Falling From Disgrace
“This feels better than the tickling, smart ass,” she murmured and pulled his head back to her breast.
Adrianna’s sofa was not large but it was capable enough to hold two sated lovers after they finished having sex. Jack lay with his head resting on Adrianna’s chest, completely content to spend the rest of eternity coming inside of her and then resting on a pillow comprised of her fantastic tits. While her fingers scratched his scalp he hummed appreciatively. Then, back in his perfect Forrest voice he said, “Oh, I feel dizzy.”
Chapter 5
Adrianna saw Jack several more times over the next three weeks and in that time she had more good days than bad. On her good days, she felt optimistic about their new relationship and happy to have someone in her life. She hadn’t opened up to him completely, still convinced he was going to cut all ties with her once he knew everything, but it still felt good to share little pieces of herself with someone else after so long.
On bad days, when Adrianna hadn’t gotten enough sleep or was in more pain than usual, she felt hopeless and wondered if she should just call Jack and end it. She even spent the better part of one day coming up with a story about getting back together with an ex-boyfriend so that Jack would accept her blowing him off. The thought of not seeing him anymore, though, made her even more depressed, and so she didn’t do it. She was determined to finally make one positive change in her life.
The pills were still a constant, though Adrianna was careful not to take any in front of Jack. She always made sure to take them just before seeing him and they didn’t stay the entire night at each other’s places in the evenings. Adrianna knew he had seen the scar down her back since every time they were together they ended up naked, but he didn’t ask about it and she didn’t offer the information. The longer she could go without telling him what happened, the better.
On the bad days she would tell Jack that she couldn’t see him, making up fake plans with fake friends if he called. He would find it odd if she told him the only friend she actually had was Heather, the divorced mother across the hall. He would wonder why she didn’t keep in touch with anyone from school and that would lead to explanations she didn’t want to give.
In the time Adrianna did spend with Jack she grew to like him more and more. Not only was he sexy, he was smart, with ideas and opinions regarding everything from pop culture to politics, and as a business owner he was responsible and discerning. She loved seeing his silly side and that he was never too self-conscious when it came to making her laugh. He’d sing to her at the top of his lungs, make goofy faces at her, and quote ridiculous lines from funny movies.
The night of the Forrest Gump impressions, when Jack was leaving and he leaned in to kiss Adrianna goodbye, she had said, “Goodnight, Forrest,” to which he replied, “Goodnight, Jenny.” Since then they took to calling each other one half of a famous movie duo to see if they could stump the other one with coming up with the mate.
So that evening, when Adrianna’s phone rang and she saw it was Jack calling, she answered, “Hello, Farm Boy.”
“Uh,” Jack thought for a moment and Adrianna smiled, thinking she had stumped him. “Buttercup! Princess Buttercup,” Jack exclaimed, triumphantly. “Phew, you almost had me at that one.”
“Should I be concerned that you know The Princess Bride,” Adrianna questioned him.
“I have a sister, remember, Maude?”
“I do, Harold. What’s up?”
“I’m working but the bar is pretty dead tonight. Thought you might want to come down here and keep me company ‘til closing,” Jack invited.
“Does this invitation include free drinks?” Adrianna probed. She knew she would be going to see him but couldn’t help but tease.
“Hmm,” Jack said, “I don’t know. The owner of this dump is kind of a bastard and I could get into trouble for giving the booze away.”
“I’ll make it worth your while,” Adrianna whispered in her most seductive voice.
