When Boy Meets Girl

7. The Speakerphone Interlude

Friday Sept. 2nd, 4PM

Looking at the door like they've just seen a ghost, Lisa and Michael looked at each other and held their breath for a moment. The last thing they needed was to get caught up by a four year old.

Sitting there in distress, slightly disheveled while her arms were still around Michael's neck, Lisa swallows and clears her throat then says

"Riley, give me a second, mommy will be out right now".

"Otay" Riley has said in the sweetest high pitch voice which made both Lisa and Michael smile. Still touching foreheads and wanting to let go of each other, Michael starts backing up slowly, forcing Lisa to let go of him. Once Michael was out of her space, he helped her off the table then proceeded to help her put on her flannel. And before she could say anything Michael asks her for her phone.

Without hesitation she gives it to him, he takes it and adds his number in there; while also calling himself to make sure that he had hers.

"Did you just use my cell phone?" Lisa asked.

And with a bright mischievous smile, Michael answered back "Yes and do you have a problem with it?"

Rolling her eyes at him while snatching her phone back she tells him, "I do. You didn't even ask if I wanted your number and also what made you think I would want it anyways." 

Simply just standing there, amused by the situation & Lisa's ranting; Michael decides to get close to her one more time and grabs her chin and tilts it up. Their eyes meet again and while looking into her eyes, he could tell that she wanted more, but also could see she was conflicted as well. 

"Mommy!" Riley ends up yelling annoyingly.

Breaking yet another spell between them, Lisa ends up thinking "oh shit, not again". Quickly leaving Michael's embrace, she goes straight to the front door and tells Riley "let's go find you a potty"

Once done with taking Riley to the bathroom, Lisa had decided it was time for them to go because who was she kidding, she wasn't gonna get any work done after that little stunt they just pulled.

2 hours later

After hitting the city and getting something to eat, Lisa and Riley were back in their home and settling in for the rest of the evening. While Riley sat in the living room, she played with her dolls while watching Beauty and Beast.

Lisa in the kitchen unpacking their things and cleaning up decided that she needed to drown herself in some wine then possibly take a shower after so she could wash away this weird tingly feeling she's been having since she left Michael. Grabbing her red wine and her favorite wine glass, Lisa walked to the beige color living room and sat on the couch blankly watching the movie that Riley had asked for.

While sitting on the couch Lisa's mind kept wandering back to her interaction with Michael earlier, his strong arms lifting her up so swiftly, to him carrying her to the table, then his soft, gentle, but strong hands rubbing and lightly squeezing her thighs while his sweet lips had fit hers just perfectly and tasted so good ...

Shaking her head and then pouring herself another glass and drinking in one big gulp, she decided to get down on the floor and play with Riley to distract herself from "overthinking".

Once the movie was over, Lisa and Riley cleaned up the living room together, then went ahead and got ready for bed. While Lisa made Rileys bathwater, Riley went and got all her bath toys and dumped them in and asked her mom if she could have a sparkly pink bath tonight. Lisa of course respected her wishes and gave her a pink bath, enjoying their quiet time together, while helping Riley bathe herself Lisa sang an Aretha Franklin song while Riley hummed along.
