A couple of weeks go by and we give the cursory waves and smiles. I am back to work full time now, my knee now at nearly full strength. It’s tender at times, but no real pain. Then one day I glance in my mirror as I am parking my Silverado. She walks out her door and starts across the street. She is dressed in a strapless sundress with the wide elastic around the chest, tight against her breasts. Lovely as ever.
“Jake.”
“Yes.”
“I think we need to talk,” she says almost in exasperation.
‘Oh shit,’ I'm thinking. “Sure, I need to grab my shit and we can head in.”
“Oh no you don't. We can talk out here.”
“Okay. Can I take my stuff in?”
“Shit, I guess it won’t hurt to go inside.”
We sit across from one another at the kitchen island. She tells me she's been thinking about what happened and doesn't think it's that big a deal and she misses our conversation. She really wants to start spending time together again. The time spent together is relaxing and she is not feeling right about the whole thing.
I apologize for making it uncomfortable between us.
“No,” she says, “It was me, too. I was being flirty and neither of us has been with another in a long time. It was an ‘us’ problem.”
“Well, I really hate that it was a problem at all,” I say, “I think we both wanted it to happen or it wouldn’t have. I think we needed this time to realize what we really wanted. Each other.”
She looks at me with large doe eyes. Her hazel eyes piercing my soul. I feel my heart leap as I stand and walk around the island. I pull her to me, she sinks into my chest as I kiss her even more deeply than the last time. She moans, so do I. I run my hands up and down her back, rubbing from just above that magnificent ass to the base of her neck. She has her arms around my neck, pulling me to her.
We break our kissing embrace and make our way to the sitting area.
“Oh goodness,” she says, “That was wonderful. I didn’t know if you felt the same way. I have been trying for days to figure out how to either tell you how I felt or to let you go. I am glad you knew just what to say, well not say.”
“Why don’t we go out to eat for a change?” I ask.
“No, I made something special in case we made up, so to speak.”
She gets up and hurries out across the street. She comes out of her house carrying a massive serving tray with plates of food. “Why the fuck does she have a restaurant serving tray in her house?” Oh well, not important.
She comes walking in with a couple seasoned ribeye’s ready to toss on the grill and potatoes already baked just needing to be warmed for the butter and other accoutrements. She sets it on the island, I start to help cooking. We brush up against each other and chills run through me. I look at Sheila and see the same chills hit her.
I turn and kiss her again. We drop the food and grab each other. Now we are on each other like a couple teenagers at homecoming dance. I stop and lead her down the hall.
“Where ar…”
“Shhh, you know exactly where.”
We get to my bedroom and I bring her to the bed.
I pick her up and place her on the huge king bed. Her petite frame looks almost lost in the middle of it. I climb on, still in my business attire and begin to kiss her. Starting with the tops of her feet, her calves, knees. Inner thighs, stopping before getting to her musky love spot. The dress is covering the rest of her so, I move up to the tops of her breasts, neck, ears and now to her lips. Deep loving kisses passing between us and I say, “I’ve wanted you since I fucked up my knee while watching you.”
“Oh no Jake, I’ve wanted you since we first met. Will you take me?”
I pull the top of the dress down over her breasts.
“Oh fuck. These are even more beautiful than I had hoped.” She smiles.
I stay on them for a few minutes sucking her nipples, tracing them with my tongue, massaging them and giving them the worship, any woman deserves.
