remote to him.
“Then you find something, you big crybaby,” I tease.
“Oh, this is what we’re going to do? Name calling?” He starts to tickle me knowing full well that I’m very ticklish.
“Stop, Tony! Cut it out before I spill the wine!” I’m laughing as he pulls away and looks at me. God, I love this man! I feel my pussy getting wet as I watch him come closer to me with intense desire in his eyes. Yes, this is what my body needs right now…
“You know you want my tongue on your body… Or do you want my lips?” He murmurs right before he licks my face!
“TONY!” I scream and run upstairs with him following close behind me.
We make it to the hallway floor when he tackles me. “Do you remember when we reconnected after you left Ms. Allen’s?”
“Of course. I could never forget. I needed a place to crash, and you and your girlfriend gave me a place to stay.” He starts to laugh.
I remember that day because I called him, and he immediately told me to bring my things without asking any questions. I knew it was because Tony liked me, but I wasn’t interested in him. I just needed a place to stay.
“Yeah, she was just a roommate I was fucking until you came and turned my world upside down.” I laugh awkwardly because at that time, I thought it was funny how he’d do anything and everything to get my attention, but I only wanted Scott. Yes, I found Tony’s feelings for me amusing, and I know I used those feelings to my advantage. Hell, I still do. Remember, I’ve already admitted to being fucked up.
“Do you remember when you found me on that bridge when I was drunk as hell in the rain?” All I can remember about that night is wanting to die while Tony confessed his love for me. He was pleading and begging me not to jump from the bridge. He said he’d always take care of me and be everything I needed. He made the greatest promise of all: that he’d never leave me. To this day, I don’t know if I would’ve done it if Tony hadn’t talked me down, but I know he saved me from my insecurities and deepest fears.
“How could I forget it? You were trying to leave me alone in this world because you were unhappy for some reason. I had to confess how I truly felt about you. When that man answered your phone when I called you and said you were about to jump, I drove like a mad man trying to get to you in time. I thought my life was going to end that night, too.” I start to cry as I get up off the floor, but Tony pulls me back down.
“Let’s go to bed, crybaby.”
“Not yet. I want to make love to you right here on this floor.” He kisses me, and I relax into his embrace. We make love on the floor over and over. Our bodies always seem to know exactly what to do when we’re together. Only Tony can fill the aching loneliness that resides within me, just beyond my grasp. As we reach our climaxes together, I feel complete, like I’m where I’m meant to be. I don’t know how I wound up in bed some time later, but when I wake up in Tony’s arms, I drift right back to sleep with the precious gift of knowing everything is fine as long as Tony is with me.
I feel Scottie jumping on the bed to wake me up. “I’m up. I’m up, son. I’m happy you’re back home! I missed you,” I say drowsily. I can barely open my eyes as Scottie sits down and moves the hair out of my face.
As soon as he knows I’m paying attention to him, he starts speaking a mile a minute! “Yay! Mom is up! I missed you! I had so much fun at Patrick’s! We played on his xBox. When can we get an xBox? And his dad let me ride on his four-wheeler with him. That was so much fun! I wore a helmet even though I didn’t like it. We stayed up late and ate popcorn with M&Ms. Oh, Daddy is cooking again.” Oh, Lord! Let me get up before Tony burns the house down.
“I’m going down right now. Oh, and Scottie, I’m glad you had so much fun!” I get up, grab my robe, and head downstairs. I smell bacon, and I
