Chapter 15

July 4th was always a big day for the bohemians, they always threw a party on the roof of the loft. It was an annual thing that they had been doing for years, first there was a BBQ during the day, followed by a fireworks spectacular at night. Roger would always get some illegal fireworks from Chinatown, any chance he had to mess with the law.
It was about 2 o'clock when everyone finally showed up. Mimi, Angel, and Maureen sat around a small table that was set up on the roof, Eva was down in the loft sleeping being watched by Mark and Roger. Collins and Joanne were moving the barbeque out from its hidden place under one of the tarps on the roof. Once they finally managed to set it up, Mark come off the stairs and onto the roof.

"So I talked him out of the leather pants, then spent the next hour getting him out of the leather pants" He said to the girls as he walked over to their table, then collapsed in an empty chair next to Angel.

"It took you an hour to get a pair of pants off a man?" Angel inquired in total disbelief.

"Next time try wearing a little Chanel No. 5 and a tube top" she added while patting him on the shoulder. Mark looked totally horrified by the whole idea, and just blew it off with some laughter before adding.

"I think I'll leave that job up to you, I don't have the shoulders for it. What is taking Roger so long"

"I'll go get him, I was just going to down to get Eva anyway. She sleeps too much" Angel said while getting up from her chair.

"Just like her mother" Collins managed to call from across the roof.

"I heard that, don't make me give you a spanking mister." She retorted.

"Is that a threat or a promise?" He asked while flashing his trademark grin, that could make anyone melt on the spot. Angel just responded with a wink and pranced off down the stairs to the loft.

Roger had just woken up Eva, and was proceeding to change her when Angel reached the doorway. When he finished he looked at the clock and exclaimed:

"Yes! I beat my old record by 2 minutes." He gave Eva a little high five, then picked up the stuffed cow, put it in front of his face and started using it as a puppet to talk to Eva.

"Hi Eva, look its me your Aunt Maureen in doll form. So are you being a good girl for your Uncle Roger? Yes, yes you are." Eva just laughed in response as Roger moved the cow back and forth before her eyes.

"Awe Roger your heart is almost as big as your hair" Angel chimed in while watching the scene take place. Roger jumped a little in shock, he hadn't known anyone was watching.

"Angel, I didn't know you were coming down. How long you been listening"

"Long enough to be witness to your amazing puppetry skills. Bravo." Angel said with a clap while walking over and picking up her baby, . "I'm going to bring her up to the party, can you grab that play pen for me"

"Yes ma'am" Roget said while giving her a salute, and stuffing the cow under his left arm.

Night had finally fallen, Maureen was holding Eva and walking near the side of the roof pointing out the fireworks that were going off further uptown. Mimi leaded over and tapped Angel, who was staring off to where Collins and Roger stood, and asked her in a low voice.

"You ok? You've seemed to be a little out of it all day. Something happen"

"Me and Collins had this little fight before we left early"

"You guys seemed perfectly fine early. Oh honey, what happened"

"He didn't want to come today, he says he has to many papers to grade." Angel took a deep breath and continued on with the story. "All he does is work, gets up at six comes home at seven and then grades papers the rest of the night. It sounds pathetic but I'm becoming jealous of … of term papers"

"Honey its not pathetic you just want attention from your hot and sexy man." Mimi gave Angel a hug and told her. "You know what you have to do? Go home, put on something sexy, and take him right there on top of those stupid papers"

They sat there laughing for awhile before Mimi looked in Maureen's direction.

"You sure you trust Maureen being so close to the side of the building with Eva? She's had a few drinks in her, and you know how she gets remember last year"

"Mark's over there I'm sure he'll keep her under control"

Mark had his camera out and was walking over to Maureen and Eva.

"Here we have Eva on her first 4th of July, wave hi the camera Eva. " Maureen picked up Eva's chubby little hand and started waving it at Mark.

"Hi Uncle Mark, next time I see you I'm gonna have a big surprise for you. Aunt Maureen wants to know when are we going to be lighting our own fireworks?" Maureen said in a childlike voice while pretending to be Eva.

"Maureen you know I'm not letting you near those fireworks again. Not after what happened last time"

"I set one little thing on fire and you're forbidding me to touch matches"

"One little thing? Maureen you singed my eyebrows off"

"They grew back didn't they?" Maureen turned and directed herself towards Angel and the others. Angel was dozing off on Mimi's left shoulder, when Maureen came over.

"You ok? I never thought I'd see the day when Angel would be asleep by 10 o'clock" Maureen inquired as she stepped up to Angel's semi-sleeping form.

"Yeah I'm fine Maureen, just tired from taking care of this one all day. Come here sweetheart." She gently took Eva into her own arms and placed her on her lap. "You ready to go home and go to sleep?" Eva shook her head back and forth, Angel shook her head along with Eva. "No, no the night is young?" Angel gave Eva a big kiss on the cheek, to which Eva replied with a squeal.

Roger who been setting up the fireworks turned around and announced the beginning of his fireworks show. Mark pulled his camera back out and pointed it towards Roger.

"Here we see Roger getting ready to start his own fireworks demonstration. Hopefully with a lot less cursing then last year, and without the trip to the burn unit." He darted the camera towards Maureen as he said this. Maureen just stuck her tongue out at the camera. Roger then bent down and lit the first fuse, then after a short time there was a loud bang and the firework zoomed into the air. Eva, who had been scared by the blast, started crying. Angel immediately tried to calm her down, Collins leaned in to help out.

"Eva baby its not that bad, look at all the pretty colors. Come on look." He pointed his finger towards the sky where a bunch of red lights had just be admitted from a launched firework. Eva followed his finger and just began to whimper instead. Collins took Eva into his arms and brought her towards his chest and began making shhing sounds. Rogers little light show continued for another ten minutes before they heard the sirens and decided to end it before they all got arrested.

Eva was still a little shaken by her first fireworks experience so Angel resolved it was time to take her back home. They walked back to their apartment, Collins had his left arm around Angel's shoulders. Eva had fallen asleep in Angel's arms, the stuffed cow squished between them and her thumb in her mouth.

Once back at their place, Angel went to lay Eva down in her crib, and Collins went to the kitchen table to start work again on grading a stack of term papers. Collins needed to finish grading them, he had promised his students he would get them back within the week, and no one wants a group of college students bitching about when they were getting their papers back. He had volunteered to teach six each courses this summer, and he had made the mistake of assigning a 15 page term paper, and was now stuck grading them all at once.

Collins was in the middle of writing a huge "C" on the top of one paper, when he felt someone come up behind him, and then sit on the corner of the table.

"Baby, all you've been doing for the past month is grade papers, and I feel like these papers are getting more attention then me."

"I know but I need to finish this. I promise next week you will have my undivided attention." Collins didn't even look up from his papers as he said this, leading Angel to just get up off the table and walk away pouting. Collins felt bad because he had been devoting so much time to his work, but they needed the money. The party today at the loft was a break from the work, he almost was going to go but Angel insisted, yet the whole time he couldn't stop thinking about the pile of papers waiting for him. He would make this all up to her, somehow. It went back to his grading, becoming more and more stressed with each one. Collins had put his head down, taking a short mental break, when he heard the click of high heels behind him.

"Turn around" Came a seductive voice from somewhere behind him.

"Angel I already told you…" Collins voiced trailed off as he turned around and caught glimpse of his lover. He first saw her legs then worked his eyes up her body, his mouth falling open with each inch he saw. She had on black vinyl stiletto heels , with teal fishnets that traveled up her longs legs and connected themselves to a rhinestone garter belt. Her clothing consisted of a black lace thong, and a lacy teal chemise. Collins noted that the teal coloring of the chemise and fishnets stood out against her tanned skin. He sat there with his mouth open like a dog, as she sauntered forward towards the table. Angel got on the edge, her face plastered with a sneaky smile, all he could so was give a confused smile back. She then took all of his papers and shoved them onto the floor, before throwing herself at him and assaulting him with a bunch of passionate kisses.

"I'm not let paperwork take my place tonight. You can't fuck a piece of paper baby." She then proceeded to pull him on the table.

"I really need to…" Angel had him straddled on the table before he could finish that sentence.

"I really don't care about your students right now, I've gone without sex for the past month they can wait." Collins was about to protest when Angel crashed her lips onto his, her hands working the clasp of his belt. His hands traveled up her shapely legs till he came to the rhinestone garter belt.

"Where did you get this?" He asked as he dragged his hand over the rough rhinestones. Collins became almost mesmerized by the shiny belt, he couldn't take his eyes away.

"Why you like it?" Collins just nodded. "The salesgirl was right said no man in his right mind could resist it" They tumbled around on the table top, ripping off clothing all the while trying not to fall of the edge. After a few minutes of groping hands, Collins was in only a pair of pants which were begging to come off, and Angel was left in only that rhinestone belt which Collins seemed fascinated with. Angel found herself still on top of her man, using her teeth to undo the zipper of his pants, then ripping them off leaving him in only his boxers. Which left very little to the imagination. She rubbed her hands over his biceps, massaging as she went.

"Honey you're so tense, what have these students been doing to you?" She lower her head and brought her lips to his neck, Angel felt a shiver go through his body. She moved lower to his collarbone, kissing and nibbling the muscle. Collins meanwhile was moving his hands along the back of his lovers thighs, before lifting his right hand and giving her a hard smack on the ass. This caused Angel to admit a small yelp, but she lowered her head again and began leaving a path of kisses down his chest, his stomach, and finally his trail. Angel's eyes traveled down the line of fine black hairs to the covered object of her desire. She could feel his want pressing into her chest, she took her hands and lowered the edge of his boxers, then pulled them off and threw them into the forming pile of clothes and papers.

As Angel's hot breath blew over his erection, Collins took in a sharp breath and threw his head back. She began leaving small kisses up and down the sides, as she twisted her hand around the base. Angel left one kiss under the head before taking him into her mouth. She bobbed her head up and down, and used her teeth to graze the sides gently. When Collins felt the head hit the back of her throat he let out a huge exhale and screamed out breathlessly .

"You fucking whore." All she did was shake her head yes, all the while bringing him deeper down her throat. His breath became quicker as she moved her head faster, feeling him reaching his peak she pulled her mouth away. She had a teasing smile on her lips, when she moved up to face him again. Collins propped himself on his elbows and greeted her with a small kiss.

She positioned herself over his erection, and slowly lowered herself down onto him. Angel hadn't had time to grab any lube, but she didn't care she liked her sex rough. She let out little cries as she moved herself lower, pressure building up inside her. Collins felt her close around his hardness and couldn't help but fall back onto the table, his arms giving out. Angel rocked her hips back and forth, using her stomach muscles to make herself clench even more tightly around him. Both their heart rates spend up faster, and their breaths become more labored. Collins had his hands firmly on her hips, quickening her pace, and giving him balance as he thrust upward. Collins gave one final thrust before letting out a loud cry and spilling himself inside her. Angel's orgasm followed soon after, with a cry of Collins name. She fell forward onto his chest, breathing heavily. They lay there for a few moments, laying in each others embrace, Collins was the first to speak.

"You gonna pick those papers up"

"No way in hell."
