Mack

After I dropped Denise off, I was perturbed to say the least. I had played out the night and seeing Danny again in my head. None of the scenarios that I’d came up with were anything like what just happened. It was a problem and I knew more than once now that I should have gone solo. It was how I used to go everywhere, but somewhere along the lines that had changed. That change was going to cost me and it was a price that was too high as far as I was concerned.

I went back to my place and even though Denise had wanted to come by, I wasn’t in the mood to deal with her. I didn’t even have the desire to have sex with her, which was one of the only things that I had ever liked about her in the first place. Denise was a trophy and I had mistakenly used it thinking that it was going to make things better. Instead it had made things worse. Denise hadn’t made Danny jealous in the way that I wanted. It had just made her look past me.

The kiss was still on my mind though and it wasn’t something that could be faked. I knew as soon as our lips met that there was still something there, even if she didn’t want to admit it. That kiss is what changed the game for me. I wanted that feeling back that only she could deliver and I knew that I was going to have to work harder for it this time. Danny hadn’t ever been all that easy. She was untouched before I came into her life and I wanted her untouched and only mine again. There was a feeling that came over a man when he knew that he was the first. There was a certain part of me that could never forget her and she was a first for me as well. Danny was the first and dare I say the only woman that I’ve ever loved.

I cursed myself and the rise of my cock with the ideas of her. It had come to attention when I’d first seen her glide across the room and now I was horny as fuck. There was a moment that I thought of calling Denise. I wasn’t used to having to deny myself anything, but now I knew that I was going to have to somehow. No one else was going to do but Danny. Considering that she didn’t want to see me, that may be a problem.

But I wasn’t a stranger to roadblocks and other obstacles. I would make her mine again, one way or another.

Danny was in fact a teacher and it didn’t take long for one of my guys to find out where she worked at and where she lived. We didn’t take all of the normal routes for information and that just meant that we got more back faster. The dark channels were always best; though I didn’t want to think about what Danny would have thought if she knew what I was doing.

She was mad at me, rightfully so, but she was going to have to get over it. It wouldn’t be the first time that I’d caused her grief and she had forgiven me then, so I don’t know why it had to be any different now. It was just like old times when she was in my arms, so all that meant was I had to handle her like I had back in the day. It was back then that I would make sure I had her good and turned on before I gave her bad news. The best time was after I’d laid her out and she was still naked and glistening with sweat. By then, she didn’t care and I would get rid of anything that she needed to know about.

While I couldn’t drag her back to my bed like a caveman, I wish I could. I would have made things so much easier because she was never able to say no to me then. That’s what I wanted to do, though I knew that it wasn’t going to end well if I did. Danny liked to think of herself as an independent woman, even more so now, so I was going to have to get past the barrier of her brain first. That was going to be the hard part.

So I thought of where and how I was going to bump into her. She was going to know that it was to see her. Danny would see right through me, but that was the point. I didn’t want to make it obvious, but at the same time I wanted her to know why I was coming to find her. I wasn’t going to come empty handed either. While Danny had been a simple girl back then, now I knew that every woman wanted sparkly things that smelled good. It was just the way they were wired and I’m sure that she wasn’t any different.

Waiting for the rest of the information I requested to come in, I went through some of the places she frequented and decided on the coffee shop by her house that she used to get her coffee every morning. It was the perfect place to meet and I wouldn’t look like I was doing it on purpose, not too much anyways.

The next morning I went a few miles from my hotel and got a seat next to the register. She would be in soon, twenty minutes precisely after her run in the morning. After a couple of days of surveillance, I knew everything there was to know about my old flame and she seemed more disciplined, but I had to remind myself that she was still the same girl that I’d fell for all that time ago.

I heard her voice and it pulled me from my fog and thoughts. I was thinking about what I was going to say to her and then, there she was. She must have been running a little faster today because she was there a little early. I had to prepare myself for a moment before I turned to her and said hello.

She visibly started from me being there and I smiled as if apologetically.

“Sorry Danny. I heard your voice and I could recognize it a mile away in a crowd.”

She smiled back at me on impulse, but then it faded a little when she was reminded of the other night at the reunion. She hadn’t forgotten that much was for sure, but I wish she would.

“Hey Mack. What in the world are you doing in this part of town?”

“Just getting some coffee. I have an appointment with a client down the road and I saw this place. I didn’t know you would be here.”

She got her coffee and for a minute I was afraid she was just going to take off. Danny was hard to get through to sometimes and I didn’t want this to be one of those times.

“I really got to go Mack. It was nice seeing you again. Maybe we will do it again in another ten years or so.”

Damn, she was still mad and Danny was going to make me work for it.
