It's really strange when you are newly divorced the small things you got so used to while married that you miss the most. One thing my ex always did was get up before me and start a pot of coffee. Since I've been on my own I haven't awakened to the smell of freshly brewed coffee.
I smiled when the aroma of hot coffee woke me this morning. Kay was missing from my side having slipped out of bed to start the java.
I got up and pulled on a pair of boxers and walked toward the kitchen.
"Morning babe the coffee smells excellent." I said.
I stepped into the doorway of the kitchen expecting to see my hot mature minx taking care of business.
All I found was a pot of coffee and a hand written note folded perfectly with "Allen" written on the front.
I poured myself a cup of black coffee and walked across the living room and out onto my balcony.
Opening Kay's note I read.
"Allen thank you for making me feel alive again. I didn't believe I would ever feel like a woman again until I met you baby. Making love with you is so awesome. I think I may be falling for you Allen. I truly hope you are feeling the same thing. Love Kay."
I took a sip of coffee and read the note a second time. Everything was fine until she admitted she thought she was falling for me.
I had just gotten out of a horrible marriage and was looking forward to a lot more than a relationship with only one woman. I thought Kay understood that but I suppose she didn't
I'd have to nip this in the bud even if I risked losing such a hot mature tart. I wanted to play the field so to speak and I'd hoped that Kay would be a willing central player. I'd have to talk to her about this when I got home from work that night.
I showered and got dressed for work and headed for the elevator. The car door slid open and I stepped into an empty elevator. Glancing at my watch it was seven forty. The elevator glided to a stop at the ninth floor. As the door slid open I was very happy to see Staci standing there.
Staci was wearing a black pants suit and a pale blue silk blouse. She clearly was headed for the office.
"Good Morning Allen." She said as she stepped in and stood beside me.
"Morning Staci we really have to stop meeting like this." I said referring to the other day when we rode the elevator together.
Staci smiled widely and in what I suspected was a weak moment she said. "Well you could invite me to your place Allen."
"I'll have to do that Staci." I answered almost certain that Gina had told her about the incredible fuck we'd shared two nights ago.
As the car slowed approaching the lobby Staci reached into her purse and handed me her business card. "When you're ready to extend that invitation give me a call on my cell Allen." She said.
"I sure will Staci." I replied.
As the door slid open Staci said. "I have to stop at the office and drop off our rent check Allen. I hope to talk to you again soon."
I smiled and replied. "Count on it."
As I walked toward my car I looked at Staci's card a rather simple design. In bold lettering it read "Wallmeyer Associates" beneath was Staci's name "Staci VanHolden" and her title Account Representative. At the bottom it listed her phone number. It didn't indicate if the number was office or cellular so I assumed it was her cell since she asked me to call her cell to invite her over. It seemed kind of strange to me that the card didn't list an office location. I turned the card over and printed very lightly was what appeared to be the gender symbol for a male, a circle with an arrow pointing up and to the right and the female symbol, a circle with a cross extending from the bottom. They shared the same circle. I found this to be extremely intriguing and knew I'd have to explore the meaning next time I spoke with Staci.
My day at the office was rather mundane with the exception that a few of the office gossips have been paying a little more attention to me since my divorce was finalized. I make a fairly good living managing the sales force of our company and I had to figure some of the office staff would be looking to move up the social ladder by latching onto my coat tails.
I was having none of that keeping the old adage that you shouldn't mix business and pleasure.
I worked late leaving the office about six thirty that evening. Driving home I thought about stopping to see Kay but decided I'd do better trying to explain my concerns about the note she'd left over the phone. Not having her exquisite body as a distraction would help me get my point across.
I stopped and picked up Chinese takeout on the way home and settled into a lounge chair on my balcony with a cold brew and my dinner. About eight the light in Kay's living room went on signifying that she was home from the shop.
I waited until eight thirty to call her wanting to give her time to grab a bite to eat and relax after spending eleven hours in the shop.
"Hi baby!" Kay said answering her phone knowing it was me.
"Evening Kay. How was your day?" I asked.
"It was fabulous Allen thanks to you." Kay replied.
"Sure was an amazing night." I said.
Kay giggled and said. "Amazing is putting it mildly Allen."
"Thanks for making coffee babe. I wish you could have stuck around to have a cup with me though." I said. "Me too Allen but I had an early appointment to show a lady a full living room set she's been looking at for some time. I'd have much rather stayed snuggled next to you this morning baby." Kay offered.
I laughed and said. "And I'd have been late for work if you had Kay."
"And I wouldn't have made the big sale I did." Kay added. "But it would have been worth it Allen."
I didn't know how to bring up her note and was hopping Kay would mention it first.
A long pause in our conversation must have prompted her to ask.
"Did you get my note baby?" Kay asked.
I replied. "Yes Kay I did."
Another pause as I struggled with starting to tell her of my concerns.
"Kay I don't want to get involved in a one man one woman relationship right now." I almost blurted out.
"Oh I see." Kay replied.
"I do have feelings for you Kay but having just gotten out of a messy marriage I just think it's better if I go it alone for a little while." I tried to explain.
"Allen." Kay said her voice sounding a little disappointed. "Are you breaking it off with me?"
"Oh my god no Kay." I instantly replied adding. "I just think it would be best if I didn't see one person exclusively."
Her tone changed from disappointment to anger. "So you want to be able to keep fucking me while you find other woman to fuck?"
"I...I....I...." I stuttered trying to think of how to answer that question without her hanging up on me. Kay's voice grew even angrier and louder as she said. "You think I'm gonna sit here waiting for you to call me to stop by and throw a quick fuck into me Allen."
"No Kay." I said. But before I could continue she said.
"Your god damn right I'm not Allen." Kay answered.
I tried to calm her down saying. "But Kay your note said you thought you're falling for me."
"Yeah so?" Kay replied adding. "I didn't mean I want to get married. I just wanted you to know that I'm willing to try anything you want me to try Allen."
"Really?" I asked.
Kay laughed before she continued. "Allen the last thing I need in my life now is a husband. I had one of those remember? He was a wonderful man and kept me happy all my life but like any man he had his idiosyncrasies and I'm sure you do also."
"You have no idea baby." I answered thinking of some of my own little quirks.
Kay continued. "I think we both know that sex together is amazing and I especially love doing my exhibitionist shows for you baby."
"I do too Kay." I said.
"I suppose I could have worded my note so it would have been more clearly that I'd love to explore everything we can come up with sexually Allen." Kay said.
"Okay." I answered then added. "What kind of things were you thinking of babe?"
