One More Chance

ART: "Forever" By Gerald Ivey

I love waking up on a Spring Morning... Feeling the soft breeze blow across my feet which weren't covered by my sheets..I like looking out into the early morning streets, watching the cars silently drive by...hearing the birds chirp and looking at the tulips in my flower pot by the window. It is then that I realize I'm totally nude! My pants are crumpled up on the floor by the door...my shirt isn't far from it... and my shoes and socks are in the hallway. I get up and walk around my room...A black lacy bra is gone.....so are the white sheer panty hose and the stilletto heels. The dress is gone, so is the blouse. The only thing that remains of our night together is a used condom in the waste basket and the smell of her perfume still lingering in the air.

I had spent a night of love and passion with my ex-wife, Sissy....The first time we'd been together like that in years....and while I slept in perfect bliss, she'd just gotten up and left..hadn't left a note, hadn't even said good bye.. It was as if she had done to me what I had done to so many women in my life...Used me. I suppose I deserved that...

There was no trace of Corrine , my second wife...who had also divorced me...I often thought of her too...She had fought for me feircely and I had let her down....in the end she left me too. I had a feeling that she would never forgive me. I had had my season with both women..no need in going back...Time to man up and move on...Be a better man the next time.

I showered and shaved and brushed my teeth and went in the closet and put on one of my better suits and then collected my clothes from the night before and tossed them into the hamper. I was still an Attorney, Even had a small practice of my own...The work I was doing still
meant something in this town..

I walked down the Avenue, spoke to the young mothers waiting at the bus stop with their children and the hustlers out on the corner plying their trade..(They'd need my services sooner rather than later.) and headed to the small diner at the corner of my block.

"Mornin Shyster...what are you having this morning?" said Hester, the waitress jokingly.

"Blueberry Waffles and Sausage, Coffee and an Orange Juice...my regular." I said.

"I'll pay for his meal Mam." came a familiar voice.

"Wellll, I didn't expect to see you this soon ." I said tersely.

"Robert...I'm sorry..I just think things went a little too far last night..I never meant..." said Sissy
before I interupted her.

"It's okay Sissy...We all get horny and lonely at times..God knows I do." I said.

"Robert, it wasn't like that........ohhh, who am I fooling, that's all it was." she said hanging her head down.

"It's okay....Sissy...it's okay..I guess we both were lonely last night." I said.

"And Horny!" she added.

"Yeah, that too..." I added with a laugh..We both laughed....

"And what will you have Mam?" asked Hester.

"Two Eggs, fried...yolks broken, sausage, hash browns, coffee, black and orange juice right?" I said looking at Sissy.

"Robert, you remembered."she said, smiling warmly.

"Yeah, I'm good like that.." I said.

"So where do we go from here?" I asked.

"Friends?" she said.

"Friends with Benefits?" I said jokingly...

"Dog." she laughed...

We finished our meal and walked back to my apartment holding hands...I kissed her slowly as I put the key in the lock and opened the door. This time we got out of our clothes slowly and fell back into the bed slowly too.... I straddled her and kissed her softly for about as long as I could stand it...She and I both began kissing each other harder,feircer....Her skin was so soft...I got an erection just touching her, smelling her...

"You sure you're alright with this?" I asked...

"Yes Robert...Yesssss....." she said..

She softly felt my penis...and her eyes opened wide......

"Oh my God Robert..it seems even larger..."

I slowly began to suck her breasts....she moaned softly....then I began licking down her body and slowly began pleasuring her in a way she hadn't been pleasured in years I suspected by the way she began to thrash around and scream....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu......Robertttttt!!!!OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

She turned me over and took as much of me as possible in her mouth and began going up and down with a nice ryhthm....My head leaned backwards and I moaned.....
Finnally, I lay there as she raised up and lowered herself on top of me...I pulled her toward me and kissed her passionately as she moved up and down and began to scream to the top of her lungs..... We both came together ....and held each other as our bodies both seemingly went into convulsions.

We both lie in bed together the rest of the morning.......

"Robert?"

"Yeah Sissy?" I said.

"You know that we aren't going to get back together, don't you?" she said.

"Yeah...I didn't figure you'd be wanting to." I said.

"But this was very nice." she said.

"It was wonderful" I said.

"Really? Wonderful?" she said.

"It was." I said softly.

"Well, we are friends??...." she said.

"Friends with benefits???" I added...

"You are such a dog!!!....but yeah ,I guess we are after all these years." she laughed.

My Cell phone went off at that moment...I reached over and looked at it....

"C.Waters" it read.

"Who was that?" asked Sissy.

"A stalker. You're a detective....you think you can help me out with that?" I asked.

"I'll see what I can do for you." laughed Sissy as she laid her head on my chest and the cool breeze blew through the window and kissed both of our feet.
