Calm Before the Storm
Calm Before the Storm
The cool autumn air hit my face as I stepped outside of the building. I shivered and paused to pull my coat together. It was not playing out here today. I don’t remember it being this breezy this morning when I came out. I was in a bit of a daze however and didn’t know which side was up.
I had been on a health kick lately and called myself going to the gym down the street from my house and working it out. My schedule had changed earlier this month so I was working longer hours. I decided since I had to be up before the sun, I might as well work out a little and make breakfast. They say it is the most important meal of the day, but I think between lunch and dinner were more important. However, I must say, I would damn near be starving by time lunch time did come. I guess it had some merit.
Anyways, I had avocado toast for breakfast and some hot cocoa. It was okay for 7am, but by 11am, my eyes were bulging out of my head. Lucky for me, Dr. Staves let me go for an early lunch break.
“Iris!” someone yelled out my name.
Ugh, I hated when people did that. I did not need everyone on Earth knowing my name. I turned slightly to see the most beautiful sight. It was Stan the man Brown. He was an experienced nurse and had the most amazing everything.
It was definitely fine if he yelled out my name...I had dreams of it. The man wore fitted suits that showed off those thunder thighs and I saw the imprint of that big, long, and juicy---
“Iris, are you okay?!”
I snapped out of my fantasy and was staring into Stan’s soft brown eyes. Oh the man’s eyelashes curled so perfectly. He reminded me of a baby and their long eyelashes.
“Yeah- what’s up?” I said brushing my hair out of my face. I decided to be cute and curl the ends of it, but I was not expecting this wind to kick up and throw it all out of whack. Especially not with Mr. Brown staring me down.
“Hey, I saw your posting on Facebook about wanting to go see New Edition.”
I paused and wondered how he knew that. I was on Facebook, but I didn’t realize he was on there as well. Did I add him and didn’t realize it? How did that get past my eyes...something as fine as him. Hmm…
“You are friends with Karina and she’s my friend on there too so I saw her reply to your posting, in case you wanna know why I’m all in your business.” he said laughing.
“Oh, yeah, nah it’s cool. Yes, I do want to go, but when I try to buy them online, I’m in a queue for 15 years. It’s silly, so I guess no New Edition. Gonna have to listen to Old Edition.” I said and burst into giggles at my own joke. Luckily Stan started to laugh as well. I knew it was corny, but whatever.
“Oh, so what I was going to tell you was that...bam!” Stan whipped what looked like two tickets in my face. I stared at them and snatched them from him. I examined them a little closer and started to jump up and down. Then I looked up at him and tilted my head to the side. There had to be a catch.
“Hmm, so what are you telling me for?”
Stan blinked a few times and moved his mouth but words did not escaped. He chuckled a bit and his weight shifted. When he licked his lips, I swear I felt a moisture form in my special region. I stared at his lips and saw them moving, but was not paying attention to what he was saying. Lawd, the man had some juicy and moist lips!
“So what’s up? You gone leave a brother hanging?”
“Huh? What? I was in a trance.” I admitted.
Stan started smiling and made me almost faint. That man had perfect white teeth and a million dollar smile.
“You gonna make me feel bad huh? So Miss Iris, I was asking you if you wanted to accompany me to this concert?”
I couldn’t believe it. This fine man was asking me of all people out. It’s not like I thought I looked bad, but I wasn’t looking like a model like say my girl Karina. She was definitely the model type and always asked if she was one. I decided to play it cool even though I was jumping up and down inside.
“Well Mr. Brown. I would love to go with you. Wow. You have made my night.”
“Oh and you don’t know how much you’ve made mines. Let’s exchange numbers.”
Oh honey! I was cloud nine as I rode the Metro home that evening. Mr. Brown sent me a text that made it even sweeter. I can’t wait to take you out beautiful lady. Have a good night.
What? That motherfucker thought I was beautiful. I would have never thought that. When I got home, I stripped myself naked and danced listening to New Edition. I must have listened to “Poison” about three times. The concert was three days away, but I had to find the perfect outfit now. What the hell, I didn’t have anything good enough to be worn at a New Edition concert, nor to be seen with Stanley Brown! I would need to go shopping! I made a reminder in my phone to go shopping after work tomorrow. I fell asleep dreaming about that concert.
The next day at work I was so elated that even those unruly kids couldn’t disturb this groove! I was listening to my jams in between meeting with those students. Those motherfuckers were so disturbed, but that’s why I was being paid the somewhat big bucks. I am the senior social worker at a charter school for sixth to twelfth graders and boy it was always something going on. I usually had my assistants dealing with the students initially, but I would take the hardest cases. I usually had to refer some of them to get more help than I could (or would) provide at the school’s capacity.
I still had my headphones on as I was in the teacher lounge heating up my chicken noodle soup from last night. See, your girl can cook a little bit too when I felt like it. I know Stanley’s thick ass would like that. He looks like he is from a country ass family.
Speaking of the devil, Stan tapped me on my shoulder just as I was doing a spin to a song. I started laughing and snatched my headphones out.
“I see someone is happy. That’s what I like about you, too.” he said leaning on the counter.
Oh, the man was wearing that shirt and those dress pants. I found it funny that he dressed so professional to be the nurse. I figured he would be in scrubs or something a little loose fitting. I mean I didn’t mean watching those buttcheeks, but I wondered.
“Yes, I am listening to my boys, New Edition.” I said placing my headphones around my neck. I grabbed my food and walked to the table and sat. Stan did join me while eating a popsicle. Yes, so country.
“So look, I was thinking we could go to dinner before the concert?”
Oh he was laying it on thick. I didn’t think my pussy could contain itself. It wanted to jump off me and into his lap. I couldn’t blame it.
“Oh, that sounds groovy.” I put on my best smile and he gave me his.
“Great. I didn’t want to lay it on too thick, you know. I just wanted to spend some time getting to know you outside of this place.” he said motioning to the room.
“I see. So why me?” I asked. I was curious.
He stared at me for a second and scooted closer to me.
“Well, I see you are about the only other professional here besides present company that ain’t playing with these people! Girl, you have your stuff together. I can respect that. Plus, I saw you liked New Edition so I said she must not be busy Saturday.”
I started to blush a little bit. I was hoping he would mention how I looked a little. I was a little self concious of my look, but I wouldn’t admit that out loud.
“Plus, it ain’t hurt that you look damn good. Especially in those A line skirts you have recently started wearing. Whatever brought that on...keep it up.”
Honey you could have bought me for a shiny penny. I was about to be a puddle on the floor if Karina hadn’t ran up on us. I was gripping the side of the table with one hand and stirring my soup with the other.
“What’s up good people?” She said sitting across from Stan.
Karina is a sciene teacher which meant she was a brainiac. I stayed away from science. She was also very beautiful. When I first started working at the school, I would imagine I was her. She had thick, luscious sandy brown hair that hung below her elbows, had a butterscotch color, and a petite frame. Those little adolescent things called boys were all over that ass. There was no other reason for a 15 year old boy’s interest in Physics so much so that he wanted to join the Physics Club, which Karina led. She just used it to her advantage to teach those little scoundrels something. I had much respect for her. Plus when I first arrived, she was one of the few to be nice enough to greet me and all that cordial shit.
“Nothing. I am due for duty, but I will holla. See you Saturday pretty lady.” he said bowing to me. I was blushing like a damn schoolgirl. When he walked away, I look at Karina and she was grinning like a chessy cat.
“Iris, please tell me that you are letting him wax that ass?!” she asked in a hushed tone.
Karina knew I had been lusting for him for a while and she had always encouraged me to go for it. Her motto was “You live once. You die once. But you can fuck many times.”
“Girl, no. At least not yet!”
Karina and I spent the rest of our lunch break in that damn lounge gossiping like those teenage girls in the lunch room. For the rest of the day, I was on Macy’s looking at jumpsuits. I loved those and Karina had sent me a link to one and I was lost looking at them. As I was packing up to leave for the day, I saw my little sister, Irin had texted me. Call me. Lots to discuss.
Irin was a bit dramatic at times and so I wanted to wait until I was on the way home to talk with her. It would keep my mind off the commute. As I walked outside, I saw it was drizzling a bit. I exhaled annoyingly as I DID not grab my umbrella that morning. I wonder if I had one in my damn desk. As I was turning around, a car was pulling up and I saw it was Stanley.
“Get in. Let me take you home.”
I didn’t think anything about it and just did it. I was too tired to worry about anything else. Stanley was playing Tony Toni Tone and I was just grooving in the passenger seat. He finally sparked up a conversation after asking for directions to my home. We talked about miscellaneous things such as the school, our professions, and then it transitioned to our personal lives. Stanley was curious if I had a boyfriend. Hmm, nice time to ask huh?
“No, I don’t need one now. Distractions.” I then started laughing.
“What’s so funny?”
“I said that when I was in grad school. That was four years ago! It’s funny how things don’t change.”
He just looked at me and smiled.
“What?” I asked. I knew he was thinking something.
“Well, I don’t know what your stance is on relationships now, but I hope we can be good friends. You know, go on dates and hang out kind of friends.”
“Hmm, what about the other part to that?” I asked deciding to be bold. I had thought about sex with him, but I didn’t think it would happen. But who knew now?! I hadn’t been dicked down in ages.
“What’s that?” he asked looking straight ahead. He knew damn well what I meant.
“So, sex. Um, maybe that was too forward!” I said trying to take it back.
“Ha, brave girl. That is something to consider too. No lie, you had me daydreaming about me gripping that ass, no disrespect, many a times.”
Oh, Lawd! I mean come on now. I wanted to straddle that ass right then and there. However, I kept it under control and just smiled. Oh, boy.
“Oh, nothing to say now?”
“Well, a lot. I have thought about you.”
He was quiet, but smiling to himself. I didn’t say anything else and just texted my sister. I felt slightly uncomfortable that he was so quiet. He just sung the music until he pulled up to my house. I turned to him and he was reaching in the back and pulled out an umbrella. He got out and ran around and opened my door and held the umbrella for me. Oh, a gentleman too. Goodness gracious.
“Thanks for the ride.” I said after I unlocked my door.
He stood there and batted those pretty eyes at me. Something in me wanted him to come in so I asked him. He was inside in no time and walking around my joint. I was glad I kept my house clean and semi tidy. Never knew when fine ass men were gonna stop by!
“Nice place. I like this.” he said walking with his hands in his pockets.
“Thanks. Drinking anything?” I asked heading to the kitchen.
“Um, water is good. I am driving.”
As I poured his water, he entered and sat at the breakfast nook. I slid the glass to him and he looked at me as he sipped it.
“So, you have been thinking about me too huh?” he asked with a smirk.
I looked away and blushed. I felt like a little damn kid.
“Maybe so.” I said walking behind him.
He spun out of his seat and wrapped his arms around my waist. I felt like the air was sucked out of me as I smelled his cologne. I was overwhelmed, but could not react. His nose was in my neck and next I knew his lips were on my neck. I felt a sensation in my pussy that I couldn’t describe. I thought I was about to have an orgasm right there in my kitchen.
“Um...Stan…” I moaned as his hands found their way under my skirt.
“That’s right…” he moaned as he spun me to face him. He took my lips over and I just let it all go. He grabbed a handful of my ass and squeezed so hard that I bit my lip. His tongue was all over my neck and he would suck on my neck in between. I swear I was about to pass out.
“I want this. I need this Stanley.” I said out of breath. I couldn’t even grasp anything as he lifted me and placed me on my counter. Now my breasts were eye level with his mouth and boy did he take heed. He got my breasts out so fast that I don’t even think I had done it like that. His tongue vibrated over my nipples and I grasped his ears and playfully pulled them.
“I want to make love to you.” he said.
I had no qualms about that and honey let me say that Stanley wore this ass out so bad I think I might have to call in sick tomorrow. Honey, he had me screaming, crying, cursing, laughing, calling on Jesus, and the devil. I didn’t realize one person could have multiple orgasms, but I realized tonight. I think I had a couple of cramps as well as those muscles hadn’t been worked in a long time, if ever. Afterwards, Stanley left and I was too tired to get up and see him out. I was on my back in a stupor. Oh, man. Who woulda thought this would happen just a few days ago? Not me!
