| Chapter 17 |
| Liz anxiously awaited Tamara's arrival Sunday evening. She prayed to God that Tamara had used those god given brains of hers and resisted the temptation not knowing that nothing had occured yet. Her cell phone startled her out of her thoughts."Hello?" "Hey baby. How's it going?"AJ inquired. "You tell me." He knew it was coming."Nothing happened." She didn't know whether to be angry or elated. She should be happy but how did it not happen is what she wondered."I don't understand." "It didn't even get that far. We stopped him." "As in?" "As in we finally came to our senses. We don't want him to screw it up with this girl and I've expected way too much for the things I've asked you to do and understand about me." "Is this an apology?" "It's my way of saying I don't wanna screw things up with you any more than I already have. I love you too much to keep doing that to you." "You are the best. Listen, Tam's flight just got in. Call ya later?" "Anything for you." "Tell me something though Age." "What?" "How'd you get him to not.. I can't even say it,"She cringed at the thought. "Basically a threat of losing the best thing that ever happened to him." "It seems to be the only evident way to keep him there too but do you really think he's gonna give up his practices?" "That I don't know. You said Tam's flight just got in so I'll let ya go now. Love you." "Love you too honey,"Liz flipped her phone closed just as Tam came out of the long hallway. "Liz!"She greeted. "How ya doing girl?" |
| "Good. Good. So how was work this weekend?" "How do you think?" Tamara snickered."Let's go get my bag." As they waited for her bag she turned to Liz."Something kinda bothered me this weekend though." "What's that?" "None of ya girls were there. Was kinda boring." "We all have different schedules Tam. Sometimes we just end up there together on the weekends." "Still learning remember?" "I know but something else seems to be bothering you. I can see that." She exhausted a sigh."I don't know Liz. I was the only woman in a crowd of three very attractive men and women were giving me funny glances. It never used to bother me but your boyfriend being one of them." "That's not all is it?" "No. It's like Howie's got this weird side to him. Maybe my imagination is just in overdrive." "You're probably right Tam. Howie's got a weird side anyway and it 's you." |
| "If I weren't so damn tired Liz." "I'm just funning ya. You're too easy. Let's get you home and into your own bed. I think too much sex has scrambled your brain." Bed. That's what it was. It had to do something with their sex life. She couldn't put her finger on it but she knew that was where the problem lay(no pun intended). What was he gonna do when he found out about her depraved little fantasies. Maybe they weren't so depraved in her eyes but to the rest of the world....well to him. Maybe he wouldn't understand. Maybe she should just keep them to herself for now. |
