Unicorns a Handful of Maybe’s
Uni had decided on a new way to keep himself interesting to Jola, he thought to himself, “He had a new plan and a handful of maybe's.” It was a perhaps, last ditch way to win back his beloved wife’s love, and he was desperate enough to clutch at any straws that presented themselves.
When Jola woke up early the next morning, Uni was already up, and has a special breakfast cooking, scrambled eggs with piles of clover, when she had finished they both washed up, splashing each other with suds and laughing so hard they had to sit to regain their breath, before Jola was ready to be picked up for work. It was the happiest morning she could remember, and her smile lasted all day.
She had asked her boss if she could work from home, and she had said yes, so that afternoon when she arrived home from work, she found Uni waiting for her, and they shared a shower together. He had bought a big, red heart shaped soap, and a luxurious, soft as down towel, and together they played like children, squealing and laughing, and when they had finished he dried her off. The new towel felt heavenly, and so did his hands when he decided that the towel was unnecessary, and then followed it up with talc, at first he put almost nothing on her, but when she asked for more, he poured it on, she looked like a snowman, and laughed at herself in the mirror, and then shook herself like a dog, getting it all over Uni and the whole bathroom.
Uni put his shorts on to come out of the bathroom, Jola just wore her new towel, she liked the feeling of it against her skin so much, and while Kasandra watched TV, Uni turned on the CD player and he and Jola began to dance, just gently moving to the sound, holding each other tightly.
The next day was Saturday, and Uni had spent more of his money to buy Jola A sexy new jogging outfit. It fitted perfectly, and showed her figure wonderfully, she loved the black clothes and the new gym shoes so much that she hugged Uni for almost 10 minutes before she would let him go, and they left the house together, looking into each others eyes, and jogged along the beach together. Jola started to race him and just won, she knew he had let her win, but she just kissed him hard on the lips
She had already figured out her big, gentle husband’s plan, but she loved the way he was treating her, romancing her, making her feel special, loving her with all his heart, so much that she never wanted him to stop.
On Sunday he had bought her a new gym outfit, pink this time, and matching gym shoes. Against her dark skin it looked superb, and Uni looked and looked, until she pointed out that he was staring, but he still looked out of the corner of his eyes until he ran into the side of the door on their way outside. She laughed so hard, that she was almost in tears, and Uni started to laugh too. They sat in the doorway holding each other, tears of laughter rolling down their cheeks.
Jola had been to the gym often, but this was Uni’s first time, at first all eyes were on Jola, and he looked on proudly, but when he stripped to his shorts, everyone suddenly looked at him. Jola smiled widely, she had always known what a superb body he had, but suddenly noticed the fear in Uni’s eyes, he had always been scared of crowds, of being the centre of attention, and she hurried over to hold his hand, to let him know she was still there for him, and then showed him the machines and how to use them, until once more he was smiling again
On Monday Uni stated working again, as a child minder, the money was so small that she knew he must have already spent all of his meagre savings on her already, but he was so happy with children, and they all loved him so much, she had never asked him to stop. He was up before her again, cooking breakfast, toast with some nice garden plants he had found, but as she left, and he kissed her, the first of his children arrived, and ran to hug him, she knew there were about twenty in all, and a new one starting today.
When she arrived home he was sitting in their easy chair with a tiny baby in his arms, it was fast asleep and he held his finger to his lips to let her know not to make any noise and wake her. Kasandra lay asleep on the floor beside him, her hand touching his foot, it was where she felt comfortable, Jola knew this from experience. Uni moved to the side and let Jola slip in beside him, and she looked at the baby girl with love in her eyes.
When their parents came to take their children home, Uni started to prepare the next thing in his list to romance Jola, but she looked him in the eyes and said , “It is my turn to take something from my handful of maybe’s.” And as his eyes widened in surprise, she kissed him, grabbed his hand and led him into their bedroom, “It’s time for the herd to grow. I think it will be a filly again.”
Uni would have stood and looked at her all day as she slowly, sexily undressed, but she gave him no choice, and a few minutes later she turned the lights off, and the sounds of Jola’s giggles and squeals came from behind the locked door.
