Après Noël

Nathan smiled at his partner. After all the holiday shopping and feasting now he was ready to head back to work.

But before he got ready, he greeted his partner with a kiss. Kate yawned and stretched her arms.

She gave Nathan a tight squeeze. Then asked him how he slept. He replied, ‘‘The moment my head hit the pillow~ I was in dreamland right away.’’

Kate laughed, and shook her head. Nathan was such a serious business guy, but he surely did have quite a creative & imaginative mind.

Even his dreams were something that Kate would have loved to jump right into. Now that Christmas Day had past, they could enjoy the next day- Boxing day.

Kate was glad that Nathan was only going to work from the morning to noon. He’d have the rest of the afternoon/day off. He usually worked from eight in the morning to six in the evening.

She on the other hand had two weeks off from work. Kate was ready to start getting ready for the New Year. Nathan wouldn’t be working that day, so they could go out to the park, or maybe just stay indoors to watch a movie.

While Nathan was out for the time being working, Kate packed all the christmas decorations away. It was time to put them back in the christmas holiday storage boxes.

After Kate had cleaned up, she decided to start preparing lunch. She cooked a beef stew, steamed some vegetables and prepared basmati rice, too.

Once the meal was done, she decided to listen to music. Kate wondered what music to play? She chuckled. Hmm, she hoped that Nathan wouldn’t mind it when he arrived home and found her still listening to Christmas jingles.
