I'm so surprised to hear from him. I'd really believed that when we said goodbye, that was it. But then I get his text. So random, so out of the blue, I thought somehow it might be a mistake.
"How are you? How's school, how's therapy going?"
I spend all of three minutes staring at that message before replying, so desperate am I for more.
"I'm good, how are you? School's alright, challenging though. And therapy's going really well. I'm so glad I finally started. How's work? How's your family?"
I stare anxiously at my phone, watching the little dots as he types his response. "I'm good. Work's exhausting, but I'm managing. The family's good, mom and dad finally are looking at new places. Look, I know this is completely out of the blue, but can I come over? I'd really like to see you and talk to you."
My sharp intake of breath makes my cat look at me with disgust for waking her up.
He wants to see me? Why? What good could that possibly do? We've been broken up for two months. It's just going to hurt me more, right? I shouldn't see him. My brain repeats this over and over, even as I type out my reply. "Of course. I'm free now if you want."
His response is almost immediate. "I'll be there in 15 minutes."
I smile, then feel the familiar butterfly feeling in my belly that happens every time I know I'm going to see him. I quickly change into a lace thong, a simple pair of black pants, and throw a t shirt on over my sports bra. I take my hair out of its bun, too, grateful it's deciding to be curly instead of stick straight. Then I sit in the living room, bouncing my knee and staring at the wall until I hear a knock.
I open the door and can't help the grin that spread across my face. "Hi, Josh."
He grins back as I step aside and he comes in. "Hey, Amanda."
I shut the door and for a moment we stand there awkwardly, but then he moves into the living room and takes the same seat he always has. I can't help that my grin is still plastered on my face, so I just go and sit on the other end of the couch, cross legged, facing him. "So...hi," I say again, only slightly awkward.
"Hey," he responds, grinning even wider and raking his eyes over me. I catch myself doing the same to him. Taking in every inch of his 6'3" frame, from his cowboy boots to his beard to his soft, thick red hair that I so loved to tangle my fingers in.
In turn he looks at me, examining my 5'9" body that has not changed since he last saw me. Long legs, curvy hips, bit of a belly, DD breasts, long curly auburn hair, and glasses. I'd never thought I was anything special, but he always looked at me like I was his dream.
"So...how've you been? Work's still exhausting?"
Josh leans back into the couch and sighs. "Yeah, it's been insane. I work most evenings now. But I'm still enjoying it, and the pay makes it worth it."
I smile, remembering how excited he was when he got this job in the first place. 
"I'm glad you're still enjoying it, even if it is exhausting. I'm assuming your boss has gotten over the whole "unmuted" incident?"
He laughs, turning his head to look at me.
"God I've missed you." He says quietly. His gaze is too intense and I blush, looking away.
Then my dog comes into the room, jumping onto the couch between us and curling up with her head in Josh's lap. Within seconds she's snoring. And just like that, we're back to how it was. Talking and laughing, catching up on everything that's happened in the last two months.
Before I know it, it's 7:30 and my stomach starts to rumble.
"You want to stay for dinner?" I ask, a knot in my chest.
"I'd love to. Wanna order pizza?"
I grin, reaching for my phone. "You read my mind."
Ninety minutes later, we've eaten and cleaned up, and we're back on the couch looking at each other.
Josh looks at his phone and sighs, glancing to me. "I...probably should..."
"Don't go." I surprise myself with this, but the thought of him leaving tonight makes my heart ache. I want him to stay. To be here with me.
"Don't...go? Are you sure?" He looks at me with a grin on his lips, but trepidation in his eyes. He doesn't want to hurt me.
I take a deep breath and stand up. "Please don't go, Josh. Come to bed with me."
He smiles and stands too, grabbing my hand. We walk toward the bedroom, and he goes straight to the bottom shelf in my closet. I haven't been able to bring myself to get rid of his pajamas that stayed there throughout our relationship. He grabs them and pads to the bathroom to change as I go to my dresser and do the same. Boring sweatpants and a t shirt, but I leave my thong on. I crawl into bed, turning the bedside lamp on as I do.
I watch him walk out of the bathroom, in those sweatpants that hang low on his hips and the ridiculous t shirt we bought on a trip to Yosemite. It automatically brings a smile to my face, seeing him back in my room with me. He smiles back as he crosses the room, turning off the overhead lights as he slides into bed next to me. I turn to lay on my side, facing him.
It's as if there's a physical tension between us. Both of us breathing heavily as we look at each other.
He lifts his hand, stroking my hair, my cheek, as he lowers his head and kisses my nose. "You're so beautiful," he whispers, "You're so amazing. So perfect."
I blush, my face heating under his touch. I kiss his cheeks, his lips, his forehead.
"You're so incredible. I've missed you so much."
"God, I missed you too sweetheart," he says as he works his fingers into my hair, leaning up on his elbow and moving down to kiss me hard.
I smile against his lips, breaking the kiss to tell him, "I missed that almost more than anything. No one else calls me sweetheart,"
Then I kiss him hard again, flicking my tongue against his lips
I feel him smile before he quickly nips my tongue into his mouth to suck it softly. His other hand moves from resting on my belly, slowly moving up to my chest between my breasts. I let out the softest moan as he sucks on my tongue, My fingers tightening on the fabric of his shirt, pulling him closer to me. I can feel my heart racing against his palm, and I'm sure he can feel it too.
He sucks my tongue harder into his mouth as his free hand moves over my breast, feeling my hard nipple just covered by the thin fabric of my t shirt.
I moan again, slightly louder this time. My hand slips under his shirt and I run my fingers along his skin, across his chest, his stomach, and to the edge of his waistband.
He moans into our kiss, his body shivering under my touch as he presses closer to me, almost begging for more. He puts his hand under my shirt too, palming my bare breast and feeling its warmth as he gently rubs and twists my pink nipple.
I slip my fingers under his waistband, just running along his hips. I break our kiss, resting my forehead against his and meeting his eyes as I whisper "Fuck, I've missed you so much. How far do you want to go, tonight?"
He leans back a bit, his gaze brushing over my face, his hand still resting on my breast. He smiles and says "I've missed you too, sweetie. So damn much." He leans down to kiss my nose softly, then pulls away again. "I want this to go as far as you want it to go."
I laugh softly, rolling my eyes. "Ever the gentleman."
He grins, and I pull him back to kiss me again, nipping at his bottom lip so I can tangle my tongue with his. My fingers in his waistband slip lower, over his boxers, palming his growing bulge. His answering groan sends waves of pleasure through me as he moves his mouth from my lips to my neck, kissing and sucking lightly.
"Fuck, baby. My cock is throbbing for you," he murmurs against my skin. He rolls my nipple between his fingers and pushes his hips toward me, pressing his cock into my hand.
I moan as he rolls my nipple, my pussy aching with need. I slide my other hand down, pushing his pants and boxers down so my fingers can wrap around his bare cock, stroking slowly.
"Fuuuuck," He lets out a low moan as I stroke his cock. He raises his head to kiss me again, shoving his tongue into my mouth. As he does, he slips a hand down my stomach, straight into my thong to feel the warmth and wetness there. I moan into his mouth, shifting my hips to give him easier access to my soaking wet pussy. I keep slowly stroking his cock as I start to grind against his hand.
His lips on mine are soft but passionate as he explores my wetness with his fingers, rubbing my clit and making me gasp, smearing my juices around before slowly pushing two fingers into my dripping cunt. I cry out in pleasure as he pushes his fingers into me, breaking our kiss to moan loudly. Precum leaks from his cock as I stroke him faster, covering my fingers and his hard shaft.
