Goodnight...

I start out from the nape of her neck.
A light blow of air first and then a slight brush of lips.
Then I caress her hair, breathing the musk she wears.
Then I move on to the cheek, her goosebumps start to speak.
Small kisses all over the skin, like timestamps they linger.
Then the nose and the ears get attention and the teeth also come to play.
Then I move on to the eyes and the forehead and by now she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. She tries to grab me but I am not Him, I am a mere substitute.
As he had instructed, I move to the lips finally, slowly.
The cleft between the cheek and the lips gets the first and biggest show of affection. Goosebumps outside and butterflies inside both vying for the attention of her heartbeat, increasing her body's heat. Then I move on to those lips, they are quivering and trembling. They try to make contact but I don't, not yet. The tongue is restless and tries to reach out. Finally, I give in.
I give those lips what I have promised.
The light airy ones, the deep passionate ones, the ones with laughter in them, the hard press ones, the tongue ones, the ones which take her to her happy place.
The kisses.
She stirs sensing his presence.
She wakes up and realises its me.
She misses him and reminisces the real thing.
I have done my part well I believe. Let her beating heart and her searching eyes be my witness.
I see love in her eyes.
He knew exactly what she likes and he taught me well.
I had seen love in his eyes.
Someday, I shall witness this make belief when it turns to reality. I pray.
-Her Pillow

P.S.- he bribed me to do all of this but I did it for free because I knew how lovely she is.
