I knew he wanted me just as badly as before but he was controlling himself, as if he was frightened to let go. He seemed to enjoy my kissing and nibbl...ing and began to smile and stroke my body. He was getting hard again so I whispered in his ear, ‘Give me 15 minutes to get ready,’ and planted a big kiss on his lips. When I came out of the en-suite he was laying on the bed in his boxer shorts, I was naked because he said he liked me like that. I wasn’t shy any more about my body, I felt confident. Just then I heard the phone in the hall ringing, and a moment later my mom called, “Jeannie, it’s Jack!”I rushed out to take it. I took the instrument and pulled the long cord into my bedroom, God only knew what Jack was going to say to me.“Good morning, sweetheart!” his cheerful voice emerged from the receiver. “Sleep well I hope?”I cupped the mouthpiece for as much privacy as I could get. “I did, actually, but I got up late and, well, I’ve got a little preparing to do I guess.”“I’m so glad to. I was hoping this was not a dream. We kissed over and over, slowly with no urgency, holding each other. She looked up at me and smiled.“I need to run home for a little while, but I will be back. I want to spend the night with you. I want to wake up in your arms. Is that ok ?” she asked me. I had forgotten what it felt like to wake in the morning next to a woman. It had been so long, I barely could remember. “I would like that Beth. Please hurry.”, was all I could muster. Beth kissed me again. The taxi drops us off at my house at 2pm. The house looks the same and everything looks taken care of. I open the door and let Martina in as I walk in behind her. I look around. Except for dust, nothing has changed.I start crying as I remember the good times grandma and I had here.“I miss her so much,” I cry as Martina hugs me.“We all miss her,” she cries along with me. “I am here for you George.” The phone rings scaring the shit out of us.“I thought the phone was turned off,” I say as I answer.
