Must Wait (6 page)

Once church is over, my family heads to the Cantina
for family day. I look around the bar looking for Katie. I
spot her off at the tree line where she is alone. I walk off
to meet her as she walks further away from me. Once
near the backside of the school, I find her sitting on the
stairs. I sit one stair down from her turning to look at her.
She leans down to me, grabbing my shirt. She pulls me to
her as she kisses me boldly. She pulls away.

“Pedro, I want to stay the night at your place tonight.
Can you make arrangements for Ramón?”
I pull back looking into her eyes, “Yes, but I thought you
needed to make a phone call?”

She nods. “Yes, but I thought afterwards about
going back to your place. Once Mommy hits the couch, I
will sneak out to meet you. She plays her iPod loudly, so
she will never know I am gone.”

I nod. “I do not think it is a good idea that you stay
over. I am afraid of what might happen.”
She laughs. “No, that is not going to happen, Pedro.
We will have some fun, but then I want to breathe you in
as I sleep with your secure strong arms wrapped around
me.” I see the sincerity in her eyes.
“Okay, I will make arrangements for Ramón for the
night.”
She smiles and then kisses me tenderly. She stands
up running off back to the Cantina. I watch her, fully
knowing how concerned I am when she goes back off to
school. Knowing that she and Noelia share an apartment.
I am worried and jealous.

My heart pounds as I wait for her outside Olivia’s house
in the dark. I had no problem getting Paolo to watch
Ramón for the night. Paolo is a hopeless romantic like
myself, but Lasaro is worried I will get hurt when she
leaves. I see movement at the front door then I flicker my
lights. The person moves towards me. I wait patiently in
the balmy jungle night air. My passenger door pulls open
and I see Katie standing there.

She looks over at me. “Hey, Pedro.”
I nod. “Hello, Katie.”
She climbs into the truck keeping her eyes focused

straight ahead. She glances over to me. “Let’s roll so I can
get this phone call over with then I can ravage your body
all night long, Pedro.”

I throw the truck in reverse as I look over at my
beautiful prize in my truck. We drive in silence as she
pulls out her cell phone and looks at it. She reaches over
grabbing my knee.

“Pedro, I have five bars now. That should be enough
for this call.”
I stop the truck and power it off. I watch her face in
the backdrop light of her cell phone.
She hits a button then pulls the phone to her ear.
“Grandpa, hi.” She pauses listening for a few seconds.
“No, Mommy is doing great. I will have her call you
Grandpa. What no? I do not want to speak to him. No,
not now.” She sighs. “Hi, Daddy, you are at Grandpa’s
house? Daddy, she is doing great. No, Daddy, please
don’t come down here. She has moved on, no, really.”
She listens as she shifts ears and her hand moves, tracing
a circle on my knee. “Daddy, there are many strong men
down here that will protect Mommy. No one is going to
hurt her. She is not weak, Daddy. No! I will see you when
I get home. Please just leave her alone.” She ends her call
looking up at me frowning. “Pedro, I am ready to go
now.”

I drive back to my house, watching her closely. I glance
over at her a few times.
“Is your father that bad, Katie?”
She nods. “Oh my God, yes. He is so controlling. I
do not know what Mommy sees in him. Grandpa has not
been his biggest fan either in the last few years. I do not
understand why Daddy is there at his house. Daddy just
needs to let her go and move on with Parker.”
I glance over at her. “Why did you lie to him about
Olivia moving on?”
She smiles. “She will. Only a matter of time. Last
thing anyone needs down here is my father stirring her
up. She caves at the sight of him. Many times, she has
tried to leave him, but she runs back to him every time.”
I glance over to her again. “She loves him, Katie. All
these years with two children. If he as abusive as you say,
maybe he can love her the right way again.”
Katie violently shakes her head. “Never, he will
never forgive her for my brother’s death. He was blaming
her years before it even happened. She is better off
without him. She does not need him messing with her
head.”
I nod my head, knowing that Katie has lived through
this abusive life with her parents. Who am I to say
anything more? I come to a stop outside my dark home.
Katie jumps out of my truck and then looks back at me.
She waits for me. I must admit I am scared to have Katie
here again. She is very wild, but I have a hard time saying
no to her. She looks back at me, waiting for me to exit my
truck. I climb out and walk to my house door, letting us
in. Katie follows me in again closing the door behind her.
She looks around the kitchen. “Pedro, do you have
eggs? I want to make us something to eat.”
I smile over at her. “Yes, I do. In the refrigerator. If
you want to use the milk up too. That is fine, but I must
warn you that it is goat’s milk.”
She smiles up to me. “I love goat’s milk. My parents
love it too as well as the cheese. They would drive for two
hours on a Saturday to get some from a farm in
Pennsylvania. Here we go, I can make us an omelet.”
I start laughing not knowing how this girl is going to
cook for me. She seems the spoiled type who doesn’t
know how to do anything for herself.
“So your parents would go on long drives, that does
not sound like two people that are not getting along. How
is he abusive, Katie?”
She chops up a tomato. “He speaks to her so nasty
like she is stupid. They are both just as equally smart.
They both are lawyers. He also blamed her for Briar’s
behavior. Briar was just like him with the nasty mouth to
Mommy. Daddy did nothing to stop him.”
“I did not know Olivia is a lawyer and your father
too. It’s no wonder why you are all spoiled.”
She glares at me and throws the tomato end at me.
“My grandpa is a lawyer too and I am not spoiled. Daddy
does love me and always has. Gosh, if he knew I was here
with you right now. He would be raging and would want
to kill you. Then scream at Mommy for hours for letting
me be here with you. Wow, lucky that we are in Costa
Rica.”
I tilt my head. “But Olivia does not know that you
are here.”
She laughs. “Nope, but Daddy would still blame her
for it. He would yell at her for the stupidest shit too. I
remember one time there was a strong summer storm and
the tree fell at the bottom of the driveway. He told her
that it was her fault and she should have had it removed
years ago. It think he would just look for reasons to yell at
her.”
I raise my eyebrows. “That is no way to go through
life being yelled at all the time. So, how did you learn to
cook?”
She starts laughing. “My Daddy! He loves cooking
and he is really good at it too. He likes the finer things in
life while Mommy is pretty plain and common. I guess
that is why she is here. She likes the simple life.”
I watch Katie as she plates our food. “Why are you
here Katie?”
She places the pan in the sink. “To see my mom. To
make sure she is alright. Too bad your older brothers are
married. Mommy would be all over them. She likes those
strong types.”
I scowl. “Why are you here Katie with me?”
She smiles. “Because I like you Pedro, isn’t that
obvious.”
I shake my head. “I do not understand you, Katie.
You are so wild. How is it that you are still a virgin?”
She laughs. “That is because I am scared of what my
father might do. He won’t go after girls. I am his little
princess. He used to be overly protective of me until Briar
died. Now he couldn’t get out of his own head. He listens
to everything his mother tells him. She is wicked mean
too. Grandma started this big fight between Mommy and
him on Christmas. He left us. Mommy went right back to
being depressed. Grandpa came to pack me up, taking me
to Cambridge since school was starting. Mommy packed
her stuff and left with no warning, no address and no
phone calls. Then she called me, and Daddy shipped me
down here to see her.”
I shake my head. “Olivia always said she was running
from her past. She said something odd one day to me.
That my brothers and I look like her husband. Is that
true?”
Katie throws her head back laughing. “Not really. He
is Italian American mix. He plays hockey and soccer too.
He sure can give you a run for your money even now
being older. He is very tall and built with black hair and
green eyes like you. Yes, there are similar features and
that is what Mommy was probably talking about.” She
picks up her phone looking at the screen, moving her
finger about. “Here is a photo of him.”
I take her phone and look at the photo. “He is a nice
looking man, Katie.”
She laughs. “Yeah, that is the only nice thing about
him. He is nice looking. When I was at my other school
during freshman year, he found out that I had a
boyfriend. He drove like a madman to come threaten
him. Mommy kept calling me, warning that if he found
out, he would kill the boy. My brother Briar told him
about the boy. When Daddy got to my dorm he forced
me to take him to the boy. Daddy pushed him around a
little and there went my chance at losing my virginity. The
boy would not even touch me. I tried a few times with
other guys, but I was too damn scared.”
I sit up. “No, Katie, it does not work that way. You
must wait until you’re married. You are not supposed to
just give yourself away like that.”
She laughs. “Come on, Pedro. Are you trying to tell
me that both you and your wife were virgins until you got
married?”
I nod my head. “Yes, of course.”
She starts laughing. “It figures. You are also the guy
who can’t move on either.”
I blink a few times. “Katie, I think I did move on.
What was last night?”
She stares at me. “You were drunk, Pedro, or you
would have never let me do that to you.”
I glance away from her stare. “No, I would have let
you regardless. You are completely beautiful.” I look back
at her eyes, knowing that I am in trouble now.
She gets up from the table and stands next to me.
She reaches down for my hand, pulling me up to my feet.
I stand there with my feet planted, not moving, as Katie
turns to look up at me.
“Let’s go to your bed, Pedro.”
I shake my head. “No, Katie. That was my wife’s
room.”
She comes closer to me. “Pedro, I told you that I was
sleeping over. Where did you want us to sleep? On that
table? I thought you said you were moving on, Pedro.”
She releases my hand, leaving me standing there as
she goes into my bedroom. I can’t do this. It feels wrong.
I try to picture my wife in my head, but I can’t. All I can
see is Katie’s face. Katie appears in the doorway only
wearing a black lace bra and black lace panty. Her skin is
so milky white and so smooth. I bite down on my bottom
lip, taking the sight of her in again. Last night was a blur
for me, but now this is real. I watch her as she moves her
long straight blonde hair over her shoulder.
She blinks at me seductively. “Pedro, are you going
to join me?”
I take two steps closer to her and stop again. She
turns and heads deeper into my bedroom. I can see her
sitting on my bed. I walk to the door frame leaning my
head against the wood as I peer at her from the corner of
my eyes.
“Katie, I honestly never thought I would see a
woman sitting on my bed ever again. Katie, I am scared.
Scared that I am not going to be able to control myself
with you.”
She smiles. “I will control you, Pedro.”
I take a few more steps feeling my nostrils flare with
my increased breathing. She moves back on the bed. She
lies back and props herself up on her elbows. I stare
down at her body taking in her full breasts that are hidden
behind that black lace. My eyes shift up to her lips as I
remember them around my cock last night.
She bites her bottom lip letting go to speak. “Pedro,
take your shirt off?”
I do as I am told pulling my shirt over my head and
throwing it off to the floor. Her eyes dance, shifting in
movement, as she looks over my chest.
“You are so strong, Pedro.” Her eyes come up to
meet mine. “Pedro, your shorts.”
I stare into her eyes while she watches my hands
unbutton the top of my shorts. I drop my shorts and
stand before her in only my boxers.
She smiles wide. “Pedro, please come here.”
I shake my head no to her. She lays back on my bed,
resting her head on the pillows. She moves her hands
down her body caressing herself. I watch in complete
excitement as she massages her breasts through her bra.
I shake my head in disbelief. “Katie, what are you
doing?”
She laughs. “I am doing what you are supposed to be
doing to me.”
She lets out a small moan as she slides her hands
down her belly. I watch her little hands slide into her
panties.
“Katie, please stop now or I am going to come all
over myself.”
She moans again as she touches herself. “Come,
Pedro. I will lick it all off."
Just as she completes that sentence I grunt and
ejaculate inside my boxer shorts. I watch her arching her
back, moaning loudly as she continues to touch herself
inside her panties. She throws her head back on the
pillow, raising to her feet and still moving her hand in a
circular motion. She screams out while straightening her
legs. She makes a few more soft moans as she removes
her hand from her panties. She sits up and searches my
eyes then she routes her eyes to my cock. She smiles,
rising up from the bed. She walks towards me. She
reaches up, cupping my face, and pulls me down to her
face. She kisses me deeply, thrusting her tongue over
mine. As she pulls away from our kiss, she gently bites my
bottom lip. She nuzzles her nose into my chest as she
starts moving downward. Her tongue flicks my nipple
and she licks down my belly. She drops to her knees and
pulls my boxers down with her. She laps up my juices
with her tongue. I stare down at her in complete ecstasy. I
pull up her hair to watch what she is doing to me. She
takes me into her mouth, moving her head back and
forth. Her hands move to my buttocks and she squeezes
my cheeks. She is moving fast and deeper into her throat.
I feel my legs getting weak and I am bending at my knees.
She looks up at me, taking my cock out of her mouth.
She stands and takes my hand, pulling me to the bed. She
pushes me down so I am laying back on the bed, looking
up at her. She reaches around her back and undoes her
bra. Her perfect full round breasts look amazing. She has
the lightest pinkest nipples. All I can do is stare at her. I
want to touch her but I am afraid to.
I growl low within my chest. “Katie, you are so
beautiful. I can’t take my eyes off you.”
She bends down, going between my legs. She once
again takes my cock into her mouth, suckling on me. Her
hands massaging my scrotum. I feel myself getting close
again. Katie stops to lick her finger then she resumes
sucking on my cock. Just then I feel something I have
never felt before. Katie’s finger slides past my scrotum
touching me in a place I never hand been touched before.
She applies pressure as I scream out.
“Katie, no. What are you doing to me? Stop now.”
She moves feverishly, sliding her mouth up and
down my shaft as her finger violates me deep. She moves
her finger, applying pressure as I scream out again. This
time my scream is in pleasure. Not even a second later,
she has me coming into her mouth again. I jolt, screaming
out her name as my eyes roll back in my head. I feel my
body trembling. I stare down at her as she stops moving.
I shake my head from side to side as I feel her finger
exit me. “Ah! Katie what the hell was that, baby?”
She leaves the room for a few minutes, leaving me
panting. She come through the door and snuggles up to
my side. She pecks a few kisses on my chest as she puts
her arm around me. I can feel her bare breasts against my
skin.
I kiss her forehead. “You are crazy. Do you know
that, Katie?”
She laughs. “I take it that was your first time getting
fucked like that, Pedro?”
I scowl at her dirty choice of words. “Yes, Katie.”
She smiles. “I could tell. I guess you and your wife
did not experiment much.”
I raise my eyebrows. “No, we weren’t together long
before she died. We also were inexperienced.”
She nods her head into my chest. “It must have been
so hard for you, Pedro. Getting married so young then
immediately getting pregnant just to lose her a few
months later.”
“It was extremely painful. I never wanted to come
back here again. Rosalie helped me get over the pain. She
talked to me almost every night. Then when I came back
here, I slept in Ramón’s room for two years. I could not
bring myself to come back into this room. I think that is
why I am so nervous with you here.”
She looks up to my eyes. “You missed her that much that
you could not come in this room?”
I tilt my head. “Yes, but this is the room where she
had to die in order to save Ramón’s life.”
Katie lifts her head, looking up to my face.
“I
thought she died in the hospital.”
I shake my head. “Nope, right here in this spot.”
Katie pushes up from me. “Oh God, Pedro. I need a
drink.”
She runs off to the kitchen and I can hear her
banging around bottles. I shake my head, listening to all
the commotion. As I walk into the kitchen, I see Katie
staring into a glass nervously chewing on her fingernails.
