I have everything that I want to do written as a list on my phone. I mapped out everywhere that I wanted to go, and kept it a secret from Max. It’s been hard to do so, though.
Last night, he came home and after we ate dinner, he tried to tickle torture me until we ended up wrapped up in one another like crazed teenagers.
We’ve slept in separate rooms, despite the want and desire building up, but I’ve wanted to get to know him before I planned to sleep with him—again.
We get into the elevator and before he can press for the garage, I press for the street level and he looks at me with a confused look.
“I have my plans and it doesn’t entail that we drive around in your car.” I tell him holding up my phone.
“So, how will we get to wherever that you want to go?” he questions.
“Public transportation and our own two feet.” I smile. “They’re made for walking you know.”
He nods slowly and then looks at his feet.
“And that’s just what they’ll do. Good thing that I’m wearing my comfortable shoes.” He rolls back and forth on his feet. “So, where to first?”
I open up my phone, smile and point up the street, away from the bay.
“We are fifteen minutes away from our destination,” I turn my face to him and smile.
“Walking, right?” He asks.
“Yes, we can take an Uber or something after that, but I would like to walk around the city a little bit. You can see so many different things from the walking perspective that you can’t in a car.”
“Wherever you go, I will follow.” He grabs my hand and we start on our journey.
We take in the smells, the good and bad of Seattle. When Max almost stepped in dog poop, I nearly died of laughter with the disgusted look on his face, and then laughed even more when he actually did step in dog poop not five feet later. After cleaning off his sneakers in a nearby public restroom, and with Max likely silently cursing me for making us walk at first.
Not much longer, I came to a halt on 4th Avenue and stare up to the sky at the building in front of us.
“What’s this?” Max asks.
“Columbia Center. They have a sky view observatory and it’s supposed to have killer views. Since being in your place, I’m all about these views.” I grin.
Once we’re high up, with a panoramic view of Seattle, my breath is taken away. We have a view of everything from the mountains to the bay. It’s breathtaking and beautiful.
“Let’s take advantage of where we are, care to get a drink and something to eat?” Max asks trapping me in his arms from behind. I lean back and smile.
There’s a bar behind us, with an eager bartender waiting for us to come up to him and order something.
“I could go for a little something,” I reply.
We each get a beer and share a BBQ Chicken flatbread then admire the views.
Before leaving, Max pulls me to him and lowers his head.
He kisses me softly and pulls away.
“I want to make sure that I kiss you at every place we go to today,” he says quietly.
“Um, okay. Any particular reason?” I ask searching his eyes.
“Because I want everywhere we go, to remind me of you when you go back home. So I can look back at a location like the Columbia Center and remember that I kissed you here.”
“Ooooh, you’re good. You’re too, too good, Mr. Addison,” I push him playfully away.
“On the contrary, Mrs. Addison. You’re the first wife that I’ve ever had, I only save my cheesy lines for you.” He grins pulling me by the hand back to the elevator.
