Absolutely Unforgivable(26)
“I can’t believe how much I missed you today,” he said gingerly. I didn’t respond, I just kept kissing his luscious lips, stopping only briefly to look into his eyes. He was irresistibly handsome.
His breath heavy, he brought his lips to my ear. “I need to be inside of you, as deep as I can go.”
I moaned shamelessly, feeling absolutely uninhibited and excited by pure lust. My body ached for him. I needed to have him inside of me too and Jeromy was eager to give me what I wanted most.
After, we laid in bed facing each other. I'd happily spend the rest of eternity wrapped in his arms. Just knowing we have an infinite number of days to spend side by side provides me more happiness than I think can bear.
He propped himself up on one elbow and began looking around the room. “What’s wrong?” I asked.
“I’m looking for ...” he started to say and then found it. He pulled a small box out of his briefcase and handed it to me as I sat up on the bed next to him.
I sat up on my knees and eyed the box carefully, cautiously, wondering what in the world he could have gotten me now. When I opened the box it revealed a shining pair of dangling earrings. They were beautiful and big and shone brightly with little clusters of small diamond chips.
“Jeromy, no. I really can’t. No. This is just too much,” I tried to object, but as usual Jeromy didn’t listen. Instead he pulled them out of the box and put them up to my ears. He helped me put them on as I stood in front of the mirror gazing at them in awe. There were dazzling. I had never owned anything like this in my life. Jeromy was just way too good to me. I didn’t deserve this.
Jeromy whispered, “I promise they cost less than the car.”
“Wait, what? Did ...” I started to say but he put a finger to my lips and said, “It’s okay. Please just enjoy them, for me.” His absurdly sexy smile made it hard to say no.
The crowd downstairs was beginning to get louder. I suddenly became acutely aware of the fact that we had a whole household full of people while I was upstairs having sex with my boyfriend.
Jeromy tilted his head to the side trying to get a grasp of what the noises were the he was hearing. “Billy must be home.”
“Yes, he has some friends over. I guess I forgot to mention that.”
“Well, we were a little distracted,” Jeromy said with a smirk on his face.
I went to the bathroom to clean myself up before heading back downstairs, but by then everyone was starting to head out. I made my way to the kitchen and started making Jeromy a sandwich. We spent the rest of the night together, alone, wrapped in each other’s arms mindlessly watching television just enjoying being together.
The next morning I got up to see what Billy had been cooking in the kitchen for breakfast but when I got there the kitchen was empty. Billy hadn’t come home last night. A wave of sadness washed over me and I didn’t know why.
Jeromy walked in the kitchen behind me, and sat down at the table reading the paper. I worked my way over to the stove and was about to make him something for breakfast but he said, “That’s okay, I’ll just take a bagel.” I went over to cabinet and pulled out the bag of bagels, toasted it and then smothered it with cream cheese and topped it with tiny bits of fresh strawberries, just the way he liked it.
I brought it over to him and then sat down beside him, lost in thought, as Jeromy ate and continued to read his paper. I drank my glass of orange juice, wondering where it was Billy could have gone last night and why he still hadn’t found his way home.
Chapter 7 – Girls, Girls, Girls
Jeromy kissed me on the forehead and then left for work while I began to think about the 4th of July. It was quickly approaching and I had an idea. I called Mindy and told her what I was thinking and she loved it. I really had only called her to tell her about it so that she could maybe help me find this perfect outfit, but she loved it so much so that she decided that all of the girls should do the same.
My idea was silly, really. I wanted to find a hot American flag themed outfit to wear for 4th of July. Mindy raced right over with Darla and Starla in tow, surprisingly they thought it was a good idea as well. We made our way to a store she knew about that had those kinds of clothes.
Every year the band played a special gig at a bar across town called Bimbo’s. It was really less of a bar and more of a triple wide trailer that had been converted into a makeshift drinking establishment that sat on a sprawling half acre. Each year they hosted a big 4th of July party in honor of the troops. It was an all day party that had smoked barbecue and a big stage set up outside where several bands played, leading up to the main attraction, which surprisingly weren’t the fireworks. When it came to Jessie’s Girl, the fireworks show played second fiddle.
