066- Beer

I’ve only been in Scotland for a few weeks but Johnny really makes me feel like I’ve been here for my entire life. It’s funny how close we’ve become in such a short amount of time. Well it might not be “funny” but it really is surprising. It’s really nice to be able to see his softer side. He’s still kind of rude and has a huge ego but I don’t think we’d be as close as we are now if he weren’t like that.
I stepped through the doorway to a small shop and I’m in awe. Johnny thought I’d like this old shop and he’s right, it’s really beautiful. There are shelves upon shelves of Scottish literature. There were old beautiful oak table with jewelry and music boxes, even old mirrors and antique brushes. It was amazing sight to take in. I looked through the clothing that littered the racks and laughed at how silly some of them looked. I wish Johnny could be here but I can’t blame him because work is always going to keep him busy. But I’m sure sitting behind that desk might be a bit lonesome.
I let out a sigh as I ran my fingers over an old music box. It was nice and smooth, it even shined. I opened the lid to hear a soft melody almost as if it were a lullaby. It was really beautiful. I opened the drawers to see a beautiful bronze pocket watch with the etching of scales. I moved it a bit to see a beautiful necklace. It was bronze on the outside and in the center was a beautiful auburn gem.
“Excuse me?” I called out to the man behind the counter. “Would you mind telling me how much these two items are?” I asked him. When he gave me an answer I was disappointed to hear they were out of my price range, as a pair. So I decided to get one now and then buy the other one later.
I got to Johnny’s just as it was starting to be dark. I walked through the long hallways to finally reach his office area. I poked my head through the door to see he had his feet up on his desk, his hands were folded on his lap and his eyes were shut and relaxed. He was fast asleep. I let out a giggle and walked over as quietly as I could. I placed a small box next to him on his desk and walked out of the room. Walking through the hallways I let out a sigh and craved one of Johnny’s beers. The taste is really soothing. I walked into the kitchen and pulled out a few cans of beer and took them to the room I was staying in.
I took in a deep breath as I finished one can. I look at a book I had found in Johnny’s library. It was a classic play of old English literature. It made me giggle because I doubt he ever actually read this play.  I laughed as I picture him acting out a scene.
“Johnny playing Romeo? Get real” I said loudly. I drank the next can and started to feel sleepy. But all I could do was giggle as I fell asleep.
I woke up to the sound of someone knocking at the door. By a force of habit I only said “come in” even though I was still half asleep and unaware of whom it was that was knocking. I heard someone open the door and com inside. They didn’t say anything just walk closer towards me. I groaned as I sat up and tried to see who it was. Before my vision had cleared up I felt my hand being lifted and soft cool lips touching the back of my hand.
“Johnny?” I said a little groggily.
“Thank you for my gift.” He said to me.
“I’m glad you like it.” I said with a yawn. “It made me think of you the second I saw it.”
I tried to look directly at him too see if he had a smile on his face. I could see his white teeth even in the darkness of the room. I smiled and put my hand on his cheek. My vision cleared up and I could see how sincere his eyes looked. There was no lust, nor his usual ego getting in the way. It was really nice to see his kindness shine through.
“You know this might be the alcohol in my system talking but you’re really cute and sweet.” I told him with a giggle.
“No that’s just you being honest with yourself.” He said with a chuckle. There was the Johnny I had gotten to know. I relaxed back into the pillows for a moment then reached for Johnny’s hand. “This might be a selfish request of me but would you sleep here for the night? No sex… just you being here?” I asked him. He stayed silent for a moment but I let go of his hand which made him let out a deep breath.
“Just this once. “ He told me. I could hear him taking off his shirt. The buttons rubbing against the shirt was rough sounding. He climbed into the bed and threw a blanket on over the top of us. My face got a bit warm as he wrapped his arms around my stomach. I smiled then giggled as I felt his heart starting to beat faster.
“Calm down. We’re just sleeping.” She said with a yawn.
“I can’t help it. I usually do something before I sleep with anyone like this.”
“Then go do jumping jacks.” I said with a smirk on my face.
He let out a groan and laid on his back. I chuckled and turned to lay into his side. My put an arm on his chest to get comfortable and he put his hand on top of mine. He was really warm and comfortable.  I started to smile as I closed my eyes.
“Johnny?” I said slowly starting to fall back asleep.
“Yeah?”
“Thank you.” I said right before I fell asleep.
