"The Thousand Year Vigil?" Bill asks as he carefully selects the volume from his shelf.
"I don't think I've ever read it." Laura confesses.
"No? I'm surprised. It's a classic work of literature, writtten over three hundred years ago." He offers as he settles next to her on the couch. Laura fits easily in the space he makes for her at his side; just as easily as she fit in the space he had made for her in his heart.
"Does it include war, rape, murder, and incest?" Her voice is slightly muffled against his neck. "Because those are gauranteed in every classic text."
Bill hesitates, he doesn't want to confirm that it does, indeed, have all of those terrible acts of violence; there is so much more beyond the tragedy.
"Hmm?" Her soft prompt, followed by an even softer kiss strengthens his resovle.
"It includes friendship, sacrifice, family, joy, love, and sex." He pauses for dramatic effect. "Lots of sex."
"I see." Her eyes dance with mirth. "And is it good? The sex I mean."
"Not nearly as good as the sex between us." He declares smugly.
"Well," she huffs, "that's a given."
Bill chuckles as she readjusts herself against him.
"Bill...." She askes as he opens the book. "It's not actually going to take you one thousand years to read, is it? Because I'd eventually like to have more of that great sex we were talking about."
"Maybe we should have sex before we start?" He looks at her hopefully. "Just incase?"
"Bill, we are responsible adults. We can sit on this couch and do something than each other."
He tries not to look disappointed as he prepares to start reading.
"But that does look awfully long...."
Classic or not, it fell to the floor without a care.
