OK BUT PLS - Tumblr Posts

If my other half won’t do this to me in the future then I simply don’t want him

“Can you believe it?” Curving towards the sun like a lazy houseplant, you let the warmth of the golden glow bask your skin, heating you up until you were content. “A sunny day in England? I don’t know what to do with myself; what should we do?”

Tommy laughed at you, purring like cat as you extended your legs in chaise lounge. You had convinced Tommy to enjoy the rare sunny day in the garden, though he sat at the table nursing a drink and looking over the books while you fought of sleep in your content state.

“We enjoy it.”

“Enjoy it? And you call that enjoying it?” Your tone was a accusatory but he was only enjoying its subtle touch on his skin, giving him warmth.

“I’m outside, aren’t I?”

“You’re such a sourpuss Tom. You should be more excited! It’s the first sunny day in four months. Put the Goodman books down and let’s do something! A ride, a walk, anything fun. We’ve been locked up inside from the cold and the rain for a whole season... hell it could rain again tomorrow and we’ll be asking ourselves why we haven’t seized the day.”

“Ok Shakespeare, if you must do something get ready and meet me at the car in twenty.”

He didn’t know if it was going to work.

She didn’t look impressed when she stepped out of the Bentley into a puddle of mud, the only sign that it ever rained in England.

He hid the smile on his face as she frowned at the rather unamussing sight and smells of the canal on a hot today like today.

“I thought you said in the car that we were going somewhere fun.”

“I said we were going to do something fun. Two very different things my dear.”

“If you think I’m swimming in The Cut is fun you’re fucking daft.” Her voice lowered, “there’s bodies in there Tom. That you put there.”

In the sunlight his laugh seemed less sadistic than it was, taking her hand and leading her along further into Charlie’s yard.

“I thought you said to loosen up a bit,” he smirked over his shoulder at her when they reached the end of the yard and it was still unclear to her what they were doing here. She was still so beautiful when she was a bit angry, he’d lips pointed, her hair blowing in the wind that she was fanning herself with as the sun seemed to beat more powerfully here.

“I might have... said something like that...” she admitted, looking around for any type of indication of what he had up his sleeve.

A simple rowboat was waiting for them, Tommy climbing on first before taking her hand and helping her on.

“A boat? I thought you were in the Army, not the navy. You know how to steer this thing?” Skeptically she took a seat, watching him sit across from her and put his hands on the oars.

“Shut up woman and let me impress you,” he leaned to kiss her before moving them from the docks and paddling out farther.

It really was the perfect solution to a hot day; a nice breeze cooling them, the salt spray of the water sizzling against their skin.

“I bet you’ve never seen the canal like this.” He watched her face change from skepticism to awe as they emerged into the middle of the canal, nothing but trees and nature and wildlife around them, the water sparkling blue, the sun reflecting its warm rays on them.

“It’s beautiful.” She was speechless. Who knew such a treasure was hidden in the heart of Birmingham.

It was peaceful. It was calming. The two of them just soaked in the sun, paddled around a bit, Tommy even showing her how to move the oars and steer the little vessel. He had snuck a picnic basket on as well, making it the perfect day ever.

“Was this up to your standards of a fun day?” He smiled at her, popping a grape into his mouth. She stretched towards the sun and sighed contently.

“It beat my expectations. You never fail to surprise me. That’s why I love you.”

Just as they leaned in for a deep kiss, she felt a slight drop of rain.

“Uh, Tommy...”

“Yeah, I felt it to, we’d better go,” mere inches from her face he pushed a piece of stray hair off her sweaty cheek, not wanting to move. He couldn’t help himself, kissing her deeply until the sky opened up and dumped its usual bucket of rain onto them in the middle of the lake until they were soaking wet, and laughing about it, and in unconditional love.

I’m posting from my phone and I’m sorry if it is set up so bad, I don’t know how to put titles and whatnot
