Chapter Two
Paul and Stephanie left Tampa after a few days and Dave spent the next two weeks with Leila. They found they really enjoyed eachother and made eachother laugh. Dave was so relaxed with her and it was easy to talk about his innermost thoughts and feelings. He told her things he hadn't shared with anybody else. She learned he had two daughters and his face lit up when he talked about them. He had become friends with his first wife and easily admitted they were too young. They had parted years ago amicably and she never asked for a thing from Dave, just a relationship with his kids. That was all he wanted. He sent her money all the time and had even introduced her to her current husband. Leila could tell he had a hard time talking about Angie, wife #2, and what she did to him. He stood by her through ovarian cancer and the flare up in her lower intestines. They were going to separate three years ago, but decided to try again when she was diagnosed. She left him for one of her doctors.
Dave and Leila spent nights curled up together on her couch watching movies and talking. They were so comfortable with eachother it felt natural. They subconsciously started doing things like a married couple or one that had been together for awhile. It was like Dave had always lived there. The morning Dave was flying out to get his girls and bring them back his phone rang. (Neither Dave or his first wife felt comfortable with them flying alone). He was in the shower and had left it in the kitchen. She let it go to voicemail, but the caller kept calling back. She began to wonder if it was an emergency. She looked at the caller id and it was his oldest daughter.
"Hello?" She said hesitantly.
"Umm, did I call the wrong number?" Leila began to get nervous.
"No, is this Abby?" Leila asked, already knowing.
"Yes, is this Leila?" Abby perked up; relieved she hadn't been dialing the wrong number.
"Yes, are you okay?" Leila asked worriedly.
"We're fine. We're just excited to see Dad later and wanted to hear his voice." Abby said and Leila heard Maggie in the background. "Oh and we can't wait to meet you, we've heard so much about you."
Leila had to giggle at that. "Thank you and I'm looking forward to meeting you both. We've looked at a couple places but nothing seriously; he really wanted to wait for you both to be here." Leila said knowing the girls would love that. She walked to her guestroom and knocked on the door. She got no answer and peeked in to see it empty. She heard the shower still running so she plopped on the bed on her belly and chatted with his girls. She enjoyed listening to them talk all about Disneyworld and they both talked animatedly about all the cute guys they'd seen. Sure, they were a little old for the amusement parks, but had a great time anyway just hanging out with their Mom. Abby wanted to be a zoologist and was so emotional about seeing the safari park. She was so passionate about African animals it made Leila want to share her own experiences with her but thought better of it and would share her stories when they got here.
Leila didn't hear the water turn off but soon sensed his presence. She looked toward the bathroom and Dave was leaning against the door frame wearing only a towel and a few water droplets. He smirked when Leila's mouth hung open and she dropped the phone. She quickly recovered, "um, you're Dad's out of the shower now, did you want to talk to him?" Her eyes still glued to the specimen in front of her. She held the phone out to Dave. He walked slowly to her, two sets of eyes unable to look anywhere else. He took the phone and began talking to his girls. Leila rolled to her back and covered her eyes with her hands. She felt the movement on the bed and glanced over. Dave was lying next to her still looking at her. He talked for a few more minutes and ended the call after reviewing the plans for tomorrow. The sexual tension couldn't have gotten any thicker than this moment. Their faces were less than 12 inches apart and they could feel eachother's breath. Leila was painfully aware of the excruciatingly delightful throbbing between her legs that screamed for release. She could see that Dave was grinding his teeth together and she could feel herself doing the same thing. He regretfully got up from the bed. He wanted to make love to her over and over but he had to go to the airport in a half hour. He also wanted to wait. He knew this was something to be treasured and enjoyed. He knew there would be plenty of time to enjoy Leila. She sat up on her elbows still looking into his eyes. "I'll let you get dressed, um, ok. Yeah, I'll just be in the family room." She took a deep breath and walked to the door. She looked back at Dave who was still looking at her. He wanted to grab her and kiss her and feel her body against his. All in due time, David, all in due time. Leila closed the door and he could hear her lean back against it. At least he knew she felt the same shit he did. Physically anyway. He wondered if she felt the same about the rest. He finished getting dressed and went to the family room. He didn't see her anywhere around and began to wonder what happened.
"Leila?" Dave called as he continued to look. "Leila?" He couldn't find her and she wasn't answering. His voice got a little more frantic and firm. "Leila!" He started running through the house screaming for her, panic set in quite quickly. "Leila!" He ran outside to check around the house and she heard him calling for her.
"Dave! I'm over here." She called to him as she jogged back up the beach. He ran as fast as he could to her and grabbed her in a tight hug.
"Shit, you scared the fuck out of me. Don't do that again, please." He broke the hug and looked her over as if checking for injuries. Leila couldn't help but giggle at his concern but she wondered why he had such a crazy reaction to her being on the beach. He hugged her tight again. "You're coming with me to get the girls."
"Dave, I don't think I should. You're already bringing them back here and staying here, don't you want some alone time with them?" Leila was hesitant. For some reason she felt like the new girl under inspection by the family.
"Fine, but you stay inside and lock the doors behind me. Don't open them for anyone." He held her hand tight and they walked back into the house in silence. He picked up the keys to his SUV and he still held her hand as they walked to the garage. Dave turned and looked at her. He tugged her hand and pulled her closer. Her body lightly pressed to his and they both took in a sharp breath. "Please, Leila." Dave took her face in his hands and stroked her cheeks. Leila let her hands rest on his hips. The electric passing through them was hard to resist. They looked into eachother's eyes and expressed everything they'd been feeling for the past few weeks. She felt herself naturally start to shake from the anticipation of what was to come. Dave wasn't sure if he should kiss her gently or slam his mouth to hers and let out all his penned up sexual frustration. His left hand slid to the back of her head and his fingers wove into her hair. He slid his other hand down her neck and back to her ass. He easily lifted her and placed Leila on the hood of his SUV. He moved between her legs and pulled her forward causing a light moan to escape her lips. "Leila…" he whispered as he continued to look into her eyes.
"Kiss me, Dave." She whispered in return. That was all he needed and his right hand matched his left, woven in her hair and he pulled her head forward. He opted for a mix of his two previous choices and kissed her firmly. Another moan came from Leila only this one was filled with emotion. The kisses became gentle as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. Leila wrapped her arms around his neck and let her hands snake through his hair. She wrapped her legs around him and pulled him as close as she could. The kiss became more hungry and desperate as they feasted on eachother. "Dave…" she said several times in between kisses. "Dave…".
"Hmm" He didn't want to stop kissing her and wished she'd stop talking and then reality dawned on him. The girls! He reluctantly broke the kiss and held her tight. "I'm sorry." He said as he helped her down from the hood.
"For what?" She hoped he didn't regret the kiss.
"For losing control. I apologize. I'll be back as soon as I get the girls and I mean what I said about staying…" He was stopped by her tiny hand placed against his lips.
"Don't." She pulled his head to her and kissed him again. "Be careful and I'll lock the doors behind you." She kissed him again and this time a moan escaped from Dave. She pushed him towards the door of the SUV while still kissing him. She opened the door and backed him into the seat, only then breaking the kiss. She closed the door before he could say anything and walked to the door to the house. When he started the car she turned and smiled and waved. Dave smiled back and just stared at her. He could feel himself caving in to her quick, fast and in a hurry. She turned and went inside closing the door behind her. "Holy shit, I think I need to go masturbate. Or hope I get laid tonight." Leila said to nobody in particular. Little did she know Dave was having the exact same conversation with himself.
