Sherry had been working in the special part of her garden

into the mid afternoon when she decided to quit for the

day and have a bath.

"Honey, will you draw me a bath, please? I am going to

check my e-mail."

"Sure, Lover. I live to serve M'lady" he playfully

said as he kissed her hand on the way to the bathroom.

"I'll start dinner, too. OK?"

"OK."

She slipped out of her dirty jeans as her e-mail

appeared on the screen. She sat down and noticed 3

e-mails from friends.

"Steve, honey. We have some messages you will like to

see. Come and have a look."

He emerged from the bathroom and read the e-mails.

"Thanks, Honey, good stuff from our friends.

"Is that all you have to say?"

"Yes, about the e-mails. My mind is on the way you look

out of your jeans. He started to unbutton her sweaty

work shirt from behind and said "Maybe the look will be

complete if we take off your shirt, too."

He undid the last button and kissed her neck softly.

"I love you, Sherry."

"I love you, too, Steve."

They kissed and held each other tight. She stood and

kissed him in a way only a woman in love can kiss her

man.

His kiss said the same thing.

He picked her up and carried her to her bath. The

vanilla scent of the bubble bath filled the room.

She stepped into the tub with an invitation for him to

join her.

"Dinner will need about another hour so I think we

have the time." He laid his clothes down next to hers

and sat in the tub behind her with a sponge and began

to wash her back.

"What did you do in the garden today?"

"Oh, not much. I mostly got a few weeds and looked at

the flowers.

"Sounds like you had a nice time."

"I did. Let's have a look together after dinner. It

looks wonderful."

"I'll bet it does with all the attention you give it.

It is more beautiful when you are there. You are so

beautiful to me, Honey."

She squeezed his arm and felt her love for him bring

some tears to her eyes.

"Get some soap in your eyes?"

"No, just some joy in my heart."

"Want me to wash your heart, too?"

"No, Silly. I like the way it feels."

"Me, too for you."
