Silvy
I didn’t remember falling asleep, so I know I didn’t put myself to bed. Since I was in my room I knew it was Goof that had put me here. It was always Goof. How he can still pick my big ass up amazes me but I figured out a few months ago to stop arguing with him about carrying me. I lose every time. He told me once he likes holding me that's why he carries me. See why I lost the argument. I roll over to see Goof’s side of the bed to see it empty. I place my hand on it and feel it is cold. The question is did he take a nap with me, something he does once and a while or did I sleep alone? I turn back over and grab my phone from the nightstand to see what time it is. Only two hours have passed since we left Speed’s house so I’m going to guess he never came to bed. If I take a short nap he will leave me to sleep alone.
I thought back to the surprise shower Goof had a hand in. It is good to know he can’t keep a secret worth a shit. Not that he would ever lie to me. Renegades live by a code and lying goes against it. While I slept I know he unloaded the van by himself and I feel bad. I toss back the comforter and move my legs so they can hang over the side of the bed so I can get up. Getting out of bed without yelling for Goof to come help can be a challenge. I have figured out a few tricks that work. One is I start on my side and let my legs hang over the edge of the bed. Then I push up with myself up and lower my legs until my feet touch the floor. Once I am sitting up straight I place my hands flat on the bed at my hips and push up. It usually takes a few attempts before I get it. There isn’t always someone around to help my awkward ass get up. I had to get inventive in some of the ways I came up with to get up.
At work, I have used crutches to help me up. It works. Locked wheelchairs, gurneys, and Iv poles. I have used it all. I have used the wheely stool and a broom to push myself around just to keep from getting up. Lazy or creative. You figure it out. I don’t care it worked and it was fun. Now back to what I was doing. It only took two tries for me to get standing this time. After a quick trip to the bathroom, I go in search of Goof. Making sure I hold on to the rail that Goof insisted he needed to replace with new wood, I make my way downstairs. I hear the announcer of the sports show he likes to watch on the tv so I head to the living room. When I get there I see Goof has stripped down to his sweats and a tee shirt which tells me that we are in for the night. He only dresses like that when he has no plans to leave the house.
Good, because I am done for the day. Even after my nap I just want to lay around the house. I think about ordering dinner I’m that lazy. He has his bare feet up on the coffee table, kicked back on the couch sipping a beer. I have never paid attention to feet before and still don’t. Other than mine at least. But Goof has some nice feet. They are always clean. His toenails are always neat and trim. I like his feet. Yeah, I’m weird but I wouldn’t let just anyone put their feet on my table. Just my Goof. Yes, my Goof. I have started thinking of him like that lately. Since we are trying to be together why not.
Goof has his attention on the tv and not paying attention to me. It makes it easier to sneak up on him. I had reached the back of the couch and placed my hands on his shoulders. Goof set his beer down on the table before laying his head back to look up at me. He smiles and if I was a weak woman I would have melted into a puddle. Well, weaker woman. I still melt but have learned how to make it not obvious. “ Hey, babe,” he said. I leaned down and gently pressed my lips to his. I had meant for it to be a quick peck. I just couldn’t resist licking his top lip and getting a taste of his beer. Never been much of a beer girl before but all the times I have tasted it on Goof are making me a fan. I doubt I would like it from the source thought. Goof’s response was to open his mouth and then tried to suck my tongue into his mouth. Tried because I pulled back.
Not enough to stand up all the way, just enough he couldn’t get my tongue. I smiled against his lips when he groaned. “ Hi,” I said against his lips. Goof grabbed one of my hands from his shoulder as I lifted up. It was getting uncomfortable being bent over for that long. “ Come here, babe. My lap is lonely without you.” Goof flirted. “ We can’t have now can we.” I giggled as he helped me around the side of the couch and onto his lap. After all, I do prefer his lap to any other piece of furniture. I sat down sideways on his lap and laid my head on his chest close to his shoulder. Goof wraps his arms around my waist and his chin on my head. “ Have you been up long?” he asked. “ No. Just long enough to pee and come downstairs.” I said. “ So fifteen minutes or so.” he chuckled.
I playfully slapped his chest making him laugh more. “ I’m sorry I left you to get the van unloaded,” I told him. “ Don’t be. It was easy. I placed the stroller in the front closet by the door. The gift bags with clothes, blankets, towels, things like that are in the corner over there.” Goof pointed to the far corner of the living room. “ That way we can remove tags and wash them all before I help you put them where you want. The bags with the bottles and stuff are in the pantry waiting to be opened and put in the dishwasher,” he said. He did all of this while I was sleeping. Didn’t I tell you he was a great guy? I snuggle closer into him and say “ You are always so good to me, Micheal. Always taking care of me and doing things for me. I feel like I don’t do enough for you.”
“ Babe, you do plenty for me. For fuck sake you are growing our baby. You are sitting on my lap letting me hold you. I get to kiss you any time I want. I get to hold you every night and wake up to you every morning. You agreed to give us a chance. I don’t need anything more.” he said. I lifted my head to look at him. Goof leaned down as I whispered, “ Neither do I.” He pressed his lips to mine and gave me three quick pecks before my stomach chose that moment to growl. “ Okay, maybe a snack and plans for dinner too.” I giggled.
