I let myself into my apartment and was hit with a wave of loneliness remembering Magna moved out while I was gone. Her shoes were no longer in a pile by the door and her jackets were gone from the coat rack. Her bedroom was empty except for her bed. She didn't need that where she was going. I walked back to the living room and started tidying up. I sat on the couch and felt the tears coming, a small sob escaped my lips. It was so quiet in my apartment, I almost jumped out of my skin when someone knocked on my door."Coming!" I wiped my eyes and checked myself in the mirror by the door. My eyes were a little red, but not that noticeable.
When I opened the door, I had to look down to see who was there. RJ. He was wearing a big smile, so big his cheeks were pushing his eyes closed and his nose was wrinkled. I kneeled in front of him. "What can I do for ya, dude?" I tapped a finger on his nose.
He giggled. "Well, we can't go fishing because it's raining," I looked behind me out the window. Well, damn, when did that start? "So, we're having breakfast for dinner!" RJ's favorite. No wonder he looked like he was about to explode. "Anyway, Uncle Daryl sent me over to ask if you had any milk. So, do you have any? Come eat with us, please!"
I laughed, "Yes, I have milk. I'll be over in a few minutes." He skipped back to his door. Ugh, why is Carol making him leave again when she could send someone else? And why do I care so much all the sudden?
I decided to change before heading next door. I slipped out of my jeans and put on a pair of leggings, I paired it with an oversized sweater. I stuffed my feet in my slippers, grabbed my keys and the milk and was out the door.
I barely even knocked before Judith opened the door. "I heard your door close," she grabbed my hand and pulled me in. "I tried to beat you to our door."
"Where's Daryl?" He wasn't in the kitchen or living room.
"In the shower. He'll be out in a minute. Wanna see my new record player Daryl got me?" I sat the milk on the counter as she dragged me to her room. Her room was across the hall from the bathroom. I could hear the shower running and had to keep my thoughts PG. Judith was talking and I just kept nodding. I couldn't stop thinking about him...naked. "Who was your favorite artist from before?" Naked, wet Daryl. "River?"
"Yep, ok." I replied absently.
"Are you even listening to me?" She put a hand on her hip.
I heard the bathroom door click open. "Judith, next time let me know when we're outta toothpaste, I had ta use RJ's," he was wearing a pair of black sweatpants and no shirt. He didn't see me at first because he was toweling off his hair. He looked so good. He still had little beads of water rolling down his muscles. I could feel the heat rising in my body, my breath hitched a little at the sight. "Oh, I uhh-, I didn't know ya were here." He pulled his t-shirt on quickly.
"Oh," I was confused. "I brought the milk."
"Milk, we didn't need-" Judith cut him off.
"I know. I'm sorry, I just really wanted her to come over. I made RJ go over and give her puppy dog eyes." I laughed at that.
"Those were his puppy dog eyes? He looked like he had a big secret he was trying to hold in." I laughed even harder realizing that was exactly what was happening. "So, are we making breakfast or not?" I made my way to the door.
"Sorry they bothered ya." He said apologetically.
I placed a hand on his shoulder. "It was worth it." I looked him up and down, pulling my lips into a smile and walked back to the kitchen.
"We'll talk about that later." I couldn't help but smile at Daryl's 'dad voice'. It gave me goosebumps.
"Ok." She spoke quietly. I heard her quick footsteps behind me.
We made eggs, bacon, pancakes, and toast. We laughed, told stories, and shared smiles. After we ate, Judith begged me to stay for a movie. I glanced at Daryl and he nodded. We decided on Baby Geniuses, one of my favorites. We got comfortable on the couch, Daryl and I on opposite ends and the kids snuggled between us. When the movie was over, I stood up and stretched.
"Wellllll," I yawned. "I've got an early morning and so does Daryl. Come give me hugs!" They didn't move.
"I want ice cream!" RJ pouted. "Me, too!" Added Judith. "Ya know, I'm in the mood for somethin' sweet, too." A sly little smile slid over his lips. He got up, checked the freezer and frowned. "Never mind, guess we're actually out of that. I'll get groceries when I get back."
"I've got some. Walk me to my door and I'll let ya have it." Hoping he'd catch on.
"Deal." He kicked his lips. "You two," he pointed them, "get ready for bed and when I get back we can have a little snack."
We walked silently to my apartment, and he patiently waited for me to unlock my door. He was so close I could feel his feel his body heat. As soon as the door latched behind us his hands were on me. Pulling at my sweatshirt, tangled in my hair, dancing at my waistband. Kissing my mouth, neck, and collarbone. He pulled off my sweatshirt and continued his trail of kisses down my stomach, then lower. I could barely catch my breath, my hands gripping his hair. He picked me up and sat me on the kitchen island. His fingers hooked my waistband and before my head could catch up my pants were inside out and on the floor. He kissed me again, hard. His free hand moved down my body and at my waist. I whimpered at his hesitation. "Please..." I pleaded.
His hand dove down and he moaned into my mouth at the slickness. His other hand gently putting pressure on my throat. When he pushed inside me, I cried out in pleasure. "Shhh." He pushed his mouth harder onto mine. His hand left my throat, grabbed a handful of hair and pulled. He kissed my neck, licked my collarbone, took my nipples in his mouth, he moved lower and lower. When he reached my inner thigh, I couldn't catch my breath. He warned me once more with his eyes. Be quiet, or I won't get to finish. I put my fingers to my mouth and bit down.
He took one last look at me with his hungry eyes then devoured me. His tongue working my clit, his fingers working inside me. His other hand spread over my chest, reaching for me. As I reached my climax, back arching and body shaking, I wanted to scream. But I was good and kept my voice down. "I'm gonna...unhhh..." I quietly cried through my hand. With a careful hook of his finger and delicate flick of his tongue I finished, hard. My body shuttered around him, my fingers in his hair. I pulled him to me and kissed him. I could taste myself on him. He was right, he was in the mood for something sweet.
He left with ice cream and a promise to stop by when he was back from his next run. I slept well that night. Which was a good thing because I was gonna need it.
