A Kiss to Last a Lifetime

The Next Few Days part 3

Chloe’s pov

Goodness Sherry wore me down with questions and wine. We ordered dinner and I decided to stay over after we drank two bottles of wine. I felt it in the morning, but Sherry had it worse. Some tea and a shower straightened me out while Sherry was telling me about the room spinning.

I told her she should’ve eaten more and drank less, but when I mentioned food she ran for the bathroom. Luckily she made it to the toilet in time. I helped clean her up as best as I could. When she thought she was finished barfing, I helped her to her bedroom. I gave her a couple aspirin tablets, a hydro flask filled with water and saltines. I also set an empty bucket next to her bed just in case. She looked miserable, but she looked much better than 30 minutes ago. I told her I would be leaving soon to go to the hospital. But I made sure to rub her head until she fell asleep.

I summoned an Uber shortly after Sherry fell asleep. When I got home mom was cooking breakfast and it smelled absolutely delicious! So glad I waited until I got home to have breakfast!

“Honey, I’m surprised you’re home so early. Would you like some breakfast, I cooked bacon, sausage, omelette and English toast. There’s fresh fruit and veggies in the fridge that I was going to prepare, but maybe you could help with them while I finish cooking.”

“All of it! I want it all and I will get started on the fruits and veggies.” My stomach growled and I popped a few of the washed and sliced strawberries into my mouth.

“Don’t spoil your appetite filling up on fruit. I made a lot of real food. Please set the table.”

Around the time I finished setting the table, mom called dad to the dining room. She was done cooking and brought the mouth watering feast to the table. I almost forgot we had to say grace before the meal. After blessing the food it was time to dig in! As always everything was cooked to perfection! I know I was moaning as I ate, because mom and dad were giggling.

After breakfast we prepared ourselves for a trip to the hospital. Luckily, today was an uneventful day. Tessa did not return, and why would she after being exposed yesterday? I was happy to avoid the drama and awkward conversations. Dane was still sleeping and nothing new in his progress report.

It had been a few hours and I wanted to check in with Sherry, so I messaged her.

Me: Are you awake?

Sherry: I’m awake and feel better, thanks for taking care of me. Heart emojis

Me: No problem, you know I got you! lol

Sherry: Where are you right now and who’s with you?

Me: I’m at the hospital with mom, dad and Reggie.

Sherry: I really don’t like Dane, but I hope he wakes up soon, so you and your family don’t have to be around the hospital anymore.

Sherry: Tell me what you’re wearing right now!

Me: Why is that important?

Sherry: Because you may have an encounter with an eggplant emoji soon!

Me: Oh my goodness! I gotta go! I just wanted to make sure you are feeling better and you are, so I’ll talk to you later. Kiss emoji

Sherry: Love you babes lots of heart and kissing emojis followed by a peach and eggplant.

I felt embarrassed, looked around to make sure no one could see my phone, locked the screen and put the phone in my hand bag. Sherry was great, but also spoke her mind! I appreciated her persistence most of the time, but right now I’m just trying to leave the hospital.

Reggie came up behind me and said, “I hope your friend is feeling better. Whatever news you got put some color in your cheeks and has you smiling, so I hope it was all good news.”

“You know Sherry enough to know whatever she said was something that I’m not going to repeat!” Reggie and I laughed together.

“So I was wondering if you might want to go back to the lake after this? I will take care of the food. All you have bring is yourself, your art supplies and your unfinished painting?”

I throw my arms around Reggie. I hadn’t thought about my unfinished art, but he was and that made me appreciate him even more. I pecked his cheek and caught my parents eyeing us.

“I would love to! I’m so excited, okay I need to go home and get everything ready.” I exclaimed.

“I’ve already asked Roscoe to prepare some of my favorites, I hope you enjoy them too. I did have him prepare other stuff too just in case. I just want to make sure we are comfortable and well fed.”

I kissed his lips this time. My parents interrupted saying they were ready to leave. On the way home I told my parents I was planning to spend the evening with Reggie. Before my departure, I collected my art supplies, kissed each parent’s cheek and made sure they had Reggie’s contact information.

Reggie and I set everything up, when we got to the lake, after he insisted on carrying everything to the lake once again. I couldn’t stop smiling. What a gentleman!

I ate a little bit of everything from the cuisine Roscoe, Reggie’s family personal chef, prepared. I had never eaten a deviled egg before, but I almost stole Reggie’s after I polished mine off. He cut his last one in half and shared with me.

After I was stuffed, we cuddled for a few moments, before I got up and got my painting station together. I only had so much time to capture the lightness, before darkness engrossed this hidden valley.

When I was satisfied with the piece I finally called Reggie over. It was the best work I had ever done and I was proud. Reggie praised my talent and told me he would frame and hang it after I added my signature. I was filled with pure joy at his words and I wouldn’t stop kissing him until I remembered that he was painting too. I wanted to see his artwork.

“What did you paint this time?”

“Just you.” Reggie said. He grabbed my hand and guided me to the front of his easel. I was shocked at what I was seeing. He had painted me into an exquisite satin blue dress with gold trim that I’ve never seen before. My hair was half up and half down with a few strays hairs here and there. The amount of detail he put into everything left me at a loss for words.

“Do you like it? I was remembering you in that blue dress from the club, and you looked so good, not that you don’t look great every day, but this is the way I see you when I close my eyes and in my dreams.”

I was overwhelmed with emotions in that moment. I needed to feel him to know this was real. I faced him and smashed our lips into each other. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted someone so much in my life! I only hoped the earth wouldn’t shatter at any moment and wake me up from a dream.

It was real, my fingers roaming through his hair, and tender moans escaping me were all real. I was feeling tingles everywhere we touched and was almost leaking between my thighs. At some point we began to lay down on the blanket spread out for the picnic. I was on top of him and spread my legs so I could sit up.

That was a mistake. My sweet lady bud rubbed against his swollen husband bulge. I moaned and he groaned at the same time. I ground against him again this time intentionally. Before I could do it again Reggie grabbed my hips to prevent my grinding.

“I really like you a lot, but I’m not ready and this isn’t the right place.”

I felt disappointed and deflated, before he said, “You’re driving me crazy and if you don’t stop you will never be able to get rid of me.”

Well I started this, I thought to myself, why shouldn’t I finish it? At that moment my phone buzzed. It was my parents interrupting my secs life. “I guess It’s time to go home, but this conversation isn’t finished.” I told Reggie.

“To be continued…” he groaned as I made sure to swipe his bulge with my inner thigh before releasing him.
