 I was cleaning up my document files this morning and found this. I wrote it awhile ago and never got around to posting it. This is the first time I have tried to make a post using lj cut and other features and it is starting to tic me off. Stuff keeps moving around between previewing and making the post. Trying to edit it made it worse and I have deleted it 3 times now. I hope this time it works.

Phone Messages

The phone was ringing as I was unlocking the door.  My hands were too full so I let the machine pick it up.

“Hey Tiff., it’s just me.  I’m going to be a little later than expected.  At least two hours.  I’ll call back if it’s going to be any longer.”  There was a brief pause, and I could hear Eddie giving instructions to somebody near him.  “Love you hun, see you soon.”

With a sigh, I looked over at Sydney our spoiled, grey Persian, who sat contently on the window sill sunning himself.  “I suppose it’s just you and me Syd.”  Reaching into the bag on the counter, I pulled out the new bubble bath I had just purchased.  “Let’s take a bath.”  I headed up the stairs and Syd., ever faithful, stood, stretched and followed.  Making himself comfortable on my freshly shed pile of warm clothes in the corner of the bathroom.

Sitting on the edge of the tub, I added a generous dollop of the vanilla scented bubble bath to the running water.  My mind wandered to the events of the past few weeks.  Events that have lead me to appreciate the small things in life, such as my new bubble bath.

Just before Christmas, Eddie was told that his company would be shutting down and relocating over 3000 miles across the country. There was a promotion in it for him, if he would be willing to make the move. The big catch was he need to go before Christmas. Eddie was happy to still have a job, but it was very hard on him to go into work each day and see all his friends and coworkers who were not made an offer.

We started to pack everything up and make the necessary arrangement, including an impromptu early Christmas with our family and close friends, when devastation struck.  Eddie’s younger bother was killed in a car accident.  Comforting his parents was our first priority.  Making the move when the time came, was most difficult.

It did not help that everything was a mess at the new job location, and Eddie was the one in charge of making it right. Late nights, cold dinners and bad tempers were becoming the norm in our house. When the phone rang once again I just assumed it would be another late night.  That was when shit hit the fan....

“Mrs. Morrison, this is nurse balnichuck form the Rampart Hospital.  Could you give me a call at 555-........ Your husband Eddie has been.....”  I was out the door before the message was complete.

Chest pains. Weeks of doctors appointments and tests. Eddie’s work was good but since it was not a heart attack, they made it clear that he was really needed to help out when he could. We were both feeling the stress of the situation and things were getting even more tense in our relationship.

Today in the doctor’s office we were given some good news.  Just stress. The relief that washed over me brought me to tears. Eddie wrapped his arms around me and we just sat rocking back and forth gently.  It was the doctor shuffling papers that that brought us back out of our thoughts.

“I want to give you a precautionary prescription for aspirin Eddie.” Said the doctor. “Even if it is not your heart, they can help ease any chest pain you feel from stress.”

Just then Eddie’s pager went off. It was his work again, wanting him at the office a.s.a.p. “I don’t suppose you have a prescription for this situation doc?” Eddie asked with a laugh in his voice. Something that I had not heard in weeks.

When we left the doctor’s office, Eddie headed off to work and I went to the drug store to pick up the bottle of aspirins that the doc recommended as a precaution. I was feeling so good thinking about our good news, I thought that I would make a couple of special purchases.

As my mind wandered back to the bath I was running, I noticed that the water level was just right to get in. Wishing Eddie was here to enjoy it with me, I slipped into the hot soapy water. I knew things were only going to get better now and thought of how I could help relieve some of  his stress.  There was one good way, but he had not been in the mood lately. That would have to change. We had a really great sex life before this all happened and we will again.

Thinking about Eddie’s touch, I ran my hands over my ample wet breasts. Instantly my nipples became hard. I could feel his marvelous mouth running hot kisses down behind my ear and along my collar bone. His erection pressed against my side.  My one hand stayed on my breast while the other stroked up and down the side of my thigh, slowly making it’s way towards the dark curls at my center.

“Oh Eddie” I whispered.

As my fingers slipped into my center, a low  moan escaped from my lips. My head rolled to the side and I noticed that syd. was looking at something. Then there was a shuffling sound behind me. Water splashed over the side of the tub, as I lunged up and spun around.

“Eddie!” I squealed, and relaxed a bit. “How long have you been there?” I asked, not really needing an answer after looking at him. He was naked and fully aroused, standing there in front of me with a scrub brush and a bar of soap.

“May I help?”

Hours later, water covering the bathroom floor, and tangled in the sheets of our king size bed we finally lay sedated in each others arms.

“What made you come home early?”

“I wanted to surprise you.  I never expected to be more surprised myself.” After a pause he then asked “Did you get the aspirins today?”

I jumped up worried. “Why? Are you okay? Chest pain? Oh, my maybe we shouldn’t have done this today.....”

“Shhh hun.” He placed a finger on my lips then removed it to give me a kiss. “I’m fine but I may have pulled a muscle in the tub earlier.”

I sighed with relief, then pulled him back down on the bed. He was ready to go again. I climbed on top and slowly lowered myself down onto his throbbing shaft.  “Don’t worry love I’ll do the work this time.” Then I winked at him. Our climaxes came hard and fast that time. Then a little gentler and slower the next time.

Things were going to be just fine.
