Water And Land

our time apart

I knew this would happen at some point.  Abe was called out to field work with Red and Liz.  Yes I've been here for close to a month but they were the only people I knew around here and talked too. Abe reassured me everything would be fine.  This was just an exploration and dig; no bad guys no fighting.  They juat needes me here to process data that Abe will be giving me over our blue tooth. My job here is simple.  Listen and write everything they say and every move made.  There must be high detail records of every exploration artifact and agent.  I've come up with the perfect I record the conversations. Alimg with saving the entire audio clip on a labels disc jump drive and downloadable mp3 I also make a paper copy.  I tend to do this while and after I make the audio. 
"Itll only be a week. 7 days.  You can manage here. Plus thisll give you time to decorate youre room while we rest at the site. plus we'll never not have contact.  Remember 24/7 contact while were on the site. So you can get every single detail right down to the fibers in our field suits. I know you can handle this."
"I know I can too. I'm just going to miss you is all and no one really knows were officially together so its not like I can say I love you every night."
"Well then lets use code."
"And what code can we use that the agents dont know?"
"Well maybe not code but more like our own code. We could come up with phrases and say them and know the meaning while people would think were having a normal conversation. "
"But what would we say?"
"That's a good point. Ill figure something out.  In the mean time how about you give me some company while I pack. I won't be able to have you hovering close by when im away so I'd like to enjoy that while I can."
"Say no more ill hover by. So where are you guys going any way?"
"Ireland. There's a fairy infestation due to their caverns being destroyed.  Where going to examine the damage offer payment to leave the humans alone and repair their homes."
"Awe thayll be nice."
"Fairies oh god no.  Sneeky little jerks pardon my language. But they find anything and they take it. Food out? they'll eat it.  Not to mention their little booze hounds. So their almost always drunk drinking or hung over. "
"They sound like trouble."
"This is the closest well be in contact with a whole community though. So we may end up with some very reliable and important information."
"Well ill be waiting to organize it and save it for data."
"That's the spirit.  When I get back you and I have a few data jobs together any way so well be locked up together in here for a few weeks."
"Well thatll be fun.  You me and data sheets.  Nothing but romance."
"You sure know the way to my heart.  Keep talking data sheets."
"Data sheets. Pfg files. Mp3 organizer."
"Now you just love to squeeze the life out of any joke dont you."
"Yup.  If I cant enjoy a joke you cant either."
"You're a riot I tell you."
"But I'm your riot and you love it "
He stopped his packing and walked over to me trapping me between the book shelf and his chest.
"Yea you are and I do love it."
I let him move in closer to me so our faces where almost touching.
"You know since you're going away and ill miss you. I think maybe we should. You know? Do that thing we talked about."
"Oh that thing.  I wouldn't be opposed. I would like to physically connect to you."
"So do something about it blue."
"Is that you're wish?"
"Thats all i want."
He grabed my thighs and swung them around his hips pushing me into the bookshelf.  Our mouths entangled as we desperately tried to feel one another.  With me still on his hips he walks us to my bedroom where he places me ever so lightly on the bed.  His velvet hands gently sliding down my sides and under my back to bring myself closer to his embrace.
"Y/n I love you."
"Abe I love you too."

I made love to her.  The softness of her skin and her sharp breaths drove me mad.  Ive never felt such intensity in my life time. Her milky skin was soft and sweet and glowed in the moon lit room.  The way she moved underneath me and the sounds and things she said were sacred. We shared in the most intimate yet such normal practice.  You wpuld think this would of taken the edge off of being so infatuated by her.  But it made me be even more captured by her presences. The way she just perfectly coexists in my life has made me the happiest I've ever been. I gathered her in my arms as she slept soundly next to me.  That slight smile she has whenever I hold her in her sleep is what confirms to me that she dose love me. Her hair smelled like her and tangled itself into my fingers. Ill just stay like this a bit longer entrances in her beauty.
