It's been six months since Derek caught Gabby cheating on him. For the first four months, he stayed at Tom's guest house. When Derek finally went home, he found a note from Gabby, but he didn't bother reading it and just tossed it in the trash. He had the engineer in his Condo, change his locks just in case she showed up. Derek was trying his best to move on. He spent the majority of his time at the club working with Tom on an expansion.

It was Friday morning, Tom and Derek just completed the plans for the club.

“Based on the feedback, the addition of the new VIP Lounge and Restaurant are going to bring in a shit load of money,” said Tom.

“Yeah, I know our top clientele is already asking when they can make reservations. I’ll probably start making that list once the renovations are complete,” replied Derek.

“The best part about it is we budgeted enough money to hire Christina to manage the Lounge and the Restaurant. Since you will have more time on your hands. It’s time for you to get out there and start dating or at least bang some chicks. I know Gabby did you wrong, but you have to move on. When was the last time you got laid?”

Derek signed. He hated talking about his love life.

“The last time was with those two cops; you happen to see on the security cameras I didn’t know you had. Besides, I have been on a few dates, but I’m not interested in being with anyone right now. I’m kind of enjoying being by myself and working on the club has been keeping me busy.”

“Shit man, that was six months ago. I know your dick is begging to fuck something besides your hand. How about we hop on the Jet and fly to the East Coast tonight and get you laid.”

Derek shook his head.

“Oh no, I’m never partying with you again. The last time we did that. I woke up with my head shaved, a tattoo, and a hangover.”

Tom chuckled, “But you had fun, didn’t you?”

“Yeah, too much fun. I think I’m just going to go grab some coffee at the cafe and head home. I’m thinking about driving down to the cottage and spending a week there.”

“Dude, you have to move on. I know you loved her, but obviously, she didn’t love you. You’re not going to be able to move on unless you get out there and have some fun.”

“I know, but I was with her for three years. You can’t forget that overnight. Besides, I won’t be good for anyone if I still have feelings for someone else. It will take some time, but I will get back out there. I’ll call you when I’m back in town.”

Tom shrugged his shoulders in defeat, “Alright, Bro. You know if you need anything I’m here for you.”

Tom shook Derek’s hand and hugged him. Derek grabbed his jacket and headed out of the club to the Cafe down the street. It was a crisp fall morning in Downtown, New Medusa. The streets were crowded with people, as usual, going about their day. The Honeybee Cafe was just a block away from the club. Derek always started his morning with a cup of their delicious Hazel Nut Coffee. Since he was going to be away for a week, he decided he was going to treat himself with a cup of coffee and a Danish. He walked in the Cafe, the breakfast crowd had already come and gone, so he was able to grab a booth by the window.

“Hi Mr. Elliot, how are you doing this fine Fall morning?”

“Hi, Roger. I'm doing fine. I had an early start to my day, so I’m actually going to take my time and enjoy myself for breakfast.”

Roger smiled.

“We always love to have you stop in. I remember when your father brought you every Saturday morning when you were young. You would always get Martha’s famous Mickey Mouse pancakes.”

Derek remembered and shook his head.

“You know what? Instead of my usual Danish. Give me an order of pancakes, eggs, and sausage. I’ll also have my favorite Hazel Nut coffee.”

“I’ll put that in for you right away, Mr. Elliot, and I’ll give you a pot of coffee on the house.”

Derek thanked Roger as he went to go get his order started. It was going to take about twenty minutes before his breakfast was ready, so Derek took out his phone to check his email. Maybe Tom was right, he thought. I should book a vacation. Derek decided to plan a trip while he waited for his food.

"Hi, Derek?"

He knew that voice all too well. When he looked up, love, anger, lust, and pain rushed over him. He knew that it was a chance he would run into her in the city. He didn't think it would be today.

"Hi, Gabriella." He said dryly.

He only used her full name when he was upset at her, and she knew it. She was a fool for cheating on him. The past six months have been trying for her. She knew that their relationship was probably over for good, but she owed him an explanation. She just hopes he gives her the time to give him one.

"I wasn't sure it was you. You look well."

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just stopped in for some breakfast before I head home." Derek replied, dryly.

"Do you mind if I sit down and have a cup of coffee with you?”

He shifted in his seat. Derek didn't know what to say. He had so many emotions and thoughts running in his mind. He wanted to tell her to fuck off. Still, at the same time, he wanted an explanation of why she destroyed their relationship.

"Okay," he said.

She put her coffee on the table and sat down. When she looked into Derek's eyes, she could see the pain that she caused him. Her heart sunk, and she had to force herself to keep the tears back, at least for now.

"I know you have been avoiding me, and I completely understand. I feel like a bitch for what I did to you, and I owe you an explanation. I wanted to know if we can meet somewhere private later and talk. It's okay if you tell me to fuck off. I will completely understand, but please let me give you some closure."

Derek stared at her quietly. He hated her for what she did, but part of him still loved her. Derek knew he should tell her it doesn't matter, and he moved on. But he hasn't moved on and the reason why is because he doesn't know why she cheated. Was he not doing enough, was she bored, did he wait too long to ask her to marry him? He had so many questions, and the only person that had the answers was sitting across from him.

"Here is your coffee Mr. Elliot." said the Roger.

Roger could feel the tension in the air.

"Your order will be out in a few minutes."

"Would you like a refill, ma'am?"

Gabby was relieved that he broke the silence.

"Yes, please," she replied.

"I'll be right back."

They watched as Roger walked away.

"I probably should say no, but I think the only way for me to move on is to hear you tell me why you cheated."

Gabby looked relieved.

"And that is all I want to do. I'm not expecting anything in return, and after we talk, I'll be gone from your life if that's what you want. When and where do you want to meet?"

"I'm leaving in the morning for the cottage. Meet me at my place around 7 tonight?”

"Alright, I'll see you then. Goodbye, Derek."

Derek just nodded.

She wanted to give him a kiss before she left, but she knew that they no longer had that kind of relationship. As a matter of fact, they were just strangers in a strange place despite the fact they were together for three years. Gabby nodded and left. Tears were forming in her eyes as she left the diner. Roger saw her go as he brought Derek his food and Gabby's coffee.

"Here you go, Mr. Elliot."

"Thanks, Roger. You can also give me that extra coffee. I don't think she is coming back," Derek said, sadly.

Roger stared at Derek. He can sense that something serious had to be going on between him and the woman he was sitting with. He noticed tears coming from her eyes as she left the café, and Derek didn't look too good either.

“Hey, do you mind if I can give you some advice."

"Sure,” replied Derek.

"If you truly love someone, you will always find a way to forgive that person after they hurt you. If that person truly loves you. They’ll make it up to you and always prove to you that they will never hurt you again.” Roger smiled, “30 years of marriage taught me that."

Derek thought about what Roger said and nodded.

"You’re a lucky man to be married that long. Thank you for the advice."

"It's more about love than luck."

Later that evening, Derek waited nervously for his meeting with Gabriella. The only thing he cared about was hearing the reason why she cheated. He wanted to listen to her say that she wasn’t in love with him anymore. Hearing her say that would help him move one. He had his bags packed in the car, ready for his getaway to the cottage in Saint Vincennes. As soon as they were done talking, he was going to get an early start on the drive.

Two hours later, right at 7 o’clock, he heard a knock at the door. When he opened the door, Gabriella was standing there with a bag of Chinese food. He always admired her beauty. She was a short petite and busty Irish girl. Six months ago, she had long red hair that stood out against her brown freckles and milky white skin. Now her hair was dyed jet black and cut into a pixie cut. Derek liked the way her new hairstyle highlighted her grey eyes.

"Hey, I hope you don't mind. I bought some food. I have been in meetings all afternoon, and I haven't eaten dinner yet. I didn't know if you were hungry, so I bought you some fried rice and orange chicken from Sky Wok."

She knew that was Derek's favorite. They always got takeout from there on Fridays. She set the bag on the kitchen table and took her usual seat at the dinner table.

"Thank you. I haven't eaten either."

Derek went to grab two forks and two plates from the cabinet. He gave Gabriella a fork and plate and set down across from her. It's been six months, but the routine was still second nature. The only thing missing was laughter and conversation. They ate quietly at the table, waiting for someone to break the silence. Gabby started to tear up and looked at Derek.

"I've missed this. I've missed you. I know what I did was inexcusable, and I can understand after tonight if you never want to see me again."

Derek put his fork down and looked at Gabby.

"It wasn't anything you did that made me cheat. I was not true to you about the type of person I am sexually, and that made me selfish. After being with you for so long, I was afraid you would look at me like a dirty whore. So, I gave in to my desires with Mike.”

Derek's face was tight. He was trying to process what she just told him.

“How long were you two together?”

“The affair didn't last long; it started as a little flirting at the conference in Fresco.”

She choked back her tears, "The one and only time we had sex was when you saw us."

"Were there others?" he asked.

"No, he was the only one," she replied.

Derek set in silence for a while, thinking about what she just revealed.

"No..." Derek said calmly. "You don't get to come in here and tell me that it wasn't me. That you cheated because you were afraid and too insecure to show me the type of whore that you are."

Derek voiced deepen with anger.

"We were together for three fucking years. You know you could have talked to me, but instead, I had to find out how much of a dirty slut you were by watching you fuck another man. Tell me. How would you have felt if you walked in on me fucking your sister or some other woman? My heart and soul were torn into a million pieces watching the joy on your face as Mike was fucking you. So, save me the bullshit and tell me the truth. Tell me you were tired of being with me. Tell me I took too long to take our relationship to the next level. Just tell me that you don't love me so I can move on with my fucking life!"

Derek got up and walked into the living room to cool off. Gabby quietly followed him into the living room. She truly felt the pain that she has caused. Tears started falling from her eyes as she stood behind him.

"I can't tell you that I don’t love you because it wouldn't be true. I do love you, Derek.”

She reached her hand out for his, but she just let her hand drop to her side.

“I'm in love with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. The truth is that was I scared because so many guys would treat me bad after I had sex with them. I was such a slut that the only thing they wanted from me was dirty sex. You're right, I should have talked to you, but I was afraid you would leave me.”

Derek still had his back to her with his head down.

"Every time I look at you, all I see is your face as he came on you and your face when he made you come. To be honest, Gabby, I don't know if I can forgive you. I was going to ask you to marry me that day. Please just tell me you don't love me, and this would be a whole lot easier."

"As I said, I can't because I do love you. If you can't forgive me and you don't love me anymore, I understand. You will have to look me in my eyes and tell me. If you can do that, I'll leave you alone forever. I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry. I am a fool for destroying us. I will always be in love with you, Derek Elliot."

Derek turned around. Gabby held herself waiting for Derek to end it once and for all. He stared in her eyes for a moment. All he can think about was seeing her with Mike, but as he stared at her longer, he realized that despite the pain that she caused him, he was still in love with her.

"I can't tell you that either," he said softly.

"Despite what happened. I'm still in love with you, and I can't see myself being with anyone else, but how am I supposed to trust you after all of this?"

“Please give me a chance to regain your trust. I promise I’m done, and I will never cheat on you again. I'll always be open. I can’t lose you.”

Derek could tell that she was torn and genuinely sorry for what she did. He remembered what Roger said to him earlier, and he knew that he wanted to give their relationship another chance. They both put so much into it, that it was hard to throw it all away. He didn't realize that she had so many trust issues, and he understood why she was afraid to express herself during sex.

"It will take time for us to get back to where we were, but I am willing to work on it if you are."

Gabby held her mouth and walked towards Derek and wrapped her hands around him, and cried as Derek held her tightly.

"I don't know how I could have been so stupid. I promise I will do everything to make up for what I did."

“I forgive you and don't ever be afraid to tell me anything. I will never judge you, ever," Derek told her.

She lifted her head off his shoulder and smiled.

"I love you," she said.

Gabby kissed him softly on the lips.

"I love you too," he replied.

Derek held her tight, taking her mouth into his. He lifted her up and carried her over to the couch and laid her down. She pulled him close and kissed him deeply. She pulled his shirt over his head and threw it across the room. He lifted her shirt over her head and saw the engagement ring he was going to give her on a chain around her neck.

Gabby grabbed the chain and looked at Derek.

"I kept this around my neck to remind me of what I lost."

He smiled and kissed her passionately.

He slowly unhooked her bra and threw it to the ground. He leaned down and took her breast in his mouth. Gabby ran her hands thru his hair as he caressed her breast with his mouth. She loved the way his tongue played against her nipples. She inched him up by the chin and kissed him. She softly pushed him back and hopped off the couch and pulled her pants and thong down. She was usually shaved completely, but this time she had a red landing strip. She jumped on top of him and ran her tongue from his neck down to his pants. She got up and guided him to his feet. Then she dropped to her knees, pulled his pants down, and took his dick all the way in her mouth without gagging. Derek closed his eyes.

"Shit, that feels good."

She took his dick out of her mouth, lifted it up, and took his balls in her mouth. She stroked his dick as she rolled his balls in her mouth. She stared up at Derek as she traced her tongue up his shaft.

"I want you to fuck the back of my throat," she told him.

She opened her mouth and put his dick on her tongue. Derek placed his hands on top of her head and lightly thrust in and out of her mouth. She grabbed his dick to stop him.

"You can do it faster and harder. I won't break."

She kissed the tip of his dick and put it back in her mouth. He thrust his dick a little harder and deeper until he felt the back of her throat. He started picking up speed. The sound of his dick sliding in and out of her throat filled the room. As he was fucking her, she started rubbing her clit. She grabbed his hand and moved it on the back of her head. She moved her head faster. Derek knew what she wanted, so he fucked her throat more quickly and harder. The sounds of his dick hitting the back of her throat were drawn out by her moans. Salvia was rolling down her body as he fucked her throat. Gabby grabbed his dick and gasped for air. She pressed her lips on his dick and kissed up and down his shaft.

Derek lifted her up by the chin and kissed her. He led her to the couch and pushed her in the corner of the sofa. Derek placed her leg on the top of the couch. He loved the way her pussy lips were pushed out just a little from her labia. He could tell she was aroused because her pink clit was poking out of the hood. Derek bent down and buried his face in Gabby's pussy. Gabby moaned with excitement. Derek knew how to eat her pussy well. He flicked her lips left and right before tracing his tongue up and down. When his tongued got to the bottom of her pussy. He circled her asshole with the tip of his tongue. She gasped in surprise. He kissed her pussy and took his index and middle finger and put them in her mouth. Then he took his fingers and inserted them into her pussy, hitting her g-spot. Gabby threw her head back and moaned. He started sucking and licking on her clit as he finger fucked her.

"You're going to make me come." She breathed.

She arched her backed and screamed as she squirted in his mouth and hand. He put his fingers in her mouth so that she can taste her cum.

Gabby stared at Derek with fire in her eyes.

"I want you inside me," she said.

He kissed her one last time and kneeled on the couch between Gabby's legs. He rubbed the head of his dick outside of her pussy. She bit the bottom of her lipped and smiled. He smiled back and slowly inserted his dick. They both moaned as her tight pussy swallowed his dick. Gabby watched as he thrust in and out of her. She licked her hand and started rubbing her clit.

“I missed you inside me,” she moaned.

“Keep fucking me just like that. You’re hitting my spot.”

Gabby's pussy was getting wetter as she was getting closer to her orgasm. Derek's dick was glistening with her clear and white cream as he fucked her. He took her leg off the top of the couch and placed it on his shoulder. He leaned forward and put his hand on the couch. Gabby placed her hands on his chest. Derek thrust into her slow and deep. Gabby threw her head back each time he reached his limit. She reached up, grabbed the back of his head, and pulled him towards her.

"You’re so deep inside me. Fuck me faster," she whispered.

She placed his forehead on hers and stared at him as he fucked her fast and deep. The sounds of his thighs smacking her ass matched her loud moans. Sweat was rolling down her body, and she kissed him deeply as her orgasm rushed over her body. She pushed Derek back, and he fell on the couch. Gabby got up and sucked her cum from Derek’s dick. He pulled her up by the chin and kissed her passionately.

"I've missed you," she said.

"I’ve missed you too," he replied.

She kissed him again.

"Now it's my turn."

She kneeled on her knees in front of him and put his dick in her mouth until it was wet. She spat on his dick, turned around, and slowly set on it. She leaned back and placed her feet on the couch. Derek supported her waist with his hands as she rode his dick hard.

"Shit, girl," Derek moaned. "I’ve missed your tight pussy."

Gabby leaned back and kissed Derek.

“Show me how much you missed it,” she whispered in his ear.

Derek held her waist as Gabby supported her hands on his chest. He started fucking her hard and deep.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!” Gabby moaned.

The room filled with the sound of her moans and her ass clipping as Derek fucked her fast and hard. She loved the way his balls slapped her clit as he fucked her. Derek’s thrust slowed downed.

"Damn girl, I'm tired." 

Gabby laughed.

"I bet you are.  You fucked me good.  Don't worry. I got you."

Gabby set up and rode his dick. Gabby grabbed her breast and squeezed her nipples as she pounded his dick with her pussy.

“Turn around. I want to look at you.”

Gabby turned around, leaned in, and kissed him as she rode him some more.

"I want to taste your cum in my mouth," she whispered in his ear.

Derek picked her up and laid her on the couch. He pushed her legs over her head and fucked her slow and deep.

Gabby smiled, "I want all your cum." 

Derek smiled back.  He leaned forward and kissed her as he thrust faster.

Gabby grabbed the back of his head with her hand and tightened her muscles around his dick.

This drove Derek over the plateau. 

"Fuck, your pussy is so fucking tight.  You feel good," he moaned.

"I'm ready," Derek said as he got up.

Gabby got on the floor and kneeled on her knees. Derek took his dick and kneeled over her waiting tongue and came all over Gabby's face. Cum dripped from her chin on to her chest. Gabby took his dick in her mouth and sucked the rest of the cum from his dick. Then she wiped the cum from her face and licked it from her fingers while staring at him with a smirk on her face.

"You're evil," he told her with a smile.

He pulled her up by the chin and kissed her.

"I love you," she said.

He gazed in her eyes and reached around her neck. He took the ring off the chain and put it on her finger.

"I love you too. Forever and always."

She smiled and led him to the bedroom for another round of make-up sex.
