Room 128: Part 4 - Addendum
I suggest reading parts 1 through 3, though it's not necessary. An unintentional catharsis for the author, this addendum has lots of talking. Dedicated to the real Janice.
Within a few minutes Jan and I were standing under the warm stream of the hotel shower.
I pressed my lips against her ear. "What do you think about what Roxanne said?"
She turned toward me, rubbing a tiny bar of hotel soap across my chest. "When?"
I held the soft cloth under the hot water before reaching around to scrub her back. "As she left, she said, 'I love you both.' Do you think she meant it?"
Jan's soapy hands worked their way down the front of my body. "I think she meant it in the moment. That's all that really matters."
I reached lower to gently squeezed and spread her ass cheeks. "Hm."
"What? Why?"
I stopped scrubbing her and put my hands on her hips, pulling her close.
"Since you visited L.A., I've wanted to call you several times. I wanted to tell you something funny that happened or share a book I'm reading."
"You could have done that, Lover."
"But mainly," I started scrubbing again; this time, on her front. "Mainly I just wanted to hear your voice."
"Oh."
She looked down where her hands had lathered my pubic hair, and I was wiping hers with a cloth.
I sighed. "Yeah."
She turned me to face the water, letting it rinse the bubbles from my groin. She spoke softly in my ear. "And now?"
"I was doing fine until the conversation about the valet and your daughter and the guns."
"Daniel wouldn't really shoot you, ya big goof."
"That's good to hear."
"He'd sue your ass for alienation of affection."
I chuckled while I turned off the water. I leaned down as she tilted up to kiss me.
"I don't like that you have to lie. To your husband or your kids. I don't want that to be our future."
"What is our future?"
