**********************************************************************
Ryan looked at his lover and smiled. He loved watching him sleep.
It reminded him of their
first date.
**********************************************************************
Ryan looked at his new boyfriend.
"So...want to watch a movie?" His boyfriend shook his
head no.
"Well, what do you want to do?" Ryan asked.
"I want to kiss you," his boyfriend murmured softly.
Ryan nodded his head and looked into
his lover's hazel eyes. Their lips met softly and the kiss was
chaste. They parted and looked
at each other. Ryan blushed, so did his boyfriend.
"Ummm, you wanna watch that movie now?" his lover
ventured, looking down at his feet.
Ryan nodded and popped the tape in his VCR. They didn't talk or
look at each other for
the entire movie. When Ryan looked over, his lover was sound
asleep. Ryan smiled and
kissed his lover on the forehead.
"Good night babydoll." He whispered and then fell
asleep on the loveseat.
Ryan again looked at his lover, now sleeping in their bed. The
sun was just rising and he
decided not to disturb him. Ryan decided he'd go for a drive and
wrote a note to his lover.
**********************************************************************
When he awoke, the first thing he noticed was that the bed was
empty. The next thing he
noticed was the note lying on the bed next to him. It read:
Dearest,
This morning, I watched you sleep. I thought about our time
together.
I wanted to tell you something. I love you babydoll. More than
you
know. I just wanted to let you know. I dreamt about you last
night.
Not the same you're used to hearing about. Not one of those kinds
of
dreams. It was you and I. Standing at an alter. You and I
exchanging
vows. Bonding our lives together. I thought about you this
morning.
Thought about how much your love means to me. Thought about how
lucky I was to have you. I know I'm not good at saying these
things, I
can write them though. I love you dear. I thought about you
today, and
the sun shone so much brighter. I went to buy you a present.
Love,
Ryan
His "babydoll" sat down and began to cry, tears of
happiness. He wrote a note back and
drove to town.
**********************************************************************
Ryan arrived home and saw the note. He was a little vexed because
he wanted to give his
lover the present he bought him. He sat down ad read the note.
Sweetie,
I thought about you today too. I always think about you. I dream
about you all the time, sometimes lust-filled, and sometimes
sweet. I
cannot begin to describe how much you mean to me. How much I love
you. It's so much easier to write down. So much easier. But let
me
tell you something love of mine. I know I ain't beautiful, I know
I
ain't smart, but I love you more than you can know. So deeply, so
much. I just wanted to let you know. I though about you today,
and I
swear I saw a flower bloom. Something's born when another thing
loves. I love you so much. I went to town, to buy you something,
it's
not much, but I think you'll like it.
Love always,
Babydoll
Ryan smiled and awaited his lover's return.
**********************************************************************
Ryan heard the door open and he rushed to the hall. He met his
lover and embraced him
roughly.
"I got your note, it was lovely," his lover said.
"I got yours too, I feel the same." Ryan replied.
"Well, the present??" his lover asked, playfully he
knew, but it also was serious. Ryan got
down on one knee and produced a box. He proudly proclaimed
"Drew Allison Carey...will
you marry me?"
Drew began crying and said yes. They started making plans
immediately.
**********************************************************************
That was two years ago, Drew thought. I'm still in love with him.
I'm so happy I've got him.
Ryan was at Colin's and Drew had to go to town. He left a note
for Ryan.
Ryan,
I've got to make a trip into town. I love you, as much then as
now.
More than words can say. I love you so much. You know, I thought
about you today, and the sun seemed brighter, the sky seemed
bluer,
and I swear, this is the perfect life. I'm glad to be spending it
with you. I though about you today, and the entire world seems
happier.
Love,
Drew.
Drew got into his car and left.
**********************************************************************
Ryan got home and he had bought Drew a great present. He read the
note and new exactly
where to put the present. He hung it up on their kitchen wall. It
read:
I Thought About You Today. The Sun Is Brighter. The Sky Is Bluer.
I Still Love You, More Than Ever.
Ryan Stiles and Drew Carey, united in marriage July 31st
1999-Beyond the Invisible
