“noooo…” she slapped him on his hand.
“what? Com’on! Let’s celebrate!”
“and exactly what are we celebrating?”
“you know ……” he scratched his head to come up with some reason, but he couldn’t. “Oh Common June, we had that thing right this week”
Now, June was purely toying with him. She said “Yes…. Yes. I just want you to remind me of it.”
Ron was getting a bit frustrated with all of this. He suddenly got up from the bed, turned and said, “June dear, we are pretty awesome at it. If we stop doing it, I guess the universe would be mad at us. And most importantly we are so good at it, if we didn’t do it.. it’s like Picasso stopped doing his painting…”
“Ron, Hon you do know he is dead, right?”
“that’s not the point…if we are good at it, we shouldn’t stop. If we stopped it’d be loss to the world!! And you’d be responsible.. how would you live with that ” with despair he said.
“so let me get this straight …” June put her book down side of the bed. Took her reading glasses off and said, “you mean, if we just stopped doing sex the WORLD would be at loss?? You seems to lost it all.. today” she let a soft giggle.
“but tell you what …” June continued, “I do have something for you that we together could do!!” June had something on her mind.
“What?” Ron said it with clear uninteresting tone.
“talking”
“OHhhhhhhh MY GOD!!!” Ron heard himself screaming in his mind.
**~~**~~**
Ron submitted himself to June’s mercy as he sat beside her on their bed in bed room.
Ron and June were married for over a year now, both in late twenties. June, with her milky fair complexion, slightly blue and magical eyes and delightful smile had been Ron’s love since college. Ron loved tons of things about her, but mostly he loved her free sprint, wild thinking and strong opinions.
Those were her qualities. And he hated them tonight.
Ron was gazing her, as she was taking some sips of water from bottle.
“DAMN look at those wet lips!” Ron thought. “what’s wrong with her tonight .. why is she messing so much with me…. Aaah may be its one of ‘those’ nights! But she could tell me. She has told me upfront many times, why different tonight… Cant get read of this woman! But again she is a woman! Why these creatures are so complex …”
Ron, while thinking to himself, lost what June asked him.
“Ron” she shook him by grabbing his shoulder.
“Yeah.. Yeah..”
“so..”
“so what!”
“I asked you, do you remember how you first saw me or not!!”
“what! ” Ron looked almost shocked. “of course I do..”
“I can tell when you lie Ron…” She shrugged and turned away and almost lay down.
“Oh jeez! Pls June I know… ok. I first noticed you in Mathematics class first year engg.”
“What” now it was June’s time to surprise. “NO. we met in second year, Chemistry lab”
“No you Dumb Sex magnet… on. I remember you had changed your hairstyle from usual, which made you stand out. You had that unique sleek hairstyle with razor cut, uneven ends done at that time…”
“yeah.. I had done that.. you remember that. I didn’t know that. See we still have fun talking.” she was pleasantly surprised and happy that he remembers.
“I always thought we met in that Chemistry lab” June hugged pillow in joy, and sit right up beside him.
“that’s when we talked first time!! But what I don’t understand is why are we talking now?? cant we just ..” he moved his hand towards her thighs.
She slapped him on his hand again. “that topic off the table”
“whyyyyyyyyy??” He cried in his mind again.
**~~**~~**
Ron was thinking mean while June went to the kitchen to get a glass full of milk and a dish full of chocolate cookies.
A hint of delicious cookie’s smell caught Ron’s nose and broke his thought process, “Is that… oh it is, the butter, the brown and white sugar with semi-sweet chocolate chips. DAMN she is good with those cookies”
She came and sat in front of him. Ron immediately took one cookie and cracked it under his teeth. As the cookie dissolved in his mouth he asked, “I got a ‘talking’ point for you?”
After taking a sip out of her glass of milk she kept the glass on side table and hinted him to ask as she took one cookie of the dish.
“When was the first time you really enjoyed with me?”
“in college we went to that movie…”
“No no.. I meant sexually….” He was on his 3rd cookie now.
She gave no reaction. He said “what! I m just asking.. I don’t think we discuss this as well
as it should.. common on! Anyways we are just talking…”
She was hesitating about how to speak about it. She took the pillow and crushed it in her embrace as she said, “you know, when we were in our honeymoon and you were really excited to make love.. Almost every night.. I use to be afraid of that part of you in those days. I just couldn’t connect to you physically, but since you were so enjoying I didn’t say much.”
Ron was stunned to hear this. His 4th half eaten cookie fell in the dish without his notice.
**~~**~~**
“ That can’t be right! She must be joking, it was honeymoon where couples consummate their marriage so I did. I hope I didn’t overlooked her, whether she was liking it or not… how come I am suppose if she isn’t liking it.. why didn’t she said to stop.. then..”
In those nano seconds his brain went overdrive in thinking about all this.
June continued, “but then that day…”
It caught his attention. his internal thought stopped and he focused back on her.
“the day before we were suppose leave Paris, I had back pain.. you remember??”
She didn’t wait for his answer, as she was already in past.
“that day I had back pain. You asked me to lie on my stomach. You sat on my closed thighs and stoked my back with your hands. It wasn’t that helpful so you went and took some oil. You slowly pushed my top up and rubbed the oil on my lower back. While you were seating on my thighs I had felt you on my hips. I was having trouble in getting up to take the top completely off, so you took the scissors, just cut it in half and tore my top away. You took my bra off. On the bare back you started slowly messaging me. Though not so alien your that touch was fresh to me. I felt I am home. Slowly the pain faded away and I still wanted your touch. ”
“yes.. I remember.. then you turned.”
June smiled.
Ron continued, “I couldn’t keep myself away from your lips…. I know you bit me on my lips hard that time” June had her eyes closed and lips tightly held.
“Yes, I know” she said softly as she remembered.
“…that time for me real union happened between us… I’d always think that’s when I loved you” She said.
Few moments passed without a word being exchanged, where both drifted in past.
Gentle breeze flowing through bedroom window brought Ron to the present.
“ Ron you been such a jack..”
**~~**~~**
He shook his head and said, “No truly … you know..i am glad we talked…”
June came in present instantly when she heard his somewhat less confident voice which she could sense was also filled with little guilt.
“June, hey look am sorry. I have been so selfish in past.. didn’t really looked out for you..”
June had a big smile of her face.. but she avoided to laugh.
“today onwards I’d make sure its about us and not me me me.. trust me. You’ve always loved me more .. but now..I’d love you more than that. In fact now only, here why don’t you finish these last 2 cookies”
He passed the dish to her.
she peeped in and said “you mean 1 and half cookie?”
“yeah..” she sensed more guilt.
She laughed out loud and put the dish away on side table. His innocent confession and promise overjoyed her.
She stood on her knees and jumped on him to kiss him.
**~~the end~~**
