thats me away now

Like a human cupboard Ruth folded her inside parts back in. Dressing herself item by item she wilfully faded away her amorality away again. Where once her lips engulfed penis now only the expanse of Joes' cheek remained accessible.

She let her eyes still glitter and allowed herself one last soft slack spacey smile remembering how half an hour ago he had wiped her down after their lovemaking and had lifted her into the warm bath, patting her dry when she had done. The state of her in the water... - 'How are you feeling' asked Joe. 'Oh' she said softly and tried again 'Oh I'm put so much in heaven it's hard to make words. Help me out and make me a coffee, three sugars.'

Sitting there feeling the settee beneath her, both her hands cupping the hot mug...

'You're high' said Joe 'Yes' said Ruth 'praise be.'

Briskly now she pocked his cheek. 'Bye' she tweeted 'be good and take care.' And as she walked now so briskly and wee-wifiely down the stair on her way to take the 44 to Barbaras' Joe remembered her smile - her smile that made him want to cry.
