ROSE IS THE FIRST thing Precious sees and smells. The petals leave a trail from the threshold to the bed. The house is illuminated by candles. A smile is fixed on his face as he follows the petals but he bursts into laughter at the sight in front of him.
At the bottom of the bed, Kamil lies on his side, hand on his hip, head in his raised hand and a single flower between his teeth. He is naked but for the apron he wears. It says KISS THE TEA BABY on the chest.
The laughter doesn't subside.
"The Val manic has gotten to you too?"
Kamil grins.
"I can't tell if you grinned at me or bared your fangs. There's a flower between your teeth!"
The laughter is a fits of chuckles that threatens to bubble over as Precious pads closer and puts a knee over Kamil's hip towering above him.
A cursory glance around has him noting that the white bedsheets writes SEX & CHOCOLATES with bars of chocolates and petals.
