Nighttime dreamtime

My baby and I were working yesterday - me because I had to and my baby by choice, you read it correctly my baby worked out of choice; a beautifully warm and sunny Saturday and we were both stuck in work. I was working all day and my baby worked until 2 o'clock so at least he had the afternoon free to enjoy the weather. I feel for my baby when the weather's good because he's stuck inside in the office all day; he can see how beautiful the day is but barring his breaks he can't get out and enjoy the weather, yesterday was no different. To be honest I felt a little guilty because my baby should have been off all this weekend, hence he could have been out enjoying the sunshine yesterday instead of being stuck in the office; but he managed to swap with one of his colleagues so he could get next weekend off because I'm off next weekend so we could be together. He's a sweetheart and I appreciate it benefits us both but still, my baby's so thoughtful, he swapped his weekend sift so we could be together, I don't know, it's just so selfless and it's the best news ever. In fact we've been talking about this tonight, I was working again today by the way, but when I got home my baby reminded me there's only five days to go before it's weekend again where we'll have it all to ourselves, to enjoy together. He's so positive and he thinks such beautiful thoughts that it's impossible not to feel great when I'm with him; I was happy anyway when I got home this evening but he just made me happier.

Back to yesterday, a wonderfully warm and sunny day, it was just divine and it faded into a beautiful evening too; my baby met me on the way home from work, this time it was planned, he let me know by text. I was a couple of minutes late getting away last night and as I got to Wellington Street I found my baby waiting for me on the opposite side of the road; waiting with a smile, a kiss and a cuddle. Oh gosh he's such eye candy, he was wearing a pair of shorts and a polo shirt, and he just looked divine - so cute, so cheeky, so summery and so gorgeous; as soon as I saw him my face lit up and my heart skipped a beat, as soon as I was in his arms my heart just melted. I love walking with my baby, wherever we go or find ourselves, even if it is just walking home from work together; just having someone so special to share my thoughts with, to share my day with and I find it so utterly romantic that my baby meets me from work and walks me safely home - once he takes hold of my hand he doesn't let go, I never want him to let go...............

As we walked back home we talked about heading out for a few beers later in the night, it was a beautiful evening for it but as it would have been in Straightville we decided against it, we really couldn't be bothered acting straight! So we took a detour to the corner shop and picked up some beers after deciding to stay in and stay gay! Once home I got washed and changed into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and returned downstairs to find my baby had made some coffee and was sat outside in the garden waiting for me. We sat, talked, held hands and I could feel myself unwinding and relaxing; I could literally feel it as it was happening, not that I'd had a stressful day but still I could feel it. The late evening sun, the blue sky, the warmth, the birds busily flying and singing, not to mention the sexy boyfriend sat next to me holding my hand and keeping me entertained; everything came together and filled my heart and soul with joy.

We headed inside to make tea, I'd picked up Spaghetti Margarita from Marks & Spencer and we had it with a mixed leaf salad and a warm ciabatta. It wasn't exactly the most difficult tea in the World to cook but it was the most fun; we were both busy in the kitchen - laughing, joking and generally fooling around with the occasional bit of cooking, oh gosh we had such fun. Tea itself was awesome, the spaghetti dish was delicious - so simple yet so tasty and the mixed leaf salad and the ciabatta were the perfect side dishes for it; in fact it was the perfect dish for the evening because it tasted like Summer. The past couple of nights, once the sun has gone down, it's gone rather chilly but last night it remained warm throughout; after tea we went and sat outside again and that's where we remained. There was one point just as dusk descended when you could feel the heat of the day rising up from the ground, my baby and I were sat there and I could just feel it. I turned to my baby and asked if he'd noticed it, if he could feel the heat radiating around us despite the night closing in; we kind of sat in silence for a few minutes and just immersed ourselves in the moment. My baby broke the silence and said it was magical; and it was, it was nothing if not magical, it's a beautiful phenomenon to feel the heat of the day rising back up out of the earth.

We sat out until around 11 o'clock - we drank some beers and ended up snuggled so close together looking up at the sky; looking up at the moon as it traversed in and out of the clouds. I was thinking out loud, thinking of how the beauty of nature always blows me away, when I said to my baby, we're so lucky to be alive and I'm so lucky to be able to share these moments with someone like you, it's like a dream that doesn't end. I felt my baby's grip on my hand tighten followed by a kiss on my cheek, I turned to see him smiling and I knew I wasn't wrong..........
