The Man I Love
by Hot Lips
@->->- 
I opened my eyes one morning and then closed them again. I didn’t feel like 
getting up. My head hurt, my body ached, and I couldn’t breathe good, and my 
throat felt like it was on fire. Also I felt nauseous. I was sick! Then the man 
I love gave me a kiss on the cheek. 
“Morning beautiful. Sleep well?” he asked. 
I didn’t say anything. But finally I whispered, “Morning. Oh James I don’t feel 
good.” 
“What feels bad Jess?” he asked as he rubbed his eyes. (We were lying down in 
our bed that we share, by the way.) 
“Everything.” I said. “My whole body.” 
“You do sound congested and hoarse a little,” he said as he felt my head. “Oh my 
and you're burning up! I’ll be right back,” he said to me as he walked in our 
bathroom. 
“Ok.” I said. 
He returned with a thermometer and took my temperature in my ear. “Yup you’re 
hot,” he said to me. “Poor baby,” he said as he gently rubbed my hair. 
“I’ll guess we’ll stay home today.” I said with a little smile. 
He smiled back. “Yeah I guess so. Do you want something to eat?” he asked. 
I shook my head no. “I’m afraid if I do I’ll throw it right back up.” I said. 
“Okay, well how about you going back to sleep?” he asked me. 
“Ok.” I said. 
He kissed me on the head. “Night, Night,” he told me. 
“Good night.” I said. 
* * * * * 
When I woke up again it was much later that morning. I looked around for him, 
but I didn’t see him. “James, James,” I said, but I was so hoarse it came out as 
a whisper. Then I looked down from our bed and a saw a box of tissues and a bell 
and a note. 
The note said, 
“If you need one of us use the bell.” 
I rang the bell. In no time he came. 
“Are you up for good?” he asked, still in his pajamas. 
I shook my head yes. 
“Do you want you anything? Anything at all?” he asked, coming down to me. 
I blushed a little. “I would like to take a bath.” I said. 
“Ok,” he said. 
Then I took his hand. “And I want you to bathe me.” I said to him. 
He just smiled. “All right.” 
Then he helped me to the bathroom and began to undress me. He wasn’t embarrassed 
when he saw me naked and neither was I. We knew each other almost half of our 
lives. And about six months ago, we finally got enough courage to tell each 
other how we truly felt. We had always loved each other, but now we were in love 
with each other. I love him, and he loves me. And we want to get married someday 
and have a family. Also on the night we told each other the truth, we made love 
for the first time, so of course we saw each other naked. 
He turned on the water and helped me in. The water was warm and steamy. It was 
cold outside so it felt really good. Also my muscles ached so it was also 
relaxing. Then he started to massage my shoulders gently. 
“Does that feel good?” he asked. 
I shook my head yes. 
“Good.” 
He smiled. Then he got an empty shampoo bottle and put it under the running 
water, then he poured the water over my head. I just closed my eyes and smiled 
as he began to wash my hair massaging my head with his fingertips. Then after he 
was done, he bathed me with a washcloth and his hands. He got them soapy and 
bathed my back then my shoulders and arms. Then he bathed my legs and feet ever 
so gently. I bathed every other part of my body after that. Then he helped me 
out and began to dry me off. When he was done, my hair was combed out and almost 
dry. I stood in the bathroom with only my underwear on. I smiled at him and he 
smiled back. 
“Do you want me to give you a massage?” he asked. 
“You’re so good to me, you sure you don’t mind?” I asked. 
“Why would I ask if I did?” he asked. Then he kissed me on the cheek. “I love 
you.” 
“I love you too.” I said. Then he helped me to our bed. 
* * * * * 
I laid down on our bed and on my stomach, and I spread out my body. He got my 
peach scented lotion, put some on his hands and began to massage my back. He 
started up near my neck and worked his way down stopping right above my 
underwear. It felt so good! 
“You need to do this more.” I said to him with a smile. 
He giggled. “Anything to get my Jessie better.” Then he started to do my arms. 
After he was done I took his hand. “Thank you for doing this.” I told him. 
He kissed my hand. “Happy to do it.” 
Then he rubbed my legs and feet. And when he was done, I got up and we shared a 
long passionate kiss. 
“Feeling better?” he asked. 
“Yes, I feel a lot better.” I said. 
Then I put on deodorant. (He had put on deodorant too before he gave me a bath. 
James and I just like to stay fresh even if we aren’t going anywhere.) Then I 
put on my socks, and he put my robe on me and brushed my hair. 
But then I wondered about something. 
“James where’s Meowth?” I asked. 
“I sent him on an errand.” James told me. 
“Where?” I asked. 
“You’ll see!” he said with a smile. 
A few minutes later I heard Meowth’s voice. 
“I’m back!” he shouted. “And I got the stuff!” 
“What stuff?” I asked James. 
“Well, I got him to rent us some movies.” He said. 
“Yay!” I said with a smile. 
“And got us some ice cream!” he said. 
“Double yay!” I said with a bigger smile. 
“You want to go watch them?” he asked. 
“Yes of course.” I said. 
Then to my happy surprise James picked me up and carried me to the living room. 
As we walked down the hall I just put my hands around him and hugged him. His 
body was so warm, so gentle, so strong. I had never felt so safe. 
* * * * * 
James sat me down on the couch. 
“What did you rent?” I asked Meowth, who was also on the couch. 
The Wedding Singer and Casablanca, he told me. 
I smiled. “Thank you those are two of my favorites!” I said as I patted him on 
the head. 
“They were James’s idea.” Meowth told me. 
I smiled at James, and he smiled back. “So what do you want to watch first?” 
James asked. 
Casablanca! I said. “But first I want my ice cream.” 
Meowth got up and went into the kitchen. 
“Are you sure your stomach can handle it?” James asked me. 
“Yeah. I don’t feel nauseous at all, honest!” I said. 
Meowth returned with three bowls of ice cream. I smiled when I saw what kind it 
was. “Oh! Cookies and cream my favorite!” I said with a big smile. 
“Only the best for my peach,” James said as he worked the VCR. 
I smiled and sniffed my arm. 
“You do smell like peaches,” Meowth said. 
“It’s my lotion,” I said very fast. 
Meowth rolled his eyes “Ok.” 
Then James joined us on the couch. 
“I’ll leave you two alone.” Meowth said. 
James and I were surprised by Meowth’s kindness. 
“No that’s ok you don’t have to go,” I said. 
“Yeah you can stay. We don’t mind,” James said. 
“Really?” Meowth asked. He looked surprised. 
“Really.” We both said at the same time. 
Meowth shrugged his shoulders, grabbed his ice cream and a pillow then lay down 
in a chair right by the couch. 
Right before the movie started I looked at James. I smiled and rubbed his silky 
light blue hair he had washed the night before and laughed. 
“What’s so funny?” James asked me with ice cream in his mouth. 
“You’re still in your pajamas,” I said in a little girl voice. 
It was true. He had a pair of boxers on and a white undershirt on and a pair of 
socks on. To me, he looked very sexy! 
James looked down and saw what he was wearing. “So? You’re still in yours, 
kinda,” he told me with a smile. 
“I know,” I said in the same little girl voice, and I giggled. 
Then he laughed, and I put my head on his shoulder and we watched the movie. 
* * * * * 
By time the movie was over, Meowth was asleep in the chair. I was sitting on 
James’s lap with my arms around him. 
“I love that movie!” I said. 
“Here’s looking at you kid,” James said in his best Humphrey Bogart voice. 
I laughed. He just smiled. 
“How do you feel Jess?” he asked me. 
“Better, but my legs and feet hurt just a little,” I said. 
“Oh? I’ll go get you some medicine,” he said. Then he went in the kitchen. 
He returned with some medicine and water, and I took it. 
“Would you like me to massage your legs and feet some more?” he asked me. 
“You don’t have to,” I said. 
“It’s not a problem,” he said to me. “I’d be glad to.” 
“Well ok but don’t take off my socks, my feet will get cold,” I said with a 
smile. 
He smiled and he started to rub my left leg. “Want to listen to some music?” 
“Yeah!” 
He went and turned on our multi-player CD player. It held six CDs at once. We 
had won it in a raffle and only spent two dollars! Yay! The first CD that played 
was our Beatles “1” CD. James and I always liked them -- they were a true ROCK 
band, not like that stupid teen pop. I like to think James and I have good taste 
in music. The first song was a real funny one, “Yellow Submarine.” I giggled 
when I heard it. I saw James laughing at it too. He was so cute when he smiled. 
“This song always rocked,” James said. 
“Yeah it’s a real funny one!” I said. 
"We all live in a yellow submarine. A Yellow Submarine. Yellow Submarine." I 
sang. 
“You want to be funny?” I asked, wanting James to be mine right then and there. 
God I love him! I started to make my leg go up his face, and his eyes showed his 
happiness and he smiled big time when he saw my smile. 
“I love you,” he said to me, kissing my leg. My heart skipped a beat. James 
truly loved me and of course I loved him too. Then he started to caress my skin. 

“Mmmmmm…James you’re a natural,” I said to him as he rubbed my left leg and 
foot. 
He giggled. “Thank you. So am I doing my job and making my pretty peach all 
better?” he asked. 
“Yeah, I’m feeling a lot better,” I said with a smile. 
“Good,” he said as he began to rub my right leg. 
“This is so nice of you.” I said. “Don’t ever stop.” 
“I won’t. Promise,” James said. 
I smiled. “I love you.’’ 
James smiled when he heard that. “Same here. You’re my sweetheart. And boy are 
you HOT!” James said being silly. “You make me melt like ice cream,” he said 
with a wink. Then he to started to tickle my legs. 
I cracked up! “You’re a naughty boy!” I said with a smile. 
He gave me a sexy look. I could tell he wanted me just as much as I wanted him! 
Then another song came on -- the band Queen, the Greatest Hits CD and the Song 
“WE WILL ROCK YOU!” 
“Oh boy! I’m going to get you, Jessie!” James said. Then he started to tickle my 
legs even more, and he looked at me with a smile. 
Then I smiled and kicked him very gently on the tummy. “James you better kiss me 
right now! Or I’ll be kickin’ your can all over the place!” I said seriously. 
“I will rock you, baby!” James said. Then James came down to me and we started 
to make out right on the couch. 
“James if you let go of me right now, I’ll kill you. God I love you,” I 
whispered. 
“Jessica don’t worry. I won’t.” Then he started to kiss my stomach and started 
to undress me. I was enjoying every second! Then he looked at me and I looked at 
him. 
“James make love to me, please,” I said looking at his body. “Oh what the hell 
come here!” I said. I grabbed him by his shirt. 
“I am The Champion!” he shouted. 
I pulled him down to me and I started to undress him. As he kissed my body and 
we became one, we both were sweating and letting the nice warm house make us 
feel at ease. 
“Jessie did I ever tell you I love you more than anything?” James said, kissing 
my neck gently. 
“You tell me every day, silly,” I said, kissing the top of his head. “Mmmmm I 
don’t want this day to end. You have spoiled me rotten!” I said looking at my 
love’s naked body holding me. “I don’t deserve you, baby. You’re so good to me, 
and I don’t do anything for you. You’re too good for me, James.” I said. 
I looked at James, ready for him to agree with me, but he just kissed my 
forehead and smiled, and what I heard almost like a little laugh. “Shut up, 
sweetheart,” he said to me. “Jessie I LOVE you! I love every single part of you, 
you’re my love forever!” James said to me, looking at my face. 
I just smiled as I wanted tears to come out, but I held them back and let his 
sexy body keep me warm and gave him a little hug. Then we gave each other a 
kiss. 
“Jessie, are you going to be hungry today?” James asked me. 
“I should. I’m feeling better,” I said. 
“I’ll pick up dinner later, my sweet princess. My sweet little peach is sick. 
It’s up to me to make her better and feed her junk food!” James said with a 
laugh. 
“Chicken?” I asked. 
“Yeah, with potatoes, salad and everything!” James said licking his lips. 
“MMMMMM chicken!” I said with a laugh. 
We both had a good laugh! 
As I looked at him, he smiled and stoked my hair. I felt so relaxed and cared 
for -- James was my dream come true! 
“I love you so much. You’re my prince,” I said to him. 
James smiled and started to blush. 
* * * * * 
After that, we turned off the music and watched the other movie. Then after 
that, James and I got dressed. He put on a green t-shirt and some blue jeans, 
and I just put on a long blue shirt and some shorts I wear to bed sometimes 
(kinda like boxers). After we were dressed, James, Meowth, and I played several 
games with cards (mostly go fish). 
“This is almost as good as yours,” Meowth said to James, eating a fried chicken 
leg. 
I smiled at Meowth. 
James smiled too. “Thank you I’ll make mine real soon,” he said. 
“Yeah because nobody cooks like you!” I said giving him a kiss on the cheek. 
He just blushed again. He’s truly humble. 
After dinner, I brushed my teeth and just laid on the couch and watched TV. 
James went to take a shower and Meowth and I just watched the movie. 
That’s the last thing I remember, because the next thing I felt was James 
carrying me to our room. (I must have fallen asleep on the couch.) I don’t think 
he knew I was still awake, but I think I was more asleep than awake. He gently 
put me on my side of the bed and took off my socks. Then he covered me with 
blankets to keep me warm. Finally, he stroked my hair and kissed me on my head. 
“Good night. Love you,” he told me. 
When he was gone I just smiled and said, “Good night my handsome prince.” 
* * * * * 
“No! Come back! Come back!” I shouted. 
“Jessie wake up!” A voice called out. 
It was James. I woke up crying and sweating. “James, I had a nightmare!” I said 
hugging him. 
“It’s okay. It’s all over,” he said hugging me back. “Would you like to tell me 
about it?” he asked in a very gentle voice. 
He looked at me, and I looked at him. It was very dark, and I could only make 
out his shadow. He was sitting on the edge of the bed. 
I shook my head yes. “It was awful. You, me, Meowth, and my mother for some 
reason were trapped in a building,” I said. 
“That sounds scary,” he said quietly. 
“It was, and it had a bomb in it! We had found each other; we had been separated 
for some reason. But when Meowth and my mother saw us and the bomb, they ran 
away! Then I woke up,” I said crying. 
"Shh, shh it’s all over. We’re all okay,” James said as he rubbed my back and 
held me close. 
“James,” I finally whispered. “I miss my mother.” 
James was silent for a couple of seconds. “I’m sure you do, but remember she’s 
your angel. She’s always watching over you,” he told me. 
“I know,” I said wiping away tears. “But it’s hard sometimes.” 
I saw James. He had a sad look on his face. Then he kissed me on the lips and 
hugged me. 
“You know you’re also my angel,” I told him. 
“But I thought your mother was?” he asked. 
“She is, but she’s the one in heaven. You’re my angel on earth.” I said. 
He smiled. “You’re my angel too, you always have been.” James said to me. 
We smiled at each other. 
“How about you trying to get back to sleep?” he asked. “You need your rest.” 
“Okay, but can you do me a favor?” I asked. 
“Name it and I’ll do it,” he told me. 
“I want you to sing to me,” I said. 
“Sing?” he asked. He sounded surprised. 
“Yes. Sing me a lullaby. It doesn’t have to be a love song. Just a song. I want 
to hear your voice as I fall asleep,” I said, lying back down. 
“Well, ok are you really sure?” James asked. He sounded nervous. 
“Yes. You can do it,” I said. 
James started to hum a song. It was quiet. I could tell James was nervous. Then 
he quietly started to sing a song and got close to me. 
Something in way you move, 
Attracts me like no other lover. 
Something in a way you woo me. 
I don’t want to leave you now, 
You know I believe in how, 
James whispered, singing in my ear. I couldn’t believe what song he was singing! 
I had tears in my eyes as his sweet voice sang it. It was the Beatles song, 
“Something.” It was so beautiful. True he was changing the words “she” and “her” 
to “you” and “your” but he was singing it to me! I felt my heart get bigger with 
love for him every second he was singing it. 
Somewhere in your smile you know, 
That I don’t need no other lover. 
Something in your style shows me, 
I don’t want to leave you now. 
You know I believe and how. 
You’re asking me if my love will grow, 
I don’t know, I don’t know. 
You stick around now, it may show, 
I don’t know, I don’t know. 
Something in the way you know, 
And all I have to do is think of you. 
Something in the things you show me. 
I don’t want to leave you now, 
I know I believe in how. 
James was done, and I was breathless and crying. 
“Did it sound that bad?” James asked. 
“No, no it was beautiful thank you,” I said. 
“I figure that song shows how you and me started out. I always loved you -- it 
just took time to tell you that I love you, and I’m in love with you Jessie. 
You’re my best friend; I can, tell you about anything, and you would always 
listen and try and make things right for me. You’re more than my lover, you're 
my soul. You’re part of me, Jessie,” James said. 
I hugged him tightly with tears. “And you’re part of me too,” I said in a 
whisper. 
I knew I was in love forever. This is the man I would always love. With these 
happy thoughts, I laid back down. Then I closed my eyes and he softly rubbed my 
hair. And I fell asleep smiling. 
* * * * * 
When I woke up again it was morning, and boy did I feel better! My head and body 
didn’t hurt, my throat felt better, and I could breathe! I was well again! Me 
again! 
But then, I noticed something -- I woke up on James’s side of the bed. 
I couldn’t remember him getting into the bed, and I didn’t smell breakfast. What 
was going on? I wasn’t worried, just curious. So I got out of bed, put on my 
robe, and walked towards the living room. 
When I got in there, Meowth wasn’t in his cat box either. 
“Hmmm.” I thought. 
Then, I turned around and saw the cutest thing I think I had ever seen. James 
and Meowth were asleep on the couch together, it was so cute! James was lying 
down sleeping against one of the armrests with a pillow and had a different pair 
of boxers and a Metallica shirt on. He had a blanket covering the lower half of 
his body and one of his socks was sticking out of the blanket. Meowth was spread 
out left to right on his stomach on James’s chest. It was the cutest, sweetest, 
thing I had ever seen! 
I just stood there and watched them and smiled. James had been nice enough to 
let me have the whole bed to myself, and it had been a cold night. Also, Meowth 
was sleeping on him to keep him warm or just because they’re best friends. 
(Probably both.) 
But I knew it couldn’t last. So, I went over to the man I love and went down to 
him and gave him a very passionate kiss on the lips. Within in seconds he was 
kissing back. 
He opened his eyes. “Hey you’re up,” he said very quietly. 
I shook my head yes and smiled. 
“And it’s early,” he said. 
I shook my head yes again. 
“Feeling better?” he asked. 
“Yes, I think I’m all better,” I said happily. 
“Good, you want some breakfast?” he asked. 
"Yes, please,” I said. But then I just laughed. 
“What?” he asked. 
“You have a little problem if you want to get up,” I said. 
“Oh?” Then he noticed Meowth who was still sleeping on his chest. 
“Meowth,” we both said quietly. “Time to get up.” 
After that, James tried to get him off with his hands, but that didn’t work. 
Finally I just picked him up. (Meowth's claws were deep in James’s chest. He 
wasn’t hurting him, James just couldn’t get him off his chest.) 
“Huh? Morning already?” Meowth asked us. 
“Yup!” we both said. 
He opened his eyes wide. “Jessie! You’re up! You feeling better?” he asked me. 
"Yeah, I’m cured!” I said smiling. 
“I guess you had a 24 hour bug or something,” Meowth told me. 
“Probably so,” I said. 
“Well, I still want you to take it easy,” James said. 
“Come on, Meowth. Let's go make blueberry pancakes,” James said as he got up. 
I put Meowth down, and Meowth and James walked toward the kitchen. 
“Homemade pancakes, or a mix?” Meowth asked James in the kitchen. 
“Please, Meowth when was the last time I used a mix?” James asked. 
“Ha! Never!” Meowth said happily. 
I just smiled and laid down on the couch and watched TV. As I smiled, the smell 
of blueberry pancakes filled the air, and I just looked at the man I love.
