M - Masculinity
(Leah)
Radleigh and I spent a large part of the afternoon in bed,
while rain and wind rattled the windows. What else would you expect a newly
formed couple to do in that kind of weather? ;) We eventually dragged ourselves
up to eat. I cooked a very British traditional roast, and then we snuggled up
on the sofa in front of the TV, wrapped up in a duvet.
As Radleigh watched the television, I couldn’t help but let
my thoughts wander. A few months ago, this was the last place I’d have expected
to be. Radleigh only showed very small glimpses of having a softer side back
then. Mostly he was focused on being the Alpha male, and proving just how much
of a man he was.
He was such a contradiction.
Radleigh’s arm tightened around me, pulling me in a little closer,
and I smiled up at him.
“What?” he asked, completely unaware of how adorable he was
when he did things like that. Holding me tighter, just because.
“What happened to you?” I chuckled, and planted a kiss on
his tattooed arm.
“What do you mean?”
I shook my head. “You’re just cute, that’s all.”
His eyes narrowed, but a smile played on his lips. “Cute?
Are you questioning my masculinity?”
When I didn’t answer, he scooped me up and flipped us over
so he was on top of me. He moved so fast, I squealed as his weight crushed down
on me, and I wound my arms around his neck.
“Okay, you win.” I laughed. “You’re not cute. You’re manly.
A total stud.”
“It still sounds like you’re mocking me, Miss Walker.”
“I am. But that doesn’t mean it’s not true.”

ReplyDeleteYes, Masculitnity is a word, term and application very pregnant with meaning and contradictions. A good post here

Well, that was definitely a cute scene!
ReplyDeleteNever mock a man's masculinity!
ReplyDeleteGreat scene. My hubby hates being called cute, so of course I mention how cute he is all the time.

Hah! Be careful what you say. I don't think I've ever called my husband cute, although gorgeous may have escaped my lips. He didn't appreciate it. =)

I love it when big, tough guys show their softer sides. But telling a guy he has a soft side, or is "cute" is a no-no. HAHA! ;)
ReplyDeleteAww -- that was such a cute scene. I'm men manly! Very, very manly.
ReplyDeleteThis scene was absolutely adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteCute scene! Couldn't help it. I know my dad doesn't like being called cute, but my mom does it all the time!
