I had gotten up during the middle of the night and now I'm sitting in a comfortable chair by the bed. I really hate the times that I can't seem to fall to asleep.
My mind is busy with all I did today and all I didn't do, yet meant to...Wondering what tomorrow will bring...
When tomorrow rolls around, will I have another painful, mind wrenching vision? Will I have chipped another nail, fighting some gross, smelly, slime demon?
I just know that tomorrow will be busy...I just know it! Yet, does knowing all this help me go to sleepy land? Obliviously NOT! I can't help but sigh...
I look at the sleeping form on the queen size bed. My eyes had long ago, adjusted to the darkness around me.
Maybe, it's best that I can't sleep. I'm probably smiling some dumb ass smile. I'm happy that the darkness hides the silly smile, if I'm smiling...Hmmm...Yeah, I *am* smiling. Now I feel it on my face. But really what woman wouldn't smile at what I was seeing...What I am watching...
I wonder for a moment, what Wesley would think if he knew that I enjoyed watching him? The ex-Watcher being watched. Kinda funny if you think about it.
Wesley looks so relaxed. So...So innocent...So..So young...Carefree...The lines he gets on his forehead. When he's concentrating or worrying are gone when he's asleep.
Right now...Wesley doesn't have a care in the world. No demons to fight. No vampires to slay. No bad ugly ass monster to research.
He's just sleeping...
I should be envious or angry that he can sleep while I can't. But, then I wouldn't be able to watch him, now would I?
The moonlight is caressing his face with it's glow. Even the moon is peeking into the window to watch the ex-Watcher sleep...
Must say, the moon has good taste. Wesley is sexy. Even when he's sleeping, he's hot...Incredibly hot...Mouthwatering, damn he's fine!
Wesley makes a slight noise and moves his leg.
I wonder at that moment if he is dreaming. If he is dreaming, what is the dream about?
Does he dream about being a hero, saving the world, fighting good fight beside his valued friends; of boring research?
Or is he dreaming of us?
Walking hand and hand on a sandy beach? Riding off into the sunset on his motorcycle, with me holding on tight? Wesley and I making love?
What exactly fills a sexy Rogue Demon Hunter's head at night, when he dreams? Inquiring minds, really want to know!
Just look at him. Watch him. His naked chest is gently rising and falling with every soft breath he takes. His breathing is light, yet deep..Like a whisper...
I watch for a long time. He starts to move more in his sleep. The covers seem to inch a little lower across his slightly muscled form. Those covers are teasing me. They are flirting with me, letting me know that they are hiding a wondrous mystery. A treasure...
But I know what the covers are hiding from my eyes. Pure, hot, sexy male goodness! What the covers are hiding from me is wonderful indeed. A true treasure, again yes! But a mystery? No.
I truly love watching the unwatched. I truly love him...
He looks so peaceful. So sweet. So sexy...I long to reach out and touch him...Kiss him...Caress him...But then he would be awake. Not that it would be a bad thing. No, indeed, it wouldn't be....
Wesley's hand is moving across my part of the bed. Is he searching for me even in his sleep? Happiness floods over me at that thought.
I finally stand and move closer to the bed...My eyes are still fixed upon the sexy sleeping Ex-Watcher...
I notice that Wesley is slowly waking up. His eyes blink repeatedly as if trying to focus and at the same time clearing away the cob webs of sleep.
"Cordelia..." He gently whispers.
"Yeah?" For some odd reason I whisper right back at him...
"Is something wrong?"
I'm surprised that he would think something was wrong. Even in the darkness, I can see concern in his loving beautiful eyes.
"No...Wes, nothing is wrong. I'm just thinking."
"About?"
"You."
"Mm..." Wesley smiles and then adds teasingly. "All good things I hope."
"Of course."
Wesley holds out his hand to me as he whispers huskily..."Come back to bed."
I take his hand as I crawl into our bed and immediately I'm wrapped in his tender embrace. I snuggle even closer to him and lay my head upon his naked warm chest. I relax as I feel Wesley kiss the top of my head and gently run his fingers through my hair...I can also sense his eyes upon me...
Watching me....
I can't help but smile, once more, as I finally drift off to sleep.
Because for now the ex-Watcher is watching over me...
And I like that...
The End
