Saturday Night Part 7
Living alone you get used to house noises and can detect the least bit of unusual activity. It is a sixth sense developed from the routine and not so routine. Cities have a rhythm to them and so do buildings; the human condition allows us to keep the chaos around us in an organized fashion, so we are not always worried about the everyday sounds. Having said that, you would think I could hear the key in the door or the silent movement in my apartment as Rachel arrived. Perhaps I am in my deepest sleep when she departs the bar and disengaged from reality for a short period, all I know is when I felt a pleasant sensation down below, I smiled before coming from a dream state to sweet reality. Rachel once again had my emotions in her control; I reached out and felt the hair on her head as she gently brought me to climax. Still in deep slumber I moaned in pleasure as her naked body came to rest next to mine, her breast touching my side and her hand stroking my hair. My last waking thought was her gentle kiss on my cheek. Returning the favor shortly after dawn, I slipped from bed as quiet as a church mouse and used the bathroom, then unable to resist my new lover, I snuck back in the bedroom and very cautiously returned the treatment Rachael had given me last night. I do not know if she ever woke up completely but I do know she showed great enthusiasm as I performed my magic on her sweet lady parts. I laid there with her for a bit until I heard her breathing shift to deeper and deeper, then scurried out to hurry up and get ready for work. I had the most superb dream last night, and Angle from heaven came down and had her way with me and all I did was enjoy the dream. May all my future nights be visited by this angel.. Dag, PS, just hit the on button and the coffee will make itself. I placed the note by the door where she would not miss it. The day was a distraction, I did my work but my mind was across town with Rachel. Going through the motions, I had frequent chills from flashing back on last night, until eventually the day ended and I took flight for home. In the stairwell I could smell a home cooked meal, and since I am one of the few cooks in the building, I crossed my fingers it meant Rachel was still home. Rachel was radiant in my satin pj's with an apron on over them., I fought the urge to run to her, we met half way and kissed and kissed and kissed some more. "I made Cock a vin, can you smell it?" I mewed as I walked arm and arm into the kitchen to admire her handiwork. "I had a dreadful day at work, I could not get you off my mind, I think I did some work but I can not swear to it." "You are too sweet Dagney, I had the most erotic dream and you were in it, I did not want to wake up because the woman making love to me was perfect."
That is all it took, we were in each others arms and headed for the bed. Our passion for each other was already ignited and as we pealed down to nothing, our minds were in unison. I lay on my back and Rachel got between my welcoming legs and our bodies touched, our kissing and fondling could not take our minds off the connection going on below. We were soon moist with perspiration and our bodies became one. Afterwards we lay arm in arm, just silent and content, her hand in mine occasionally squeezing our intertwined fingers. Getting up after a quick kiss on the lips, Rachel said,"Come on and let me make you a plate, I need to hop in the shower and get made up." I picked at my food, then decided to not squander our time, when Rachel came out of the shower, I was sitting on the toilet lid, and handed her a towel. We spent the next half hour talking about our days and the work ahead for her. "I finished your books last night, they are in my brown bag by the door, just bring tonight's home and I will get them ready for tomorrow." Blushing slightly, Rachel said, "I brought them, I feel like such a mooch, having my baby do all this work." "Oh it will cost you, dinner and a movie, when is your day off this week?"
She turned and held me and kissed me deeply, "Don't make plans for Thursday night, you are all mine. I have to run sweetie, and thanks again for the books." I got comfortable when she left, gathered the books and spread them on the kitchen table. I poured a glass of red wine and picked at my chicken as I worked. When I hit the hay, I was instantly aroused, the bed smelled of Rachel, I fell asleep with her pillow by my nose, in a very good mood. I could not have been asleep long when the phone rang, sleepily I picked it up. "Hallo?" My mind was distant. "Hi Dag, it's me, I have to let you know I can't come by tonight, I had a dozen things blow up here and also I have an appointment with my accountant tomorrow. I will have to go home and nap, then dress, can you forgive me?"
"Mmmm I forgive you, oh and Rachel, I will miss you." She signed off with a lilt in her voice and I fell back to sleep in an instant. That was Tuesday night, Rachel called again on Wednesday night and canceled, sending an assistant by for the books and to drop off new ones. Thursday I held open, she had promised a date night, so I just let the time tick by and kept up on the bookkeeping. Rachel called me at work late Thursday afternoon and asked me to meet her at the restaurant, a swank French place near Rush Street, this way she could avoid having me commute home and back to down town. Rachel was there when I arrived, she had a dirty martini in her hand when I walked in, jumping up to hug me and show me to the table. We held hands under the table cloth and made goo goo eyes whenever we were alone. I ordered the same drink she had and another for her. "Dagney, I have to confess something to you, I am such a shit." Her eyes dropped to the checkered table cloth. My heart beat raced, I was not prepared for bad news so early in a new relationship. "I should never have let you take over the books, it is way too much guilt for me. Here's the thing I am struggling to get the business in the red, so I can sell it. There is just so much work to do, I feel like I don't have the time to devote to us." I did not like where this was headed. "I need every minute to make the business work, I do not want to become a bar owner for the remainder of my life." Still eyeballing the table she continued. "Dag, I adore you, this is the best relationship I have ever had but time is too tight for me to do it justice and deal with the bar as well. I love and admire you too much to lie to you." Well this was a first, being dumped for a job, another woman sure, it is hard to cope with but a job? "Sweetie, I need a sabbatical from us, a break until we can have endless time together. I know I am asking a lot. I also realize a catch like you will
not be around long, no woman in her right mind would pass you up." Try as I might my eyes began to well up, I tried to dab them quickly so she would not notice. "Rachel there has to be another way, if you just don't love me, I can deal with that but to abandon our relationship here, I ,well I just don't know what to say." The waiter came up just then and ran off the specials, interrupting at the most inopportune time. "let's have dinner and another drink, we can talk after dinner." I hug my head and nodded agreement.
