It was an afternoon in my second floor  flat on Parnell Road.

 

Yesterday was payday and today was my  day off.

 

The Sun was shining.

 

I ran a bath.

 

There came a knocking at the front door  and I swung it open to find Rushki there.

 

We hadn't seen each other in a couple  of weeks and I was as apprehensive as

 

she was. She came in and we chatted for  a while during which all the reasons why

 

I loved her came sharply into focus. I  hadn't forgotten why we were not seeing each

 

other, we were a little awkward, but  not frosty.

 

Whatever the reason was just didn't  seem to matter, she was here now. 

 

Within minutes we were making love on  my narrow bed, it was wonderful. 

 

Time stood still.

 

We wrapped our arms and legs around  each other and basked in the afterglow. 

 

It was such a fantastic feeling to have  her back with me, locked in my arms

 

once again.

 

I was delirious with joy.

  

When time started up again it was an  hour later in the day.

 

Then I remembered the bathtub taps  going full belt.

 

As my feet hit the floor the water was  three inches deep in the bedroom.

 

Not a good idea in a second floor flat  but we laughed as we did our best to

 

clean it up.

 

The culprit turned out to be a towel  swept by the overflow to cover the

 

floor-drain in the bathroom.

 

All in all, a truly marvellous day, you  get them from time to time

 

Not often, but you do get them.
