Hi there, Tia 3 here. I'm shipping off to the armed forces really really soon. What I had hoped to finish is turning out to be a rather long story line. I do how ever want to share this with you. Hopefully I'll have more to add to this piece in the week I have left before my Basic Training begins, but if I can't get around to submitting more please understand. I hope this story what small piece of it that's available is of course enjoyable. Happy reading.
It had been a long day. It will be an even longer night. Geraldine pressed her fingers to her brow and massaged her forehead for the umpteenth time that day. Her back hurt. Her shoes were too high. Four inch heels were definitely not the proper shoe for a funeral but she'd packed her bag in a hurry.
Her best friend called two days ago in tears. Her father-in law had passed suddenly of a quick stroke. She immediately canceled work and drove from Connecticut to Georgia. She only packed enough clothes to stay two nights and it was back on the road again.
Gerri remarked after the burial how she packed her bag hurriedly. She laughed to herself about the underwear she packed, the stockings, shoes, gloves and scarves she threw in her bag mostly as an after thought. Her need was to comfort her friend.
Paula had met Gerri back in fourth grade. They were long time friends. She was the Maid of Honor at Paula's wedding. She slept with the grooms little brother with Paula's blessing. Paula loved Gerri and her ways but never understood her. Still with everyone around her she loved she wanted Gerri's hand to get her through this time.
Paula cried deep into Gerri's arms the night she arrived at Paula's home. She came to the door wearing jeans, sneakers and a hat from her collection of odd head pieces. She didn't even take her coat off while her friend cried on her shoulder. Paula's husband and his brother, Oscar, quietly went upstairs and made the guest room.
Oscar was speechless when he saw Gerri hop out of her car and embrace Paula. Her Coat was open. Her hat had bells on it. "What's up with that?" he pondered. Then he brushed the thought aside as he saw the curve of her bottom as she took to the stairs two at a time. She saw the bump of her breast when she opened herself to Paula. He thought he glimpsed the indentation of her nipple. "My father's just died." He though. "I should be sad." But his mind threw him back to how she milked dry him before his brother's wedding.
The day before his brother's wedding to Paula, he'd met this woman at the rehearsal dinner that refused to take off her hat. In this day and age there aren't any direct rules to be broken regarding hats, but he could not see her eyes. He saw that he liked her curvaceous little body. He was intrigued but her accent and was enjoying the small movements her hips made as she moved about the room. Her stance when ever she stopped to chat exuded charm, sensuality and confidence. Her brown skin could not help but be complimented by the light coral skirt and clearly transparent blouse she wore.
It was wide brimmed and had "nature" on it. Berries and twigs arranged in little bows surrounded the crown. The hat itself appeared pinned on as if what was under it could not be contained. She seemed a good natured person if on the eccentric side. Her brown skin practically glowed that night; she had thinly arched eyebrows, and a little pouty mouth with small lips. Her eyes beneath the hat were almond shaped and crinkled at the edged when she laughed. She was laughing at the moment, and her dimples appeared close to the edged of her mouth like little dots. Her face was relatively small though and round with a tiny chin above a long graceful neck.
His mother he could hear was telling her a story about her own wide brimmed hat, when Geraldine finally removed hers. He had been talking to one of Paula's cousins when it came off. Her eyes blazed into him briefly as she and his mother examined her hat closely. He felt the desire to possess her immediately.
Down her back fell a thick rope of locked hair, braided tightly. It hung to the middle of her back where at the end; the braid almost immediately unraveled itself. The wild locks of her thick hair were a show stealer. Oscar wanted to touch them. He wanted to feel their weight in his hands. He wanted to feel them touching his skin. He was almost angry that his mother was the first one to grab a loose one and rub her fingers over its coarseness.
He strolled over to be introduced. Geraldine immediately felt his attraction and began a sort of game with him. From the moment his mother spoke his name to her, the moment she looked in his eyes, touched his hands and repeated his name, she really wanted him. For Geraldine it only takes one good look. She knew how to entice a man. It would not be hard to make him want her more. She leaned into him the moment his mother turned away. She placed her hand on his wrist, the one holding his glass, "Tell me about George, I want to know what he was like as a boy."
"Why's that?"
"Well when they have children I want to know what's in store when I visit."
Oscar leaned into Gerri low enough to smell her neck, his breath hot on her ear, lips brushing the locks falling behind her shoulders daring him to touch her. "If they have boys they'll be a handful. A big handful, but they will love their mother. Most Southern boys do." Oscar stepped back to watch her react to his closeness. She gave nothing away.
"And if they're girls?" She placed her hand on his forearm and began to trace the muscles beneath his sleeve. It was almost as if it belonged there. She knew he had tested her but she would not let him know how drunk she became on his scent.
"George is a great shot."
