will unload the other items Miss.”

 

She said, “ okay” as she took the box, he turned and went to his truck. Celeste stood there watching him walk away, and got shivers up her spine. Celeste had forgotten all about the pact she made with her heart, she wanted to get to know this guy.

 

Celeste watched him unload the plants, just then he looked up and she was embarrassed that he found her watching. Celeste turned quickly and walked into her kitchen with the box. Her cheeks were so red, and she said to herself, “ Damn it!”

 

She started putting her groceries away, and remembered that the name tag on his shirt said 'Roy.' She whispered to herself ' damn he is one fine looking guy'.

 

Celeste hadn't noticed he walked back to her door, until she heard him speak,

“ Excuse me, Miss Marsh, where do you want these items placed?”

 

She turned, and replied, “ Oh, just set them next to the porch, Roy.”

 

He replied, laughing, “ It's John, Johnnie, Miss. This isn't my shirt....... well, it's my shirt- it just has the wrong name on it.” Johnnie turned to walk back to his truck and start unloading. Celeste stood watching him for a few minutes, she saw his long lean body pick up the items with ease. She caught her breath as she watched him, 'oh he is so fine', she thought. As he began to turn around, she quickly went to clean the kitchen.

 

Celeste stood in front of the sink, and began thinking to herself,' no, no, no, I will not fall for another guy. Not without finding out more about him first.' She was not going to go through another episode like she did with Tim. Thinking about him still hurt, but she was more angry at the deception from him.

 

Just then she heard “ Excuse me, Miss I'm done.”

 

As Celeste turned, she felt this lump in her throat, but managed to say, “ Thank You, Johnnie!”

 

Johnnie looked at Celeste, then said, “ Your Welcome Miss Marsh. Have a nice day planting. I got other deliveries to tend to, bye.”

 

“Bye,” Celeste said as she watched him walk back to his truck. Celeste thought to herself, ' he sure seems like a nice guy.' It wasn't until Chelsea rubbed her leg that she snapped out of the daze she was in. Celeste smiled and bent down to pick up Chelsea. She began saying,” I know Chelsea I don't need anyone, I have you!” as she hugged her. She took Chelsea with her to the bedroom, and set her on her bed. She change into her gardening clothes, and hat then went to the pantry to get her tools.

 

She heard Chelsea meowing, as she headed for the door to go outside. “ I will feed you when I get done with some of my planting,” Celeste said. She spent a few hours outside planting the flowers, but her mind seemed to wander back to that guy Johnnie. And the more Celeste thought about him she knew he was someone she wanted to get to know.

 

Then as it was getting dark, she decided it was time to quit. As Celeste went in she heard Chelsea meowing, and suddenly she remembered that she hadn't fed her yet. She went to the kitchen refilled the cat's bowl, and went to get cleaned up. Then she went to prepare and eat dinner, then go to bed.

 

Weeks went by before Celeste saw Johnnie again. While having lunch in the Café, she looked up from her plate, and he walked by Celeste smiled. She could feel something stirring inside her. No matter how hard she tried to push them away she kept telling herself- they must get to know each other first. But the more she thought of Johnnie the more she smiled.

 

Celeste decided that the next time she saw Johnnie she would ask him if he would like to have a cup of coffee with her. As she was leaving the Café he was walking out of the store, so she bravely walked up to him and asked. He said yes, he would love to have a coffee with her. So they planned to have coffee in the next few days.

 

Celeste was nervous and excited about being with Johnnie. She wanted to learn as much as she could about him, at least before anything else went on. She was eager to learn what she could about him!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 2

 

                                                            Something Is Wrong

 

 

Celeste took every opportunity to see Johnnie. She even took to ordering things from the store, just so he would deliver them to her house. Seeing him was proving far more difficult that she expected. Even though he was always happy to see Celeste, he seemed cautious. Although they were not doing anything, just talking.

 

One day while she was shopping, she stopped to say hello. He seemed distracted, and kept looking around.

 

Celeste finally asked, “ Johnnie, what's wrong?”

 

Johnnie looked at her, then whispered, “My wife is in here shopping.”

 

Celeste got a shocked look on her face.

 

“ Oh, you're married?” she said stunned.

 

“Yeah, sorry Celeste I was going to tell you,” Johnnie said apologetically.

 

Celeste quickly said, “ I've got to go!” She turned and hurriedly walked away, as Johnnie got a sad look on his face.

 

She couldn't believe it happened again, she left the store shocked. Celeste hurriedly walked home. As she walked in the door she saw the message button on her phone blinking.

 

Celeste knew it was from Johnnie.......... she was afraid to listen to it. But she walked over, pausing.... to take a deep breath. She closed her eyes and pushed the button.......

 

 

 

She heard his voice as it played, “ Celeste....... Celeste... don't be mad, please don't hate me......... I am beginning to.... to like you. I am going to work late, but before I go home I have to see you. I will be by around 10, please let me talk to you........ Please!”

 

Celeste sat on the couch stunned. It didn't matter that he was married, she was falling in love with him. Celeste looked forward to seeing him, to let him know nothing had changed between them.

 

Her mind was swimming with thoughts of being with Johnnie. She knew tonight would be the night they would take it to the next level. Celeste couldn't wait for him to come over. But it would be hours that she would have to wait. So she made some dinner, then cleaned up the kitchen.

 

Celeste wanted things to work out between them. She decided to put out some candles making it romantic. She got the candles, and set them out in various places. Then went to take a shower and get ready for Johnnie's arrival. She found a sexy red negligee to wear, in hopes that he would like it.

 

She left the bathroom light on, then went to light some of the candles. Not long after she sat down on the couch she saw the headlights of Johnnie's truck. Her heart began to beat faster at the thought of seeing him. She heard a quiet knock on the door, and went to open it. Johnnie looked at her, and began to smile.

 

He stepped in and said, “ Oh Celeste, I'm so sorry about this afternoon. I thought for sure you were mad at me. But now.......... now I see you are the opposite. You look beautiful, I love you so much.” He took Celeste in his arms, then passionately kissed her.

 

“Johnnie- I am falling in love with you too... and I don't care that you're married,” Celeste said as she looked into his eyes. She continued,“I don't want to think about that right now, I just want to feel your arms around me. Show me you love me, Johnnie make love with me.”

                                                   One Romantic Night

 

 

 

After hearing her plea, he knew this was the night, and there was no turning back once it began. Johnnie began kissing Celeste, and moving his hands slowly up and down her body. As he kissed her, she sighed, as they moved toward the couch. She stopped him, and while looking up at his eyes, said “ no, Johnnie.... my room....”

 

She led him down the hall to her room, where he delicately laid her on the bed, and slowly bent down to kiss her lips. She moaned as his mouth began moving down her neck, and down between her breasts. He looked up at her while his hands caressed her, then began kissing her soft supple nipples. They instantly became hard at his touch, Johnnie whispered, “ Celeste, my love, Celeste.”

 

Celeste leaned her head back, moaning again. “ ohhhhhhhh!” She was taken into a different world as Johnnie explored her body. Celeste had longed for someone to treat her so lovingly. As he moved back up to kiss her, she blurted out, “ Oh Johnnie, I love you!”

 

She watched as he began to slowly undress, then climbed on top of her. He knew she was ready for him to enter her, yet he would to take his time. He wanted this magical moment to last as long as he could. Celeste was so sexually stimulated, unlike she had ever been before. She too didn't want this night to end, even though she knew it would. But she didn't want to think about that right now, her mind was on how Johnnie was making her body feel.

 

She had yearned to feel this, feel Johnnie holding her. Even though he didn't have a lot of time, what they did share was wonderful. He not only brought her to a new sexual high, he made her feel more like a woman. He laid there holding her tight once they were done, he could hear her crying.

 

Johnnie pulled her real close, and whispered, “ Don't cry Celeste, I'll try and come over in a few days to be with you again.”

 

“I know Johnnie,” Celeste said as she began crying more.

 

He held her tighter for a few minutes, then said,” Right now I need to get home, I don't need to raise any suspicions, Celeste.”

 

 

 

Johnnie got up, after dressing quickly,he leaned down to kiss Celeste good-bye. He then said, “ I'll let myself out, just stay in bed Celeste- I'll lock the door when I go,” as he wiped the tears off her face. He too hated to leave her, she felt so good in his arms. But he had to get back home to his other woman.

 

Celeste laid there watching Johnnie walk quietly out, tears ran down her face. But she was happy at the same time, even though he was a married man. Celeste knew he was in love with her, and she was definitely in love with him! She would be happy to see Johnnie whenever they could be together. Maybe he would eventually leave his wife, and come be with her...... she hoped!

 

She laid there thinking nothing could be better that this. She found someone she loved- even though it was a forbidden love. Her last words before drifting off was, “ I love you, Johnnie!”
