The Perfect Gentleman

One Risqué Story

Luna

Its been two weeks since I called and texted Samael, I even left him two voicemails and no response. I would have called some more but Macy took my phone and deleted the number. She said there was no way she was gonna to let me come off as desperate. I’d still been holding out hope, I mean he could have just been busy, or something could have happened but Macy shut that down and she’s right I should just chalk it up to a one night stand an amazing one but nevertheless it’s time to move on. Ive officially been ghosted.

I was so happy when I came home that morning it was as if nothing could bring me down, not even my mother and her millions of questions about where I’ve been. I had the craziest smile all that day and couldn’t stop dancing and humming to myself. Macy said I had to wait at least a day before I called or texted and those were the longest 24 hours of my life. I tried to stay busy, Micah and I went to the park that morning, we stopped at our favorite cafe for lunch and then we baked cookies with my mom that evening. After a movie and our bedtime routine I put Micah to bed grabbed me a glass of wine and chatted with my mom for the rest of the night.

The following morning I was woken up by my beautiful boy crawling over me into my bed. ‘Good morning darling’ I kiss him on top on his brown curls. His little face is just the cutest in the world, he is just the perfect mix of me and his dad. He’s got my golden brown coloring and hair and his dads eyes and elf-ish ears.

‘Morning Mommy, I’m hungry let’s go get breakfast!’ Micah greets me.

‘Did you brush your teeth already young man?’ I ask him. From his look and groan I can tell that he hasn’t, my little rascal. ‘Go brush your teeth now and I’ll meet you in the kitchen’.

When we get down to the kitchen Mom has a full spread on the table already and we all dig in. After breakfast Mom is taking Micah out back to ride his bike so I slip upstairs with my phone. Time is finally up I can text now.

I held my breath for a whole two minutes as I waited for a response. After fifteen minutes of watching my phone and waiting for a response I decided to call instead, I’d rather hear his deep seductive voice anyways, I can already feel the goosebumps just thinking about it. Ring ring… once… twice … … voicemail. Ok no problem ‘Hi Samael, this is Luna I hope it’s not bad time, you can give me a call back when you have some time’ and I leave my number.

I day passes by pretty uneventfully, Micah has a friend from the neighborhood over playing right now and mom and I are in the living room watching tv and them while I’m constantly checking my phone. I’m trying not to be too obvious about it, still trying to avoid Mom’s questioning, she’s recently joined in with nagging me about dating. We decide to order pizza for dinner and shortly after we ate Tyler’s mom comes to pick him up. I get up to tidy up the dishes and my mom calls Micah for bed.

‘Goodnight my darling!, sweet dreams ok’ I kiss his forehead and hug him close, I’m going to miss him soo much when he leaves.

I head up to bed and decide to call one more time but after getting his voicemail again and seeing my four texts still unread. I gave up on getting a response that night, I went to sleep thinking I’m sure I’ll hear from him tomorrow. I could tell Samael was a busy man and I could definitely be patient.

It’s been two weeks now, two whole weeks and I still can’t stop thinking about Samael and our one night together. I was so sure he was gonna return my calls or texts but I think I’ve been patient enough. It’s time to chalk that up to an amazing one night stand and move forward. It’ll be one risqué story I have to tell the grands later, I can’t help the smile that escapes. It may be my only good story.

It was already after eleven pm so I decided to go to bed. My mom has been getting Micah ready for school since she’s been here so at least Ive been able to sleep in a little in the mornings. Tomorrow Micah was leaving with my mom to spend the summer with his dad in our hometown so I’ve got to be up early again but then I’ll have to rest of the day to myself. First time in a very long time. It’s still going to be the summer of Luna, I just need to embrace life a little and see what happens.
