.
OK- see you tomorrow- he leaves for home, I enter the house & fall asleep in front of the TV as usual, feet still planted on the ground.
It's getting harder to keep them there..... NO MORE BRUISES! Remember that, Sue- NO MORE BRUISES!!!!
