Breaking Away

Oh well, hopefully he’d still want to have sex with her after her uterus calmed down.

When her door opened, she looked over at it and was surprised at what she saw. Of course, he looked freaking fantastic in a blue, button-up shirt with a bright red bow tie and khaki pants. His hair was brushed to the side and his eyes were extra bright from his shirt, but he also had his arms full of things. Kicking the door closed, he came towards her, a smile pulling at his lips before he reached the bed and leaned down to kiss her lips softly.

She smiled as they parted, so glad to see him, and said, “What the heck? I thought you weren’t gonna be home for another couple of weeks?”

He smiled as he laid the bags on her bed. “Claire had a parent-teacher conference I had to go to.”

“Oh, cool, everything okay?”

“Yeah, great, she’s on the A-honor roll.”

Reese smiled. “That’s great.”

“Yeah, I’m pretty proud of her. I think I might buy her a car when we get back from Chicago.”

“She’ll love that.”

He laughed. “Yeah, and I’ll probably get a head full of grey hair. Hope you like that type of thing.”

She giggled as she flashed him a grin. “It’s hot.” He scoffed and Reese reached out, cupping his face. “She won’t disappoint you. She loves you.”

He smiled as he shrugged his shoulders. She could tell he still didn’t believe that, but she did. She knew it was true and hoped that one day he would too.

“I hope you’re right,” he said before he leaned back down, kissing her long and slow as he framed her face in his hands. Parting slowly, he drew a few more kisses out of her before saying against her lips, “You are so fucking gorgeous.”

She laughed, pushing him away. “Please, I’m fugly.”

He rolled his eyes as he sat up, reaching for the bags. “Whatever, hush, I got you some presents to help make you feel better.”

She perked up some, sitting up slowly and cringing from the pain. “I like presents.”

“I figured you did,” he said, unloading a heating pad.

She about screamed as he tore the package open and plugged it in before handing it to her. “Oh my god, I am going to give you the best blow job of your life once I feel better.”

He chuckled, low and sexy as his eyes darken. “Again, I look forward to that very much.”

She moved it onto her stomach and smiled up at him. She was about in tears when the heat from the heating pad hit her belly, soothing her angry uterus.

“Thank you.”

Grinning, he said, “Oh, I’m not done.”

She watched with excitement as he pulled out a big chocolate cake from a bag and laid it down on the bed. She grinned up at him as she reached for it, but then she noticed it had writing on it.

Hope your vagina and uterus get better, I miss it.

She couldn’t help it and, despite the pain, she toppled over with laughter. Looking up at him, she giggled as she said, “How in the hell did you get the worker to write that on there?”

“Audrey loves me; she’ll do anything for me.”

Reese laughed and became more excited. Audrey may not like her, and she might not like Audrey, but that girl could bake some sweets. Placing the cake down, she watched as Phillip laid pads, tampons, Midol, two tubs of Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey, and a one-pound bag of Reese Pieces down. She looked up at him and couldn’t see him through the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

“You bought me pads and tampons?”

He shrugged shyly as he looked away. “I guessed really on what you needed. I wanted to surprise you, make you feel better.”

“You did,” she said breathlessly as she laid the glorious heating pad down and got on her knees. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed him long and hard as his arms came around her waist, hugging her softly. Dusting his lips, chin, and jaw with kisses, she smiled as she snuggled into his neck. “Thank you so much.”

“Anytime.”
