Preface:
The tale of Theresa 'Terri' Murphy continues in Chicago. It's now a month since she and her husband Dean had relocated there from Savannah for his work. The quiet, introverted young wife had experienced an awakening during her time in the South. She had met an older man namedDontrell, connecting over their shared passion for reading. This passion for literature combined with Terri's loneliness and deeply repressed desires had culminated in a torrid sexual affair with Dontrell assuming the role of her Black Daddy andTerri becoming his Baby girl.
Since the move Terri had remained in contact with Dontrell via email. However, their correspondence during the last 4 weeks has been closer in nature to their relationship prior to them having sex, consisting of them talking about upcoming books, what they were currently reading and generic statements about what was happening with Terri and her new place in Chicago. Dontrell had studiously avoided talking about sex or enquiring as to Terri's plans to seek out more encounters in Chicago. Terri had been kept quite busy with the move and Dean had been very attentive to her, he had sensed her upset over leaving Savannah and was doing his best to keep her happy and content. Due to this she hadn't had the opportunity to use the cell phone Dontrell had gifted her before she left Savannah.
It wasn't solely a lack of opportunity that had kept the cell phone, hidden from Dean's attention in a washbag filled with cosmetics. Terri had also been racked with guilt over her antics with 'Uncle' Jay during her last fortnight in Savannah. Her cheating on Dean with Dontrell had seemed rational based on their connection and friendship but the threesome followed by four subsequent one on one meetings with Jay had been purely about pleasure. She worried about this new side of her, this need that was like an itch at the back of her mind, intruding into her idle thoughts during the day. These thoughts distracted her as she read and twisted like a serpent into her dreams at night so that she would wake disorientated and flustered.
For a month the cell phone had remained hidden among lipsticks, eyeliners and creams. For a month Terri had wondered about BU Chicago - Black Uncle Chicago. Wondered about his identify and about his cock.
Chapter 1:
"Un huh, uh huh, yeah I know...yes, yes I understand. Ok, well as soon as you can. Yeah, I know. Yes, love you too", Terri just managed to get to squeeze in the last 3 words as she heard Dean disconnect the call. Another late night for him then, another night alone for her. To Dean's credit he had only just gotten pulled back into his usual pattern of overwork in the last week
.
Prior to that he had made an effort to be home early for dinner, make conversation and even make love more often since the move to Chicago.
Thinking about Dean making love, Terri closed her eyes momentarily, her thoughts flitting away from the image her husbands naked body to picture instead Dontrell emerging naked and wet from a shower, his thick cock hardening....no, no, no. Terri opened her eyes and gave herself a mental slap. She couldn't start thinking about that because it just brought her down and she had to stay positive. Dontrell's friendship had lifted her spirits when she needed it most and it would be a betrayal to both him and herself if she fell back to the way she had been before.
She glanced at her watch, not quite lunchtime, and already Dean had rung to say he'd be late so that would probably mean after 10pm before he got in. Chicago in October wasn't exactly terrible weather-wise, but she still didn't feel like wrapping up against the wind to go sightseeing. Especially as it looked like it was going to rain later in the day. Reading was out, the silence only led to thoughts of sex. Shopping was also not an option, she hated standing alone in stores watching groups of friends interact and have fun, so that also ruled out going to a cafΓ© for lunch.
Her make up bag flashed into her mind, it was shoved to the back of the bottom drawer in the vanity table in the bedroom, rarely used as she generally sported a 'natural' look. Distracted, Terri wandered into the kitchen and turned on the kettle, leaning against the counter. She stood there, not moving, barely blinking, until the steam from the kettle began to curl across her face causing her to move position- to take action!Terri turned on her heel and made it 5 paces towards the bedroom before she had a change of mind. She swung around, grabbed a cup and some instant coffee from a shelf. Opening the jar of coffee, she started to reach for a spoon, her hand hoveringabove it... considering, then another change of mind had her heading back to the bedroom the open jar of coffee still in hand.
She emerged from her bedroom and headed back into the kitchen, her make up bag clutched against her stomach. Placing it on the kitchen table she decided to finish one task at a time and so finally made herself a strong cup of coffee before taking a seat at the table. The cell phone was still where she had left it, right at the bottom of the bag. She fished it out, powered it on and scrolled to the contact's section.
She sat there, her head cradled by her hands, staring at the cell phone in front of her. Exhaling slowly Terri considered her options. A phone call to someone she had never met was more than her nerves could handle. To avoid an uncomfortable first conversation, or at least to delay it happening, Terri opted to instead send a text to BU Chicago.
"
Hi
" she typed, "
This is Baby Girl, Dontrell's friend from Savannah. I am looking for my Uncle
".
She sipped at her coffee and stared at the phone, willing it to ring or signal a text and yet dreading the reality of it doing so. Terri was just finishing her coffee when the phone chirped with a text received notification. Opening it she read.
"
About time, I expected to hear from you weeks ago. I'm your Uncle Leroy. Welcome to Chi Town
."
As she finished reading a second text arrived.
