September Tango (19 page)

Calvin nodded. “Sounds good. Want me to order for you?”

“
Sure.” She wrapped her arm around his waist and he kissed her forehead.

They came up next in line. The cashier was popping gum and obviously bored. “What can I do you for?”

“She'd like a cheeseburger, fries, and a medium chocolate shake. I'd like a chicken sandwich, fries, and a Coke.” He pulled his wallet out of his front pocket and slid his debit card out of the slot.

“
Okay. For here or to go?” She tapped her long fingernails on the counter.

“
For here,” he said quickly. She finished punching a couple of buttons and he slid his to her across the counter card to pay. He took his cup and filled it at the fountain while she waited for the food. Once their order was ready, he took the tray from her and they sat in a blue booth. He slid the brown tray across the white table and they began to eat. She opened several ketchup packets and squirted them over her fries. “You like ketchup?”

“
Yeah, I have a problem, don't I?” She picked up a dripping fry and he smirked.

“
No, I just am not too crazy about it.”

“
To each their own, I guess?” They finished eating in silence. He pulled the list out of his pocket and his phone.

“
How about we try the Regency Park apartments first? They are open till seven.” He took another drink of his Coke and finished the last bite of his sandwich.

She nodded. “Sounds good. I'm ready to go if you are.” They emptied the tray and left the restaurant. As they drove through Colorado Springs, the town outside the base, she tried to memorize basic landmarks. There was a grocery store and a Post Office. His phone directed them to a small brick complex. It looked to be two stories and had tons of flowers and nicely manicured shrubs around the buildings. They could see a small pool behind the office, and there seemed to be plenty of families living at the complex. He parked the car and they walked up to the office.

He squeezed her hand. “Are you excited?”

“
Yeah, I can't wait to have a place of our own.” He opened the wooden door and they walked into a cozy office with cream colored carpet, a stone fireplace and a few desks with wooden chairs. A young woman walked up to them with a bright smile.

“
Hi, I'm Sarah, welcome to Regency Park Apartments. How can I help you?”

“
We would like to talk to you about apartments. Can you tell me what you have available?” Calvin spoke up.

“
Sure! We have some different apartments available. What do you need? A one or two bedroom?” She walked to a desk and pointed to the chairs. “Why don't you guys sit down?”

Calvin looked at Zoe, who shrugged. “How about we see some two bedrooms. We might like the extra space.”

“Okay, we can do that. When do you want to move in?”

Calvin smirked. “Tomorrow.”

“Oh! Are you new to the area?” She smiled quickly as she looked through their inventory.

“
I am stationed at Fort Carson, we just got married and I'm going to be heading to Afghanistan early next week. I want her in a house.”

“
Absolutely, and thank you for your service, sir. We actually have some fantastic programs for military. How about I show you the only apartment we have available? Would you like to see it?”

They nodded and she directed them outside. They followed her around to a building and she unlocked the door with a card. They went down the well lit cream colored hall to apartment number four. “Here we are.” She unlocked the wooden door and stepped inside. The entryway was tiled, with enough room to leave shoes. There was plenty of natural light from several windows in the living room. The last vestiges of afternoon sunlight filtered through them, highlighting the chocolate colored carpet and the two tone paint work. Zoe walked through with the woman, seeing the small tile floored dining room and kitchen, with updated stainless steel appliances. She nodded excitedly at Calvin behind the woman's back. The bathroom was fresh too, with the same chocolate and cream paint job, a tiled floor and a pedestal sink. It housed a nice sized tub and storage for towels and toiletries. The bedrooms were large, with plenty of closet space and windows. “What do you guys think?” The young woman smiled. “Want me to give you a few minutes? I'll just step outside. You let me know.”

Calvin pulled Zoe into his arms. “You like it, don't you?”

She nodded. “I do. I can see a lot of potential.”

“Wanna sign a lease on it? It looks really safe, I like the card entry.”

“
Can you afford it?” She looked at him with concern.

He bent to kiss her mouth. “Yes, we can afford it.”

“Then yes, I want it!” They went to the hall and expressed their desire for the apartment. Within half an hour, they had signed the lease and had keys in hand. They got back into the car and drove back to Fort Carson. Zoe leaned her head against the window and dozed off. Her eyes opened again as they pulled up in front of the hotel.

They walked inside and rode the elevator to their room. “I want a shower. I'm so tired, Calvin.”

“I bet you are, Babe; jet lag. Go ahead and take a bath. I'll get the bed ready for us and clean up after you're done.” He turned to pull the cover back on the bed and she caught him around the waist.

“
No, come with me.” She pulled him to the bathroom door and stripped her clothes off before stepping in the tub. “Come on,” she smiled softly. “I won't bite, unless you want me to.”

He groaned and pulled his clothes off quickly, joining her in the shower. She was lathering her long hair with shampoo and he took a washcloth and put some of her body wash on it. He scrubbed her back and ass and down her legs. She turned and began rinsing her hair. He scrubbed from the tops of her feet, up her long legs, her stomach and breasts, and down her arms. She sighed and rinsed off. “Thank you, Baby.” She leaned forward and kissed his shoulder. She slid around him and he stood under the shower spray. She reciprocated, washing his body as he scrubbed his head.

“Thank you, Baby,” he smirked. “Let's get you dried off and in bed.”

She pouted and stroked his erection. “I want you.”

“And you can have me, just once we're in bed. The shower is too small.” He kissed her mouth and turned the water off. She stepped out and handed him a towel, drying herself quickly. She stepped out and came back with their toothbrushes. They finished getting ready for bed and she stumbled over to the bed, crawling in between the sheets.

“
I'm tired.” She curled up on her side.

“
Then go to sleep. I'll be here in the morning.” He kissed her forehead, seeing her lids already drifting closed. He turned the TV on low, watching Family Guy as he too, drifted off to sleep.

Chapter Twenty-Five
– Thursday

She rolled over and stretched. It was still dark out. The clock beside the bed read six AM. It would be eight in Mobile. Calvin was lying on his back, his long arm over his eyes. She slipped out of bed and went to the bathroom and quickly brushed her teeth. She tiptoed back to the bed and slowly pulled the covers back. His cock stood tall, he definitely had morning wood. She smirked and bent to press a kiss to the head. He groaned and shifted slightly. She stuck her tongue out and licked him. He shifted again and she grasped his shaft firmly and took him into her mouth.

“
Holy shit, Zoe!” He cried out as he came quickly awake. He found his beautiful wife's mouth wrapped around his dick, and she was sucking him for all he was worth. Her rosy mouth went up and down his length, nibbling and sucking, tasting and teasing. He caught a hand in her hair and pulled gently. “Stop, Baby.”

She let go of his dick with a soft pop of her mouth. “Why? I was having fun.” She pouted.

“Because I'm going to come, and I'm not ready to yet.” He sat up quickly and pulled her on top of him. Her breasts pressed into his chest and he groaned. “A guy can get used to that kind of wake up.”

“
Can he, now? I figured since I'd passed out last night, I needed to wake my husband up properly.”

“
I think I can make it really proper, Mrs. Hall.” He flipped her onto her back and she squeaked. He snaked a hand between her thighs and teased her core. “You're soaking wet, Mrs. Hall.” He nuzzled her full breast, the pink nipple standing at attention.

“
I like giving a blow job. It turns me on.” She shrugged nonchalantly.

“
Damn, I am a lucky man.” He suckled her breast and slipped a finger deep into her heat, bringing her honey up to her nub of pleasure. She groaned and bucked against his hand.

“
Calvin, I want you.”

He smiled against her breast. “Do you?” He shifted and lay between her legs, the head of his dick probing against her hot sheath. He caught her legs and put them over his shoulders, driving deep into her. She cried out, her walls quivering around him. “You are so close, aren't you?” He pounded into her and she moaned.

“Calvin...” She groaned out. She twisted her hands in the sheets.

“
Yes, Zoe?” He slowed his tempo and she cried out. “What do you want?”

“
Take me, Calvin.” Her face and chest was flushed and she was panting. “Please. Please!”

He moved slowly into her again and she quaked. “Are you close, Mrs. Hall?”

“Calvin!” She screamed, nearly to her breaking point. He felt her tightening around him and he drove deep into her, finding his own release as she found hers. He pressed a kiss to her quivering leg and eased them off his shoulders before kissing her mouth.

“
Good morning, Mrs. Hall.” He drew her into his arms. “How about breakfast?”

They got dressed and went ahead and checked out of the hotel. They'd be spending the night in the new apartment. “We need so much furniture,” she groaned.

“Yeah, but don't worry about it.”

“
I want to hit some thrift stores. I like old stuff.” She grinned.

“
Fine. I want a new bed.”

They had breakfast at a quaint little diner and began the search for furniture. A couple of stores they went into were way too expensive for Zoe's taste. They finally found a furniture warehouse that had prices she could tolerate. She skipped merrily through the store, picking pieces she liked. She worked off of the chocolate and cream color scheme of the apartment and demanded they have a mahogany canopy bed.  They had gotten to the store early enough in the day to get delivery that afternoon. They walked out with everything but TVs and basic items for a house.

“Want to go to Target?” He slung his arm around her shoulders as they left the store.

“
Yeah, we could do that.” They got in the car and drove a few minutes over to the Super Target. They both got carts and headed to house wares. The store was packed in advance of Labor Day Weekend; everyone was getting stuff to grill.

They took the store aisle by aisle, picking curtains and towels, dishes and silverware. Finally they had as many things as they could think of for the new house and headed back to electronics, where Calvin was in his element. He haggled the price down on a floor model HDTV that he liked and loaded it in the cart. They paid for the items and loaded everything into the rental car. The back seat was packed, as was the trunk.

“I think we bought too much, Babe.” Calvin smirked as he kissed her. She stuck her tongue out.

“
It's your big TV taking up all the room.” She elbowed him in the side.

“
You'll thank me later when everything looks huge on the screen.” She rolled her eyes and laughed. “Where to now, my love?”

She checked the dashboard clock and sighed. “I can't believe it's already the afternoon. The furniture will be there soon. Do you want to pick up some groceries so we can cook dinner after they bring the furniture and set it up?”

“Sure, we could do that. Eat dinner tonight in our brand new house. What do you think about that?” He squeezed her hand and smiled as he navigated through the town.

“
It sounds perfect.” They pulled into the parking lot of the small grocery store and walked through the automatic glass doors. It was a Mom and Pop kind of store, just what Zoe liked. She picked up some basics; cereal they both could agree on, milk and cheese, bread and peanut butter. He snagged some frozen pizzas and they agreed on meals for the rest of the time he'd be home. They finished shopping and managed to squeeze the bags in the back. They drove to the apartment complex and began unloading everything, grateful for a first floor apartment. A few minutes after they got everything inside, a knock came at the door. The furniture was there. Zoe put everything away in the kitchen as Calvin directed the movers. Finally, everything was in place and the movers left, after they checked to make sure there were no scratches on the furniture.

They worked together wiping everything down with some of Grams' famous lemon Pledge. They put their few clothes away and he hooked up the new TV. The rest of the house would wait until another day. He hooked the laptop to the TV and they watched Netflix, borrowing a neighbor's Wi-Fi until they could get internet and cable. They cooked dinner together, making spaghetti and garlic bread before eating at their new table and washing up the dishes. He caught her around the waist.

“I love being like this with you.” He kissed the back of her neck.

“
I love being like this with you.” They spent the night watching bad movies on Netflix and talking about their future.
