released at that moment losing all thought. For a moment, my mind was in total blackness.
Our bodies were still entwined as I held her close trying to catch my breath. I kissed her salty sweet lips, and she ran her fingers down my back.
I said, “Stephora you’re amazing.” “I am sorry about your dress I’ll replace it tomorrow,” I smiled. Smiling up at me, she said, “No need, I have more, and it was worth it” “We’d better be getting home,” I said. “You have to leave for Chicago tomorrow.”
“I thought you were coming with me?” I said, sounding shocked. “I’m but I have a few things I need to pack before leaving.” “Why don’t I take you home to get your things, and you stay with me tonight.” Stephora said, “That sounds excellent, but I’d better pass just this once.” I was disappointed and replied, “I can’t bear to leave you in that house even for one more day.” Stephora smiled and cupped my face, “Don’t worry my love; we will be together from now on.”
“It will be just one more night.” “At least let me take you home,” I begged. “No Donovan, the car is waiting back at the restaurant.” We walked back, and I watched her drive off, I hated to let her go.
I walked in the house and got a beer from the fridge. I began checking my messages, and there were a few messages from Mack my attorney, and one from Mom. I was tired, and I just wanted to get some sleep. I would talk to them in a couple of hours. Ten o’clock came fast. It felt like I hadn’t been to sleep at all. I had packed most of my things yesterday.
“Hey Juan, rough night or shall I say morning?” I replied, “Good morning Nick, I didn’t see you there.” “You must have been preoccupied.” I snapped, “I have a lot on my plate today, and I not in the mood for your sarcasm.” He threw his hands back and said, “Hey, buddy you won’t get that from me today.”
“Good…” “I must say one thing, that’s if you don’t mind a bit of friendly advice.” “What on your mind?” “No let me guess...Stephora?” “I just don’t think you should be taking her on this trip.” “This is about your daughter, and I think your adding fuel to the flame.” Sarcastically I said, “I see you overheard my conversation.” “Nick this is personal, and if you don’t mind I can handle it.”
Nick replied, “I’m sure you can, but I think your mixing business with pleasure.” “Stephora is not business” “I care for her and not everything is about money…”
“Juan man, this woman, is married, and her husband, like I said won’t let her go.” “Nick, she wants to leave Graham so we can be together.”
“Are you hearing yourself right now?” “I hate to say it but your pussy whipped, and she’s got your nose wide open.” “You just lost your wife, and you are vulnerable, I understand but this is one fish you need to throw back.”
“Nick, this isn’t about being pussy whipped, it’s about caring for another person.” Nick said, “Man, this shits got pussy written all over it…” “You aren’t the first and you won’t be the last.” “I’m done with this discussion just don’t say I didn’t tell you.” I replied, “Thanks for the advice, and I’ll take it into consideration.”
“When does your flight leave?” Nick asked. “I’m leaving about 5:00, and I don’t know if I'm coming back.”
“I’m headed to L.A to set up business. I paid for the condo in case I want to return.” “I have a realtor putting it on the market in a week.” I snapped, “Do what makes you happy, I’m out of Miami.” “All right I’ll call you when I get to L.A. and Juan good luck with Janet.” I replied, “Thanks Nick, I just might need it.”
Stephora was meeting me at the airport, so I called a cab to pick me up. I had already talked to Mom and Mack before leaving, and Nick had already left for L.A.
