hitting him in the face. “Oooph.”
She stepped in and Kino held his nose. “I hope you didn’t break my nose.”
“ Me too. Sorry, some mother and son were gawking at me.”
She threw on a casual outfit of shorts, tee shirt and sandals. After making sure she had her purse and cardkey, she walked down the hall to Jessie’s room and knocked.
There was no answer so she dug her phone out and rang her number.
“ Jessie.”
“ Jessie, where are you? This is an emergency. I need to see you.”
“ I’m getting my hair done in the beauty shop downstairs. What’s the problem?”
“ Hmmm. I’ll tell you when I get there.”
She located the salon and found Jessie just as the hairdresser combed her hair out. “Jessie, I need to talk to you right away. It’s important.”
“ I think we’re almost done. Go wait in the reception area and when I’m finished we’ll get some coffee and talk.”
The hairdresser said, “Yeah, it’ll only be a couple minutes, hon.”
It was more like ten minutes.
The Seattle’s Best coffee shop at nine thirty in the morning was jammed. They took their drinks and sat at a recently vacated high table. After sipping her caffe latte, Jessie flashed a coy smile. “You know, Glor, from the sounds I heard from the next room, I would have suspected an orgy was going on.”
Gloria smiled at the foam moustache that rested on her sister’s upper lip. She took her napkin and gently wiped Jessie’s lip. “Very funny, sis. You know very well what was going on.”
Jessie’s smile seemed as broad as Hanauma Bay. “Yeah, I know. Sounds like you had yourself a time. Tell me, was Kino as good as advertised?”
Gloria took a sip of her latte. “Better. I forgot sex could be that good. But I didn’t come to talk about that. Jessie, this morning I screwed up.”
She giggled when Jessie wiped foam from her lip. “Tell me about it.”
“ As you might suspect after a night of hot blissful sex, I woke up in a fantastic mood. Maybe that was my downfall, wanting more of the indescribable feeling I’d experienced with his cock inside me. Kino was asleep and hard, having a sexy dream—I could tell. Wanting just a sample of what I felt last night, I straddled him and put him inside me— without protection! I never thought about it, yesterday morning, and last night, he took care of it.
“ Anyway, I was moving around with him inside me and, like last night, it felt great. Then he woke up saying ‘don’t stop.’ So I moved even harder and it felt heavenly. So great that after a few minutes, I came. The trouble is, so did he. I felt it inside me and pulled off him and he was going off like a Yellowstone geyser.” She touched her hair. “Even got some here. Jessie, he’d been asleep. I never thought about him ejaculating.”
“ Baby, aren’t you on the pill?”
“ No, that’s the problem. I’ve had some minor problems lately and the doctor wanted me to try some different pills. He told me to stop taking my old ones and after my period next month, take the new ones.” I put my hand on hers. “Jessie, it’s my fertile time. I just know I’ll be pregnant. I have a career and I don’t want to be a mother, let alone an unwed one.”
Jessie laughed.
“ Je-e-ess…it’s not funny!”
“ I know, sweetheart. It’s just that for such a smart cookie, you sure are naïve about some things. You were playing with fire and got singed. It’s not the end of the world. We’ve got options.”
She shook her head emphatically. “You know abortion is the only thing we disagree on.”
“ I’m not talking about abortion. First of all, you didn’t get his full load, and I’ll bet he came last night, too. Right?”
Gloria nodded. “Ah-huh. Three times all with protection. I had five.”
“ Good for you. That means his little tadpole thingy maker didn’t have time to rejuvenate fully, therefore, you probably only received a small percentage of the usual amount of thingys. This would
