Oh, not now Manny baby. Not tonight.
This was the only thought my brain processed as I looked at the name on my iPhone screen.
I honestly wasn't in the mood to speak with him or anyone for that matter. Work was stressful as usual and I couldn't shift my mind to home mode. There were still two volunteering field trips I had to plan, and now that she gave me permission, I needed to figure out a way to let Tamera's parents know that she was 3 months pregnant. I also had to write out a lesson plan for my healthy beginnings group- a support group for kids that had been hospitalized for depression but had now returned to school. Being a school counselor wasn't a job for the faint of heart, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. What it did require, however, was a healthy amount of compassion that sometimes left me burnt out at home. Today was definitely one of those days and I just wasn't in the mood for much talking. Sighing, I took a swig of my half-gone glass of Chardonnay before swiping my finger across the screen to accept his call.
"Manny man...talk fast babe cause I'm busy. Wassup?" I asked him, circling the rim of the glass. Manny understood how hectic my evenings could be, but occasionally took it personally when I became caught up in my work. I still was holding out hope though that my swift tone would politely convey that I didn't have time to talk right now.
"Damn...that's how you do your boy? You do know that it's over here cracking, right? Ugh, I think I just felt it split in half." I could just about guess what he was doing by now verbatim; hand to chest gripping his shirt for effect to soothe his "cracking heart" while scrunching up his nose and squinting his hazel eyes in pain. Such a drama king, this one.
"Oh I'm sure you'll be just fine, lover" I muttered, jotting down an idea I had for an ice breaker for the group tomorrow. I wonder if the new girl is actually going to talk about why she-
"All better now that I heard that word lover leave your sweet lips, pretty kitty"- he said lowly, interrupting my train of thought about the new group member. Suddenly, my brain shifted from the group to the slight throb I felt down below at the mention of his pet name for me. Born out of a night involving Jack Daniels, the Isley Brothers, and us, Manny starting calling me pretty kitty after giving me the best head of my life for an hour. Halfway through, he lifted his face up and smacked loudly with his lips, telling me that I had the prettiest pussy he'd ever seen. In private, he took to calling me pretty kitty; pk for short in front of our friends. He knew that my body always had this weird involuntary reflex whenever he called me that and was fucking with me now to get me going. Crossing my legs, I shifted in my chair to add a little pressure to his "pk". After clearing my throat a few times, I took another drink to calm my hormones down a bit. Manny was the shit and he knew it, but I never gave in to him easily.
"Uht oh pretty kitty...sounds like something's caught in your throat there. You alright baby?" He asked, mockingly. Asshole.
