Isabella hopped up in real time, went to the bathroom and John watched her leaning forward to look at the mirror. "Teddy…. What does this say on your mirror?”
Doe sat up. Questioning what she could be referring to. He hopped up and walked into the bathroom. A smile came to his lips, “In English it means, ‘though she be but little, she is fierce’. I’m not certain what the rest means.” It occurred to him that he did not know where John was. “I’m going to make sure she is not drunk in the kitchen floor with a handful of my pockey real quick.”
“Doe… I appreciate the invitation to stay but I really should be heading home. I have work in just a few hours.” “Oh… I see.” He paused. This was John’s cue.
She closed the laptop down. Tossed back her last glass and paid her tab. She sent him a quick text message saying she was on her way, for him to meet her outside when he walked Isabella out. Then she called Isabella a cab to take her home and started to run. The familiar knocks of her shoes on the ground in that old PT pace run was echoing thru her head. Her head was clearing quickly with the rain. When she got there, the taxi was pulling in and Isabella was being lead out the door. 'Perfect timing, bitch.'
'Go home.' John thought to herself. But she walked up to the woman and hugged her neck. Paid the cab and bid farewell. Doe looked at John. She had no idea what was running thru his mind at the point but she told him they should take a walk. And so they walked, Doe reaching out to hold her hand. “How was it?” she asked him.
He looked at her, “Where did you run off to?”
“I asked you first. How was it.”
Doe looked away. “Eh… It was okay.” John decided to drop the ball, “I would say pretty good considering you got to pound her, eat her, have her ride you like the fucking stud horse you are and then you jizzed all over her.” His face said it all…. How the hell did she know play by play. She must have really been there the entire time and he ignored her. How could he have done that? Words failed to escape his lips. John stopped walking and searched his eyes with her own. “Doe. Do you always fuck a woman and call her by my name?... Because that could be the root to your problem.” He still did not speak to her.
She stepped into him and kissed him deeply again and again. His arms wrapped around her pulling her in tight. Finally, she pulled back and studied him. “I was too jealous. Forgive me, please. But I have a little surprise for you later. First, let’s take this back inside.”
