Candles.. Bubbles.. & Massages..!

"I'm bored".. The text read..
I clicked 'call sender'
She picked on the second ring..
"Hello Bunny"


I'd known her for five months..
We'd always had a 'ask-me-no-questions-I'll-tell-u-no-lies' kind of relationship..
I didn't know if she had a man.. She never asked if I was single..

First saw her on a wet platform at Waterloo station..
Trains were delayed.. I was late for work..
She was wearing a night nurse uniform.. Tiredness etched across her face..

She walked.. I watched.. & watched.. & watched..
A Weapon of Mass Distraction, her body was.

Glancing at me as she walked past..
She hissed.. "What you fukkin' staring at?!"
I smiled inwardly..
Black woman = Drama.. But I luv 'em still..
Picking up my near-empty rucksack.. I walked after her..

"You're in a bad mood then..", I said
"Good guess, Einstein..", she deadpanned
I laughed, "Trust me.. if I was any good at guessing, I'd play the lotteries every week rather than stand on a wet windy platform.."
Her forehead creased as she smiled.."I could do with that right now, to be honest.."

We stood chatting for fifteen odd minutes, till the train pulled in..
"You do know I'm gonna ask for your number, right?" I said, as her blue contacts moved from the train, to me & back to the train..
"Uhm.. Gimme yours instead, I'll text you..", she replied..

Her first text came through the next night..


Five months later.. She's bored..

"Hello?"
"Any ideas Roc..? I'm so bored right now, it's unbelievable..?"
"Wanna come round so we can catch some DVD's?!"
"You're probably not aware but, you drive and I don't.." came her sarcastic response..
"Okayyy.. Want me to come round then..? Spice up your day?"
"Funny! As if that would make a difference.."
"It just might.. I'll bring a bottle of wine..
Pop in a Joe CD.. Light some candles..
Run you a warm scented bath.. Slip in behind you..
Y'know.. Wash your back while you sit between my legs.."

I paused..
Silence..
I could hear her breathe..

"And if you've got some massage oil..
I might even show you that asian rubdown I always talked about.."

More silence..

"You there?"
"Yeah.. uhm.. yeah I'm here.. so.. You wanna.. uhmm.. Wanna come.. Over?
"Only if you want me to.."
"Yeah Roc.. Yeah, see you in a bit.. OK?

Call ended.. Call time 00:12:53..

I changed.. Got car keys..
Phone beeped as I strapped my seat belt on..
Text was from her..

"Can u stop off to get some bubble bath soap on ur way? xoxo"

I nudged the gear into Drive, and accelerated..
