I can't believe it, I found a Carpe Diem T-shirt today, see the picture above! You will have to read the story to find out why I'm so excited.
That soft weary voice on the phone, so endearing and tantalising in his begging, and yet she can't resist the urge to drag on and play him because that's what he wants, that's what she wants, whether she admits it to herself or not.
“Izzie? Are you in bed? I can't see.”
She moves the phone camera around, she’s indeed sitting on the bed. “Izzie who?”
“My morning star,” he responds like it’s the only possible answer.
“Good god, what do you need so badly?”
“Can you count me down? Please?”
Who can say no, when he is pleading like that, looking like the original sin, all bundled up in a white hotel robe, propped on one elbow, the other hand combing through the wet hair, trying to look better for her? Is it even humanly possible to look better than that? “You know, there are phone lines with professionals for that.”
“I can't dial those numbers from my phone. Besides, I want to hear your voice.”
“How sweet. From a hundred?”
“More like from twenty.”
“I see, already warmed up. Give me one good reason why should I.”
“I had a rough day. “
“When don't you?”
“When I get to talk to you at the end of the day.”
“My, my, such a blatant suck up.”
“Touch you at the end of the day.“
“What else?”
“Are you wet?” Nick asks.
“Nope.”
“Check now.“
Her hand slides under the covers. She quickly wipes her fingers and wiggles her hand in front of the phone. “Not even the slightest.”
“I just saw you wiping your fingers.”
“Oh, did you now?”
“Will you come for me? “
“Not today,” Izzie replies, and gets a happy giggle from Nick. “Why are you giggling, numpty?” She didn’t call him a numpty for so long, it short-circuits his already struggling brain.
“It was a perfunctory ask.” Nick confesses with ease, despite the voice in his head calling him a numbnut, she can kill you for less, you daft git. Let me be, Nick pleads to the voice, for once she accepts me for what I am. Let me be.
“When you want the answer to be ‘no’. You are such an –"
“Manipulative narcissist?” he asks, and she lets it slide too.
“An arse.”
“That I am. I hate when you come without me.”
“I hate that too. Go on. Carpe diem, Nicky.”
“I will carpe diem your brains out when I'm back.”
“You will, Nicky.”
“You will be begging for me to stop.”
“Yes, I will.”
“Why am I doing all the talking?” Nick whines an octave higher, breaking the character.
“Because that's what you do for a living,” she coos.
“I do, I do,” he’s back on track.
“Because your mouth is not otherwise occupied.”
“Sadly.” Nick's camera falls and stays pointed at the ceiling.
“Nick?”
“Yes, ma'am.”
“No further questions. Tits?”
“Yes, please.”
She pulls her t-shirt over her head. Throws her hair over one shoulder. “Ready, cowboy?” Silence. “Can't believe how easy you are.”
“Izzie.”
“Yes, that's what I said, easy.”
“Iz!”
