made me the woman I am today and I don’t know if I can be both mother and father. So, I’m petrified, but besides all of that I am thrilled beyond words. The second I saw that little flicker on the screen my perspective and my world changed. That heartbeat is a little piece of Heaven residing in a tiny body. I love this baby so much already and I cannot even imagine what I am going to feel once they are here.”
A single tear falls down Noelle’s face. Smiling, she pulls me into a hug. “I am so proud of you. So proud. I know you are going to be a great mother and please know I am here for you.” She pulls back but still holds onto my arms. “I will always be there. I can be the other parent. I’ll get up in the middle of night, hold them while you shower, and hold you when times get too tough. I love you so much Erin and I’m going to love that baby just as much if not more.”
“Thank you.” I say bringing her back into an embrace.
“That’s hot ladies, you should make out!” Some young kid from the nearby high school says from behind us. Noelle lets me go and spins around.
“Oh, yea little boy? Are we giving you a stiffy? I bet you can’t wait to get home and pull out old Rosey Palm and give that small dick a few tugs since that’s all the action you will probably ever get. Get a life loser.”
His friends shove him through the revolving door making fun of him more and we head to our cars and say goodbye, making plans to have dinner together tonight.
Alone in my car I start to think about how things are going to be. In just under two months I will be back at school teaching. Who would have thought from the last day of school, to the upcoming first day of the new year, how much my life would change? I knew that this summer was going to be different from the moment I walked into Robert’s room that day, but I would have never thought this. Thinking back, I wonder if I had the chance to do it over, would I not sleep with Walker. The answer is quick. No . I would still do it. It was the most amazing night of my life. I only regret not having a way to get a hold of him, which I knew would happen the moment I left his hotel room. I don’t know if he is the type of guy I want to spend my life with but I’m sad that he won’t know he has a child out there and that our baby won’t benefit from his presence.
M y body is on fire. His hands reach down between my legs and I can’t help but scream out in ecstasy. “Walker!”
“I’m here baby. Give in. Give it all to me.” His growl resonates through the room.
I’m almost there. My body craving the release his hands are holding back, torturing me. “Please Walker, let me come.” I say hoping he will comply.
“What do you want? Faster, sweet thing? You like it fast? And hard?” He asks, his hands moving at a rapid pace bringing me to the brink before he slows down, causing a frustrated groan to escape my lips.
“Walker, NOW!” I yell.
His fingers glide in and out of me. I’m there. Just a few more times and the release I am longing for will be mine. My body is glistening with sweat, bowing off the bed, pushing further onto his hand. Waves of ecstasy wash over me from my toes to my fingertips as I try to ride the orgasm out, but it’s out of reach. My body screaming, I search for Walker but he is no longer there. I move my body in sync with the penetration I was just feeling but it’s gone. “No!” I say aloud to the darkened room. “No!”
The bright sun awakens me from my dream. This is the sixth one this summer. Every time I wake up in a sweat and heatedly reach for the vibrator. My pregnancy hormones are out of control and these dreams aren’t helping. I want sex and I want it now. My body craves it. But not just the act. It wants Walker, and I can’t fulfill its needs. He is gone and my body will never feel his touch again.
Flipping the switch to “on” I replay my dream getting release that is only half fulfilling.
