Dobrila's Heart
Chapter Four -- Stretching the Boundaries of Friendship
The next several days passed in an almost idyllic ease and comfort. With amazing dinners, excellent wine and vodka, and Dobrila's wonderfully affectionate companionship, I came to realize that this was the happiest I had been since moving to Las Vegas.
Without the necessity of having to scrape and scrimp to afford my rent, food, and gas for my car, I was even managing to slowly build my meager savings account at the bank.
On the morning Dobrila was to leave for San Diego, I offered to drive her to the airport and also pick her up when she returned, but she would have none of it. "No, Jimmy, no," she said with an adamant shake of her head. "Is silly for you to drive one hour to the airport, and one hour home two times just for me. Is four hours for you to drive. I love that you offer, but no."
Instead, she called for an UBER, and I waited with her at the front door of our building. While we waited, she went over the care and feeding instructions once more for Malenka, (Which I had come to learn meant 'little one') and reminded me that she had also left a pot of coffee and a plate of Danish for me in her kitchen for a late breakfast.
I asked her if she would mind if I spent the day in her apartment to maybe watch some of her movies.
"Of course," she responded with a smile, her brows raised, "You do not need to even ask. You may even spend the night if you wish. I know Malenka would love to have the company, she likes you very much. And my bed is freshly made this morning with clean sheets."
Spending the night was one thing, but sleeping in her bed? I liked the idea of spending the night in her apartment but suggested I would be perfectly comfortable crashing out on her sofa.
Dobrila shrugged and smiled, "Is up to you, Jimmy, but I think the sofa is not so good for sleeping. Is much better in my bed... but is up to you, yes?"
When the UBER driver arrived, she turned to me and threw her arms around my neck for an affectionate hug and kissed me on both cheeks. I had been hoping for just such an intimate opportunity to fuel my fantasies and, when it finally came to pass, I wrapped my arms around her wonderfully thick waist and held her firmly, allowing my body to mold against her in order to sense every sensual press of her soft flesh against me.
I opened the rear door of the vehicle for her, a Jeep Compass, and she ducked her head and stepped inside. As she settled onto the seat, leaning forward to speak to the driver, the hem of her dress rose several inches above her knees, allowing me another very revealing glimpse of her voluptuously plush legs. A glimpse that was sadly over all too soon once the car door was finally closed.
Back in her apartment, I dutifully made the rounds, making sure Malenka's food and water dishes were topped up and all was well with her. She had taken up her usual residence on the windowsill in the sunshine, which was one of her favorite spots. I helped myself to the coffee and pastry she had so thoughtfully left for me and then relaxed on the sofa, to watch the local news and weather.
An hour or so later, the two cups of coffee I had consumed had managed to work their way through my system and I felt a great urge to relieve my bladder. I quickly made my way to the bathroom, where it struck me how I had never been in her bathroom before. It had the exact physical layout as mine but had an entirely different feel simply because it was Dobrila's bathroom and done up to her feminine taste. Her towels matched the dΓ©cor of the shower curtain and toilet seat cover, which also matched the soft-pile rug in front of the sink, where all her lotions, powders, and makeup were neatly arranged, and which gave the entire room a very pleasant floral fragrance.
On the back of the bathroom door hung a pale blue nightgown on a padded hanger. I had often wondered what Dobrila might wear to bed, and to suddenly see the blue nightgown was an eye-opening moment for me as my imagination began to run wild. Good God, I wondered, how incredible would Dobrila look in that nightgown?
A closer look revealed that it appeared surprisingly short. Curious, I held the nightgown up to my body to gauge its length and surmised it would very likely reach well above her knees. It was so sleek and delicately soft to the touch I instantly fantasized about how it might feel to embrace her while she was wearing it and how wonderfully sleek her body would feel through the deliciously sheer material. The nightgown was also moderately transparent as well, and I quickly surmised that her body would very likely be alluringly revealed beneath it. Recalling the stunning glimpse of her legs earlier that morning, I reasoned she would look astonishingly sexy in such a short semi-transparent nightgown.
My bladder beckoned urgently, and I quickly turned toward the toilet. Her bathroom was so neat and clean I couldn't help but feel more than a little intimidated. I even relieved myself while sitting down on the toilet so as to not get any stray drops or splashes of urine anywhere other than the bowl.
As I left the bathroom, her pale blue nightgown caught my eye once again and I reached out to lightly stroke the material. Damn, I thought, why is it that women, purely because of their gender, have such deliciously soft and sensual things to wear. I thought it very likely that there would be a great many men, regardless of sexual persuasion, who would love to feel the same kind of nice fabrics against their skin that women enjoy.
