chapter 32
Fireworks.
That’s what Jonny saw after making love to Heather for the second time that afternoon. She was insatiable - rubbing, kissing, caressing...telling him how amazing he was. Heather was something else. Jonny loved how he felt around her. Like someone important, which, he was. Jill saw Jonathan Roeker. Heather saw Jonny Rock. Their romp made him forget about Jill and his promise. After all, why should he end a good thing?
Heather languished naked on the bed and pulled a cigarette from her purse. She lit up and took a long drag. “You want?”
Jonny wasn’t a smoker, but took it anyway. A cigarette after sex was nice sometimes.
“Jonny, it was too long between our times together.” She traced circles on his chest with a single pink fingernail.
He took another drag and blew the smoke slowly from his lips. “I agree.” He did.
“Can’t we see each other more...outside of work. I want to go to dinner with you.”
“Heather you know that can’t happen...I’m married.”
“But you don’t love her.”
“Yes, I do.”
“Then what are you doing here with me?” Point.
“Fooling around.” Counterpoint.
Heather pulled away. “I hate it when you say that. You make me feel so cheap, like I don’t mean anything.”
“If I didn’t want to be with you I wouldn’t be with you.”
“Are you with me just for the sex?”
“No,” he lied.
“That’s good to hear.” She looked up at him with a smile.
He brushed her pigtail away from her face. “Is it?”
“Yes, it is, because Jonny Rock, I’m starting to fall in love with you.”
