I live for the moment I hear that catch in her throat with our first kiss. Her breathing getting heavier with each tender touch, and caress of her sensitive places, I wait for those three words she will not say..., yet.
Catherine Chapter 18
I thought I'd surprise you.
Four hours is a long time, and driving by myself with the cruise control set at ten miles an hour over the interstates posted speed limit, my favorite CD playing, the large coffee I bought at the convince store when I stopped to top of the fuel tank slowly getting cold, you have a lot of time to think. And I'm thinking about all the different forces pulling me in all the different directions, with different emotions. Sally and Erin, Catherine and me.., where is that going.
Sally, she still cares; last night's sex demonstrated that, as I care about her. Catherine..., that woman rocks my world! Then it's always that possibility of our unit getting activated. And with a little over three years left before I have my twenty..., it will be a miracle if we don't. But it's the life I've chosen; and it's definitely costs me..., both physically and emotionally. But I can deal with it.
But now there's something else getting my attention..., and it may cost me even more. But I guess luck is on my side tonight as the cruiser coming up behind me, red and blues lights flashing flying down the road like a bat out of hell, until almost out of sight , only to see it's up the next off ramp, taking the over pass, then the on ramp, where is gone in the opposite direction. Hope you stay safe buddy!
Turning into my drive way it's the flag I see up on the mail box, stopping to retrieve what ever was left. But as I'm walking back to the truck its a double take realizing there's lights on in the house. I guess tired and distracted by the mail box, I didn't notice the lights before I got out of the truck. Although the house is not lit up all that much, still some inside light is filtering through the partially closed vertical blinds -- I know I turned everything off! The only exceptions are the automatic night lights in each bath room, the hallway outside of Erin's room, and one in the kitchen near the doors to the deck. So why so much light showing in the house now?
Turning the truck's head lights off, leaving just the running lights on as I slowly coast down the drive way, pulling into my usual spot in front of the first bay door and bring up the alarm 'app' on my cell phone to see the system is showing..., occupied? Pushing the button on the rear view mirror the garage door begins to open with the lights coming on inside, and outside along with my; holy shit, what is that doing..., and why..., I thought...?
Taking my things from the truck, it's using my elbow to push the 'close' button for the garage door, at the same time looking at what's parked in the bay next to the one I'm standing in; shaking my head in surprised disbelief at what I see. So it's up the ramp, using my hip against the panic bar to open the door into the laundry room. Then down the hall where I see across the great room to the far hallway the lights on in the master bed room. And along with that, is the aroma of fresh brewed coffee coming from the kitchen. Oh well, I guess the woman really does like me a lot!
An with just a momentary stop to see if anyone's was in the kitchen, it's down the hall into the master bedroom, to see the bathroom door slightly ajar, with the sound of the running water in the shower. So first setting my over night bag on the bed, then taking my two garment bags to hang them in my closet, then the overnight bag, witch I set on the floor just inside the closet door. It's back up the hallway, taking my jacket off as I go to hang it in the hall closet. From there it's into the kitchen to pour a cup of that fresh smelling coffee.
Then with coffee, cream and sugar in a coffee mug, it's back to the bedroom, where I'll sit in one of the arm chairs to slip my shoes off before sitting back with the coffee cup in my hands thinking about her gorgeous, wet glistening body turning under the shower stream just like she was Friday morning. But it's only a few minutes later when the sound of the running water in the shower ceases.
Then it's her shadow moving around in the bathroom showing through the partially open door with a flash of bare arm moving a towel, disappearing, reappearing until that bare arm reaches for something on the vanity top; her hair brush? Where her bumping the door, opening it a little bit further, and luckily for me at this moment, she's unable to see to where I'm sitting, but still allowing me to see much more of her as she stands there fussing with her hair.
Putting the brush down, picking it up again to run it through her hair a few more times until she backs away to where she's just out of my sight line. But just as the door begins to open, it stops, then continues the rest of the way open as she starts to leave the bathroom. Only to suddenly stop to look back once more at herself in the mirror. But when turning back to finally leave the bathroom, where its only three steps to her, "OH MY GOD!" With her instantly coming to stop, a startled look on her pretty face, a hand over her mouth is followed by, "Damn You! How long have you been here?" Her excited question.
Picking up my cell phone from the table next to my chair, pointing the camera towards her snapping a picture of this gorgeous creature standing across the room from me. My God, she's beautiful standing just the way she is, stark naked, hair loosely laying on her shoulders, no makeup, perfect thirty-four-C breast, taut raspberry nipples, curve of her waist, flare of her hips, my eyes now drawn to her bikini triangle of pubic hair, mouth watering full camel-toe, gorgeous long legged beauty taking my breath away.
"Oh, maybe ten minutes or so; and you," replying back to her.
That startled look changing to a broad smile as she starts towards me completely at ease in her nakedness, "Oh, maybe a little more than an hour, " she says, as she glances over at the numbers showing in the alarm clock.
Then her look back to me, "I thought I'd surprise you," she says. "But you.., you shit! Surprised me! So why didn't you let know, or say something like, Oh Catherine I'm home."
"Well with you being in the shower, I figured saying or doing something might startle you, so I thought I'd just wait for you to get out. In the mean time I put my things in the closet, then went back for a cup of this delicious coffee; thank you! Want some? As I hold the cup out to her."
"Thank you, Yes..., I need it after you scared the crap out of me! And damn it, stop laughing!" She scolds me.
"I'm sorry Catherine, I should have at least let you know I was here after you got out of the shower. Where suddenly, she realizes I'm holding my phone where she ask, "Were you going to call me while I was in the shower?" She ask.
"No," to her question.
"Then why the phone in your hand?" She quizzes.
Not answering her question as we stare back and forth at each other until she ask, "Did you take a picture of me?" A little strain in her voice saying it.
Still not answering, only turning the camera around so she can see her beautiful naked self on the screen, "Why you sneaky..."
"Catherine, I couldn't resist!" Honestly telling her.
Breaking into what she was about to call me.
"Catherine, you were just so..., heart stopping beautiful in that perfect moment of candid surprise I just had to catch it. But settle down I'll delete it right now."
