Chapter 4
"Painful memories"
When Candy went back to their table, Terry was dancing with Susanna. William was eating his dessert. Candy had ordered a banana split. She sat down to eat he dessert.
- Is everything ok?
- What? Said Candy
- I was talking about the phone call you got
- Oh, everything is fine, said Candy
Candy's mind was with Terry's kiss, the wonderful kiss, her whole body was on fire. She was hoping the ice cream on her banana split would cool her down, but it was not happening. Terry and Susanna came back to the table. Candy had just finished her dessert. Terry looked at her.
- Dr. White would you care to dance with me?
- Oh, I'm too full to dance, said Candy
- It's a slow, said Terry
- Go ahead, said William smiling, then we can leave
- All right, then said Candy against her will
She wanted to avoid Terry, but it was like fate was against her. She went to the dance floor with him.
- Why are you doing this? She asked him
- Dance with a beautiful woman, gee, I don't know, I like it?
- You know what I mean… I told you I wasn't interested in a relationship with you, yet you keep popping up everywhere I go…
- You're exaggerating…
- The first two times I saw you again, I ended up in your bed…
- That's because you can't resist me, said Terry
- Terry, it's not going to work. I'm not interested.
- And I'm telling you if it's the last thing I do, we're going to end up together
- I don't love you…
- Whatever you say, said Terry
- Oh Terry! She said exasperated, you have a fiancée
- That can be solved tomorrow if you want…
- But I don't want to. I'm not interested…
Terry knew she loved him, he could feel it, but why was she pushing him away? The dance was over and they went back to their table and William stood up.
- We have to go, said William
Candy took her purse.
- Yes, it was nice meeting you here, she said to Terry, Miss Marlowe
- Have a good night, said Terry smiling, I'll call you for those receipts…
- Good night, said Candy
- Good night William, said Susanna with a beautiful smile, Dr. White
- Good night William, said Terry smiling
Candy and William left the restaurant and he took her back to Annie's place. She got out of the car and William walked her to the building door.
- That was a very nice evening, he said
- It was, said Candy, thank you for the wonderful dinner
- You're welcome
- I'd invite you for a cup of coffee, but my roommate just had a baby…
- I understand, said William, it's all right
Candy smiled and looked at him. She could move on with him, but she wasn't feeling the thrill she felt when she was with Terry… As William leaned to kiss her on the lips, she closed her eyes and responded to the kiss.
- Good night Candice he said when they stopped
- Good night William, said Candy
She got in the building and William left. When she opened Annie's door, she found her in the living room, breastfeeding Bianca Ann.
- So, how was it?
- I saw Terry
- Tell me you didn't sleep with him again!
- No, but I kissed him…
- You kissed Terry while you were on a date with another man?
- Well he kissed me and he was with his fiancée …
- Fiancée?
- Susanna Marlowe
- How is she
- She's a witch…
- You're probably biased
- No, if she were nice, I would tell you. She's a witch! I can't believe he's with that kind of woman! She wanted me to be her OBGYN if she and Terry decide to have babies!
- Oh, they're sleeping together…
- Don't say that! That's disgusting!
- You're jealous!
- I still love Terry, I never stopped loving him…
- So tell him, you told me he wanted to be with you
- Yes…
- So…
- I can't, Annie…
- Oh Candy! Said Annie sorry
- I'm going to go change and go home
- Wait, did William kiss you?
- Yes…
- And…?
- And nothing…
- Sorry, I thought you could move on with him…
- With Terry in town?
- In town? He's just visiting
- Not anymore. It turn out that he just acquired a pharmaceutical company here in Chicago…
- So he moved here? Said Annie, oh my God! He really wants you back!
- Really, then what is he doing here with that witch?
- I'm sure the witch is going to be history if you take him back…
- Well I won't!
Candy went to changer her close in the bedroom, then she came back ready to go. She hugged Annie and kissed her goddaughter on the forehead.
- Thanks for your help, Annie
- Posing as your roommate is fun! It makes me think of the good old days
- Yes, said Candy smiling…
Candy was back in her bedroom thinking about the past… Terry…
During those summer vacations in Florida, she was going out with Terry every night, they would either go dancing on the beach, go to the casinos, to the movies after a nice dinner in either a good restaurant or a small diner, depending on their mood. Terry would never come during the day, while she was working. He invited her to a small party at his parent's bungalow and that's when she met his parents.
- Mother, father, this is Candy, said Terry smiling
- Hello, said the mother smiling
- Good evening, said the father coldly
- Candy is from Chicago, said Terry smiling, you think I can go to Chicago University, father?
- Terry, you got into Harvard, do you know how hard it is to get accepted there? Said his father
- I was just saying, said Terry, it would be nice to be in the same city as Candy
- Terry, said his mother, why don't you go get a drink with Candy?
Terry and Candy left to get some drink. But the look, the duke gave Candy gave her the creeps. He didn't want her with his son. Candy forgot about Terry's father's attitude and had fun with Terry.
One night, when his parents were out, Candy and Terry were alone in his room, making out. Terry stopped.
- What's wrong? Said Candy
- Candy…, I don't want you to do anything you'd regret later…
- Terry…
- I've had experience, even with married women…
- Married women? She said surprised
- Yes… including your boss…
- Agnes? Said Candy stunned
- Yes…
- Oh my God! Said Candy standing up
- Candy, I just wanted you to know all the facts before we go take our relationship to the next level…
Candy looked at him, how nice of him to warn her instead of taking advantage of her. She just loved him more for that.
- Did you sleep with Agnes since we've been going out?
- No, I haven't. I broke up with her before I talked to you…
- What do you mean?
- Well I've been seeing you from afar, for a few days, with Agnes and the kids. I knew Agnes had a nanny, when she came to our bungalow without her kids… I saw you and when I decided I was going to try with you, I ended my little fling with her…
- You promise?
- I promise
- Thanks for being honest with me…, she said
They looked at each other and she approached him and she hugged him.
- Are you sure? Asked Terry
- Yes, I'm sure, she said…
He took her lips passionately. Candy, who was planning that night for days, only had a little dress on… Terry took her dress off, it had no buttons, no zipper, he just passed it over her head like a t-shirt. She took his t-shirt off.. He put her on the bed. He had his mouth on her right breast while softly pinching the other one. She was caressing his hair, her eyes closed; enjoying the weird sensation she was feeling going from her breast to her toes, via her private parts, making her feel dizzy in the head. Terry's strokes of tongue felt warm on her nipple, while the other hand was still caressing and pinching the other nipple. Candy had a moan of pleasure. Terry left the nipple to suck her tongue while his hand was caressing her pubic zone, going lower and lower, he felt her wet and warm which excited him more. He took her panty off, he took his pants off and caressed her private parts, while kissing her all over her body.
- Oh Terry… please, now…, she said
Terry kissed her and he took her virginity very gently… he had had all kind of women, but none of them compared to what he was feeling with Candy, she was hot, she was enthralling, she was driving him nuts. His head was spinning; the pleasure was making him go wild. Candy was afraid and willing at the same time, she felt a pain and screamed when Terry possessed her for the first time. He stopped for a while until she felt better and then continue, the pain mixed with pleasure made her go crazy…she was in harmony with Terry in their movements, their mews and finally for the climax, they screamed , their body was shaking, they had become one body… They screamed when the orgasm that hit them propelled them to the summit of ecstasy making them wish it will never stop…
Terry, breathless, took her in his arms and closed his eyes. Candy was still feeling the aftermath of the pleasure with little spasms. She had never been so happy.
- Are you all right, my love? He asked her
- Yes, Terry, I've never felt better
- Thank God my parents are out…, they would've heard us
- I'm surprised the whole world didn't hear us!
- I don't think I've ever felt like this before…
- But you've had sex before…
- Yes, sex… this was making love Candy… believe me, there is a very big difference…
- Given it was my first time, said Candy, I'll take your word for it…
They kissed again, Candy had her hand on his member and they were at it again… Candy left before Terry's parents came back at the crack of dawn. She had the day off the next day. Agnes was going to spend time with her husband and the children for the whole day, and come back late at night. Candy called Terry, who came to spend the day with her, they had a lot of fun.
Terry's father would see them together in Terry's room and he would say nothing. Or he would see Candy leave during the night. Sometimes they would be on the beach at night and make love while some waves would come and cover them. They would be so hot that they wouldn't even feel the coolness of the water…or just go inside and let the wave rock them while they make love…
Candy was happy, until one day, during a barbecue; Mr. Grandchester wanted to talk to her. Terry was at the grill making steaks. Candy had gone inside to go to the washroom, as she was walking back outside, she met Terry's father.
- Candy, I would like to talk to you please, he said
- All right, said Candy
- Let's go to the living room.
They walked to the living room.
- What can I do for you? Said Candy
- I would like you and I to have an understanding
- About what?
- About my son…
- What about your son…?
- He's got a brilliant future in front of him, he's going to Harvard…
- He told me, said Candy
- I don't want him to lose track of his goal
- I wouldn't want that either sir…
- I'm glad to hear that, because it seems like, ever since he met you, he's been… distracted
- How?
- By wanting to go to Chicago U instead of Harvard, for instance…
- He was just saying that, said Candy, he knows Harvard is the best university in the country…
- Did you plan to stay in touch after the summer holidays?
- Yes, of course, we got very closer during the summer…
- You're sleeping together… you do know he's a womaniser? He's had lots of girlfriend here before meeting you… including your boss
- He told me, said Candy who was getting annoyed
- Good, because you must know that he's only playing with you… having fun…he's got a fiancée, back in New York…
Candy felt like they had just struck a sharp knife in her heart. What did she expect?
- I want you to make him understand by the end of the summer that you're not interested in him…
- But I love him… and he loves me…, said Candy
- You're going to leave my son alone.
- What if I refuse…?
- I know you're an orphan…
- You had me investigated?
- As a matter of fact… you want to go to med school. You've been accepted in Chicago U but you need a lot of financial aid… I can pay for your school until you're done and any specialty you want, if you leave Terry alone…
- Don't do me any favours! Said Candy upset, I can manage on my own… I've asked for scholarships…
- That's uncertain… what I'm offering you is a sure thing…
- At what cost? Give up the man I love?
- You're young; you'll fall in love again…
- You're a very cold and cruel man…
- You leave my son alone, or I'll make sure your application is rejected in every university in the country
- Why? I'm going to be a doctor, that's not good enough for your son?
- You're not what I chose for him…
- I have no family, that's what you mean… but I can build one with Terry…we can make it, if we have the chance…
- My son is playing with you, stop making plans…and make sure you break up with him…or suffer the consequences… no need to mention that my son mustn't find out about our little agreement…
- Go to hell! Said Candy leaving the room
Candy was crying. How could this man ask her to do something so horrible? The summer was going to be over soon… she was going to spend her last moment with Terry…
They were on the beach a few days later, after making love and Terry was talking about their future.
- Terry, it's not going to work...
- What's not going to work?
- You and I… I want to go to med school and become a doctor…
- I want us to be together, you can still go to med school
- No… it was fun while it lasted… it has to end here…
- What on earth are you talking about?
- That I don't want to stay in touch with you Terry…
- Why?
- I don't feel the way you do…
- You're lying
- Terry, it's the summer, people have summer flings all the time…
- I thought that you and I…, started Terry
- You thought wrong, Terry… I need to go…
- Candy, it doesn't make any sense!
- It's simple, this was just summer loving… that's all… you live in New York, I live in Chicago
- I can come to see you, from Harvard…
- Terry! I said no! I don't want you! she said getting away from him
- Candy! Wait!
Candy ran away, and she went back to her bungalow. She found Mr. Bailey was there.
- Sorry, said Candy, I didn't want to wake you up
Mr. Bailey was looking at Candy, she was wearing her bikini bottom and a t-shirt that was still wet and transparent showing her nipples.
- Are you all right? Said Mr. Bailey, you seem upset…
- I broke up with Terry, she said crying
- Terry Grandchester?
- Yes…
- Why?
- Summer is over…, he's going to Harvard… I don't have my place in his life…
Mr. Bailey, took her in his arms and hugged her. He was in his mid thirties, very attractive… he was caressing Candy's hair as she was crying, before she new it, he was kissing her and caressing her breast. Candy was taken by surprise, and wonder how Mr. Bailey's hand was under her t-shirt and his tongue in her mouth, before she could realise what was happening, the lights came on and Agnes was looking at them.
- What's going on in here? Oh my God! You little tramp! You want to steal my husband too!?
Mr. Bailey let got of Candy, his pants already had a bump and Candy was speechless…
- Agnes…
- Don't talk to me, just pack your bags!
- But I… , said Candy confused, fine…I'll pack my bags and I'll leave in the morning after saying goodbye to the children.
- I want you out of my house now!
- But it's the middle of the night!
- You should've thought about that, before you slept with my husband!
Candy went to her room. It was no use trying to explain herself. Agnes was jealous because she was with Terry. Her husband was just an excuse, she was having flings, so did he… Candy's bags where done in a couple of minutes. She put some clothes on. Mr. Bailey came in the room.
- I'm so sorry about this…
- Are you really? What did you think was going to happen? How dare you touch me like that?
He gave her an envelope.
- Here's the money we owe you, he said, good luck Candy
- You and your wife deserve each other! Said Candy leaving the room and the bungalow.
Candy was able to squat an empty bungalow for the rest of the night; it was the middle of the night, the supervisor was no where in sight anyway…
The next morning, Terry heard from his father that Candy had been fired.
- What? He said, why?
- She slept with Mr. Bailey
- WHAT? That's a lie!
- She's a tramp, Terry, said his father
- She was a virgin! Said Terry, I have to see her...
- Terry! Leave that girl, she's trash! She doesn't deserve you…
- I love her dad! Said Terry leaving
Eleonor was looking at her husband with mean eyes.
- What did you do? She asked
- What?
- This has your fingerprints all over it!
- She's trash, Ellie
- How could you be so cruel? She's a sweet girl…ambitious. She wants to be a doctor…
- Well let her be a doctor away from my son!
- Richard, sometimes, I really hate you! She said leaving the room
Terry went by the Baileys' and he saw Candy leaving with her suitcase…
- Candy! Wait!
- What do you want, Terry?
- I heard what happened…
- That I slept with Bailey?
- Is it true?
- Yes, said Candy, it's true…
- You're lying… you were a virgin…
- Are you sure about that, Terry?
- What are you saying?
- That I've been sleeping with my boss' husband, like you've been sleeping with his wife!
- Candy…
- Agnes caught us last night and she fired me. I'm going back home. Farewell Terry, it was nice meeting you. You're a hell of a lover…
That was the last nail on the coffin. Terry was devastated, he just let her go. Candy burst into tears once she was in the cab. Terry…It was the last time she saw him… until that charity gala…
Terry was in his Chicago luxury apartment with Susanna, who wanted to make love. Terry had no intention of sleeping with her.
- My stomach is killing me, said Terry, I think I ate too much
- Oh my poor baby, said Susanna
- I'm going to take some Alka Seltzer and go to bed…
- I'll come and rub your tummy and help you sleep…said Susanna
Terry had no choice but to let her do it. She had showed up on his door step and planed to stay for the weekend. So he had to put his plan to conquer Candy on hold. He will have to find a way to get rid of Susanna, nicely. But for the moment, she was rubbing his tummy and he was falling asleep… thinking about Candy…
Terry went to the Baileys' bungalow very upset. Agnes opened the door and she smiled.
- Terrence! What a nice surprise!
- Where's your husband?
- Why?
- I have two words to say to him…
- But
Terry entered the bungalow. Bailey was sitting in the small living room, he stood up and Terry approached him and punched him!
- Terry! Said Agnes
- That's for touching Candy!
Bailey punched him.
- And that's for sleeping with my wife!
- She came after me! Said Terry
- And Candy came after me!
Terry punched him again.
- Stop saying that! He yelled
- Terrence, said Bailey, I understand you're upset… you have to face the facts! She was a tramp!
Terry punched him again.
- I wanted to marry her, have a future with her
- Well he saved you from a gold digger, said Agnes
Terry looked at her angry.
- I don't know what I ever saw in you! You're the tramp! Unable to keep your legs close and staying married to a man who cheats on you on a daily basis! You both disgust me! I'm sorry I ever touched you!
Terry left the bungalow and went to drink in a bar. He stayed there for the whole day, until his mother found him and took him back home.
- Mummy, he said drunk, what are you doing here?
- Taking you back home baby…
- Candy left me… she was sleeping around… mummy…I wanted to marry her, I wanted to see if dad could get her into Harvard, next year so we could be together… she's gone…
- Terry, it's going to be fine
- No! I want Candy!
Eleonor managed to get Terry in bed. She had a bucket near the bed in case he's sick during the night, and he was! She stayed near him and helped him out… At dawn, Terry was finally fast asleep. Eleonor went to their bedroom.
- Richard, he really loved that girl
- He's going to forget about her…
- I've never seen him like that…
- He's going to get over it…
- My son is suffering! How could you be so cruel?
- It's for his own good!
- Don't you think it would've been better for him to have the woman who inspires him, a woman he loves, a woman he wanted to build a future with? He still would have become the man you want
- She's trash!
- I hate it when you're such a snob! Terry is suffering and all you can think about is how his girlfriend was a poor orphan? I hate you Richard, she said going back to Terry's room.
Terry wanted to go after Candy, the next day. But he got a phone call from his fiancée telling him she was pregnant. So when he went back to New York, he married Elizabeth, to take his responsibilities... He was going to Harvard and she stayed at her parents… until he found out she lied about the pregnancy… Terry was furious! That lie stopped him from going after Candy, but he was now married and he took his vows seriously… so he stayed married to Elizabeth…
Candy went out with William again and they begin to date officially. She was surprised to not have heard about Terry in a while. She should've been happy, but instead she was disappointed, she liked it when he came after her. She found herself dreaming about the last kiss they had shared at the restaurant.
William would take her to lunch, to dinner. He took her to his place once for a romantic dinner. They danced, they kissed. Candy almost went all the way, but she stopped. She was not ready.
- I'm sorry, William
- Take your time, Candy, it's fine. I'm very patient
- Thank you William, I'm just in a weird place right now
- Can I kiss you some more?
- Yes, said Candy smiling
They were kissing, and that's all they did. Candy didn't want to sleep with him. She only wanted Terry… but…Terry was not contacting her. Maybe he had changed his mind.
Terry finally got Candy's real address. He knew that the address she had at the hospital was her best friend's apartment; it was the same address his mother had given him. The private investigator followed Candy and he discovered she had a beautiful nice house in the suburbs.
- Thank you so much! You're worth every penny…, he told the private investigator
- You're welcome anytime sir. Good luck.
So Terry was in his Lexus and he parked it a little far, so he won't awake any suspicions. He walked to the beautiful white house and he rang the door. It took a few minutes. He was about to ring it again, when the door finally opened and…
- Oh my God! Dad! Said a young boy jumping to his neck, you've come back to us! Mom! Cassie! Dad's home!
