Knowing they had to get out of bed and be responsible people, and wanting to do so were two different matters. For a long time, Kevin and Donna happily lay together in her Murphy bed, either of them whispering to the other how wonderful he or she was. If possible, they would have lain there together until the Twelfth of Never, which would have been a long, long time but, even if there were such a date, they had to get back to their more mundane lives.
"Kevin," Donna whispered. "That was the most wonderful sensation I have ever had. I felt as if I were floating, and my entire body was filled with joy. I still feel that way, especially lying here with you."
"That's good, Sweetheart, and that's the way you should always feel after making love. That's called cumming or having an orgasm, and I felt the same way, and still do." The term of endearment came out as naturally as his profession of love had earlier, and felt as right as everything else that they had just been doing.
"An organism? Will I always have one like that? I hope so. It was the most wonderful thing I have ever felt!"
"An orgasm it's called and, yes, I certainly hope you do too. And I hope you have many more of them with me, for the rest of out lives."
He wasn't actually proposing marriage, but he had already thought about spending the rest of his life with the delightful woman who was cuddling in bed with him. Those thoughts always made Kevin feel warm and comfortable all over, and they were doing it then, because that was truly what he wanted to do. However, even if he had been willing to get married again, particularly to somebody he had known for such a short time, his divorce from Carla, his first wife, wouldn't become final for more than six months.
Kevin and Donna were both feeling warm and comfortable all over, in the afterglow of making slow, sweet love, but they finally forced themselves to get out of bed. Unabashedly, the two completely nude people, neither of them wanting to keep anything from the other, slid off the mattress to stand on the worn carpet and began trying to put their clothing back on. They were very pleasantly hampered in this effort because they - literally - couldn't keep their hands off each other, nor did they want to.
Either of them had been deprived of any romance or even any adult affection since the ends of their respective marriages, and neither had received more than a minimum of that vital essence even while married. The two happy people continued stroking and caressing each other, tenderly and lovingly, although not especially erotically. They had spent the last few hours doing a lot of the latter, and they were tacitly looking forward to doing even more in the very near future, and every time after that they could. However, right at that moment, they had certain very important responsibilities to be fulfilled.
In spite of the distractions, Donna eventually got her panties and Bermuda shorts back on while Kevin was donning his boxer shorts and jeans. She handed him her bra and turned her back, wanting him to hook her bra behind her. Instead, he snuggled up next to her voluptuous ass and reached around to gently squeeze her lovely plump breasts.
Donna giggled. "No, Silly. I want you to hook my bra for me." However, she made no effort to push his hands away from where they were fondling her.
Reluctantly, he removed them, and set het bra where he thought it should go. Donna adjusted it and nestled her breasts into the cups while Kevin looked at the hooks and tried to figure out how to connect them. It was actually quite simple and he was reasonably intelligent, so he was able to solve the puzzle and complete the task in slightly more than a minute. She turned to face him, and the two newly-minted lovers spent another long time hugging and kissing and caressing before resuming their dressing. He put his shirt back on while she slipped into her blouse and they both went to sit on the love seat to put their shoes on. Because of the many fond memories already adhering to that old piece of furniture, this may have been a mistake, and there were a multitude of kisses and much more fondling before they were finally ready to leave.
On the familiar drive to Kevin's apartment, Donna sat in her bucket seat and leaned toward him, her head resting on his shoulder and her hands on his thigh. He leaned in her direction as much as safety would permit, wanting to make his shoulder as available as possible and to smell her hair, which he found extremely pleasing. They talked openly of the love either of them felt for the other and had confessed, but Kevin also made a more practical suggestion.
"If Fred or Wilma asks, which I don't think they will, we have to be able to tell them which movie we'll pretend we went to. I don't really like the idea of lying to them, because they are so nice, but I also don't want to scandalize them either."
The conspirators decided on a movie they had both seen, which was the appropriate length and had been advertised in the newspaper they had scanned before leaving the apartment. Both of them were quite sure there would be no interrogation, but they wanted to get their stories straight, in case one of them happened to make some observation or other that couldn't fit with what they had supposedly been doing. By the time they had decided what they would say, they had arrived at Kevin's apartment building, and he parked in the garage. They sat there kissing for several minutes before they finally got out of the car and Kevin escorted Donna up to his apartment.
When they entered, the volunteer baby sitters were on a sofa, watching a sitcom rerun on his television and Fred was drinking a bottle of Kevin's expensive imported beer. The greetings were affectionate and the questions minimal. "Did you enjoy the movie?" Wilma asked, and smiled at the affirmative answer she received.
"I really appreciate your keeping an eye on the kids while Donna and I were at the movies," Kevin told his friendly neighbors.
"Oh, pish tush," Wilma responded. "They're really sweethearts, and we're glad to be around them. They're both napping right now, the little angels. We put them down just before this show started, so it's been about twenty minutes."
"Besides that," Fred added, "otherwise, we would just have been sitting around our apartment and your TV is better, and so is your beer."
"Even so, I really appreciate it," Kevin continued while Donna smiled in agreement.
The sofa would have been crowded with all four people sitting on it, and Donna and Kevin preferred to sit on the matching love seat anyhow. The view of the television wasn't as good, but they didn't care. They were much too taken with each other to have any real interest in the antics of Hawkeye and Klinger and the other personnel of the 4077th MASH. The love seat was intended for two people, and Kevin sat leaning against one end, while Donna sat in the middle. The closeness seemed so right to both of them, that, almost reflexively, his arm went around her shoulders and she cuddled against him, without either of them even noticing.
Fred and Wilma noticed, and they both smiled, first to themselves and then to each other. Kevin was like a son to them, and his two children were almost as much beloved by them as their own grandchildren, who lived thousands of miles away. The only fault they might have found with him and his little family was that he was a single father, and they wished they could find a way to rectify that. Donna had made a virtually perfect impression on them and, in the absence of the younger couple, they had discussed the possibilities with each other and with Kerry, because Katie would have been too young to take part in what had already become a conspiracy. At the sight of their surrogate children cuddling on the love seat, the smiles of Fred and Wilma Brown became even happier.
Eventually, Frank and Hot Lips, as she was called then, managed to make fools of themselves, and the show ended. Fred drained the last of his beer and he and his wife got up to leave. They might have stayed longer, but they both wanted the relationship between their two young friends to flourish, and it could do that much better in their absence. More hugs and kisses ensued, this time also exchanged with Donna, whom they already thought of as their daughter, and Fred and Wilma took their departure. Back in their own apartment, they did the things long-term married couples do and discussed how they would be able to encourage what they saw as an extremely desirable budding relationship between two good people they really liked.
After the neighbors' departure, Donna and Kevin took off their shoes and socks and went to the hallway where the bedrooms were, to check on the children. The apartment had three bedrooms, and all the doors were open. They looked in the first one and saw Kerry sweetly asleep, his head on his pillow and an arm around his favorite teddy bear. In the next room, Katie was just as soundly asleep, accompanied by a Raggedy Ann doll. The third bedroom door was right next to Katie's room and, when they looked in there, they saw Kevin's unmade bed. With neither of them saying anything, their arms slipped around one another, and they tiptoed into the room and closed the door, wanting to avoid awakening the children.
