Even though I’ve kept it warm for you all day between doing homework and little chores, I’m too hot to care. I latch onto your hand and pull you ...up the stairs. You love seeing me so excited, and for a moment, let me take a bit of control. Secretly, I know you love that. We have our routine, but when I sit you down on the bed, don’t think I notice the way you adjust yourself in your slacks, pulling gently over the rise of your crotch. I bet you’re doing it now, aren’t you? You always told me. After a while, which seemed eternal for me, the door opened. I could feel Poonam came inside.Poonam: Adi, are you awake yet?Me: (acting sheepishly) Yes, Baby, trying to sleep surely. Why?Poonam: I wanted to talk to you.Saying this, she came and sat on the bed. And I also woke up and sat on the bed.Poonam: Can I please spend some more time with Girish?Me: You have already spent a lot of time together. Why more, baby?Poonam: I guess, no more use in hiding anything.Me: What is that? And I don’t. I went to town on those foundation piers. I drilled out holes for half-inch retaining bolts in the six-by-sixes I wanted to use for edge beams, then I dug out holes for retaining bolts and epoxied them into the piers after tapping the bolts through the beams. I kind of built the floor backwards. I used joist hangers to string the floor supports from the sides to the center six-by-six on twelve inch centers, then stapled vapor barrier to the bottoms of the beams. Then I filled the voids with. As I closed the door behind me, I turned around and she was right in front of me. She took off her shirt and she was standing there in her bra looking me in the eyes. No words were said as she laid face down on the bed. I sat on the side of the bed and began to massage her back and shoulders while she laid there. She asked if her bra was getting in the way. I laughed nervously and said yes. She asked if she should take it off and I said, "yes if you feel comfortable doing that." She then stood.
