but it took me months just to find those pictures. I
can go through my stuff and see if there is anything else I like.”
“That would be great. I’d love to do another show with
you whenever you are ready.”
We hung up and I stood at the window looking over
Kansas City. It was amazing. I couldn’t believe I had sold all my photos. I
couldn’t believe how much money they had sold for. It was a dream come true. A
dream that I had not dared to actually let myself dream of before that very
moment. My life had never been a fairy tale and that was alright with me.
“You do know you’re naked standing in front of a
window right?” Chris said as he started to stir in the bed.
“ Well, Kansas
City will just have to deal with my nakedness.”
“I don’t think anyone will mind. So that was good news
about your show?”
“Yes, great news. I sold everything. Can you believe
that?”
“Yes.”
He said it so quickly and so confidently that I
couldn’t help but hug him. It felt so great to have someone to share that
moment with. It also felt really good to be around someone who had such an
intense ability to calm me.
“I just can’t
believe it. One of the pictures went for over twenty thousand dollars. That is
so insane to me.”
“Which one?”
“The one of the moon through the woods. It was the one
I took the night you had to carry me home.” I laughed just thinking about it. I
didn’t add that it was also the night that he carried me up the stairs to my
bedroom. I didn’t add that it was the first night I had been with a man since
losing Michael. I also didn’t add that the night was a memory that was still
firmly embedded in my mind.
“Hmmm I remember that night very well,” Chris said as
he kissed me.
He headed over to the phone and stood there naked
while he dialed a number. It was impossible not to enjoy watching his body.
Especially while he was standing there naked in front of me. I knew he had a
lot of muscles, but seeing him in all of his glory it just made me want to try
something new.
“Yes, we are in room 1205. We need strawberries and champagne, please.”
“What? It’s eight o’clock in the morning. Are you
crazy?” I said as I grabbed a t-shirt from my suitcase and a pair of shorts and
put them on.
“It’s never too early to have a celebration. But yes I
could possibly be crazy.”
His smile hid something very interesting and I loved
how he winked right after saying the word crazy. I certainly didn’t think he
was crazy, but I did really want to know more about him. There had to be more
to him than a ripped muscular body that always rescued me from situations.
“Well I’m only going to have one glass, I want to get
home and get to my own bed this afternoon. I’m exhausted. Someone kept me up
most of the night.” I jokingly pushed Chris toward the wall.
“Who would do that? It must have been a crazy man.”
Chris winked at me again. He pulled me close to him and I let my head rest on
his chest. Feeling his arms wrapped around me made me feel so safe. Like no one
and nothing in the entire world could ever harm me. I liked that feeling and I
liked Chris’ arms wrapped around me.
When the champagne came, Chris popped the cork and poured us a couple of glasses. It was the first time
I had actually tasted champagne and it
was delicious. I didn’t stop at one glass and was soon lying in bed drinking my
third or fourth glass and eating a giant strawberry, with Chris sitting right
next to me. It was by far one of the best celebrations I had ever had. The
simplicity of it made it perfect.
Luckily Chris had only one glass of champagne and was
able to drive us around Kansas City on a
little sightseeing tour while I relaxed. We went downtown and even drove past
the Royals baseball stadium. I wasn’t a particularly big fan of baseball, but
it was neat to see the big stadium.
