I woke up to find the day gray and chilly. I clicked to the weather channel. It was going to be gray and chilly and rainy all day. I couldn’t bring myself to go outside. I got the boys off to school. And called the two appointments that I had scheduled for the day. One was going to reschedule anyway. And one didn’t mind rescheduling. I curled up on the couch with a book.
I’m not a winter person. I keep saying that I’m going to move somewhere warm. But every winter, I clench my teeth and struggle through sub-zero degree temperature here in the windy city.
I called Kenny and told him I was going to be home all day.
He stopped by in the afternoon. We made love. Yes. I said made love. We make love quite often. Long, slow, tender, I’m-going-to-find-all-of-your hidden treasures, kind of loving. I’m going to savor the taste of you, kind of kissing. I’m going to explore every dip and curve of your body, kind of touching. I’m going to look into your eyes until you get lost in them kind of seeing.
After our sexual exploration of each other, we curled up on the couch, my feet in his lap. I was dousing off and he was watching TV. It was raining, you know…the kind of day that babies are made. Single women yearns for a man. And many, many men find themselves on the doorstep of women, whom they had abandoned in search of warmth. There’s a coziness to days like these that cannot be found in romance novels.
“Kitten, where are we going with our relationship?” Kenny asked.
I opened my eyes and closed them again. Dousing off felt blissful.
“Kitten,” he said shaking me.
I opened my eyes. “What do you mean?”
“Why do you keep this place?”
“I love this house,” I said.
“Is this as far as we’re going to go?“
“What‘s wrong with where we are?” I asked.
“Nothing. It’s great. But are we ever going to live together? Are we going to get married? You’ve already made it clear that we’re not going to have kids, I just want to know where we stand on these other issues. I know you love me, but you‘re as non-committal as a rock.”
Non-committal as a rock!
I sat up. What are you talking about? We already live together,” I said.
“I’m at your place all the time. Half of my clothes are in your closet. C and T have already picked out rooms in your house. Your stuff is at my place too. Your slippers are at my bedside. Your robe hangs in my closet. You have keys. You can come and go as you please. You can stay here and never go back home. We already live together. We just have two houses.
And as for marriage…we are married. I don’t believe that the true meaning of marriage exists on a piece of paper or in a diamond ring. Real marriage takes place in the heart. And my heart is married to you,” I said.
“So we’re married. We have two houses, and two kids? He asked.
“Yes,” I said.
He paused. I know that he was thinking of a rebuttal. He didn't.
“Open your legs wife,” he said.
And opened I did giggling and writhing as he pulled down my thong and buried his face is my pussy. Shortly after, the school bus pulled up outside with C and put an end to our cozy afternoon.
I lay in bed that night wondering about what he said. Am I non-committal? How can I be non-committal when I give him all my love and loyalty and commitment? Every plan I make now and in the future, he's in it. He has all of my nights and weekends and anytime else in between that's available. I'm the supporter who never stops believing in him. The love that is unwavering. The only man who has full and complete access to my body at will. Is this not commitment? Is that not marriage?
I'm a little bit confused.
Am I not serious about him because we don't live in the same house?
Am I non-committal because I'm not breaking my neck to get married?
This is something I have to explore.
