The Eternity that Follows (13 page)

Gabriella could tell that Joey was hard through his boxers.
Joey took off his boxers, exposing his desire for her. He then
stepped into the bathtub shower, and held out his hand for
Gabriella to do the same. When Gabriella got into the shower,
Joey was under the showerhead getting his body wet. Gabriella
noticed Joey’s sexy six pack. She took one look at Joey’s hard on,
and became aroused. 'Joey’s body looks so hot wet', Gabriella
thought to herself as she pushed him out of the water so she too
could get wet. Joey pretended to be mad at Gabriella as she dipped
her head back to wet her hair.
“Hey! That’s my water.” Joey said.
“Our water.” Gabriella replied.

Joey kissed Gabriella hard, it was no secret to either of
them, he was in the mood.
Gabriella was still turned on by Joey’s
wet body. She saw no need for foreplay as she jumped into Joey’s
arms, quickly placed him inside of her, and began to ride him
standing up. Joey was hesitant to make love in the shower to
Gabriella, for he didn’t have a condom on and he now had a sense
of worship for Gabriella’s body. Joey took notice the first time
they had slept together, she cared for her body and worked out.
Joey didn’t want to take advantage of his sort of wife.
“Gabriella are you sure?” Joey asked Gabriella.

Gabriella realized quickly what he was talking about.
Gabriella was caught up in the moment. Joey’s arms were holding
her bottom side, his private placed in her, as she rode him with
intimacy.
“Just pull out Joey.”
“Say if I can’t?” Joey said. He then groaned to the pleasure
Gabriella was giving him
“Say if you can?” Gabriella said.

Gabriella stopped riding Joey. She was looking down into
Joey’s eyes while water dropped from her face onto his. Feeling
seduced by how sexily Gabriella had said her words, Joey pushed
her against the title, holding her up with one hand, pressing the
other on the title for support. Joey penetrated her hard until he felt
the begging of his climax. Joey than dropped Gabriella to her feet
as he grabbed himself, finishing off his climax. Gabriella laughed
and giggled as his timing had been perfect. While Joey was hitting
her spot hard, he had given her an orgasm just moments before he
pulled out. Joey was aware of Gabriella’s climax as that had been
what had set him off.

Both wet, they took turns sharing the shower head.
Gabriella lathered hers and Joey’s hair with Shampoo. As Joey
was rinsing the shampoo from his hair, he washed Gabriella’s
body, tending to her breasts with a soft touch, using the same touch
as he washed her private area. Gabriella felt sexual pleasure as he
ran his finger over her clit.
“You like that?” Joey teased, giving Gabriella a sexy kiss.
Gabriella stayed silent.

Joey went on to wash Gabriella’s back side, leaving no
room for un comfort between them Joey washed the inside of
Gabriella’s butt cheeks with his hand as if it were his own.
Gabriella felt comfortable with Joey to allow him to do that, but
realized she wasn’t ready yet to return the act of intimacy. Joey
than moved out of the water, allowing Gabriella time with the
shower head to rinse off her hair and body. Joey washed his own
body as Gabriella’s hands were busy pushing the shampoo out of
her hair. As Gabriella was done rinsing the shampoo out of her
hair, she stepped out of the water, and put conditioner in.
“Do you want some?” Gabriella asked, offering Joey the
conditioner. Joey placed out his palm and Gabriella squeezed a
small amount of conditioner from the bottle into Joey’s hand.
Gabriella gave Joey the water as he faced forward to rinse the front
of his body. Gabriella picked up the soap, and lathered it into her
hands, then rubbing Joey’s back with the soap, and then washing
his muscular back, giving Joey the chills as she did so. Joey
grabbed Gabriella’s arm from behind him, and pushed her close to
him. Gabriella hugged from behind with tender love, as she kissed
the back of both sides of his shoulders. Joey finished rinsing
himself and than got out of the shower, giving the water back to
Gabriella so she could rinse herself off. When Gabriella was done,
she turned off the water. Joey was waiting outside of the shower
with a towel in hand on the bath mat, wrapped in a towel himself.
Gabriella stepped out of the shower and Joey dried her off with the
towel. Gabriella was speechless, Joey was being so attentive to
her. Gabriella felt the need to speak up for their shower was long,
intimate and only a few words had been spoken.
“I think our souls just made love.” She said .
“I think so too. Soul mate.” Joey said, kissing Gabriella on the
lips. “Come on I don’t want to be late for work.”

Once in Joey’s work truck, Gabriella noticed, Joey didn’t
have any presets set on his work truck radio.
“Well do it up darling.” Joey said, giving Gabriella permission to
set the radio stations in his truck.

Gabriella selected her stations as Joey got lost in thought.
Joey wasn’t thinking ‘what have I got myself into’ for he was
deeply in love with Gabriella. Joey wanted to spend the rest of his
life with her. Joey filled his thoughts with worry over money, his
business, and the amount of time he had to offer to their
relationship. Joey then thought about how he wanted to buy
Gabriella an engagement ring to wear over her tattoo, considering
how traditional she was. Once on Gabriella’s street, Joey pulled
the truck over. Gabriella felt her heart slid into her stomach as she
worried herself why Joey had pulled over.
“Maybe you shouldn’t pack your things today.” Joey said, a bit
apprehensive.

Gabriella’s heart stopped until her blood pressure sky
rocketed.
“What?” Gabriella said, calmly, looking down at her ring finger,
almost in tears.
“Oh no. No baby, I didn’t mean that.” Joey said, then mad at
himself after realizing his words set her up for a downfall.
Gabriella gasped for air.
“Why not Joey?”
“Well, I was just thinking about how we planned to move your
furniture into my apartment. I think that’s kind of a silly thing to
do. Maybe we should live at your parent’s house and save money
like you suggested.”
“That would be okay with me.” Gabriella said, relieved.
“It’s just that I have a good amount of money saved away. I’m
able to care for you Gabriella, really. I am.” Joey said, sensing
Gabriella had grown uncomfortable over the thought of him having
to care for her financially. “But until I’m done with this house I’m
currently building, I’m not going to be taking home any money.”
Joey finished, comfortable enough explaining his financial
situation to Gabriella. He knew his business was going to take off
once he got the house he was working on finished, and ready for a
walk through. This blueprint was better then the blueprint Tie’s
father was now building all over the United States.
“Okay, so we’ll live with my parents for now.”
“Would that be okay with you? I know we were both excited to
call my apartment your home.”
“Yesssss.” Gabriella said, excitedly to comfort Joey. She wanted
to let him know, she would love to live at her parent’s house with
him. Actually she preferred it for the time being. “We can call it
our room.”
“Our room?”
“Yes and our bathroom.”
“I can’t wait to have you in that hot pink hot tub.”
“No sex till we’re married if we’re living under my parent’s roof.”
Gabriella said, and then she waited to see Joey’s response.

Joey started to change his mind about them living at her
parent’s house. “I’m just kidding Joey. Did you believe me?”
“Well yeah, I kind of did.”
“We did say our room. It’s not like we talked about moving you
into the guest room.” .
“Just how far away from your room is your parent’s room?”
“On the other side of the stairs, way across the hall.”
“Oh really, and your sisters?”
“Oh she lives in the apartment in the basement.”
“Oh really?”
“Oh yes Joey. Come on get me home, to our home. I don’t want
you to be late for work.”

Joey drove Gabriella home with nothing but sex on his
mind. Gabriella went to give Joey a kiss goodbye, but he wanted
more. He wouldn’t let her out of the car for five whole minutes as
they sat there play fighting. Every time Gabriella tried to get out
of the car, Joey would pull her back in ‘for one more kiss,’ he said
time and time again. Gabriella finally pushed him off of her, and
told him ‘go make me some money kid.’

Gabriella looked back after she got out of Joey’s work truck
and blew a kiss goodbye, with a seductive wink. Joey sat there for
a minute, checking Gabriella out thinking, ‘I’m the luckiest man
alive.’

When Gabriella got inside of her house, all she wanted to
do was run upstairs to avoid her parents. She planned not to come
out of her room until they left for work. Even though Gabriella
had told Joey that she wanted to tell her parents alone that they
were engaged, she now had second thoughts. Gabriella was lucky
to reach her bedroom without her parents noticing her. Gabriella
decided it would be unfair to Joey if she laid in bed to take a nap.
Joey was after all at work, bringing his blueprint he had sketched
in vision of her to life. Gabriella decided to go onto Facebook.
She sent Joey an engaged relationship request, and then went to his
page. When she first got to his page, she realized she was his only
friend on Facebook. In fact Joey’s page was completely empty.
There were no pictures, no information and he hadn’t yet made his
first status. Gabriella decided to leave him a comment. ‘See you
when you get home from work hunnie <3 ;).’ Gabriella made a
mental note to herself that she would have to have Joey check his
Facebook after dinner. She also made a mental note, she would
need to take some pictures of him for his profile. That got
Gabriella thinking why she and her friends hadn’t brought a
camera out to the club with them. They were so accustomed to
taking pictures. Gabriella remembered back to the night before the
club, she started smiling about how she intended to bring her
camera along, but Joey had made her run late.

Joey was in an awfully good mood when he got to work.
Though Gabriella had made him crave her before he left her, he
was still satisfied from their morning shower. Joey arrived to work
a little later than his workers. When Joey walked into the almost
built house, he noticed, his workers had picked up where they had
left off at the end of the shift on Friday. The second floor of the
house was almost done being built. The ceilings above the second
floor were in the process of being constructed as was the attic
floor. The walls on the second floor were being plastered, still yet
to be painted, and there was still carpet left to be laid. After that,
would come the roof, and then the house would be completed.
Joey had all phases of construction going at once, and was in a bit
of the rush to have the home finished. Joey had plans of taking
pictures of both the inside floor plan, and the exterior of the home
to hand out to realtors selling land. Joey didn’t want to just sell his
blueprint to a company. He knew he would make more money if
his company was the one to build the houses. Joey knew that
would involve traveling and management on his part. Joey
smirked to himself, looking down at his ring tattoo, that his almost
wife was about to start school in fewer then two months, in the
field of Business Management. Joey found that ironic and noted
he had just found another reason why Gabriella was perfect for
him.

Recalling Gabriella had told Joey she wished to live on
Lake Mandala, he wondered how she would feel to live on Lake
Romantica instead. Joey had a wish at that moment, to keep this
house for him and Gabriella to live in. He knew it would be
possible being the funding for the next projects would come from
the investments of those building their own dream home. All that
it meant was he wouldn’t be able to put his next blueprint to life as
quickly, but that was something he was willing to wait on.

At lunch time, Joey decided to give Gabriella a call. He
was sure he would grow accustomed to doing so. He missed her
already, and couldn’t wait to eat what she was cooking for him.
Joey laughed to himself, remembering Gabriella walking out of his
room yesterday to tell her mom the ingredients she needed from
the store. She returned back into his room announcing to him that
it was a surprise, after Joey told her he didn’t want to keep secrets.

Gabriella was in the middle of working out when Joey
called. Gabriella worked out in the spare bedroom across from her
room. She kept her phone with her in the room with the ringer on
loud, calling it once to make sure she could hear it over the music.
Joey’s call had perfect timing, Gabriella had just finished up her ab
exercises, and was getting up to grab her weights when she heard
the phone ring.
“Hello there sexy.” Gabriella answered, delighted Joey had called.
“Right back at ya.”
“How’s work going babe?”
“It’s good. It’s going by quick thinking of you. What are you up
to?”
“Just my workout routine.”
“Oh, you’re at home?” Joey asked, not liking the idea of Gabriella
working out in a gym with men watching.
“Yes silly.” Gabriella said, picking up on Joey’s jealousy. “I have
a treadmill, a mat, and weights set up in the spare bedroom.”
“Oh.” Joey said, feeling he didn’t need all the details, just to know
that she was at home. “I go to the gym at the shopping center in
Candlewood after work Monday thru Thursday.” Joey said,
realizing they were still getting to know each other.

Gabriella grew disappointed realizing if he went to the gym
at night, he would be coming home to her even later. Joey soon
realized Gabriella might feel that way and offered, “I guess I’ll
start going in the morning. I can’t wait to see you later Gabriella.”
Gabriella felt turned on by Joey’s words.
“Oh Joey, you’re so romantic.”
“Gabriella, not when I’m at work, you know what your words do
to me.” Joey said, feeling like he was being seduced into bed.
“Joey, your words do that too.” Gabriella said, causing him a
slight erection. “Did you eat anything this morning?” Gabriella
asked, to change the subject. She didn't want to make Joey hunger
for her while at work..
“No.” Joey admitted honestly. “I don’t get the chance to eat
breakfast much.”
“Well you’re having lunch right?”
“I was planning to work through lunch. I want to get home early
to you.”
“Joey, you have to eat or you’ll be too weak to work, and I’m
going to be home all day worrying about you.”
“Okay, I’ll grab something to eat. I’m sure one of the guys
brought me in a sandwich, they usually do.”
“Well that’s going to be my job from now on.” Gabriella said,
liking the idea of playing homemaker with her almost husband.
Gabriella had reminded Joey of how new everything was.
“Have you talked to your parents yet?” He asked.
“No, I didn’t want to tell them before they left for work.”
“Are you scared?”
“A little.”
“Well don’t be! Just wait for me.”
“Okay hunnie. I’ll try to. Go eat something and get back to work.
I can’t wait to see you.”
“All right darling, miss you.”
“I miss you more.”
“Lets not debate this.” Joey said, as his heart was longing to see
Gabriella. He could stay on the phone all day with her arguing
who missed the other more. “I’ll see you tonight my little lady.”
“Almost little lady.”
“I love you.” .
“Love you too” Gabriella said, hanging up the phone.
