Chapter 14 W

hen the morning sun did pierce its way into Garners bedroom, he was already awake staring at his white-textured sheetrock ceiling and contemplating his next move. To his right, Tamira appeared to be sleeping rather content. And, no, the sun didnt really tell her age. He ran his hand across his dick and balls. They still felt thick and full, yearning for more. Garner decided he had nothing to lose. Since Tamira had her back to him, he ventured to enter her from behind. Pussy from that position is just as good as any other, he thought, and he found her slit still silky wet from five hours ago. He made slow, careful thrusts; the sensation of pressing his entire groin area into her ass cheeks made it even more arousing. He reached around and clutched her equally supple breasts. She reached back to stroke his hip while he pushed his dick deeper. She also responded by pushing her ass against him, moaning. Then she looked over her left shoulder at him. Is this your idea of saying good morning to me? Not a bad idea, would you agree? Not really Garner hummed with each sensation he felt from Tamiras pussy. Now

he had hoped for her to get into like the night before. Besides, what was pussy without a woman giving it back to him? I meant that I didnt agree with you, she then blurted. He froze in mid-stroke. He found it incredulous that she would react that way after he started. What do you mean youre not agreeing with me? She was terse with him. I have other things on my mind right now, and I would appreciate if you would stop. Garner stared agape. Surely, this must have been her way of joking back into her former no personality, no chemistry persona once again. Shit, he cursed to himself. As soon as he thought about being a nice guy, this is what happened. They just dont get laid! He shook his head and was reluctant to withdraw. Im not going to question you why you dont want to do this; you could have at least let me finish what I started. You never asked me; therefore, I dont see why Im obligated to accommodate you. Tamira had now stood up, searching for the towel that she had covered herself when Garner had talked her out of going back to Orangeburg. But that was over near the bedroom door, a good eight feet away. It seemed almost contradictory that Garner, who just minutes ago was admiring her beauty and intelligence, was now cursing at her resisting him. She left the bathroom door partially open. Instead of following her in there maybe to grope and fondle her as two consenting adults might do, he found himself telling her from a distance that there was a brand new toothbrush in his medicine cabinet and it was still in the wrapper. Thank you. Humph. Thank you for what? he huffed. He heard the shower water running. He knew there was finality with her statement. He felt she had just taken him on a joy ride. Now he was being kicked to the curb at his own expense. It seemed not fair, but he tried reasoning to himself that any time a man can get some pussy out of it he was already ahead of the game; it was a bonus if he could get more. Grudgingly, he got out of the bed still naked. He ventured off into the

living room where he gathered her clothing and brought them back into the bedroom. When she emerged from the bathroom, she was covered in another bath towel. He did take note that while she did show some aging on her neck, her face still appeared youthful even without any makeup. Her hair was still relatively in tact from the previous nights activity. I thought you might appreciate me bringing your clothes in here. I do. Garner took his turn in the bathroom, and he emerged from it ten minutes later in some dark denim jeans and wearing a plain black and teal t-shirt. Would you like to stop for some breakfast on the way back into Columbia? Tamira, who entertained herself by watching C-Span, clicked off the television. He offered her his hand. She rebuffed his offer. When she stood up, he attempted to draw her closer to him for a kiss, but she looked away, placing her hand against his chest. Damn, what did I do? He opened the door for her. He did not bother to steal a glance from behind. Once inside his car, Tamira looked straight ahead without mincing words. He felt as though he had been reduced to driving back to the station like a cab driver and she was his fare. They were two exits away from Garners Ferry Road along I-77 southbound after they passed the Forest Drive exit. Garner, attempting to break the tension, noticed that Tamira was leaning against her hand, which was supported by her elbow on the armrest. May I ask why Im getting the silent treatment? He heard her exhale loudly through her nose. She appeared to be in a contemplative mode. She continued looking straight ahead, but had now leaned her head against the headrest. I would rather not talk about it right now. Ive got some things I need to do today, and I know its going to consume a lot of my mental energy. Is that what this is all about? Not really. Im not a mind reader. Garner, I, uh

He noticed she was uncomfortable with what she wanted to tell him. He ran his hand through his hair. Then he down shifted into third and then into second before he turned right onto Garners Ferry. Never mind, she said. Would it be too much to ask you if you had a nice time at all with me? No. Well, were close to the station. I noticed. Did you forget that I drove the same route last night? Sheesh! Look, I apologize if I offended you for this morning. You dont need to apologize. They remained silent the rest of the way. Tamiras car was parked about three-fourths of the way to the rear where most of the employees were from the night before. Most of the cars in the lot that morning were closer to the front. They were employees working the morning broadcast. He parked his car next to her drivers door. She left without any parting comment or glances. He kept his head tilted downward, gazing at the instrument buttons on his console and punching 1 on his preset station buttons for the sports talk radio. Then he heard the muffled closing of her door. He waited for her to start her engine before he took off with a slight screech of his tires, which was contrary to the way he left the parking lot just the night before.
