What a day! After running here and there, Jay is glad to leave the kids at his mom's and go home alone. Being a single dad isn't easy. He needs this 2-day break. On his way home, he decides to give Nicki a call.
The phone rings and, answering with a "Happy Thanksgiving", Nicki is thrilled to hear the deep, sultry voice of Jay. She is alone for the holiday, far from family, and missing everyone. After saying hello, Jay asks if he could stop by. Of course Nicki says yes! When Jay arrives, Nicki is dressed beautifully. In a form-fitting, skin-colored halter top, a pair of black stretch pants and heels, her thick, brown hair with it's red and gold hi-lights, and hazel eyes stood out amazingly. She greets him with a kiss. "This is a great surprise, Baby!"
Jay surprises Nicki further by asking her to come spend the weekend with him. "I need to work tomorrow, but we'll have tonight and tomorrow night and I'll bring you back when I go to pick up the kids on Saturday." Nicki is thrilled! She and Jay haven't been able to be alone together since they met. Between work, and the kids, there was always something. As she goes to pack her bag, Nicki tells Jay to make himself comfortable, fix himself a drink.
Nicki's small apartment is cozy, homey. Her kitchen is warm and inviting. Jay can see she had fixed a small Thanksgiving meal for herself. Some stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn and a small turkey had been recently put away in the fridge, along with Nicki's favorite...custard pie. Alone with no family nearby, holidays were always rough for Nicki. Jay tries to make every day wonderful for her, but he still has his work and family obligations.
Besides, neither he nor Nicki are quite ready to announce their relationship to either his kids or his family just yet. It has only been 6 months since they began seeing each other, if you could call it that. Meeting for a few stolen moments here and there isn't much, but they take what they can get. They've never had a real date, never had the time. His life is filled with kids, work, kids' afterschool activities, shopping, cooking, cleaning...it is never ending. Nicki has a full life as well. Working full-time and going to school full-time. Making time for each other is important to them, though, so they do.
Nicki wastes no time packing. She grabs a package that contains a recent purchase. She had no idea it would become useful so soon. Packing 2 days of clothes, and her necessities, she is soon done. Making sure everything is turned off, they step outside as Nicki locks up. At the car, Jay, always the gentleman, opens Nicki's door for her and closes it after she is in. Smiling to himself as he thinks of the nights ahead, he walks quickly to his door and gets in. Once on their way Nicki asks about his day. Jay regales her with the antics of his own kids as well as that of his sisters'. Laughing so hard she has tears in her eyes, Nicki cherishes the stories. The youngest is a doll, Daddy's little girl, the middle boy is a charmer, and the teenager is pure angst.
The long ride is shortened by the flowing conversation and comeraderie. When they arrive at Jay's home, Nicki is suddenly shy. As Jay gets out of the car, Nicki opens her door and gathers her things. Taking a deep, calming breath, she steps out of the car just as Jay comes around to her side. As she stands, they are practically nose to nose. They stand for a moment, just looking at each other, then Jay reaches for Nicki's bag, breaking the spell. Nicki steps aside as Jay shuts the car door.
Following Jay to the house, Nicki tries to breathe normally. It isn't easy! What is her problem? I mean, it isn't like she's never had sex before! After all, they are both in their 30's. OK, so she's never had sex with Jay, or even been in a position to. Butterflies begin to gather in her belly! As she tries to calm herself, Jay enters the code to disable the alarm, then unlocks and opens the door, stepping aside so Nicki can enter ahead of him. As Jay shuts the door behind them, the butterflies in Nicki's belly begin to swarm! If they don't slow down she's going to be sick!
Jay asks Nicki if she'd like something to drink. Smiling weakly, she asks for one of the special drinks she knows Jay always has in his fridge. Thinking that alcohol will kill off some of these butterflies, or at least slow them down, Nicki calms a little. As they stand in the kitchen and just talk, Nicki surprises both Jay and herself by finishing off the drink in record time...not even 10 minutes! Feeling a little calmer, Nicki asks for another drink. Jay raises a brow but says nothing. They go and sit on the sofa and chat more about the day. Once again, Nicki downs the drink quickly.
This time Jay does make a comment. "Uh, Nicki, you aren't nervous, are you?"
Nicki looks up in surprise. "No. Why would you ask that?"
"Uh, you're not exactly a drinker, it usually takes you at least 20 minutes to finish one of those and you just finished 2 in less than 20! So, are ya nervous?" Jay has a big grin on his face, hoping Nicki'll smile in return.
Nicki looks down at the now empty bottle. Shock, embarassment, and more butterflies, course through her. Reddening she looks up and smiles shyly. "Oops?! Sorry, I guess I am nervous, a little. We've never been alone like this."
His grin becoming a soft smile, Jay touches her hand. "Hey, we won't do anything you aren't comfortable with. We can just be together. OK?"
Nicki's face grows hotter as she flushes a deeper red. His touch sends a charge of heat flowing through her. She wants Jay SO much she can taste it. So why is she so nervous? "Thanks," is all she can get out. Making a conscious effort to stop drinking, Nicki gets up and wanders around.
Jay offers to show her the house. Nicki agrees. They start in the kitchen, move to the dining room where they can see the huge backyard. The family room is large, but cozy and has a fireplace. Thoughts of laying with Jay in front of a glowing fire tickle Nicki's thoughts and she blushes again. They walk through to the living room then the guest bath. Upstairs, she gets to see each of the kids' rooms. The teen is much messier than the pre-teen, and the little girl is the messiest. Nicki remembers her own room and smiles. Her room was always an eye-sore. Next was the kids' bath.
Finally, Nicki is lead into a huge room, Jay's room. It is gorgeous! There is a huge bed right in the center of the room, his desk to one side and some boxes to another. There is a big walk in closet and a large bath on the opposite end of the room. Nicki peeks in the bath and sees it too is large. As Jay walks up behind Nicki, she smiles at him in the bathroom mirror. Moving her hair aside, Jay begins to place soft kisses along Nicki's neck. Being one of her most sensitive erogenous zones, Nicki is unable to prevent a soft, sigh of a moan from escaping her lips. She loves the feel of his mustach and beard, which he always keeps trimmed, against her skin. Eyes closed, she leans into Jay, who wraps his arms around her waist. He lifts his head and smiles at her. "Still nervous?"
