The Dream

I felt his hand caressing my face and the other holding my body down to the bed. I awaited his lips as I felt those butterfly kisses on my chest, reaching my nipple. I arched up to his mouth wanting him to take it in his mouth. I was going crazy with need and couldn't do much about it because I was so restricted. The hand holding me down finally released me and snaked between my thighs to my hot center. I gasped feeling short of breath as his thick fingers penetrated me. I felt his weight on me and I couldn't help but relish in that felling. His muscles flexed under my fingertips as I moved them up and down his back.

"Say me name, baby." He whispered into my ear feeling his hot breath on me.

I tried to hold back but feeling what he was doing with his fingers was starting to get to me.

I moaned out, digging my nails into his back, "Oh Dave."

I sat up, breathing heavily. Oh great, I can't believe it; everything was so vivid and real. I looked to the side and saw Ricky was already out of bed. I wonder if he heard me or if there was anything to be heard. That's all I need is to dream about my ex. It's nothing, it's just the fact that he touched me and that I have seen him recently.

It will pass I'm sure. I got out of bed and got ready for early dance class. I brushed my hair into a bun. My body still felt slightly sensitive after that dream. It's just the fact that I really haven't gotten laid by my husband. No matter, I have to deal with real life now.

I started breakfast hoping that Rick would stay and eat with me. I happened to look out the window towards Dave's house. A part of me wondered what was he doing, that was the part that was still in that dream.

I went outside to grab the paper and saw most of the neighborhood women outside. What's going on? Janice was watering her lawn and I caught Kendra messing around with her garden. They usually pay someone to do this and then sleep with them.

I saw the exact reason jogging his way down the street in his vinyl jogging pants and no shirt. Of course, he knew what he was doing making everyone want him. Always have to e the center of attention. Besides, don't he have a gym to do all that in. Hey, when did he get that, I thought as I saw the tattoo covering his entire back. I shouldn't be apart of this group, so I went back into the house without giving a second glance towards him. Every woman around here is going to try to jump on him.

I finished up breakfast when Ricky came downstairs. He took a look at his watch before I approached him.

"Honey, you want some breakfast?"

"Divine, I have to go ahead and go in early so I can make it to that BBQ."

"Ricky, please eat with me. I want to make sure my husband is getting a balance meal and oh yea, spends time with me."

"I will, just later. Besides, you have dance class."

"Have to throw that in my face?" I pouted.

"Divine, I'm not sure what's going on with, but I'm guessing it's a woman thing. You may need to come to the hospital later anyway."

"Why?"

"I heard you in there moaning in pain. Are you alright?"

My eyes widen, "You heard that?" he nodded.

"It was kind of hard not to hear."

"Oh, it's probably a woman thing like you said. Have a good day." Now I wanted him out of the house.

"Yea, okay." Without so much as a kiss he left. I sighed to myself watching him from the door pull out.

I glanced over and saw Dave heading to his door. That must have been his second time around. He looked up at me and we locked eyes briefly. I don't have time for this. I went back inside ready to start on the day; I know I have to cook for that thing tonight. I was getting a migraine quick thinking about all of this is for Dave. Well, it's time to blow some steam.

I drove to the studio and set up for my first class. My first class is usually full of older couples. They are so cute as they looked at each other so lovingly. I hoped one day that would be me, that much in love at that age.

They started to pile in on time as I was getting the music ready. What I mainly teach them is waltz and the basics of salsa. Just a little exercise for them because there was even couples from a retirement home that comes here.

"Hello, Divine." I looked behind me and saw Mrs. Yong.

"Hello ma'am, how are you doing today?"

"Good, how is your husband?"

"He's at the hospital and he's okay."

"Seems like you spend a lot of your time here instead of with him, dear."

"He works a lot, it's okay."

She took my hand, "You are too young and too pretty a girl to be waiting on your husband." With a pat of my hand, she joined her husband.

What was that all about? I wondered if she spoke to anyone about Ricky and me. I just shook it off and got ready to teach the class.

After my first couple of morning classes, I was ready for lunch. I haven't heard from Dave, so I'm guessing he was getting everything ready downstairs. I usually have a sandwich delivered here while I sat in my office. Today, I brought my lunch but still went into my office with my headsets on, eating. I was trying to get a feel of this music Amy gave me to make a routine for my younger class. For their class, I teach tango and hip-hop, but Amy was telling me that I should combine the dance for one routine.

I took off my jacket and settled into my chair. I totally shut out the world trying to think of the movement to go along with the music.

"Hey!" I heard as something pulled one of earpieces out.

I looked up and saw Dave standing there in his jeans and black shirt, towering over me. Oh crap, that dream started to plague my head again.

"What?" I said.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm just listening to music and eating lunch. Is there something wrong?"

"I just needed your help right quick."

"Really? Why?"

"John is going to be staying here waiting on some people to deliver part of the gym equipment. I need to go and talk to a couple of people about more equipment."

"Why do you need me?"

He sighed, setting himself on top of my desk, "Do I have to beg?"

"Don't I deserve a reason?" I noticed that he was looking down but not into my eyes.

That's when I noticed that I was in just my sports bra. I got a little heated under his gaze and got up.

"Look, I figured this place is yours as much as mine and your opinion does matter. It's both of our names out there."

"I have the dance class, you have the gym." I said.

"I'm trying to make you feel a part of this, besides there is going to be a woman's locker room, don't you think part of your dance class is either going to workout or use that room?"

"What kind of equipment were you looking at?" I sighed finally giving in.

"Just some weights and cardio equipment."

"Just make sure I'm back in another hour. I have my other class to teach."

"No problem, you may want to put something on though."

"Very funny." I said grabbing my jacket and putting it on.

We drove in his truck making small talk. I asked him about everything he was doing before moving here. The wrestling world does sound interesting, I remember he use to let me go to a match he would have as practice and sometimes I was so worried about him. He always assured me that he was all right. I also forgot how funny Dave use to be. He would try anything to make me laugh.

After looking at equipment, he took me to a bistro for lunch since I didn't finish mine.

"I appreciate this Dave, thanks." I said.

"No problem, I was getting hungry myself."

"So, when do you think you will be able to open up?"

"Shouldn't take that long. The plumber should be coming over there to check on everything for the locker rooms and sauna room."

"That's right. The only thing is we don't have a pool."

"It's cool, there's going to be a Jacuzzi and sauna room. So, I can't help but see that you and Ricky don't have any children."

I sighed, "Yea, it just hasn't been the right time."

"The right time? Didn't you say that you have been married for five years?"

"Yea, we are both very busy."

"I know you love children. How many were we going to have?"

I laughed, "You wanted four, I was happy with at least two."

"You know I come from a big family and my mom wasn't going let us go far with just one child."

"How is your mom?" I asked.

"She's good, she asked me about you a couple of weeks ago. She said that she had a dream about seeing you." I smiled to myself, "I'll give you her number so that you can call her."

"Oh good, it'll be nice to talk to her again."

"Do I really have to go to this BBQ?" he said with a sigh.

"Oh why wouldn't you? You are the guest of honor."

"Yea, I notice the women around the neighborhood sort of gather around me."

"You are a hot commodity. We don't get too many single men around there, so to see you, is making all the women a little bit naughty."

"Have you been spreading rumors about me?" he said raising his eyebrow.

"Please, I'm not going to tell those women how you are in bed."

"Don't want to be getting jealous because of all the attention." I started laughing.

"Classic Dave, think everything is about you."

"I have a party in my favor, how can I not think it's not about me? Besides, you know how fun it was in bed. How we use to be all over the place in my apartment, in my car, at your school."

"Yea, I remember." I said trying to stop this from going too far, "It was great and in the past."

His hand reached over to touch mine, rubbing the back of my hand. I looked into his eyes, noticing that he was looking at me with that lusting look. I love that look on him, it was almost as if I was the only thing around and I returned that gaze every time. Instantly, my fingers wriggled and lightly touched his hand. I had that dream in my head, feeling his fingertips leaving a burning trail on my skin. I big my bottom lip as I continued to stare at me, I use to not control myself around him, but it's suppose to be different now, right?

I jerked as my phone rung and I pulled my hand away. That was way too close for comfort.

"Hello." I said answering the phone.

"Hey, where are you?" it was Amy.

"Hey, I'm at lunch. Am I late?"

"A little, people are starting to come in."

"I'm on my way."

"Okay." I hung up.

I looked over at Dave and saw him giving the money and check to the waitress, "We better go. I have a class and cooking to do."

"Right." He said putting on his sunglass, "Something always to save you, but that's not always going to be the case, kitten."
