Cheerios and Milk
for John and Souvie
by Mat Twassel
===================
Ellen's wedding dreams: the ruined church lawn,
snout-sized flaps of torn up turf, circular holes a
few inches deep. Hypothesis: Roly-poly opossum, in
earliest dawn, nosing the dew, prodding the soil,
prying up snug tufts of grass to get at fat grubs.
He gulps them down and waddles after others.
She makes the mistake of telling her sister.
"Uh-oh," Bonnie says. "It's a sign you're scared."
"Of what?"
Bonnie laughs. "You'll find out. Want me to help
you shave? I could trim you extra close."
"Go 'way," Ellen says.
Across town Gilbert the groom pours a scant trickle
of milk over cereal.
Big brother Barry laughs heartily. "Heaven forbid if
you make them soggy."
Gilbert dips a spoon. Crunches a mouthful of o's.
"I like them crisp and crackly."
"Ah! Is Ellie a virgin?"
"Barry!"
"Aha! So you don't know. I guess you'll find out.
I'm betting she's tighter than a cheerio."
"Barry!"
"Just being nosy. Are you going to pack a jug of
milk for the honeymoon? Something to soften her up.
Don't skimp. None of that two percent stuff. Ellie
deserves real cream."
"Get outa here."
"Don't worry--I haven't lost the ring yet."
In the schoolyard across from the church, boys are
playing basketball. The goal has no net. From this
distance, Gilbert can't tell whether the shots go
in.
Then he's kneeling at the altar. Ellen, beside him,
holds a bouquet. She has the fuzzy stems clenched
in her hands. Gilbert sees the gleaming pin. He
knows what's going to happen, and it does. A tiny
bubble of bright red blood wells up in the pad of
Ellen's palm. She doesn't notice. An instant later
he hears, "You may kiss the bride."
Gilbert worries that something will go wrong. What
could go wrong? The veil might get stuck. He might
miss her lips. The congregation might laugh. What
if he gets an erection? What if she isn't pleased?
What if ...
Ellen's eyes are open, happy, teasing, and then he
is inside, and nothing matters, not even his
erection, instant, profound, amazingly eager.
They glide to the hall on that single kiss.
She laughs. She dances. She dances with everyone.
"Did you see how smooth the lawn was?" she asks
her husband, and when he doesn't answer,
she laughs.
As they are leaving, Barry slips him a hundred.
"Room service champagne," he says, winking. "In
lieu of cream."
The hotel clerk, gleamingly bald, says, "You'all
should have guaranteed the room." He scratches his
scalp. "It's after midnight, you know."
Ellen squeezes Gilbert's hand.
"I'm just a teasin, kids. Have a nice night."
Room service is closed. "It's okay," Ellen says.
"Maybe we can have champagne for breakfast. Right
now all I want is you."
She's never been wetter. Lubricious bliss. Her eyes
are open, happy, teasing, and then he is inside, and
nothing matters. Nothing but love.
Early the next afternoon they do have breakfast in
their room. Champagne. Strawberries. Cheerios and
milk. And each other.
