“Well, well, well. Where have you been, Missy.” Nara asked, sitting back down.
“I was in Vegas working,” Tori said, giving the waiter her drink order. “I still can't believe how amazing the museum was. There were so many ideas I had for that museum.”
“Water for me,” Chase said, putting down the menu.
“You're still on that water kick,” Tori asked.
“Hell yeah. I swear I will never follow behind you again,” Chase said, shaking her head.
Chase, Nara and Tori decided to give Jessica, a ex-friend of theirs, a bachelorette party in Vegas. Chase decided to drink as many Royal Fuck's as Tori. Chase was trying to hang with the big dogs and paid for it dearly in the end. She had one hangover she'll never forget. Well, this was one trip she'll never forget, especially when Nara caught Jessica having sex with one of the strippers from Hunk Mansion, a popular strip club in Vegas, Nara made Jessica break off her engagement to Marc, Nara's brother.
“Back to my question, where have you been,” Nara asked, folding her arms.
Looking at both women, “What's this twenty questions. I was out of town,” Tori said, taking a sip of water.
Chase and Nara looked at one another.
“What?” Tori asked.
“Why are you being so evasive. You usually can't wait to tell us all the freaky shit you did,” Nara said, thanking the waiter.
“Why do y'all keep thinking, I was with a man.”
“I don't know, probably because of the text you sent me,” Chase said, scrolling through her phone. “Should I read his name and address.”
“No you don't have to do that,” Tori said, rolling her eyes.
“This is serious,” Nara asked.
“I don't know. I only spent a couple of days with him, but he's different. He doesn't take any of my shit, he puts me in my place when I get out of line, and I really like him. Shit,” Tori said, realizing that she did like him and missed him. “This shit is weird for me.”
Nara nodded her head, “I know how you feel. Remember I met Aaron in Vegas for a weekend,” Nara said, understanding.
“What do I do about liking this guy.”
“Tori, there's nothing you can do, but roll with it,” Chase said.
“And don't try no dumb shit, like starting a argument or something crazy, so he'll get piss and end it with you. I know you Tori,” Nara said, pointing to her.
“If this guy is on the up and up why would you do something to destroy it,” Chase asked.
“I don't know. It's just new to me. I usually toss them away when I'm done with them. Now I find myself wanting to be with him, instead of tossing him. Does that make sense,” Tori asked, looking to the both of them.
“Yeah.”
“Absolutely.”
“Enough about me. What's going on with you guys,” Tori asked, looking at the menu for something to eat.
“Well Aaron and I are still seeing one another. We gave each other a break last week so he could spend time with his friend Greg,” Nara said, looking at the menu as well.
Tori's head popped up. “Greg?”
“Yeah, Greg lives in Vegas and owns a strip joint,” Nara said, making a decision about what she wanted to eat.
Oh God. Aaron and Greg were friends. Tori thought back to when Greg told her he was an air marshal. The same as Aaron. No wonder he was on the same plane as her when she went out to Vegas. He was here visiting Aaron. She was meditating on whether to tell Nara, she was seeing Aaron's friend Greg, but thought better of it. If things didn't work out with her and Greg, then Nara and Aaron would feel uncomfortable talking about him when she was around. She didn't want to put either one of them in that type of predicament.
“Well I have news you might not know about. Marc and I are seeing one another,” Chase said, smiling.
Tori looked over at her, “It's about time. I was wondering if you were going to let that hoe marry him,” Tori said, sipping her drink.
“Wait a minute. You knew how I felt about Marc also,” Chase asked shocked.
“Duh. I'll be blind to not know. I saw the way you looked at him every time he was around.”
Nara nodded her head, “Sweetie, you're definitely not a good poker player,” Nara said.
“Poker? She's horrible at spades, monopoly—.”
“Okay, I get it,” Chase said to the both of them.
“But you're a good fighter,” Nara said, laughing.
Chase rolled her eyes.
Tori's head popped up again, “Fighter? What fight?”
“Jessica and Chase,” Nara said, nodding her head.
“I want every detail and leave nothing out,” Tori said, sitting back to listen.
Chapter 4
Tori received her plane ticket from her new secretary. She had a hour before she had to be at the airport. She was going to surprise Greg for the weekend. He had no idea she was on her way back to Vegas. She was amazed at how fast her feelings progressed for him.
Tori's new secretary buzzed to let her know a cab was waiting to take her to Reagan National.
Tori blew out a breath. She didn't have her friends or Greg this time to make this plane ride easier this time.
When she was on the plane, she looked at the old woman next to her. Tori felt as if she should be holding her hand. She looked just as nervous as Tori felt.
When the plane roared to life, Tori stuck her earphones into her phone to listen to music. She closed her eyes, letting the music become a diversion.
Tori took a cab from the airport straight to the club. She knew Greg would be there making sure it was running smoothly.
“Hey, don't I know you,” the bartender asked.
Tori smiled, “Hey Chris. How are you?”
“Great, now that you're here,” Chris winked.
Tori laughed. “Is your boss here,” Tori asked, looking around.
“Yeah. In the back,” Chris said, cleaning the drinking glasses.
“Thanks,” Tori said, leaving the bar, going to the back.
Tori knocked before peeking into Greg's office.
“Hey, you,” Greg said, getting up from his desk. “Why didn't you tell me you were coming back out here. I would've met you at the airport,” Greg said, giving her a hug before claiming her lips.
After Greg laid a whooper of a kiss on her it took Tori a minute for her to catch her breath.
Smiling, “I wanted to surprise you, besides you're working, I didn't want to bother you.”
“You could never bother me beautiful,” Greg said, giving her another peck before going to his desk.
“What are you doing.”
“Getting ready to leave. I'll have Trent run the club tonight. I want to get you home. I haven't seen you in a week.”
“So you're saying you miss me,” Tori smiled.
“When we get home, I'm going to show you how much I've missed you,” Greg said, grabbing his keys.
“Promises, promises,” Tori said as they left his office.
* * *
They couldn't enter his house fast enough before Greg was all over her.
“Aren't you going to offer me something to eat. Something to drink,” Tori asked, in between kisses.
“Later. Right now I need you,” Greg said, unzipping her dress.
When the dress fell to the floor, Greg took a step back.
Tori had just a thong on.
Greg bent down, flicking a nipple with his tongue. He licked around her nipple before wrapping his lips around it and sucking it.
Tori placed her hands on his head, holding him in place.
“Baby, I've missed you so much,” Greg said, looking up at her as he flicked each nipple with his tongue.
“I've missed you too,” Tori said, bringing his head up for a kiss.
“How much?”
“Let me show you,” Tori said, unbuckling his pants belt. She slowly lowered his zipper, pushing his pants and briefs down. She went down to her knees, grabbing ahold of his dic
k. Her mouth was about to get a workout with this twelve inch dick.
She looked up at him, sticking her tongue out. She licked the head of his penis before licking the entire dick. She lifted up his dick to lick his balls. She tea bagged them before licking her way back to the head of his dick. She wrapped her mouth around his dick, letting him go as deep as her mouth would allow. She slowly moved her mouth up and down his dick as if she was making love to it.
“Oh damn,” Greg said, palming her head. He looked down and watched her move her mouth up and down his dick.
She let his dick pop out of her mouth, as she licked all around it again.
“Baby, you keep doing that you're going to make me cum,” Greg said, helping her up.
He lifted Tori up in his arms, with her legs straddled around him. He turned around placing her back against the wall. He positioned his dick to the entry of her pussy.
“I'm going to show you how much I missed you,” he said, slowly, working his dick in. He moved slowly until he was all the way in. He pumped his dick in and out of her, letting her wetness coat every inch of his dick.
“Ohhhhh, Greg,” Tori moaned. “You feel so good.”
“No, baby, you feel good,” he said, going deeper, faster.
Tori grabbed his head, thrusting her tongue in his mouth. She held him tight, as she sucked on his tongue, bouncing her pussy all over his dick.
“Grrreeegg,” Tori moaned, meeting each hard thrust with one of her own.
Greg stopped thrusting and carried her to the living room where he sat down on the couch. “Show me how much you've missed me,” he said, arms around her waist.
“Oh I will,” Tori said, positioning her legs better on the seat cushions. She started off with a slow grind before bouncing on his dick. He pulled her head to his for a kiss, while she continued to bounce.
“Feels good don't it,” Tori said, grinding on him. “Say it feels good,” Tori bounced.
“Shit. It feels so good, you're going to make me cum,” Greg said, pumping up into her.
“Oh my God. Oh my God,” Tori chanted. “I'm going to cum,” Tori said, as he helped her bounce faster on his dick.
“Baby! Oh shit,” Greg groaned.
They came simultaneously. He laid back with her head on his chest as they tried to regain their breath.
A hour later, Greg was rubbing his hands down Tori's back.
“Are you staying the weekend?”
“Yeah. Why? Tired of me already,” Tori asked, smiling.
“Never,” he said, hugging her tighter. “But I am wondering how much longer you're going to be able to do this.”
Tori looked up at him, “Do what?”
“Commute back and forth on a plane. You're petrified of flying on airplanes,” Greg said, laughing.
“I'm not petrified. I'm just a little nervous.”
“Tori, come on. You hate flying on planes.”
“Okay, so I hate flying in airplanes, but how else are we going to see each other,” she said, raising up on one elbow.
“How about you moving out here,” Greg said, gazing into Tori's eyes.
“What are you talking about,” Tori said, getting up. “We just met.”
“Yeah we just met and look at us. Look how much we've missed each other.”
“That's because we're still lusting after each other,” Tori said, searching around the floor for her dress to put back on.
“We're a little old to be having a long distance relationship. Why don't you move out here,” Greg said, getting up from the couch, putting his briefs back on.
“Why do I have to move? Why can't you move to DC?”
“My home is here, so is my career.”
“Excuse me but what do you think I left. I have a home and job in DC, but I still came out here to see you,” Tori said, hands outstretched.
“Tori, we can't be together if I'm here and you're there. You said you loved the museums here. Why can't you find a job here, besides I want to see you more than just weekends.”
“I want to see you also, but you're asking me to leave everything and come out here for a man I just met.” She felt bad for putting the hurt look on Greg's face. When she came out here she wasn't expecting him to say the things he'd said, or for her to feel this way about him.
“This is more than a one night stand to me. If all you wanted was a one night stand, then you should have stayed home. I want you more than just weekends,” he said, looking at her.
“Why do you have to ruin it? Why can't we see each other until we get tired.”
Hurting inside, “That's the thing. I know I won't get tired of you,” Greg said, turning around to leave the room.
Tori picked up her dress and thong, and went into the bathroom.
She got dressed, finding her carry-on bag by the front door.
She was pissed. How dare he suggest she move out here. Who the hell did he think he was anyway? Why did she have to give up her life in DC to move out here for some man she didn't know? He had a lot of nerve. It's just like a man to ask the woman to give up her career so she could support him in his. She was out of here. If he didn't want a long distance relationship with her, she'll find a man who did.
Tori picked up her bag, closing the front door behind her. She found a cab to take her to the airport. Tori had to wait until they called her flight number.
She sat there going over their argument. How could something start off so good, turn into something so bad? A couple of hours ago Greg and her were happy.
She thought about Nara and their last conversation.
“And don't try no dumb shit, like starting a argument or something crazy so he'll get piss and end it with you.”
Tori looked around the airport. That was her M.O when she couldn't handle a relationship. She found a way to end it. This time it hurt, because she really cared for Greg. He was supportive, caring, funny and she could tell he really cared about her.
Tori wiped the tears from her eyes. What the hell was she supposed to do now?
“Good afternoon passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for flight 89B to Washington DC. We are now inviting those passengers with small children, and any passengers requiring special assistance, to begin boarding at this time. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready. Regular boarding will begin in approximately ten minutes time. Thank you.”
Tori got up with the ticket in her hand to board her flight.
Greg sat in front of the television watching nothing. The movie was playing but he couldn't focus on it. He heard Tori when she left. A part of him wanted to go after her and try to make a long distance relationship work, but he knew they didn't.
“Been there and done that,” he said to himself.
He got up to get a beer when he heard the doorbell chime. He didn't know who that could be. He wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone's problems right now.
He went to the door, yanking it open.
“I came back.”
“I see that. Why?” He asked, standing there.
“Because I want the same things as you. I want this to work.”
“Are you willing to put in the time and effort?”
“I'm here aren't I.”
He pulled her in the house. “I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but we'll work on it together,” he said, hugging her.
Pulling back, “You have to understand, the longest relationship I've ever been in lasted a month. Where are we going to be in a month,” she asked, staring into his eyes.
“Together,” he said, closing the door behind them.
* * *
Tori couldn't believe she was late again. She was rushing to meet Chase and Nara for dinner.
Tori gave their party name to the hostess. She followed the woman until she saw her best friends chit chatting at the table.
“Sorry I'm late,” Tori said, giving each woman a hug and a cheek kiss.
“You're always late Tori,” Nara said, smiling.
&
nbsp; “My plane was late,” Tori said, ordering a drink.
“What plane? Where are you coming from now,” Chase asked.
“Vegas.”
“Ah. I knew it was a man. Working? Working my ass,” Chase said, smiling.
“Actually it's more than that,” Tori said, picking up the menu.
Leaning forward, “How much more,” Nara asked, raising her eyebrows.
“Greg and I—,” Tori started to say.
“Greg? Greg who?”
“Aaron's friend Greg?,” Tori started to say.
“Aaron's friend Greg in Vegas,” Nara asked, looking at Chase before turning back to Tori.
“Yeah. He and I met on the plane that week he was here visiting Aaron. Unbeknownst to me, I didn't know who he was at the time.”
“Wait a minute,” Nara said, shaking the fuzz from her head. “You're dating Aaron's friend Greg?”
“Actually it's more than that,” Tori said, looking at the menu again.
“Tori, how much more,” Chase asked, frowning.
“Yeah, how much more,” Nara asked, frowning also.
Tori put down the menu and smiled at her best friends, “I'm married.”
“Oh my God.”
“Have you lost your last good mind,” Nara asked.
They sat there staring at Tori.
Shaking her head, “No. Ladies I'm in love,” Tori said, smiling.
Epilogue
Nara, Chase and Tori sat on the patio in Nara's backyard. Aaron, Marc and Greg were over by the grill smoking cigars. Music by Luther Vandross and Phyllis Hyman was filtering out the house to the backyard.
Shaking her head, “God Tori, I still can't believe you're married,” Chase said, looking over to her.
“I know,” Tori said looking at Chase before turning her eyes to her husband. “It's been five months and I'm still pinching myself. Who knew,” Tori said, facing her best friends.
“Yeah, who knew,” Nara said, laughing. “How's Vegas going?”
“Good. Hot as shit, but I love my new job at the museum and Greg is extremely supportive.”
“Who would have thought a weekend in Vegas could change our lives so quickly,” Nara asked, looking to Chase and Tori.
