G is for Gerry (Men of ALPHAbet Mountain)

“I got used to calling him Captain when I fed him, just as a silly thing for myself. I lived alone and had to entertain myself somehow. Then, one day, I was watching a history channel show on the Clovis I, the man that is seen as the first king of what would become France. I had the cat in my lap, and I said, ‘You should have been named Clovis,’ and he meowed and, for the first time, showed me his belly. So, I changed his name.”

“That. Is. Adorable,” she said, enunciating each word. “Seriously, that is absolutely precious. How old is he now?”

“Four.”

“So cute. I can’t wait to meet him.”

“Well,” I said, “you could come with me. I have to check on him and make sure he’s doing well. You could come over to my place and hang out with me, and I can bring you back later on.”

“As much as I would love to, I have some content that I have not caught up on editing, and it needs to go up today.”

“Ahh,” I said, trying not to feel too disappointed.

“I’m sorry,” she said, and I could see she really meant it. “I also need to email that sponsor back that messaged me before I left for Nashville. I hope the offer is still good.”

“Sure, sure,” I said. “Is there anything I can do to help?”

“Not today,” she said. “Just doing my videos from here today. But thank you.”

“Of course. Anytime.”

“When can I see you again?” she asked. “You know me, my schedule is kind of open. But I understand you have to work.”

“As much as I would like to spend all my time naked in bed with you,” I said, “yes, I must work. How does later this week sound? I can do most of my work early in the week and then I’ll have some light days near the end and Wendy can take care of most of it. What do you say?”

“You’re still going to text me, right?” she asked.

“I’ll start when I get home, and by the time I see you again, you will hate the sound of your phone,” I said. “But when I do see you again, we are going on a real date.”

“Oh, are we?”

“Assuming you would agree to one,” I said.

“Yes,” she said. “Now, go feed your Captain Max Clovis.”

“That’s a new one,” I said, grinning.

I kissed her again, brushing my lips against hers before pressing them deep. I would never stop enjoying those kisses.

Rolling out of the bed, I got dressed and then kissed her once more before going out to my car and getting in. She came to her window and peeked out, taking a moment to look left and right and make sure there were no other viewers before throwing the curtains open. She was still stark naked, and I laughed as my cock twitched in my pants. I blew her a kiss, and she visibly giggled before pulling the curtains closed yet again.

Shaking my head, I started the car and backed out and onto the road. By the time I got home, Clovis was standing by his food bowl, looking rather irritable. Food had been deposited into it at the appropriate times, but there had been a catastrophic lack of treats. Catastrophic enough that he had apparently taken it upon himself to find a bag that had a few left in it that I had stored on top of the microwave and tossed it to the floor to dig through.

“Good afternoon, Captain,” I said, coming into the room to a loud meow. “I have another bag just over here, where you couldn’t get to it.”

Pulling the bag out of a cabinet, I opened it up and dumped a few treats on the ground. Meowing all the way over, as if to inform me of just how disappointed he was in my tardiness, the cat padded over to eat them while I stepped aside.

“I have a friend who may be coming over soon,” I said as I went around the kitchen, putting a few things away and pulling out a plate for my upcoming sandwich. “A lady friend. I think you should get used to that idea.”

He meowed in response as he finished off his treats.

“If all goes well, she will be seeing a lot of you,” I continued. “Now, if you are quite satisfied, I have a phone call to make.”

He mewed disinterestedly.

“Fantastic,” I said.

Snapping off the customary salute, I walked away from the now sated cat and headed into my bedroom.

I went to my dresser and pulled out a pair of shorts and socks. I had every intention of getting a workout in after my phone call and wanted to be prepared. Setting up the clothes I would wear after the workout in the bathroom, I sat down on the bed. Pulling out my phone, I saw that she had responded to the text message I had sent her as I pulled into my driveway. Heart emojis. I was starting to really enjoy seeing heart emojis.
