That Sinkin Feelin

THREE DAYS LATER-

Elwood and Zoey were both in Ocean City for different reasons...

 He was attending a jive ass conference for Cyclops Insurance...Since he was Co-Counsel...He had  to represent the bosses....He had come down a day after they did and he made sure his Hotel was separate  from  theirs.. So he could have his privacy....He never missed a conference meeting...and he was as usual prepared...

The meetings started at 9:00 am and ended at 12:00 noon...They had the rest of the day to do as they pleased....

He had planned on pulling some honeys...but he hadn't counted on meeting and sleeping with Attorney Zoey Easter....the woman ,who had been his ex-wife's Divorce Attorney....

Attorney Zoey Easter had some vacation time and had just taken a week long vacation...She shopped, Walked along the beach all morning and ate Breakfast alone...

At Noon, she and Elwood had lunch and then they returned to his room...

Where kissing and lovemaking commenced..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu , Elwood... ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she moaned....

"Oh My God!  Oh My God!  Oh My God! Zoey! Oh My God....You're driving me crazy...."he yelled...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh Ellllllllllwooood . Oh My God!   Oh My God! Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss! Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she moaned..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my god...We've got to stop...This can't go on...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned.

"Oh Stop saying that....ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm...oh my god..this has to go on, you are rocking my world...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." he moaned...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.."she cooed..

''Yesssssssssssss, now that's what I like...You calling me baby...Wouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"he moaned...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Elwoood....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." she cooed.

Elwood's bed made so much noise...She knew that his neighbors in the adjoining rooms could hear them....The bed squeaked and was very loud....The headboard slammed against the wall and Elwood was louder than any man she'd ever been with...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, oUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..." he moaned...

"Elwood!! Please...Everybody can hear us...It's not that good..." she said, embarrassed at the noise he was making...bad enough the bed was squeaking so loud and the headboard was about to fall off....

"Who you tellin ,it's not that good..??Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmph!  OH LORD!!!!!" he cried out..

She giggled....

 "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Elwoood....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." she cooed.

"I've never felt this good in MY LIFE!!! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed.....

SIX HOURS of sweet lovemaking  passed by slowly...

Elwood came so hard, he thought he was going to go blind...

Zoey came and came hard....her body shaking, sweat and tears running down the side of her face......She fell asleep in Elwood's arms...still slightly stroking his penis...

That was the last thing Elwood remembered before he too fell asleep!

They slept a little while..They got up, showered and dressed...Zoey had on a beautiful sundress, which Elwood loved...He could see through it...See that beautiful, sexy body of hers....He ran his hands up her dress and rested them on her behind...just squeezing her butt and moaning...

She giggled and softly removed his hands...

''Ellllllllllwoood, control yourself..." she said softly...

"I don't know that I can.." he said..

She laughed...

"Try..." she said...

They stood in his living room kissing for the next half hour!


"This isn't helping ." he said...


"I know...It isn't helping me either." she said as they continued to kiss softly....

They walked along the beach, held hands, did a little shopping had a quiet candle light dinner...

It was all very romantic and had been going on from Friday Night, when they first ran into each other up until now...Wednesday Night...

Elwood wouldn't let her pay for anything...She'd be returning to Philly with a lot more money than she expected...

He kissed her...

"Zoey....Oh My God....Your lips are so soft....I'm losing my mind...." he moaned..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu , Elwood... ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." was all she could say....

"Zoey...I-I think I'm falling in love with you..." he said.

"Elwood, stop!!!!....Just stop!!!You're in lust right now.. Not love..." said Zoey...

"No baby....I've never felt like this before...NEVER...I have to see you every day...I never get tired of seeing you of smelling you, touching you, of kissing you of making sweet love to you....I'll sell my loft when we get back...We'll move in together..."he said.

 "Whoaaaaaaaaa! Just Chill...Chill Elwood...I don't even know you....And you're talking about us moving in together...Why don't you be my boyfriend first and see how that goes...?" she said.

"So.. So you're at least thinking about us being together?" he said.

She sighed....

"Yessssssss... I'm open to giving it a try....I mean after we've done all this...I-I-I might as well.." she said..

She still had serious reservations about this...But he had been so sweet lately...Sending her fresh roses every morning...Paying for all of her meals in advance...As well as drinks...Calling her when he was on break from his conference...She had to admit.. She liked the pampering and the attention....Not to mention the mind blowing sex...It had been a long time since a man had treated her so well.. both in and out of bed!

He kissed her passionately....

"I'm crazy about you Zoey...I  swear..." he said.

"You're crazy alright..." she said.. Still wondering if he was serious or this was all a ploy to get her back in bed...

"What do you want to do?" he asked her as they quaffed down drinks at a local Cantina..

She smiled..

"Get some rest...I'm tired tonight...All that round the clock screwing tires a girl out....You never get enough...My goodness...If I'm going to be your girlfriend.. I'm going to have to get in shape huh?" she joked..

"I suppose so.." he joked.

 "Can you sleep with me without sex?" she asked..

"Is that a trick question?" He asked....Then he laughed.. "Sure." he said and took her in his arms.. He slyly ran his hands up her sundress and rubbed her legs...She softly removed his hands...

"Liar!!....You have an erection right now!" she laughed...She stroked him gently....

"I can't help it...You're so sexy..." he said..

 

"Elllllllllllllwooooooood...I'm tired...You've been screwing my brains out the past few days...Is this just about sex with you?" she asked.. softly stroking the bulge in his trousers ,which was getting harder...

"No..Noooooooooo it's not...Not this time..I really have feelings for you...I swear...Let me stay with you tonight...I'll prove it...I swear...I'm crazy about you Zoey...Ouuuuuuuu" he said...

''Are you really Elwood?" she asked..."Don't play with my heart..." she said.

"I won't...I swear.." said Elwood....

They stood on the beach and kissed passionately......She softly stroked the bulge in his trousers ,which was getting harder...She opened his trousers...She looked around..They were on a part of the beach that was literally empty....No one was around...They continued to kiss and she continued to stroke until he came , harder than he had in hours...She continued to kiss him as his body trembled...


"Now...prove to me that this is more than just sex with you." she said.


"I will baby...I'll show you....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" he said.

He drove her to her hotel and spent the night with her...He slept with her cuddled up under him...

No sex.. They just cuddled.. It was nice....He hadn't been the cuddling type....Just sex...Ejaculation and then rolling over to sleep...With Zoey...He found he liked the nearness of her, the softness of her....It was the most peaceful sleep he'd had with a woman in years...She was surprised....Shocked even..He didn't even try anything....Maybe he was tired himself...She leaned her head on his chest and allowed herself to go to sleep....

He hadn't done that with anyone except Olivia...and that had been in the early years of their marriage...He wondered if with Zoey, another petite little attorney, he was being given a second chance???...A second chance to make up for what he had done wrong with Olivia?


Zoey drifted off to sleep thinking...This had all happened a little too fast for her...Her head was spinning...Just what was she getting herself into? Was it too late to get out of this?

WOW! He really liked this girl....It was almost like a dream...Never in his life did he imagine liking this woman of all people...Life was funny like that sometimes.




II-

The next morning....He was back at his hotel..He discovered his hotel had an indoor pool... He didn't have to be at the conference today, So he put on his trunks and walked up to the indoor pool on the roof...Once there.....He nearly fainted..

It was as if he were seeing a ghost....

It was Tamika Carson....The Victoria's Secret Model he had known when he lived in his condo.....HE hadn't seen her in two years....

He remembered how she'd rocked his world...He went back to see her the next day and she blew him off...She was getting dressed...

He went to see her again and she was gone...Her apartment, empty....

She had moved to New York to live and work with her boyfriend...His co-worker...

He found out much later , he'd been canned and put out in the street....

She still had a bangin body, he thought....He wondered if she remembered him?

Turns out she did..

"Mister Barnes....Is that you? " she asked..

"It certainly is..." he said.

"What are you doing here?" she asked..

"I'm Co-counsel for Cyclops Insurance...They're here for a convention....I'm here with them...Tomorrow is the last day...I've been here all week.."he said.

"Ohhhhh, Well it's nice to see you landed on your feet....I figured you would..." she said.

"Yeah...How is Calvin?  " he asked.. Her boyfriend and Elwood's former co-worker.. Attorney Calvin Hunt...

She shrugged...

"I wouldn't know...We broke up....Delorean went completely under...He lost his job and he and I just uh drifted apart....I haven't seen him in a year....I'm still modeling...I'm down here for a photo shoot...Today is my last day." she said.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I see.." said Elwood..

"If I had known you were here....I'd of stopped by...We could have had some fun..." she said. She noticed the bulge in his trousers and softly stroked it...She looked at him and winked...

"You're still a very bad boy Misterrrrrrr Barnes....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she cooed..

"Well you know...WE UH STILL COULD...Have some fun...You uh owe me a second round." laughed Elwood..

"You are soooo naughty Mister Barnes." she giggled.  "Give me your room number...I'm going to shower and get dressed...I'll stop down." she said..

"Well Alright...You could come down in that bathing suit.." he said..

"Silly....Let me put some clothes on." she said.

III-

Within an hour...the door to Elwood's condo was flying open... Tamika Carson and Elwood were kissing passionately...He had  already relieved her of her panties and his speedos were off...They were totally nude and kissing like it was going out of style...She tossed her mini skirt and blouse in the corner...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Misterrrrr Barneeees...ouuuuu.I missed you so much.."she moaned...

"You didddd? , Show me.." he said.

She was grabbing and rubbing his engorged and hard penis very hard.....She wasn't gentle like Zoey had been...

 Ohhhhhh Mister Barnes..ouuuuuuuuuuuuu goodness..ohhhh my goddddd." she moaned as he pressed her against the wall and began devouring her huge breasts, which he couldn't get enough of..kissing in between them, kissing her neck, her earlobes..her cheeks and finally her sweet lips...

She then got on her knees and took all of him into her soft lips and mouth and began going back and forth like it was nobody's business...

"MMMMMMM, Mister Barnes..Mister Barnes......just like I remembered..ummmmmmph"she moaned and hummed....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.." he moaned as she continued sucking and licking..."just Like I remembered..whoooooooooooooooooo.." he moaned...What a vacation this had been...It was better than he imagined...He didn't expect this much sex....This would be one for the books!

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph!" He moaned...He was nearly losing his mind...

Finally They went to the bedroom..

"Oh My god...You have a nice soft bed Mr. Barnes?  Ouuuuu this is so nice...."she said...

  Elwood smiled sheepishly....

  They began kissing more and Elwood  entered her warm, wet lusciousness.. How lucky am I? He thought  "I've had some of the finest women money could buy in my time..." he mused.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."he moaned...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Mister Barnes..."she cooed...

"Babyyyyyyyyyyyy.." he said.

"Darling." she moaned..

  They made love in that room for close to Six hours....Elwood couldn't get enough...She was the sexiest woman he'd had in a long time...She smelled like a newborn baby and really knew what to do with a man in bed...She climaxed so hard..it scared even Elwood...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.." she screamed....

  Elwood came so hard it frightened him....

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...ummphhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he screamed as his body stiffened and he exploded...

She smiled...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Mistah Barnes....Oh my goodness..has it been awhile for you too?"she asked....

  He just smiled...Actually, he had been having sex with Zoey Easter all week long.. She was taking a break today...Said she had some last minute shopping to do.

"Ummmmmmmm Mister Barnes ...ouuuuuu you wore me out! Ouuuuu, you're still great in bed....Ouuuuuuuuuuu....I needed this ,It's been a few months..." said Tamika Carson....

She leaned over and kissed Elwood softly, passionately for a few minutes.....

"Goodbye Mister Barnes...It was nice seeing you and screwing you again....I needed that baby!" she giggled. "If you're ever in New York, Look me up.." she said..

"I'll be sure to do that." he said and smiled..

He drifted off to sleep!

When He woke up, Tamika was gone!!!! He was actually glad....The sex was good, but he didn't want her hanging around....He considered what they had done this afternoon, just taking care of some unfinished business...

She had really rocked Elwood's boat...All he could think about was her... for the moment.

He didn't know how long he had slept...but when he looked at the clock beside his bed..it said 4:30....

He showered and shaved and put on a nice fragrance....He went up to Tamika's floor...He knocked on her door...

Her room was open.. He entered the room.. The room was empty... She had gone...No luggage, no clothes...no nothing..

She must have checked out...

He heard a car drive up outside...

He looked out the window...He saw Tamika , with her luggage, getting into a cab and pulling off...

Just like before...She had gotten off and left...Just like a man...That was what he liked about her...She wasn't clingy...He was glad she was gone though...He realized.. She wasn't his future...Zoey was!!!!

Just as well....He was glad he had gotten a chance to go one more round with her....He was more interested in Zoey.. .Zoey was all he could think about....He didn't know if he had enough energy left to go a few more rounds in the sack with Zoey tonight, but that was ok, he didn't need to..He liked her more ...He actually liked her...He hadn't felt that way about a woman since Olivia..

IV-

It was a full moon....

Zoey and Elwood held hands and walked along the beach....

''So what did you do today?" she asked.

"Think about you.." he lied..

"If you're going to be my boyfriend, you can't be lying to me...I'm serious.." said Zoey...


He liked the way that sounded coming out of her mouth....

"I'm not lying...All I could think about was you....and being your boyfriend.." he said. They both laughed...
For once, he felt guilty about lying to a woman...He felt guilty that he had actually spent the afternoon screwing Tamika Carson's brains out!

"Really? , Being with me really means that much to you?" she asked him...

"I can't believe it myself...but it does.." he said.
It did...He told himself that all of his playing and cavorting was over...This was the one...The woman who ironically enough had tamed him...Tamika Carson was just some old business that had to be finalized...The next time she or anyone else saw him, he might be married he thought...

"Awwww...Maybe Olivia was wrong about you." said Zoey.

"No...Olivia was right about me...I was a self centered pig the entire time I was with her...She was probably the best woman I ever had and I cheated on her, lied to her...I don't blame her for leaving me and believe it or not...I'm happy she found somebody that loves her and her only...She's a good woman and I'm happy for her and proud of her..." he said..

 They took in the sights on the Boardwalk and held hands...

''Wowwww....One day...Maybe I can tell her you said that.." said Zoey....

"One day...maybe I can make amends for what I did to her...." he said.

They walked up to his room...

"Excuse Me...Let me get some wine out of the fridge and some Ice and a few glasses....." said Elwood..

He walked back in the kitchen...His phone rang...He picked it up..

"Hey Herb...What did you and the guys do today?" he said.. His back was to her...He was talking..

Zoey sat down....She felt something under her....

She got up....She saw an aqua colored pair of panties....They weren't hers.....She was astounded....

And now she understood Olivia perfectly.....She understood why Olivia left Elwood!!!

Always coming home to this.. She remembered Olivia and Beverly telling her  of getting in her own car or one of his and finding several pairs of panties and bras under the passenger seat ...None of them hers...Olivia was mortified...She remembered how embarrassed Olivia was...She remembered meeting a pregnant Olivia at her own house..in tears because there was a pair of panties and a bra in the hallway...


Elwood was insatiable...She was beginning to think he might be a sex addict...He was a silver tongued orator...He had to be...He was after all a successful attorney...He knew all the right things to say to sway a jury or a young woman into bed..

She perfectly understood all Olivia had gone through with this man...How she wanted to believe him, how she wanted to love him, how she must have let him back in and forgiven him time after time after time and how he couldn't be trusted....She understood now.. She knew...She herself had been under his spell for a few days now. Imagine being his girlfriend??  Imagine being married to him? She wasn't going through this drama.....She was not going to be the clown in this circus...

She didn't say anything...She got up and quietly let herself out...He was still talking on the phone, Still had his back to her.. She hailed a cab and went back to her hotel...

She had been here long enough...She packed her things and hailed another cab...Then she paid her bill...It was a night early, but she'd vacationed enough....How could she have been so weak? How could she have been such a fool???

She was going home...To Philadelphia.

Elwood walked out in his living room...Herb was too talkative...He hadn't meant to be on the phone with him that long...They had been talking for a half an hour. He had a bottle of wine and two glasses...

"Zo?  Zoey?" he called out...

"Zoey???  Zoey?  Baby?  Where you at?  " he asked... He couldn't believe she'd left and not said anything,..

Then he looked in the chair...He hadn't seen them before...

A pair of panties...They belonged to Tamika... SHE HAD LEFT THEM HERE WHEN SHE EXITED EARLIER!!!!!!He remembered slipping them off of her and tossing them in this very chair..

He grabbed his phone and called Zoey...but it went to voicemail...

He ran downstairs and hailed a cab...

He drove to her Hotel, but to his surprise.. Zoey was gone!!! She had checked out...

He hailed a cab and headed to the Airport...

There was no sign of her...

He sent her several texts...

"Baby, I can explain..."he wrote... "Please just call me, it's not what you think..."

Actually it was exactly what she thought..

She figured he'd be at the Airport...She never told him that she'd taken a Train...She was so glad, she'd never told him where she lived in Philly...But he did know where she worked...No matter...She wouldn't be taking his calls...He'd give up eventually....She stared out the window....She was lucky there was a train waiting to leave when she got to the train station...
Elwood...
He'd never know how close he was to stealing her heart....She'd seen the panties in the  chair as a sign from God...Not to get involved with this man...

The sex had been great....but that's all it was...Great sex....She put her headphones on and pulled up a Motown station on Pandora...Leaned back and listened to Smokey Robinson and The Miracles as she drifted off to sleep...

Zoey knew that she couldn't be involved with a man like Elwood.. He was incapable of ever settling down with one woman...That's who he was.. That's who he'd always be..

She would never tell Olivia about this...

No, Not Ever!!!

Elwood was back at his hotel...

He looked at the pair of panties....

a pair of panties that had cost him maybe the only other woman, other than Olivia Bennett,

who he might have loved...He tossed them into the waste basket.....He was that close...THAT CLOSE to being her man...To finally being a one woman man, something he had never even thought about being and he had blown it on a last minute fling...

He cried....For the first time in a long time, he cried like a baby.....He drank the bottle of wine down and continued to cry.... He cried himself to sleep....He had that sinkin feeling!
