I have had some very difficult times, and now that they are behind me, I would like to continue writing, and hopefully submit the stories you want to read. Until Tomorrow 4 Slowly my brain started to waken, but I believe it was more of the smell coffee and bacon that started working on my senses. Glancing at my alarm clock, I saw that I had another half hour I could have slept. Sitting up on the side of the bed, my feet on the floor, I noticed that the edge of the bed was still damp from last night, bringing a smile to my lips. I stood up, and walked my naked butt into the bathroom to pee. After washing my hands and brushing my teeth, I walked to the kitchen. I stopped at the doorway, seeing Shannon standing at the stove cooking. She had on a t-shirt, but each time she raised her arms I could see she didn't have any panties on. I slowly walked across the tile floor in my bare feet not making a sound. As I stopped behind Shannon, I slid my arms around her waist, causing her to jump. "Oh god! You scared the crap out of me." Shannon said as she leaned back against me. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean scare you like that," while planting kisses to the back of her neck. "That's ok, I was just lost in thought and wasn't paying attention." "What were you thinking about that got you so lost?" "Well, this is the first time we spent the night together and didn't have to rush off first thing in the morning, so I was imagining what it would be like to wake up beside you every morning and cook you some breakfast. Shannon had by then, removed all the bacon from the frying pan and turned off the stove. She loosen my arms enough so that she was able to turn around while I maintained my hold on her. With her hands now on my shoulder, she leaned in and lightly kissed my lips. Leaning back and looking at me, her face lit up with a smile as she said; "Morning sweetheart, did you get a good night's sleep last night?" "Yes I did because someone wore me out last night, and not letting me return the favor to her like I wanted too." I slid my hands down to the hem of her t-shirt, lifting it and putting both my hands on her cool butt. I pulled her to me as I leaned in kissing her soft full lips. I felt her lips start to part, so I opened my lips and met her tongue with mine. As our kiss became more passionate, I was squeezing and mashing her butt cheeks causing her to moan into my mouth. Breaking the kiss, I leaned back and brought my hands to her face, my fingertips lightly touching her chin. Just standing there, looking at her with her arms around my neck, I felt a shiver within my chest and knew immediately it was my heart beginning to swell for what I was feeling for this woman. Giving her a soft kiss on the lips, I again wrapped my arms around Shannon, picking her up off the floor holding onto her ass; "What are you doing Layla, put me down before you hurt yourself." I walked over and sat her on the edge of the table. "Something I should have done last night, but you wore me out before I could make love to you." I pushed her back laying her on the table with her legs hanging down over the side. Dragging a chair before Shannon, I sat, pulling her legs up so that her feet were now sitting on the edge of the table, knees pushed outwards, exposing her pussy before me. I ran my fingers lightly up and down over the lips of her pussy. By now, I could see her moisture forming just on the inside of those precious lips of hers. Planting a kiss on each side of her pussy, then a soft lick and kiss to her clit, I leaned back. Like the pedals of a rose, I took my fingers and slowly pulled her lips aside, exposing the depths of her pussy to me. Leaning in, I slid my tongue up the inside of her lips gathering her juices on my tongue causing a loud moan to escape Shannon's throat. I let my tongue move and circle her clit. As I started to make a second circle around it, I sucked it into my mouth, holding it with my lips while flicking it back and forth with my tongue. Shannon gave out a gasp, jerking her hips upwards forcing more of her clit into my mouth. Her hands now were on her breasts, kneading them, pinching and pulling on her harden nipples. I stopped sucking on her clit, not wanting her to cum to soon, and went back to licking the juices that were seeping out of her pussy. Pulling her lips out wider, I pushed my tongue into her, listening to her panting and moaning. Her hands were now on the back of my head while jerking her hips, trying desperately to get my lips and tongue back on her clit. Wetting my fingers with her juices, I slowly slid two fingers into her pussy as Shannon let out another deep throated moan. Her hips now raised off the table. I felt her vagina beginning to spasm on my fingers. Knowing she was on the verge of a massive orgasm, I rammed my fingers deep into her pussy while sucking her clit into my mouth, nibbling on it with my teeth as my tongue did its dance across it. I continued to ram her pussy with my fingers. I was soon rewarded with Shannon's juices and girlcum squirting out of her pussy. I kept fucking Shannon through her orgasm until she feel to the table exhausted. I finished cleaning her pussy and my fingers, then half laying on the table I wrapped Shannon into my arms and held her as she slowly recovered from her orgasm. "Oh god girl. What you do to me! You spoiled everything, I wanted to fix breakfast for you, and now I can't even move." "I'm sorry babe's, tell you what, let me help you up and we'll fix breakfast together, how's that sound?" Thinking how Shannon came so hard made me feel closer to her. "Well, if I burn the toast or something, it's all your fault!" "Come on," as I stood up pulling Shannon with me. Shannon was swaying slightly on wobbly legs, trying to get control over them. Finally standing up straight, she turned slightly me, cupping the side of my face in her hand as she held onto the table with her other hand. "Layla, you have no idea what you mean to me." She leaned in, placing a kiss on my lips as her other hand now pulled me into her as our kiss deepened. Sliding my hands to her back, one under her t-shirt, the other over it, lightly rubbing her back as we kissed. Pushing back from Shannon, while looking at her contagious smile. "Come on, let's finish breakfast." I said to her. "Ok, but your helping, and no messing around this time." As she started to giggle while turning around. "What do you want me to do?" "You can start setting the table, and make us some toast. I was going to fix some grits or hash browns, but since you don't have either, we're just having bacon and eggs with toast and coffee. "Sounds keeewl... I'm usually a light eater anyway, so that would almost be perfect." Pulling out the loaf of bread from the refrigerator, and putting two slices into the toaster. I set up the table with the dishes and silver ware, along with butter and jam. By this time, Shannon had the eggs cooked to perfection, and began putting them on the plates along with the bacon. We sat and talked and ate our breakfast, telling each other what we wanted to get done today. I explained that I need to come home and clean up, washing the bed sheets before John got home tomorrow. I said that it would probably be Monday before I even heard from the attorney again, since the agent following him wasn't due back until he also returned and walked into the apartment. "Listen, I don't have to work today, which is my normal day off anyway. Why don't I stay, do the laundry, clean up the apartment for you?" "Shannon, I can't ask you to do that. I mean I appreciate it, but you just got back from being away for a week, not come home and clean and do laundry for me, and probably yourself." "Honey, there is a reason I want to do this for you. It shouldn't take all that long to get everything done, then I can get my stuff caught up also. This way when you come home, I get to have you all evening without you trying to fix up everything;" all the while batting those baby blue eyes at me, melting my heart. "You really don't mind doing that?" "No of course not, if I did I wouldn't have brought it up in the first place, now would I?" Giving my hand a squeeze, "which reminds me, I'm going to sneak in the office and change the contract, giving you a full year. You just need to get the attorney to make him finish out the lease." Looking at the devious grin she had on her face, I felt she had something else in mind. "So tell me, what's the real reason for extending the lease Shannon?" Being caught, I could see her cheeks get a little rosy as she lowered her eyes, "well you have seen my apartment and know that it's really only an efficiency apartment, but this would be so much better for the both of us once we start living together." I sat there starring as Shannon's idea of us already living together was something I hadn't even imagined about much less considered at this point. "I'm sorry Layla, maybe I shouldn't have assumed that we would be living together, please forgive me for even considering it without talking to you first." I thought I saw the beginnings of tears forming in her eyes as she started to get up and walk away. I reached out, grabbed her wrist and pulled her backwards to me, sitting her down in my lap and wrapping my arms around her, holding her arms pinned to her sides. "You're absolutely right, you shouldn't have assumed anything without talking it over with me first..." give her what I thought was my best pissed off voice and expression. "We definitely will be talking about this tonight." I could see she was about to really start crying when I added, "We'll talk about much I am going to enjoy having breakfast cooked for me each and every morning. We're also going to talk about what it's going to be like going to sleep each night wrapped up in each other's arms." Pulling her arms free from my grasp and wrapping them around my neck, "I promise Layla, I'll never do that again without talking to you first about anything. I promise. I promise. I promise." She then pulled me into her, squeezing me so tight to her. After a minute or so, I meekly said, "Shannon let go honey." Pulling back, eyes open wide, "What's wrong, did I do something wrong? "No sweetie, I couldn't breathe, you were holding me so tight." "Oh baby, I'm sorry. Just breathe... that's it, take nice slow deep breaths. Don't ever stop breathing. You hear me?" She held my face in the palms of her hands while kissing everywhere on my face and neck. Between kisses, I finally told her, "Sorry baby, but I need to soon get ready for work, let's clean up some, then I'll take a shower." "No, you go and take your shower and take your time getting ready. I'll clean up here, since I have all day to do it." Giving her a quick kiss, I headed to the bedroom to get ready for my shower. Walking into work a little later that next morning, I felt really refreshed and alive. Everyone looking at me walking around with my ear to ear grin. Melanie stopped by my office saying how good I looked today. I thought that she really was hoping to find out what changes were in my life to make me appear so jubilant. Thinking to myself, "If you only knew how grand love feels when you're with someone who feels so right for you." The rest of the day went rather smoothly. There were no emergencies or last minute crises. I called Kathrine, but was told that she was in court, so I gave my question to June about John doing half of the rent for the rest of the lease. June said she would be glad to pass on the request. The rest of the day went rather smooth and around three thirty or so, I heard Melanie calling out to everyone if they had anything important going on. I think I heard everyone in the office yell back that nothing was happening. I heard Melanie saying, "If no one has anything going, why don't you all shut everything down and go home. There is somewhere I need to be, so if there are no objections, see you bright and early tomorrow." Getting off a little early actually was a blessing in disguise with John coming home tomorrow. I just need to check and make sure nothing is different in the apartment. After collecting everything I needed, shutting down the computer, I was out the door heading home before anyone else. Walking into the apartment, I quickly looked around and everything was spotless and picked up. Shannon did a wonderful job of getting the place ready, I really had nothing to do. I checked my e-mails. I actually checked them earlier at the office, so nothing new came in. I put the house phone on call forwarding to my cell. If I was going to be spending the night with Shannon, then I didn't want any missed calls and people either dropping by or asking questions where I was all evening and night. I got down an overnight bag, packed a few things in it, underwear, bras, makeup and a few items of clothes to wear around the house, or to quickly step out in to run to the store. I was about to grab a toothbrush, but knew Shannon would have one waiting for me when I got to her apartment. I got at least two changes of work clothes, put them in a garment bag and set everything by the door. Looking around to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything, knowing that I wouldn't be back until tomorrow evening. Feeling sure of everything I picked everything up and started out the door. A few minutes later, I was standing outside of Shannon's door. I sat my overnight bag on the floor, and just stood there looking at the door. I felt from this moment on, my life was not going to be the same. I kind of chuckled to myself thinking; "hell girl, it all changed the day you flew to Alabama." Taking a deep breath, I reached out knocking on the door. A moment or two later, I heard the door being unlocked and the knob turning. When Shannon opened the door, her eyes got as big as saucers, "Layla! What are you doing here so early? I thought you didn't get off until five in the evenings, it's just four now." Melanie closed up early today saying she had to be somewhere this afternoon." "Well that's great, more time for us, except I was going to have diner ready by the time you got home. I just put it in the over, so it's nowhere near ready." "Well, we could just sit down and talk, if you invite me in?" "Oh God! I'm sorry..." as she reached out, grabbed my arms and started pulling me inside. "Wait, my bag is still sitting outside!" Shannon stepped beside me, reaching down and grabbing the bag bringing it into the apartment. "You surprised me so, I'm a bumbling idiot now." Shannon exclaimed. Pulling Shannon to me, I gave her lips a little peck. "It's ok, relax. We have all even so there is no hurry." Putting my hand to the back of her neck, feeling her damp hair on my fingers, I pulling Shannon in for a much needed kiss. As our lips came together, as our lips parted I slid my tongue between my lips meeting her tongue. Our tongues twisting and dance over each other's tongue and lips as our passion deepened. Pulling back, "Shannon why don't you finish drying your hair while I unpacked and take a shower before dinner is ready." Shannon had already made some room for me to put my bras and panties. The blouses and slacks I brought down where hung in the clothes closet, though there was not a whole lot of room in it. I went to the kitchen area, where I set the table and made us a salad to go with our meal. Shannon cooked a pot roast with vegetables. It actually was one of the best pot roasts I think I ever had. Shannon went on telling me about her day. She told me that she got the lease changed to a full year instead of the six month lease. I told her that I called my attorney, but was busy so I left a message with the receptionist who would tell her later about a shared expense on the rent. After we had cleaned up from eating, I asked Shannon if we could just lay down and cuddle. I just wanted her to be close and have her hold me. As we lay on Shannon's bed cuddling in each other's arms, my mind began to drift to thoughts about my future and my past. I briefly had thought, is Shannon going to be another Tatianna, make love with me, use me, then off to greener pastures. Did I really want a committed relationship with a woman, and could I love and be with her for all the right reasons. As these thoughts were bouncing around in my head like ping pong balls in a closed box, I began to feel a heavy heart in not really knowing what I truly wanted. Not realizing just how tired I was, I woke up to a dark room, with Shannon beside me watching my ever move. "Welcome back sleepy head. Enjoy your little nap?" "Oh my god I'm sorry I feel asleep on you, how long was I asleep? Feeling a little embarrassed at myself. "It's just past eight, I'd say about an hour or so, but then whose counting." Shannon then got quite as we laid there looking at one another, when she asked; "Layla, is everything alright?" Asking with a concerned look on her face. "Yes baby, everything is fine, why do you ask?" "When you were asleep, you were kind of restless, mumbling in your sleep, like you were troubled about something." As she was saying this, I felt a little uneasiness in her voice. "Well other than the stress of the divorce, not really." I knew I was lying, but I really didn't have any other answers for her that even I would understand. By the look on Shannon's face I knew she felt I was lying to her. "Oh ok, I guess finding out your husband is having numerous affairs, and starting the process of a divorce is a lot on your mind." As Shannon decided not to press the issue. After a moment or two of silence, "How about I get up and fix a cup of hot tea for the both of us? Shannon had asked me. "How about you keeping your pretty butt right where it is, and I'll go and fix us some tea?" Before Shannon could answer, I crawled half way over her and starting kissing her cheeks, eyes, working my way down her nose then pressing my lips to hers. Pulling back from our kiss, "maybe the tea can wait a bit longer," as I lowered my lips to hers once more. I softly kissed her lips, then taking each lips between my teeth, I would lick the lip as I pulled on it. My hand behind her neck, my other hand on her ribs, about where her bra strap would be if she had been wearing one. Parting my lips, I slowly pressed them to hers, my tongue slipping between my lips seeking her tongue within her mouth. As our kiss became more passionate, Shannon wrapped her arm over my shoulder, behind my neck pulling me tighter as we kissed. My hand began sliding up and down her side. Sliding my hand between our bodies and cupped her breast in my hand. I felt her nipple harden in the palm of my hand and a moan in her throat. Pinching and pulling her nipple between my thumb and finger, Shannon starting sucking on my tongue, almost to the point of it being painful. Pulling back from the kiss, I raised myself to my knees, reaching down and taking Shannon's night shirt by the hem, I started pulling it up. Shannon raised her hips, then lifting her arms above her head as I pulled it over her head and tossed it to the floor. Sitting on her thighs, I slid my hands up slowly from her waist up to her arms, then letting my fingertips move across her chest, then down between each breast. While passing between her breasts, Shannon let out a coo, lifting her chest higher towards me. Moving on downwards, reaching her panties, I let the tips of my fingers trace across her stomach under the waistband of the panties. Shannon tried to raise her hips to my fingers, but the weight of me sitting on her thighs prevented her from doing so. Moving my hands upwards, again letting my fingertips tease Shannon as they made their journey towards the valley between her breasts. Just as my fingers began passing between her breasts, she again raised her chest towards me. I then cupped each orb in my hand, gently squeezing them and pinching each of the nipples. This time the moan coming from Shannon's throat was much louder and more of a rasp. I leaned over, and began licking the nipples, one at a time. As my fingers would pinch the breasts at the edge of the areole I would lick the nipple, making it stand out from the areole, and with each flick of my tongue came a moan from Shannon. Sitting back up I reached down, taking her panties by the waist band and began to pull the down. Shannon lifted her hips as they slid off her ass. Pulling them down and over her feet, I tossed them to the floor along with her night shirt. I slowly slipped my panties off, kind of like doing a strip tease then tossing them on top of Shannon's. Pushing Shannon's knees outwards, I slipped between them as my hands began caressing her calves, moving up to her thighs. My fingers moved up and across her stomach, while letting my thumbs mover over her mound. With a slight pressure on my thumbs, I pressed down on the upper part of her clit, just under her mound. Shannon gave a moan while raising her hips. I leaned in and kissed her mound, then blew gently over her slit. Shannon's hands now on my shoulders trying to pull me up to her. "No... No... This is not fair, you always try and please me, let me please you this time." Thinking that we both needed to give to each other, I quickly got to my hands and knees, turning around and straddling Shannon's head with my legs. I knew if the lights had been on, she would see just how wet I really am and how much I needed her to love me. Leaning down, I slid my hands up the inside of her thighs. As I got to her pussy, holding her legs with my hands, I licked down one side of her pussy, then up the other side. Pulling her labia open, I slid my tongue around the side of her clit, then down her slit as far as I could reach gathering up her juices. Bringing my tongue back to the top of her slit on the opposite side I continued to gather her juices causing Shannon to be almost moaning constantly while she tried to copy my moves while licking my pussy. As her tongue started it journey down my slit, I too was moaning and trying to adjust my hips to feel her tongue where I wanted it to be. So began our game of teasing each other, and who would cum first. I felt that I was going to cum very soon, as hot and needing it at this moment. I held her lips open, sliding my tongue down her slit, and pushing it deep into her waiting hole. Giving me a loud moan, which was music to my ears. I began pushing and withdrawing my tongue into Shannon. Her hips began shaking. I slid two fingers into her, pressing hard burying them to my knuckles. Shannon then sucked my clit into her mouth, nibbling and sucking on my little nub. I felt two of her fingers also slid into my wet pussy. As she was sucking on my pussy, I felt I lost control of my hips as they bouncing up and down to the rhythm of her pounding fingers and tongue. Shannon's hips also were moving with the rhythm of my fingers fucking her hard and deep. I suddenly lost all control as my pussy, I started to convulse, my stomach tightening up. Strange sounds began emanating from my lips. Shannon's pussy also clamped down on my fingers, holding me deep inside of her. As I started to slow my breathing, Shannon also was coming down from cumming so hard. I turned around and laying on top of Shannon, we both licked the juices from each other's face. Putting my head down on Shannon's shoulder; "You know butthead is coming home tomorrow, and I have no idea how long he will be here before he says that he has to leave once more." Oh God Layla. What are we going to do? I'm going to go crazy not seeing you or being near you." "I know babe's, I feel the same way." As I was running my hand up and down her arm. "Do you know how hard it is going to be, not saying anything to him about getting a divorce, or calling him an asshole?" "I can't imagine what that would be like, especially when he crawls into the same bed with you each night." "Don't worry about that honey, he hasn't touched me in so long, he probably forgot what to do when he is home, besides, he's probably so worn out from his affairs, he's probably glad I don't want sex from him anyway." Laying there snuggled up close to Shannon, "Besides all that I am is now only for you and no one else." Shannon then raised her head, looking at me; "You're not just saying that are you?" "No honey, I'm saying it because I mean it. I really don't want to share you, and I don't want anyone else but you. I'll always be here as long as you want me. I'll never leave you." Still looking at one another, I could see moisture starting to form in Shannon's eyes, I reached behind her neck and drew her in for a kiss. Using my thumb, I wiped away a tear that fell. "Honey, hold me close, don't ever let go!" Shannon wrapped her arms around me, holding me tightly. As my head laid in the crook of her arm, even though I wasn't over her heart, I could still hear it beating within her chest. Slowly I felt her breathing slow to a steady rhythmic pace. I knew my baby was asleep and holding me tightly in her arms. As I relaxed, I to fell asleep, this time it was peaceful and restful. I woke to the smell of bacon and coffee in the air. Peeking out from under the covers, I could see Shannon in the kitchen wearing a long t-shirt frying something on the stove top. I slipped out of bed, and quietly waked up behind Shannon wrapping my arms around her causing her to scream and nearly jump out of her skin. Her hands went flying up in the air, the spatula she was holding went flying off to some unknown corner of the room. "Shannon spun around within my arms, "Shit you scared the living shit out of me." I cupped her firm ass checks in my hands, "Let me feel if anything actually did come out?" "Layla!" She screamed as she hit me on my shoulders with her fists, that is so nasty, stop that." "Well, you're the one who said I scared the shit out of them, I was just checking to see if I could really do that to you." Leaning in, I started kissing her lips and nose and anything else I could touch with my lips. "Morning honey, it seems this is getting to be a normal routine, scaring you half to death in the mornings." I said as I broke away started heading towards the bathroom to pee. As I turned, Shannon gave me a slap on my butt that did sting a little. "Ouch!" I yelled while rubbing my butt, "That hurt." "It was meant to for scarring the shit out of me. Oh and good morning to you also." Coming out of the bathroom, I slipped on a t-shirt and went over to the table which was by then all laid out with scrambled eggs, biscuits covered in a white sauce, bacon and coffee with a glass of juice. "Honey, this is way too much, I'll never eat all of this?" Listen you, this is the last time I am going to be able to fix you breakfast for God knows how long, so you're going to sit, be a good girl and eat." "Yes Ma'am!" As she gave me a quick peck on the lips and went to her seat to sit down. We didn't talk too much, since this was Friday, and we would be separated for who knew how long. I for one just wished that this whole mess was over and done with so we both could just move on and do this every morning. Having finished breakfast, which I found I was a lot hungrier than I thought I was, we both started to clean up from the meal, and as our hands touched each other putting a plate into the dishwasher, Shannon looked at me, then burst into tears as she wrapped her arms around me. Between sobs and gasping for air, "I'm going to miss you so much," as she heaved and sobbed harder. I too began to cry and hold her as tight as I could, feeling the same. After a few minutes, we both started to slow our crying and stood with our hands on each other's hips looking at one another. I took the bottom of Shannon's t-shirt, pulled it up somewhat, and started to dry the tears from my eyes on the hem of her shirt, then I blew my nose into it. "Layla!" Shannon screamed, trying to jump back but I had a firm grip on her shirt holding her close to me. "Oh God girl, whatever am I going to do with you, that was so uncouth." "I had to do something, it was starting to run out of my nose and you wouldn't kiss me with snoot on my lips would you?" "eeehhh, that's even worse the blowing your nose in my shirt." Lifting my bottom of my t-shirt, I wiped her face, then out it over her nose, holding my fingers on each side of her nose, I said "ok, blow your nose," as I held the shirt to her nose. Once she was done, I asked, "Feel better now?" I reached back behind my neck, and started to pull of the t-shirt over my head, tossing it towards the bathroom. I reached to the back of Shannon's shirt also pulling it off from the back over her head. "You are so bad Layla, what am I ever going to do with you?" "You could give me a kiss, and love me, and fix me breakfast every morning, and you could wash our t-shirts in the meantime." As I wrapped her up in my arms. "hmmmm... I'll kiss you gladly," as I got a peck on my lips. "I'll love you with all my heart, but I'll be damned if I'll be your maid, but I will wash the t-shirts out because they are both mine to start with." She then hit my ass with both hands leaving a red mark on both cheeks. You go and get ready for work, I'll finish cleaning up here, then get ready to go also." I said as we gave each other another peck on the lips. Work was the usual Friday, a few inquisitive calls, but for the most part we weren't very busy. It was almost noon I receive a call back from my attorney Ms Burgess, and she assured me that it was already her intent to get John to pay half of the rent for the rest of the lease. She went on the explain that John's plane had landed some fifteen minutes ago, and that she would have three copies of the pictures by Monday morning, one for me, one for the courts and one for his attorney, should he decide to fight the divorce, which she said he probably wouldn't because of his position. She also said that he did make a lot more than what I believed he made, and therefore was going to go after a bigger settlement, even though there was no evidence that he was moving any around to hide it. I thanked her for all her work, and made an appointment with her for Monday late afternoon. I felt a little at ease knowing the apartment would be mine for at least a year, and a little excited that I was finally going to get my chance to see the kind of women my soon to be ex was seeing. When I arrived back at the apartment that evening, it was empty and no sign of John's luggage. About an hour later, John came in looking tired. He stated that his plane was late leaving Chicago and he just got in a short time ago. I of course knew he was lying through his teeth, but bit my tongue. "I was sorry you had a rough day, but I've already eaten not knowing when you were going to be home, but if you wish, you can order out. I'm going to take a long hot bath and go to bed early, I also had a rough day." Rough finding out not only is your husband a cheat, but also a liar. The weekend went quickly. I did my usual running around on Saturday. I passed through the lobby, hoping to see Shannon, but she was nowhere to be seen. On Sunday, I went and spent the day with my mom and dad. At least I didn't have to spend it in the apartment with John. Whenever I was in the apartment, John was always in the spare bedroom where he had set up an office for himself. On Monday, it was rush time as usual. People looking for any deals they might be able to get over the coming weekend. I remained fairly busy for most of the day. I did take the time to call Shannon. She was also busy, so we didn't get much of a chance to talk, but I did tell her that I missed her very much, and the first chance I got I would come and find her, no matter what. Around four o'clock I told Melanie that I had an appointment with my attorney and if it was ok to leave. Assuring me that it would be fine, I left to see Ms Burgess, my attorney. At four forty five, I walked in the reception area of the law firm and saw June hunched over looking into the monitor of her computer, her brow all wrinkled up trying to read something. "Hi June, how are you today?" "Oh hi Mrs. McBride, I doing great, how about you?" "First off June, please call me Layla, all my friends do, and I consider you a friend, and I am doing just fine now that I'm here and maybe we can really start the process going." "Ok, Layla it is. Well, Ms Burgess is with a client, and I'm afraid she is running a little late, should I buzz her to let her know you're here? "No, that will be fine, if it gets past dinner time, I'll just have her buy me dinner tonight. I really have all the time in the world today. So tell me, what were you reading when I came in?" "Oh this," as she turned the monitor towards me, "it's a legal brief I was trying to read, but lawyers have no idea who to write simple English. It is mixed with a bunch of 'whereas' and 'therefore', then they list other statues to refer to, which you have to stop reading and try and figure out if they apply to your situation. I have no idea why they make it so complicated." "I guess so they can charge us an arm and a leg for understanding what we can't." "You know Layla, you just might be right!" Chuckling a little, "I'll just go over and have a seat and maybe read something while I wait." As I started to turn, I saw June reaching down inside of her desk drawer... "Here Layla, this is mine from home," handing me a copy of Women's magazine, "at least this is written in simple English." We both giggled a little while I proceeded to a seat. As I sat reading an article in the magazine a very well dressed woman came out of Ms Burgess' office looking very pissed off. June quickly got up and went into the office, closing the door behind her. I sat, thinking that if maybe Kathrine was angry, then now might not be a good time to see her. After a few minutes passed, June opened the door, then said that I could go in now. I walked slowly towards the door, dropping the magazine off at her desk. Once inside the room, June closed the door. As I made a step or two, trying to read Kathrine, I blunted out, "if now is not really a good time, I'll gladly make another appointment at your earliest convenience when you're not so wrapped up In other problems?" Looking at me with a face showing no emotions at all, she raised her finger as to tell me to wait a moment. She picked up the phone punching a number. Shortly who ever she called answered. "Janice, are you busy? Ok... yes... can you and Bobbie meet me at the Shark Tank, say in twenty minutes? Ok, see you then." Kathrine hung up the phone and started gathering items on her desk. You told June that you had all the time in the world tonight and if I kept you waiting past diner time, I had to buy, right?" "Yes, but that other woman who just left here, I thought maybe you were a little upset and maybe would want to meet some other time?" "Oh her! She's just an opposing attorney and just found out she lost her case for her client. Pay her no mind." As she giggled like a little school girl getting her way. "Tonight you're going to meet my wife and also the agent who followed your husband around the country and took the pictures. You up for diner?" "Yes!" Walking into the parking garage, Kathrine had me get into her little red car. It was a Mercedes SLK350 Roaster. After putting her purse and papers behind the driver's seat, she got in and started to buckle up. "I only buy sports cars, because if anyone wants to car pool, I just tell them I don't have the room." I gave out a little chuckle on that, saying, "That's not a bad idea." Pulling up in front of the restaurant and the line of people standing out in the cold, I said, "maybe we should go somewhere else less crowded." As we started to get out, a young man came running up, "Ms Burgess, welcome back to the Sharks Tank." "Thank you Harold, this is my friend Layla." "Hello Ms Layla." "Hello Harold, how you this evening?" Giving me a funny look for a second, he broke into a wide grin, "I'm doing quite well thank you." Kathrine by this time had gotten her purse and papers out of the car and turning to Harold, "now you take care of my baby, you hear me?" "Yes Ms Burgess." While smiling and giving me a little wink. As we were walking towards the entrance, Kathrine was telling me that Harold was as straight as they came, but helluva nice person. Another person at the door, opened it up and again welcomed Kathrine to the Sharks Tank. I began to realize that she is well known here and must visit often to receive this kind of attention. The Maitre'D immediately spotted us and walked up to Kathrine and welcomed her. "Your table is right this way, and your guest's have already arrived. I do believe they have already ordered your favorite wine, so if you will, this way please." As we started walking, I grabbed Kathrine by the elbow, drawing up near her, "Next time I'm in a hurry, you're going to be my guest of honor, I need service like this all the time." Kathrine couldn't contain herself and burst out laughing. The Maitre'D just looked over his shoulder at us, but kept on walking. We arrived at a table near the back of the restaurant. As we approached, Kathrine took my arm, and made introductions. This lovely young woman sitting here," pointing towards the woman with short dirty blond hair, "is Janice, my lovely wife." This of course brought a big smile from Janice. "This other woman to her right is Bobbie, one of her assistants." As she rose and offered me her hand I shook it, feeling her firm grip. She had shoulder length brown hair, and the brownest eyes I think I ever saw. She was a few inches shorter than myself. Her breasts, nice B cup breasts filled out the blouse she was wearing nicely. After we were seated the Maitre"D took the wine bottle and began filling the remaining two empty glasses. I sat looking for a menu so that I might look at it and try and figure what to eat, when Kathrine noticed me looking around. "Looking for the menu?" "Yes, I was going to look at it and see what I could order." "What would you like to eat?" I opened my mouth to say something, but stopped a second to think, when Kathrine again with a straight face spoke up, "I'm sorry honey, but they don't serve that on the menu here." My mouth snapped shut realizing she meant pussy, Janice and Bobbie both began laughing and I turn a bright red, wishing I could just crawl under the table and hide. Bobbie reached over and laid her hand on my forearm; "Trust me, it took me a long time to get use to the both of them. One is as bad as the other and together, they're impossible." As Bobbie was pulling her hand back everyone kind of laughed a little. Kathrine said, "unless you have something you can't eat, tell me else I will order for you tonight." "That will be fine, I trust whatever you order will be great." "Bobbie, why don't you be begin by telling Layla all about what you found when you followed John across the country." Kathrine said while smiling at me. She began by telling me that whenever John flew, he would always fly first class, and each time she would wear a different disguise so that he wouldn't recognize her. Through her contact with the airline, she was able to get his entire flight schedule and made arrangements to be onboard the same flight he was on. She stated that in each city, after he checked into a hotel, he then went to an office building, but did not follow for fear that eventually he might recognize her letting him know that he was being followed. After he left each office, he would meet up with a young lady, and then go to a restaurant, then back to the hotel, but sometimes going straight to the hotel. "Tell me, what time did his flight arrive back here in DC, and where did he go, because he said his flight had been delayed out of Chicago and got home near seven PM." "His flight arrived at ten thirty from Huston TX. He left the airport parking garage by eleven forty five. He went directly to six twenty one Birch Ave. When he arrived he proceeded to apartment 251. Looking at the mail boxes I determined that it belonged to a Wanda Pander. That is all the information I have on her." I sat there, stunned into complete silence. Slowly I felt the tears beginning to form in my eyes. I stood and excused myself stating that I need to go to the restroom. While standing in the restroom, I couldn't hold back any longer and starting cry, almost to the point of sobbing. My shoulders were shaking, when I felt someone's putting tissues into my hands. Through blurry eyes I was able to make out Kathrine standing there. "Oh Kathrine, I'm so sorry for spoiling your evening with your wife and her friend." I started crying again, this time Kathrine pulled me in, giving me a hug and laid my head on her shoulder. I finally got my crying under control, stepped back, and lowered my head. "Over the past year, I may not have been the perfect wife, but I was lonely, bored and will admit, starving for love and affection. Now I feel like I was nothing more than a stupid ignorant trophy wife." About this time another lady had entered the restroom, looked at us a moment, then went into the nearest stall. I really didn't care at this point. "Kathrine, I want you to hang him by the balls, hang him so high he'll need an oxygen mask." I then heard a muffled giggle coming from the stall behind me, knowing it was the woman who walked in a short time ago. Again, I really didn't care anymore. "Can you do that for me Kathrine?" "Honey when I get done with him, his attorney won't even want to deal with him, promise." "Good, now you go order for me while I fix my face, and thank you for everything." "Sure babes, take your time, we have all evening." She put her hand on my arm, giving it a gentle squeeze. I was standing at the counter, re-applying my eye liner when the woman came out of the stall. She went to the other sink and began washing her hands. "Let me guess, just found out your husband was out cheating on you, right?" Looking at her in the mirror, I gave her a slight smile, "Soon to be ex-husband and yes to the second part." Her smile grew wider, "Go get 'em girl, make the bastard pay." I smiled back and nodded my head, "Oh he will." Just as I sat down, our food started to arrive. There wasn't much on the plate, but by the time I had received the seventh course, a fluffy cheese cake made with yogurt covered with a sweet, but tangy cherry sauce. I was stuffed, and wasn't afraid to let everyone know it. I saw the Maitre'D about to pass by us, and motioned him over to me. Everyone kind of looked at me, wondering what I was about to do. When he arrived, I reached out and took his hand, half turning in my seat: "Please tell the chef that this is one of the best meals I have had in a long time. If could personally do it. I would." "Yes, Madam, I will personally tell him myself what you just said." With that he turn on his heel and walk away. After he got out of ear shot, I lowered my head and almost in a whisper I said, "Actually it was the best meal I ever had." While finishing up the wine, Bobbie put her hand on my arm. "Layla, I have signed off on your case, but for you, I am going to find out everything I can on this Wanda person and give it to Kathrine. I'm doing this because I want to do it." Putting my hand on top of Bobbie's, "If you're sure, I mean if Kathrine thinks it might help?" "Can't hurt, why not?" Kathrine said. "Thank you Bobbie." I leaned over, giving her a half hug over the corner of the table. On the way back to Kathrine's office, she explained that she will have the papers drawn up and a currier will bring them by the office tomorrow, I was to sign where indicated and the second copy will be mine to keep. She also said that he will wait until all the papers are signed then put them in another envelope and seal it and return them to the office where she can them have them filed with the courts. "When do you think they would be served on him?" "Well, if all goes well, as early as late tomorrow evening, why? "I'm just not sure when he is leaving town again, and when he does, he will be gone for at least a week or more." "Tell you what, you have my cell number on the back of the card I gave you, don't you?" "Yes." "As soon as you find out, night or day, call me. I may have to expedite things, but I agree, let's get the process rolling as soon as possible." We rode in silence for a few minutes when she spoke up again... "Don't worry honey, when I start turning the screws, you'll be able to hear him yell from Maryland." I laughed a little, looking over at her as she gave me a little wink. "You know, you have the perfect wife in Janice. I'm so jealous, not of you, but of the both of you. You both look so happy and content with one another. Anyone can find a spark, but I know it takes work and dedication to make that spark glow into a warm and caring relationship. Maybe one day I might have the same." "Thank you Layla for saying that. I really means a lot to me, just hearing you say it. I'm sure that one day, you will find your spark and make it glow also. As she handed me my copy of the prints, she asked if I wanted them or to hold onto them until his attorney contacted her. I just told her to hang onto them. I got into my car and drove straight home. When I got home, John was in his office doing his thing whatever that really is or was. After taking off my coat and putting my purse on the table near the door, I went to the kitchen to prepare a cup of tea to drink as I relax and went over the events during dinner. Just as the water was about to boil, John stuck his head in the door and said, "Kind of late tonight, heavy date?" "We had a late meeting I had to attend about future projections." I knew I wasn't lying, but then he'll find out the true meaning soon enough. "So I suppose we're not going to be eating this evening?" "I really don't feel like fixing anything, but I can order you some take out, you want pizza or Chinese?" "No, that's ok, I'll just get dressed and run to the deli on the corner and get a bite, maybe I have a drink or two while I am out." I wondered for a brief second if that also included Wanda Pander and what kind of drink she was offering? As I settled on the sofa, my hand caressed the cushion beside me, remembering when Shannon and I made love on this very sofa not so long ago. In my mind, I was wondering if her scent was still on the cushion. Just as John was to leave the apartment, he dropped a bomb shell on me. "I almost forgot to tell you, I leave tomorrow afternoon, so I won't be here when you get home tomorrow. I should be gone two weeks this time." As the door closed, counting to ten, I yelled, "Shit!" Even for John, this was quick. He usually was home for about five days at a time. Quickly getting up and grabbing my purse, I duped the contents out on the coffee table searching for Kathrine's business card. Finding it, I sat back down, grabbing the phone. "Hello Katherine, this is Layla. No, I'm fine, but I think we have a slight situation at hand. John has just informed me that he is leaving tomorrow afternoon sometime." "I don't have to be in until eight in the morning, but I can be at your office by four AM if you need me to be there. Ok, I be there by seven AM. Sorry to call you so late about my problems, but I do appreciate everything you are doing for me. See you at seven. Bye!" Feeling a little better, I began picking up the items from my purse and returning them. Taking a sip of my tea, which had grown cold, I stood and headed to the kitchen putting the cup in the sink, turning out the lights, I headed to the bedroom to pick out tomorrows clothes, take a shower and go to bed early for a change. Having left Katherine's office by seven thirty, gave me just enough time to get to work without being late, barring and traffic jams, which Washington is noted for. The day had gone very well for a change, no problems, then at three twenty my phone started ringing. I noticed that it was John calling. Giving a half smile, I figured he was just served. "Hello Layla McBride speaking." "What in God's name are you doing Layla?" "What do you mean John?" "You know what I mean, filing divorce papers on me just as I am about to leave town." "As a matter of fact, the serving of the papers just happened to be a coincidence to your leaving. But if you must know, I've been thinking on this for some time now. I will have the door locks changed, and will leave word with the manager that we are now officially separated and you are not to be let into the apartment without me present. I will have your bags all packed by the time you get back and in your office. Just bring a truck to load everything up, unless you would prefer me to send them to Wanda Panders for you." John began to sputter a word or two before he quickly said, "We'll talk when I get back." And hung up the phone. Gently setting the phone back onto its cradle, I pumped my fists into the air, shouting, "YES!" I got up out of my chair and started doing a crazy little dance around my desk, clicking my heels together before noticing Melanie and a couple other office workers looking at me with bewildered looks on their faces. Melanie then asked, "Layla, is everything alright?" "Oh yes! Everything is good, matter of fact it's perfect, maybe more than perfect." I reached out and gave Melanie a big hug, then reached and gave each of the other workers hugs also. Everyone was still staring at me like I really lost it big time while I did a little sashay dance back to my chair. Melanie then motioned everyone back to their desks, while she stepped into my office and started to close the door. "Ok Layla, tell me, what was all that about a few minutes ago?" With my elbows on my desk, I was clapping my hands together like a child would at seeing her favorite cartoon on TV, "John was served the divorce papers as he was boarding his flight to God knows where and I really don't care where. I can't believe it's really going to become a reality." Melanie raised her hands shouting, "Hallelujah!" She proceeded to walk around my desk as I stood and gave me a big hug. Pulling back a little, she looked into my eyes and said that I deserve the best and now it was my time to go out and get it." I squeezed her once more and whispered, "Thank you," into her ear. As she was about to leave my office, she turned and said, "don't wait too long to tell the others my news, you know they are dying to know what it's all about." I sat at my desk, collecting my thoughts before I went out and told everyone what was going on, and that I really wasn't going crazy, if getting a divorce was a sane thing, then I was as sane as everyone else. I got home at five thirty, went to the apartment, checked for any messages, which there were none, stripped out of my work clothes and jumped into the shower. After drying my hair, and applying a little makeup, I threw some clothes into a large handbag, slipped on my sandals, put the house phone on forward to my cell phone, put on a long coat, turned off the lights and grabbed my stuff and headed down to Shannon's apartment naked as a jay bird under my coat. Surprise! Surprise! Surprise... Shannon will never know what hit her in a few short minutes. Standing in front of her door, instead of using the key she gave me, I knocked lightly, standing aside so she couldn't see me through the peep hole. As she was opening the door, I stepped aside of her and entered the apartment, walking over to the sofa, dropping my handbag, turning around and slipped off my sandals, the slowly unbuttoned my coat pulling it off my shoulders and letting it drop to the floor, standing before Shannon, mouth wide open along with the door, naked in all my glory. "Shannon, don't stand there with your mouth open catching flies, shut the door and take off your clothes and come over here and fuck me." Shannon's lips were moving, but no sound was coming out. Suddenly, she grabbed the door and slammed it shut. She then started to take her clothes off. As she worked on removing her clothes, she would say a word or two, then try and concentrate on what she was doing. When her zipper got stuck, in the middle of a senseless question, it took every ounce of concentration to keep from rolling on the floor laughing my naked ass off at her. I could feel my pussy getting wet, just standing there looking at the woman I grew to love so much. As she shed the last of her clothes, I caught her panties in midair, holding them to my nose, inhaling her aroma, the scent of the woman I loved so much. Shannon took two small steps before she sprinted the last few feet to me, jumping into my arms and knocking me backwards onto the sofa. As I was falling back, I gave a squeal of surprise and excitement as she landed on top of me. We both began raining kisses on each other's face. After a few minutes, I placed my hands on her cheeks, looking at her, "wouldn't it be more comfortable on the bed?" "You turd, first you knock on the door, stand aside so I can't see who it is, then come waltzing in here nearly naked. Just what the fuck do you expect out of me, do you have any idea how long it's been since I felt your lips on mine?" "About as long as I felt yours on mine. Now get off me and let's move to the bed." As Shannon started to twist to get off me, she fell to the floor with a loud thump, and a louder moan escaping her lips. I could no longer hold it back and I burst out laughing at her. Shannon half got up, then grabbed my arm pulling me off the sofa onto the floor beside her. I loud moan escaped my lips. It was not a moan of pleasure, but a moan of pain as I ass hit the floor. We both sat there laughing at each other. As the laughter died down, Shannon managed to get up, pulling me up with her. With both of us now standing, we fell into each other's arms, our lips pressed onto the others. I reached around Shannon, pulling her ass to me, grinding my pelvis into hers. I could feel our juices mixing on each other. As I started to moan into her mouth, I pushed my tongue into her mouth, running it over her teeth, then going deeper searching her tongue. She starting sucking on my tongue, while using her tongue to flick at mine. Pulling back from each other, I grabbed her hand and began to lead her to the bed. Once on the bed, I rolled on top of Shannon, holding both hands above her head, I began kissing her lips, lightly biting on each lip, then gently licking it. I kissed her nose, across her eyebrows, on her eyes, and cheeks, returning to her lips, licking them with my tongue, lightly grazing them with my lips. I slid down, kissing her neck, doing out to her shoulders, where I sucked on her skin, leaving little bruise marks, knowing that they would not show when dressed. Coming back to her neck, I started going lower until I reached the top of her breasts. Letting go of her hands, I slid my hands down until I got to her upper arms. Slightly pushing on them, letting her know I wanted her arms to remain in place for now. I again starting giving light nibbles and kisses on her breasts, going up and around the areole, but not touching them. Shannon had now began to push her chest upwards, trying to get me to kiss and suck on her nipples, which I could see were now hard as little rocks. As Shannon started giving little moans and grunts, I knew it was time to give her some relief. Starting on the outside of her breast, I slowly worked my way towards her nipple. As I reached the nipple, I let my tongue circle her nipple, I flicking it with my tongue, causing Shannon to moan and push her chest higher. I sucked her nipple into my mouth, lightly chewing on the nipple as I continued to suck on it. When I pulled my mouth from her nipple, Shannon cried out, "Oh Fuck!" Quickly going to her other breast, I wasted no time in sucking the nipple into my mouth, again lightly chewing on it as I sucked hard on her nipple. By this time, Shannon had moved her hands to be back of my head, pressing me onto her breast, as I sucked and nibbled on her nipple. It appeared that she was constantly moaning, her pelvis pressing into my stomach. Pulling away from her breast, I started sliding lower, nibbling on her smooth cool skin, giving her little bites here and there. I licked around her belly button, before going lower, following the thin hair line from her navel to her now soaked pussy. Shannon's hands now were pushing with more urgency. I just resisted her pushing, taking a detour to the side towards her hip, then slowly back across her lower abdomen just above her mons to her other hip. As I crossed over her mons, Shannon parted her legs wider, which caused me to inhale her womanly scent. After kissing her other hip, I quickly returned to her mons, again nibbling on them, before licking each side. Shannon tried desperately to move her hips trying to catch my lips. I placed my hands under her knees, pushing them up until her knees were pressing onto her breasts. Looking into her now open pussy, I could see her juices pooled just inside and her lips wet with a line trailing down to her anus. Lowering my head, I rimmed her anus, getting her juices. Shannon gave a long low moan while raising her hips higher forcing my tongue to press on her little rose bud. Slowly I licked high and high pushing my tongue into her pussy, gathering her juices and drinking them down. Withdrawing my tongue from within her, I started licking her labia, chewing and pulling on them. I knew by now Shannon was about to reach her limit of teasing. Her hands on my head had become more insistent in trying guide me to her clit. It was at this time she called out... "Layla, you fucking bitch, eat me, fuck me... I need it so bad... Please!" Taking one last deep swipe with my tongue into her pussy, I went directly to her clit, gently kissing it and licking around it before sucking it into my mouth. As I was gently sucking on her clit, I slowly slid two fingers into her soaked pussy, as I pushed them into her to the knuckles, I felt the walls of her vagina clamping down on my fingers. As I slowly started to pull my fingers from her pussy, I started sucking harder on her clit. With my fingertips at the entrance of her pussy, I added a third finger, and again slid them in deep until my knuckles were pressing on her lips. Wanting to take her higher and higher, I started slowly fucking her with my fingers, while continuing to lick and suck on her clit. I felt Shannon start to reach the verge of her orgasm, turned my hand upwards, letting my fingers caress her G spot. I let my other hand open her lips, exposing her clit to my waiting lips and tongue. With me caressing her sack and G spot, I sucked harder on her clit. Shannon began to buck and stiffen her body. Her vagina began clamping down hard on my fingers. Taking my thumb and forefinger, I pinched her clit and rubbed it between my fingers while covering her pussy with my mouth to catch all of her girlcum. It was almost an agonizing scream groan you could ever have heard as she peaked. Her hips were at least a foot off the bed as she held onto her legs. I felt squirt after squirt into my mouth. I eased up on her clit, not wanting to make it to sensitive, while continuing licking her pussy and fingers as I pulled them from within her. Lowering her legs, I crawled up and half laid on Shannon and half off her, I was lightly caressing her face, as I nuzzled into her neck. As I laid there, watching my beautiful baby lay beside me, resting... no, she has fallen asleep on me, her mouth slightly agape open, her breathing slow and steady. Reaching down, I pulled the covers up over the both of us. Laying my head back down on Shannon, I never felt so at peace before in my life. Not having sex in so long, my dreams were constantly being filled with Shannon and I making love every second of the day. My dreams were of her putting on the strap-on and fucking me senseless. Feeling the wetness between my legs growing, I started to reach down to my pussy when my fingers encountered hair and a bobbing head licking my now soaked pussy. Realizing where I was, I gently held onto the Shannon's head, "Oh my precious baby, don't ever stop loving me." The only answer I received was a loud moan, and fingers grasping my nipples and rubbing and pulling on them. I knew I wasn't going to last long, having gone for so long without sex, I started moaning and humping my hips to my lovers mouth and tongue. Suddenly Shannon pulled away, I nearly cried while saying; "No baby, I was so close, I need it, I need you so bad right now... Please baby..." My legs were being lifted and pushed up to my chest. Shannon put my hands behind my knees to hold them in place. She spread my knees open wider, exposing my open pussy to her. Lowering her head, she lightly licked my clit, using her hand to spread my lips open exposing my little nub, she circled it a few times with her tongue before going lower, her tongue going deep into my pussy, going lower and lower, I felt her tongue begin to rim my ass. Using her hand to spread my cheeks open more, she began pressing harder with her tongue until it slipped inside, sending reverberations throughout out my body. As her tongue began fucking my ass, I felt a fingertip entering my pussy, as another finger began lightly rubbing my clit. I began moaning and humping my hips up and down on her tongue now buried deep in my ass. As I started into my orgasm, Shannon again pulled back, but this time she starting licking upwards, her tongue sliding into my soaked pussy. Again she was tongue fucking me, this time in my pussy. I could hear her sucking up my juices and they were now flowing freely. The finger that she had partially inserted into my pussy was being pressed into my ass. Relaxing my ass her finger started sliding in, at least to the first knuckle, then stopping letting me adjust to it. Her thumb and forefinger was constantly rubbing and pulling on my clit. After a few minutes of her sucking, and sliding her finger in my ass, I felt two of her other fingers now entering my pussy and her lips sucking on my clit. I was constant moaning, my hips were franticly bucking in every direction. Every nerve cell in my body seemed to be alive and electrically charged. With both my pussy being fucked deep and hard and my ass being rimed by her finger, Shannon bit down on my clit, sending me over the edge. Sounds I didn't even recognized escaped my throat. Suddenly Shannon rammed her finger deep into my ass, forcing my clit even deeper into her waiting mouth. My body seemed to be paralyzed in a ridged state of eternal bliss. As I came back to the here and now, Shannon was lying on top of me, kissing my lips. Taking her face in my hands I looked into her eyes whispering, "I love you so much." We kissed again, this time full of passion and love for one another. We both laid there, entwined in each other's arms and legs, when suddenly Shannon sat up, "Layla, the last thing I ever expected today, or any day for that matter was my beautiful woman walking into my apartment nearly naked. I don't think I could ever top that, but tell me, what brought all this on?" "Tell you what, let me go and pee, and while you fix us something to eat because I am starving to death, I will tell you the whole story, Deal?" "Deal, but I get to pee first, I got to go so bad." As she jumped up from the bed and ran to the bathroom. While she was in the bathroom, I pulled out a night shirt from my bag and began to slip it on as Shannon exited the bathroom. I could almost see the look of disappointment on her face seeing me standing there with a shirt covering up my body. "Don't worry, you'll get to see my tits and pussy for as long as you want me to be with you, and I hope it's going to be forever. Walking up to me, putting her arms around my neck, "Let's make that forever and a day, just to make sure." After giving me a kiss on the lips, she also put on her shorty robe and headed to the kitchen area, as I sat down at the table and began to tell my story about John being served, and how I wanted someone with a little influence at the complex to change the locks on my doors and allow no one entry unless I was there. I also explained how I had put the phone on call forward to my cell, and no matter what was going on, I had to answer it, letting anyone think I was not out, but at home. Shannon had fixed us a plate of left over spaghetti and sauce with a bottle of red wine, which I thought tasted very good. While sitting at the table, sipping my wine, I pondered over a question I wanted to ask Shannon, but before I could find a way of asking her, I heard her almost shout, "Layla!" "What? I'm right here." "No you weren't, I called your name several times, your body is here, but your mind is God knows where." "There is something I want to say, and something I want to ask, and I'm not sure how to put either of them to you." "Just tell me, or ask me and we'll work through it together, ok?" "Shannon, it's been hell the past few days, not seeing you and worse, not holding or kissing you. Your apartment is so much smaller, but if you stayed with me in mine, if the phone rings, you're going to have to dress and run in seconds. I just feel so confused." "Layla, it won't last forever, why don't you just move in with me. Keep your phone on call forwarding. That way you would not have to worry about any extra items of clothing left lying around. Even if you went back to your apartment in only a robe, nothing would look out of place." "You sure about this, I mean with me kind of moving in with you, taking up what little space you do have left?" "Yes, I am very sure. Every couple of days or so, you can always go to your apartment and check on everything, switch out some clothing if needed. Leave the bed unmade should it ever need to look like you were sleeping." "Let's clean up and turn in, I want to hold and cuddle with you the rest of the night." "Deal girl, you go and use the bathroom while I start picking up, then we'll switch, getting to bed faster to feel your arms and legs wrapped around me all night." It didn't take too long to clean up and for each of us to brush our teeth before jumping into bed. Before turning out the lights, I saw Shannon setting the alarm clock to an earlier time, allowing me to go back to my apartment and get ready for work. Four days later, I had received a call from John, saying he would be back in town by the following Wednesday and if he could stop by and pick up a change of clothes, then return and get the rest of his belongings on Saturday. I agreed that he could pick up a few items on Wednesday at six PM, and to be here by ten AM on Saturday for the rest of his belongings. No matter what he had told me on the phone, Shannon and I kept up our sleeping arrangement, staying on the safe side. John had finally came back to town, and by Saturday noon removed all his belongings from the apartment. He had by now hired his own divorce attorney, and we were all supposed to meet at Kathrine's office in two weeks. I suppose you might say that this is where the shit hits the fan and I come up smelling like roses, or... Sunday, I knew I now needed to go and face my parents about what is going on, before he told them and being seconded handed from their own daughter. I had told Shannon that I was going to tell my parents about the divorce. I could see a pained look on her face, knowing what I was about to do. I told her that I had no idea what time I would be back, but not to wait up for me, and I would come to her bed. At first my mother was all up in arms about me getting the divorce, but when I told them of all the affairs he has been having and even dropping Wanda's name and how with his high security clearance, when it did finally come down, I really didn't want to be in the middle of it all. My father finally come to my rescue and told my mother that I was absolutely right in what I was doing and that they should stand behind me. Time seemed to be dragging on. Shannon tried her best to keep my spirits up, but with so much on my mind, I was a nervous wreck. Melanie would come and sit with me in my office, letting me know she was there for me if needed. Finally the day arrived that we were to have our meeting, both attorney's and of course John and myself. I barely had gotten any sleep the night before, and about an hour before I was supposed to leave, I was kneeling before the toilet, throwing up my guts. Shannon wanted to go with me, if anything for moral support, but I told her it was probably best she not be seen with me just yet. In Kathrine's office, seated around her conference table was Kathrine beside me, Janice with the pictures and follow-up paper work, and June who was at the far end, take notes of the meeting. Across the table was of course John, and what I immediately thought as a real sleaze ball of an attorney. Thin faced with what you would call a pencil mustache. His skin was pale white, about the color of a sheet of paper, and with those brown eyes, looking like pits into an endless void. I soon learned that his name was Stanley Connors. As the meeting got under way and everyone was introduced to one another, Mr. Connors slid a copy of his proposal across the table towards Kathrine saying that the terms of my proposal were unacceptable, and that many changes were to be made. I was going to have to pay John alimony, surrender the apartment to him, and of course pay for the entire divorce proceedings, due to my abandonment of the marriage. I looked over at Kathrine, who sat straight, with a very passive look on her face. As far as I could see, she was showing absolutely no emotion at all. I crossed my fingers under the table, hoping that she really did have a plan or I was totally screwed. I then saw a faint smile come to Kathrine's lips as she slid his proposal back across the table without even glancing at it. "I'm sorry Mr. Conners, but our proposal is what will be signed by the judge. Let me tell you why and how all this is going to come down." With a slight nod towards Janice, she stood, opened her folder and began laying out the pictures of John and with each of his affairs. Even though there were only a few women, Bobbie had taken a lot of pictures, which I also noticed that some of the women were the same, but wearing different clothes. "As you can see, Mr. McBride has been keeping himself rather busy during his business trips. Here is the way it's going to go down. I have filled irreconcilable differences. Now in this filling, nothing else needs to be presented. If you choose to fight this, I will amend it to adultery, and we will use these pictures as proof." At this point, John's jaw was very slack, and if it was an expression of shock, his attorney never had an idea this was coming. "Mr. McBride, working for the defense department, you are under strict guidelines of conduct, and any court proceedings will be examined. When we enter these photos as evidence, of course the defense department and justice department will also be viewing these same photos. Do I need to elaborate any farther as to what will happen to you, saying nothing about your career? Trust me Mr. McBride, this might seem like a lot to you now, but it's not something you can't get through, while building your life up again and moving on." Mr. Connors then spoke up; "May we have a few minutes to talk in privacy? "Yes, of course." Kathrine said, "Ladies, let's let them have a few minutes alone." Rising, I followed Kathrine and Janice out of the conference room with June close behind and into Kathrine's office. Once inside and the door was closed, my knees finally almost gave out, and if it hadn't been for June catching me, I would have fallen. They all quickly helped me sit down. June went and got me some water to drink, with Kathrine kneeling beside my chair telling me to be strong just a little longer, that it's almost over and we just may get everything we wanted. What seemed like forever, June came back into the office and announced that they were ready for us to return to continue the meeting. As we walked back into the conference room, I noticed John's head kind of hang in defeat. After we were all seated and June nodded to Kathrine that she was ready. "Mr. Conners, have you come to a decision? "Yes we have, but we do want some assurances about the photographs. We don't want them to appear at a later date in some form of blackmail or other type of coercion." Mr. Conners, there are only three copies of the pictures, and all three are in this room now. Mrs. McBride hasn't even looked at them yet, nor does she actually have a copy of them. After signing off on this divorce, you also may walk out with all three copies. We are only here for the divorce, not to ruin anyone's life or career. Now, is there any other questions I may answer, or can we proceed with the signing?" "No, I think you have satisfied our concerns." As he looked over at John, who gave a nod of his head that he was satisfied. Within half an hour, we both had signed all the papers necessary, and after John and his attorney had left, I again collapsed in Kathrine's office chair and began to cry. I really wasn't crying because I was sad or anything, well, maybe a little... It's kind of hard to forget eight years of your life like nothing happened. All the while I was crying, I kept babbling to Kathrine and Janice how thankful I was for their help and support, and I really was crying for joy and not sadness. Kathrine had said that she has seen this many times, and bought tissues by the case just to have on hand. Collecting my copy of the signed divorce decree, I hurried out heading back to the apartments to tell Shannon that it was finally over and that we could be together. I knew I was very excited, so I just took my time so as not to get into an accident or anything. Instead of parking in my regular spot, I parked in front of the building, right next to the leasing office. Rushing into the leasing office, I ran around Shannon's desk, waving the copy of the signed divorce papers while jumping into her arms. "See, all the papers are signed and we got everything I had asked for." As I flipped through the pages showing her. I then dropped the papers onto her desk, taking her face in my hands and kissing her with all the passion I had inside of myself. Suddenly her phone intercom came alive, "Ms Cook, someone here to see you." "Be right back baby, I'll make this fast, no matter what it's about." Shannon turned and opened the door and walked out into the lobby. I soon began to hear angry voices, which sounded like John's for a moment. Getting up from my chair, I walk out the door, to see John pulling a gun from inside of his jacket. As he raised the gun, I scream "No" and pushed Shannon to the side just as the gun went off. I felt like what only can be described as being kicked by a mule in the chest. I was slammed back against the door frame, then slowly sliding down to the floor. I heard screams, and what sounded like two more gun shots and more screams. I laid there, looking at the ceiling, my body numb with pain. From out of nowhere, Shannon's face appeared above mine. She was yelling at me, but it seemed as if time had slowed down to a crawl. Her lips were moving, but as I looked at her, I could not hear what she was saying. Finally I suppose, my adrenaline started to slow down, and I began to hear Shannon calling my name, telling me to hang on, and not to die on her. Looking up at her, "Shannon, are you ok, are you hurt?" "No baby, I am just fine. You just lay back and relax, someone is on the way now to fix you up. Just don't you die on me, you hear me, I love you too much for you to leave me now." "I love you too Shannon, I'll never leave you." I soon heard sirens, and it seemed like I was being surrounded by people checking me out. I looked up, seeing Shannon standing there, tears falling from her eyes and she looked back at me. My blouse was ripped open and what felt like patches placed on my chest. I felt the stick of a needle in my arm, but then felt nothing after that. As I was lying there, I began to feel the numbness returning. Everything seemed to be slowing down, but in a different way. I thought I heard someone say, "We're losing her, get the paddles." I looked at Shannon, her hand on her mouth, other hand on her chest as she cried. At this point everything seemed to go black. I felt nothing. The only sounds I heard was the slow beat of my heart and the blood rushing through my veins. My body seem as if it were slowly falling deeper and deeper into a dark pit. The sounds of my heart and blood rushing through my veins, began to get softer. My heart beat became slower and slower. I soon lost the sound of the blood in my veins, as my heart continued to slow down. The pain that racked my body began to lesson. The deeper I fell into this pit, the colder I was becoming. It was a kind of cold that you didn't feel, but were a part of it. Suddenly I could no longer hear my heart beat. The coldness seem to not only surround me, but emanated from within me. There was nothing, no sound, no feeling, if it were possible, I was looking all around for the white light everyone kept saying was always there when someone died. Yet I saw nothing. As I existed where I was, I felt a peace never felt before. I began to think of my life, my family. The good and the bad things I might have done throughout my life. I thought, "Is this all that there is! How could we be promised so much to receive so little?" I then though of Shannon, her hand on her heart as the tears were falling from her eyes. The words I said to her. "I love you and I'll never leave you." Looking into my own heart, I really did love this woman with every fiber of myself. This might be hell, this might be heaven, but I wasn't done yet, I am going to live and love someone with all my heart. As if by unknown reason, I felt as if I was rising from within the depths of this pit, going upward higher and higher. Suddenly I felt a renewed strength return to my body. Where before I merely walked the earth, today I have journeyed from there and back. Higher and higher I climbed out of my pit, soon I saw the light, getting brighter and brighter. I soon began to hear the steady hum of machines. A constant beeping near my head. I felt a hand holding mine, and soft words being whispered of being together and doing crazy things. I knew I kept my promise and to never leave my true love. We will have all the tomorrows to what today was missed. Squeezing the hand that was holding my mine caused a sharp gasp, then some yelling, "Nurse, Nurse... she just squeezed my hand." "Oh baby, you've come back to me. I love you so much." As I lay there, slowly prying my eyes open I saw what looked like three or four people rushing into the room. A man with funny looking glasses on, leaned over me, asking if I could hear him. I tried to answer, but he said that they had a breathing tube down my throat, not try to talk, but just to nod. I nodded my head that I understood. He said that after they check out my vitals, they were going to remove the tube from my throat and to have a little more patience. I nodded again that I understood. After the Doctor pulled the tube from my throat, he said that it might be a little sore for a day or so, but then it would be just fine. He also said the nurse was going to make sure I had those little sponge popsicles to suck on to keep my throat moist, and not to drink too much too soon. The Doctor told me that I was truly a very lucky woman. The bullet just grazed my heart but did not do any serious damage to it. Every time I would wake up, Shannon was sitting there beside the bed, sometimes asleep, sometimes reading a book. I asked her if she ever went home, she just laughed and said I was more important. As the days passed and I got stronger, I learned that after John had shot me, an off duty policeman was in the lobby at the same time, and shot John and killed him before he could hurt anyone else. His main target was not me, but Shannon for stealing me away from him. My parents confronted Shannon one day, because she was always here. She told them that she loved me with all her heart, and as far as she knew I love her just as much. She said that they stormed out of the room, but returned the next day, and it seemed like they accepted the fact that we loved each other. Kathrine came in one day and said that even though the divorce papers were signed and all, but they were not filled when John died, which would still make me his wife, and entitled me to everything. I thanked her for the information, and promised that once I was well enough to leave the hospital, my promise for a dinner date for the four of us was still on. After about six months I was back at my desk, making reservations for people wanting to get away, if not for a weekend, then for an extended period of time to relax and reflect on their lives. Shannon was promoted to Director of Leasing, and given a big raise. We also moved in together into our own apartment. We moved into a penthouse suit on the twelve floor. It seems Director of Leasing does have its perks. I told Shannon that when she can get a little time off, I would like for us to take a trip. She had asked me where, and I just said my surprise. I bought us both a ring, and I wanted to take her home to Gadsden, and there we are going to have a civil ceremony and marry each other making her my wife with her parents and hopefully mine there also. So far they half way consented, but I still have time to convince them to attend. The End. Again, I want to apologize for the time it has been to complete this version of my story. As always, any and all comments are welcomed and encouraged. Please write me at I was asked to include this part for a very special person. She knows who she is, so no other mention need to be made: Into the light I flew... Now I fly like the wind... Soaring and swooping with ease... Faster and faster I fly... With joy that knows no bounds! Looking over my shoulder... See my silhouetted against the sun I am an eagle... I am an eagle... I am free...
