It had been torture being without him. She had become so used to sleeping with him at night that she could not fall asleep on her own. He called her every day while he was away and called before she went to bed without fail to tell her he missed her and for her to sleep tight and know he would come back to her soon.
Madison packed up what she had done on her garment. There was a steady progression and looked wonderful on her model. She loved the way it moved as the model walked. She had some finishing touches to do and some things that didn’t look how she wanted that she had to change, but she was in a good place. She stopped and went to visit Henry.
She let herself into his place after she rung the bell and he didn’t answer. She was worried he collapsed because she had seen his car and he wasn’t one to go for a walk. He would sit outside so he might be on his balcony on the other side and didn’t hear the doorbell.
Madison walked in and there were groans from upstairs. Her first image was that Henry had fallen and hurt himself and she ran up the stairs and opened the bedroom door to see something she didn’t expect.
Sabrina was there and on top of her brother. It was clear they were in the middle of sex and she turned her back, embarrassed to have caught the scene.
“Oh, I’m so sorry, I heard the noise and figured you had fallen and hurt yourself and I was coming to help. No need to, uh, stop. I’ll let myself out and catch up with you guys, uh, later.” She closed the door back and ran down the stairs the way she had come closing and locking the door behind her. Her face was red.
Why hadn’t they told her they were seeing each other? She wouldn’t have minded and was in fact happy for them. She just wished they had been comfortable telling her so she wouldn’t have walked in on them.
Madison wasn’t a drinker, but she needed a stiff one after that sight. Lucky for her Sabrina had been on top, so she had only seen Henry’s arms and legs but the sounds they had made were burned into her brain. She needed to take her mind off of it, so she headed back home.
She figured she would work on some more of her design. She knew Dante was coming home today, but he hadn’t told her when. He said he would surprise her. She wanted to surprise him too. Her period had still been there before he had left so they hadn’t been able to have sex.
She couldn’t wait to have sex as an official couple. Would it be different? She let herself into her place and screamed. “Dante. What are you doing here?”
There were rose petals all over the place and he was in a suit and tie and held a bouquet for her. She ran to him and he caught her in his arms. Their lips found each other and they made out as if he had been gone for years instead of a few days.
She let her legs fall and he let her slide down his body. She could feel his arousal.
“You look handsome.” This was a dark gray suit with navy blue pinstripes. It made his eyes look like storm clouds.
“Thank you. You look beautiful as ever. These are for you.” He handed her the flowers.
“Thank you, I didn’t expect you to be here now or I would have stayed.” And not have caught her brother and Sabrina together.
“I couldn’t wait to see you so I headed straight here.”
“I wish I had known. I went to see Henry and I caught him and Sabrina in the middle of it.”
“It?”
“Yeah. You know. It.”
“Ohhh, they were having sex.”
Her face heated, and the images and the sounds replayed in her head again. “Yeah.”
“You’re so cute.” He kissed her nose. “I can see how it would be uncomfortable to see them like that. It will fade away.”
“I hope so.”
“I’m going to go home to put my things away and change. You get dressed up. I want to take you out for dinner and dancing.”
“On a Wednesday?”
“We can’t go another day because we’re working.”
He had a point there. “Ok. What time should I be ready?”
“Let’s say I’ll pick you up at six p.m.”
“Ok, I’ll be ready.” She walked him to the door and they stood in the open doorway. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. He put his hands on her bottom and lifted her up before he sat her down.
“See you tonight.”
