His Alluring Slumber

~ Skyler Jayne

I sat at the edge of the deck of our huge boat. A boat I hired just for tonight. The

wind blew through my hair, the calm waves of the ocean slowly lulling me to sleep.

But I couldn‟t sleep, not yet anyway. I have to focus on my mission of finally meeting

her.

I felt a pair of warm arms around my waist. “You need to get some sleep, babe,” she

sighed.

“I can‟t, I won‟t rest till I finally meet her,” I yawned for probably the fiftieth time.

“It kills me to see you this way, Tim. You‟re wearing yourself out” she said and

kissed my cheek.

“But , Sandy , we‟ll reach any minute! I can‟t sleep now.”

“The captain said that we‟ll reach in one hour. Go to sleep. I‟ll wake you up 15

minutes before we reach” she insisted.

“You promise?” I asked her.

“I promise,” she said and we went downstairs and walked towards the beds. She

tucked me in and went out.

I woke up and went back on top. I saw Sandy on the bench sleeping. I sat next to

her and let her head rest on my lap. I stroked her soft black hair.



“I love you, Tim,” she mumbled. I smiled and kissed her forehead.

“I love you too, Sandra,” I whispered.

Suddenly, she woke up and looked at me sleepily. “Did I wake you up?” I asked.

“No, you didn‟t ,” she smiled, “You should go to sleep.”

“I‟ll only sleep once I finally meet my birthmother,” I stated.

“When you do meet her, the two of you will be talking forever. You won‟t get time

to sleep then,” she smiled, “Besides, y ou‟re sexier when you sleep.”

“Is that why you love me?” I asked her.

“It is one of many reasons why love you. Plus, when you wake up, your hazel eyes

make you even more seducing,” she said and sweetly kissed me.

“You‟re forgiven,” I grinned. I loved it when she kissed me.

Then suddenly, I heard a very loud siren. “What happened?” I panicked.

“Don‟t worry. That‟s just to tell the port that we‟re going to reach,” she said.

“So should we pack our things?” I asked. She nodded.

We got off the boat with our bags and looked around for my birthmother. A man

approached us.

“Are you Tim Urban?” he asked. I nodded. He smiled and said “I‟m Gerald, your

half-brother. Mom has back problems so I‟m here to take you home.”

“Great” I smiled. He was my half -brother!



“I‟m Sandra,” Sandra held out her hand, “his fiancé.” He shook it.

Gerald pointed at the back and said, “My car is back there. Do you have all of your

luggage with you?”

“We do!” I said excited.

“Alright, let‟s go then,” Gerald said and we followed him. We didn‟t carry much

luggage, just 2 tiny suitcases.

We sat in his Toyota Camry, a sleek black car, and he drove.

“So, how was your journey?” Gerald asked.

“Tiring ,” Sandra answered and yawned.

“But worth it !” I grinned.

“Why did you suddenly want to find mom?” Gerald asked.

“Well when I was 21, my mother told me I was adopted and that my birthmother

had asked to see me before. At first, I was angry with everyone . Then Sandy

convinced me to find her. She‟s been with me every step of the way ,” I said and

smiled at Sandy. She gave me a loving smile back.

“That‟s cute!” Gerald said, “How old are you? I‟m 21.”

“Well I‟m 25,” I said, “and Sandy is 24.”

“What kind of house do you live in?” he asked.



“I live with Sandy now,” I started, “It‟s a small one bedroom apartment. A little small

than what I‟m used to but it‟s nice and cozy.”

“ And w hat are you used to?” Gerald asked inquisitively.

“He,” Sandra interrupted, “is used to a huge bungalow with an entire floor to him.”

“Seriously?” Gerald asked in disbelief.

“Yeah!” she said, “Having a rich fiancé is great.” I poked her ribs with my elbows.

“Then maybe you won‟t like where we are going. My house is pretty small,” Gerald

said in dismay.

“Why? How small is your house?” I asked confused.

“It is a one bedroom villa” he explained, “usually mom sleeps in her room and I

sleep in the outside room. But mom said that she‟ll sleep outside w ith me so that the

two of you can have your own room”.

“Tim and I don‟t mind sleeping in the outside room,” Sandra said.

“We don‟t?” I asked her. She didn‟t have to speak for me.

“No, we don‟t ,” she said and then whispered “Babe, you need to get used to

roughing it.”

“Why?” I asked.

“It is because I can‟t give you big houses and shiny cars. Can you please just do thisfor me?” she pleaded.

“Fine,” I said out loud, “I‟ll sleep in the outside room with Sandy .”

“ Alright then,” Gerald smiled.



“And one more thing ,” Sandy whispered in my ear, “I don‟t know how much space

is there, so we will have to cuddle really tight”.

A big grin spread across my face. She chuckled and kissed my jaw.

The car stopped outside a small villa. It was smaller than I expected but its crème

walls and tiny hand sketched paintings on the wall were breathtaking.

“Who did these?” I asked and touched the wall.

“I did, you like them?” Gerald asked.

“This can really be worth something” Sandy said expertly.

“ Y ou think so?” Gerald asked nervously.

“She works in a museum. She‟s an expert!” I said proudly.

“You should send us your masterpieces sometime,” Sandy said and stared in awe at

the painting of a young woman chasing a nightingale.

“I can put in a good word for you,” I offered.

“Thank you,” he smiled, “My current job doesn‟t pay enough.”

“You‟re welcome,” I smiled, “Can I meet her now?”

Gerald chuckled and opened the front door.

We entered the house and suddenly my palms got sweaty. Only one question ran

through my mind, „ W hat if she doesn‟t want to see me anymore?‟ she left me once,

she can reject me twice.



“You‟re a good girl, Sandra, you can sleep in the same room as Gerald” she said to

Sandy and then told Gerald, “You behave! She‟s your sister-in-law!”

“Yes, mom,” Gerald chuckled.

I finished brushing my teeth and saw Sandra standing outside, waiting for me. I

walked out and kissed her cheek. “Are you gonna be ok ay ?” I asked her, “I mean

outside.”

“I‟ll be fine, babe,” she smiled.

I looked at her sincerely in her eyes and said, “Thank you, really, for all your help,

for being here with me. I w ouldn‟t be here without you.” I would have spoken more

but she silenced me by placing her finger on my lips.

“I would do anything for you. You don‟t have to thank me,” she simply said. I gave

her a tight hug. I must have done something really nice before to deserve an amazing

girl like her.

“Now go get some sleep,” she said and ushered me towards the bedroom.

I lay down on the soft feather like mattress bed. My mission is finally accomplished.

I found her.

nd then he finally gave into his alluring slumber



The story behind this story? I went on a cruise on April 24, 2010

and I wanted to take something from that experience. One thing of the

things was that the waves made me feel sleepy. Almost lulling me to

sleep. It would be great to live in a boat and not worry about insomnia.

Another thing I got from this cruise is a tan that lasted for more than 6

months!

I want to give a shout out to Molly Hagman (MollyMouse) for

helping me with this story and encouraging me to upload this. I love

you tonnes!
