Adrienne leaned back in the car happy and buzzed, well in all honesty rather drunk. It was 2 AM Friday, Mike and her were returning home from a party to celebrate the end of midterms and the beginning of Spring break. She had a few more drinks than appropriate but she felt like celebrating now that she finished her Lit portfolio. She looked over at Mike. He had been tense every since yesterday when he returned from one of his gambling nights with Jason. She had wondered if maybe he lost a lot of money but before leaving for the party he had given her an exquisite diamond necklace. A man in financial straits doesn't make a purchase like that. When she asked what the occasion was he just said he loved her. Then he kissed her with such a longing that she didn't think they would make it to the party. When she asked if anything was wrong he released her and said everything was fine and ushered her out the door
Now as she watched him, his hands gripped the steering wheel. He noticed her watching him and smiled at her. Did she imagine the sadness behind that smile, the weariness in his green eyes? "I'll get to the bottom of this tomorrow, when we are both clear headed," she thought to herself.
They pulled up to the condo and before they could step out the car a silver Lexus SUV parked beside them. "Why did Jason follow us back?" Adrienne asked trying to keep the irritation out her voice. Mike grumbled in a barely audible voice about Jason having to pick something up and quickly got out of the car.
Adrienne left the guys in the living room and went to take her shower. They seemed on edge and she had the feeling they were waiting for her to leave the room so they could have their discussion. She was tempted to eavesdrop on them but for some reason she had a feeling she didn't really want to know what they were arguing about. As she ran soapy hands over her breast she felt that telling warm tingle spread throughout her body. Her hands crept down to the juncture between her thighs. She lightly rubbed her clit and inhaled as she eased a slim finger into her warmth. She sighed as she pulled her hands back up and rinsed off. She rather wait for Mike than make do with her fingers. She wrapped a towel around her body, her skin smelling of her vanilla honey lotion, and went to the bedroom. She contemplated getting under the covers and waiting for Mike naked but decided to put on one of her nighties. Mike enjoyed taking off her clothes himself. She picked a green silk nightie that left a bit of her bottom exposed. Mike loved her in green. He said it complemented her cinnamon brown skin and made her amber brown eyes glow. Next she slid on a matching colored sheer thong. If she had any hair it would have shown through but she kept herself smooth. Next she brushed out her loose curling hair and let it fall to her shoulders. Lastly she put on her lip gloss that tasted like strawberries and stretched out on the bed. Now that she was lying down the alcohol was making her a bit sleepy. She hoped Mike wouldn't be too long.
**********************************
Mike stood at the doorway gazing at his peacefully sleeping girlfriend. She looked like an angel. Well perhaps a bit too alluring to be an angel, as he looked at the nightie that had arisen over her plump little ass. But there was something vulnerable and maybe even pure about her beauty. Would his next action shatter that purity forever?
Adrienne stirred as Mike sat down on the bed next to her. "Took you long enough" she said as she sat up smiling.
"I had something very important I needed to discuss with Jason."
"Well I gathered as much from the 'very serious man business' face you've been wearing since yesterday and are wearing right now..."
"Yeah. Well the thing is I've screwed up. I lost a lot money the other night more than I could cover." Adrienne started to comment but he cut her off. "50 k to be exact. It was stupid of me. I mean gambling with the goddamn mob, fucking A!" She gasped. The mob?
"Babe, what are we going to do? I have a couple of thousands I can give you right now. I can call my father as well. I mean I couldn't tell him what it was for but I think I can get him to loan me 5 or 6 thousand. I know you don't get a long with you dad but surely under the circumstance...." She didn't bother finishing her sentence because Mike was shaking his head.
"I could have gotten the damn money. It would have taken me a few weeks but I could have done it."
"What do you mean could? You have to get the money, this is the mob where talking about."
"Two days. Two days is the longest they were willing to wait, two days! My father is useless. I mean his gives me what money he does out of a father son obligation but he wouldn't give me a penny more. I had no other choice."
