Everest
Theshockwearsoff, but the worry doesn’t. I stare at where Walt retreated to, then I turn back to the bartender. He gives me the bottle of whiskey after I point it out to him. I look at it, trying to see what could’ve triggered him, but I don’t know if it’s the bottle or if it’s us offering him that drink. I don’t know.
“Throw this damned thing away or hide it.” I tell the bartender. “I don’t want my husband to see it again, okay?”
“Okay, ma’am.”
“I’ll go check on him,” Whit says.
“Wait, can I go? And if he doesn’t want me there, I’ll come back and get you? Deal?”
Whit nods and off I go. I snatch up a couple of water bottles and head to the room with the closed door. I knock on the door, but there’s no answer.
“Hi, Walt, it’s me, Everest. I just wanted to check on you and see if you’re okay.”
There’s no answer so I don’t go in, instead I sit on the floor against the door and almost chuckle at the switcheroo. I’m usually the one on the other side not saying a single word. I chug half of the water bottle because I don’t want to sound like I’m not serious when I am.
“I know how you feel, babe.” I begin. “I’m worried, yes, but I also understand. Whenever I used to hear a clown song, that weird horn sound, or even see a clown, I would react. I’m talking. I reacted so badly that I didn’t go anywhere for a year after I was home. Till this day, certain things freak me out. You helped me through that when you were there for one of them. I’d never been so happy to see your face when I was done sobbing like that. I felt vulnerable, scared, defiled, and just downright abused all over again. I’m just so, so sorry that you have to feel such things.”
I sigh, shutting my eyes and trying to stop the tears from falling down my face. I lay the back of my head against the door. “I love you, Walt, and I know you feel it. With how I love you, I understand that much. I’m sorry that someone violated you in that way, making you forget your family, forget yourself and heck, even forget how happy you’ve always been. It’s not right, nor is it fair. Just know that I’m here. You don’t have to talk or even open the door. I just want you to know that I’m not going anywhere. One step at a time, babes.”
I say, but I don’t leave yet. I just stay there with my eyes shut. I’ll wait until he’s ready to open the door and then, whatever he wants to do, we’ll do it.
“If you want to go home, Disney, just let me know and I’ll take you home. I’ll do whatever you want to do. Whatever that makes you feel comfortable.”
An arm tightening around my waist brings such fear to me I wake up and I try to get out of the hold without thinking.
“Where are you going?” Walt’s voice filters through and my heart immediately calms.
“How did I get in here? I don’t even remember.”
“You were snoring so loud on the other side, and I felt bad for you. I didn’t want anyone thinking I’m a bad husband with letting my wife sleep outside like some cheap shit even if she loves getting fucked like a whore.” Walt says as he grinds into me.
I giggle and shake my head. “You sure know how to make a woman blush, Walt. Sheesh.”
Walt chuckles and leans in, biting my naked shoulder, pulling a moan out of my mouth. “Disney…”
I turn to face Walt, and I look at him. He has his hair up in a topknot and even though I love the way he has it out, I’m favoring this as my second favorite styling of his hair. I reach out, tracing his face with my fingers. “Everie…” Walt sighs my name, and it brings butterflies to my stomach.
I don’t say anything as I lean in and slowly plant kisses all over his face. I just want him to know that I love him and that I’m here for him.
“I love you, Walt.” I say again, this time with even more ease when I move back a little out of his face.
“I love you too, baby.” Walt caresses my face and smirks, like he knows something I don’t.
“What?”
“Nothing, baby, nothing.” He leans in and gives me a searing, soul-stealing kiss that shakes me up from head to toe.
Once Walt stops kissing me, I flip to my back and stare at the ceiling, having nothing to say. I’m speechless because of Walt. If I didn’t fall in love before, this would’ve been the moment. This very moment.
Walt gets on top of me, planting his palms on each side of my head while hovering over me. He leans in and his tongue traces over my lips. He teases me with light kisses and each time I follow his mouth, accepting each kiss. His lips leave a scorching trail on my chin all the way to the crook of my neck, sucking hard, marking me.
Moaning his name, I throw my head back, shutting my eyes. Being already nude is the best thing that’s ever happened to me right now as I feel Walt at my entrance. Before he could fill me and take over every sense of mine, there’s a knock on the door.
“Stop being nasty and let’s go have dinner.” Rowe says. “There’s this restaurant I want to try out.”
“We’re not doing anything nasty.” I answer, trying not to blush again.
