Want to Spoon?

Transcript

Hey. Hey, wake up. I know, it's like two in the morning.

Listen, I just got here. Yeah, my flight landed about, oh, I don't know, 30 minutes ago. It's about how long it took for the Uber to get here.

Thanks for letting me know where the key was. So, you know, I really didn't have to wake you. Um, what's this mystery sleeping arrangement that you were, that you had in mind? I mean, that couch is, it looks nice, but, uh, it's a little short for me.

Uh, oh, you want me to get in bed. Okay. All right.

Hold on. Well, let me get myself, uh, situated here. Yeah, no, the flight was, it was fine.

Very chill. Not too many people. I've been on a number of red eyes lately where it's like, you know, there are like maybe 20 people on the whole flight.

Everybody has their own row. And for some reason that's where like, that's where all of the creative thoughts and ideas can just come in. Cause I have a lot of, a lot of difficulty, uh, sleeping on flights as you can imagine.

All right. Scooch over. Oh, glad you have this huge bed.

It's nice and comfy. Yes. The sorcerer has arrived.

No, I, uh, I didn't really have much planned for this trip, except I just wanted to hang out with you. I mean, you know, there are a few other friends that I got to go see for obligation, but really deep down, the only person that I'm excited to see is you. I like what you've done with your place.

Yeah. You definitely have, uh, embraced the feng shui. Is that how you pronounce that feng shui feng shui? And yeah, the, the artistry, I can really see how this, this place is, uh, it really reflects you.

It feels nice. It's like I walk in the door and my whole body just relaxes. You want to come in for a snuggle? All right.

Get over here. Oh, Oh yeah. I really like these pajamas.

Yeah. They're so soft. Hmm.

Yeah. I'm still pretty wired. Actually.

I don't know something about the, the faint cigarette smell of the Uber and that driver was just, he, he was wired. He was, he, he was chatty. He had some things to talk about.

I got the whole rundown of his family and his job and why he was moonlighting and like driving. Yeah. Nice guy, but a little difficult to stay, stay with it when it kind of walking, uh, sleepless zombie.

Can I tell you something? How long have we known each other? A long time.

I mean, it's really, it's good to see you after just seems so long. Yeah. It's weird how things just kind of aligned like that.

It's like both of us went through a breakup and I don't know. Yeah. The pain of it has been real.

It's been, uh, kind of, you know, stuff like that kind of takes the wind out of your sails. At least it does for me. It's like feeling like I just don't have the, the power that I used to.

It's like taking a hit. It's just, you know, confidence suffers. Just feeling like nobody's really all that attracted to me.

Well, yeah, I mean like there's a lot that goes into having a person, you know, it's like, it's like having a person who knows who, who knows you and has shown you that they really, uh, really love you for all of your, all of your pieces. And then when that falls apart, it's just like, Oh, well, fuck. Like, will I ever find anything like that again? I don't know.

I do really like the way you smell. What'd you get up to today? Oh, gardening.

Well, I don't know. I mean, maybe it's the lavender or rosemary or I don't know. I did notice that herb garden.

It's brand new, right? Yeah. It's beautiful.

Mind if I spoon you? Cool. All right.

Okay. All right. So how come you've never invited me to your bed before? Okay.

That's fair. I, I definitely would not have, uh, I, I wouldn't have been open to the idea either. I, I know.

I am looking forward to hanging out with you tomorrow. That, uh, that drive that you have planned out into the wilderness. It, it's, it's going to be fun.

Although, uh, I hope we're not leaving too early. Cause we got to sleep in seriously. Yeah.

I would love a cup of coffee in the morning. Look at you being all homemaker. What are you doing? Wiggling your butt like that? Okay.

Listen, I do need to sleep. It's, it's been, I've been awake for like, I don't know, 20 hours. Fine.

No, no. I'm, I'm somehow being in this bed with you. I am wired again.

No, there's no way I'm going to sleep. Especially with the way that you just mold into me like that. Yeah.

We've, we, we spoon real well. Almost too well. Oh no, no, no.

No, it's, I mean, I can feel how smooth your skin is too. Is that okay? It's just like the middle of the night, but it feels so, it feels almost magical.

Like your skin is sort of, I don't know, glowing in a way. I can feel it if I close my eyes. No, I really like how your hair's tickling my face.

I can kind of bury my face in it. I like how my beard just collects hairs like Velcro. Did I mention that I missed you? Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, work has been intense. A lot of moving pieces.

And I never feel like I quite have it all, you know, like, like I, there are some days when I just feel like I'm not, not quite getting everything that I want to get done. And, and I just know that I need to take a rest. And it's in those moments that, you know, you know, lying down or going for a walk or getting out to the woods when you just kind of drift into my brain.

And it's always the same scene too. Do you remember, I don't know, we were at that, we were at that pool party, you know, with Jack and his friends. And the sun was setting.

And I was at, I was at the barbecue, you know, starving. And I'm taking a drink from my beer. And I look over.

And it's like this. It's like time stood still for just a minute. I don't think you even remember this.

But you were in your bathing suit. And it was like something electric just happened. I looked over and you looked right back at me at the exact same time.

And we locked eyes. And behind you was the purple and red sky. And it was reflecting off of your hair a little bit.

And as I was looking at you, you, your hair sort of blew into your face and you, you know, you blew it away like that way you do and then got a little frustrated and then moved your hand up to take it out of your face. Then you giggled at me. And then you know, I don't even remember who, but somebody called to you and, and the moment was gone.

But that's the moment that I think of. Whenever, you know, whenever I'm thinking about you. It's like this unspoken kind of magic.

Now look, if you keep pressing into me like that, I am. I may not be able to manage this friend boundary that we have. But I'm going to do my best to super well.

I'm serious. What are you teasing me? Oh, yeah.

Well, I mean, you're bringing out the the the tiger. What do you want me to do? You know, I can feel your heartbeat from here.

I can feel how you're breathing is, you know, it's like you're breathing with me. But we've always had that. It's not weird.

It's like when we're hanging out, we just suddenly sync up. It's like we look at each other the same time. We move in the same way.

Like if I move my fingers down your arm like this. You see, you just naturally turn your hand and move back to meet my fingers without even my asking you to. You just respond.

And that's magical. I mean, just feeling met in that way. I guess that's why we're best friends, right? Just kissing your cheek.

Oh, tickling your earlobe a little bit with my beard. Yeah, why don't you? It is getting super warm in here.

I mean, I don't know. You live here. I like cold weather.

Okay. Back those hips up. Look, this is, this is almost, this is getting to be too much.

I don't think I can be in this bed with you and not succumb to my, just the things I've been thinking about a long time with you. So either you can quit that wiggling and we can try and sleep or yeah, I know you can feel how turned on I am, but I'm being respectful. Oh, well, yes, ma'am.

Then let's take off these pajama bottoms. You know, there's something about.
