Chapter 14
One more chapter and this story is done... Enjoy this chapter!
The next morning Roman rolled over, and looked at the time it was 6:30. He caressed down Machelle's back with his fingers and kissed her shoulder.
"That tickles." Machelle said laughing and then rolled over.
"Sorry." Roman said and kissed her lips. "I didn't want to wake you up but, I couldn't resist."
"Your not sorry at all." Machelle said smiling. "I was awake anyway so, it doesn't matter."
"Why?" Roman asked. "Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm fine." Machelle said kissing him back and smiling. "I have been awake for a couple hours, trying to figure out what I'm going to wear today."
"Seriously?" Roman smiled. "You have a closet full of clothes, and that's what your worried about. There are other things you can worry about. You know?"
"Like What?" Machelle said caressing his cheek. Roman grabbed her hand and kissed her palm.
"Like, what I'm going to do to you." Roman said as he pushed Machelle onto her back and crawled onto her, holding himself up on his elbows and kissed her, positioning himself at her entrance.
"Mm, What about Dean?" Machelle whispered running her hands, up his neck and down Roman's back landing on his ass. "He's just down the hall."
"Just be quiet and he will never know." Roman said kissing her lips. "Thank God, you sleep naked."
Machelle smiled and put one leg, around his waist and kissed him. Roman rubbed his hand up her toned thigh.
Roman moved slowly inside of her, starting with a slow, steady pace until she was moaning and kissing up his neck. He increased his speed not too quickly, but getting a little faster with every thrust until they were both focusing completely on the act of two bodies becoming one.
Roman kissed her lips and moved a little faster. Until Machelle was unable to take it anymore, arching her chest into Roman's chest and she moaned into his kiss, climaxing in a shuddering rush.
Roman was right behind her.
When they were done Roman kissed her, putting his forehead to hers.
"I love you, you know that right?" Roman said kissing her again.
"Yes, I do and I love you, too." Machelle said into the kiss, putting her hands on the back of his neck pulling him closer.
They laid there for a bit kissing and then they got up and went and had a shower.
"That still leaves me with my problem." Machelle said as she grabbed the soap, and started to wash Roman's chest and shoulders. "Do I wear something business or something casual?"
"It's going to be really hot out today." Roman said grabbing the shampoo and poured some in his hand and lathered her hair up.
"I know." Machelle said kissing his shoulder. "That's the reason I'm having trouble deciding. Is it okay to wear a sundress to an opening slash funeral?"
"Babe, you can wear anything you want." Roman said, while Machelle was rinsing her hair under the shower head. "It's a celebration of life remember and something that is supposed to be happy."
"That's true, it's so much easier for guys." Machelle said while Roman rinsed his hair. "Guys don't have to worry about it. It's either shorts or pants. You don't have to worry about, what colour looks good on you. Well maybe the colour thing but, not what's in fashion."
"You will look great, in anything you choose." Roman laughed pulling her close and kissed her lips.
"Mm, What are you guys wearing?" Machelle said caressing the back of his neck.
"I don't know." Roman laughed. "I don't have a Thing, to wear."
Machelle laughed and shook her head.
Roman turned off the water and Machelle handed him a towel and he dried himself off and grabbed a pair of shorts. Roman put his hair in a neat bun and went down stairs and put the coffee on and grabbed three cups out.
While Machelle dried her hair and got dressed in shorts and a T-shirt.
"Where is my coffee? I need it Now." Dean screamed coming down the stairs.
Roman laughed and El Torrito came right to Dean wagging his tail to greet him.
"Aw sorry, bud did I scare you?" Dean said in a baby voice.
"Why are you so, loud this morning?" Machelle said coming down the stairs.
Dean backed up so, Machelle could get on his back. He gave her a piggy back ride to the kitchen and dropped her off on a stool.
"I don't know." Dean said laughing. "Just thought people, should know I was up and it was going to be a Great Day."
"Thanks for the ride" Machelle said kissing him on the cheek.
"Your welcome." Dean laughed. "You feeling okay today, I hope?"
Machelle nodded. She went to the fridge and grabbed some yogurt, strawberries, grapes, oranges and a pineapple out and started to cut it up.
"By the way, Machelle." Dean said sitting down at the kitchen island on a stool. "Detective Orton is coming. He's Randy's Uncle."
"That's okay. I guess I should of known, by his last name." Machelle said grabbing a big bowl out of the cupboard. "So, what's the matter then?"
"Yeah, I didn't catch it either. Until Randy said something last night, when I ran into him." Dean said laughing. "Anyway, Randy said he has Jamie's ashes with him."
"It's okay Dean, I already knew the ashes were coming but, I didn't know he was bringing them." Machelle said, handing Dean a bowl of yogurt. "I can handle it, though."
"You sure?" Roman said grabbing the pineapple from Machelle to cut it up.
"Yes, I'm positive." Machelle said putting the fruit she cut up in the bowl. "I am good with this. I just don't know what I'm going to do with the ashes yet but, I'm okay with it. This is why I did the Centre in the first place, to heal and stop this crying thing. I don't think Jamie would want to be buried, in a grave yard. I think his mom and Dad were scattered at sea but, I'm going to ask Vince today just to be sure."
"I think your right. I remember, Jamie saying he was taking his parent's ashes on a boat. After his mom died, she kept his Dad's ashes. She wanted them scattered together. They both loved the water, Jamie was okay with it but, not like his Mom and Dad." Roman said handing the cut pineapple to Machelle.
Machelle put the pineapple with the other fruit and mixed it up. Then added some to her yogurt as, did Roman and Dean.
Then Dean went and grabbed Machelle's computer and looked up 'Things to do with Human ashes'. He clicked on '27 things to do with cremated remains'.
"Well it says here you can make jewellery, a gem stone and pencils." Dean started. "What about a vase, or a stained glass scene? That would be cool."
Then Dean started to laugh, almost choking on his yogurt.
"Did you know Keith Richards mixed his Dad's remains with cocaine and snorted them up his nose?" Dean said laughing.
"Eww, that's gross." Machelle said. "I loved him but, not enough to snort him up my nose. What if you sneeze?"
Dean was, just about to take a sip of his coffee and stopped.
"Oh no, your not going to do that to me again. What have I told you about making me laugh, when I am drinking?" Dean laughed. "I just had a vision of you snorting him up your nose and boogers and ashes come flying out your nose."
Roman and Machelle started to laugh with Dean.
"Now that is a vision, I don't want to see." Roman laughed.
"Suddenly, I don't feel hungry anymore I don't know why?" Machelle said, putting down her spoon. Then patted Dean on the back. "Just kidding. That was a gross vision Dean but, Very Funny."
"That's something Jamie would do." Roman said taking a bit of the pineapple. "Every time we were feeling blue he would say stuff like that to make us laugh."
"That is so, true." Dean smiled. "Sorry, I was trying to be funny."
"Why be sorry? It was funny." Machelle said laughing. "He did always do that. So, Dean what are you wearing?"
"Ah, Clothes!" Dean said laughing and winked at Roman. Then ran upstairs, knowing Machelle would chase him.
Machelle looked at Roman and shook her head and they both laughed.
"Get back, here you bugger." Machelle said, running up the stairs after Dean. El Torrito right behind her.
Roman cleaned the dishes up, and went upstairs. Hearing them laughing, he knew it was a good thing getting the tension out for the day ahead. He had a feeling Dean had planned it, to help Machelle get through the day.
Roman went to go into the bedroom, when he got hit by a pillow. Dean and Machelle started a pillow fight with him. The pillow fight lasted about 10 minutes.
They laughed and just had fun. El Torrito knocked down Dean and sat on him while Machelle played referee and counted Dean out. They all laughed with Dean when he said, he has never been pinned by a dog.
After they finished, Dean went to his room and got ready. Machelle went into the bathroom and did her make-up and put her hair in a pony tail, while Roman shaved.
Then she went into her closet and picked a white halter dress with bright blue abstract print, and white high heeled sandals.
Kind of matching the guys. Dean wore a blue t-shirt and Roman wore a short sleeve bright blue dress shirt.
Everyone seamed to show up all at once. Roman's Family, Seth, Jimmy, Jey and their families, Hunter's family with Linda, Detective Orton and Randy and his Parent's and Dwayne.
It seamed Machelle had picked the right thing to wear. Roman's sisters, Naomi, Stephanie and Alex were wearing sundresses to. Along with all the little girls, Jey's three boys had shorts and polo shirts on.
All the kids brushed El Torrito not that he needed it. He didn't have long hair but, he seamed to enjoy the attention they were giving him.
Then put a black bow tie on him. Machelle guessed it was an old one of Hunter's or even Vince's. He pranced around the house making sure everyone saw him. They all thought it was cute so, they left it on him.
They sat around and chatted for a bit and had coffee, bagels and cream cheese and fruit from the trays Roman and Dean had got.
Then at 11:30 they all started to file into their cars, and left for the centre. The opening was going to be from noon to three.
When they got there the parking lot was full of people. Some of the people were from football teams Jamie had scouted, others from the Youth Centre in New York, Wrestlers and friends. All of them came to honour Jamie.
"Well, this might be harder than I thought." Machelle said petting El Torrito. "There is at least 500 people here."
"Sorry, I forgot to warn you." Dean said turning around in the drivers seat. "Vince, was the one who called some people and word got around but, I got you covered."
Dean opened his door and went to the back of the car, and grabbed a bag. Roman opened the door for Machelle and El Torrito.
"See, I came prepared." Dean said handing her a package of Kleenex, from the bag he held in his hand. "This is what Best Guy Friends do."
"Your such a suck up." Roman laughed. I have to admit it was a good idea though."
Roman held Machelle's hand and she linked her arm through Dean's El Torrito walked right beside Dean. They walked to meet his Dad at their car.
Dean handed all the girls Kleenex. They all thought it was funny but, sweet and thanked him for thinking of them.
They all walked to the front of the Centre. Vince walked up to Machelle, and he looked like he was going to cry any second.
Dean handed him a package of Kleenex from the bag and smiled at him.
"Thanks I am going to need this." Vince said smiling. "I didn't think this would be so hard. These teens and you guys have been working so hard. They showed me the murals they did and I almost lost it."
"El Torrito stood and watched for three hours. While they did the one in the computer room." Machelle said smiling. "I gave them a picture and I didn't think it would turn out as good as it did."
"Great Job, you guys." Vince said and hugged them all. "Okay, let's get this show on the way."
Vince walked up to the podium.
Roman stood behind Machelle and hugged her. She still had her arm linked in Dean's. She knew this was going to be hard for him, just as much as her and Roman.
"Excuse me everyone, can I have your attention. I am going to make this quick and as painless as possible." Vince said. "I was told by my wife if I made the ladies cry, I would be in big trouble. But, to tell you the truth I think I am the one who will cry first."
Everyone started to laugh.
"I don't know if all of you guys know this but, I have known Jamie since he was born. I was his father's best friend and Jamie's Godfather." Vince said clearing his throat. "I will be honest I had this big speech I wanted to give you but, I'm afraid I won't get through it. So, instead I am just going to skip it and go with a short speech and then you can see what a wonderful job these kids did. So, here it goes."
We are here to celebrate your life.
And the measure of its worth.
And every single life you touched.
While you were on this earth.
We wish to pay our last respects.
That's why we all are here.
To thank you for your friendship.
And all the memories we hold dear.
Its been a privilege to have known you.
We were family not just friends.
And we will carry you in spirit.
Until we meet up once again.
Vince cleared his throat several times. Linda walked up to him, and put her hand on his shoulder.
El Torrito who was sitting in between Dean and Machelle, nudged her hand. She reached down and patted his head and he looked up at her. Then he walked up to the front and sat down in front of Vince and nudged his hand. Which seamed to help Vince keep it together so, he could finish the rest of his speech.
The photographer took a picture of this. He thought it was cute.
"Guess I'm in trouble." Vince said, and patted El Torrito's head. Everyone laughed again. "I know Jamie wouldn't want us to cry but, to celebrate his life. He was a great person and I know he would want it this way. The gathering of his friends and the opening of a place for the young people he held so, close to his heart. He loved giving to others. So, to sum this up I have another poem."
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
by Mary Frye.
Everyone had tears in their eyes, just because Vince was trying to hold his own tears in. El Torrito nudged his hand again and Vince patted his head. It seamed the big dog, sort of knew what was happening and wanted Vince to know he was there for him.
"It is my pleasure to open the Jamieson Vincent McKeana Youth and Resource Centre." Vince said "I know he would be proud of what these teens did to this place."
One of the teens handed Vince a pair of scissors and he cut the ribbon. The moment Vince cut the ribbon another teen lifted a cloth from the sign.
"Please come in and look around." Vince said. "When you are done looking at what the teens have done, please join us at the back of the building. For some food and some great stories. Enjoy the day!"
The photographer from the paper, took pictures of Vince cutting the ribbon. He had already gone through the Centre and taken photos. When Vince had gone through.
Vince came up to Machelle.
"Can I talk to you for a second?" Vince asked.
Machelle nodded and let go of Roman's hand and walked outside with Vince.
"Sorry, I had a longer speech." Vince said tears running down his cheeks now. "I was going to tell happy stories but, I couldn't hold back the tears any longer. It's like having your own child die."
"Don't worry about it, Vince. You did better than I would have." Machelle said and hugged him. "Come on let's go party. That's what Jamie would have wanted in the first place."
Vince smiled and Machelle dried his tears with a Kleenex and they went inside.
Once everyone had seen the inside of the Centre, one of the parents started up the BBQ. The parents had brought some of their own from their houses. Plus the one Dean and Seth bought.
Machelle asked if she could help but, the mom's of the teens kicked her out of the kitchen. Saying the teens had everything under control. Machelle smiled, and thanked them for helping.
When she went out back, they had tables and chairs set up and two tables for food. With a kind of stage set up with a Microphone for later, for any one that wanted to tell stories about Jamie. There was also a big screen set up. Machelle thought it was for a movie or something.
The teens all helped bring things out. They had salads, drinks, hot dogs, fixings for the burgers and the cake the people from the Performance Centre brought.
After everyone ate, people started getting up and telling funny stories. About food fights Jamie started in restaurants, cars and even in catering.
Pranks, Jamie played on people. Like putting Saran wrap on toilet seats, in hotel bathrooms or at Venues.
One teen told people about the time they went camping and Jamie wanted to play a prank on one of the campers because he was drunk and being an idiot. They moved the outhouse back three feet and the guy fell in the hole. Everyone was grossed out but, laughed.
The teens from New York, showed a video of Jamie playing basketball with them. Taking them on trips to meet basketball stars. Playing mud football with them. Juice shaking his head and drool flying on people, just funny things. Even Machelle was in some of the videos. Jamie had taken them to one of her dance competitions one time.
Seeing the video was when Machelle, almost lost it. She didn't cry but, she sure felt like it. Dean saw her and was going to send Roman over to her but, he saw her walk around chatting with everyone. Trying to distract herself.
Little did Dean know she was heading to the bathroom to break down but, got caught with people stopping her to chat.
Machelle knew some of the football players, they were teens when she was at the Centre in New York. They brought pictures of Jamie and updated, her on what they were doing.
It was going on three o' clock and some of the wrestlers had to catch a flight to Atlanta, for a show that night. So, they said their goodbyes to Machelle and everyone else and left.
All the people that came to the house in the morning, left around 3:30.
They had planned a BBQ. Patty and the girls, peeled potatoes, made potato salad and green salad.
They had put the roast on the rotisserie prongs and put the roast on the BBQ.
Dean, Jimmy and Jey had set up tables and chairs for everyone. Summer, Vanessa and Patty had brought chips and a veggie tray for the kids to snack on.
El Torrito had gone to the garage and grabbed his soccer ball out and played with the kids for a bit. Then went inside and dragged his doggie bed, to where the kids were watching Frozen and fell asleep.
Machelle and Roman had stayed at the Centre to help clean up. Even though the teens gave her shit for helping.
Machelle thanked the parents and chatted with them for a bit. She wanted to know if they should up the fee for the Centre. All the parents seamed to agree, it was a good idea. It kept the teens busy and out of trouble and there was more teens that wanted to join.
One parent said that her son was more into helping out at home and made him more responsible. When he had joined the Centre, when it had first opened.
When it was closed down they thought the teens would lash out and get into trouble but, they didn't. Instead they kept up their good deeds.
They would all go to old age homes and help out with the elderly. Taking them out for walks and just chatting with them. That was just one of the examples. All the parents agreed with that, they all seamed to look after each other too, at the Centre and at school.
After everything was cleaned up and the tables and chairs put away. The parents and teens went to their cars and they all left the centre.
It was almost 4:30 and Roman knew Machelle would be hungry, because she hadn't eaten anything since this morning.
Dean had left the car and went with Dwayne.
"Are you okay, Machelle?" Roman asked when they got in the car.
"Yeah, I think it went good." Machelle said smiling. "I think the video was my downfall. I lost it, seeing him. He always took the teens to basketball games or played mud football. I miss that."
"What the games or playing mud football?" Roman asked grabbing her hand.
"Both." Machelle said smiling. "I used to play, sometimes. We had a deal with the guy next to the Centre, he had a field. It used to be a apartment building but, the city knocked it down. We made sure it was clean and he used to let us play on it. It was a huge mud pit anyway when it rained but, we always had fun. He even came and watched sometimes. As for the games, I didn't mind them it was just fun being with the teens, spending time with them. I never paid attention I was the shit disturber, as Jamie used to call me. Starting popcorn fights, talking when I was supposed to be watching."
"So, then we need to find a field we can play on." Roman said laughing, and kissed her hand when they stopped at the light. "And not take you to any sports games."
"Good idea, not taking me to a game." Machelle smiled. "After, I get my neck fixed for mud ball though. So, it's not touch mud ball I loved to spear, I mean tackle people."
"Really?" Roman said laughing. "I never knew, you had a mean streak in you. Jamie used to love that part too."
"I don't usually except playing mud ball, it brings the inner bitch in me." Machelle smiled. "Where do you think I learned to do it? Jamie taught me."
When they got home, Roman had to park on the street. They walked up the driveway, hand in hand. Dinner was almost ready.
Sika was just taking the roast off the rotisserie bar. Dean had given him a platter to put the sliced meat on.
Patty and the other ladies, had put the salads and potatoes on the table outside.
They all sat down at the table outside and Sika said a prayer. After they talked as they ate.
"What are you going to do with the ashes?" Vanessa asked Machelle. "I mean, are you going to keep them?"
"No, I want to do something with them. What? I have no idea." Machelle said. "Dean looked some things up, on the computer like jewellery or stained glass which sounds cool."
"He told us about Keith Richards." Vanessa Laughed. "We were all grossed out but, laughed at his vision."
"What about a flowering tree?" Sika said. "Like a Crepe Myrtle or a Magnolia tree? They both smell nice. Patty and I have them in our yard. You could sprinkle them around the tree."
"Jamie liked roses too." Patty said taking a sip of her iced tea.
"I like roses but, where would I put the tree?" Machelle said. "Aren't they big? There is only a bit of grass back here."
"No, not really big like a cedar or an oak tree. More like the size of a plum or grapefruit tree. Put them in the front yard it is bigger." Sika said. "Both of them, give off shade and grow very well in this weather."
"Would you be able to get them at any nursery?" Machelle said smiling.
Sika nodded his head.
"There is one by the Performance Centre." Dean said.
"I like that idea." Machelle said. "I mean, now that I think about it, I don't plan on selling this place."
Machelle, Sika, Vince and Afa walked to the front of the yard, after they all ate. Sika suggested a couple places for the trees. He told her how to prune them. He said they were both hearty trees and grew pretty fast.
It was going on 8:30 and the kids were getting restless so, they all decided to leave. It was a long day for the kids.
Dean's flight left at 11 but, he would get to Calgary at nine, with the time change. Dwayne was going past the airport so, he said he would give him a ride. He had to be there two hours before anyway.
Dean went and grabbed his bag.
"I think the tree idea is a great thing." Dwayne said hugging Machelle. "When you get it, give me a call I would like to be here if you don't mind?"
"Of course, you can come." Machelle said. "All of you guys, are welcome to come. It will be on Sunday, sometime after Dean comes home. We will call you, I promise. You guys can come over any time, by the way."
Machelle hugged everyone and thanked them for coming and for making dinner.
Roman and Machelle walked them out. When they had all left, Roman parked the car in the garage and locked all the doors and put the alarm on.
Machelle put the dishwasher on. Then got the coffee ready for her and Roman in the morning.
Then they walked up stairs.
Machelle walked into the bathroom and was going to wash her make-up off. When roman came into the bathroom.
"I think that went really great, don't you?" Roman said hugging her from behind and kissed her shoulder.
"That it did." Machelle said leaning her head back on his chest. "It was really, nice of your Mom and sister's to help with dinner."
"Yeah, Dean said Mom insisted they help." Roman said. "They had a great time and they all love you. All of them say your family now."
Machelle Laughed.
"You want to go to the nursery tomorrow?" Roman asked.
"No, Dean wants to come with us." Machelle said turning in his arms. "Dwayne said there is a better one, down by the marina. They have all kinds of trees. I told him we would call on Sunday and he said he would meet us there."
"Okay, that works." Roman said kissing her and rubbing his hands up her bare back. "We can relax this weekend then?"
"Mm sounds good to me." Machelle said with a smile. "Dean said he gets back at one on Sunday."
"If we are going to the nursery, we can grab him and go there." Roman said kissing her. "I'll text him and tell him we will pick him up."
"I need a shower again." Roman said kissing her and undoing the string at the back of her neck. "You wanna join me?"
"I can't refuse an offer like that." Machelle smiled.
Roman stripped his clothes off and turned the shower on. Machelle stepped out of her dress.
"What is that?" Roman asked pointing to her chest.
"It's a silicone stick on bra. It sticks to your skin." Machelle laughed and handed it to Roman. "I wore it instead of a bra, other wise you would see the straps since the dress was backless."
"It's squishy." Roman laughed.
"It also makes your boobs look bigger." Machelle laughed and walked into the shower. "I used to wear them under my costumes when I danced. Since some of them were backless."
Roman put it on the counter and walked in after her.
"I guess, we should have taken Monster for a walk." Machelle said and grabbed the soap.
"I think that would be a problem, he's passed out." Roman said, kissing her shoulder. "Dad said the kids, wore him out. When they got home, they chased him and played soccer in the front yard with Jimmy, Jey and Dwayne. He even dragged his bed into the TV room and watched Frozen with them."
"So, what did Vince say when he called you outside?" Roman asked taking the soap from Machelle and soaped her back.
"He felt bad because his speech was short." Machelle laughed, turning around. "I told, him he did better than I would. I would have cried the whole time."
"You looked like you were holding it together." Roman said kissing her. "Yes, I was watching you. Everyone, that was at the house this morning was watching."
"Like I said, I was doing great until I saw the video. That's when it really hit me." Machelle said smiling. Roman grabbed the shower head and rinsed her off. "I went into the bathroom and was crying when, Vanessa and your Mom came in and hugged me. Vanessa said Dean sent them in."
"He was worried about you." Roman smiled. "That's why Mom had a wet spot on her shoulder?"
"Yeah, I felt bad for getting her dress wet. I kept apologizing to her." Machelle said smiling. "Vanessa said, something about Canadians always do that. It made me laugh and then I was okay after that. It's true though, bump into someone by accident 'Oh Sorry'. Anyway I felt a lot better after."
Roman was laughing, but he stopped looking at her, watching as the water rushed over her body. A different expression, one certainly not of amusement, came over him and he pushed her into the wall and kissed her passionately.
Machelle moaned and returned the kiss, standing on her tiptoes, as if to get closer to his height and thus closer to those lips.
Her hands caressing down his back, and up to his neck.
Roman reached between them, touching her, testing her, realizing that there was a different moisture between her legs than just the water from the shower. His own body strained and he felt himself rising. He didn't just want this woman, he needed her.
He lifted her up, easily and slid himself inside of her, both of them shuddering at the feeling of coming together, becoming one. Their lips met again and slowly, he began moving inside of her, gently at first, but as their passion grew, so did his thrusts, until he was slamming her into the wall of the shower. Machelle could feel the slippery tiles pressing into her back, but she didn't care, all that mattered was this, him inside of her, teasing that heat from her body into coals, then into flames. And when the fire burned too hot she found herself pulling away from his kiss, his lips, her head tossed back, a low, long, moan coming from her lips, her body shuddering in release.
Roman was right behind her. Pulling out so he was almost completely out of her, he slammed himself inside of her, his own release coming in a wave of heat she could feel deep inside of her.
"I know I say this every time." Roman said breathless and putting his forehead to hers. "I love you, Machelle."
"I know, I love you too Roman." Machelle said kissing him back.
They stood there catching their breath for a bit. Then Machelle turned the water off. They got out and they dried each other off, and crawled into bed.
Roman put the TV on and Machelle cuddled up to his chest, Roman kissed the top of her head and they watched TV until they fell asleep.
Thank you to WillowEdmond for helping me with the shower sex scene. Thank you!
