Chapter 14: Feelings

It was an experience that would make for a good conversation with friends, but Elvin didn’t think he would be inclined to tell anybody about this. It was unbelievable, and it was his joy, not theirs. No need to make anyone feel nosy about what he was experiencing.

“Every company is feeling it, Elvin,” Charles said over the phone. “Were you able to meet with the representative of the Green Height the day before the lockdown?”

“I didn’t see anyone,” Elvin said. “Did the company get any notice that they were already there?”

“Not exactly. Just that, Green Height said their representative would be there at a particular time. Did you get there at the exact time?”

“Yes. I did. I waited, but I saw no one, but…” his voice trailed off. No need for Charles to know that he met a lady that night.

“But what?”

“Nothing.”

“Come on, man,” Charles said. “I know you’re trying to process something. Just say it.”

Not in this case, he won’t.

“I was wondering maybe, if there was a likelihood they thought I wouldn’t be coming, and they left on time,” Elvin lied.

“A different scenario. Well, that’s possible.”

Elvin was glad that worked.

“Well, I got more shopping to do before they lock us back in,” Charles said. “No deaths have been recorded. Weird. They just insist that we all remain inside for our own safety. No deaths, and they don’t want to talk further on this mystery epidemic. I think it’s silly how they are handling it.”

“Does it have a name?” Elvin asked.

“No. They don’t even have a name for it. But they have it well contained that it hasn’t crossed into any other state, or city. That, I recommend them for, but well…I don’t even know.”

“We’ll be fine. Hopefully, before it’s over, we’ll know what it is.” But Elvin wasn’t sure he wanted it to be over. If it came to an end, he wondered if he would see Eve again. She had been a light in the darkest period in his life. Sure, he had thought wrong about her the first time. That was very wrong of him, and he had apologized for it. But he didn’t want the experience to end.

“Keep me posted,” Elvin said. “I need to head home. I’m on the side of the road. Just had to call you to know how the company was doing.”

“That’s thoughtful of you,” Charles said. “I sure will keep you posted.”

“Later, man.”

“Yeah. Later.”

Elvin drove into his home garage some minutes later. Eve walked into the garage like she had been waiting and watching for him by the window, and she was in a towel. Her sight caused a stirring in Elvin, and he felt his sex go hard between his legs.

He shook his head as he opened the trunk. He had seen other beautiful ladies outside, so many with curves too, but he had not felt any stirring towards them. Maybe, it was because he hadn’t tasted their secrets. But he highly doubted that.

Eve helped him take in some of the things he bought, and she was pleased he got some of the things she texted him to buy. He carried the weightier things inside, lightly trailing behind her, his eyes on her back.

He had been having all of her, still, he wanted more. What she did to him…

Eve tried some of the clothes Elvin bought for her, but there were barely any clothes for covering, because they were revealing enough to showcase everything she had underneath. He loved how her nipples pushed against the dress, his eyes settled between her legs when she turned to face him.

“What do you think?” Eve asked.

“Honest answer,” Elvin said, “you look more tempting.”

He looked at her to see her gaze was locked between his legs. He crossed his legs to hide the embarrassing bulge, and Eve smiled.

“Someone is straining between your legs,” Eve said, barely subtle. “I see you just got an outfit that I get to use to sexually torture you with.”

And yes, he had. “That was the point,” Elvin said. “I just thought you walking naked around the house was odd. Normally, when there wants to be sex between two people, clothes are taken off. I just wanted you in some clothing, so I’ll be able to take it off when I do get to make love to you.”

“Wait.”

Elvin waited, not having time to reflect on the last thing he had said.

“You said sex, then you said make love to me,” Eve said. “Are we dating? I didn’t know you asked me out.”

Classy, Elvin. Real classy. “I guess I can no longer hide it,” Elvin said. “I think I like you. No. I more than like you. I see how you cause stirrings in me. I see the way you make me feel. Really, I can’t deny these feelings. I know it doesn’t have to be about sex always. I want to look at you, hold and touch you. I want to admire you, kiss you, and make you feel alive as you make me feel alive. You blind me to other pleasures out there. The only fun I want to have is with you. So, yeah. I’m in love with you.”

Eve looked at him awkwardly. “Where did that come from?” she asked.

Surely, she should have noticed it. She was only torturing him. Yes, that was what this was.

“Yes, Elvin?” Eve asked.

“My heart,” Elvin said. “I know you’re nursing a heartbreak. This may be too soon, but please, don’t give me an answer now. Do consider it. I can’t say definitely, nor do I want to ruin this. I want this to go on forever.”

“So, it’s the sex, then?”

Elvin shook his head. “No. It’s more than that. These things are hard to explain. But I’m not here to play with your feelings. I’m not here to make you feel insignificant. I need you by my side, and I need this for a lifestyle.”
