House Warming

ART: "Rhapsody" By Keith Mallett

Anita Jenkins was dog tired....Her Father, Sweet Dick Jenkins had driven her to the Airport in New Orleans..(They had packed her things and shipped them to Philly, peice by peice for the past two months.) She had said her goodbyes and had took off for Philadelphia on the Red Eye Flight. Why? It was the cheapest flight available at the time. Sweet Dick had a half smile as he saw what he hoped was his youngest daughter off to live her life as an adult.

He had been married only one time...To a beautiful woman...He had had two beautiful daughters with her...Mabel (his favorite) and Cora Beth, who had given him a grand daughter. He had ruined what was probably the best relationship with a woman he had ever had because , well...he hadn't gotten the nickname "Sweet Dick" Jenkins for nothing. A dalliance with an older woman a few years before he met his wife had born him his oldest daughter, Victoria..who he would sneak and see a few times while she was growing up, and who he had just become acquainted with as an adult.

Victoria had married a slick talking pastor from Philadelphia named Reverend John Struthers..
Sweet Dick had never liked him...He had the look of a player, a womanizer...from day one..and he, Sweet Dick Jenkins afterall knew a womanizer when he saw one. Vickie has sense divorced him and is married to a nice man...Deacon, Larry Weatherford.. A nice enough man..but too mild mannered for Sweet Dick's tastes...Victoria runs all over him.

Cora Beth is married to that fish eyed Clerow...a local from down here who broke his Mabel's heart and had a baby with Cora beth. All of em live in Philadelphia now. Something about that city...Sweet Dick Didn't know quite what it was. Maybe he too would wind up there eventually.

Mabel wrote him and told him that she's taken up with some Piano player named "88". What the hell kind of name was that? Thought Sweet Dick. He didn't trust musicians..they were players..and he oughta know.

As for Anita...when she arrived at the Airport...the only ones waiting for her was her sister and brother in law...Cora beth and Clerow...She really didn't know them..She had just become acquainted with them upon her last trip to Philly with Her father. She played with her neice, who was now 1 years old and took the long ride to where she would be living.

It was a nice enough little house....To her surprise...When she entered her new house..she heard a loud - "SURPRISE!!!!!!!!" The lights flicked on and there was her Older sisters, Mabel and Victoria and the person she wanted to see the most....Carlton...a six foot eight, semi-pro basketball player she had " befriended" when she was last in Philadelphia. They had met on a road trip...He was actually with another woman, but it soon became evident that he had eyes for her. Long story short...They got together and he was one of the main reasons she finalized her decision to come here to live.

Mabel cooked a delicious dinner of Fried Chicken, Red beans and rice, Hot Biscuits and Sweet Tea. Anita, Carlton, Mabel,her new boyfriend Mr. "88" (what the hell kind of name is that?),
Victoria, her husband, Larry, Cora beth , her neice Corrine and Clerow all sat to the table and had a wonderful time. Laughing, talking and getting to know one another. The meal ended and the women washed the dishes and cleaned up...While the men moved furniture and put everything in place that could be put in place... It was so nice that Cora Beth's husband..Clerow rented out properties...and was able to rent her this house, which was just a hoot and holler from
her three sisters.

One by one...everyone left... except Carlton. He stood there looking at her with a sheepish grin.

"Wow...your butt got a little bigger since I was down in New Orleans." he laughed.

"What a thing to say " she laughed.

"I aint complainin.....I like it....in fact, I want to see it." he said.

"Wow ,you don't mince words do you? You get right to it.' laughed Anita.

Carlton pulled her too him and kissed her passionately...He had been wanting to do this all afternoon and couldn't do it with all of her relatives there....She'd felt the same way too!...

"Ohhhh Carlton...Carlton....I need you inside me now..." she moaned....

"Ohhhhhh, much obliged..." he said as he unzippered his trousers and dropped them and stepped out of them...He lifted her skirt and slipped her panties down....she struggled to get out of them and finnally he ripped them off...

"Carlton!!! Those were thirty five dollars...from Victoria's Secrets." said Anita...

"I buy you another pair...come here girl..." he said as he lifted her up, which made her even hotter and lowered her on to his waiting penis.....

She grunted-"Ohhhhhhh......Ohhhhhh..." and she felt a chill through her body as he lifted her up and down and kissed her neck..she wrapped her legs around him as they fell up against the wall thrusting away and sweating profusely...

Carlton thrusted into her as though his life depended upon it...and she began to bite his neck..
She came quickly and intensely as Carlton continued to thrust a little bit longer....Soon, he no longer could contain himself and released strongly and just as intensely as did Anita...

They stood there holding each other...sweating and breathing hard....and laughing....She had missed him so much...

The next morning as they lie in bed, Carlton told her-

'Anita...I haven't been playin much ball lately...but I have an offer to play for the Thunder for 10 days...So I'll be leaving for Oklahoma at the end of the month... but until then, I'm gonna make every day I have with you count until I come back." said Carlton.

"Let's not think about you leaving...I'm just glad you're here now." said Anita.

She lay her head back and relaxed in his arms....This had been the best house warming ever! She thought to herself.
