Love is blind

Julia

The past few weeks have been great. Kimberly has been really busy filming, but we spent every possible moment together. She has been home much more since a week. They just need to tie up a few loose ends. After that she really has a well-deserved free period. I have never felt so good and loved. I also see Sem really enjoying it, which only makes my happiness bigger. He has also found a new hobby, painting. It's really his and Kimberly's thing, she is teaching him. Likewise today. If I don't find anyone in the living room, I know I have to go to the attic. Kimberly has had the attic room completely furnished so that she can paint there. Arriving in the attic I stop in the doorway and lean against the door frame. I enjoy what is happening in front of me. Sem is really getting better. The high fives are flying around. I stand there for at least ten minutes until Kimberly is the first to notice that I'm home. She comes to me with a big smile on her face. As soon as she stands in front of me she gives me a kiss. "How was your day?" she asks as she gently puts her arms around my neck. She makes sure I don't get covered in paint. "Lots of difficult people on the phone, but this makes up for it. It looks like everything is going well here." I put my lips on hers again. "Mom, look at what I learned from Kim today". I hear Sem say proudly. I walk over to him and kiss his head. "Well let's see then". He starts to tell me a whole story about a way of painting. I don't understand it at all, but I think it's wonderful to see how he enjoys this. Meanwhile, Kimberly has come up behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist. "He's a talent," she whispers in my ear. "That's partly because of his teacher," I whisper back. "Looks really nice sweetie. Mommy can't do it. I'll start cooking, then you can go on. Sem, are you still thinking about your homework?". He nods. "You know you don't have to cook, " says Kimberly. "Yes I know Sunshine, but I like doing it. I already told Evelien this morning that I would cook tonight". I give Kimberly another lovely kiss before heading to the kitchen.

I've been busy in the kitchen for a while when Kimberly and Sem join me. Sem sits down at the kitchen table to do his homework. Kimberly sits down on the counter next to the stove. She knows I like that. This way I can at least steal a lot of kisses between cooking and snuggle up to her. "It's Christmas next month, what kind of present do you want?" asks Kimberly after a while. I mainly focus on the stove. "I do not know". I hear Sem say. "Surely there is something you want?". I wish Kimberly the best of luck. Sem never actually asks for anything. "Yes, there is something." Sem says it a bit shyly. "And what is it?". It takes a while for Sem to answer. "I'd like to call you mommy." I am frozen for a moment when I hear Sem say that. I feel my eyes watering. Kimberly has figured it out. She takes my hand and rubs it gently with her thumb. When I look at her I see a big smile on her face. "Of course you can call me that if you like. That would be a great honor. So that's more like a gift for me and you don't have to wait until Christmas. So now you really have to think of another gift". In the meantime I stood between Kimberly's legs and rested my head on her chest. "Okay mommy, I'll think about it." Sem says cheerfully. It's getting harder and harder to hold back my tears. I feel Kimberly's lips on my head. "Babe, can I finish cooking? I think you could use a moment for yourself." I look at Kimberly in her sparkling eyes. "Thank you ". I put my lips on hers. After a minute I stop the kiss to take a moment for myself.

I went to the bedroom. I sit on the window sill, staring outside. After fifteen minutes Kimberly enters the bedroom. "Beauty, are you coming to dinner?" I nod. "Come here first." I make room for Kimberly to sit with me. She puts her back against my stomach. I wrap my arms around her and hold her tight. "You don't mind that I said that Sem can call me mommy, do you?" she asks uncertainly as we sit in silence for a while. "Are you cray? Do you know how happy I am now. The most important person in my life calls the woman of my dreams mommy. You can't make me happier now." She smiles and turns her head to look at me. "I never dared to dream this. It is really an honor for me that he wants to call me mommy. Well mommy.... He has new names for us". I kiss her. "How bad is it?". She shrugs. "It's okay. Mommy j and mommy k". We both laugh about it. "Yeah, okay, that's doable." Kimberly stands up and takes my hand. "Come on, I think Sem is waiting for us". I also get up and pull her hand towards me to kiss. "Mommy k, I love you. Let's go quickly to our son." I see Kimberly's eyes watering a bit. "I love you too. And our son?" I nod. "A child calls its mother mommy. Since you are now called that by Sem, it makes him your son. Although you should ask him if you can call him that. If you want, of course. I don't think he will have any problem with it." She kisses me. Then she runs to the kitchen. Where Sem has already served dinner for us for us. "That took a long time," he says with an exaggerated sigh. Kimberly sits down next to him. "Sorry, mom and I were talking. I would like to ask you something". He looks at Kimberly a little surprised. "Um okay". I can tell from Kimberly that she's a little nervous. "Can I call you my son or stepson. I mean when I introduce you to people or when I tell people about you with pride." He wraps his arms around Kimberly's neck. "Of course mommy k. As long as it's not a stepson, that sounds so stupid". Kimberly kisses him on the forehead. "Thank you. You make your mothers very happy with that".

Sem has just gone to bed. Kimberly and I are lying on the couch together. Kimberly is going over her script. "Shall we also move upstairs? I'm ready for my bed." Kimberly nods and kisses me. "We can do that. I can also learn my script when you go to sleep." I wasn't exactly planning on going to sleep, but she'll find out soon. We first took a shower upstairs. I'm dawdling extra so Kimberly goes to the bedroom earlier. Not much later I walk a little nervous into the bedroom. Kimberly is already in bed and busy looking at her script. I walk over to her side of the bed. She looks at me questioningly when I take the script from her hands. "What are you up to?" she asks softly as I sit on top of her. With my index finger I make movements that she has to sit up. I put my arms around her neck as soon as she sits up. "Julia, what are you up to?". I rest my forehead against hers. "I intend to give myself completely to you and I don't want you to hold back." Kimberly looks deep into my eyes. "Are you sure?". I nod. "Very sure". Kimberly doesn't need more encouragement to put her lips on mine.

I reallydon't understand why I waited so long for this to happen. I don't know what hasbeen holding me back all this time. Kimberly leaves no part of my bodyuntouched with her loving kisses and touches. I can't describe what goesthrough my mind when I lie shockingly under Kimberly for the first time. Icouldn't prevent some tears of happiness from escaping. Kimberly makes me feelthings over and over again that I've never felt before and tonight isdefinitely one of them. We have taken ample time to explore each other's bodiesand look for what the other liked. This way of loving each other was completelynew to me and it will always remain in my mind. To share our love for eachother in this way can become an addiction.
