Private Conversation: Vita, Week 2, Monday night

[backuphero]

[It's a cliché, but it's a cliché for a reason... after they've done as lovers - as newlyweds! - do, when anyone would be falling asleep, Jonathan asks a question, his voice low and shy.]

Hey, you still awake?

[There's something that's been bothering him all day, and much as he'd hoped grown folks' business would get his mind off it, it's still bothering him.]

[She'll go ahead and give him a kiss in response.]

I'd never say you aren't allowed to look at others and appreciate that someone can be attractive, man or woman. To me that's not any different from appreciating a painting or sculpture for its beauty.

[backuphero]

Yeah, I... I had a feeling you'd say something like that.

[He can't quite keep the smile on his face, but he presses his forehead to hers and hopes that makes up for it.]

So I can look but not touch, huh? And man or woman? You're generous.

[illusionarymelody]

Very generous because I know that no one else is going to get to have you in the way I do and no one will have me in the way you do. What we have here is ours alone.
