Never Forgotten

Part 4

Part 4

She stood naked in front of the mirror and studied her features. The wrinkles on her face told the story of a life filled with smiles but also worries and sadness. Her breasts were not as firm as they used to be and her skin not as tight. She never felt insecure in her body, the main reason for that being John. He used to cherish everything about her, from her freckles, her scars to the more intimate places.

Seeing him last night made her suddenly feel a little insecure. A lot had happened since they saw each other last, she had aged. She had always been full of self confidence but now looking at herself, she only saw what she felt like inside, which was not something beautiful.

She thought about the short glimpse she had of John. He looked as handsome as ever. His hair was now gray, but he still had the physique of a young man, at least from what she could see.
She couldn't help but wonder what he might think of her now.... "Oh my gosh, get yourself together, why are you thinking like an insecure teenage girl" she told herself as she got into the shower.

Feeling the water running down her body, tickling her skin, stirred a feeling inside of her, one that she hadn't felt in ages. Her cheeks started to flush, her nipples stiffened and a warmth started to spread through her body.

She closed her eyes as she remembered how John used to come up from behind her in the shower. How his hands would tease her skin, move up her arms to her nipples and end up at her warm center. How he would wash her hair and body, and make sure he didn't miss a spot. And how he would kneel down in front of her, bringing his mouth to her hot wet center, and bring her to heaven with just his mouth and tongue.

"Doc, Doc, where are you?" Roman interrupted her just as her hand reached her sensitive knob.

Opening her eyes, she let out the air she had been holding.

"I'm in the shower!"

"Can you hurry up, I need to shower as well before I go to the police station" he yelled.

"But it's Sunday Roman!" She stated matter of fact as she turned off the water and stepped out of the shower.

Bursting inside the bathroom, Roman didn't notice her flustered state as he walked past her. She quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her naked body.

"I know Doc, but they need me and it's not like we have any plans for today" he said as he started to undress.

Looking at her husband's naked body she felt nothing. Not a single feeling of desire or want.
And he probably felt the same. Again her thoughts drifted to when she was with John. He would never be able to see her naked and just walk past her, never. And neither would she.

Getting dressed she tried to come up with something to do, to occupy her mind and not constantly think about John. She had so many questions. Why was he back in Salem? She hadn't noticed who he was dining with... Where did he live now? Was he married?

                                    ————

Insomnia had always been his companion, but last night it had been worse than it had in years. Seeing her for just that split second was all it took for him to sit up all night, looking out the window just as he had done for the first few years after he left Salem.
She still looked so beautiful, so sexy...she hadn't aged one bit in those 25 years. He had always been able to read her mood both through her body language but more so her eyes. And last night he saw sadness in those beautiful hazel eyes. That spark he remembered so well was not present. Was it because she was surprised to see him? Did something happen to her? He had so many questions.
He assumed that she was still married to Roman. Did they still live in the same house?
He had been contemplating all night about what to do now. One thing he knew for sure was that he had to see her before he left Salem. He needed closure of some sort, and she was the only one to provide that.
