Lazy Sunday

Richard didn't need to open his eyes the following morning to know that the woman he had gone to bed with was already awake before him. He felt the shift in the of the weight that had been in the bed next to him which was now at the bottom of the bed instead. He could also smell the cigarette smoke that was hanging in the air. He appreciated the fact that if she was going to smoke, she at least smoked cigarettes of a higher quality that didn't seem as badly as the cheap ones did.

Charlotte was a companion that he had known for four years now. A woman who was of similar taste to him and he didn't have to worry about wanting more than a hookup with him every now and again when they happened to be in the same area. A woman who stood at a decent height of 5'8 with auburn hair that went slightly below her shoulders but that was always styled in a way that gave an air of a professional businesswoman. She had a heart shaped face with sharp green eyes which rested above a set of bow shaped lips which were always covered in a shade of dark lipstick that complimented the tone of her skin, except for on morning such as this.

"How long are you going to keep laying there?" Charlotte asked as he felt her stand up from where she had been sitting at the bottom of the bed.

"Hmm.. It's a Sunday, I think I am allowed to take some time to enjoy the morning." Richard mumbled, opening his lips when he felt the cigarette that had been placed against them. The only time that he smoked was around her as well. He didn't want to make it a bad habit as he didn't believe it was very fitting for a businessman with strong ambitions as he had.

"I have never known you to take time to enjoy anything. The only time you take to being this quiet is when you have something on your mind that you don't want to take about." Charlotte retorted, staring at the man still in bed as he opened his eyes to look at her with his own golden ones.

"You know me too well, but as of right now there is nothing to talk about because I haven't made my own decision about the current situation." He replied sitting up as he pulled the cigarette out of his mouth in order to blow out the smoke. The woman was standing with her arms crossed across her chest as she continued to stare at him. Richard didn't miss the fact that she was still completely naked. She wasn't bad to look at in his opinion. She was neither skinny nor fat, but the weight on her body made her look full which complimented her height and face. Her breasts were of a decent size with areolas that were slightly larger than was normal for woman but he quite liked as they darkened nicely whenever he sucked or nipped them. He was a man who liked to see marks the following morning on the woman he had bedded the night before. Hickes, bruises, red marks, it didn't matter to him just anything that left his mark on them that he could admire. With Charlotte, the marks left were always around her collar bone, partly because he owned the way she moaned when he nipped and sucked on the skin around her collar bone, the sound delighted his sense. But it was also because he took a small amount in delight of annoying her by leaving marks where he knew anyone who was close enough to her would be able to see them scattered around her neck.

"If you keep staring at me like that and looking below my eyes and not listening when I'm talking to you, I might decide to not grace you with my presence anymore after this." Charlotte's cold voice cut through his thoughts brining him back to reality.

"You jest. We both know that you couldn't resist coming here to see me even if you wanted to." Richard replied as he put the cigarette out in the ashtray that was placed on the nightstand next to the bed.

"You wish that was the case, but I am sure you remember what happened last time you got carried away and determined that my body was more interesting than the words coming out of my mouth." She retorted. He couldn't argue with that. She was one to carry through with her treats and there was nothing that she hated more than being ignored when she was speaking even if the defense was based upon a man claiming it was because he was worshipping her body. Richard made that mistake once and Charlotte had refused to pay a visit beyond dinner for six months following this until she was certain that he understood she expected her words and mind to be respected as much as her body.

The only response Charlotte got in response to her words was a hmm from the man she knew couldn't argue with her as she sat on the bed.

"To repeat what I had said, I was asking what you had going on this week." Charlotte had already lit another cigarette after finishing the first one as she waited for the reply.

"I have work later today, a business dinner tomorrow night and I am wanted back at the club to respond to a request from Daniel." He replied, giving her no more than the basic information.

"Do you ever take more than day off or is it your intention to work yourself to death?"

"I will take time off in the future, right now you know most days are busy because of the time of year and I am in high demanding. Part of the reason why I am considering accepting Daniel's offer. With the extra money, I could considering cut back a few hours from my day job and perhaps have more time for fun."

"Like you need the extra money." Charlotte scoffed, shaking her head.

"I am well off. I can still reach being rich or perhaps even filthy rich if I keep working at this rate by the time I am thirty-four or thirty-five." Richard replied coolly. "Nothing wrong with wanting to make sure I am well off for the future."

"you're too much. Let's just forget ambition for now and plan on having a lazy Sunday morning until you have to get back to work."

"That doesn't sound bad to me, especially if you intend to make breakfast." Richard agreed as he stood up, not dressed himself as he intended to take a shower before he bothered with clothes.

"I do not find such jokes amusing. If you want food, you order it or make it yourself. I am not here to be your maid." Charlotte replied, telling him off as he left the bedroom, intending on heading to the guest bathroom where she could take her own shower and change into some spare clothes, she always brought with her.

"It never hurts to hope." Richard called back as he headed to take his own shower.
