Phone Call

Gina kicked her shoes off as she walked in the door. Her apartment on the other side of town wasn't the comfy cozy apartment that Missie's was. It was more utilitarian. Her decor was modern. Lots of clean lines and empty surfaces. She should really try to spruce it up, but she was so rarely home anymore.

She'd had a couple glasses of wine at Missie's and retold some of her Josh stories from college. It was just crazy that HE was the hottie that Missie had been talking about a few weeks earlier! It worked out that Missie had Mike now. Gina would have probably died if Missie had moved in on Josh before she knew that he was Gina's college hottie. Luckily it wouldn't be an issue.

Gina tossed her bag on the table and hooked her keys by the door. She was headed for the bathroom when her phone buzzed with a text message. She grabbed it as she headed down the hall.

Hey, can you talk right now?

It was Josh. Not wanting to be the girl who waits with her phone in her hand, she went to the restroom and changed into some comfy lounge pants before texting him back.

Yeah, just got home.

Then she sat on her bed and waited. It took about two minutes for the phone to ring. "Hello?" She answered as casually as possible.

"Hey, It's Josh." She smiled.

"How are you settling in?" She asked. They chatted for a few minutes about his job and the area, she recommended places to avoid and a few restaurants.

"Maybe you could show me sometime?" Josh asked, when she told him her favorite Italian place.

"That would be nice." Gina smiled into the phone. She flashed back to one night they'd ordered Italian take-out and brought it back to his apartment. They'd barely touched their food when they pounced on each other. That had been a fun night. she coughed to cover up her nostalgic sigh.

He laughed, and she didn't want to ask why, so she kept going. "Maybe once you get settled we can check it out."

"How about Sunday?" He asked.

"Sunday would be fine with me." she grinned and bit her lip.

"Ok, I'll let you go then. I'll call you that afternoon to get directions."

"Alright."

They said goodnight and hung up the phone. Gina dropped the phone on the bedspread. She couldn't wait until Sunday.

Gina


"Damn it Missie," Gina muttered under her breath. She was supposed to pick her up for lunch ten minutes ago and she was still sitting in the parking lot. She was apparently talking with a tenant. Sighing she stepped out of the car, hoping to speed up this process. She'd had a string of shitty dates that put her in one hell of a bad mood.

Two weeks ago she'd let this guy take her home only to find out that he just wanted to cuddle. Apparently he was saving himself for his future wife, and while Gina wasn't going to bitch about that, she would bitch that he got her to his house under false pretenses. What happened to the days when girls were teases and guys always put out? It had been way too long since she'd had sex, and even longer since she'd had anything other than mediocre hook-ups. She was frustrated, and something was going to have to give, or her bitchy mood might become permanent.

She reached for the handle to the door to the outside office and almost got knocked down by someone coming out. Her hands flew in front of her face and she reached out to keep from stumbling. Her hand landed against a solid chest, and she could smell the musky aftershave. She managed to suppress a small moan as she looked up.

No. Fucking. Way.

"Gina?" The gorgeous brown hair blue-eyed reminder of college was smiling at her, making her go all soft... and wet.

"Hey Josh. What are you doing here?" Before he could answer Missie bounded out the door with her keys in hand.

"Hey." She looked from Gina to Josh. "Do you two know each other?" She quirked an eyebrow and Gina nodded. "Yes." Josh said. After another beat Gina looked away from Josh and turned to Gina.

"We went to college together." Josh was still grinning and Gina was trying not to remember all the naughty things he'd done to her back then, but her nipples perked up anyway. Damn libido. This was what happened to the sex-starved.

"Oh," Missie was still fumbling with the key in the lock. "Well maybe you should join us for lunch, Josh. We were going to grab Mexican." Gina felt the air rush out of her lungs as Josh agreed. She walked woodenly to the driver's side and unlocked the doors. The three piled in and Missie chatted about the restaurant they were going to. Her tone was somewhat frantic and without even looking Gina knew that Missie realized she'd made a mistake inviting him.

Of course it wasn't really a mistake, but Gina just wasn't sure how to navigate this particular situation. Josh had been two years ahead of her in school. Her Sophomore year she pledged his fraternity's sister sorority. They had a super hot and heavy fling spring semester of his Senior year, but then he graduated and they went their separate ways. No hard feelings, just drifted apart. she thought he was living in Florida somewhere, but that had been years ago.

"So I take it you've moved into the complex?" Gina glanced at Josh in the rearview when Missie took a breath.

"Yeah, work promotion. It looks like I'll be here for a few years." She nodded and turned her attention back to the road. Gina explained to Missie that they'd both been Greek and Josh shared a silly story from her pledge week when she'd asked him to sign her stomach for a scavenger hunt.

They laughed and Gina felt herself relaxing some. At the restaurant they settled in and ordered before Josh excused himself to the restroom. As soon as he was out of earshot Missie exhaled.

"Girl, I'm sorry. I didn't know that your fraternity hottie's name was Josh or I might have figured it out before I invited him to lunch."

Gina waved a hand, no point worrying now. Besides, if Josh was single her sexual drought could be over.

"Don't worry about it. It just caught me off guard. Josh was always a fun guy. It's cool that he's living here now." Missie sipped her diet coke and smiled.

"What?" Gina asked.

"So he was good in bed, huh?" Both girls erupted in laughter just before Josh reached the table. He slid in close to Gina.

"What's so funny?" he asked, smiling right at Gina. She smiled back not answering.

"Gina was just telling me about the way you guys used to climb the bell towers in college." Gina shouldered bounced with silent laughter and Josh's eyes gleamed. Missie was trying to make some conversation based on things she knew about Gina. Of course what she didn't know was that Josh used to take her up the towers for uninterrupted sex.

Josh started to laugh, "She was, huh?" Gina was shaking her head as the laughter took over and she started giggling uncontrollably. Josh started laughing too, and realizing that she wasn't in on the joke Missie just rolled her eyes and sipped her soda.

Their food came and they ate. When they got back to the complex Josh got Gina's number and Missie ordered her to come by her apartment after work for a drink and some serious girl talk. As she headed back to the office Gina could feel the butterflies in her stomach. Today was the day her luck had changed.

Couple Territory

Missie's phone rang and she saw Mike's picture on the screen. Smiling she answered.

"Hey you." Opening the office mail and sorting it without thought. She smiled as he quickly complained about his boss's rampage from that morning. He rattled off some smart comments that had her laughing so hard she had to sit the mail on the desk. They chatted for about ten minutes and one of the tenants walked into the office.

"I have to run, talk to you later?" She asked.

"How about tonight? Want to come over and I'll cook for us?" She smiled and agreed before taking care of the tenant's rent payment and filling out a maintenance request.


Later she pulled up her chat screen and fired off a message to Gina. Having a good day? She had to wait for a response. Yeah, I'm fine. I have things today but we should do lunch tomorrow.

Missie agreed and logged out to deliver the announcements about a scheduled parking lot re-pave. She'd love to just stick notices in all the POs but because so many of their tenants don't ever check their mail she actually had to take them and stick one beneath every door.

She was our riding around in the golf cart, grateful for the nice weather. She'd had to do this in the rain before and it sucked. She got to the unit that would be Joshua Greene's by this time next week and left the flyer. He'd get here just in time to find out what a pain it was to have to park in the grocery lot next door and walk over.

Funny that she met Mike when she did. It was probably good. It really wasn't a good idea to get tied up with tenants. That could get awkward if it did end badly somehow. She finished dropping off flyers and went back to her office. She more or less wasted the rest of the workday social networking and online shopping.

After work she ran home to change into jeans and a casual tee shirt before jetting off to Mike's. She grabbed a lightweight jacket on her way out since the nights were starting to get chilly. She thought about Gina and hoped that everything was ok. It would be good for them to have lunch tomorrow. Hopefully she would talk to her about whatever was going on.

She got to Mike's and hopped up the front steps, knocking once before he swung the door open and motioned her inside. He shut and locked the door behind her before pulling her in for a quick kiss.

"Mmm," she hummed, slowly pulling away. "Hello yourself." She grinned as she stepped away. "Do I smell pizza?" She peeked into the small kitchen and saw two small boxes on the table.

"Guilty." He laughed and placed a hand on her back as they walked into the kitchen. "I figured it'd be easier clean-up and we could watch a movie or something."

Missie shrugged and grabbed a paper plate. "I love pizza. I'm not going to complain." She grabbed a few slices and a breadstick while Mike poured their drinks. They settled on the couch and ate in companionable silence watching an old drama. When Missie finished she sat her plate on the edge of the coffee table and leaned back into the sofa cushions. Mike set hi plate aside and curled Missie up next to him on the couch.

She was watching the movie. She was even following along, but next thing she knew, she was waking up in bed next to Mike. She was in her bra panties and t-shirt. He'd taken off her jeans, and she was tucked into his side. Once the initial confusion went away she decided she liked waking up this way.

She snuggled in closer and pressed her cheek against his chest. Missie realized that she was getting dangerously close to couple territory. They'd spent a lot of time together over the past couple of weeks. And now he tucked her into his bed instead of waking her? he probably set a super early alarm so she'd be able to go home and get ready for work.

Missie debated getting up and going home now. She could always say that she was afraid that if she went back to sleep she'd have trouble getting up in the morning. She fought against her flight response and stayed tucked in next to Mike. He was sleeping so soundly. He probably wouldn't register if she did get up and leave.

Instead she snuggled in and let her self drift off to sleep again. Thinking about how much warmer she was with a man beside her.

Down Time

Missie groaned as she hurried out of bed and into the shower. Her apartment got so chilly this time of year. She hit the small space heater in the bathroom and turned the shower on. She rushed through her shower, knowing that if she lingered she'd be late.

She dried her hair and quickly did her make-up. She loved this time of year because she got to wear her summer dresses with tights and boots. It was usually only a few weeks for maybe a month that she could do that. Before long she'd be in sweater dresses or long pants and sweaters.

She opted to swing through her favorite coffee spot instead of fixing her own at the house. She was out of breakfast bars so she'd grab a muffin. Twenty minutes later she was tucked behind her desk nursing her coffee while she surfed her dailies online. She ran through the maintenance requests from the weekend before diving into her muffin.

The weekend had been a whirlwind. She'd gone home with Mike on Friday and spent most of Saturday in bed with him. She'd had yesterday to herself to catch up on her sleep and get some laundry done. Gina had gone to visit her parents yesterday and they'd agreed to have lunch and catch up today. She started a pot of coffee brewing when she realized that one cup wouldn't be enough to get her through the morning.

She flipped the switch and listened to it gurgle. The pool was behind the offices, and of course it was empty. She needed to follow up with Marcus. He'd been supposed to clean and cover it last week, but it was still open. The phone began ringing and she padded over to the lobby phone.

"Poplar Lane Apartments, this is Missy." She answered. The door rattled as a tenant dropped their rent in the drop box.

"Hi Missy. This is Joshua Greene. I'm moving in next week?" Missy smiled. How could she forget Mr. Hottie.

"Hi Joshua, what can I do for you?"

"Well, I'm scheduled to get in on November 14th but the furniture warehouse screwed up and scheduled the move date for the 13th. Is there anyway someone can let them in to deliver the pieces?"

"Sure, hang on one second ok?" She put him on hold and refilled her coffee cup before running into her office.

"Ok, Joshua. You there?" She grabbed her day planner.

"Here." He said. She scribbled a note on the box for the 13th.

"You just need to type a memo saying that you don't hold the agency liable for anything that happens during the moving of the furniture, have it notarized and drop it in the mail. I'll have someone there to make sure the apartment is unlocked.

"Thanks Missie, you're a doll." She smiled. He was a charmer. She gave him the mailing address and he assured her that the release would be there by the end of the week.

Missie drained her coffee and sent Gina a text. Where are we going? Surfing her favorite stores online to check for sales she made a mental note to find her water bill tonight. It should be due sometime this week. Her phone buzzed with a text.

Angelo's. I'm taking the afternoon and I need wine. Missie laughed and shot back. You didn't get enough alcohol this weekend?

There was only a time in the response, 12:15. that was fine with Missie. She loved Angelo's pizza and she'd have left overs enough for at least two meals.

It was twenty after when she pulled into the lot at Angelo's but Gina was still in her car so she couldn't have been there too long. Missie pulled in next to her and grabbed her purse. Gina emerged from her car less put-together than Missie had ever seen her. She wore blue jeans tucked into cowboy boots, her hair was up in a messy pony and she wore a short tailed graphic tee that had "that's what she said" written across the front of it.

Missie stopped short and pulled her sunglasses off of her face, trying to pick her jaw up. Gina's huge aviator's covered most of her face but her glossed lips pursed before she said, "Just leave it alone today." She walked ahead of Missie into Angelo's and Missie just shook her head as she followed behind.

There would be an explanation later. Missie settled in across from Gina and ordered a diet coke, while Missie got a water and a glass of the house red. The two talked about nothing. Gina didn't ask about Mike so Missie didn't bring him up. Gina talked about her parents and Missie talked about the bar. Gina ordered another glass and they finished their meal. While they were waiting for the check Gina sighed.

"You know Missie. I'm just tired. I'm tired of waiting for something to happen." Missie sighed, settling back into the booth. Whatever happened to Gina must've thrown her for one hell of a loop because this wasn't anything like her friend.

"What can I do?" She asked. Gina shook her head and gave a forced smile.

"Nothing. I'm going to go home, get in my pjs, watch lifetime and eat ice cream, and when I wake up tomorrow I'll be fine." Missie just nodded and swiped the check when the waitress sat it on the table. Gina gave her a look but she just shook her head.

"Don't argue. I got this." They both laughed and Gina didn't argue. Missie picked up lunch and the girls went their separate ways, Gina to her pjs and Missie back to work. Missie wished there was something more she could do for Gina, but she was a private girl, and Missie was going to give her some space. She'd come around when she was ready to talk about it.

Halloween Edition

Missie worked a deal with Mark. He was covering the bar until ten o'clock and she'd take the mid-day management shift for him tomorrow. It wasn't a bad deal. It allowed her to grab dinner with her friends, then they'd come to the bar for the Halloween party, then she'd be able to sleep in some tomorrow, and she didn't have to stay up late.

Really, she was proud of working all that out. She rushed into her apartment. She'd gone out to but a new pair of tights because hers had gotten a run. She ran back into the bedroom and quickly got into her costume. She was meeting Gina and everyone else at the bowling alley in like forty-five minutes so she didn't have long to get ready. She turned on the curling iron and hit the faucet in the tub. She needed to shave and fix her hair and make-up before jumping into the Little Red Riding Hood Costume she and Gina had concocted. They'd decided that their group was going to stick with a fairy tale theme.

Gina was dressing as Dorothy, McKenna was Belle and her new fiance was going as the Beast. Stacey had talked about a lot of things, but last Missie heard she was going to be Rapunzel. Tommy and Kendra may show up. Mike was coming too. He knew Missie was going as Little Red Riding Hood, and he knew the fairy tale plan, but she hadn't actually asked him to go as the Big Bad Wolf. The plan was to drink beer, eat pizza and bowl a few games then Missie was going into work. The gang would likely come out there for the rest of the night. There was a local band playing.

She was changing into her costume when she heard Gina's car pull up. She pulled the red silky chemise over her head and went to open the front door. Gina had her hair in two braids and the store bought costume fit like a glove. She looked amazing. Instead of tights she'd opted for white thigh-highs with wide lace bands across the tops. Her red heels were four inches high. She breezed past Missie into the door.

"If you wear that no way you'll be going home alone tonight." She laughed, walking down the hallway to the bed room." Missie followed and laughed with her.

"Just wait." She finished putting on the piece of her costume. The nude tights, the cheap black underbust corset, ankle boots, and of course the red hooded cape. She swiped on another coat of red lipstick and turned for Gina's inspection.

"Girl, that is hot!" Missie grinned and grabbed her purse. The two girls bounced out the door and headed for the bowling alley. Most everyone was there when they got there. Stacey brought a few people from work, but they hadn't dressed up. She had gone with a Rapunzel costume though. She looked good. everyone did. Tommy and Kendra weren't going to meet them at the alley, and Missie was ok with that. She kept glancing towards the door to see if Mike had arrived, but he still wasn't there. She changed out of her boots and laced up the bowling shoes. She sat up and felt someone's hot breath beside her ear.

"You look good enough to eat." Missie grinned as Mike growled in her ear. He kissed her neck, it tickled. She turned around. He wore dark jeans, a white tee and he'd used some face paint to exaggerate his eyebrows and he'd let his scruff grow out over the past few days. Basically he looked like sex. She stood and turned to give him a kiss.

Mike hummed. "Nice." He murmured. "So are we bowling or what?" he winked. they broke off into teams and bowled three games. Collectively they had four pitchers of beer and three pizzas. It was about a quarter after nine and Missie started to switch her shoes.

"Gotta go?" Mike asked. He settled in beside her.  She nodded.

"I need to be on the clock by ten." She bent down to slide her feet back into her boots and Mike's eyes studied her cleavage. She caught him looking and raised an eyebrow. He just shrugged, making her laugh.

"Let me give you a ride then. Everyone else will be there later." Missie smiled and nodded. They settled up and went out to Mike's car. It was about nine-forty when they pulled up outside McHale's. Missie unlatched her seat belt and Mike reached over to pull her into his lap.

Laughing she went willingly into the kiss. she felt like a teenager, sneaking kisses. She placed a hand on his shoulder and pushed back. "I need to get in there. You're hanging around right?" Mike hummed and kissed along her collarbone.

"Of course." He let her wiggle out of the car and followed her inside. He grabbed a stool at the end of the bar while Missie got organized and clocked in. Their friends came pouring in and Mike joined them at a corner table. She mixed drinks and kept up with orders, but she was watching Mike watch her all night. She hadn't actually seen him since the night she spent at his place.

The bar slowed down for a few minutes and she called one of the waitresses to keep an eye out for her so she could run to the restroom. She made eye contact with Mike and she saw him excuse himself as she walked by.

Half-way to the bathroom there was a small closet used for paper storage. She ducked in and left the door cracked. Mike was ten seconds behind her. She pulled the door shut and turned the lock, pulling him into a kiss. His hands found her ass and hauled her up against him. She clawed at his chest through the cotton tee, trying to get closer. He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. he pinned her against the door as he devoured her with his mouth.

She felt the bulge in his pants pressed up against her tights-clad pussy. "Condom?" She asked. Mike groaned and released her. He reached into his back pocket and she unfastened his belt. He reached around to his fly and she shimmied her tights down around her thighs. She turned her back to him and bent at the waist, flattening her forearms against the door in front of her.

She heard the crinkle of the foil packet and then felt Mike's hands gripping her hips. His cock nudged at her pussy and he thrust into her wet hot channel. Missie groaned, biting down on her lower lip. They'd be looking for her soon. She pressed back against him and he pumped in and out of her frantically. She reached and took one of his hands from her hip pulling it around to her clit.

He worked her tight little nub while he pounded in and out of her. She braced herself against the door again and concentrated on keeping her moans low. He worked in and out of her and bent down to bite her ear lobe. She jerked back against him and her climax hit her. Her muscles clamped down on his cock and she felt him tense up behind her. She could feel as he twitched and spasmed inside of her.

He fell over onto her back and laughed. "Wow." He groaned.

Missie laughed and handed him a few paper towels to clean himself up and wrap the condom. She pulled her tights back up and took the wad of paper towels from Mike. He kissed her hard against the door.

She sighed and pulled away, slipping down the hall into the bathroom. She tossed the condom and paper towels and cleaned up before heading back out to the bar.

She passed Mike on her way out and smiled. He shook his head and ran a hand through his hair. Missie couldn't wait to get him home tonight.

The Sex Date

Missie was walking out of the bathroom when she heard her cell phone vibrating against the hard surface of her desk. She grabbed it and checked the message.

Can't wait to see you tonight.

Smiling Missie sat the phone down and logged onto her computer, shooting Gina an e-mail. I'm wearing the black dress tonight.

She'd had a lot of fun with Mike at the movie last week. She wasn't normally a cuddly girl, but he'd made it easy for her to relax. He had a sense of humor that put her ease and didn't let her take anything too seriously. His understated sarcasm kept her laughing and his smile was simply contagious. She was really enjoying him. Gina's joke last week about the sex date wasn't far off, but she couldn't get out of working Saturday night. Mike called her yesterday afternoon to see if she wanted to come to his house for dinner tonight.

When he'd taken her home on Wednesday she fought the urge to invite him in. They'd stood outside her apartment door and made-out like teenagers. He'd backed her against the door before they broke apart, and had he stood there for 30 more seconds before saying goodbye, she'd have asked him in then.

She was glad to have the time to prepare though. It was insane the anxiety that she felt, knowing that she'd sleep with him tonight. She'd woken up an hour early this morning so she could shave, exfoliate and moisturize. Not that he would know the difference for the most part, but it made her feel better.

She responded to Mike's text with a quick, Me too. Her e-mail blinked with a message from Gina. I expect details at lunch tomorrow? Missie agreed and went back to logging maintenance tickets. The rest of the day sped by with only a few tenants coming in to log work tickets or make payment arrangements for next week. It was crazy to think they were so close to the end of October. Halloween was this weekend.

She finished and locked up, heading home to change. She hit the door running to fix her hair and slip into the dress that Gina had picked out. She was going to his house so she picked sequined flats over the heels and wore her hair loose around her shoulders. She grabbed a jacket out of her closet.

She was supposed to be at Mike's between six and six-thirty. She only kind of knew where she was going so she figured she's shoot for the early end. On the ride over she listened to Meredith Brooks to get her pumped up.

When she pulled into the driveway she had to calm herself. It wasn't like he was going to jump her when she walked in the door. She touched up her lip gloss and fluffed her hair before getting out of the car. By the time she'd walked from the side driveway to the front door, Mike was waiting.

"Well hello," he flashed a grin and waved her in. She took a quick glance around the living room, not surprised that everything seemed to have a place. Like most single guys he didn't have an abundance of furniture but all the necessities. She could see the breakfast nook with a small table and four chairs.

"Nice place." She smiled and waved a hand around. He nodded and placed a hand on her back, leading her towards the kitchen.

"Thank you." He said, pulling a bar stool out for her. "So I'm not much of a cook, but I swear by Stouffer's." Missie laughed and smiled when she saw the Lasagna cooling on the stove.

"I love Lasagna!" Missie exclaimed. She was very excited that he'd fixed something besides burgers or steak. Most guys had a limited repertoire of dishes they could cook, but she certainly didn't mind the frozen dinners when they were this good.

Mike offered to take her jacket and purse and put them in the hall closet while she fixed a plate. A few minutes later they both sat at the kitchen table eating and exchanging stories about family recipes and holiday dinners. When they'd both eaten a significant amount of lasagna Missie sighed, relaxing against her chair.

"That was great, Mike. Thank you." He smiled and took their plates to the sink. covering what was left of the food and sticking it in the fridge he asked her, "So would you like to watch a movie?"

Missie smiled. She wasn't much for pretense, but she kind of liked dating a guy who was willing to take the lead for once. "Whatever you want." She said.

Mike nodded and dried his hands on the towel hanging by the sink. He grinned as he walked back around the bar towards Missie."Whatever I want?" he asked. Missie grinned but didn't answer. When Mike stopped in front of her she was eye level with his crotch, and she didn't think she was imagining the significant bulge there.

He held out a hand pulling her to her feet. "I think I'd like a repeat of last week's goodnight kiss, for starters." Missie murmured her agreement as his mouth covered hers. He placed a hand on her back anchoring her to him.

He took his time with the kiss. Enough time for Missie to let go of the butterflies and simply revel in the feel of his mouth on hers. She wound her fingers in his hair at the base of his skull, and he ran his hands over her, pulling her closer.

He changed the angle of the kiss, his tongue sliding across hers before nipping at her bottom lip. She let out a little moan as he trailed kisses down her neck, and back up to nip at her earlobe. Missie pulled at his shirt. Her heart was racing and the anticipation was building low in her belly.

Mike brought his mouth to her ear and whispered, "I really want to take you into my bedroom now." Missie sighed and nodded. He led her down the short hallway to his room and then pulled her back into his arms. He started with her mouth, but then trailed lower to kiss the hollow of her neck, and lower still to the swells of her breasts.

Missie reached for the side zipper of her dress and let it slide down her arms to puddle on the floor. Mike murmured his satisfaction and kissed along the line of her bra then down to her belly button. He held her in place with both hands on her ass and flicked his tongue out to lick a line along the waistband of her satin thong.

Missie shivered and placed her hands on his shoulders to keep her balance. Mike slid the panties down her legs and traced a finger over her lips before dropping a kiss on her mound. Missie's breath caught at the light touch and Mike looked up from where he knelt in front of her to smile.

"You like that." More of a statement than a question, he brushed his knuckles across her and watched her expression. Her lips parted on a sigh and she nodded. He placed his hands on her hips and encouraged to walk backwards a few steps until her thighs bumped up against the bed. He followed and began to place kisses low on her belly, his tongue darting out to moisten her skin.

Her hands were pressed flat on the bed behind her for support and she closed her eyes. His kisses trailed lower and he slid a finger across her clit. She was so wet. A second finger joined the first working around the little nub, and then he covered her with his mouth.

Missie let out a little mewl of pleasure and fisted her hands in the comforter. His mouth worked over her clit, licking and kissing, while his fingers found their way inside of her. Missie felt her knees buckle, but Mike hand was gripping her thigh, and lifting it over his shoulder.

With her knee hooked over his shoulder she fell back onto her elbows. She felt every pass of his tongue send a shock wave through her body. Her back arched and her nipples ached. he worked his fingers inside of her even as his tongue brought her closer to the edge. She didn't want to drop all of her weight on him, but she was growing weak with the pleasure.

It was as though he could feel her stress and, without ever separating his tongue from her clit, he lifted her ass up onto the edge of the bed. The new position allowed his to open her wider to him and he began to furiously suck at her nub and press his fingers in and out at a frenzied pace.

Missie cried out when her orgasm washed over her. She arched her back, pressing herself against him. He continued to suckle and kiss until she had ridden out the last ripples of pleasure and then he crawled up onto the bed next to her.

He kissed her, and slipping an arm around her he he removed her bra, the last barrier between her flesh and him. He began to massage her breasts as he kissed her. He was still fully clothes and Missie wanted to feel his skin against her.

Sliding her hands beneath his shirt she pulled it over his head and reached for the button of his trousers. She unbuttoned and unzipped then he helped slide them off, hooking his socks as well. He had an impressive cock. She reached down to wrap her hand around it and he moaned, "mmm".

Missie smiled and fused her mouth to his while he stroked and toyed with his twitching erection. His hands were all over her, massaging her breasts and her scalp, the pressure of his touch letting her know that he wanted more.

She began to slowly work her way down his torso, trailing wet kisses across his chest and stomach. When she reached her destination she was up on her knees with her ass in the air. She lowered her mouth over him, taking his length as far as it would go. Closing her lips around him she began to move slowly along his shaft sucking until she reached the tip, releasing him with a kiss.

She repeated the motion several times before Mike worked his fingers into her hair and eased her away.

"I really want to be inside of you." The words sent a jolt straight to her center and she hummed in agreement. Mike reached for a foil packet in the nightstand and quickly covered himself then rolled Missie onto her back. Leaning down to kiss her hard on the mouth he came back up onto his knees, bringing her feet to rest on his shoulders.

Missie felt him nudging her opening, and he pushed into her slowly, filling her. She shuddered at the sensation and moaned. Mike gave her a crooked grin before pulling back out to thrust into her again, a little harder. Mike slid his knees closer to her and held her knee against his chest. He began to work himself in and out of her, and she could feel the pressure with each stroke, bringing her a little closer.

She clutched at the pillows as Mike continued to move inside of her. One hand anchoring her leg against him, the other sliding over her body, and coming to rest just above her mound. He pressed down with his hand as he entered her and it changed the pressure. Missie gasped and her hips bucked towards him.

Encouraged, Mike began to thrust harder and faster, pressing against her just enough to elicit those moans and gasps of pleasure. She could tell he was close and she arched her back to get closer to him. He slid his hand lower to press against her clit with his thumb, and she whimpered as another orgasm overtook her. She bucked against him and her pussy milked his cock.

Mike tensed and groaned with his release. They rode out the waves of climax together and Mike rolled down beside her. He tossed the condom in the trash can beside the bed, and then wrapped an arm around Missie, curling her back into his chest. They lay like that, catching their breath and Missie dozed for a few minutes before rising to use the restroom and get dressed.

"Stay," Mike said. "I'll get you up in the morning in time to go home and get ready for work." Missie shook her head. She didn't want to ruin the first sex date with morning after breath and awkwardness.

"Not tonight, I really should go. Next time?" She kissed him, and he rested a hand on her hip, pulling her back against him when she would've stepped away. She smiled up at him. "Thank you for dinner."

"Thank you for coming," he laughed, "and for coming." She laughed and swatted at his arm. He pulled her back for another long kiss. She broke away and he began to kiss her neck. She was such a sucker for neck kisses. Before too long he had her back out of her clothes and back in bed.

Girl's Night

Missie's phone rang and it was Gina. "Hey girl, where are you?" Missie pulled the door closed behind her using her key to lock the deadbolt.

"I'm just leaving work. I need to go home and change then I'm heading that way. Who all is coming?" Gina had called her earlier about an impromptu girl's night. She was going to call Stacey and McKenna to meet them at the Tavern.

"Stacey is definitely in. McKenna is going go call me when she gets out of class." Missie tossed her purse in the passenger seat and started her car, rolling down the windows.

"K, well let me go, I should be there in forty-five minutes." Missie put the car in reverse pulling from the lot.

"K, girl. See you then." Gina disconnected and Missie tossed the phone in the console, pulling out into the highway. She loved this weather. She tuned the radio and breezed through traffic towards her apartment. She passed the office building where Stacey and Mike worked and smiled.

Mike had sent her an e-mail yesterday saying that he wondered if she might have a free night this week. Missie actually appreciated that he wasn't calling her everyday. She'd responded that Wednesday would be the best night for her. She didn't want to be out late Thursday again this week. She'd been crazy tired last weekend.

At her apartment she ran in and changed from her work clothes to blue jeans and a slinky black top. It was starting to get a little cool at night so she grabbed her jacket. She fished her sequined black flat from the back of the closet and went to brush her teeth and touch up her make-up.

She hurried back out to drive over to the Tavern where she was meeting everyone. When she got there Gina and McKenna were sitting at the corner table.

"Hey!" Missie exclaimed as McKeena jumped up for a hug. "I was hoping you'd be here!" McKenna used to work with Stacey, but she'd gone back to school last year and worked third shift as a night auditor for a local hotel. It was a rare occasion that she got to hang out with the girls.

"What's new with you?" She asked as she sat down. McKenna grinned and nodded to the waitress that had walked up to take Missie's drink order. She got a glass of cab and grabbed a menu. "So?" Missie asked again.

"We should wait on Stacey." McKenna grinned and lifted her glass of rum and coke to her lips. Missie noted the sparkly new diamond on her finger.

"McKenna!" She exclaimed. "You're engaged?"

"What?" Stacey walked up behind Missie, hands outstretched. "Shut up!" Kenna laughed and jumped up to hug Stacey.

"When? Tell us everything!" Missie said.

The four sat around drinking and giggling as McKenna recounted the past month and her boyfriend Josh's proposal the previous week. The girls gushed and congratulated until their food came. While they were eating Stacey piped up.

"So Missie, I heard you had a date Sunday?" McKenna raised her eyebrows and question and Gina leaned back smiling. Missie had lunch with her yesterday and filled her in. She hadn't had a chance to tell her about tomorrow yet though.

"I did. It was nice. I'm going to see a movie with him tomorrow night actually." The girls wanted to dish on details but Missie didn't give up too much. She was always hesitant to get excited about a new guy. When you didn't have expectations then you couldn't be let down, but you could be pleasantly surprised.

They'd finished dinner and ordered a couple of deserts to share when Gina's phone rang. She checked the ID and frowned. "Let me get this." She excused herself and walked toward the door to talk. Stacey shrugged and leaned back over the table.

"So McKenna, you gonna let me throw your bachelorette party?" She winked and Mckenna laughed. Stacey had thrown quite a few bachelorette parties over the years and they were known for being crazy nights.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." McKenna said. Missie laughed shaking her head. She glanced toward Gina who was ending her phone call and heading back to the table.

"Anything wrong?" McKenna asked when Gina sat down. Gina lifted a hand and shook her head.

"Nah, just a family thing." Missie nodded, knowing she'd get more details later. When they finished desert Stacey asked if anyone wanted to grab another drink but the other three girls declined. McKenna had class the next day and Gina had expressed her displeasure with Missie's outfit for her first date and summarily announced that she was going to her house to help her pick out something 'better' for her second date.

The four went their different ways and promises were made to get together again soon.

"See you at your place." Gina called as she slid behind the wheel of her Honda Civic. Missie nodded and got into her own car. She thought about McKenna's engagement and shook her head. She and Josh had started dating a year ago, but the time had flown by. It seemed like it was just a few months ago that she'd been gushing over their first date.

When Missie pulled into the parking lot at her complex she sighed. Could Mike be the last guy she dated? it was a strange thought.

She hopped out and met Gina on the sidewalk. "So who called earlier?" Missie asked.

"Kendra." Gina responded with confused look.

"What did she want?" Tommy's girlfriend came around every now and then but she didn't exactly buddy up to Gina.

"She thinks Tommy is cheating on her, and asked if I knew anything." Missie stopped short and looked at her friend.

"What did you tell her?" She asked. Worried that Kendra would somehow find out what had happened between her and Tommy.

"That as far as I knew he hadn't been cheating on her. Which is true, because they were broken up when you two hooked up." Gina shrugged and stopped by Missie's door.

Missie shook her head and unlocked the deadbolt. "I still don't like that she's thinking that." Gina waved a hand and started down the hall.

"Don't stress it. You didn't do anything wrong. Let's find you a sexy outfit."

Missie laughed, locking the door as Gina headed down the hall. "Subtle Sexy!" She called down the hallway and got a snide laugh in response.

She rolled her eyes as she followed down the hall. Gina would have her dressed up in satin for a movie if she didn't stop her. She tossed her purse on the bed and saw the silver heels that Gina had already pulled out of the closet.

"Heels? Really?" Missie whined.

"Gotta show off that ass." Gina cackled. The next thing to land on the bed was a black mini dress.

"Oh you've gotta be kidding." she moaned. "I am not wearing that to a movie!"

"I know." Gina laughed and tossed a cotton dress toward her that hit just below the knees with 3/4 length sleeves. "That's for the movie. The other is for Saturday. I figure that will be your sex date." She winked and bent down for the cowboy boots to go with the cotton dress.

Missie laughed. She didn't deny the Saturday night theory, she'd already considered it. She grabbed the cotton dress, hanging it on the back of the bedroom door. "Just help me chose some jewelry, you bitch."

Gina laughed and went to the jewelry box. Missie fell back on the bed and sighed. Hopefully she'd make it to a third date with this one.
