The Morning After
The next morning, I awoke to the bright sun peeking through my curtains. The sunlight reminded me of the throbbing head pain that had waxed and waned since my head injury. Accompanying that pain was the delightful throb between my thighs that resulted from wine, passion and sweet memories with Montie. I sighed as I remembered the many ways in which Montie ravished my body. Lying beside me, he wore a gratifying smile as he slept.
I had mixed feelings as I watched his tall, muscular body sprawl across my bed. Part of me wanted to wake him with a kiss and relive every pleasing moment of the night before. The other part of me wanted to send him on his way. I slowly inched my naked body away from his to put some space between us.
“Don’t get up yet,” Montie said, while snaking his arm around my waist and pulling me snug to his warm body.
Lord, did he feel good…and smell good. Whew! I had to get away. “Montie, I’m about to get up, take a shower and get my day started.”
“I don’t want you to get up. I want you to lay here forever,” he said. When I turned to face him, the smile on his face was so radiant that I almost resisted pulling away.
“Montie, I want to have breakfast ready when the kids wake up,” I said staring into his eyes.
“If you stay in bed for another hour, I will make the best breakfast,” Montie offered. He traced circles on my arms as he stared back at me.
“That’s nice of you to offer, but I also have a client that is waiting on a response that I should have sent last night. I was going to answer that email and then get started on breakfast,” I told him.
He released the grip he had on me. “Well, since you have so many excuses to get out of bed, go ahead.”
Montie watched as I left the bed. I picked up my gown from the floor and slipped it on. I went to the closet and got a housecoat to put on, as well. He blew me a kiss as I walked out of the room. I smiled.
I stopped by each of the kids’ rooms to check on them before heading into the kitchen. Glad my munchkins hadn’t awakened to find their father in my bed, I poured myself a large glass of orange juice and gulped it down fast. I shook my head, knowing my thirst was a result of the way I openly and freely gave myself to Montie.
I picked up the house phone and dialed Tasha’s number.
“Hey,” I said just above a whisper when she answered.
“Hey,” she whispered back. “Why are we whispering?”
“Because Montie is in my bed and I don’t want him to hear me talking.”
“Hush yo’ mouth! Who, what, when, where, how and why is Montie in your bed? Tell me everything! Don’t leave out a single detail,” she hollered through an excitedly shaky voice.
I sat my glass down and sighed. “Calm your ass down, Tasha.”
“Calm down?” She laughed. “Girl, you almost made me trip over my own feet with that news.”
I sighed. “I know, I know. It’s crazy!”
“You’re stalling. How did Montie end up in your bed, Destiny?”
“Well, you know he’s been here since I got home from the hospital. He’s been taking care of me and the kids. He’s been right by my side, caring and giving so much of himself…more than ever before. I have appreciated his help, because I needed it and…”
“That’s what thank you cards are for,” Tasha interjected.
“I know. I feel awful,” I said, which was a half-truth. “Well good-awful.”
“Ain’t no need in feeling awful, but I can’t believe you doubled back to Montie after I threw you a bomb ass divorce party and everything. I feel cheated.” I couldn’t see her, but I knew Tasha was shaking her head. She was probably rolling her eyes too.
“Don’t you think I thought about that?” I folded my free arm across my chest protectively.
“You didn’t think about it too long,” she said sarcastically.
“Montie and I have been strictly platonic, until last night after dinner.”
“Let me know what was so special about this dinner, so I can avoid it with all of my exes…at all costs,” she said on a laugh.
“I had a glass of wine. He massaged my feet. I took a pain pill and a long shower, and the next thing I knew my nails were digging into his back and I was rocking to the rhythm of his wonderful beat.” I licked my lips thinking about how awkwardly sensational it felt to be intimate with Montie again.
