INSTALLMENT THREE
Uh
Hi Maggie. She wrenched her neck to look at a very
concerned Maggie. Long time no see , Brett tried to
say as nonchalantly as possible. She was
plainly embarrassed by her position on Toris shoulder.
Maggie
had been the
Excuse
me? Maggie crouched down to get a better
look at
Maggie,
Ive been fine. I have missed you also. I
was living in
Maggie
took her place in front of Tori and put both hands on her
hips. And what do you
think you are doing, young woman? Prattling on, am I ? How many times have I had to put up with your
nonsense throughout the years? I ask
you? Pointing her finger, she got right
up into Toris face. Why may I ask
are you carrying this poor child like this? Tori had faced countless enemies in the court and boardroom. However, she could never beat Maggie. Truth is she did not want to. Tori
loved Maggie with all her heart. Maggie had
always tried to give Tori the kind of guidance that she had
missed by not having her own mother with her. Although
Toris mother could never truly be replaced, Maggie always did whatever she could. By
the only way she knew how: giving Tori a love she could always
count on.
Well,
you see
uhm
. Its like this
as Tori attempted to pull an answer out of thin air.
Yes
We
went dancing last night. Ah
ah
yeah. Brett was looking a little pale. You
know some people cant hold their liquor well. Brett took that moment to slap a
very convenient backside. Ouch
I know its hard
Brett. You being a bit
small and vertically challenged. You cant drink as much as the rest of
us. Hearing Brett sigh in frustration, Tori continued.
So I told her she could sleep here. In case she got ill. Tori could hear Brett
snickering. When we got here, she said she was feeling a little weak
faint
even
Nodding her head hoping her explanation was gonna
fly. So being the kind person that I am
.I volunteered my services to get her
to safety. Smiling, feeling quite proud of herself. So you see Im really quite a hero when
you think about it.
I
see
Maggie started. Well. Since you are in such a helpful mood, Im
sure you would be more than happy to carry your charge into that kitchen over there. So I can get a proper meal into her. We
wouldnt want anything else to happen to her while shes under your care
Now would we? Maggie waited for the
slightest bit of argument. Upon not receiving any she continued,
Thats
what I thought. Turning, Maggie walked
toward the kitchen without another word. When
Maggie was far enough away, a smile made its way to her face. She had been praying that
Tori just stood there and sighed. Well Brett, looking
back. I hope youre satisfied. Cause
now, we wont be able to get away til way past
Brett
laughed in disbelief. Tori
it doesnt take
that long to have breakfast. Come on? Suddenly wishing she had not teased Tori so much when she didnt receive an answer
It
wouldnt take that long, would it? At that moment her
over excited libido announced its presence in full force. Sometimes the best-laid
plans can really back fire. Brett sighed in resignation to her fate.
******
Tori wasnt exaggerating. It was now
They
had spent the last few hours catching up reminiscing about the good ol days. But
two hours later, Tori was
definitely getting a little rough around the edges, losing steam minute by minute. Finally unable to keep her eyes open anymore, Tori had to excuse herself.
Well
everyone. Im sorry to have to leave this
reunion but I really need to get some sleep, Tori stated
in exhaustion.
Oh
yes, of course dear. Here we are chatting away
and the two of you havent even been to bed yet.
Maggie hadnt realized how true her statement was on both accounts.
Listen? Why dont you two head up and Ill prepare something nice for you
to have when you roll out of bed. Maggie
said with affection.
Thanks
Maggie. That would be great. Tori bent down and
planted a kiss on Maggies forehead. She
then reached for Bretts hand to help her up. Maybe
well see you all later. Tori gave them a wink. All
eyes met knowing that they probably wouldnt see each other for the rest of the
day
.much less the entire weekend.
Tori and Brett walked up the stairs towards the master bedroom and a
sudden shyness came over them. They both knew
what they wanted but neither knew how to breach the subject.
Tori was the first to speak.
Listen Brett
. I know earlier you and I were playfully headed in this
direction. Now that youve had some time
to think about it, maybe you would feel more comfortable sleeping in one of the guest
rooms? Ive waited a long time to express
how I feel for you and we can take as long as you want to move to the next level. Im in no rush.
Just being able to spend time with you like we have in the past few hours is enough
for me. Tori
wanted to alleviate any pressure that Brett may or may not be feeling.
Brett
was so touched by how giving Tori was when it came to her.
Tori, I love how you always take my feelings into
consideration. I dont think Ive
known anyone who made me feel as special as you do. But
to be honest Im in a bit of a quandary. On one hand, I really dont want to be
away from you. On the other, Im really
tired and I dont think I could sleep with you in such close proximity. I honestly want to be fully rested when and if you
and I take our relationship to the next level. Do
you think its possible for us to just sleep, you know like when we were kids and had
a sleep over?
Tori had to laugh at the shy inquisitive look that Brett was giving
her. Honey, the way I feel right now I
dont think Id be much good to you even if you wanted to move this to the next
level. Then giving Brett a cocky smile, she recanted her statement.
Ah
But dont get me wrong. Im always willing to give it a good
ole college try though. I do have a
reputation to keep you know. Smirking at
the tongue in cheek look that Brett was giving her while, she shook her head from side to
side.
Dont
worry heartbreaker. Your reputation is safe with me.
Brett patted Tori gently on the chest. She then took Toris hand and climbed the rest
of the stairs entering Toris bedroom.
Brett
sat on the bed and Tori went to one of the dressers pulling
out a pair of pajama bottoms and a cut off t-shirt for her, a green silk sleep shirt for Brett. She went into the linen closet in the bathroom and
pulled out a fresh towel, washcloth, and toothbrush.
Coming back into the bedroom, she went over to the bed and handed the items to
Brett. Sweetie
Why dont you
go wash up first while I go and check my service for any
messages.
Brett
got up and kissed Tori on the cheek. Thanks, Ill
only be a minute. Taking the items, she
headed for the bathroom.
