But Sometimes It Was Good

The Rain finally stopped and the next morning the sun came up......That wasn't the only thing that came up the next morning...I awoke very aroused...To my surprise ,My wife Carlotta was already awake and was staring at me and smiling...

''Ouuu Papi look at you...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...What were you dreaming about?" she laughed...

''Something very naughty."I laughed..

"Ummmmmmmmmmmm, do tell..." laughed Carlotta as she softly stroked my massive erection....

"Ohhh my god...Why aren't you asleep??Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."I said, quietly moaning...

"These murders in Ivy Hill, they have me upset....You could do something about that you know.."She said winking and kissing me on my cheek, which made me even harder,if that was possible..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh My goddddddddddddd!" I moaned...

She began blowing in my ear and then slowly running her soft hands down my legs and finding my hard and very erect penis...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu papi...you are always ready...You always want it..." she moaned...

I leaned over and kissed her on the cheek softly....She smiled at me sweetly and motioned for me to come closer...I leaned in closer and she put her arms around my neck and kissed me slowly, softly, sensuously....

"Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn girl, what am I going to do with youuu,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..???"I moaned..

"What do you want to do with me papi?" she asked seductively....I didn't answer....

We continued kissing passionately....

It was a work day...We kissed passionately like that for a good while..
.
I rolled over on top of her...I eased her nightie up and slipped her panties down. and slipped my pajama bottoms down...

I entered her slowly....


''Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu papi, you feel so gooood ,Aye Mios Dios...." she moaned..

"We aren't going to make it to work today...Not on time" I said, continuing to move in and out of her warm center....

"Yes we will ,don't worry..." she said....

"Not as horny as I am right now."I said.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she said...laughing....

 She was so warm, so wet....She felt so good,I thought I was going to lose my mind as we got caught up in a nice rhythm and began to move so smoothly...Like a smooth jazz solo...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu papi..."she cooed..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Carlotta..." I said.

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm  this is soooooooooooooooo goood..ouuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned..


''Ouuuu ayee mios dios...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"she moaned softly....She was so warm, so moist....

I thrusted into her ,first slowly, then faster and harder....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..papi.." she moaned as our bed rocked from side to side...The headboard sounded like it might come off...

"You do have the good good. Best I've EVER had in my life!!" I moaned as we began making sweet love...

She smiled and then laughed....."You are wonders for my ego." she said.


"You're wonders for me period.." I moaned.


"Awwww, you're soo sweet!" she said in between deep kisses...

We continued to kiss deeply,passionately as I rubbed those breasts of hers and continued to thrust mightily..hoping I was wrecking it like ralph as Lt. Cantrell used to say...We could hear each other's breathing more clearly than ever!!

We were making sweet zesty love in the early and hot steamy morning hours of a summer day..  Something we hadn't done in a long while..

 Carlotta and I made love well over three and a half hours...both of us climaxing mightily and holding each other tightly....

Her phone began to ring...

"Damn it..Why does the phone always have to ring at a time like this.?" I grumbled...

"Awww papi" she cooed as she stroked me softly,ignoring the phone until I came again....

The phone rang again....

"Ohh who is this?  Maybe it's Sissy..Maybe this guy dropped another body ."I thought.

 "It's not Sissy or any of the guys....This is an old friend of mine...I haven't heard from her in years...Like before I even met you." said Carlotta...looking at her phone.


"Hola" said Carlotta...


"Hola Carlotta...It is Flora..." came the voice..

"Flora!  Long time no hear from!" said Carlotta.

"I know...You had just made Detective the last time I saw you.. You still a cop?" she asked.

"Yes...Why?" asked Carlotta..


"I need you to come and get me...Get me out of here....I need to stay some place.. Some place I can be safe.."said Flora.

"What's going on with you?" asked Carlotta..

"I'm still with..With asshole..I've had it with him...He blacked my eye yesterday...I'm done with him...Can you come and get me?"

she asked..

"You really going to leave him this time?" asked Carlotta...

"Yes.. This time for good.." she said.

''We've been through this before Flora.." said Carlotta.

> "I know...I know...I'm serious.. Can you come get me...?" she asked.

"Okay.. I'll come in a few hours....but I'm in the middle murder case....So I can't waste time.." said Carlotta.

"Okay...Thank you Carlotta...Thank You." she said and hung up...

"Trouble?"I said.

"Yeah....Big Trouble...Trouble I thought I unloaded years ago."said Carlotta.


She rolled over and took her index finger and stroked my lips....Then kissed me softly...


"But let's not worry about that now.." she said.


I leaned over and kissed her on the cheek softly....She smiled at me sweetly and motioned for me to come closer...I leaned in closer and she put her arms around my neck and kissed me slowly, softly, sensuously....

"Wow...We are doing this again...ohhhh lord!" I moaned..

Carlotta giggled...


We continued kissing passionately....

It was a work day...We kissed passionately like that for a good while..
.
I rolled over on top of her...I eased her nightie up again and slipped her panties down slowly. ...I entered her slowly....once again...I couldn't believe my good fortune..

''Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu papi, you feel so gooood ,Aye Mios Dios...." she moaned..

"We aren't going to make it to work today...Not on time" I said, continuing to move in and out of her warm center....

"Yes we will ,don't worry...I've just got to stop and help my friend...I have to call Boss Lady, Rico and Jimmy" she said...."


Ummm,Let's not talk for the next hour or so"I said.


"Okay Papi" she said and smiled sweetly..

 She was so warm, so wet....She felt so good,I thought I was going to lose my mind as we got caught up in a nice rhythm and began to move so smoothly...Once more like a  a smooth jazz solo...or samba.



"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu papi..."she cooed..



"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Carlotta..." I said.

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm  this is soooooooooooooooo goood..ouuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned..



''Ouuuu ayee mios dios...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"she moaned softly....She was so warm, so moist....



I thrusted into her ,first slowly, then faster and harder....



"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..papi.." she moaned as our bed rocked from side to side...The headboard sounded like it might come off...


An hour and a half of passionate lovemaking continued....


I came so hard ,I was frightened....So did Carlotta....

She smiled sweetly and had the most serene look on her face and breathed in and breathed out....

"That was amazing...You are the best I've ever had..." she said and kissed me softly and then got up and got in the shower..

I laid across the bed in a daze!


II-

It was an overcast day as we drove through the city to her girlfriend's house..

Carlotta was silent as we drove...I looked at her and smiled..

"So you're gonna tell me or what?" I asked.

"Tell you what?" she asked..

''About you and Flora!" I said.

"Oh...It was a long time ago....Flora and I were friends.. From the old neighborhood.. Sharon and Hop know her..After I graduated from high school..

We became even closer...Sharon was in Temple then and sometimes I hardly saw her.. So Flora ,My older sister, Carmen , Mercedes and Sharon and I used to hit the clubs.. Here in Philly and in New York City..

Remember I told you that Carmen, Mercedes, Sharon and I did some modeling for Victoria's Secret and a few other places and appeared in some Hip Hop videos."said Carlotta.

"Oh yes...I've found most of it."I said. I was salivating thinking of the photos I saw of my sister in law, Carmen, Mercedes, my wife, Carlotta and Sharon ,who we worked with in panties and bras and string bikinis when they were a few years younger...Lawd! I thought.

"Oh Hush up .."she laughed..


She continued... "Carmen went to college ,Sharon was in college and soon that just left me and Flora and Mercedes...We were kind of drifting....I entered college for two years and got an Associates Degree and then went to the police academy and Flora and I didn't see each other for awhile... Years...While I was there ,there was this guy...Benjamin Delphy...a real screw up....It's a wonder he made it as far as he did in the academy...Anyway..He was kind of smart and he helped me with my homework and some of my assignments..He took things a little too far.. He had a crush on me and he wanted me to be his girl...I told him I wasn't interested and he couldn't take no for an answer...He stalked me..

Jimmy made him leave me alone.. He stole a pair of my panties and a bra and he got caught!!!"she said.

"WHAT?" I said laughing heartily..

"Yes...and that stunt got him washed out of the academy...He had to go back to Kensington, a disgrace...."she said..

"What has this got to do with Flora and today?" I asked.

"Everything...I graduate from the academy...I'm a uniform cop for a few years and finally I get promoted to Detective... This was very early in my career...I hadn't met Duke or Rico or Sissy just yet..

"I rekindled my friendship with Flora Alvarez

and guess who she was living with??"asked Carlotta.

"Your old friend Benny." I said.

"Yes...Benny had a thing for Latinas....

Flora had a small apartment in Northern Liberties and Benny was crashing with her...


The minute he saw me ,he got nervous and apprehensive.. He didn't know that we knew each other and he was worried sick that I was going to tell her about the brief time we knew each other in the police academy...But I didn't...Not until he beat her one night and fractured her collarbone..

"I told her than about him stealing my panties and bra and washing out of the academy and I arrested him for assault and battery. He despised the fact that I had graduated and become a detective....Had he graduated , he would have more than likely have been a detective by now...or at least had some rank...."said Carlotta..

"What Happened to Flora..?" I asked.

"She refused to press charges...Said she fell....They let him go...She kicked him out...But a year later...They were together again.. I saw them around Christmas..She was embarrassed to see me..but she stayed with him...I just shook my head.."said Carlotta..

"You see her again?" I asked.

"A few years later when I had my apartment in Northern Liberties...You and I had just hooked up...I saw her again...Both of her eyes were blacked....She said Benny did it..and she had left him...She was staying with a friend of ours...A few months later, She and Benny got back together and They rented a house in Ivy Hill...He got a job and he got a German Sheppard...That was the last I heard of them..." she said.

''Wow! That is some story!" I said.

We continued driving..


III-

We were back in Ivy Hill, just a few blocks from our  multiplemurder scene  of two days ago..


The house was a nice brick framed home with land separating it from the next home on the block...

Carlotta knocked on the door...We heard the sound of a German Sheppard barking...

Flora answered the door...She smiled when she saw Carlotta and hugged her and kissed her...


"Carlotta, you look soo good..." she said and then she looked at me..

"Hello mam...I'm uh Carlotta's husband.. ADA Keith Wallace." I said.

"Carlotta!!! Ouuuuuu girl, you're married now and to him!!!! Ouuuuu he is handsome...Look at him!!! " she exclaimed...

"We've been married now for four years Flora...." said Carlotta..

"Excuse me a minute..."said Flora....She fixed a bowl of food for the dog and then grabbed several suitcases and a flat screen TV and a computer, a lap top and two phones and loaded them into our SUV...She looked around the house..


"That's it.. That's all of my belongings...I'm out." she said and she got in the car with us..

We pulled off...

"Where are we taking you?" asked Carlotta..

"To this address...It's my new apartment...It's on the other side of town and he knows nothing about it...It's in my mother's maiden name...He won't know it if he tries to do a search...I've had all of thenumbers on my smartphones changed and had his number blocked. I made a down payment on it a month ago..I've been planning this for awhile now.. Socking away money and waiting."she said.

"I seeeeee....But I've heard this before Flora.Though I must admit...This is your most determined and well planned exit!" said Carlotta..

"I put up with a lot Carlotta...You know that...but I can't put up with him cheating and with him having no job to boot...He got fired from his Post Office job...A month ago..I don't know why..He lies so much...And He was cheating on me.." she said.

"How do you know that?" asked Carlotta..

"I found panties and bras under the seat of the car...Panties and Bras that weren't mine.. That was the last straw...I'm done...I think I was done a long time ...I just started socking away cash and I got this place, a place of my own..." she said.

"You working?" asked Carlotta...

"Yes..I work in New Jersey...Just started this job....My brother is going to bring me a car in a few days so I don't have to commute.." she said.

"Where is Bennie now?" I asked.

"He's in Jail.. For A DUI...He got arrested the day before yesterday...He called me..I came and got the dog, but I refused to pay his bail...He'll find someone to get him out..but by the time he gets out...I'll be long gone...And he won't be able to find me...I'm never going back to him.."said Flora..


IV-

We drove to her apartment complex...

Carlotta and I helped her bring all of her things into the apartment..We found that it was already furnished...

"Flora, your furniture is beautiful!!!"gushed Carlotta..

"I've been planning this for a long time Carlotta...Now I've made a clean break from that lowlife..."said Flora.

"Flora...tell me something....Why did you keep going back? It couldn't have just been because you didn't have anyplace to go...Your brother would have always of taken you in."said Carlotta.

"I know Carlotta...but sometimes.....sometimes it was good between me and Benjamin...it's just that the bad times began outweighing the good." she said.

Carlotta hugged her...


"Don't go back to him...If you get tempted.. Call me...Here is my card." said Carlotta.

"Ouuu look at you, Detective Carlotta Rodriguez-Wallace, Homicide-Criminal Investigative Division, Philadelphia Police.. Who would have thought that little Carlita would become such a big deal!!!"she laughed...reading the card....

"Call me Chica..." said Carlotta..

"When I call you it will  be to go dancing or to hang out."said Flora..

"Okay Chica...I'm going to hold you to that." said Carlotta.


They embraced...We waved and we drove off..

I looked at my wife...

"You think she'll go back to him?" I asked.

"No..There was something calm and final about her this time...I think she's done with him.."said Carlotta..

"I hope he doesn't find her."I said.

"I have some friends in this precinct...I'm going to arrange to have a squad car patrol this area and watch over her."said Carlotta..

I often wondered why people returned to abusive relationships...And now I knew..They returned because of memories.....Of when it used to be good!
