While I’m in there, she comes in, hair a bit of a mess. She smiles at me, uses the restroom, washes her hands, and grabs a toothbrush. Although we’ve just reconnected in the last few weeks, we’ve fallen into an easy routine, as if we’ve been together every day since we graduated high school.
We walk back to bed, the laziness of the morning winning over instead of starting the day. We both have the day free, as I was supposed to be traveling into the city today and she was off for the first Saturday in weeks.
She turns toward me and her beauty catches me off guard, although I’ve loved her since the moment I saw her at the tender age of fourteen.
“What are you thinking?” she asks me as I blatantly stare at her, and she adjusts herself to get comfortable by my side.
I roll over so I’m on top of her, spreading her legs apart to make room for me. I’m staring into her eyes, feeling my heart beating a little faster as I take in how lucky I am for this reconnection between us.
“I just feel like my life is finally coming together.”
I bring my face toward hers and begin to kiss her slowly. She uses her feet which are wrapped around my middle to tug my boxers down. My cock springs free, ready to claim my girl once again. The moment I move my hands toward her hips, I realize she had already taken her underwear off that was covered by her large sleep shirt.
I pull away and give her a look and she returns with, “What? Wishful thinking as many would say,” she says with a wink.
She then gives me a cocky grin as she spreads her legs even wider for my dick to easily slide into her folds. I begin pumping into her slowly while moving her nightshirt up and off her body. We continue to kiss softly. This feels different from all the other times we’ve been together. At this moment, I’m not fucking her. I’m loving on her.
I let her feel how much she affects me. She is my beginning and my end, and I hope she feels like the treasure I see her as. I continue to thrust in and out, something that started slowly now has us moving faster, both trying to chase that release.
I feel her clench around my cock, and soon she’s panting and saying my name as her orgasm rocks over her body. I follow shortly after, feeling my orgasm take over, and I moan her name as I let my cum coat her inside. As soft and slow as that started, I’m out of breath now. My heart belongs to this woman, and I feel like my world cannot go another day without her.
The silence between us is deafening as we are catching our breath, and the reality of the fact that we need to approach the subject of our past is looming above us this morning. We can’t keep dodging this conversation. So once I go to the bathroom and clean up, bringing her a warm washcloth for her to do the same, I get under the covers and we lay side by side with one another.
We are staring at each other, speaking so much in our eyes that it hurts. I have to burst our little bubble in the way that I do. But we need this in order to move forward.
“I heard you in the locker room after graduation.”
I keep my eyes on her and see the look of confusion cross her face. I continue, “You were talking to Ellie, and I overheard you confess things to her about us, and I’m so sorry for listening in. It wasn’t my intention, but I was coming to get you so I could drive you home, and I heard everything you said to her. I couldn’t let you live that version of a life when you had so many dreams ahead of you. I couldn't be the reason for holding you back.”
Instead of a look of understanding, Becs looks even more confused.
“I am so sorry, Shane, but I have no idea what conversation or plan you are referring to. What did you overhear, exactly?”
So I replay exactly what happened and what I heard her say to Ellie. When I’m done, instead of understanding or confusion, Becca looks downright pissed. I don’t know if I should be scared, but I’m naked and by her side, so I cover my dick in case she’s going to try to kick me in the nuts. She wouldn’t, would she?
Becs turns so she’s laying on her back, her gaze is at the ceiling. She’s taking deep inhales and exhales. She’s noticeably irritated and I feel it, deep in my gut, that what she’s about to let out is going to destroy me.
She closes her eyes, this time whispering, and not in a kind tone, “Why are men fucking idiots?”
I choose not to answer because I’m assuming that’s a rhetorical question. She opens her eyes and directs her gaze at me, turning her body back in my direction.
“So let me get this straight. You overheard a conversation that was not directed at you, and you ran with that information as if it was written in stone?”
Her expression could spit venom because just by confessing I overheard her conversation has definitely deviated this conversation from one where I thought she’d have clarity, to one where she looks incredibly angry—at me.
“Yes. I overheard everything you said and my heart broke. I felt responsible for you closing a door on your dreams.”
This seems to only anger her more, and I put my hands up and lean back slightly. I can feel her body shaking in resentment at this point. She sits up, bringing the sheet up with her to cover her chest.
She pinches the bridge of her nose and closes her eyes. I think I hear her counting down from ten, but I can’t be sure. I feel like this is a bad time to ask this question, so I keep my mouth shut.
After she gets to zero, she opens her mouth again. “So, again, let me clarify.” Her voice rises a level in volume as each sentence comes out. “You overheard something that was not necessarily directed at you, and instead of confronting me about it, you decided to seal the fate of our future that we had planned together? You didn’t think having a conversation about what you overheard could have maybe been a better move?”
Tears are forming in her eyes, but they still don’t show signs of sadness. They are angry tears.
I swallow and nod, scared to speak in case whatever I blurt out next might make her angrier. When I open my mouth to speak again, Becca cuts me off, and the truth she confesses makes me wish I could go back in time and do it all again.
