I thought so too. I didn’t need some big dude all on me trying to help me up. I would figure it out. I put my hands on each side of the walker and then pushed myself up. He was right, my legs did feel like Jell-O, but I had enough upper body strength to stand erect.
“I knew it. Now move towards me. We will start with a couple steps and over the next few days add on more.”
Pushing my right leg forward, I held on tightly to the walker. Moving my leg was harder than I thought it would be. My left leg was next. I moved it forward to meet the right leg.Cool, I think I got this.Looking up to judge how far away Greg was and how many more steps I would need to take to get to him, I encouraged myself, “You got this, El.”
I moved my right leg again, then my left. I continued this cycle two more times before looking up again to see my goal. But, my goal had changed. Instead of seeing Greg standing in the distance waiting on me, I saw Averie. She wore a straight purple and teal dress that hugged her curves and a pair of stilettos that enhanced her toned calves. She had a jacket in the same hand that she held her leather portfolio. She was breathtaking. She smiled at me, and I smiled back.
Feeling the pressure of a pee wee sports player who had found their parent in the stands and wanted to perform for them. I straightened my spine, held on to the walker and took the last few steps until I was face to face with my lady. I heard a distant cheer from Greg but the only thing concerning me at that moment was feeling Averie’s lips on mine.
“This is light work for you, Valentine,” she said while tossing her chin in the direction I’d come from.
“Absolutely, Patterson.” I leaned forward and kissed her expecting to pull away. She stepped in and put her hand around my neck and pulled my bottom lip into her mouth, sucking lightly. She held me in place causing me to experience a serious erection. She pulled back and looked at me with hooded eyes while licking her lips.
I couldn’t wait to be inside of her again.
“Have a seat, Mr. Valentine,” I heard Greg say behind me.
I stood up straight then spoke over my shoulder, “No, thank you. I will walk back.”

Averie satin the chair next to my bed telling me about her day. She was trying to keep up appearances, but I could tell she was tired. She yawned confirming my suspicion.
“Come up here with me.”
“No, I can’t get in the bed with you.”
“Why not?”
“There’s not enough room for both of us.”
“Yes, it is,” I moved over to show her how roomy the bed was. “Come up here with me. I want you next to me.”
She kicked off her shoes while I lowered the bed to the proper height for her to climb in. She snuggled into my side resting her head on my chest.
“Are you okay? Am I too heavy?”
“I’m fine. Relax,” I said after kissing her forehead.
“I’ve missed sleeping next to you, El.”
“I’ve missed having you next to me. What would you say about us consolidating our living arrangements when I get out of here? We can find something to purchase in the city together, or we can decide between my place or yours. We can keep the house out of the city, and if you want, we can build a house for your parents out there. We have plenty of acreage to build on.”
Nothing.
“I understand if it’s going to take some thought. I know how much you like your place and you haven’t been there long. I just don’t want to sleep without you ever again, and it doesn’t make sense for us to maintain so many residences.”
Nothing.
“You don’t have any thoughts on anything I just said?”
Nothing.
“Vee,” I said looking down, “Are you asleep already?”
I was met with closed eyes and light snores. I chuckled.She could fall asleep anywhere,I thought, I guess I will ask her again when she is awake.I loved feeling her next to me. Her body providing the right amount of warmth and softness.
“Mr. Valentine,” Victoria said as she entered the room.
