Codes: MF rom cons het ------- "No, Kel, there's nothing, sorry." I reached for my coffee mug and finished the last of it before getting up and walking to the sink to rinse it out and put it away. My head was pounding with a sudden onset migraine, no doubt brought on by the tension and stress of the past five minutes. I gripped the counter by the sink and waited for the nausea to pass. I was afraid that I might throw up from the queasiness in my stomach. I felt my legs weaken and I started to sway. Somewhere, way in the background, I heard someone screaming my name. I felt something on the back of my head and heard a loud noise before the blackness overwhelmed me. I woke up a little later, lying on the kitchen floor, my head in Kel's lap and her cradling and rocking me in her arms. I knew right away that I'd had another of my tension blackouts. They had plagued me ever since the beginning of puberty. I had passed out on at least twenty occasions over the years, usually at the most awkward of times. My last time doing that had been four years ago, just before I was supposed to walk across the stage to pick up my college degree. I had almost done it again when I asked Kel to marry me, but had somehow held it together and managed to carry on. When she had screamed out her acceptance, the feeling had passed and I was able to regain my equilibrium quickly. I had gone to physical therapy for six months when I was sixteen, for the problem, and they had given me breathing exercises to get me to relax myself when under stress or tension. The exercises really worked great. Unfortunately, when I'm stressed out and filled with tension, I can never remember to do them. My parents knew the signals and would remind me if they saw me getting too tense. "I'm OK, Kel, you can let me up now. Thank you." "Danny, I was so scared. You just dropped back and you banged your head so hard on the linoleum. It happened so fast. Was that one of those things you used to do that you told me about?" "Yes, Kel. It was a blackout. I get them when I'm under stress and forget to breathe correctly. It isn't something common, but I do have them once in awhile, sorry you had to see one." I started to stand up and Kelly wrapped my arm over her shoulder and we walked slowly into my bedroom. I sat down on the bed and laid down on my back. The back of my head hurt a lot, but it was far different than a migraine headache. Much easier to bear. In a matter of minutes I was asleep. I slept for three hours, and woke up only because Kelly was shaking my arm. "Danny, it's time to get up. I made you a couple sandwiches and then you need to shower before we go over to your parent's house." I looked at her face. She was waiting for me to correct her about the 'we' of going over to my parent's house. I knew it would just start another argument though. I was feeling better after my nap, but not well enough to argue with her about that. I just got up out of bed and went into the kitchen. Kel had laid out two sandwiches and a large glass of milk on my dinette for me. The sandwiches were filled with different cold cuts and cheeses and tasted great. she had used mayonnaise, sweet pickles, onions and tomatoes to give them some moisture and additional flavor. They really were good and I ate them both quickly. She must have gone shopping because I never kept food in the refrigerator. I was always gone for long stretches of time and I really always ate out anyway. I couldn't remember the last time I'd had milk either, but it sure tasted good to me. I had just finished my lunch when Kelly came out of the bedroom. She had a towel wrapped around her head and was wearing a blue flannel robe. She looked great in it. "Did you enjoy the sandwiches?" "They were great, thanks. I don't usually eat in, it was a treat, thank you." She had walked over until she was standing right next to me. She opened the robe and showed me her naked body. It was quick, and I didn't turn away. "There's still time for dessert if we hurry." I knew it was costing her a lot in pride to put it right out there and make herself so vulnerable. I kept looking at her, feasting on her body, trying to see as much as I could, fearing there wouldn't be more opportunities to do so."Breathe, Danny! Say something, please." I did take a deep breath and exhaled it. She laughed, but she kept that robe open and I kept looking. "You're still beautiful Kel, that was never a problem. If we did this, if we both wanted to, it wouldn't solve anything. It would be opening old wounds, picking at scabs and starting the bleeding over again. I want to, I really want to, but it wouldn't make any of our problems go away." "You are so wrong about that, Danny, so wrong. In the first place it would make my biggest problem go away. Not having you inside me has been my biggest problem. And it keeps getting bigger. If we do it, I'll feel better and I bet you will too. I haven't been with anybody since you, Danny, that's a long time to be abstinent. I haven't wanted anyone else since the second I first met you. For me, it's either you or no one. If we do it this once, maybe it will somehow help with the other things. It won't hurt, that's for sure." I continued to breathe deeply and focus on the woman in front of me. If I'd had any resolve to weaken, I'm sure it would have by now. "Go get in the bed, Kel. I need a quick rinse and then we'll see if you're right." She turned away, dropped her robe and took off the towel that was wrapped around her head and then she slowly sauntered away towards the bedroom. I stayed seated, my eyes glued to her ass as she moved away. Somewhere, some part of my brain was screaming MISTAKE, BIG MISTAKE, HUGE FUCKING MISTAKE!!!!!but the rest of my brain, all of my heart and definitely my dick were shouting back SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DON'T SPOIL IT FOR THE REST OF US!!!! I jumped up and moved quickly into my shower. I was washing off and running through my entire repertoire of breathing exercises. I turned off the shower, squeaky clean and well ventilated. I walked out of the bathroom naked and excited. Kelly was laying in the middle of the bed, a nervous smile on her face and an expectant, hopeful expression in her eyes. And so, we made love. We did all the things that we knew how to do, taking and giving all the pleasure we could. I someone managed to remember to keep breathing in and out and still kept track of all the places on her body that I wanted to visit. It happened while I was laying on top of her, in the missionary position of all things, my eyes were locked with hers, I felt like we were looking into each other's souls, we were both moving slowly, so close to cumming, her face was so red and it continued on down past her neck and across both breasts and to the rest of her chest. I felt myself beginning to shake from the strain of holding back, I didn't want it ever to be over. There were tears coming from her eyes and mine, leaking out and running down both our cheeks. I began to feel something deep inside me getting ready to let go, I realized at once that it was that huge knot of pain and anger that had been festering inside me for a long time. I wondered why I'd never wanted to let it go before now, especially since it now looked like it was so easy to do. I felt free for the first time in a long while. And as this sense of freedom washed over me, I just let myself go and pressed in as deep as I could, spraying my seed, spurting in waves as deep as I could get. When I was finished with cumming, after that last, almost painful shudder, I lay down on her chest, feeling her arms holding me tightly, and I just cried. Not the leaky eyed crying that had taken place earlier. This was loud, gasping, shoulder wrenching crying. Teeth clenching, shuddering, uncontrollable sobbing, crying. It was 'I lost my best friend' crying. I was embarrassed but I knew that it had to take place before I could begin to regain my composure. "I love you Dan. It's OK. Whatever it is, it will be OK." I rolled off of her and put my arm around her head and drew her in close. I put my other arm around her and hugged her tightly to me, squeezing her for a few seconds. "Well, that was good. You were right Kel, it didn't hurt. Well, it really did hurt, but it was a good hurt, a cleansing hurt. I'm real glad we got to do this. I do feel better." I wanted to say a lot more to her right then, but I held myself back, wanting to wait and see how the rest of the day would unfold. "We should get cleaned up if we're going over to see the folks. You know how sensitive mom's nose is. She'd know we'd been fucking as soon as we walked up the stairs to her porch." "So it's OK if I go with you, then?" "I'm sure they'll both be tickled to see you again. They took it really bad when I told them we were divorcing. They always were very fond of you, it's me they never cared much for." "Silly." "No, I'm serious. They've been mad at me ever since we broke up. I hardly go see them anymore because they're always ragging on me about you. Maybe when they see you with me, they'll give it a rest. I could use it, believe me." We showered together and she let me spend five minutes or so soaping up her fine ass. I hadn't really enjoyed taking a shower since we broke up because she used to always let me soap her butt up. She has the smoothest skin on her ass, like a babies butt, I swear. I've touched a few butts in my youth, and none felt anything like hers to me. It is always warm, and under the soft skin you can feel the muscles that lie beneath the surface. She can make her butt muscles so tight that it stretches her skin. And, she swears she's never been athletic or worked out even. It was 2:00 when we showed up at my parent's front door. I'm the one carrying their anniversary present, but they both just ignored me and were all over Kelly. I know they hadn't seen her for a long time, but they could at least have said hello to me or acknowledged that I was there. Kel, got hugged and kissed and my mom just pushed me out of her way as she led Kelly into the house. My dad stayed out with me though. He was beaming at me as he nodded towards the retreating women. "Well Daniel, have you finally come to your senses then?" "We're just helping each other out this weekend, dad. She wanted to come with me to see you and mom when she found out I'd be visiting you today." "Just helping each other you say? She looks like a woman who's freshly fucked to me, and you look like you've gotten some yourself. Are you going to stand there and deny that to me?" I walked right past him and into the house. I put their present down on the big mahogany buffet in the entry way and went into the kitchen looking for a beer. I passed my mother and Kelly as they sat on the big overstuffed sofa, talking in whispers and both looking up and over at me as I walked by them I got myself that beer and went out on the back porch and looked at the back yard. My dad had about thirty fruit trees in the back and they all looked like they had had a good year. There was still rotted fruit under most of the trees. My parents never bother to pick any usually, they just like the idea of growing things. My dad came out on the porch and took a swig from his beer. "So, are you going to answer my question or not? Are the two of you back together or not?" "We're helping each other with some things. We're talking. If you leave it alone, maybe something might happen, but you making a big thing isn't going to help us. Drop it OK?" "Sorry, Daniel. I don't mean to pry, but you just gave us a hell of a surprise. Kelly just appearing with you, out of nowhere, no warning, you can't blame me for being just a little bit curious. We always loved that girl you know, she brought out the tiniest morsels of what fun you seem to have in you. You two were so happy in the beginning, so happy." "I know dad, I'm sorry I jumped on you, but it's too early right now to talk about where it's heading. I'll let you know if anything comes out of the weekend, OK?" "Well, let's go in and see to the womenfolk before they start hatching up schemes against us. You can never be too careful you know." We walked back into the house and found them still sitting on the sofa and whispering to each other. I never understood how women can sit together so close and just whisper for long periods like that. Guys never do it, it isn't natural for guys. "I've been getting an earful about you Danny. Kelly tells me that you had another one of your blackouts this morning. Tell me, son, how in the name of all that's good and holy can a grown man suddenly forget to breathe? Morons and idiots can seem to remember, but my son, the college graduate, he can't seem to master that little trick. One of these days you're going to forget and never start back up again. And if you do, don't expect me to be coming to your funeral." My mom started crying then. She was always so worried about my blackouts. Even when the doctor assured her that I would always start breathing normally after losing consciousness, she never quite managed to believe that. "It happens once every four or five years mom, maybe three times since high school. I'm pretty much over it. I just got a bad migraine this morning and wasn't thinking too clearly. It's no big deal." I looked over at Kelly and gave her the stare. Women don't seem to care if they say things to get people's parents upset. Guys learn not to do it while they're still in elementary school. "Well maybe this time it was for the best. Kelly tells me the two of you had quite a workout afterwards." Holy Mother of God, she didn't! I felt my face burning and turning a bright red. My dad started laughing, that loud braying kind of laugh he has, and that made it worse. "Danny, breathe in, right now." I just looked at my mom and at Kelly and then over at my dad and then I took a deep breath. "Keep it up, the three of you and I'm leaving. I mean it too." Kel jumped up and came over and gave me a hug. "Sorry Dan, I just had to tell her. She guessed it anyway. I suppose it was easy to tell from the way that I look and feel right now. I'm sorry we embarrassed you, but it was so cute seeing you blush." We spent another hour with the folks. They insisted on opening their gift while we were there and, predictably, my mother loved the gifts Kelly had purchased. The comforter fit their bed perfectly, and so did the table cloth, making their old dinner table look appreciably better. My dad and I exchanged a look, both knowing these things were only understandable at some level that neither of us would ever be comfortable getting to. Women were usually the same way around cars and fishing tackle, so I guess it all evens out someway. We drove back to my place with Kelly snuggled up against me, even though that meant she had to sit in the less comfortable middle section. Lexus missed the boat on three passenger front seating. After we walked into my apartment the two of us undressed for bed. It was still light out, but I hadn't slept well and had to get up real early. Kel said she was tired too and that she'd get up early and head back over to her place to get ready for work in the morning. Of course we wound up not getting to sleep until it was very dark outside. We had always been very compatible in the bedroom and nothing seemed changed in that way. We enjoyed each other, trying to get our fill after a longtime of self denial. When we finally drifted off to sleep, the head of my very tired pecker was nestled tightly between her butt cheeks. I had to tell her I loved her at least twenty times before she'd permit me to fall asleep. I woke up at 5:00 feeling her lips on my very stiff cock. As soon as she saw my eyes opened she climbed on top and put me inside her. We spent the next fifteen minutes with our fingers intertwined, our eyes locked on each other, as we slowly built up to a frenzied crescendo. We finished off with a thirty minute shower, soaping each other until we were both content. We both got dressed and there was a small sense of awkwardness while we got ready to part again. We hadn't really talked that much. I'm sure she was as hopeful as I was, but neither of us was ready to risk missing out on now by talking about the future. I kissed her at my front door and wished her a good week. I told her I'd call her when I knew when I'd be back for sure. She told me she'd miss me and I assured her the same was true for me. I ended up taking her down the stairs and out of the building to her car, carrying her suitcase as we walked. I was running late and so was she. Finally, she waved and drove off. I raced back up to my apartment and finished getting ready to leave. For the first time in a long while, my job performance just didn't seem that critical to me. I was feeling relaxed, maybe even a little complacent. It turned out to be another bear of a week anyway, I logged over seventy hours of driving and making calls. What was remarkable about it all was that I had plenty of energy from beginning to end. I had the energy to call Kel every night wherever I was staying, just to check in and say hello. I even had the energy to get up early each day and find a Kinko's to fax in my sales orders. Another funny thing happened that week. Lots of my customers decided to pick the same time to increase the amount of business they did with us. By Thursday I had written 40% more orders than I'd managed in any previous week. Friday was my biggest single day ever, putting me way over the projections I'd sent in on the previous Saturday. It was Thursday before I thought to ask Kelly if she'd go to Mike and Tammi's wedding with me on Saturday. She thought that would be great and said she already had the perfect dress for it. I got back to my apartment late Friday, I hadn't left Phoenix until almost 6:00 that afternoon. I had phoned Kel at 4:00, letting her know it would be very late before I got back to town. I told her I'd come by to pick her up at noon Saturday to head over to the wedding. When I made it up to my apartment, Kelly was waiting. She said she'd just trusted that I'd never changed the locks and that her old key would still fit. Everything seemed to fit that night. The wedding on Saturday went very well, the bride was radiant and beautiful. I thought Kelly looked much better, but didn't tell that to anyone but her. We drank and danced and had a great time at the reception. We left early though, because we wanted to get an early start on getting to bed. On Sunday we flew into Las Vegas real early and found that same seedy wedding chapel and the same fake Elvis to sing The Hawaiian Wedding Song as we once again said our vows. I can't wait to tell my parents, they'll just shit when they hear the news. ------- The End ------- Posted: 2005-08-24 ------- http://storiesonline.net/ -------
