The boss' wife (closed for Becaa57)

[Becaa57]

"I would like nothing better then to snuggle up together and watch old movies"

"Maybe one stormy night we can do that somehow?? Movies and microwave popcorn!"

"You know at some point me might need to talk about the elephant in the room. At the end of the day we are two people sharing a boat ride on a lake"

leaning forward and taking your hands in mine. Stopping you from rowing for a moment.

"I think best to leave the elephant sitting in the corner for right now, but I think we both know that we are way past just two people in a boat. What we are is yet to be determined"

"Just to be clear, I am rowing with my back to the direction we are headed, so feel free to tell me when we get near the dock so I can slow down"

"Are you telling me you don't know where we are going" Smiling at you, relieved that it comes so easily
"A big part of me wants to stay out here for the rest of the day, but I know you have to get back to work, and I have to go home start dinner"
"Go to the left a little bit, we are still a ways out from the dock"

Watching as you row, even though you've been rowing for a while, your not even breathing hard. I can't help but think that Steve would probably have had me help him row.

Sitting back, letting my fingers trail in the water, while try not to think of the future

"Maybe one stormy night we can do that somehow?? Movies and microwave popcorn!"

"nope, we can't do that, I'm too old fashioned for that!" I pause for affect, then continue. "I am strictly a popcorn on the stove with real melted butter kind of man" I love watching the string of emotions that flowed through your face as I tease you. It might just be the most adorable thing I've ever witnessed. You reach forward and slap my knee, hard! "oh, I'll give you five minutes to stop that!" The truth be told, I can't think of a more pleasant evening, but for some reason I feel the need to joke and tease and not allow myself to show just how much I want you in my life.

"I think best to leave the elephant sitting in the corner for right now, but I think we both know that we are way past just two people in a boat. What we are is yet to be determined"

"I guess as long as we keep trying to figure it out I'm okay with that!"

Watching you dip your fingers in the water, totally relaxed without a care in the world look on your face brings an inner peace to me that I've longed for. Somewhere along the way a couple of buttons have released on your blouse exposing a bit of cleavage that sparks a different inner part of me. I look over my shoulder and adjust the boat to the dock, this time without incident. "We have arrived, safe, sound and to the best of my knowledge dry" I give you a little wink as you sit up from your rest.

 

[Becaa57]

"nope, we can't do that, I'm too old fashioned for that!" I pause for affect, then continue. "I am strictly a popcorn on the stove with real melted butter kind of man"

"So Mr. Old Fashioned popcorn on the stove with real melted butter?? I haven't had that since mom made it for us kids"

The ends all to soon when you gently bump into the dock, tying us up to it.
Smiling at you
"Well you didn't want to crash again???"

You jump out, then reach down and help me get out of the boat.
Looking around

"Thank you for the ride!! I loved it"
Giving you a quick hug and kiss on the cheek.

"I guess we have to go back to real life now?"

 

[zach55]

"So Mr. Old Fashioned popcorn on the stove with real melted butter?? I haven't had that since mom made it for us kids"

"I figured I better let you know sooner the later what you might be getting yourself into, I like old movies, old music, and rom coms!" I proudly announce, pretty sure that you are the same kind of person. I stop short of proclaiming I've kept these traits hidden for too long, but again I'm sure it wouldn't come as a surprise.

"Well you didn't want to crash again???"

"For the record, we did not crash as much as we came to a stop a little sooner then planned!" The hug and kiss were sweet and very welcomed but they did leave me wanting more, but under the circumstances were perfect. "We still have to walk back to my car, and get you to yours, I'm not ready for real life just yet" I refrain from making any comments about your appreciating the ride, though I had to bite my tongue pretty hard. The walk and drive went by way too fast, with all the feelings of the journey home from a great vacation. I park in front of the bar since I don't know where your car is. I look at you and smile, "so is it okay to text you, or is that going to be a problem? Just so you know I get texts at all hours as my crew works all twenty four seven"

 

[Becaa57]

"For the record, we did not crash as much as we came to a stop a little sooner then planned!"

laughing softly. "If you say so, but isn't that the definition of a crash?"

"We still have to walk back to my car, and get you to yours, I'm not ready for real life just yet"

"I know, but that's us going back to our real life, this is the end for now of us together"

as we get to the bar, you stop to let me out. then ask

"so is it okay to text you, or is that going to be a problem? Just so you know I get texts at all hours as my crew works all twenty four seven"

"It's fine he never pays attention to my phone, and I sometimes am up in the middle of the night"

Before I walk over to my car I stop and turn to you

"Are we still on, for the moonlight ride on Tuesday night?"

 

[zach55]

"Are we still on, for the moonlight ride on Tuesday night?"

"Wild horses couldn't keep me away, we can figure out the details by text if that works for you" My head is spinning with excitement and sadness over our day together ending. Your words of "I know, but that's us going back to our real life, this is the end for now of us together" hurt to hear, it's why I was so glad you brought up Tuesday. Obviously we don't kiss or linger as you nod about texting and walk to your car. I pull away after texting my crew I would be in shortly, thankful that I had work to take my mind off of things. I park in the employee lot and go change into my work clothes, knowing I only have a couple hours left to work as I spent most of the day with you.

 

[Becaa57]

I sit in my car watching you drive away. Before heading back to the house I share with my husband, all of the sudden it's not feeling like my home anymore.

I put dinner in the oven, take a shower and put on clean comfortable clothes.

The rest of the night I'm very quiet, fortunately Steve doesn't even notice, he tells me a bit about work. Then heads to his office to "work" while I sit in the family room, searching for an old movie to watch.

I pour a glass of wine, and cuddle up with a pillow on the couch. Watching but not watching the movie.
on a whim I grab my phone and send you a text

"Thanks again for today!! I had a very good time with you"

An hour later he shakes me awake, and we go to bed.

Saying goodnight I climb into my half, push away his half hearted attempt for sex.

 

[zach55]

I'm going through the motions at work, as I keep looking at my phone, wanting to text you so bad, but every time I do I get pulled away, or chicken out. As soon as I get in my car to head home I take my phone out to text you. "Work was hectic, I kept trying to text to say thanks for the great day" I hit send and at almost the same time I receive a text from Bec, it's how I put you in my phone. Wow we texted at the same time, what are the odds? I think to myself as I anxiously read your text. I read it a couple more times before replying, "I think we texted at the same time! What are you doing?" I hit send and start my drive home, thinking I've been gone from home for like twelve hours and not one text from Irene.

 

[Becaa57]

I stare at my phone, I had just hit send, when your text came in. What are the odds

"Work was hectic, I kept trying to text to say thanks for the great day"

"I had a hard time not texting you earlier, I know you spent more time then maybe planned with me"

I think we texted at the same time! What are you doing?"

"I think we did, watching an old movie, you probably know, called an Affair to remember"
"The word Affair caught my eye"
"With a glass of wine, sorry no stovetop popcorn"

"What are you doing?"

 

[zach55]

"I think we did, watching an old movie, you probably know, called an Affair to remember"
"OH MY GOD! the one with Cary Grant? It makes me cry just thinking about the ending?" It's killing me not to drive to your house and sneak in and watch it with you.

"What are you doing?"

"I was driving home, but now I'm turning around to come watch the movie! LOL" I do voice to text while I'm driving, hoping you don't really think I'm coming over

 

[Becaa57]

"I was driving home, but now I'm turning around to come watch the movie! LOL"

My heart stops when I read that!!! Really OMG, but Steve is due home any minute.
Then I realize the LOL, he is just joking. Hmmmm 2 can play that game

"Ok, back door is unlocked, but you will have to be quiet"

 

[zach55]

"Ok, back door is unlocked, but you will have to be quiet"

Oh you little devil! I think as I smile as I text back. "send me your address again, I know the area, but can't remember the house number" Oh this is getting good! I hit send

 

[Becaa57]

Ok, should I end it, but nooo he knows Steve is home he won't come over.
"1300 Pigeon Lane"
"No bird jokes allowed!!!!"
"I should warn you, I'm not wearing much right now"

 

[zach55]

"I should warn you, I'm not wearing much right now"

"I was hoping that was the case, black is my second favorite color, nude is my first! Should I knock, or did you leave the door unlocked?" I can't wait to see which of us blinks first, but then I had a terrible thought, what if she is home alone and really expecting me?

 

[Becaa57]

I wait for his response, wondering
could I get away with this, if he shows up? Should I really unlock the door,
I'm changed for bed, but that doesn't qualify as not wearing much.
I decide to wait and see what he does

"I was hoping that was the case, black is my second favorite color, nude is my first! Should I knock, or did you leave the door unlocked?"

Oh!! nude??? No I couldn't do that even if he was going to come over. this is like russian roulette. thinking a minute

"Well sorry to disappoint, it's not uhmmm totally nude and what I have on is not black"
"Don't knock!!! He will answer, the living room is out of the kitchen turn right, lights are dim"

 

[zach55]

I slam on the brakes and put your address into my GPS, you're eleven minutes away. Fuck, am I really going to do this, I make it in ten minutes and I stop at the end of the block. My heart is beating out of my chest as I think I've lost my mind. "should I take my shoes off, and where is a good place to hide if he comes down?"

 

[Becaa57]

While waiting for you to reply and hopefully back out of this.
Steve comes in to inform me, he is heading up to bed. He has to get up early tomorrow for a meeting in town. A breakfast meeting, so I don't need to get up to make him one.
I say goodnight, we exchange the pecks.

I'm left sitting wondering what the hell I'm going to do. I'm almost certain that you won't come over, but if you do and I'm wearing my PJ's you'll know I was fibbing.

Looking at what I'm wearing, easy solution as I'm in PJ's a white cotton set, button top and slacks.
I just slide out of the bottoms, the top comes down just far enough to hide that I'm not wearing panties.
I go and ulock the door. Sitting back down with a throw to cover up
my heart pounding. I'm not sure what I want to happen
Then remember the door and dash to the back door, unlocking it, and turning off the alaram
back in the living room, fresh glass of wine.

Waiting....

 

[zach55]

"you sure about this? I'm outside your back door" my throat is dry and heart is pounding harder

 

[Becaa57]

Staring at the text.
Shit he is here!!!! Steve just went to bed, I can't let him in.
shit shit shit
Ok, think!!!

"Wait there, I'm coming out"

I go to my room,
"Steve, I'm going to sit on the back deck for a bit, it's a nice night"
he mumbles something

going to the back door, with the throw wrapped around me,
I open it

 

[zach55]

I cover my mouth, fighting back an embarrassing laugh. You are doing the same but fear and excitement is in your eyes, as you move your hand away and hold one finger up to your mouth. I follow you to a bench and we sit down, you lower your finger. "I'm sorry, I was just teasing and then I wasn't sure if you were serious, and I couldn't stop my self from coming" I whisper my face so close to yours I can smell your tooth paste as you very recently brushed your teeth.

 

[Becaa57]

"I'm sorry, I was just teasing and then I wasn't sure if you were serious, and I couldn't stop my self from coming"

"I was just teasing, and thought you'd back out of it!!! I guess both of us doing the same thing"
"He is in the house, so we do have to be quiet"

"What are you going to tell your wife?"

 

[zach55]

I nod and I put my finger and thumb to my lips and twist and pretend to throw the key away. You clamp your hand over your mouth and tears are forming in your eyes as you try not to make any noise. My eyes go wide and I mouth I'm sorry, which makes you want to laugh even more. It's like any really serious event that someone makes eye contact with you and you both crack up. "okay, okay, shhhhhhhhhh" that didn't help at all as you punch me in the shoulder and I bite my lip. We both take a deep breath and calm down.

"What are you going to tell your wife?"

"I work all kinds of strange hours and she just accepts it and doesn't even question it" Everything is a whisper now as our noses are practically touching, I want to kiss you so bad, but I need to get a sign from you. After the island, I want to be sure we are on the same page.

 

[Becaa57]

Thinking this is totally crazy, like we're teenagers hiding from our parents.

I have the wrap around me, but I know when I cross my legs, it's going to show a lot.
both of us trying not to laugh at this situation. Neither of us expecting that it would happen.

You answer my question about your wife with
"I work all kinds of strange hours and she just accepts it and doesn't even question it"

I nod
"Ok that makes sense"
'You're here, lets just sit for a moment enjoy the night"

Turning so I can lean against you, my legs going up on the bench. I know you can see them, but that's ok

"You know this is crazy right??"

 

[zach55]

Your head is on my shoulder as I wrap my arms around you. "this is so beyond crazy I can't comprehend" I whisper as the smell of your hair is driving me crazy, but at the same time just sitting here holding you is better then anything I can imagine. I turn my head just a little and kiss the top of your head, then I notice your legs and other thoughts pop into my head!

 

[Becaa57]

It feels so nice to sit with you, your arms around me, my head on your chest. I pull my legs up, so my feet are on the bench as well. I know with my legs up, and the blanket to the side now, you get a good view of them. But I don't mind at all.

"I know,, we really shouldn't, you shouldn't be here, and I shouldn't be almost sitting in your lap"

Thinking for a moment

"But honestly this feels so right, you know?"
