"Hey, babe. I thought you might not be coming." He wraps me in a huge hug, and gives me a kiss."I know. Practice ran a little later than I thought. Ca...n you forgive me?" He laughs, and says maybe. He pulls me into the house, and pushes my body up against the wall with his body. He starts kissing me, and starts to undo his shirt. I pull him tighter against me, and finish unbuttoning his shirt. He sheds it, and I let my hands explore his chest. It was warm, and solid. Well, of course, he. Suddenly Mary closed her eyes and looked in the direction of the bus floor. I looked down just in time to see the back of Mary's coat as it was lifted several more inches. The hand disappeared under her coat along with the sleeve of a mans business suit. The arm kept going higher and higher. Mary never moved her head from the position of looking at the floor board.Now the arm was moving back and forth slightly in a slow sawing movement. The mans arm started to move quicker and with each upwards. "It means that I don't believe in relationships either. I have seen only fucked up relationships and seriously fucked up people. So, I have no interest either in basking in the afterglow".She caught her hair in a ponytail and the sheet fell leaving her naked to his hungry eyes."I'm sorry", he said. She attempted to cover herself again but he grabbed her hands and he forced her to stay put."Never. You understand? When you are with me you will never be ashamed of yourself, got it?" He took one. She worked for the MET, obviously. I introduced my date, Svetlana, twenty two, all legs. We kissed again on the cheek. "Give Peter my best," I said, " say hi to your mom." All the old feelings I had came flooding back to me.Two days later I got a call at work."Jimmy? Laura... hi.... yes, it was so nice to see you. You look great. I just talked to Peter. He was so happy to hear you're well and back... yes... I'm sure he'll call you now that we're back in touch. I know he misses you....me too..
