Setting? Development? Resolution?
I could hear the inner wheels of Georg's mind grinding as he laid silently next to me, both of us facing opposite directions with only the smalls of our backs touching.
I sat up holding the comforter up to my chest as if to shield me from the vulnerability ahead. I turned and spoke to his back, “I knew this would happen the minute I saw the back of your head.”
He picked up his head and rested his chin on his shoulder. “What?”
“Well, actually… I knew this would happen when I first saw your back…in your fabulously sexy, dark-navy suit with the silver pinstripes…then I saw the back of your head. But, still, I knew.”
Still confused, Georg now swiveled his body counter-clockwise to lie facing me on his side. “You knew what?...From what…my head? All I heard was that you think I’m fabulously sexy,” he let the last word trail off slowly like he used to do in class when using sarcasm to get his point across, only this time, it was seductive, luring me back down next to him.
I let go of my death grip on the comforter and slid back down on my side into his open arms and nestled up close to his chest. We were now looking into each other’s eyes.
“When I walked into Albert Hall, while I was focused on finding Room Six, you were hunched over at the water bubbler. I couldn’t help but say to myself, ‘Wow. Who is this with the phenomenal taste? He's a student here?’ You then stood up straight and walked into the next room. I only saw the back of you head. But, I knew. The salt-and-pepper hair was a dead giveaway.”
As he kissed my forehead, he muttered, “I still have no idea what you are talking about. Are you calling me fabulously sexy again?”
To be continued…

Hi Connie_
I am so excited you stopped by the blog!
You always have ridiculously fresh perspective that is out of this world.
Thank you for wanting to read more...
And, no, he isn't Bostonarcissist -- Bostonarcissist was never that inspiring.

Hi Danielle_
Thanks for your super fantastic compliment...I am blushing...
Part two should be done by mid week...I am behind...and have been un-inspired to write about my muse.
It's hard to write about someone who thinks of you "as a friend" -- but, isn't that was fiction is all about --- I get to create the universe!
Thanks for stopping by -- come back soon!
