I’m missing Doc already.
It’s a little ridiculous; I know this. But I miss him terribly.
Last night was amazing. When Doc got here, we had some talking we needed to do, and we accomplished it pretty effectively. Once that was done with, we headed upstairs and jumped in the shower. It was a nice shower. Doc refuses to let me wash myself; instead, he takes the job on himself and does it thoroughly. He slowly soaps up every inch of my body, lingering over his favorite parts… and while I wash my hair, he washes himself (although sometimes I’m allowed to get his back). Once the cleansing ritual is over, I often can’t help but to slide down his body and test to make sure he’s fully rinsed. With my tongue. Last night didn’t take long for him to beg me to stop, not wanting to be spent that early. I was a little disappointed, but I did stop and we finished up in the shower. Normally he dries me after our showers, but last night we had things to do and so I quickly dried off while he shaved.
Doc was still shaving when I hopped downstairs to find my “good” black bra. Walking back through the dining room, I figured I’d take advantage of the fact that he was upstairs and sat down at the piano, knowing he could hear but able to play without the pressure of knowing he was sitting RIGHT THERE. I played the song I always play when I’m missing him (no, I’m not telling) and about halfway through, he and Bug walked into the dining room as silently as possible and sat down. When I finished, I looked over to see one of the most intense looks on Doc’s face I’d ever seen. I moved to sit by him and he kissed me so tenderly it brought tears to my eyes.
By this time, I was running a little later than I wanted to. I did my makeup (I KNOW!) as quickly as I could, with Ranger and Tootles walking into the house about halfway through that endeavor. Tootles gave me a beautiful necklace she beaded herself, and I put it on right away. I put my hair up into a tight bun (owie) and ran upstairs to finish getting dressed. No black socks… shit… fine, no socks at all.
At almost 6:30, I started taking things out to the truck. My purse and keys, and also a rather large and cumbersome case. At 6:30, I woke Doc up from a cat nap and dragged him to the truck with me. A short drive later, and after spending way more time than I liked looking for parking, we found ourselves walking to my college’s student union, toting all of the stuff I had just packed in the truck. We got in the doors and Doc handed me everything he was carrying, kissed me, and told me he’d see me shortly. Ranger and Tootles came up after the babysitter showed up, and half an hour later both my husbands and my cowife watched me play cello in a formal concert for the first time in thirteen years. There was a concert over the summer, but I don’t really count it since it was informal, not well attended, and very easy music.
The concert was good, and dinner afterward was nice - I pan fried flat iron steaks and Ranger made an absolutely amazing blue cheese and cracked pepper sauce to go over them. We all hung out for a while (one of my best friends came by for a bit to meet Doc and Tootles) and then eventually everyone made their way to bed. Doc and I were exhausted, so the lovemaking was a little sleepy at times and we collapsed pretty early. I woke up about an hour later, refreshed, but it took over an hour to wake Doc up for another round. I didn’t sleep much, and instead spent most of the night watching him. When I finally did fall asleep, it was only minutes before Doc got up and I followed, preferring to not be left on my own in a cold bed.
Not long after that, Doc and Tootles headed home. And for the first time in months, I found tears running down my cheeks. I don’t know why, only that I miss him already. I can’t wait for our next date.
