Caught Up

Brother got caught up.  My baby wasn’t feeling good but she needed\wanted to go to the store to pick up a few things for work.  I had a few things I needed to cook dinner so I said okay.  Just to set this up, my baby don’t walk out the “house looking any kinda way”, sick or not.  She was sick but cute. So, I am on one side of the store and she is on the other side.  As I made my way over to her, I caught a glimpse of her walking past the aisle I was walking down.  The hair on the back of my neck stood tall and my radar zeroed in on her destination.  I sped up my cart and watched her turn down another aisle.  I picked up her light flowing sweater as it wrapped gently around the end cap of some useless merchandise.  The Walmart hunt was officially on.  I pushed the cart hard to get out ahead of her next move.  I watched her turn the corner and stride whimsically down the aisle towards me.  She did not see me at first.  My eyes sent an “us” signal that she picked up.  It was amazing to watch her body language shift into Lance mode.  I froze as I watched her walk towards me with every stride spelling my name over and over.  I almost forgot to stop and pay on the way out.  She just “do” something to me.  I can’t really explain it but I know it when I feel it.  I love you sweetheart.
