Eyes grow wide
once I'm inside
I'm left for what I thought was alone
Long pauses
for tha "aww's" and "ohh's"
Thinking this place is beautiful it's like I'm in a palace
"It's a beauty isn't it" are the words
that nearly made me jump from my skin
It was him
Where had he come from
"Sorry to have startled you", is replied
I shake my head to escape my stupor
respond "no it's fine I'm ok"
I also state "I was thinking exactly what you said"
That smile I love, appears
those eyes I can't escape glisten
mouth moves to talk but only smiles wider
Momentary silence
I take it upon myself to ask
what exactly his "father" had meant
Almost inaudible I ask him what was meant
He glares at me as if I insulted him
Silence yet again
I find a comfy spot on the floor
for fear of "harming" any of the furniture
I sit down and cross my legs
all the while he's looking at me curiously
I look to him in wonderment
and simply ask What?
the reply was "Why sit there when there's all this furniture around?"
I let the silence fall on him this time
I question what I should say
Finally I look him in those ocean like eyes
and reply
"Often times what may look comfortable isn't always
and things that look uncomfortable at times aren't"
At this response his look was puzzled
I giggle and say in simpler terms
I'm not picky about where I sit
I break midsentence of "laziness maybe"
Because he wasn't in sight
vanished like POOF
or so I thought
Seeing me look all around for him
amused him in a way
He tapped me on the head to let me know he was still here
his chuckles were the clue for me that he was amused
Softly I punch him in the stomach
murmur "why and how do you do that"
he sits behind and partly beside me and states "I have my ways,
My reason was to see your reaction once I left"
I stare at him
thinking of what his "father" meant
but more so of his name which I knew not
Thought farthest from my mind was his "centuries" of waiting
