HOPE

Part Five

“You just missed her. She's a very private person and is picky on who she lets close to her. She's been hurt badly in the past by some very cruel people and has seen one of her lovers killed in a very horrible way while she was forced to watch. We have a lot in common and maybe she'll let you meet her if you can earn her trust. For now, she has reasons to be cautious about who she trusts. She's different and just the type of person I am lucky to have found.”

“I still want to meet her someday, but I wont push it as long as she makes you happy. Since I can't meet her can I at least see a picture of her?” Celeste laughed and shook her head. “I don't have a picture of her. She doesn't care for having her picture taken very often. Tell you what, Halloween is coming up next week and maybe I'll see if I can talk her into the cat costume. I'm going to go as a naughty angel since I think I can pull it off pretty well.”

I couldn't help but laugh about that and thought I might just be able to get away with it. I would still have to be careful not to let her know that I was not wearing a costume and that I really do look like this. After Celeste finished showing Debbie around the shop I finally came out and was working on a Triumph chopper that someone had brought in when Celeste came back in. The old bike was in bad shape and was going to take a while to restore.

“Hey sexy, you interested in giving it a try?” I couldn't resist teasing her. “I'll give you a try any day of the week.” Celeste laughed and kissed me before replying. “I meant the Halloween idea. Debbie is persistent and wont stop until she gets to meet you in person. I wont push you in to this if you are too worried about discovery. It's your decision, but at the very least, I want help making a naughty angel costume.”

I grabbed her chest and she instantly attacked me right then and there, to my great delight. We made short work of our clothes as we made our way up to the office. We wore each other out and fell asleep on the couch. I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the office door and moved fast into my hiding place. Celeste didn't bother with clothes as she got up and waited until I was safely hidden before opening the door.

Debbie was standing at the door with a surprised look on her face. “I think I must have interrupted something from the way you look. Either that or you're still hoping I'll switch sides.” “You broke in here, interrupted my sleep, and all in hopes of seeing me naked? You better be either going bi again or you are going to to owe me an explanation as to why you are here.” Debbie kissed her and then laughed. “I can see why your girlfriend wants you. I'm happily engaged and I am still tempted to have a quick fling again for old times sake. From the looks of the marks on your back she must be a real tiger in the sack.” “You have no idea, but let me throw some clothes on unless you want to continue this.”

Debbie laughed and threw her clothes at her. “Get dressed and then you can help me get my car into the garage. I was heading home from work when the damned thing died on me again. I locked it up two blocks away and came back over here to see if you were awake. I'm a bit surprised your front door was unlocked, but after seeing you nude I'm betting you had a tiger by the tail and the door was not even remotely on your mind.”
