  “I don’t want to talk in private because I have only one thing to say to you and Sydney is the reason why I am not knocking you to the ground right now. How dare you come into my home to interfere with my family? Is that what you were employed to do? To target the parents of the children you teach to break their family apart?”

  “No, I am sorry,” she whispered trying to keep our conversation quiet. “Please, it will never happen again. I am truly sorry.”

  “You better be, because the next time you so much as look at my wife again, I will remove you fucking eyes from their socket!” I said through gritted teeth. “Do you understand me?”

  “I do. I am so sorry.”

  I walked away and she ran into a room and closed the door. Some parents were looking at us but I could not tell if they heard what it was about but I could not care less. I went into Taila’s class, greeted Miss Catherine and collected my daughter.

  Tomorrow would be Saturday and the day when my world stops turning. I will lose Alison forever and so I wanted to hear her voice one last time.

  “Logan!” Alison greeting happily but then the happiness turned to gloom. “I am scared…”

  “Hey, Ali. You know that I am barely hanging on to life when you are not by my side. I am like an empty shell and I don’t know who I am any more. Oh God...I love you so much, Alison.”

  “I love you too, baby.”

  “If I could just hold you, just touch you,” I sighed, “being away from you is excruciating. You have given me all of you, there is nothing more I could ask...you have opened your life for me to walk in and you have no idea what that means to me.”

  “Logan…,” she cried. “Logan…”

  “What we are capable of bringing to each other’s life remains a mystery and is wide open before us to explore. I have let my imagination experience just a taste of it and it is spectacular!” I smile and exhaled because I could feel the euphoria of what was in store for us. I see it, I feel it, I could just taste it...but I could not take it.

  “From tomorrow onward, you can live what you imagined,” she said sweetly and that was the last thing I wanted to hear her say.

  I disconnected the call and turned my phone off.

  I filled the rest of the afternoon with activities, most rewarding was the movie that all three of us went to see. It was a nice break from Sydney nagging me about my family whom I did not wish to see. Eventually she let up because she realized that it was causing me to get really upset so she decided that it was up to me to reach out to them and make amends.

  Taila barely made it through half of a story before she was out like a light. When I walked away, it dawned on me that tomorrow was fast approaching and I needed the arms of my wife. I went in search of her and to my surprise she had a bag of baby clothes that belonged to Taila.

  “What are you doing?” I laughed.

  “I am taking out the newborns and zero to three months clothes to encourage you to get on board. We desperately need another baby.”

  “Oh honey, the baby will not survive inside me. Look at me, I am a mess. You go this time and I will get the third. By then I will be one hundred percent ready.”

  Sydney laughed out. “How many children are we planning to have?”

  “Well, if you go twice then I will have to go twice. So that makes it four but I will go about mine smarter. I will have my two at the same time.”

  “Twins?!” She exclaimed.

  “Why not?”

  “I can’t take care of you with twins, babe. You are a vegetable when you have a little headache so how am going to deal with your mood swings and your crap...no. I will go now so we have a lot of time to talk about your ‘twins’”

  I laughed and I was grateful that she got that out of me because I needed it.

  “Do you remember this one? Erika bought it. This was your favorite outfit for her,” Sydney smiled and looked at me. “Baby, you need to forgive her. She is hurting so much.”

  “I know. I will. I just need a little more time,” I said and moved on. “Are you sure you can go again? You had a difficult pregnancy with Tai. What did the doctors say?”

  “They said it will be much easier with the second one. There is nothing to worry about sweetie. I am willing to take your turn,” she smiled.

  “Why are you so good to me?”

  “I had a horrible relationship before you so I know what it feels like to be loved and cherished so whatever I can do to show you how much I love you, I jump at the opportunity,” she smile and I held her face in my hands and kissed her deeply.

  It was meant to be just a little kiss but Sydney held me and brought me into her lap.

  “I missed the taste of you…,” she whispered in my mouth.

  Her hand went under my pajama top and over my braless breasts then her fingers found my nipples. I moaned into her mouth and my body came alive because it had been a while since I had sex and my body was beginning to remind me. I raised my hands in the air so that Sydney could take my blouse over my head. Once my top was off, she lowered her head and closed her mouth over my breast that were erect and begging for attention. The feel of her tongue on me raced through my body and my clit was responding, throbbing wildly between my legs.

  I removed the strap of her night dress and her breasts were now bare. I laid her back on the sofa and climbed over her. I sucked a nipple in my mouth and Sydney cried out before covering her mouth because we knew we were in the living room and our housekeeper could walk in any minute but this was the longest we have ever been without sex and we were not able to change location so whoever walked in on us was in for a show. We just hoped that Taila stayed asleep.

  I ravished her breast and her lips then went to the place we were most anxious about. I pulled up her dress over her hips and removed her panties then placed one of her legs on the backrest of the sofa. I looked at her deliciously wet pussy and knew I was going to enjoy every second of eating her. I opened her lips and licked the inside of her. She struggle to remain quiet as her hips started to move, fucking my face. I sucked her clit into my mouth and she twisted and bucked under the onslaught of my tongue.

  I brought two fingers to her opening and slowly inserted then into her wet hole. I could feel my fingers sliding against the gritted passage of flesh. If felt so erotic and I could feel my own orgasm approaching. I slowly fucked her and I felt the walls of her muscle contracting and I knew she was about to cum. I licked her clit while I fucked her and she had now abandoned her need to suppress her screams. She still was not as loud as when we were in the bedroom but it was loud enough to fill the room. I sucked harder and fucked faster until she grabbed hold of me and convulsed through her orgasm.

  “Oh my God! Baby...that was insane. Oh shit! You are one hot wife I tell you. Come up here,” she commanded.

  I removed my pants and panties and climbed over her placing the opening of my pussy on her mouth and my clit on her nose the way she liked. I felt her tongue slipped up inside me and my head snapped back at the feeling. My eyes rolled back in my head and I felt her rubbed her nose on my clit then she went lower...her nose inside me and she licked anywhere her tongue could reach.

  I could not hold this fucking orgasm back because Sydney was not giving me a chance to. She brought her mouth back up and over my clit as my legs shook at the feel of my orgasm waiting to explode. She sucked my entire pussy into her mouth and that did it. I held her head and fucked her face until I erupted and even when it was over, my wife’s face was still being fucked because I could not stop.

  It went on for a while before I started losing the function of my limbs so I rolled to the floor.

  “Baby,” she laughed. “Get up here.”

  I got up and she made room in her arms for me.

  “We need to get to the bedroom. Our ass is bare,” I said.

  “This is our home and we can bare our asses if we want right?”

  “Ahm...no,” I laughed, grabbed our
clothes and ran up the stairs, giggling like teenagers.

  We made it into bed and went another round of lovemaking before we fell asleep in each other’s arms, too tired to get dressed as was our rule just in case Taila climbed into bed but we did not have the energy so we both went to sleep.

  +++

  I opened my eyes as if shaken from sleep. It was seven in the morning and it was Saturday! I got out of bed and into the bathroom, this was the day I dreaded, that I did not want to arrive. That would bring us unspeakable agony, a day I wished never came. I brushed my teeth and went downstairs to my office. This was the room that had bore the weight of the fears and the joys of the past year that being with Alison had brought. Now, it was the destination of the finale, the end of Alison and me. I never thought this would happen because I always thought that we would be together forever; we would always find a way to be together.

  I sat looking at my phone and shaking my legs. I was afraid to check it because I knew that she must have been calling last night to get the flight information. Hesitantly, I turned on my phone. Fifteen missed calls in addition to text and voice messages.

  Logan, I need to know what time your flight will be coming in. Please call or text the information. Love you, bye.

  I knew it! Fuck! I paced the floor, afraid to look at the other messages because I will not be prepared for what I would be seeing. Maybe I should just discard the phone and...no I couldn’t. I know where I was suppose to be. I was suppose to be getting ready with my luggage packed, say goodbye to my daughter and heading to the airport to be with my Alison.

  My phone started to ring! I looked at the screen and her name was displayed. My hands started to shake as I picked up the phone from my desk and looked at it until it stopped. I check another text message.

  I know you are scared, baby but it will be alright when you get here. We will be going back regularly to see your daughter and if you could get her for a few days we would show her an amazing time. We can figure this out.

  Then another…

  Logan please call me. Please.

  I was now unable to see the screen because my eyes were constantly filled with tears. I was trying to access my voicemail but as soon as I wiped my eyes they were filled again and I knew that this will be the story for the rest of the day. I managed somehow to finally access the messages and her voice and her cries filled the room.

  Logan, I will be going to the airport at airport at ten o’clock and I will wait for your call in the parking lot and I will wait there all day if I have to until you see that.…

  She cried and could not catch her breath to complete her message and I listened to her tears of pain as realization was setting in but still a glimmer of hope that I would just jump in my car and drive to the airport as I was.

  ….until you see that we are meant to be together. Logan, please come to me. Please. You promised…you fucking promised…

  The cries continued but this time the message ended and I was devastated. I fell on the floor on my knees crying and in pain for hurting Alison because I know deep in my heart that I was suppose to be with her and for a moment I was tempted to run...just as I was, into the garage into my car and head to the airport. I heard the door to the office opened and Sydney walked in.

  “Logan! Oh my God! What’s wrong, sweetie?” she said lifting me off the floor and onto the sofa.

  I did not answer mostly because I could not speak from the hysterical crying. I wanted her to leave me alone because there was nothing she could do for me but I could not say the words for her to get the message so I showed her by pulling out of her arms and walking away from her to the other end of the room.

  “Logan, is this about Alison?” she asked biting her lips with worry. “How long is this going to go on? I have been patient with you but this is so fucking selfish and disrespectful for you to be in our home and crying for another woman and what do you expect me to do? I have been comforting you while you pine away for her. I am your wife! I should not have this job…”

  “I did not ask you to comfort me or do any of the shit you have done because nothing you do can make me feel better. None of you get it and you never will because you have never been in this position where you have found the person who burst through everything you think you know and show you what your life was meant to be, what you were meant to feel, what you were meant to experience, and you can’t fucking have it because she was too late!” I yelled at Sydney as my words bored holes through her.

  “Are you suffering because of us? We are not enough for you, are we?” She asked softly but I did not answer because it wasn’t really like that. “You seemed as if you were getting past this, Logan. We made beautiful love last night and this morning you are here in pieces. Is there some significance today?”

  “When I told you that I was moving to New York, it should have been today. I promised her that I would be there and I did not let her know that I have changed my mind and decided to stay with my family instead,” I cried. “She is expecting to pick me up and the airport and she has made all these arrangements for me.”

  “Why the hell didn’t you tell her after all this time. I dealt with my situation right away…”

  “It is not the same! These are just women you slept with that did not mean even a fraction of what Alison means to me. I knew what it will do to her and I did not want to be the one to cause her so much pain.”

  “Then let me speak to her…”

  “Don’t you dare! Sydney, I am serious about this! Don’t…”

  “I have had her number for seven months and I haven’t called. I wanted to but I didn’t want you to get angry and push you into her arms so don’t worry about me calling your precious Alison.”

  The phone started to ring again and her name came up on the screen. My inside was in a grinder and I had never felt this way before, I truly did not think I would make it through the day, not with the way I was feeling.

  “Why don’t you answer the phone and tell her what you are doing?”

  “I can’t! Sydney, just leave me alone, please!”

  “Answer the fucking phone and tell her you are staying with your family! Give the phone to me!”

  “No! I am warning you Sydney. This will not end well. Let me handle it,” I challenged, staring her down.

  “Fuuuuck!” She screamed and hit the pen holder off the desk sending pens flying across the room as she walked out slamming the door behind her.

  I bent down on the floor picking them up and I broke down once again.

  “Alison! I’m sorry!” I cried out in the room then continued through blinding tears to search for the remainder of the pens.

  I laid on the sofa and stayed in one position until midday. Alison would have been at the airport for two hours now and crying just as much as I was. The office door opened and Sydney walked in with a tray.

  “Honey can you please eat something?”

  “I’m not hungry,” I whispered.

  “I know but just a little...you are going to have a headache.”

  “I already have a headache.”

  “But I can give you an aspirin because there is nothing in your stomach. Please just take a bite,” she said putting a piece of sandwich to my mouth but I would not be able to chew and would probably gag.

  “Thank you but I can’t,” I said and Sydney sighed heavily.

  “Taila has been asking for you but I have been keeping her away. Can you come out and just sit with her? Maybe it will make you feel better.”

  “I can’t.”

  “Logan! I can’t fucking deal with this! Is this what we will be getting? This is all you will be to us? This is not what we had before her and it is not fair to us. You need to get over it and give us what we deserve because if this is what it is going to be, Logan, you may as well just go to her and let Taila and I try to start again and learn to fucking live without you.”

  “I need time, Sydney!”

  “I gave you time and I should not have to
give you time to moan for your lover! How dare you put this family in this position,” she cried. “Go! Just fucking go to her!”

  “Then I will!” I said and picked up my phone then marched into the living room to get my bag.

  “Logan...please. I’m sorry. Please don’t go,” Sydney cried.

  “Mommy! Where are you going? Come back!” Taila screamed. “Mama…”

  “Logan! Please…” she pleaded holding on to my arm as I went through to the garage.

  I went into the car and started the engine as she reached for crying Taila who was standing at the doorway. I reversed and watched as Sydney picked Taila up in her arms as they both cried. I turned my head away and closed the garage door because the image was too much to bear. I drove out of the driveway and into the direction of the airport and the pressure around my heart and the knot in my chest started to ease away. A smile came over my lips and the tears had stopped spilling. I listened to the last voicemail from Alison and I made my way to her.
