Even sharing an apartment, I didn't see much of Ginny for the next few days. Her shift at that big store ran til nine most nights. If a big shipment came in, she'd get a few hours of overtime helping to unload. That meant she was in late. I was in bed early and up early most days that week, for meetings with the teams in Israel and India. As a result, our schedules didn't overlap much.
I had hoped there would be more of the previous weekend's intimacy, but I was starting to think it was just a one-time thing. Which sucked, because Ginny was fantastic in bed, on top of being beautiful, smart, and all the other things I hope for in a woman.
It did give me time to work on a personal challenge. As much as I liked that site with all the amateur porn stories, most of them were pretty bad. The challenge to myself was to prove I could do better. Coming up with a good story and telling it well turned out to be harder than I thought. By Friday, though, I had a draft that I hadn't torn up.
The bigger thing on my mind that night was spending some time with Ginny. I ate a small snack early, but timed supper to be ready when Ginny got home. I made lasagna, enough for plenty of leftovers, garlic bread with lots of garlic and butter, and a salad. I poured a glass of wine and went over my story yet again while I waited for her to come home.
A while later, I heard the front door rattle. "Hi Doug!" It was Ginny, and she sounded in a good mood.
"Hi Gin. Hungry? It's lasagna tonight."
"Mmm. Sounds good. Thanks, by the way, for the dinners you've been leaving. I'm pretty tired most nights, and I appreciate having something ready for me."
"Any thing for my little sister."
I started to fold my laptop, but Ginny asked, "Whatcha doing? Anything interesting?"
I wasn't sure how to answer. "Just reading. It's an idea I've been thinking about."
"Something I might like?"
"Let's eat first."
I filled Ginny's wine glass and refilled mine, and we sat to eat. That late, we were both hungry, so there wasn't much conversation. Ginny opened the garlic bread and broke off a slice. "Oh, yeah, just the way I like it. Equal parts garlic and bread."
I laughed, "Not quite, but I get tired of wimpy garlic bread. That loaf has a whole head of garlic in it."
"I'm just glad you're not someone else's brother."
After a while, we both just stared at the remaining food, trying to decide whether we wanted any more. I decided no, and stood up. I also decided to let Ginny read my story. I wasn't completely sure it was a good idea, but what the heck. "Gin, you wanted to read that story I was working on?"
"Story? Since when do you write stories?"
"Read it first, then I'll tell you about it."
I broke my own rule, the cook doesn't clean, while Ginny read. Every now and then, she'd look up at me with an odd look, then go back to reading. I had almost cleared the table when she sat back and looked at me. Nervous, I asked, "So what do you think?"
"I think it's about the hottest thing I ever read. You wrote that by yourself? You did a convincing job with the first person woman's voice. I mean, I might have acted differently, but it's very believable."
"Thanks. I wasn't sure about that."
"But why a woman's point of view? And why the story at all?"
"It's just the way the story came to me. Once I had the scene in mind, she pretty much told me what to write."
"Okay, but why? Oh, and you cooked. That means I clean up."
I sat down told her about that web site, the one full of stories by would-be porn writers, and the 'put up or shut up' challenge I has set myself. She bustled around, putting things away and loading the dishwasher. "I have to check out that web site. Just not now, I'm beat."
"Me too." I closed the editor and shut the laptop. Ginny headed to her room while I put my laptop and some work stuff away and started turning out the lights.
Ginny stuck her head out of her room and asked, "Have you been listening in on my nightlies?" She meant her end of day masturbation. It shocked her when I told her I could hear her through the wall, and shocked her more when I said I was doing the same, listening to her. The shock wore off quickly, though, especially with everything else we'd done.
"Not this week. I've had all those early meetings, so I was usually asleep before you got home."
"Tonight you don't have to listen through the wall, if you don't want to."
"I'll be there in a minute, I think I'm over-dressed for the occasion."
"No rush. I have to brush my teeth anyway."
I went to my room and stripped. I already had a full, fat erection when I joined Ginny in the bathroom. I stood next to her and got my own toothbrush ready. She had a mouthful of toothpaste, but reached over and took hold of my erection. We looked at each other in the big mirror over the sink, and she started moving back and forth along the shaft in her hand. She finished first, rinsed her mouth, and said, "It's not nice to keep a lady waiting."
