“Now Janet, I would love it if you would leave by your own steam though thinking about it, I’d really enjoy throwing you out, just for what you and Simple Simon did to him, but running from you was the best thing he ever did, he got better at what he did and found me, fate made you a prostitute and made me the winner, you see I got the prize one you threw away and used, that was the worst mistake you ever made, but thank you. That’s the only reason you, aren’t heading to hospital in an ambulance right now, because he’s happy, loved and here with me and not being miserable with a cold hearted old bitch like you. So those threats I made to fuck you over still stands, you come near me or Sam again and you won’t be able to fuck anything from a hospital bed!” She stopped smiling.
“Oh and as to the ring, the one she has on is the temporary one, until my jeweller made this one for me and wow it’s as special as she is.” He pulled a ring box out of his pocket. “Michelle is getting this tonight at a family dinner, celebrating our engagement. The best part of me having money is that this is a drop in the ocean to what I intend showering my baby in. What’s ten grand in the scheme of things?
How many fucks do you have to give to those dirty old men coming from your hotel to just pay the rent, from what I hear you’re not that good anymore fucked up and washed up I heard them say and your even struggling to give it away, let alone get people to watch you having sex, the show must be fucking as boring as the sex we had, mind numbingly boring.
If meeting you last week told me anything, it was that I’d had a narrow escape and have definitely traded up, not down! Why the hell you thought I’d marry you I don’t know? Even I’m not stupid enough to saddle myself with an old woman like you, even Simon has a new interest at Andy’s new club, he’s quite the trim young thing too, he’s a tad younger than him, and yes I said him...” I smiled at Sam and kissed him again.
“Now as I said Janet last time there’s the door use it, before I throw you through it.” She said nothing and left, I think the final blow was that Simple Simon was in fact swinging both ways… I felt great at last about him and picture girl.
“How did you know about Simple Simon?”
“Andy told me he is a new member of Club Noir, and though he didn’t want to let him in he wanted to know if Janet was up to something! He was quite surprised to see him in with his lover and it wasn’t Janet, but a young boy called Kyle!”
“I would say poor Janet being used like that, but hey she got a dose of Karma! What a day you’ve had, all your ghosts gone and in one afternoon. What are the odds in that happening, who told her we were here?” I looked at him.
“Her best friend saw me waiting outside the bakery for you. Why she came though I really don’t know?” I smiled.
“To get you back baby and to get you and your money back. Two things, we go at it all day and night and please explain the ring too? Ten grand are you joking, I would be afraid to wear something that expensive.”
“No, it’s not what you think they are Mum’s she wants them cleaning. Aunties had them forever, she stored all her jewellery with her to keep it from him, and it’s in the bank. Janet is a monetary person you’re right on that Missy, whilst you’d make do with the ring on your finger. That’s what I love about you, you don’t have to have the biggest and best of everything, even though I can afford it, you don’t want it and I aim to be at it all day and night when we do, shit I could do the things we have already done, all day and night with you Missy.” Thank God, he was learning at last. “We can go and get you whichever one you want, whenever you want.” I smiled.
“I like this one thank you Sam. It means everything I need it to but thanks for the offer, besides knowing you this wasn’t cheap either.” He smiled and nodded as Andy came bounding in.
“You two are turning into proper pissheads, afternoon drinking really you pair of alcoholics you, I have just seen a very angry Janet cursing a young gold digger and a fucked up man whore, would she have been talking about my two favourite alcoholics by any chance?” I went to the loo laughing at me being a gold digger.
“I’m on coke Andy… Tell him what you’ve managed in one afternoon Adrian.” I laughed as I disappeared when I got back and they were deep in conversation, laughing at my vagina comment.
“Give me the rings and I’ll take them to be cleaned.” He passed them to me and I left them to it, deep in conversation about solicitor stuff. I went to the jewellers and gave the woman who served me the rings.
“Can I possibly get these cleaned?” I gave her the boxes and she looked at them.
“Beautiful these are expensive rings, they’re antique and Victorian, these are so nice are they yours? You are very lucky girl if they are. I can have these ready for you Monday.” I looked at the rings they were very pretty, but I still loved mine.
“That’s fine thank you, no they’re my mothers, and yes I agree they are quite pretty.” She took Sam's name and address and gave me a receipt for the three rings all were as pretty as the next. I walked back towards the pub and shit Dennis was following me. He didn’t know I had seen him, so I kept calm and walked slowly; he was following me so I went into my old work place.
“Debby, can you see the man by the bookstore? He’s following me can I use the phone please?” She looked out the window and pretended to get something from a shelf.
“Yes, it’s through the back Michelle, you can use it that’s not a problem.” I thanked her. I picked up the yellow pages looked for The Frog in’t Mud and found the number and rang the number.
“Hello Frog, how can I help you?” I spoke, if I wasn’t so angry with Dennis, I would have made a joke about not being a frog!
“Do you see Sam and Andy Todd by the corner?” Fingers crossed.
“Yes they are still here.” I took a deep breath.
“Can you call Andy to the phone please, it's an emergency.” I heard his name called out, and then he answered.
“Yes, Andy speaking and you are?” The relief I felt on hearing his voice.
“Andy it’s me Michelle, get Sam and bring him around to where I used to work please, your dad’s following me.” The line went dead and I waited.
“Thanks Debby my fellas on his way, though this could all go wrong. He’s a lunatic he’s been bloody warned to stay away too he’s breaking a serious restraining order just being there.” I walked out of the bakery I could see the pair of them.
“They are here Debby, thank you.” He was still watching me. I walked away from the boys and he followed me and so did not see them, he suddenly rushed towards me and I turned, quickly and steadily and unfortunately for Mr Todd, he landed on his backside, now, complete with a very nasty swelling to his nether region. Yet another win number for self-defence classes.
“That you dirty old drunken pervert is what I promised you if you ever came for me and this,” as I landed another kick to his already sore area, when he grabbed my ankle, “this is for what you did to Sam and when my father he sees you, you’re dead. I know you saw him; he was on his way to Emma’s house to get you. You’re on fucking borrowed time old man!” The lads were beside me and a crowd had gathered around, the men OH-ED, as they felt the kick to his man area, they were keeping him from me. Andy held me back and away from his father.
“Are you all right Michelle, did he touch you?” Sam was smiling, as he lent into his father.
“You have just made the biggest mistake of your life Dennis.” He went in his pocket and removed the keys from his dad’s pockets. “You now need somewhere to live, another source for your drinking money and you better run, her Dad’s been told what you did to her and he’s gunning for you, with the famous right and left hook and organising your fall as we speak.” Debby had called the police as soon as I left, bless her. He and I were now asked questions.
“What happened to you Miss?” I explained I’d been to the jewellers and had spotted him following me. Telling them he had threatened me earlier in the afternoon, in front of witnesses in the Night Owl, all a
bout his threats to sort me out when he next saw me, how I’d phoned for assistance from his two sons. He listened as I told him the sorry tale.
“I was in fear of what he would do. When he lunged at me and I struck my leg and foot, into his privates to stop him attacking me. He grabbed my leg and I had the need to force a second blow to gain my release. I had no other choice, but to use the self-defence moves taught me in my police defence classes.”
He totally agreed with me, I'd kept my cool and didn’t lose the plot. Dennis looked like a drunken foul-mouthed idiot, which he was. With plenty of Stockton finest here he was still threatening to kill me, a proper result. Dad would be able to find him too, it helped because Sam had added me to the restraining order too, it seems he may have broken it coming within a hundred feet of me, my foot had actually made contact, twice I laughed he’d come within two feet of me actually, I’m in shock I think?
All he did was shout that I was a bitch, and would get what was coming to me. The police took him away I think they believed me, above the drunken screaming abuse from Dennis. I went in to thank Debby for her help. When he sobers up in the police cell, he may think again. I will leave it to the family to see what they want. We left to go collect my bags and Sam’s they had left at the bar. That done we got in a taxi, back to Aunties.
“As it turns out, I didn’t need your help I didn’t know if I could sort him on my own, but Sam you didn’t stop in the corner, you came running.” He looked at me and smiled.
“I did, damn girl you’re good at this sorting stuff out lark, bet his bollocks are sore, that kick made the fellas in the crowd grab theirs.” Andy nearly wet himself laughing, I laughed at the smiles on their faces.
“He must have been following us all the time. When I came out of the jewellers, I just happened to spot him in the refection in the window. I went to see Debby and phoned you two I didn’t know if you were coming the line went dead.” Andy blushed.
“Sorry our kid I dropped the phone. I grabbed him and told him you were in trouble at your work, and he bloody ran like the clappers.” I had two pairs of strong arms wrapped around me.
“Thank you both, I will let him sleep it off and if you want drop the charges.” They both laughed.
“Let him rot, let’s not tell Mum about this let her enjoy the meal, and her weekend?” I gave Sam the receipts, for the rings before I forgot. We arrived back at Aunties, so the lads could dress for dinner. Sam arranged for the pick up at eight he was in such a good mood, they all were. Aunty was in particular good form when we arrived. So many people’s lives were messed by that foul man.
Andy had ordered bottles of a really nice Chardonnay and a Cabernet Sauvignon to have with dessert he asked me what I liked as he phoned the order through earlier. He was a little impressed that I knew my wines, derrr what did he think I did at college? Sam too was in good form, and looked damn fine in his new clothes, but he looked damn fine out of them too. Getting there, he helped Emma and Aunty to their seats, before returning to pull out my chair and kissing my neck as I sat. Taking his seat next to me.
“You look really nice by the way, I can’t remember if I told you that already, my baby is stunning.” His hand was running up and down my back, each slow pass sending shivers down my spine.
“You did thank you and that you love me, I like the dresses you picked too, thank you, I’d say you look good too, but three waitresses are watching you with their tongues out, so I guess you know you look good?”
“The only person I am focusing on is my wonderful fiancé and she needs to calm down, I didn’t moan when the waiter who served the wine at the table nearly chocked on his pen when you walked in, a friend of yours?”
“Ha, he wishes, that’s Smarmy Simon, wine waiter my arse he wouldn’t know champagne from cava! Yes he fancies everything with a pulse and no I’m not a fan angel!”
“Good to hear and in case you haven’t sussed yet I love you!” I smiled as Sam shooed away Smarmy Simon and he poured me and Aunty our wine, and watched me as I sipped the wonderful wine in my glass, this was a wine to be drunk slowly and savoured. Zoe was quite at the end of the table and drinking mineral water and looking at Sam and I together, Andy hasn’t said two words to her all the time we have been here and Teddy pulled out her chair too.
Pull your finger out Andrew, umm eyes down girl a few more of these and we will be having more words, Andy is chatting happily to Teddy and Kim, Jimmy looks red, his cheeks are being squeezed by Aunty and she’s patting his head, he’s sat between Aunty and mum as they are fussing over him, he’s so cute when he’s embarrassed. I look around at the girls as they wait on their tables and as I watch them, they too look away and blush, because Sam is being attentive and mushy, got to love a mush from my fella.
“Is that nice Michelle, you look like you’re enjoying it?”
“Umm it’s really good, thank you. What you drinking, larger with the secret double whiskey chaser, I may take you up on the offer if you get drunk tonight Todd?” He laughed.
“No just larger, I learnt my lesson thank you Mi cielo, and no tomorrow is fine baby I can’t wait to be in here.” His finger was stroking the newly waxed strip of hair guarding my sex, the lady garden had undergone some drastic trimming, and I swear I am never waxing it again because it hurt.
“Umm, this feels smooth, have you done something different?”
“Yes I waxed and I’m never doing it again, that was something I am only doing the once it hurt and may be wonky!” He laughed.
“I will check it later, it feels different can you get any wetter baby!”
“Possibly, but I don’t want to find out at the dinner table next to your Aunt Allison, so quit it now!”
“What are you two muttering about, it’s rude to whisper!” Andy was grinning; he knew damn well it would be smutty.
“I’m sure the whole table doesn’t want to hear about my period pains Andrew!” He blushed and the rest of them laughed, Sam nearly chocked on his pint.
“Sorry no you’re right I, I, I am so sorry whisper away.”
“All finished now, we were just going to discuss leg waxing, I fancy doing Sam’s hairy legs, can I try on yours first before I inflict pain on my beloved. Andy go on be a sport?”
“No, you bloody well can’t try Jimmy’s he’s hairier than a gorilla!” Jimmy laughed too.
“Nope thanks Kimmy tried it once and got a foot to her mouth as she pulled the bloody paper thing off, remember Kim?”
“Umm and he had four more to rip off. So Teddy sat on him as I ripped them off! Funny thing is he only had one leg done!”
“I remember that. He looked so stupid at football practice, all your handy work then?” They all laughed and Jimmy blushed.
“Andy can I have a glass of white please this waters, not dulling the pain much!”
“Oh, are you not well Zoë dear?” Aunty looked at her in concern.
“No I feel a little sick to my stomach.” Andy gave her a look, fuck they were falling out again, perhaps he took my chat to heart and he can’t love her like she needs to be loved? She needs a swift kick up the backside lusting after my fella though. He passed her the bottle.
“Sure here you are, help yourself babe!” Opps frosty reception I can feel the cold chill down here. Sam noticed too and rubbed my thigh and smiled.
Aunty refilled my glass as that too seemed to disappear quickly. We ate we talked and better still laughed and joked. The courses of food came and the wine flowed, Aunty and I chatted, Sam just sat and listened. By the time the desserts were being ordered, I’d had quite a lot of nice wine and was feeling erg, well just a little bit naughty, not helped by Sam constantly stroking my thigh, and really doing a number on my sex with his damned finger, it was throbbing uncontrollably and wow I was so ready to jump him here and now in front of his whole family.
“I need the toilet Sam, fancy joining me?” He was smiling like a fool. I excused myself from the table and walked gracefully to the toilets, on my way to th
e toilet I’m joined by Sam holding me tightly and as we pass an alcove I shoved him against the wall and we hid behind the heavily draped area, it was his fault I was so frisky, he’d had me hot and bothered, all night. Let the making out begin.
“Michelle, you’re randy as hell, when you drink baby, you and drinking are a no go baby.” I was on the receiving end of one of first contact kisses.
“All this is your damn fault you have been doing rude things all bloody through the meal so it’s your fault angel, all your fault. When are you going to take me Sam? I really, really want you to fuck me and now would be a good time.” He smiled licking his lips and coming in for another knee trembling kiss. I gasped as he pulled away from my lips and smiled damn he could kiss, wonder how he fucks, half of Stockton knows and I wanna know too, oops good job that was in my head he may be angry at me and my drunken rants?
“You’re going to have to tell me what you want Mi cielo, I’m not sure what you want me to do? I like to please you. This is mine, all mine, no one else’s, I’m going to make love to you not fuck you, well not the first time anyway.” He had his hand up my dress and he thumbed my sex, damn it felt nice.
The shivers shot like a chilled wind throughout my body, my head light and the gasp as he thumbed the sensitive nub with his thumb over and over, saying it was his just his, yes just his, only his. Umm so nice, I quivered at his touch, as I held his gaze with mine, his breathing deep and almost panting, not helped by me slowly unzipping him. I held on to him and shivered at his touch whimpering under the constant flick of his finger over the same damn spot wow and ouch and oh boy I’m coming. I collected myself swiftly together as I began pumping my wayward fiancé, damn he was hard and as I did he moved me further into the alcove wow he was so near, so damn hard and so near.
“I believe my first time could hurt, so you are going to have to go slow and easy. I want you to savour every minute, starting with kisses on my feet continuing those kisses, I want you to gently work your way up my leg, kissing here at the top of my leg at your favourite place, and then with your tongue I want you to make me come and hard, taking your time, because I want to savour it and enjoy ever thing you do before this,” I held his dick harder in my hand, so hard in fact he squealed. “goes anywhere near you’re favourite place, I want you to make me so wet you can hear me, so it slides in and doesn’t hurt as much, then to distract me as you take my gift, I want you to kiss me as if you’re never going to see me again.” I continued to work his length, slowly.
