XXX Chronicles

Chapter 26

Only too soon, reality intruded in the form of the irritating ringing of my phone. I tried to ignore it once before, but now the sound would simply not stop for longer than ten seconds before starting up again. Someone really was insistent!

I glanced over that clock. Shit! I was late!

“Baby..I gotta get up. You stay here…” I kissed Lisa’s shoulder and pulled the covers over her.  

“Michael…don’t leave…”  Her eyes opened and she looked like a little girl.

I brushed her hair back and bent down to kiss her once more. “Sorry. I’m late already. I make us coffee, okay?”

“’Kay…” Her eyes closed again.  I smiled thinking about how I had worn her out.

Not really wanting to leave her at all, I pulled on some track pants and went to the kitchen to make coffee while I listened to my machine. Damn! More bad news about equipment.  I returned the call and before I knew it was side tracked by business.  When I noticed the door opening, I about dropped the phone when Lisa, dressed in nothing but a towel, reached for the cup I had set out for her.

Getting off the phone as fast as I could, my eyes stayed glued to her as she sat across from me, looking both innocent and sexy at the same time.

“Damn you look good in the morning!” I bent down to kiss her.  It felt odd to interact on the other side of the bed again. Weird- I never quite knew how to act around her when we had clothes on. Or towels.

“Hope you don’t mind I took another shower. Seems the one we took last night was a bit redundant…given you messed me up again pretty good…”

I blushed. “Hey.  We aim to please. I’m a perfect host.”

She chuckled. “Yeah….that you are.  You took care of me real good. I might need help walking today, but other than that…”

Caveman me grew an inch and swung my club. Yeah, baby! I’m da man!

“Sorry…” I pulled her closer and kissed her once more.

“Yeah…you sound it.” She snuggled against me.

The phone rang again. Damn! She sighed and backed up.

“The machine can get it. Really.”

“No, it’s fine- I gotta get dressed anyway.” She started to rise.

“No, Lisa, really….”

The machine kicked in and the angry voice of my manager filled the room. “Mike, where the hell are you? You were supposed to be meeting me over an hour ago. You better get your skinny ass over here. Vacation’s over. We got some shit going down and…”

“Get it…sounds like there’s a fire…” Lisa kissed me and rose, just as I reached for the phone.

Damn! I watched her walk off admiring the sway of her hips.  Shit….Time to focus on the real world.

“Frank…I’m here…What’s going on? I’m sorry…I feel under the weather…”  I fake coughed. Lisa laughed and rolled her eyes before she disappeared in my bedroom.
