INSTALLMENT

Brett
snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Tori clear her
throat. She didn’t know how long she had Tori holding but it couldn’t have been that long.
“No,
you don’t have to call back. That is
really not necessary. I will just have to
explain to Magilla that our time will soon be over. That my girlfriend will be coming back soon and
then there will be no more room in my bed for him.”
Tori had placed an old jersey of hers on him, making
sure she sprayed him with her perfume before she left.
“Magilla?
Who is…?” Tori’s face lit into a huge smile as she remembered her
gift to Brett. You are such a goof ball
Victoria Hull.
“Oh……
Magilla… Well
you had better tell him to pack his bags. Because I’m certainly
not going to share my side of the bed with him also.
I can hardly keep from falling off as it is.”
Tori snickered knowing Brett would not be happy with
her last statement.
Brett
practically glowed hearing that Tori
and she would be sharing a bed. She was afraid
that once they returned to the city they would be spending many nights at their own homes. “Excuse me Miss Hull… Are you saying I
hog the bed? I thought I explained this to you
already?” Brett knew she had a habit of
squirming around when she slept. She
couldn’t help it if Tori’s body was like a magnet to her.
“Honey,
I don’t think your excuse of protecting me from the ‘Boogie Monster’ is
going to work anymore.” Tori really didn’t mind Brett snuggling up to her. There was no better feeling in the world than
having the love of your life sleeping in your arms or on top of you, as most often was the
case.
“Well
how ‘bout ‘I’m doing my service to the world’?” Brett replied.
“Your ‘service to
the world’?
How is you sleeping on top of me at night provide a service to the world?” Tori loved how her
little writer could always put a spin on things. Brett
would have made a great lawyer like the rest of her family.
“Well
are you or are you not, a top executive and a future CEO of an international
company?” Brett inquired.
“Miss
Montgomery… I don’t see what you are getting at?” Tori smiled and turned
her chair to look out of the window of her
“I’m
going to have to ask you to answer the question with a simple ‘yes’ or
‘no’, Miss Hull.” Brett snapped
at Tori leaving no room for argument.
“But
I don’t see why…….” Brett
interrupted Tori before she could finish her thought.
“’Ladies
and Gentlemen of the Jury……….. let it be known
that Miss Victoria Hull is a hostile witness.’”
Brett stifled a laugh when she heard Tori sigh on the
other end.
“Miss
Hull……. I’m going to ask you again, are you or are you not a top executive
of an international company.” Brett
repeated.
“Yes.” Tori answered simply
then muttered under her breath. “This
is irrelevant.” Just loud enough so
Brett could her hear.
“Did
you say something?” Brett asked. Knowing full well what Tori
had said.
“No.”
“Well
good…The point I am trying to make is…” Brett heard Tori
say “Finally” on the other end.
Brett
chose to ignore the comment, continuing even louder. “The point I am trying to make
is…that since you are responsible for helping to run an international company that
provides many jobs for people around the world, it is my duty to insure that you do not
get cold in the middle of the night. I take my
job very seriously and do not take kindly to people who make light of what I am trying to
do.”
Tori pressed the mute button, fell forward onto her desk and laughed
when she heard Brett’s excuse. She is too adorable.
“I
see.” Tori
replied releasing the mute button and tried her best to hide her amusement. “That is
very noble of you. I must bring you up in the
next board meeting. I’m sure everyone
will be grateful to you for providing such a service to the company. I think your father will be especially pleased to
know that……… since he’s on the board.” Tori heard Brett choke
back a laugh when Tori mentioned her father.
“Oh
that won’t be necessary. I have never
been much for recognition. What I do, I do for
the betterment of my soul and out of duty to the world.” Brett loved joking around
with Tori. She
never had to hide her feelings or put on an act. They
had an easy affinity with each other. For as
long as Brett could remember, they always possessed an unmistakable bond when they were
children. For the past few years, she had been
without this connection and she felt so blessed to be back where she knew she would always
belong.
“Well
I’m impressed. So if you are not too busy helping the world, do you think you would
like to meet me at the airport tonight?” Tori had missed Brett terribly in the last week and had not gotten
much sleep. During her time away, Tori had often found herself staring at the ceiling pondering how
she had gotten so used to having Brett with her every night.
Brett was now so deeply imbedded in her soul that any distance between them left
her feeling empty without her.
“You’re
coming home? I thought you weren’t coming
home for another week?” Brett was so
excited. She had not seen Tori
for almost two weeks and was just about to go out of her mind with loneliness. The trip was only supposed to be for a week but
then had to be extended indefinitely.
“Yeah
I’m coming home. I finished up early and
couldn’t stand to be away from you for another day.
So what do you say? Do you want to meet
me at the airport? I can have Gibeau pick you
up before he comes to get me?” Tori’s
heart picked up in anticipation of seeing Brett. All
she wanted to do was scoop Brett up and hold her in her arms for as long as time allowed.
“Oh
honey I’d love to but I have a book signing tonight at Doubleday on
“I’m
arriving at 6:oo. I could meet you there or we could meet some
place for dinner?” Tori
desperately wanted to see Brett. She would
wait for Brett for hours if she had to. Ooh
I could get my book signed. Looking over at the hard cover that sat on top of
her desk, Tori reached over and ran her thumb over the picture
of Brett on the back cover.
“Oh
baby wild horses couldn’t keep me away from you.
I was just dreaming about you before you called.
For my own well being, I need to see you.”
Brett’s voice oozed desire and it raced through the phone lines straight to
Tori’s heart meeting the passion that Tori had for Brett.
“I
need to see you too. I haven’t been able
to sleep a wink since we’ve been apart and my body is humming with need for you. I want you so bad, I could almost taste you.” Tori’s words were making Brett’s body
throb. If she didn’t have to get up soon
she would take matters into her own hands. Brett
turned to her side and pulled her legs up trying to get closer to the sound of Tori’s
voice. If she could, she would climb through
the line and fall into
“Oh
baby, you better try and take a nap on the flight home. Cause you won’t be getting
much sleep tonight.” Brett loved being
able to share her most wanton desires with Tori. Her relationship with Jenna always focused
primarily on Jenna’s needs and, not necessarily, on what Brett wanted. When she was with Tori,
she felt so pampered and loved. Tori allowed Brett to explore to her heart’s content. Yet at
the same time, she attentively showered Brett with an endless barrage of sensations until
the writer felt completely satisfied. Their
lovemaking was truly a give and take leaving their souls lovingly entwined in one another.
“I’ll
try honey. But you’ve got me so worked up, I don’t
know if sleep is going to even be possible at this point.
I love you so much I can’t wait to see you. I guess I’ll just have to
find a way to survive for a few more hours.” Tori softly relayed.
“I
love you too, like no one else in the world. I
can’t wait to see you too. I’m kind of glad I have a book signing though.
I’d probably go crazy counting the minutes. I’ll
see you soon love.” Brett’s voice
was like a soft spring breeze that swept through Tori’s heart.
She
held on to the receiver until she heard Brett hang up.
She had thought about Brett constantly in the past two weeks and had come to many
decisions. She couldn’t wait to get home
and put her plans into action. Every one of
her plans had one important element: Brett Montgomery.
A smile came to her face as she thought about the evening that lay ahead.
