U is for Umbrella
“What?” Brian growled out as he and Justin strolled along Liberty Ave. Brian
could feel Justin’s eyes on him as they walked.
“Nothing,” Justin said quickly.
“Hmm,” Brian harrumphed.
As they strolled further along, Justin peeked up through his lashes at Brian.
“What?” Brian asked again.
“What what?” Justin teased.
“You know you can be very annoying,” Brian said with a scowl.
“So I have been told,” Justin replied unrepentant. Justin stifled a giggle as
they continued up the avenue; Brian was becoming more bristly.
“Justin Taylor, I swear to the gods that I will turn you over my knee as soon as
we’re home,” Brian said with a stern voice and narrowed eyes.
“Promise?” Justin asked. His face was suddenly flushed and sporting a
mischievous smile. Brian shook his head as he rolled his eyes.
“I’m serious Justin, what’s up with you?” Justin heard the serious tone in
Brian’s voice and knew he had reached the limits of his patience. Justin gave
Brian a genuine smile.
“It’s nothing Brian.” Brian frowned. “Really. It’s just…” Justin stopped
walking, then turned to face the taller man. Brian’s face softened as he looked
deeply into the ocean blue eyes that had darkened under the shade of their huge
umbrella.
Brian lifted Justin’s chin with a finger then bent to kiss the full lips. He
gently savored the taste of Justin’s tender lips. Their kiss deepened, hidden
from view by the canopy of their umbrella.
“I love you,” Brian whispered as he hugged Justin closer. Justin beamed a smile
that rivaled the sun that Brian was protecting Justin from with his oversized
umbrella. “Let’s go home,” Brian said as he snaked his arm across Justin’s
shoulder. Justin slipped his arm around Brian’s waist.
The lovers turned to leisurely stroll on Liberty Avenue back to the loft and
shaded from the sun.
