My Best Friend

by L. . M. Sousa

  She continues to suck the entire ten inches, I feel myself touch the back of her throat. After a few minutes, I pull out. I don’t want to come down her throat. I grab a condom that was in the drawer in the side table. I hope they aren’t expired, I haven’t bought rubbers in a long time.

  I put it on as she is laying down on the sofa and pinching and squeezing her breasts. She’s pulling on them and closing her eyes in pleasure. I lay down on top of her, one knee on the sofa and put my weight on my left hand. I put my fingers in her, spreading her to take my cock. She’s soaking wet so I grab myself and slide in. She lets out a moan, her hands are on the back of my neck as I start to pump into her slow. After a while there’s no resistance so I pick up the pace.

  I close my eyes while I’m lost in pleasure, I picture Tori. The first time we made love. I still remember her taste and the way her tight pussy felt around me. I was close, I opened my eyes and saw that it wasn’t Tori, I lose the high. I close my eyes again and picture Tori or I wouldn’t be able to come.

  “Open your eyes, I want to see you.” She moans. I fuck her harder making her scream in pleasure. I, however don’t open my eyes. I haven’t been able to come if I don’t think about Tori. It’s like my cock is cursed.

  The pleasure continues to buildup, a few more thrusts and I come. Roaring out with the last of my orgasm. My breathing slows down and I pull out and remove the condom to throw it in the trash.

  Hannah is smiling on the couch, she hasn’t moved a muscle. “Oh God, you’re amazing.”

  I put on my pants and shirt, I leave my shirt unbuttoned. “Thanks, do you need cab fare or something?” I dress quickly so I could get rid of this girl.

  The smile from her face disappears and she sees me getting dressed and ready to leave. “What’s the hurry? I thought we could have an encore performance.” She uses a sultry voice probably thinking that it would change my mind about leaving. This broad doesn’t know me apparently.

  “Not happening, doll. I can pay for a cab or you can leave and go back downstairs. I don’t care either way, but you’re not spending the night.”

  I know I sound like an asshole but I don’t care. I walk over to the mini bar in the corner and pour myself a shot of Whiskey. I drink it all in one gulp and pour myself another shot. I want to drown these feelings away, I knew that if I didn’t drink, I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep. I try not to use the prescription sleeping pills my doctor gave me. Those things are addictive and after everything that happened with my father I prefer to stay away from them.

  I hear her putting her clothes on behind me, “Could you at least zip me up?” She asks me. I look at her and roll my eyes. I put my drink down and walk over to her, I motion for her to turn around, she does slowly and moves her hair out of the way. I zip her up and suddenly she turns and kisses me. I back away but she’s hanging on from the back of my neck. I pull at her arms so she would let go, but she locks her fingers together behind my neck. “Why do you want me to go so bad? I thought you liked what we just did.”

  “I did like what we did, but I thought you understood that it’s a one-time deal. I don’t do seconds. It’s the way I work, sorry.” I just watch her look at me in fury, eventually she gathers her panties which were thrown on the floor and her purse.

  She walks up to the door and opens it, turns around and says “By the way, you weren’t that amazing. It was just in the moment type of comment.”

  “Get out.” I finally say irritated.

  “You’re an asshole.” She closes the door behind her. I thought she would never leave.

  I sit on the couch and my head back and close my eyes. I have all these thoughts and emotions in my head that I try to keep buried, but I feel empty and tired of living like this.

  I know that I’m probably going through depression, my dad went through it so I know what the warning signs are.

  I don’t usually pick up strange women at bars, I usually have acquaintances like Libby to fill that void temporarily.

  I can’t keep living this way, I have all the money in the world, two homes and am the CEO of an internationally known company. But everything is meaningless if I don’t have anyone to share my success with. A lone tear goes down my face. I close my eyes and my world suddenly becomes dark.

  CHAPTER EIGHT

  Present Day…

  Victoria

  Alex was livid, he called the security team. I could hear him yelling at all of them about letting Libby into the house and how no one noticed her go upstairs or even entering the property. I heard them saying that she was a frequent visitor and over night guest so they didn’t think anything of it. I didn’t want to hear anymore, so I just sat in Adam’s room while he worked on his spelling homework.

  Alex came in the room after a few minutes, he looked beat “I got a cleaning crew to come soon and clean up your room. I’m so sorry Tori, this should have never happened.” He walks up to Adam at the desk and kisses his head, “Hey buddy.”

  Alex doesn’t look up, he just says “Hey dad.”

  Alex looks at me confused and I shake my head, “When he’s doing his spelling he’s 100 percent focused and doesn’t like distractions.” He smiles at that.

  I look down at my feet, I don’t want him to see hurt and fear I had about Libby having access to my personal property. I don’t think I had anything missing, not that I had a lot of items but the fact that she trashed everything was hurtful and frightening. She cut up all my underwear, had taken out all the dresses that Alex had bought that hung in the closet and poured a liquid, which I think was bleach, all over them. She was nuts and I didn’t want her near my son and it’s unfortunate that Alex keeps that kind of company around him.

  “Don’t apologize, it’s not your fault. We know how she was back then in school. She never liked me and she’s probably thinking that I’m moving in on her territory.”

  He sits beside me on the bed and whispers so Adam couldn’t hear, “Baby, I know it looks bad. I kept in touch with her because her father and I have some business deals together. She was always a familiar face and occasionally I would sleep with her. It’s not my proudest moment, but I would sometimes think of what you and I had and I just needed a distraction before I became even more depressed. She does have her faults but I always overlooked them because that is just something that I got used to and dealt with.”

  I nod and look at him, I grab his hand and kiss his knuckles, “I don’t fault you for that. It’s ok, I promise. I just wanted to go to sleep, it’s been a long day.”

  He kisses my forehead and stands up and does the same to our son. “Why don’t you take my room and I’ll wait until the cleaning crew is done?”

  I shake my head, “That’s ok, I will wait. I was going to take a long bath though in Adam’s tub though.”

  He nods, “I have to talk to some people. I will let you know when they are done cleaning.” He leaves the room.

  “Dad seems tired.” Adam says while writing out his spelling words.

  “Yeah he is sweetheart. He’s always working or dealing with things concerning his company.”

  “I hope that I can be like him when I grow up.”

  I smile at that, “I hope you are too. You have to work hard and never give up on your dreams.”

  I go into Adam’s bathroom which continues the navy-blue theme from his bedroom. I strip all my clothes and fill the tub with scalding hot water. There is a children’s berry bubble bath that will have to do because my things are in my room.

  I soak in the gigantic bath tub and try to relax, I end up thinking about how my life has changed in the past few weeks. I was about to fall asleep when I hear him calling for me, “Tori?”

  I open my eyes and see Alex staring at me, “What?”

  He has a worried look on his face, “It’s two a.m. I thought something had happened.”

  “Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize it was that late. I think I fell asleep without realizing.” I get out not bothering trying to cover myself
, he’s seen it all before. He hands me a fluffy blue towel that he got out of the vanity, I grab it and wrap myself with the fleecy fabric. He’s gaze is heated and it takes all I have not to drop the towel and kiss him.

  I leave Adam’s bathroom and I see him on the bed asleep. “I hope you don’t mind, I tucked him in and read him a book.” Alex whispers to me as we head into the hallway and close the door behind us.

  “How long have I been in the tub? I didn’t realize how tired I actually was.” I say. We walk to my bedroom and I look in and everything is clean. It smells like lemon pine sol. My bed looks so inviting right now. We say our good nights and I get under the covers and fall asleep.

  *****

  I hear pounding, I don’t know where it’s coming from. “Mom! Wake up!” My eyes open, I forget where I am. After a few seconds I realize that I’m at Alex’s house. My head is throbbing, did I drink too much last night?

  Adam is still banging on the door, “Mom, open the door! It’s lunch time!”

  Lunch? I look over at the clock and it says 1:23pm. Shit! I don’t remember the last time I got to sleep in until the afternoon. I jump out of bed, put on my silky robe and unlock the door. “Okay, okay. I’m up.” I take Adam’s face in my hands and kiss his forehead. “Good morning sweetie.” I pass him and walk down the hall, Adam right on my heels.

  “Mom, it’s not morning, it’s afternoon and you never sleep this late. Daddy said for me not to wake you up so we let you sleep.”

  “He did, did he?” We walk in the hallway and down the stairs towards the kitchen. We both walk in and see Alex already at the table eating and looking at a tablet. He doesn’t look up at first, “Someone likes her new bed.” He says without taking his eyes off the tablet.

  I sit and grab the spoon for the casserole that was placed in the center of the table. “It’s very comfy. I’ve never slept so good in a long time.”

  Adam is beside Alex and eating a hefty plate of the casserole.

  “Did you have any plans…” Alex looks up and stops talking. I look at him in confusion. His expression is heated.

  “What’s wrong?” I ask him. He’s staring at my chest, I look down and see that my robe is open on top and my nightie is visible.

  I cross my arms over my breasts. He grins and winks at me. I roll my eyes, “I’m not used to being around other adults in the morning.”

  Adam is oblivious to what is being said, his focus is on the tablet in front of him that Alex had got him yesterday.

  “Adam, sweetheart. Leave the tablet and eat your lunch. No electronics at the table, the rules don’t change because we moved.”

  Alex looks at Adam turning off the tablet and looks at me, I don’t say anything to him because he’s a grown man. He decides to give in as well and he turns off his tablet and continues to eat.

  It was a different feeling, having the three of us eating together. It will take some getting used to, but in a good way. As odd as it feels, having him around, I do feel good that Adam has his father in his life. I only wanted the best for Adam and that includes having Alex a part of his life.

  Adam starts talking to Alex about a new game that came out online, I wasn’t sure what he was talking about. I just looked at the both interact with each other. Alex is patient and attentive with him, important qualities to have as a parent.

  After we finish our lunch, I get up and start clearing the table, “What are you doing?” Alex is looking at me like I’m crazy.

  I look at the plates I’m holding then at him confused, “Umm, clearing the table.”

  He walks up to me slowly and takes from my hands and sets them back down on the table, “I employ five people to take care of these things. You don’t have to worry about cleaning up.”

  He grabs my waist and kisses the top of my head.

  “I don’t think I can get used to that. It feels weird having someone doing all the cooking and cleaning.”

  He whispers in my ear, “Thanks for the show during breakfast.” I blush, how embarrassing. He then turns and grabs his wallet from his back pocket and takes out a gold credit card and hands it to me, “Baby, go get yourself a nice dress and some shoes and whatever chicks usually get for formal parties.”

  I stare at the card, is he being serious right now? “I can’t take this, Alex. I might end up going to jail if they think I stole it or something.”

  Alex smiles at me, “Don’t worry about that. I’m going to add you as an authorized user. You can spend as much as you want.”

  “Alex this is crazy, I can’t.”

  “Please Tori, I make a lot of money. I can and will buy the both of you anything and everything. Take the card and go crazy. Adam and I are going to have a blast today while mommy’s out, right Adam?”

  “Right, dad!” Adam chimes in, not taking his eyes off the tablet.

  Exasperated, I finally agree. I put it in my pocket. “What is the usual dress codes for these types of things?”

  Alex sits back down at the kitchen table and powers up his tablet.

  “Something formal, maybe get something in bright red. I remember how smoking hot you used to look in it in high school”. I know that he’s joking because I hated bright colors. I was always in blacks and whites and sometimes grey.

  I make my way to Adam and kiss his head, “I’ll be home soon, sweetheart.” Where did you park my car?” I ask Alex. I completely forgot about it, I was getting used to be driven everywhere.

  “We parked it in the salvage yard. That thing was a death trap and wasn’t safe to be driven. I got you a BMW Sedan and it’s in your favorite color.”

  Please, God no. Not red. I pray to myself.

  He smiles menacingly but I can see a glint of humor in his eyes, “Black”.

  Thank God. “Okay, okay. But that’s it, I’m going to find a job and pay you back, eventually.”

  He nods his head and doesn’t say anything, I kiss his cheek but he grabs the side of my face and forces me to look at him. I kiss him on the lips, my mouth opens allowing his tongue to seek mine until I hear a gagging noise. “That’s gross. Get a room.” Adam calls out.

  Alex and I smile, “See you later”. I whisper to him and leave the kitchen.

  I head up the stairs and to my room to take a shower and get changed.

  *****

  After I was ready, I left the house. On the driveway, there was a shiny Black BMW. It looked beautiful and extremely expensive. I don’t know if I could drive something like this without constantly freaking up about someone scratching it or hitting it. The keys were already in the ignition, I guess he already had someone drive it here for me. I turn the key and it hardly makes an inaudible sound. My old car would make a loud screeching noise every time I turned on the ignition.

  I drive into the city and head over to a boutique that I could never have afforded to go before. Laila’s Boutique was known as an upscale and classy place. They served you champagne while you tried on their overpriced clothes. Well I don’t know from personal experience but that’s what I used to hear at the medical office when I worked there.

  I park on the street right in front of the boutique and locked my new car. At least, I think I did. It hardly made a beep when I pressed the lock button. I enter the boutique and am speechless, it looks like a museum. I hardly see any clothes displayed, do they even sell clothes in here?

  A bleach blonde short saleslady in a pixie cut appeared out of no where, “Hi, can I help you with anything?”

  “Uh, hi. Yes, I’m attending a formal dinner, I think it’s called a GALA tomorrow and I don’t know what to wear.”

  She looks at me up and down, then smiles. “I love working magic. Come with me.” She grabs my hand and pulls me into a dressing room.

  A few hours later, I’m in a puffy peach dress. It looks completely ridiculous. “How do you like that one darling?”

  The pixie cut girl, who I later found out is named Bella, called out in the dressing room. I look in the mirror. I look ridiculous, there�
��s no way I’m wearing this. “I don’t like this one, I yell out to her.

  I don’t hear anything back, I undress and when I’m about to open the dressing room door, fabric falls on top of me from over the door. “Try that one, that’s the one for sure!” I roll my eyes, can’t get any worse than the others.

  I try it on and look at the mirror. I absolutely love it! It reaches until my knees and the cleavage is a little too low for my taste but it makes my ass look smaller and my waist look tiny. It’s a black glittery sequence with a low back, I probably wouldn’t be able to use a bra. My girls are on full display though and practically touching my face with the built in bustier. I wonder if it will be appropriate for an upscale event.

  I decide to take it and Bella choose a pair of four-inch black stilettos. She says that it goes with the dress and will make my legs look a mile long. I agree with her decision because I know nothing about fashion.

  She rings up my purchase and the final total is two thousand and six hundred dollars. Oh my god, I practically faint in the store. I could buy a used car with that amount of money. “Maybe I should call Alex before I pay for it.” I tell Bella.

  She doesn’t bat an eye, she’s wrapping the dress in a garment bag and says, “Mr. Santos said that price wasn’t an issue.”

  Wait, when did she talk to him? “He called while you were trying on dresses.”

  I roll my eyes, of course he would. I give her the card and she swipes it and asks for a signature. All set, I’m about to grab the garment bag but Bella says, it will be delivered to your home in an hour. I nod, of course it would be delivered, I sarcastically think to myself. I wave Bella goodbye and leave the store.

  As I make my way to the car I look across the street at a lingerie shop, I decide to get something to make myself feel sexy. Maybe to show Alex too, something to say thank you.
