Dr. Belcomb’s Coming

I was just picturing myself as AL in this situation, only if instead of a pocket watch I pulled out a sun dial and held it under a lamp and pretended to be able to tell time that way. I wonder what my AW would think? Actually, what if I were AL and I did this over and over and over, only with a different item each time. Like, we make love, then I pull out a tangerine with a string attached, one I’ve marked like a clock with permanent marker, and look at it like a pocket watch and say “Dr. Belcomb will be here in 20 minutes.” Or perhaps I pull out an antique goblet, drink milk from it, and say, “The milk told me Dr. Belcomb would be here in 20 minutes.” What if I got a temporary tattoo that says “Ann, Dr. Belcomb!” with a finger tapping a pretend watch (I mean, it would look as if it’s tapping….surely temporary tattoos aren’t so advanced as to have actual motion in them). What if after we made love I jumped off the bed into a sand pit I had installed in our bedroom and I wrote in sand, “Dr. Belcomb’s coming, hurry up!” I bet she would like that. I bet she’d wrestle with me while giggling and then kiss me, either that or trick me into putting my arms in a straight jacket while saying “ANNE, Dr. Belcomb will be here in 20 minutes.” For the latter I’d yell “No, nothing STRAIGHT please! I’m a proud gay woman!” Anyway, I ponder such weird things in quarantine. Have some fun and write a scenario in the comments for us all to enjoy.
