It took almost 2 yrs. for the divorce to get finalized after Throttle hesitantly filed the paperwork. He really didn't want to do it, but he knew I would give him a good fight. He kept his promise to Modo and called everyday to check in.

Modo still wasn't ready to date again. Would anyone after losing their significant other? I know I wasn't ready, even after 2yrs. of being divorced. I'd be lucky to find another guy like Throttle. Someone who treats me with respect. Can put up with my bull-headedness. And understands that I can take care of myself if I get into a fight. Throttle put up with all that and still loved me.

While I was watching TV with Modo, Throttle called to check in. I looked at Modo. "You going to get that or should I?"

Modo bent over and grabbed the phone off the coffee table and answered it. He was about to head to another room, but I told him he didn't need to.

"I don't care if you 2 talk about me. Its nothing that I would be embarrassed about."

"Are you sure you're ok with me sitting here, talking about you?"

"Of course I am. Throttle and I are just friends now."

"If you're sure, then I won't leave."

I nodded then went back to the movie I was watching while Modo and Throttle talked on the phone.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

About 2hrs. later, they finally hung up. Modo looked over and noticed that I had fallen asleep while watching the movie. He put the cell phone on the coffee table, turned the TV off then picked me up. He carried me to my room for the night. He put me under the blankets and closed the door behind him. Then he went upstairs to his room for the night. More like to the upstairs bathroom to take a cold shower.

Even if Throttle and Michelle were just friends now, he shouldn't think about her like that. Yeah, he promised he would take good care of Michelle and cater to any need she asked, but he couldn't cater to her sexual needs and not feel some kind of remorse. He still loves Charley, even though she's been dead for 2 yrs. His love for her is still very strong and its gonna take a long time 'til he really gets over her death.

Her miscarriage sent her over the edge. They both wanted children, but she kept miscarrying by the 4th month. Modo took it as a sign that they weren't meant to have kids, even though he still wants them. He hasn't asked Michelle if she still wants more kids.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

After he got out of the shower, he dried off then walked into his room and put some shorts on. He was about to get in bed when he heard a scream coming from my room. He ran downstairs and into my room.

I was sitting up in bed with a scared look in my eyes. Modo sat down next me and held me to calm me down.

I had wrapped my arms around his neck and cried. Whatever nightmare I had, scared the holy hell out of me. Modo rubbed my back, trying to soothe me some.

After I had cried all I could, Modo asked me if I was feeling better.

"A little. I had a nightmare that scare the hell out of me."

"Didn't you have this same problem yrs. ago when Throttle was sent away?"

"Yeah. I hope it's not happening again. I always looked like I didn't sleep the next day."

"Would you like me to stay? Help put your mind at ease for the night?"

I smiled and nodded. Then I hugged him. He's such a great friend. I'm glad I have a friend like him.

Modo got on the other side of the bed and got under the blankets with me. He put my mind at ease for the rest of the night. I slept like a baby. I had noticed that he had pulled me closer to him. I don't know if it was out of concern or what, but I didn't protest. I won't admit it to him, but it was nice to have strong arms holding me at night. I also felt something else while we slept. I knew that if I took care of the "problem in his shorts", Modo might wanna go farther, and I'm not sure he wants to. Only one way to find out.

I undid the button on his boxer shorts and let his rock hard erection out and started stroking him. I was surprised that he hadn't woken up from me stroking him. I was deciding if I should crawl under the blankets and really give him something to wake up to. I smiled devilishly and crawled under the blankets and started sucking and stroking him. He finally woke up and looked under the blankets and saw me go to town on his erection. I looked up and smiled around his well endowed member. He pulled me back up to the pillow.

I wasn't expecting the next thing. He flipped me on my back and started kissing and nipping my neck. He whispered in my ear. "see what you started, you little minx."

"Technically, your cock started it when it poked me. I was just returning the favor."

"Throttle told me you had a very healthy sexual appetite. He wasn't kidding. He also said you're very adventurous in bed."

"Wanna find out how adventurous I am?"

Modo looked away like I said something wrong.

"What's wrong, Modo? Did I say something wrong?"

"Honestly Michelle, it feels wrong. I know you and Throttle are friends now, but I can't disrespect him like this. And I can't betray the love I still have for Charley."

"Charley would want you to move on and give that love to the next woman you date."

"You think so?"

"I know so. If it turns out I'm your next love, then please share what you had with Charley, with me. If I don't end being your next love, then share that love with whoever you get together with."

"I see why you and Charley were such good friends. Throttle was kinda hoping you and I would get together one day."

"I'm not surprised. I was starting to develop feelings for you while you and Charley were still married and I was still married to Throttle. I wanted to pin you to a wall and suck your well endowed cock every time I was around you."

That bit of news shocked him. "Really? Since we're being honest here. I've always found you incredibly gorgeous and wanted to have a 3some with you and Throttle, but knew Charley wouldn't want me to. I still kinda want that 3some with you and Throttle. I just don't know what could happen after."

"What do you mean?"

Modo didn't say a word. I knew what he was referring to.

"You're afraid I might get back with Throttle afterwards, aren't you?"

"Kinda, yeah. Honestly Michelle, I don't think I could find a woman like you out there. One look at me, and they'd run."

"Charley didn't run from you and I'm certainly not running."

During our talk, I had felt his right hand between my legs. That metal hand sent shivers up and down my spine. He was relishing in it, too.

"You're loving this, aren't you?"

He gave me a devilish grin then bent down and kissed me. He still had his hand between my legs while he kissed me. He was getting me so wet just playing with my clit and sticking his fingers inside me. I wanted him inside me so bad, but I wasn't gonna push him.

I had moaned against his kiss and it spurred him on more and more. I was hoping this is what he wants. There's no turning back now.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

About 2½ hrs. later, after simple foreplay, we had crashed for the night. I think just Modo getting me off helped me sleep better. I plan to talk to him in the morning and see if he's wanting a relationship or just the occasional fun in the sack.

The feelings that I had developed while still married to Throttle had gotten stronger after the divorce and even stronger after what we just did. I'm betting he wanted more, but just getting me off was enough for him. For tonight, anyway.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The next morning, I had woken up to the sound of the shower going. I got out of bed and grabbed a robe that was sitting on the chair across from the bed. I put it on and tied it, then walked into the bathroom.

I turned the water on in the sink and started splashing water on my face before I started washing it. I grabbed the soap on my left, lathered it up, put the soap back on the counter then started washing my face.

After I splashed water on my face to wash the soap off, I grabbed the hand towel that was hanging on the wall to my left. I dried my face then looked in the mirror. I noticed that my hair was longer than I wanted it. I prefer my hair short. I turned the water off, set the hand towel on the counter. Then I opened the drawer to my right and pulled out the scissors. I pulled my hair over my right shoulder and put the scissors where I wanted to cut my hair.

Right before I started cutting my hair, Modo had already gotten out of the shower and dried off. Then he wrapped the towel around his waist. He walked a short distance and noticed that I was about to cut my hair.

"Why are you going to cut your hair? You look good with it long?"

"I don't like long hair on myself. The day you guys met me, I had short hair. I'm going back to the short hair again."

Modo took the scissors from me and put them away. "Please don't cut your hair. I liked putting my fingers through it last night."

"Speaking of last night. I needed that to relax. Thank you." Then I hugged him.

He smiled and hugged me back. Then he took my hand and guided me to the edge of the bed. He had me sit down, then he sat down next to me.

"What's going on? Everything ok?"

"Throttle text me early this morning while you were asleep. He wants to come visit."

"So, what's wrong with that? He's welcome to."

Then it dawned on me why he's so worried about Throttle coming to visit.

"I know why you're worried about him showing up. You're still worried that I might get back with him, aren't you?"

He nodded then grabbed my left hand and kissed the top of it.

"I won't lie to you. I'm very worried about that. I've developed feelings for you over the past year, but wasn't sure how you felt about me. Then I remembered that you had told me that you had started developing feelings for me while you were married to Throttle and I was married to Charley. Do you still have feelings for me since the divorce?"

"Of course, I do. My feelings for you have gotten stronger since the divorce. After last night, I know what I want. I just don't know if you want the same thing."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't just want an occasional romp in the sack with you. I want something more. I've been wanting a relationship from you since I divorced Throttle."

"I didn't want to say anything 'til you said something, but technically, we have been in a relationship, you just never knew it." Then he remembered something he has in his room.

"I need to get something from my room. Why don't you go take a shower. After I get what I need, I'll make breakfast for you."

"You don't need to make breakfast for me. I can do that."

"I know, but you shouldn't need to. Let me do this for you."

I smiled and nodded. "Ok. I'll let you make breakfast…just for today. I also need to do some grocery shopping today, too."

"We can do that. Go enjoy your shower, then come enjoy a hot breakfast. What do you want for breakfast?"

"Eggs and toast sound good."

"Eggs and toast it is. I'll have it ready by the time you're done." Then he left my room and walked into the kitchen to get breakfast going.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

While I was taking my shower, I could smell the eggs cooking. I couldn't wait to eat. I was hungry.

I had finished washing my body not long after washing my hair. I rinsed off then shut the water off. I opened the shower door and grabbed the towel hanging on the wall. I dried off then stepped out.

I did another wipe down of my body to make sure I was completely dry, then got dressed. I was so hungry that I would have walked out of my room naked and sit down at the table to eat.

After I was dressed, I hung up the towel then walked to the dinner table and pulled out the chair. I sat down and waited for my breakfast. All I could do was smell it while I was taking a shower.

Modo scooped eggs onto a plate, grabbed a fork out of the drawer then brought my breakfast over. I grabbed the fork and dug in. He stood there for a few mins. after I swallowed my bite, I told him they were better than what I make.

"Thank you. Glad you like them. Toast will be done shortly. Lightly toasted, right?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Just a guess. Enjoy your eggs." Then he set down a little red box next to my plate and went back to making more eggs.

I looked at the box, then at Modo. "What's this?"

"Open it and find out. Make sure you don't have food in your mouth first. I don't want you to choke."

I put my fork down, wiped my mouth and picked up the little red box and opened it. I was shocked. I turned towards Modo. "Is this what I think?"

"Yep. Do you like it?"

"It's beautiful. No way is this for me."

"Actually, it is. Do I need to come over there and get on one knee and ask?"

I chuckled a bit. "No, you don't. My answer is yes."

Modo stopped what he was doing and looked over at me.

"Really? You're not gonna take some time think about it or anything?"

"Nope. I told you I know what I want."

He moved the pan off the burner then walked over to me and hugged me. He also surprised me with a kiss. He walked back to the stove and turned it off. He scooped the eggs onto a plate, grabbed a fork from the drawer and put it on the plate. Modo put the pan in the sink with water and soap, then grabbed his plate. He came over and sat down next to me.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

An hour later, we got changed and headed out to do some grocery shopping. We had talked about Throttle coming to visit for a while. I assured Modo that I have no plans on getting back together with Throttle. Once I put the ring on, I am 100% faithful. I don't cheat.

He felt a bit better knowing that I am faithful to him and that I don't cheat. He leaned over a bit and kissed my cheek.

We were almost done grocery shopping when we saw Tony. He waved to me and I waved back. It was good to see him again. He walked up to us and hugged me, then his uncle Modo.

"It's so good to see you again, mom. I had missed you so much. I called Ty and he told me you and dad are divorced. I'm sorry."

"Don't be. It's for the best. I am engaged to someone new, though."

"Who?"

"Your uncle. Your aunt Charley passed away same time your father and I got divorced."

Tony looked shocked when I told him his aunt was dead.

"When? How?"

I looked at Modo, who shook his head. I looked back at Tony.

"It's best I not bring it up right now. It's still a touchy subject with your uncle."

Tony then realized that her death was bad and left it alone. "So, are you visiting or did you move back?"

"I moved back. Have you called your brother and apologized to him?"

"Yes mom. Then he told me everything that has been going on. Sorry for putting you in the middle of all this, uncle Modo. My problem with my parents shouldn't have been your problem."

"Apology accepted, Anthony. I knew you were going through things. I was glad to just be there for you."

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

While Tony and Modo were talking, I texted Throttle and let him know that he was welcome to visit. I was surprised I got a text back not long after I sent him one. He told me that he been on the way when I text him. He was at a rest stop.

I put my phone away and told Modo that I'd like to finish grocery shopping.

I told Tony that he was welcome to come by anytime, just call first, then I hugged him. He hugged me back, then went our separate ways.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

When we got home, Modo helped me bring the groceries inside the house. I hadn't told him that I went ahead and told Throttle that he could come visit. I figured it was best to wait 'til after the groceries are put away.

While we were putting groceries away, I had decided to make some coffee. It sounded good. Especially, with what I have to tell Modo. I know he's worried about Throttle even being here and I understand his concern, but he doesn't need to worry about me getting back with Throttle. I have no intentions on getting back with him. When I'm with someone, I'm faithful 'til I die.

Modo noticed that I had sat down at the table with a cup of coffee. He finished putting the last 2 items in the cupboard then came over and sat down next to me.

"You ok?"

"I know you're worried about Throttle being here, but I had invited him over. Please don't be mad at me."

Modo smiled. "I'm not mad. He had texted me and told me."

I sighed in relief. I had thought he was gonna get upset, but he didn't.
