An afternoon Matt-inee I was making coffee. The instant type. Measuring spoonfuls of coffee powder, sugar, creamer. Waiting for the kettle to whistle. Matt was sitting on the sofa, by the window, leaving through this month's 'Women's Weekly'. "Do you women really believe this stuff?" he said. "How else can the cosmetics industry be a multi-billion dollar industry?" I said. Then I looked up from the mugs at him. He's just had a swim. He's been swimming regularly, so he's a little tanned. He says he is due for a hair-cut. But I like it longish, esp when it is slicked back like this. Wet. I imagined little droplets of water hanging onto his hair ends before they make dark blotches on his white, cotton shirt. He got that from East India. I helped pick it. The top 2 buttons opened. No chest hair. (*Sigh* you win some, you lose some) He has on faded jeans that are torn at the knees and heels. His favourite. Mine too. Lanky. That's the word. It fits him. 6 feet, he insists. Nah, only 5 feet 11 inches, I insist. He hates that - when I cut him down to size. Can you work out for a bit of a chest? I've asked him before. Yeah, after you, he replied. He senses me staring. He turns to me and motions, "What?" before he checks his shirt for anything suspicious. I bring the coffee over and tuck myself beside him. He takes a sip. I continue watching him from behind the swirls of vapour. "What?" he narrows his eyes. "Nothing," I smile, tracing the dark wet blotches on his shirt with my index finger, "There's just ... some thing I want to do." "What?" Mr Doofus asks again. I lean closer. "Oh, that!" he says and breaks into a wide grin. "Are you sure?" I roll my eyes, "Oh, just shut up." He laughs, pulls me near. And we kiss. Then, I laugh. Not just that it was good kiss, a damn good kiss. But because I finally could. --- THE END* --- *couldn't resist putting that in. wink. | |

I'll paste work here periodically. But none of them will be real client work - just my own initiates and doodling.

awesome ad of the week |
G-Day Coffee TVC. Scene opens on guy trying to slide down a dry water slide. He gets stuck. He finally manages to squeak all the way down. TVC ends with him savouring a mug of G-Day coffee and the tag "Save water for G-Day coffee". A bit unreal but I love the humour. And the talent, the Each Other actor (I forgot his name), is super. He makes it work. |
