The two of them pulled out their phones, went through their contact lists, keyed in a short message, and hit send. Afterward, Chase pulled Meaghan into his arms.
“Feel like dinner?”
“I want to eat something, that’s for sure,” she teased, eyebrows raised and smiling.
“Well, well. I’d better make sure that something’s ready for your sweet lips.”
She bit down on her lips seductively and winked.
“I think we should celebrate. We found a place! And we can move there right now, baby.”
“How about we check out of this motel right now, Chase? We can stop and pick up pizza, a few groceries and a bottle of wine—and soda for you, of course.”
“Great idea. It should save us a little money, and we can get settled in.”
“Oh wait. My phone’s buzzing.” She took out the phone again and checked the message on her screen. “It’s Aunt Jen. She said she knew things would go well for us. She’s pleased as pie, and she says to send her the address, so she can ship our things directly there.”
“That’s great! We’ll have our stuff.”
“Yes, ” she answered. She looked up at him and licked her lips slowly to get his attention. “And Chase?”
“Yeah?”
“I’ll show you how I like to celebrate, and then when we’re done, you can show me.”
Chase smiled and pulled her in for a long kiss. He held on to her tightly. “I really like this side of you, Meg. I never knew you could be such a tease.”
“And what would you have done if you knew?” She asked, as he unlocked their motel room door.
“I would have—hell, I would have snuck in your dorm and rocked your world a long time ago.”
“Mmmm. You were worth the wait, baby.”
“So now, I have a question for you.”
“And what’s that?”
“Do you really want fifteen babies with me?”
She smiled and winked. “Let’s get through college, and I’ll let you know then.”
“Deal.”
They checked the room to make sure they had everything, and left to drop off the keys and get their final bill.
“Meg?”
“Yes?”
“Let’s blow this popsicle stand!”
“Hella yeah!”

As they walked off the elevator into their new apartment, pizza and two grocery bags in hand, Chase stopped short.
“Can you believe this?”
“I can. It’s serendipity. Probably proof things can’t stay bad forever.”
He nodded. They walked to their unit and he stopped her again when he opened the door.
“Meg. Can you hold this for me?” He asked, passing the pizza and bags to her. “I want this to be special.”
“Sure.”
He leaned forward, held her back, and swooped up her legs to pick her up. As he carried her over the threshold, he said, “Meaghan, I know this is a tradition for married couples. But tonight, I’m claiming it for us as best friends. I love you, Meg. Let’s stay best friends forever. And anything more is like heaven.”
She held her breath, unsure what to say. Her heart was beating so hard it could burst out of her chest. She leaned into him, buried her head on his neck. “I love you, Chase. Bffs forever, honey.”
“I have one more thing,” he said, putting her down and locking the door behind them. He reached for the backpack she still had on, and took it off her back.
“Really?”
“Yep. Close your eyes for a second. And cover them up.
She did, laughing nervously. “I love surprises, Chase. But I can’t wait. Just tell me.”
“Shhh. Just cover your eyes and wait.”
He put the backpack on the floor and reached into a tiny side pocket. He pulled something out and walked back to her, a hand behind his back and a warm smile on his face.
“Are your eyes still closed?”
“Yes.”
“Keep them closed, but put your hands to your side now.”
“Okay.”
He reached his hands around her neck and pushed aside her hair. He let a fine, gold necklace fall to her chest.
“Is this a—”
“Shhh,” he said, fumbling with the clasp at the back. “Keep those eyes closed.”
When it locked in place, he gently led her down the hallway to the bathroom. It was the only place with a mirror, but it had to do.
“Ok,” he said. “You can open your eyes now.”
She slowly opened her eyes and looked in the mirror, and then down to her chest. The gold necklace had a pendant with Chase’s name on it.
“Oh my God, Chase,” she said, her hands shaking and tears welling up in her eyes. “You can’t give this to me. I can’t remember the last time you wore this.”
“It’s the one thing my mom gave me that I held on to. I always carry it with me in my wallet. I want you to have it. That way I can admire it on your neck, and maybe, if you let me, I can always carry you with me.”
“Awwww,” she said. A few tears fell down her cheek as the hugged him. “That’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever said to me. And the answer is yes. I’ll wear it.”
“Great.”
“It’ll be a little heavy carrying me around everywhere, though,” she joked.
“I meant figuratively, Meg.”
“Yes, yes, I know,” she laughed.
“Okay. Close your eyes again. There aren’t any more gifts. Not tangible ones, anyway. But I want to do one more thing.
“You really want this to be special don’t you?”
“Yes I do. It’s a new beginning. New and positive and exciting.”
“I—I just don’t know how to thank you, Chase.”
“Stop changing the subject and close your eyes,” he teased.
***
Meaghan felt Chase leading her back down the hallway.
“Sit slowly, but don’t open your eyes yet,” she heard him say as he gently pushed her shoulders to lower her. When she opened my eyes he was kneeling in front of her.
As he leaned forward, she did too and wrapped her arms around his strong, wide shoulders. He nestled his head in her chest and she held him as tight as she could. She kissed the top of his forehead and brushed her hand through his hair. She felt so close to him, so right.
She tilted his chin up and moved in to kiss his lips. He met her mouth with force, invading her lips with hunger and raw need. She felt his hands reached around and pull her into him, and her pussy throbbed with passion. She was already wet for him.
He must have read her mind, because he stood up and pulled her with him. He kneeled in front of her and undid the belt, jeans button and zipper of her pants. He tugged it down her leg with her panties, and kissed her stomach.
“I want you, Chase,” she whispered through moans.
He made her sit again. He pulled the clothes off her legs, and spread her wide. “I want to please you until you come in my mouth, Meg.”
“Oh God,” she groaned, feeling her stomach clench when he said it in his deep, husky voice.
She took his hand and pressed it onto her burning hot mound. She hissed as he fondled her clit gently and then slid both hands to her thighs, spreading her so wide she could feel the cooler air stimulate her clit. For a moment he just looked at her, seeming to admire everything in his view.
“You’re mine, Meg. All of you.”
“Yes, baby,” she whispered. He was everything she could ever want. Nothing else mattered.
Her excitement grew as he held her firmly in place with his hands. His head descended between her legs, and his tongue was the first thing to gently meet with her clit. He licked and blew her sensitive flesh, making her more desperate to feel him inside. She went wild when he slid three thick fingers deep inside her, and curled his fingers to find her needy spot.
She could barely control herself anymore. Her hips rocked wildly on his face, legs clamped around his n
eck to intensify the sensations. Without warning, he pushed his fingers deeper and harder inside her, fucking her hard as it hit her g-spot over and over again. There was no more control. Her orgasm went off like an explosion—it burst from her core and charged through every part of her body before shutting off her brain. She arched her back and covered her mouth as she came, hard.
Chase removed his fingers, but continued strumming gently on her clit. He moved up to kiss her cheek after she came. He kissed her lips, and parted them lips to explore her mouth with his tongue, moving it at the same pace he flicked on her clit. She felt her need rising above the last climax, and began bucking her hips on his hand again.
“Come inside me, Chase. Please come inside me.”
He moaned and stood up, stripping off all his clothes and tossing them aside. She could see his eyes darken as he looked up and down her body with a feral, animalistic glare. Without saying a word, he helped her up from the couch and pulled her shirt over her head. He picked her up again and carried her to the master bedroom.
He lowered her on the bed and crushed his lips into hers again, arousing her even more as he possessed her mouth and lips and tongue. He growled when he pulled from the kiss and moved his lip down her neck, kissing a soft, wet, hungry trail to her breasts. Her nipples were already so hard, and his tongue’s tender touch drove her insane as her sensual need intensified.
She dug her nails into his back and wrapped her legs around his hip, drawing him in. She buzzed with need, and couldn’t wait to feel his thick, solid shaft inside her. It made her feel whole. It filled up something more than the physical—something that had been empty and hungry all her life.
“Come inside me, please,” she said again. “Don’t make me beg, baby.”
A gravelly grunt escaped his lips as he pulled from her breasts. He positioned his raging erection on her wet pussy and drove it into her. She was wet, and so ready, his thrust was welcome. He moved in and out with solid, deliberate moves, picking up speed as she lifted her hips up to meet each jolt.
Their rhythm found an enjoyable pace. She could go on like this for hours. She quickly changed her mind when he slid one hand under her back and drove into her with a force that took her breath away. She felt he was probably ready to come. He buried his head in her neck and when he kissed and bit his pleasure above her tender collarbone, she was undone. She moaned as she came a second time, squeezing his ass cheeks until he exploded inside her too. Their hips rocked gently as they descended from ecstasy, and he lowered himself to her chest. They held each other for some time, panting before either of them could speak.
“You were amazing,” she said to him first.
“You’re so hot, so sweet, baby,” he answered, whispering as he looked deeply into her eyes. I love how wet you get for me.”
“You make me wet, Chase. And you’ve always made me so happy. I love you so much.”
“And I love you.”
A long yawn came from Chase as he pulled out and got comfortable beside her.
“We should get some rest. We’ll be on the job hunt tomorrow.”
“Yeah, I guess,” she said, stretching. “Just promise you won’t start worrying when you wake up.”
“I’ll try.”
“Cool. So you’re not hungry?”
“Not anymore,” he teased. He thought for a moment and then asked, “Want me to go to my room now?”
“This is our room, hun. Stay with me. I want you beside me in bed every night.”
“Mmmm.”
They settled in and pulled the covers up to sleep, but there was a knock on the door.
“I wonder who that is,” Chase said. “I’ll get it. It’s probably the landlord. You sleep.”
He walked to the living room and put his jeans back on. He picked up the rest of their clothes and placed it on the sofa, and put the pizza and grocery bags in the fridge, before checking the peephole. It was Jose. Chase had given him his unit number when he texted him back at the motel, so it wasn’t out of the ordinary. He just felt that maybe Jose might call first before showing up. He opened the door.
“Hey Jose. What’s up?”
“Hey man. I’ve got good news, bud.”
“Yeah? Come in, lets’ talk inside.”
“Thanks.”
They stood inside the doorway to talk.
“I can’t say long, man. But I knew you could use some good news. I talked to my boss, and told him you were looking for work.”
“And what did he say?”
“Well it’s funny. He always asks for people’s names and shit when he’s checking possible staff out, you know?”
“That sounds pretty normal.”
“Yeah, but when I told him your name, he called his wife downstairs and told her your name too.”
“That is weird.”
“No, that’s not the weird part, man. She asked me what you looked like, and who you were here with. And when I told her your description, and said you were with Meaghan Connors, she turned white as a sheet.
“The lady pulled my boss aside, and they talked in the next room for a while. I waited a long time, man. It sounded like she was crying a bit. When he came back out, he said you’re hired. He’s never hired anyone without the mechanic shop manager interviewing them first. So you’re hired man!”
“What? Really? That’s cool. I wonder why?”
“I don’t know, Chase, but I don’t get paid to ask questions, you know what I mean? Anyway. This next thing is the craziest part.”
“Oh. That wasn’t?”
“No, no,” he said and laughed. “Do you know a Marsha Moscov?”
“Never heard of her.”
“Well she knows you.”
“Wait a minute. Isn’t Moscov the name of our landlord?”
“Yes it is. The landlord is my boss’s brother. Marsha Moscov is my boss’s wife. She came back to talk to me after Mr. Moscov hired you, and told me to give you this envelope. She said you’d remember.”
“I can’t think of any Marsha Moscov,” he answered, confused as he took the thick manila envelope. “The only Marsha I know is my mom, but her name was West like mine. It has to be Connors now, or maybe Gerald if she went back to her maiden name.”
Chase looked at his name on the envelope. He was in disbelief. It couldn’t be. It was from his mother. Her handwriting was unmistakable.
“Hey, thanks for bringing this over. I gotta tell Meaghan okay? I’ll talk to you later.”
“Sure thing. My boss said you can start tomorrow or next week. Whenever you want, just call him to let him or the garage manager know. See you later, bud.”
Chase let Jose out and locked the door. He was shell-shocked. He walked slowly to Meaghan’s bedroom, hands trembling, unable to think or react. He crawled into bed with her, and saw she had fallen asleep. He shook her on the shoulder.
“Meaghan. Wake up. Meaghan, look.”
“What, hun?” she turned to him and saw the envelope. “Who was that outside?”
“Jose. He got this from my—from our—he got this from Mom, Meg.”
“What? What do you mean, Chase? You’re not making sense.”
“Take it. See for yourself. I can’t look inside. You check. I can’t—” his voice trailed off.
Meaghan opened the envelope and her eyes almost popped out of her head. Inside, at the top, was a two-inch thick wad of hundred dollar bills. She pulled it out. It was so much money, she couldn’t imagine how much it could actually be. She held it in her hand the same way she had held the money from Aunt Jennifer. This wad was so much thicker, and it was all hundreds! She couldn’t believe it.
She set it between them on the bed, and looked in the envelope again. There were three sets of keys, and a folded note. She pulled out the note and unfolded it.
The note read…
To Chase West
Hello son,
I heard you were in town. I’m sorry I never came back for you, but we can catch up, as soon as you’re
ready.
This is some spare cash for you and Meaghan. How is she doing? I miss the two of you so much.
Chase, there’s so much more I can give you, including my love, when the time is right. I hope it’s not too late to make up for all my mistakes, son.
Love always,
Mom
PS. The keys are for two cars (you and Meaghan need to have something to get around in) and a bike (you always loved watching David’s bike next door, remember?). I’ll have the vehicles delivered, and they’ll be outside your place by tomorrow morning. I hope you like Harleys.
