"Second Chance"
Chapter 10
(Ray's POV)
One week after fulfilling her car fantasy Ray sits in a chair watching Michelle sleep. Most of her hair lay across the pillow. But a few strands lay caressingly against her left cheek. He had woken up almost half an hour ago to the feeling of another person's arms wrapped around his body. At first he thought he was stuck somewhere between being awake and still asleep. Then the memory of asking Michelle to stay last night hit him like a ton of bricks. It had been hard trying to get out of bed while not waking her. But he somehow managed to do it. Now sitting here watching her lay in his bed was all he could seem to do. And it was his bed. A few weeks back Ray had went shopping for a brand new bed.,one he hadn't shared with his cheating wife. If that queen sized piece of shit was still in the house he never would have asked Michelle to stay with him. The thought of making love to her in the same bed that he slept in with Christa was disturbing. This bed was his. No, it was their's. And thinking of it that way had Ray wondering if maybe the future was their's too.
(Michelle's POV)
The very first thing Michelle noticed was the stream of light shinning through the window curtains. The second was that Ray wasn't in bed beside her. And the third was the loud knocking coming from the front of the house. Someone was at the front door. And by the sound of the knocking they wanted in very badly. Getting up off the bed Michelle looked around the room to locate her clothes. Finding all the items she started pulling them on. It didn't take very long. A couple of minutes at most. But in the few minutes it took her to get dressed the knocking had stopped and been replaced by total silence. Wondering just what in the hell was going on she left the bedroom and walked down the hall only to be meet by the sight of Christa in Ray's arms. And damn if they weren't kissing.
