Ford: I’m not sorry I kissed you.
I watched as the text changed from Sent to Delivered to Read. But no response came.
Alright, well, at least you’re listening. So I continued.
Ford: I enjoyed it so much that I just came to the memory.
Sent then Delivered then Read, again.
I smiled when no return text came. I pictured her sitting in her bed, struggling with her own desire, her eager hand at the waistband of her underwear.
What was that? You want to hear more? Well, okay, then…
Ford: My cock was all lathered up and hard. I closed my eyes and imagined my hand was you. I heard the little sound you made when I yanked your hair. You liked that, didn’t you? I felt your gorgeous tits pressed up against my chest. I bet you’ll like it when I take your nipple between my teeth and tug hard, too.
Sent. Delivered. Read.
Ford: I came so hard…so fucking hard. But I wish it had been inside of you.
Sent. Delivered. Read.
Ford: Tell me, Val. Did you touch yourself when I left? Did you think of me? Did you use your hand? God, what I wouldn’t give to suck on those fingers after they’ve been inside you.
Sent. Delivered. Read.
Ford: That’s okay. You can tell me about it another time. I have something I need to take care of now, too. Again. So sweet dreams, my Valentina. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.
***
I’d hoped to see her before I left. But when I got up at six thirty, her car was already gone. I waited until almost eight, but when she still hadn’t come back, I had to get on the road. The meeting I blew off yesterday when Bella mentioned she’d left Val at the art exhibit with some guy had been rescheduled for eleven today, and I couldn’t screw this guy again. So I finished my coffee and headed out.
Though I only got about two miles before I came upon a roadside stand that sold fruit, vegetables, and fresh flowers. Sometimes my Dad and I would drive out to Montauk a day later than my mom, and he’d always stop and pick up flowers at this place. I’d passed it a half-dozen times over the last two weeks and never thought to stop.
I pulled over to the side of the road and picked out an oversized bundle of wildflowers with giant sunflowers and then drove back to the house. Valentina’s car was still missing, so I left them on the mat at her front door and stepped on the gas to get to my meeting.
A few hours later, I sat in the lobby of an office, waiting for my eleven o’clock meeting to start, and I decided to send her another text.
Ford: Morning, beautiful. Hope you slept well. You were up and out early this morning. I’d been hoping to catch you before I left for the city, so we could talk.
I stopped before hitting send and smiled, deciding to add more.
Ford: Or make out some more.
After a few seconds, the text changed to Read. I got pumped when the dots started to jump around. But then they stopped. A minute later they started again. Then stopped again.
Stop overthinking things, Valentina.
No return text had arrived by late afternoon, so I assumed this was how it was going to be until I could get to her in person. Unfortunately, that wasn’t going to be today. I needed to go into the office and do a few things after my meeting. And traffic on Friday night would be a bitch since it was the first official weekend of summer.
But I wanted to know if Val had taken off—maybe gone home to New Jersey to avoid me. I hadn’t checked in with my sister all day, so I hit speakerphone and told Siri to call Bella.
“Hey. What’s going on?”
“You don’t have to call me just because I haven’t seen you today.”
I pictured Annabella’s eyes rolling.
“Just checking in. I wasn’t sure if you knew I wasn’t going to get back out east tonight.”
“Oh good. Let me plan a party. I’ll make sure to put it on Instagram so a few hundred strangers crash it.”
“Cute.”
“I’m fine, Ford. And Nina’s here for the weekend, and I have Val.”
“Is Val around? Her car was gone when I left this morning.”
“Yep. We’re planting flowers in her deck boxes for her party this weekend right now.”
“Party?”
“She’s having a barbecue with her friends.”
I’d forgotten she’d mentioned her best friend was coming out for a long weekend.
“Oh yeah. Alright, good.”
“So…since Nina’s here and Val has company this weekend, you really don’t need to come back out. I’ll be fine.”
I knew she was right. Even though I hadn’t wanted her out in Montauk by herself when we’d first talked about it, spending time out there made me feel a lot better about it. She could stay on her own for a weekend. Though…I had a party to crash on this particular one.
