I Need You to Explain Yourself

I had a dream about you last night.

I know this because at 4:18 this morning I opened the Notes app on my phone and typed:

Patio. Wine. Grass shirt. His hand on my leg. Lacey inside.

That was it. I went back to sleep and found it this morning while I was waiting for the coffee to finish.

I remembered the whole thing about halfway through my first cup and immediately wished I hadn’t haha… oh goodness. 🌹

The patio was the one at our Airbnb. I had actually sat out there for a little while before bed, drinking wine in that oversized “grass” T-shirt. In the dream, I went back outside and you were sitting in the other chair with my wine in your hand.

I have no idea how you got there. I didn’t ask.

I couldn’t see your whole face either. I remember gray in your hair, rolled sleeves, and your hand wrapped around my glass. I knew it was you anyway.

You kept looking at my legs. I kept pulling the shirt down. Eventually you asked why I was bothering.

“Because it’s riding up.”

“You’re the one pulling it up.”

I looked down and realized I was.

So that was embarrassing.

I reached for my wine, and you held the glass far enough away that I had to lean across you. Your other hand landed on my knee. I noticed. You noticed that I noticed. Neither of us said anything about it.

Then you asked if Lacey was asleep.

“I think so.”

“You think so?”

“She was when I came outside.”

You moved your hand a little farther up my leg. I should probably mention that dream-me had gone out there without underwear because apparently she was planning ahead.

Your fingers reached the bottom of the shirt.

I looked toward the window and said, “She’s going to catch us.”

You asked if I wanted you to stop.

I said no.
