This same night. Sally had just gotten home to the quiet and lonely home. The new home she had in place of Wheel Well. Sally took her bun out of her hair and fluffed it loose. Grabbed herself a glass and poured herself some wine. The dark red stuff. Just relaxing. She sat down in her home office which looked out the amazing view of the town from Wheel Well. Sally sat down at the desk and opened up her laptop for her usual friday night video chat.
After a few minutes the screen came on and the familiar face smiled back at her. "Hey."
Good evening.
Francesco said with a smile.
Sally smiled "Good morning."
It was morning in Italy and night in Radiator Springs.
How was your work?
Sally sighed "Busy. I need this wine, I deserve this wine."
What you need a nice massage. How are the kids? With McQueen I suppose?
"Yup. Like every Friday." She nodded and sipped her wine. Francesco sipped something similar to Sally's drink and Sally had to ask "Are you drinking? It's so early in the morning for you?" she giggled.
Si. Thought I might join you. You look very beautiful. Just like every Friday Sally.
"And you say that every friday Francesco."
she smiled. Francesco snickered and sipped his drink.
Francesco will continue to every week as well.
"You're to much, you know that? Right?"
Francesco nodded.
So? Did McQueen ask you out again?
Sally snickered and rrolled her eyes correcting "Lightning has never asked me out. Just asked if I'd like to get drinks. Like every week."
That is asking you out. But I will let you deny it.
"How is your sweet life of no job, no nothing, no kids.. Sounds like you have a pretty sweet thing goin there."
Not really. I mean I make a few thousand here and there.. That's always nice.
"Oh I bet! Sitting on your ass and making thousands for it."
Francesco chuckled at her humor.
"How is Cruz?.." Sally had to ask with a little annoyance in her tone.
Francesco snickered.
She is good. She is a great racer. Though I'm sure you don't want to hear me talk of how great she is? Actually she and Mateo didn't make it.
Sally raised a brow, concerned "What? What do you mean? They didn't get married?"
No. I knew that this would happen. Mateo was not ready for marriage. And Cruz is.. Well.. You know.
Sally snickered and sipped her wine "A whore?" she giggled a little.
Eeehh I was going to say something more delicate but that to works.
Sally stared at her drink but she went from a smile to a more worried look. Francesco could still see it through the screen.
What is wrong?
"What if?.. What if Cruz comes back here?.. What if she comes back?"
Francesco sighed
Do not worry my Sally. Cruz is far too busy racing and becoming who she is here to come visit.
Sally nodded but looked concerned and worried still. Francesco cleared his throat and changed the subject.
So? What if?.. I? Returned to America?
Sally's eyes widened."Wow. That's?..That would be?..Wow." Sally couldn't find words.
Maybe take this sorts of relationship to the next level as you say? A different level?
Sally thought a moment and bit her lower lips. "I.. have to.. Decline unfortunately." Francesco nodded. But Sally felt need to explain as she continued "I just can't Francesco. I'm too busy and it's too much.. You're too much.. A good much. A great.. Much.. I.. don't know what that even means?" Francesco chuckled at her. She was adorable.
Okay. Not yet. But soon.. Francesco doesn't want to wait much longer Sally. I have to chain myself down to keep myself from running to you.
Sally shook her head and sipped her wine. Leaning back in her chair "I'm thinking about getting a dog... What do you think?"
Francesco raised a brow and answered
I think I would be jealous. As the dog would get more affection than I!?
Sally giggled and shook her head.
You like that? I make a joke and you laugh. It was not meant to be a joke. It would be true though. I wish I could take you out. You need a night to be treated like a real woman.
Sally sighed "Yeah.. Well... I'm not ready anymore. It's funny.. After the divorce? The seperation became so much more real. The end. Closing the book.." She frowned a little. Like a blank frown. Francesco stared on the screen. Maybe trying to really read her emotions. Then Ring ring.
What is that?
"Oh just my friends. Kind of set up a girls night in tonight. Megan and Jesse are coming over."
Awe.. Well. You do need to wind down. I will speak with you again next friday. Unless you ask for sooner?
Sally smiled "No.. Next Friday sounds good. Bye Francesco."
Addio My Sally...
Sally opened her front door to her two friends, Jesse and Megan. Jesse immediately greeted "Sally! Hey girl.. I brought something special for you girly." Sally rolled her eyes but hugged he friend. Meg walked in right behind Jesse and greeted "Hey. I was so glad we finally made tonight happen." Sally agreed replying "I know, I know. It's about time." Shutting the door, thr girls made their way into the kitchen. Meg was the more tight jeans and lavender sleevlesz blouse look with her brown hair all wavy to her shoulders. Jesse the more crop top that was black sheer and shorts that were Lacey with her hair braided to the side.
"I'd say this is long overdue baby. You're just always so busy!" Jesse whined. Sally shrugged getting some glasses out and placing them on the island replying "Well I work for a living." Megan snickered snapping "Hey we work?" Jesse turned and scolded "You're a trophy wife. Your job is to sit and look pretty for Cal." Meg rolled her eyes at Jesse's comment. Sally saw the incoming fight and butted in "Girls,girls. Not tonight okay?.. Megan you work. You have that awesome blog bringing in so much money. And You.. Jesse.. Rockin that new cafe job? How's that going?"
Jesse sighed admitting "Well ever sense Bobby and I split I gotta admit.. Working again feels.. Different after all the years I didn't have to work. Better watch it Meg." Jesse added. Megan raised a brow, glancing at both friends and asked "Watch what?" Sally placed some pretzels on the table but listened to whatever snappy thing Jesse was about to say. Jesse grabbed one and crunched it with her terth a few times before swallowing and answering "You're hanging out with the divorcees now. Won't be long you'll be joining the club..." Sally partially couldn't believe Jesse said that. But Jesse was always blunt and in your face with things.
Megan's jaw dropped before snapping "Cal and I are happy Jesse. Can you ever just be happy that maybe one of us actually have a good marriage? No offense Sally.." Sally just smiled a little smile to that. Jesse grabbed another pretzel replying "Oh please.. It's marriage.. No one's happy." Megan was definitely about to say something rude back but Sally stepped in, "Girls. Please?" They both stopped and stared at Sally.
Jesse smiled nodded and replied "You're right Sal. Onto more fun topics..." The girls all sat down in the living room with snacks and drinks. All getting to talk and hang out again. Jesse asked Megan, "Well sense you're the married one, you are obviously getting more Dick than us." "Jesse!" Sally snapped. Jesse shrugged but then asked more politely "Alright... How are things really between you and Cal Meg?" Megan rolled her eyes answering "Things are good. And I like to think I do get a little more than you Jess. But something tells me I don't. It's funny! Actually Cal tried something new." Both Sally and Jesse stared with pure curiosity at Meg. "Something new? What's that? Please tell." Jesse asked.
Meg blushed a little but answered "Well.. I'll say this.. He made sure to fill.. every... hole.." Sally's eyes widened, Jesse giggled asking "You did anal!?" Megan immediately corrected "No!? No, I could never take that!? But his fingers did." Sally and Jesse both just stared a little unsure how to react at first. "No.. That's not sexy.." Sally replied. Jesse right behind her with "I agree, that's just weird." Meg shook her head. Sally added "I could never do anal." "I once had a guy lick my ass." Jesse stated. Megan and Sally both snickered a little. Jesse looked at them saying "What!? Some men are into it! At least I wasn't married for like a gazilliin years with only a finger in my ass to show for it." She snickered toward Megan.
Megan glared. Sally sipped her wine a little, hoping the girls wouldn't start an argument.
"What about Charlie? Is he a keeper than Jess? Sally asked. Jesse smiled answering "I think so. Charles is such a rich and elegant and quiet man. Complete opposite of Bobby! He's exactly what I wanted after I left Bobby." She then leaned into the couch. Meg sighed commenting "Good. Happy for you." Jesse shrugged and smiled proudly.
The girls looked at Sally and Jesse asked "What about you baby? No sex for a while now huh? Is it getting a little dried up down there?" Sally blushed a little answering "Hey! I might not be off having sex but that's because I'm too busy. Running the town that you both live in, might I remind you two." Jesse and Megan smiled at each other suspiciously.
"What about Francesco? You still video chatting that one?" Megan asked. Sally nodded while sipping her drink. "Gee that's gotta suck right? Always looking and never able to be touching?" Jess asked. Sally faked a laugh and rolled her eyes replying "I'm fine girls, thanks. I'll admit.. I miss Francesco. He was so." "Good?" Meg asked, "Hot?" Jess asked and bit her lips. Sally laughed "No!.. He was sweet. But being in a relationship with him wouldn't be appropriate after everything and besides? He's.. All the way in Italy." Megan nodded agreeing. Jesse shrugged , sipped her drink then said "I'd have sex with him over the chat. You should try it! Get naked and start touching yourself for him." Megan agreed smiling "Ooohh yeah. Can you imagine that man stroking his"-"Okay! Enough!" Sally shouted.
It got quiet. Jesse crunched loudly on a pretzel. Sipping her drink. Megan then speaks up "Well,.. You need to get back out there Sal. It's been a little over a year." Jesse nods agreeing "Definitely. Your poor vagina is gonna die. Or should we throw the funeral now?" Sally rolled her eyes "Guys come on." Jesse looked at Sally's clothes then commented "Could use a wardrobe update. A little less business and a little more woman." Extenuating woman by popping her own breasts. Sally ignored her though and sipped her drink.
"What about Lightning?" Megan asked. Jesse immediately shooshed her! "What?" she asked. Sally smiled correcting "It's fine. I can talk about Lightning Jess? He was my husband and is the father of my children." Jesse rolled her eyes. "And.. I don't know?.. I'm kind of.. Waiting for him to?.. Move on first honestly.." Jesse and Megan stared confused. "Wait?" Jesse asked "You are letting him fuck someone first?" Sally snarled correcting again "No! I didn't say sleep with someone! I said.. Move on.. Just date. Publicly." Jesse snickered replying "Please. He's a guy. His moving on will be fucking the next tramp that comes along." Megan immediately scolded "Stop that!" Jesse shrugged "It's true? The man slept with a woman like half our age and please? How unprofessional is that? His trainer? Really?"
Sally sighed saying "I know. But.. If I don't let him make the first?... Move than?.. I'm afraid he'll be dramatic.." Jesse frowned but nodded and understood as she admitted "I mean it's twisted,but I get it. Bobby still doesn't know about Charles." Megan shrugged and replied "I think you should get back out there Sally. I mean it's sweet that you care about Lightning but?..He will move on, on his own time?" Sally frowned a little explaining "Yeah but, the divorce was really hard on him especially.. I don't want to make him hurt or feel replaced again.." Jesse snickered commenting "Oh honey. He's a man. He's probably already slept with someone else." Meg shook her head and said "Maybe he doesn't want to move on?" Sally and Jesse stared at her a moment. Blank a little.
"Well, he ask you out for code word drinks every weekend right?" Megan asked. Sally nodded. Jesse looked at Sally asking "Is that something you want?" Sally thought a moment before shrugging and answering "No.. I don't know, maybe. I mean...I couldn't go back to that? Like you said, he slept with someone so.. Young?.. " She trailed off. Jesse was surprised and asked "Sally, come on!? Look at your face!You would totally do him again." "What!? No? I didn't say that Jess. I'm just?.. I mean... I'm just saying that if.. and if things.. Happened to?.. Work out, it could be nice. Not being alone."
Jesse rolled her eyes as Sally continued "But there's so much bad history between us and it's not even been that long? I don't wanna go back to all that." Megan smiled and nodded. Agreeing though and somewhat admiring her friend's strength. Jesse had this suspicious smile on her face as she pulled her purse close. "Well.. I did get you a little something for that dry spell you seem to be going through." she said as she dug into her purse. Sally stared and scolded "It's not a dry spell if you're choosing not to have sex Jesse." Jesse just smiled and pulled out this purple and black long box introducing "Meet, Mr Magic. Now, he's no Francesco Bernoulli. But should get the job done." handing Sally the box. Sally's jaw dropped and she opened it and saw a freaking weird purple dildo. "Jesse! I don't use these!" Jesse shrugged replying "Hey? It's just a suggestion sort of.. Maybe you can use it with Francesco? Hmm?" Sally rolled her eyes and pushed the toy away muttering "I'm too old for these things you guys. And no one wants to see this ugly old body" Both Megan and Jesse laughed! "Sally you are gorgeous! White platinum hair that is so soft! You have the perfect tits. Look, just the right size for a man to grip baby. And you may not be as small as you once were? But your body just screams LOOK AT ME! I am all woman! You got a little bit of an hourglass going anyway." Jesse complimented and reassured her friend.
Sally smiled but shook her head. Jesse sighed and shrugged saying "If you don't wanna have video chatting sex? Could always look at porn? Or sexy pictures of someone you like?" Megan nodded adding "Ooh or filthy ex sex! I had that once." Jesse laughed agreeing "Oh yes! Angry ex sex is the best!" The two high fived! Sally just stared asking "Wait what? Ex sex? You mean with Lightning?" Jesse bobbed her head explaining "Sort of. More like sex with Lightning's picture. If you have a good pic of him? Or Francesco?" Megan nodded agreeing. Sally giggled replying "Gosh no! That sounds aweful." Jesse leaned closer and asked "Well.. If you got any pictures of Bernoulli? I'll gladly take 'em off your hands." Sally just rolled her eyes...
That night alone, after the girls left. Sally sat in bed. Alone. Alone being the big word here. She looked to her side. The empty side of the bed. She was getting tired of being alone. Just having a man's touch. Could be nice...
