The Love Behind It

The Beginning

"Mrs Harris!" Called out by a familiar voice, I then turned around to be greeted by Michelle Obama "You did an amazing job out there, you got the crowd all riled up this is what I like to see!" I then let out a soft chuckle running my fingers through my hair "Im surprised this many people came out! I'm enjoying it down here in 'kamalazoo'."I made a little inside joke, when then both laughed and waved eachother off.

I walk a little further behind stage and just as I'm about to leave I run into the one and only Gretchen whitmer. "Kamala! Hi, you know I was cheering you on back here." I let out a loud laugh and raise my eyebrows in a knowing matter "I know you were, the best part of my rallies are getting to see you and your reaction" we both laugh. "You have to let me take you for a drink, I can tell you're a little stressed." I smirk showing only my bottom teeth, looking down at my black heels. "Is it that noticeable?" I chuckle. She then lifts my head up with her hand, "For me yes." she smiles. I then start feeling this weird feeling in my stomach, I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion of why I was feeling such things.

She then looks at me in confusion. "Are you okay, do you need water?" Her statement knocking me out of my thoughts. "Yea I'm just a little tired but I'm gonna hold on a little longer just for those drinks you offered me earlier." We both laugh and then interlock our arms as we walk out the back and get into one of the black SUV's. 

After a car ride full of laughter and deep conversations we then arrived to the bar, and of course it was filled with cameras and microphones. I then look at Gretchen with a side eye and a smirk, as she chuckles. "I knew it was too good to be true." With all the police lights and sirens it wasn't very easy to sneak around places.

After we talked to a few customers in the store Gretchen offered me a seat at the bar, and we talked for a full on 30 minutes until I looked up a realized microphones were practically in our faces. "Oh! We're being recorded I totally forgot those things were there, well we just told all the family secrets, shit" I let out a loud chuckle. Gretchen then takes a sip of her beer and laughs so hard she uses my thigh as a form of holding her up. I then jerk a little, which didn't make any sense to me I had never done that to anyone before, it was just a little touch.

Gretchen then quickly pulls back in embarrassment. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to overstep." My eyes widen in panic as a try to ensure her, "No! No! It wasn't you I tend to do that a lot I'm not very sure why." That was a lie. "But you didn't do anything wrong I promise." I say as I try to get her back comfortable. We then looked over to the cameras realizing they were still rolling. Shit. This will be on Fox of course.

After another 30 minutes when then hug eachother and greet each other with friendly goodbyes. I really adore Gretchen I don't know what it is about her but I love being around her, she's so kind, joyful, funny, playful and just all around a beautiful person inside and out. Wait. What the fuck? I stopped myself realizing I was daydreaming about Gretchen. You're married Kamala, knock out of it.

By the time I get to the plane and fly back home it's now really late at night and my eyes felt heavier than ever. As I greet the security and walk inside my home I noticed my douggie sitting on the couch sleep. It looks like he tried to wait up for me. I stare at him in awe. Not shortly after I decided to wake him up. "Hey hun, I'm back I'm sorry it took me so long." He then fully wakes up with just the biggest, brightest smile. And pecks a little kiss on my lips. "Well aren't you just dressed up and beautiful as ever" he says in a playful manner. I let out a breathy laugh "come on let's get you upstairs." 

After we both take turns in the shower, we both get in bed and get into a spoon position. I look over a little bit at the clock as it read '1:25am' boy did I need my rest. Thanks to the drinks I had earlier it didn't take much for me to fall into a deep sleep. Ready to take on the next eventful day.
