Until You

Mindy

Spending time with Tony was the best time of my life, the little vacation to the La Plata Mountains was even better. I was so in love with him, and I was falling even more in love. I couldn't wait until we moved into our place!

I drove home from work one evening and I saw a unfamiliar car in my uncle's driveway. The girlfriend must be visiting, I thought. I really wanted to meet her but I'd wait till tomorrow. Just as I shut the car door I heard a soft voice from behind me.

"Mindy?" I turned around and saw this beautiful lady. Boy Uncle Jerry! You really got one! I nodded. "I'm Deb, your uncle's girlfriend?" And she reached for my hand. I shook it.

"Yes! It's so great to finally meet you!" She was probably around my mothers age, but younger.

"I was taking a quick drag of my cigarette and I saw you pull in. I was anxious to meet you since your uncle speaks highly of you." My uncle and I were always close, he was like a second father, since he never had any children himself.

"I'm glad you made it down. I know he was so excited about it." I smiled.

"We will catch up. I'd like to hear more about you!" She was so sweet! Here was someone I could really connect with. I can't do that with my own mother these days.

I went inside the house and Tony was asleep. He woke as I came in.

"Hey sweetcakes, how was your day?" He was to go back to work in two days. I could tell he was ready.

"Busy, but bearable. How was yours?" I asked.

"It was okay, but I am definitely ready for work." He lifted his arms behind his head.

And I could understand that, I would go crazy myself if I had to stay home all day. But he was healing nicely.

During the week we moved into our new place. I was ecstatic about it. Nancy had moved all out and called us to give us the keys. Tony and I put our money together and paid the first months rent. Fixing the living and kitchen rooms were fun. Tony and I wanted to paint to cover up stains on the walls from unmoved pictures through the years. As we painted Tony splashed some on me with his brush, I swatted his arm and splashed some of mine on him. It was pretty much like that until we finished. And when we finished, we took a step back to evaluate. It was beautiful. 

We moved up stairs and painted that too, and finally we were ready to move the big stuff in. Mike helped and my father even came over to help some. My mother would come over to help me with curtains later but just having the extra hands helped a lot.

We were able to move everything that day, and I was so happy to be able to sleep in our new home with the love of my life. 

I unpacked as we went, and set the bedrooms up. Our bedroom had our bed from the cabin and the bedroom across the hallway was to be an office for my work. And maybe eventually a baby. I tried not to think of that too much because it was too soon and it was a reminder of the child I lost.

As it was getting late and we were both tired, we thanked Mike and my father and headed off to bed. We still had a lot to go through and organize. 

We lay in bed and I felt Tony's hand on my stomach. "You want to christen the house?" He whispered. I laughed.

"I'm too tired!" I pouted. And he smiled. 

"I bet I can get you untired." No he wasn't! And then he reached down my pajamas and started to massage me. Slowly and then faster. My heart rate started to skyrocket.

"What are you doing to me?" I think he asked that question once. He leaned closer to my ear.

"Driving you crazy. Because you drive me crazy." Well he was definitely doing just that. He continued to rub me until I was ready. Then I got up, ripped my clothes off as he did and I strattled him. And we made love twice that night.
