Darkest Before The Dawn *reserved for RP519*

JESSICA AND NICK

"Mmmmm, this is delicious!" Jessica declared, as she cut some of her Fajita and fed it to Nick. "I love this place, it has just the right balance between informal and intimate!"

She listened to what Nick was saying, about eyeing her up on occassion, and she blushed a little, but smiled too. "Well, you manged to be discret, Nick, I certainly never noticed!!! But thank you for saying so!! Every girl loves to be complimented!!"

She sipped steadily at her drink, and decided that this place, at this moment in time had it all - tasty beverages, served ice cold, delectible food, so tasty and flavoursome, and exquisite company !! She said as much to Nick, as she cleared her plate.

They spent their time chatting about nothing in particular, avoiding, almost by tacit agreement, the delicate subject of Tammy. They exchanged anecdotes, opinions on music, clothes, travel, dreams for the future, and found that they were in accord on most things.

For Jessica, the feeling that she had met Mr. Right, just got stronger and stronger. By the time they left the restaurant, she was half ways in love with him.

TAMMY AND ZAK

He sure had a talented tongue!! He lapped at her, and worked his tongue into her, and over her clit, making good on his promise to make her cum repeatedly.

Her body arched and writhed under his skilled tongue so many times, that her muscles began to ache, from the extreme contractions she was experiencing!! She finally pushed back in the bed. "No more! Zak!! I need you to fill me! Fuck me now!!" she said as she pulled him up off the floor, and on top of her.

"Well, you manged to be discret, Nick, I certainly never noticed!!! But thank you for saying so!! Every girl loves to be complimented!!"


Nick smiled to Jessica across the table, enjoying the shared company and food. He'd only been in a few times in the past, but now, with the happy memories they were building, he was sure he'd be back more often.

"Then I'll just need to compliment you as much as I can Jessica. Such as how good you looked back at your apartment, even before you got dressed up; Just you being the natural you with your hair up in a towel." Here he leaned forward, lowering his voice to say, just for her ears, "How you looked in...and nearly out of...your robe." Nick grinned wide, like the cat that ate the canary, and stole yet another brief kiss.

Nick sat back in his chair, and the two settled into pleasent conversation about...well, about everything. He admitted to liking country music, as well as the older stuff from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. He shared his rather unusual dream of wanting to dance at as many landmarks around the world as he could, ever since he saw Duncan and Amanda dance on top of the Eiffel tower on Highlander.

When the food was done, they went back out into the night, holding to each other. Nick's hand was on Jessica's back, moving up and down from her shoulder blades to the small of her back.

"So...where to now, Jess? Are we calling it a night, or do we see what other fun this city has after dark?"

- - - Zak and Tammy - - -​

Tammy pulled Zak down on top of her, and he was all too happy to oblige. He thrust into her sexual core hard, since it was clear this wasn't the time nor the place for sweet, soft 'love making'. No, Tammy wanted a 'screwing', and he was going to give her just that.

Zak pistoned his rod in and out Tammy's tight, wet hole with animal grunts. He groped at her breasts, squeezing them, toying with her nipples. He pulled them, twisted them. Then the moment was building up, getting close, and he withdrew from her. Taking his own cock in hand, Zak stroked himself the last bit until he came in a wark spurt onto Tammy's stomach, a few drops making it so far as to valley of cleavage between her twin peaks.

When he had finished, Zak smiled to Tammy and set to caressing his clit with his thumb while two finger shaped explorer searched for moist treasures within her.

JESSICA AND NICK

"How you looked in...and nearly out of...your robe."

His words brought a blush to her cheeks, but she was also flattered by the compliment. He was so easy to spend time with , and she was surprised by how comfortable she was with him, given their circumstances.

"So...where to now, Jess? Are we calling it a night, or do we see what other fun this city has after dark?"

"Well, I'm open to persuasion! I do enjoy dancing, but don't want to go anywhere too fancy! Do you have any suggestions, or if you prefer, we can call it a night, and head back to my place for a drink, or a coffee!" she blushed as she realised that her offer sounded like a euphemism for something else.

TAMMY AND ZAK

Tammy wrapped her legs around Zak encouraging him to take her hard and fast, which was very much what she needed at the moment. He drove into her, seating himself to the hilt in one smooth motion, causing her to cry out, in a mixture of pain and pleasure at the sudden intrusion. She arched her back under him, pulling her legs further up, and kissing him, as he began to ride her, the full weight of his body behind each surging motion.

She screamed as she felt her body preparing to uncoil, to implode, and as his body rubbed her clit as he took her, she came loudly.

[EXTR: City Sidewalk, Night]​

"Well, I'm open to persuasion! I do enjoy dancing, but don't want to go anywhere too fancy! Do you have any suggestions, or if you prefer, we can call it a night, and head back to my place for a drink, or a coffee!"

Nick could see the blush forming on Jessica's cheeks even in the darkness of the night. Clearly she was embarassed by the possible implications of the offer, implications which were not lost on him. Nick just smiled...something he seemed to be doing more tonight with Jessica than he had in he wasn't sure how long...and wrapped her in a close embrace. His arms were around her waist, her chest pressing to his, and he kissed her in the center of her forehead.

"I think I'd like going back to your place, and just spending some time with you Jess. Just you and me, and a couple of drinks. No coffee for me tonight though, this just isn't the right time for it. But, maybe some other time, you and I can have a cup, hmm?"

- - - Zak and Tammy - - -

[INTR: Zak's Bedroom]​

Under his rubbing, Tammy came to a loud orgasm that lifted her back off of the bed. He kept right on pressing his fingers to her clit as her juices flowed freely from between her thigh, wetting his hand. When he was sure the moment had passed, Zak dipped his finger deep inside her honey pot, coating them in her sweet nectar. He sucked on one finger, smiling around the digit, then offered his hand to Tammy.

"Have a little taste, baby; It's very sweet, if you've never tried yourself before. Deffinately something I could get comfortable eatting on a regular bais."

Jessica and Nick

"I think I'd like going back to your place, and just spending some time with you Jess. Just you and me, and a couple of drinks. No coffee for me tonight though, this just isn't the right time for it. But, maybe some other time, you and I can have a cup, hmm?"

If anyone else had said that to her, she might had been put out at the rejection, or something she hadn't exactly offered, and yet, in Nick's case, she appreciated it. It was his consideration for her. It was the kind of man he was, not making hasty decisions, and allowing them both to have the time they needed to adjust to their new relationship - no longer just a friendship, but as yet, nothing more, just a promise of what was to come.

They strolled back to Jessica's place, conversing easily, and when they went in, she asked him what he would like to drink.

Tammy and Zak

Tammy had cum so hard!! Her body was still quivering from the force of it, and she smiled at Zak. His reputation as lover extrodinaire was not undeserved!!

She quivered again, as she watched him taste her juices.

"Have a little taste, baby; It's very sweet, if you've never tried yourself before. Definately something I could get comfortable eating on a regular basis."

She sat up, and sucked on his finger, deliberately making it a facsimile of her earlier blow job. She nipped the end of his finger playfully, and climbed out of bed, taking Zak by the hand.

"Dare I ask if you have any food in this bachelor pad, Zak, or do you live on take out???" She led him on an exploration of his apartment, and hopped up onto the counter in the kitchen.

"You've worn me out lover, you need to feed me now!! Replenish me!!"

 

[RP519]

- - - Nick and Jessica - - -​

Back at Jessica's apartment once more, Nick Followed her into the kitchen and brought a pair of wine glasses down from her cabinet. "I think we need to progess from beer and margaritas, and up to wine."

Nick had enjoyed the walk back from the restuarant with her, lost in easy conversation. He had been trying to put off the subject of quote-unquote coffee without upsetting Jessica; If she had been serious in offering, he wanted to be careful in saying no, because he didn't want to rush into anything. Nick was sure there would be time.

Carrying the glasses over to Jessica, he couldn't stop the urge to hold her around the waist from behind, nuzzling at the back of her neck. Then, on an impusle, he fished Jessica's phone out of her purse and took a quick picture of the two of them. Nick attached it to a message back to John, replying to his text about Tammy and Zak leaving together, saying "Tammy's loss, my gain then." He showed it to Jessica, and raised an eyebrow. "Think we should send it?"

- - - Zak and Tammy - - -​

Tammy sucked on Zak's fingers hungrily, cleaning every bit of her wetness away, and making a point to be suggestive in doing so. Shortly there after, she was dragging him out of bed and through the house, both of them naked, until they arrived at the kitchen.

"Dare I ask if you have any food in this bachelor pad, Zak, or do you live on take out??? You've worn me out lover, you need to feed me now!! Replenish me!!"

Unfortunately, she wasn't too far off. While Zak didn't have take out for every meal, what food he did have was mostly prepackaged bachelor type food. He set to searching his fridge in an effort to produce something semi-decent to feed Tammy. What he came up with was a few eggs, some peppers and onions, and surprising even to him, a package of bacon. These he showed to Tammy and prepared two pans on the stove.

"Looks like breakfast in the middle of the night for us. Just give me a second, babe, I'm not frying no bacon naked; No cooked sausage today."

Zak went back to his room, retreiving boxers for himself, and Tammy's thong on the chance she might want it back. Dressed, barely, he got started on the bacon and an omelette for the two of them.

 

[sallythescorpian]

Nick and Jessica

Jessica smiled when Nick pulled out one of her bottles of wine. A nice Cabernet Savigon, and she watched as he corked the bottle, and decanted two glasses, passing one to her. She led the way into her sitting room, and she set her glass down, and went to put on some music, selecting a compilation CD of Rock ballads, which would provide background easy listening music.

She sat on the couch, and patted it next to her, to encourage him to sit next to her. She was still grinning about the photo he had taken which her camera. She still could not make up her mind about sending it. They had decided to sent it to the guys still in the bar, and now she was wondering if that would look like they were rubbing Tammy's nose in it, but it was done now, and it had seemed like a good idea at the time.

"Tell me all about you Nick! I know a lot already, but tell me about your childhood, what movies you like, where you'd like to travel.!" She hitched her legs under her, and turned to face him. She had a bowl of mixed salted nuts, which she set between them, and she threw a cashew into the air,and caught it with her mouth.

Tammy and Zak

Tammy wasn't especially surprised at the lack of good foor in Zak's place, but she was impressed by the omlette and bacon he served up. She was still smirking at his rush to put on his boxers, for fear his prized possession would get singed!! She hadn't bothered putting on anything, and she had nipped his ass while he cooked, laughing at his reaction.

She had sourced a couple of knives and forks, and had made coffee, beer not seeming to be an appropriate accompaniment to breakfast!!

As she ate, she looked at Zak, a man who had surprised her tonight, and she said "tell me a bit about you Zak, I really dont know much about you!"

 

[RP519]

- - - Nick and Jessica - - -​

"Tell me all about you Nick! I know a lot already, but tell me about your childhood, what movies you like, where you'd like to travel.!"

Nick settled onto the couch beside Jessica, laying his hand on her closest knee. He clapped lightly when she caught the cashew in her mouth, and tried to do the same...failing, the nut bouncing off his face and onto the floor. Frowning, he sipped his wine, and gently nudged the cashew away.

"Well, my childhood was pretty good, except that we moved a lot so I was always the new kid. That wasn't easy, you know how shy I can be, and I was even worse when I was young...I got better once we settled down, when I was in high school. I like pretty much any movie; Horror, comedy, so-called chick flicks. But you'll never catch me at a Tyler Perry movie, I've never seen a preview of one that interested me in the least. As for travel...I want to go everywhere. Provided, of course, I have someone to go with me." Nick smiled wider to Jessica, and gave her knee a soft squeeze. "How about you? What kind of movies should I take you to, and where could we travel to?"

- - - Zak and Tammy - - -​

"Tell me a bit about you Zak, I really dont know much about you!"

Zak leaned back on the counter as he ate his breakfast, and shrugged. "Not too much to tell. I struggled my way through college, majoring in literature, which is doing we a whole lot of nothing taking calls in the complaints department. But, it's decent enough pay; Keeps a roof overhead and some beer on the table."

He took a sip of his coffee, eyeing the still naked Tammy up and down as he did. With a smirk, he set his plate down, only half eatten, and pulled her close, hands on her firm ass, and kissed her deeply. "And when I'm not working, I'm hanging around the pub, or doing some reading. Which for some reason tends to surprise some people."

Zak went back to eatting with one hand, while the other continued to roam over Tammy's butt, hips, back and side.

 

[sallythescorpian]

Jessica and Nick

Jessica enjoyed the feel of his hand on her knee, it felt right somehow. She listened to his answers to her questions, eager to learn more about him.

She wanted to share her own dreams with him too.

"How about you? What kind of movies should I take you to, and where could we travel to?"

She laughed softly. Where dont I want to travel to, that has a much shorter answer!!! Like you I want to travel everywhere. I have a dream of travelling the world for a year or so! Walking along the Champs Elysee, visiting the palance of Versaille, get my portrait sketched by an artist in Mommatre. I want to visit Westminister, see Big Ben, walk on the Las Ramblas, in Barcelona, walk the Great Wall of China, see Easter Island, see Shanghai, see the Brandenburg gate, visit Auschwitz, climb Machu Pichu, visit Alice Springs, sail on the Nile, see the sphinx, visit the pyramids, work on an Israli Kibbutz, see Red Square...................." she trailed off. "Sorry, I'm ranting, its just something I am so passionate about!!!

She blushed, "as for movies, I dont like horror, at all!! I had nightmares for weeks, after watching 'The Ring'!! I have a strage taste in films really, anything good, I like. My favourite movies are 'The Shawshank Redemption', 'Gone with the Wind', The original Star Wars trilogy, 'The usual Suspects', 'The Sixth Sense', 'The Hurt Locker', 'Black Hawk Down', 'Conan, the Barbarian, and Conan the Destroyer', the terminator movies, all the Star Treks, 'Angel Heart' to name but a few, and as you can see, I'm not really loyal to any genre!!!!"

She smiled at him, "I'd love to have a garden and grow stuff, but to be honest, I kill off every plant I have within days!" Then, jumping topic again, she turned partly toward him, "you know, I love being with you! You make me so comfortable, so much at ease, and I feel that I could tell you anything, and you wouldn't laugh at me or judge me, you'd just accept me as I am! That is so refreshing!!

The hours passed, and they finished thier bottle of wine, and opened a second. They drank coffee, they ate sandwiches and potato chips, they traded anecdotes. It was dawn before either of them realised it.


Tammy and Zak

Zak was surprising sweet. There was a depth to him that was totally unexpected, and Tammy found she enjoyed his company, and not just for the awesome sex.

She too, was surprised when he said he read. She had always visualised him as a total air head, who picked up girls, fucked them raw, and then went happily on his way. Someone with no depth of character whatsoever. She had been wrong, and she wondered what snapshot opinions of her, people held.

She was not comfortable though, getting to know him, she was here for sex, and to move on, so as his hands roamed her, she straddled him, rubbing her dampness against him, through his boxers.

"Zak, mmmmm take me now! I want you sooooo bad!!"

 

[RP519]

- - - Nick and Jessica - - -​

To Nick, the dawn seemed to be upon them in a matter of minutes. He was so comfortable with Jessica, relaxed enough to just be himself; Just as she had said to him, he could say anything without a moments fear of being judged for it. When he was finally aware of the time, Nick smiled softly across the way.

"I should probably be going Jess. I have to struggle through a day of work in...geez, just a few hours. If I fall asleep on the job and get fired, I'm holding you entirely responsible." He leaned across and kissed her lips, long and softly. "If you have things of your own to do, I'm sorry I kept you up so late. When we're both done, maybe we could get together again tonight?"

Without hardly taking his eyes off of her for a second, Nick gathered up their assorted dishes and carried them into the kitchen. He used the excuse of washing them for her to stay with Jessica just that much longer, reluctant to leave after such a wonderful evening. It was a drastic shift from the long, painful night before last, right after Tammy had rejected him.

- - - Zak and Tammy - - -​

"Zak, mmmmm take me now! I want you sooooo bad!!"

Zak just nodded in reply to Tammy's urgent need, lifting her from his lap onto the edge of the table. To begin, he leaned his head down between her legs, once more lapping at her wetness, while he worked to bring down his shorts. That done, Zak thrust his stiffness hard into the eager young woman.

As his quick, slightly rough pace continued, Zak's hands were still roaming all over Tammy, with particular attention focused on her breasts. Zak liked all aspects of women's bodies, unlike those men who would classify themselves as a 'boob guy' or an 'ass guy' or the like, overlooking a perfectly sexy woman just because that one area didn't measure up. That being said, a good pair of breasts was high on his list, and Tammy fit the bill nicely. Her nipples were stiff yet again, if they'd ever ceased to be at all, and Zak toyed with them between thumb and forefinger.

"Any particular way you're in the mood to be taken, Tammy baby? I live to serve."

 

[sallythescorpian]

Jessica & Nick

She smiled at him as he gathered the dishes and rinsed them through. She too had lost all track of time.

"Nick, I had such a good time just hanging out with you, chatting and whatnot, I lost all track of time!! I hope you dont get into trouble tomorrow, and I'd love to meet up tomorrow night, if you're not comatose by then!!!!" she grinned. "I know I'm going to be very productive tomorrow, or should I say today!! But I'll manage, and it was worth it!!"

She walked over to him, kissed him, and walked him to the door, even though she was fairly certain Nick could have found his own way.

"Drive safely Nick, and I'll see you tonight!! I had a great time!" she called, and stood in the doorway, until his car was gone from sight.

Tammy and Zak

Tammy lay back on the table, wrapping her thighs around Zak's waist. "Oh yeah! That is good!!" she moaned, as she writhed on the table, her hands playing with her tits as he fucked her. Occasional cries of "harder" or "faster" was about all she could manage.

She framed her breasts with her hands, as Zak rolled her nipples, and plucked them, pulling them away from her body.

"Any particular way you're in the mood to be taken, Tammy baby? I live to serve."

"Mmmmm this is pretty fucking good Zak!! Buy maybe in a moment, you can turn me over, and fuck me from behind!!!! You feel sooooo incredibly big that way!!!" It was also more impersonal, and Tammy was beginning to have doubts about the wisdom of what she was doing.

She turned over, and her tits were squashed against the relatively cold surface of the table, and she thrust her ass out at him, and cried out as he entered her, telling him to fuck her as hard as he could.

 

[RP519]

- - - Nick and Jessica - - -​

Nick was reluctant to leave after the incredible night he had just shared with Jessica, but he did need to. He was looking in the rearview mirror the whole way home, even blocks away when there was no chance at all of seeing her.

Back at home, Nick showered and changed into new clothes. He really wasn't all that hungry, having been munching at one thing or another all through the night, but another mug or two of coffee wouldn't hurt. While it was brewing, he made himself toast to pass the time waiting. As he was eatting that, his eyes fell on the phone. He picked it up, and just looked at it a long moment, trying to decide. He dialed the first six digits of Tammy's number, his thumb hovering over the seventh...and then he hung up. No, Tammy would know about him and Jessica eventually, and if he called so soon it would come off as bragging, or rubbing her nose in it, and that wasn't what he wanted. Nick and Tammy had had some good times, and despite her going off with Zak, he wanted to keep the split as friendly as he could.

When the coffee finished, Nick drank a quick cup of it and poured the rest into a travel mug. He probably would be a little tired while he worked, but that was a small price to pay for the previous evening.

- - - Zak and Tammy - - -​

Tammy had flipped herself over, bending over onto the table with her ass in the air, begging for Zak to be rough with her. Only too happy to oblige, he gave her up-turned rear end a firm swat and gripped her waist tight. With each thrust forward, Zak yanked her small body back, driving deep into her soaked pussy.

In this possition, Tammy's breasts were pressed flat to the table, her whole body lying out across its surface closely. Zak pulled at her hair, arching her body up into a curve, until he could get his hands onto her tits again, groping and squeezing them both.

"Mmm...like this, Tammy? Is this the way you like it?"

 

[sallythescorpian]

Jessica and Nick

Jessica watched as Nick drove away, and when he finally dissappeared from her line of vision, she turned and went back into the house. She was so happy, she was sure he was her Mr. Right!! She glanced at the clock, it she was careful, she could grab an hour or so's sleep.

She climbed into bed, checking her alarm, and changing it so she could sleep as long as possible, and like a light, she was out!!

She awoke with a big smile on her face, when the alarm sounded some ninety minutes later, and she jumped from the bed, and showered quickly, pulling on her clothes, and rushing to work, already looking forward to meeting Nick again that night.

Tammy and Zak

Zak rode her wild and rough, soft and tender, and by the early hours, she certainly felt she had put a line in the sand, marking out her new beginning. They had not just fucked, they had done it every way either of them could think of- missionary, doggy style, on the table, bent over the table, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, spooning and scissors! The man was a machine, and uncomfortably, he was also a surprisingly nice guy, a wild guy, but one who she felt had been misjudged and unfairly labelled in this small town.

As dawn broke the horizon, she gathered her things, and snuck quietly out, and began the journey home. She still felt bad about things with her and Nick, but she had proved to herself, to everyone that she could, and had move on, and really, the sooner the better, right?

She was stopped at a junction, when she glanced to her left, and could not believe her eyes. There was Nick, HER NICK, bidding a tender good bye to her erstwhile best friend Jessica, who appeared to be standing in the doorway in nothing but a robe!!! The bastard!!! There she was worried that she had broken his heart, and he had moved slowly and swiftly on to none other than her friend. Some friend!!!

The traffic was light at 5.38 am, and she sat at the traffic lights, unmoving for three changes, as she watched the lovelorn look on Jessy's face as she waved at Nick, and he at her, as he went home. Suddenly it hit her, she had made a mistake, a dreadful, horrible, and possibly irreversible mistake.

 

[RP519]

Nick couldn't keep his mind off of Jessica for more than a few minutes at a time the whole day, resulting in a slight slip in his performance and more than a few co-workers commenting how far away he seemed. Also tugging at his mind was Tammy, and the last lingering feeling of guilt over his new relationship with their friend. But no sooner would such thoughts come over him than he would get a mental image of Tammy and Zak locked in one sexual position or another, and his conscience would be clear for a while longer.

In the end, the guilt won out however. After he got off of work, Nick drove over to Tammy's house to speak to her directly; There were things to be said, and a phone call was just too impersonal for any of it. He did call Jessica though, explaining briefly and a bit nervously that he would be a little later in meeting with her than he'd planned, and told her why. It wasn't a conversation he was looking forward to by a long shot, but it was one he needed to have.

At Tammy's house, Nick was glad to see her's was the only car he recognized along the block. If he had seen Zak's, he'd already decided he would just continue driving and call to set up a private time and place to see her instead. Climbing out and making his way to the door, trying to prepare himself for what was about to happen, Nick had to wonder if it might not have been better if Zak had been there, giving him an excuse to put this off a little longer. But no, he reminded himself again, this has to be done, and it has to be done now.

Nick rang her bell, looking side to side for he knew not what...maybe a distraction to occupy his mind, maybe a reason to just turn and go; Hell, maybe even some magical answer for what he should tell Tammy. Whatever it was, he didn't find it, and had to just face forward towards the door, and the inevitable.

 

[sallythescorpian]

Tammy heard the bell, and made her way to the door. Glancing though the peep hole, she felt her heart leap! Nick! He was here to beg her forgiveness, to ask her for another chance!! She would make his work for it, at least a little, noone appreciated anything that came too easily!

"Nick" she said cooly, "to what do I own this honour?"

She considered for a moment, keeping him on the door step, but her better judgement kicked in, and she stepped back, and signalled with her hand for him to come in.

It seemed so strange. This was Nick, Nick who only a couple of days ago had asked her to marry him, to spend the rest of her life with him, and now, he was suddenly Nick the stranger, who had to knock at the door, and wait to be asked in, it all felt so.......sooo wrong!

"Well Nick, how have you been?" she asked with a smile, thinking that might give him the opening he needed. She was amazed at how stilted everything seemed to be, how awkard and uncomfortable, and it saddened her, as she and Nick had always been so free and easy with one another, and now they were almost like strangers.

 

[RP519]

"Nick; To what do I own this honour?"

Tammy's chilly tone, combined with her hesitation to let him inside, lead Nick to think she was mad with him over how things had ended between them. Or, was it possible, she may already be aware of things starting up with Jessica? Then she was stepping aside, and Nick came into her house. He went into the living room and sat, waiting for Tammy to join him.

"Well Nick, how have you been?"

"Well...that first night, I was...I wasn't very good at all." Nick didn't want that to sound like an accusation, he knew Tammy's reasons for the split and understood them, but it came out sounding that way just the same. His voice was coming low, unsure...very different from the easy tone he'd always had with her during their time together. "But last night, something happened which, while it's good for me, it isn't easy to tell you about. Tammy..." He paused, and locked his eyes onto hers. "I went out with Jessica, then stayed up talking with her all night. I didn't intend it, but I think there might be something between us. I think I'll be seeing a lot more of her after this. And, actually...I'm seeing her again tonight."

 

[sallythescorpian]

Tammy, with Nick at her place

"I went out with Jessica, then stayed up talking with her all night. I didn't intend it, but I think there might be something between us. I think I'll be seeing a lot more of her after this. And, actually...I'm seeing her again tonight."

Tammy sat stepped back and sat on the couch, mostly because her legs wouldn't hold her up. She had known already, having seen him leave Jessica's place, but hearing it from his own lips was an entirely different thing. In addition, she noted that it was the "Oh can you forgive me Tammy, coz I'll never be able to forgive myself.." that she had been expecting, in fact, it was quite the reverse.

Desperate to save face, she managed a smile, although it probably seemed pretty forced. "I'm glad you've found someone, Nick. I've moved on, and its such a relief that you have too" she almost choked on the words, and the irony that he had asked her to be his wife only days ago, and already had found someone else, was beyond her. Similarly, it was ironic that she didn't want to keep Nick when she had him, and only now that she had lost him, did she truely appreciate him. "I'm so glad youre happy Nick!" she managed, and then added "I hope we can stay friends!" thinking that that at least gave her an opening to remain in contact with him, in the hopes that he might change his mind.

 

[RP519]

"I'm glad you've found someone, Nick. I've moved on, and its such a relief that you have too. I'm so glad youre happy Nick! I hope we can stay friends!"

Nick wasn't too happy to hear Tammy word it quite like that. For one thing, the idea that she would call a hook up with Zak 'moving on'. Also, the way she had said 'I'm so glad you're happy' sounded like an accusation...that just under the surface she was really saying 'I'm glad it makes you happy to do something like this to me'. Lastly, 'I hope we can stay friends' was the all time biggest relationship kiss of death. Nick's smile faltered and he began to regret coming to talk to Tammy. Still, it had to be better than letting her find out some other way. Like, for example, in a text message from somebody they knew.

"Of course we'll still be friends Tammy. Really, I didn't do this out of spite, trying to meet someone as quick as I could...it just happened. And I wasn't coming here to rub the relationship in your face, I just didn't want to think, down the line, that we were hiding it. Now..." Nick reached out to take Tammy's hand loosely. "I'm glad you could move on. I truly hope you meet somebody soon too, who makes you happy. Someone who can give you the casual, less serious relationship that I wasn't able to."

Nick knew how cold his words would be, and much as he hated himself for it, he meant them that way. Yes, he was upset by the break up, but at least that he had understood. Tammy going home with Zak was so unlike her, it could only be a hurtful move on her part. With just a hint of wicked satisfaction, Nick waited for Tammy's reply, wondering if she'd own up to how her night had been spent, or if she was going to keep it from him, thinking he still didn't know.

"Of course we'll still be friends Tammy"

Like Hell, she thought, grinding her teeth. The back stabbing bastard!! How could he just stand there and utter such a platitude!!?! He continued on, " Really, I didn't do this out of spite, trying to meet someone as quick as I could...it just happened. And I wasn't coming here to rub the relationship in your face, I just didn't want to think, down the line, that we were hiding it." It sure felt to her, as though he was rubbing his new found happiness right in her face. All he was missing was the accompanying 'na.....na.....na na ....na'!!!

To think she had thought he meant to grovel back, seeking another chance to make it right, to make it work!! "I'm so pleased your happy Nick! What serendipity to get things off the ground with Jessica, and so soon too! Why waste time mooning over me, when you can simply move on. Its such a relief to me, I couldn't have bourne seeing you miserable!"

"I'm glad you could move on. I truly hope you meet somebody soon too, who makes you happy. Someone who can give you the casual, less serious relationship that I wasn't able to."

Well, he had dropped all pretense at being nice, and the cold, cynical way he thought of her shone through that statement loud and clear!!

"Well, unlike you, Nick, I have no intention of rushing into anything. I simply meant that, in my head, we are over, and mentally, I have put us in the past, and I'm looking to the future" She had momentarily forgotten about how obvious she was in the bar last night, culminating in her dramatic departure draped all over Zak! If she had been waving a box of condoms from the ladies room vending machine, she could not have been much more obvious in her intentions! But just now, that was forgotten. "I must say, though, I had noticed how you eyed up Jessica whenever we met up with her, and it just proves I was right. All the reasons we should not marry, must be obvious to even you now!"

This was degenerating quickly, into a slagging match, and she forced a smile onto her face. "Would you like a coffee, Nick, or are you rushing off somewhere?" it came out like a loaded question, and she would bet her bottom dollar that he was rushing off to meet that little backstabbing bitch of an ex best friend!!

"Well, unlike you, Nick, I have no intention of rushing into anything. I simply meant that, in my head, we are over, and mentally, I have put us in the past, and I'm looking to the future. I must say, though, I had noticed how you eyed up Jessica whenever we met up with her, and it just proves I was right. All the reasons we should not marry, must be obvious to even you now!" There was a pause, and a shift in Tammy's tone, but only barely. "Would you like a coffee, Nick, or are you rushing off somewhere?"

Nick shook his head as he stood up...sighed...and locked eyes with his ex-girlfriend across the coffee table. "You're right...I did eye Jessica up a few times, and I did think she was attractive while we were together. I can admit that. I'm sorry I couldn't be as discrete as you I guess; I never once noticed you looking Zak over."

It was his turn now to pause, letting Tammy hear the words he left unspoken; Yes, I know. Once he was sure the implication had landed, Nick went to the door. His hand on the knob, he stopped and looked back at her over his shoulder.

"I really am sorry about what happened last night, and I wish I could undo all of it. But not my night; I'm sorry last night happened to you. Sorry you'll be stuck knowing I was moving forward, starting something good...while you got to be one more notch in the bedpost." By now, after the way she had cut into him with her words, Nick genuinely wanted to hurt back. It made him sick, but he wasn't going to resist the impulse. "Tell Zak hello from me...if he bothers to call you, of course."

And with the hanging over them, Nick opened the door and calmly left Tammy.

"I'm sorry I couldn't be as discrete as you I guess; I never once noticed you looking Zak over."

Oooh, the gloves were off now! Tammy felt herself recoil a little , partly in shock that he knew, but also at the vitriol that dripped from his voice. Nick was as mad as she had ever seen him. "I... look, it was over! I dont owe you explainations or excuses or ........" she trailed off.

"I really am sorry about what happened last night, and I wish I could undo all of it. But not my night; I'm sorry last night happened to you. Sorry you'll be stuck knowing I was moving forward, starting something good...while you got to be one more notch in the bedpost."

Ouch! That was an unexpectedly nasty comment. Hurt, cut by his statement, and needing to lash out too, she said "Oh yeah, and you and Jessica were.... what.... talking all night was it!?? Ha! I'll just bet you were! In between fucking each others brains out!!"

. "Tell Zak hello from me...if he bothers to call you, of course."

Tammy was furious now, and as Nick went through the door she called out "Oh he'll call me alright! We fucked like bunnies all night long, in every position you can imagine, and then some, and it was great!! He's the best lover I ever had!!" She was in the door calling out the last, and after she slammed the door with an almighty thud, she cringed as she imagined her neighbours enjoying that little show!

She hadn't planned on seeing Zak again, but after Nick's little comment, she was determined to hook up again, and rub his nose in it. She pulled out her cell phone, and scrolled through her numbers. She knew she had had his number at one point for a charity event he had supported.

Finding it, she opened a text message box, and then wondered what to sa. Zak was in hot demand from numerous women, and she didn't want to fall into the trap of seeming over eager. Guys preferred to be the hunter, not the hunted. Finally, she settled on <<I had a great time last night, Zak! Thanks! xx Tammy>> At least now he had her number, and she didn't think she was being overly eager.

She was still livid over Nick. Logically she knew he had done nothing different to what she had done, but she was mad that he could go from wanting to marry her to being with someone else in such a short time! Needing to burn off her aggression, she put on her running gear, and took off for a six mlle run, pounding the streets and venting her emotions in a positive way. Normally, she ran only four miles, but tonight she felt like she could have gone on and on. She smiled to herself. She was in very good shape, but the additional exercise wouldn't hurt. Let Nick see her in killer shape with Zak at her side. That's show him what he was missing!

- - - NIck - - -​

Nick drove away to the sound of Tammy yelling at him from her doorway. She was screaming how much better off she was with Zak, how good the sex had been, and how sure she was that she'd be hearing from him again. He didn't like seeing her this way, but there wasn't anything Nick could do to change things now. Maybe in a few days...better yet, a few weeks...they could try talking again, try to get ba ck onto civil terms. But Nick wasn't sure that would be happening, not realistically.

He swung by his house to take a quick shower, washing away his work day and the brief encounter with Tammy. The hot water pouring down over him helped, and by the time he was pulling on a fresh black polo shirt and beige slacks, he was feeling a little better. Then he remembered where he was going, and that helped perk him mood up even further.

On the way over to Jessica's apartment, Nick stopped off and bought her a single rose, lucky to catch the florist just as he was about to close up. Then, he drove on the rest of the way and was at her place again. He rang her bell and waited with a wide, goofy smile on his face. Until that moment, Nick hasn't really realized how much he was looking forward to seeing Jessica.

- - - Zak - - -​

Zak was sitting around his house in nothing but a pair of jeans, watching Steven Seagal kicking people on the tv, and having one of those fast food dinners Tammy had accused him of. He grinned as that brought back a load of memories from the night before. Hooking up with Tammy had been a good surprise in and of itself; Finding out she was an insatiable hellcat in the sack just made it all the better.

As he was enjoying his sexy memories, Zak heard his cell phone beeping and flipped it open. It said he had a new message from a number he didn't recognize but felt he ought to. He hit the button to check the text and saw it was from Tammy.

<<I had a great time last night, Zak! Thanks! xx Tammy>>

Well well...guess she was just as impressed with me as I was with her. Good to know.

Zak saved the number to his contacts, and thought about how to reply. An idea came to him, and he unzipped his pants, pulling out his dick. He was already getting stiff from thinking back on the previous night, and now gave himself a few slow strokes to bring enough to full hardness. Snapping a picture of himself gripping...himself...he sent the picture to Tammy's phone with the message <<I was just thinking about you Sexy. Had a great time last night too>>

Jessica


Jessica had rushed home from work, feeling tired, but so excited about the prospect of hooking up with Nick. Hopefully he would not reconsidered.

She dressed with particular care, picking out her favourite denimn mini skirt and a black halter top that accentuated her breasts, and minimised her waist. She wanted to look sexy, but not like she had spent ages getting ready, like it was something she might normally wear. She arranged her hair into a soft updo, little bits framing her face, and she added just a touch of mascara and lip gloss.

She checked herself out in the mirror. She looked good! She was ready. She sat in the sitting room and waited on Nick, who had said earlier that he'd be a little later than he orginally intended.

She heard the door buzz, and rushed out, flinging it open and smiling when she saw the single rose that Nick had brought her. "Oh Nick! That is so sweet! Thank you!" she said, and leaned in and kissed him.


Tammy

Tammy showered away her sweat and her rage and renewed her resolve to prove to everyone that she had moved on. She had texted Zak, and was resisting the urge to check her phone to see if he had messaged her back. finally, curiosity got the better of her, and she checked her phone, grinning madly when she opened the picture he had sent her!

She made it her screen saver, and then thought about what to text back, settinling on <<Mmmmm yummy!! You shouldn't tease me with that wonderful pleasure tool of yours! Its making me hungry!! If you get hungry, give me a call, and I'll treat you to a home cooked meal - you do know what they are ...... right?? LOL!>>

 

[RP519]

- - - Nick and Jessica - - -​

"Oh Nick! That is so sweet! Thank you!"

Jessica's kiss, the sight of her, even just her being close help to make Nick feel a little better. Still, the fight with Tammy was sticking with him, and it probably showed in the smile he gave to her. Hoping to keep it from her just a little longer, Nick embraced her and kissed her cheek.

"Yes, well, you deserve sweet. And I don't know if Ta...if you ever noticed, but I like to give little gifts, or cards, or whatever for no real reason. So you better get used to it."

Nick took a small step back and looked at Jessica's outfit. He raised an eyebrow, putting a hand on either side of her waist, glancing pointedly down at her breasts, enhanced by her top. "Jessica, darling, I would swear you've...grown...just a little bit since this morning. Not that I'm complaining, since you grew in the best way."

With another soft kiss, on her lips this time, Nick stepped inside. He related to Jessica how things had gone with Tammy, and how things had gone wrong. Telling her the cold, vile things he himself had said to his ex shamed him, but Nick told it all anyway.

"So, I'm sorry Jessica, that you might feel some of the backlash. Tammy seemed angry enough when I left to start dragging both our names through the mud. I hope it won't be too bad for either of us, but whatever happens, you're worth it to me."

- - - Zak - - -​

<<Mmmmm yummy!! You shouldn't tease me with that wonderful pleasure tool of yours! Its making me hungry!! If you get hungry, give me a call, and I'll treat you to a home cooked meal - you do know what they are ...... right?? LOL!>>

Zak read the text from Tammy with a smirk, and considered his current situation. Sitting alone at home, watching a bad action movie, with a fast food burger for company. Certainly there were better ways to spend a night, and another go-around with Tammy was one of them. All the same, he couldn't just cave and let her have all the power. He set his phone aside and went back to his movie.

On the second commercial break...network tv made even a cheesy movie worse with all the interuptions...he finally replied. It had been close to twenty five minutes, long enough that he knew Tammy had had to wait and he wouldn't seem too eager.

<< Yea, I know what a home cooked meal is; thay're what I get my girlfriends to make me, cause I can't do it myself. I might be a bit hungry...but maybe you should convince me to come over for a snack ;-p >>

 

[sallythescorpian]

Jessica:

"So, I'm sorry Jessica, that you might feel some of the backlash"

Jessica was instantly mad at Tammy. Did that girl think she could have her cake and eat it too?? Tammy had dumped Nick, she had fucked off with Zak within hours of the breakup, and she dared to have a problem with Jessica and Nick getting together???????

While Jessica certainly did not want to fall out with her friend, she wa not willing, in any way at all, to sacrifice her own chance of happiness, so she decided then and there, if Tammy didn't like it - tough!!

She hugged Nick hard, and kissed him, deeply and passionately. She looked at him "Tammy had you, and didn't appreciate you, she has moved on, and I think we should also. I want you Nick. I have always been attracted to you, but of course, i would never have done anything about it while you guys were together, and I know you wouldnt have either. You're an honorable guy, with principles, but you and I, we have needs too, and I want a relationship with you Nick - I dont want to rush you, I'm not trying to pressure you, I'm simply telling you exactly how I feel, no mind-games, I dont like that crap! The ball is in your court, Nick, its up to you to move us forward, when you are ready, I'll respect that!"


Tammy:

Tammy was having horror visions of Nick, her Nick with Jessica!! He'd been forever ogling her tits, and now she imaged him face down in them!!

Zak wasn't exactly beating a path to her door, now was he!! It was more than a little blow to her ego!! Jesus! What if he was out someplace?

<< Yea, I know what a home cooked meal is; thay're what I get my girlfriends to make me, cause I can't do it myself. I might be a bit hungry...but maybe you should convince me to come over for a snack ;-p >>

She leapt on the phone when it signalled a message had been received. That smug, arogent bastard!! She had been the one to use him, and now, following Nick's remark, she needed absolutely, for Zak to take her out some more, preferably parade her in front of Nick, so he could see what he was missing.

<<Hmmmmm, that last pic you sent, perhaps you could bring that on over, bring me out for a few, and then I could have a snack on that - or, if you were a good boy, perhaps a whole meal!!!! >>

Impulsively, she stripped off her top, and quickly snapped a shot of her tits, and then attached it and sent it to Zak, and waited on a response!
