After people ate they began to stand up, go to the bar, and mingle among each other, just talking. Tony finally seemed comfortable, and he stayed and talked to some of the guys while I went and talked with the girls. About a half hour later, everybody was up, and it was quite a nice little party. While talking, I noticed Tony sitting by himself at one of the center tables, rubbing his eyes. I excused myself and walked towards him, knowing the girls were probably watching but not caring. I sat down in the chair next to him and rubbed the back of his neck with one hand, his neck clearly exposed as his face was pointing down to the ground."You okay sweetie?" I asked him, placing my other hand on his hidden face.
He seemed to relax a little at my touch and he looked up at me.
"Yeah," he said, "It's just-"
He cut himself off, resting his head right below my neck. I ran my fingers through his hair and kissed him on his head, getting up to get him another drink. I went to the bar and ordered another rum. I walked back over to where Tony was sitting and sat down next to him, handing him his drink. He looked up at me slightly when he took a sip and closed his eyes as the liquor touched his lips.
"Baby, we can go home anytime," I said.
I was really worried. I knew that Tony was upset. I think it was a shock for him to see everybody after almost being put in prison.
"Sweetheart," I said, my hand behind his neck, kissing him under his eye on his cheek.
"Yeah, okay," he said, resting his forehead on my shoulder.
I stoked his hair and kissed him on the side of the neck.
"What do you wanna do?" I whispered in his ear.
"Let's go home," he said, kissing me quickly on the mouth.
"Okay," I said. I stood up, and he grabbed my hand, intertwining his fingers in mine.
"Jack," I said, walking up to him and putting my free hand on his shoulder to get his attention.
"Hey. Are you guys leaving?"
"Yeah. It's late, and we should get going. Thank you so much; this was wonderful," I said.
"Yeah, well, I hope you guys had a good time," Jack said.
"We did; thanks Jack. I'm assuming we are still on for watching football tomorrow?" Tony asked.
"Yeah. Chase and Kim are coming too right?" Jack asked.
"Yes," Tony said.
"Well, we'll see you tomorrow then," I said.
We said our goodbyes to everyone and walked out of the restaurant, hand in hand, Tony's head resting on my shoulder. We drove home and got into the house.
"You okay honey?"
"I'm fine," Tony said, going into the bedroom and sitting on the edge of the bed.
I sighed and went into the bedroom after him. He hadn't even bothered to turn the light on and I could see the pain reflected in his eyes. I bent down and slipped off his shoes, next stepping out of mine. I climbed on top of him, putting one of my legs on each side of him, my arms around his neck, our bodies pressed up against each other. I kissed him all over the face, starting on his cheek, then under his eye, on his forehead, his nose, and finally his lips. As I pulled my lips back from his he leaned forward and pulled my lips back onto his. He pushed his tongue into my mouth, putting his hands on my thighs, underneath my skirt. As he pulled my shirt over my head, I leant down and kissed him again.
"C'mon," I said quietly, "let's have a bath."
Tony nodded. He was really in a down mood and needed me to be there to take care of him, like he did for me when I was sad. I began to unbutton his shirt. Once he was down to his boxers we went into the bathroom, and I started the water. Tony sat down on the side of the bathtub. There was almost a hopelessness about him, a weakness. I removed the rest of my clothing and he did the same and we got into the bubble bath. I sat behind him with a sponge and spread foam all over his body. He laid back onto me and closed his eyes. I could tell he was relaxing in the foaming water. I had lit candles so that it was dark enough for him to relax but so that I could still see. Finally he seemed calmed down, so I got out of the bathtub, wrapping a towel around me, and then around him. I blew out the candles and walked him into bed. He grabbed his boxers, and I put a t-shirt and flannel pajama bottoms on. Tony crawled up onto my chest and rested his head there, both arms around my body. I stroked his hair as he drifted off, next whispering an, "I love you," to his sleeping form, then closing my eyes and falling asleep.
