The Look that Welcomes Me Home!

Why go anywhere else after Work?

By Jay LeTron DobbinsPublished 4 years ago 3 min read

This day, like all the others came with confusion, and battles with the next person. From fighting traffic to going back and forth in office politics, trying to prove who is right and who is wrong for an extra $1000 jump in pay come review time. Yes the day may have many challenges and various events to keep me off tract, but somehow at the end of the day, seeing your face keeps me on the opposite side of a heart attack.

I can worry about a thousand things, a million times! Somehow, seeing you at the end of the day give me hope for a brighter tomorrow. The hours at work seem longer, as if the minute hand is playing games with me. Kathrine, why are you handing me reports that are due by 5pm at 4:30; don't you know at home I have a greater person to see? This tie is hurting my neck and this shirt is getting tight, these progress reports cannot disrupt my night.

However, there you stand. With a lovely smile and a look that says please take my hand. Your sweet smell and the smoothness of your butter pecan type skin, give me confirmation as to why I come home again and again. When the night cold comes as we retire for the evening's rest and relaxation, being next to you gives me chills and I don't need a Play Station.

Breakfast in the mornings are always special and never one to forget! I'm glad you gave me the chance to be a part of your life and now we can smile on lazy days as we sip orange juice and Moet. Too bad there's work to do today, so I'll be on my way! Often when I leave you, I so badly want to stay! There goes your hand, gently smacking me on my bottom; with a whisper in my ear saying "baby, don't worry, you got 'em". Now I'm walking out the house and Clark Kent can't even get next to me. However, I still count the hours because I can't wait for you to get next to me.

Traffic on 635 and this bumper to bumper and 85 MPH is a complete mess. I turn on the radio and a shot out from you, couple with a song telling me that I am above the stress. Got into work, and let the circus begin. Kathrine has no words, but I'm sure she will hand me a request for multiple reports to be due before the day ends. Maybe I need to get a dog, or take 20 Tabaco breaks, some excuse to talk to you, I'll do whatever it takes. Lunch time came up and the building lost it's power! If my chances are good, I could see you within the next two hours. Back inside and I hope my work auto saved or I will have to start all over. Thought about sending you a surprise, some "just because" flowers and some candy to relax you the right way before the day is over.

4:40 and the day is slightly in the books. Damn, there goes Kathrine, giving me that strange and too familiar look. "Hell No, Kathrine!" for the 50, 11th time and now you handing me some more reports! Little did she know, I sent me Luv some flowers and we have dinner reserved, just outside the city, where all the daters court. Received a text from you, with a picture that just blew my mind! Katherine still looking at me, but I have thoughts of Devil, get behind! Gave "Kat" a look and told her "See you later!". I have a date with a woman, that has much more beauty and soul greater than the best show on a Broadway theater!
