Second Chances

Playing pretend

On a cool Saturday afternoon, Alanna finds herself walking the same streets that she walked the night she met Jack. This time the streets were decorated with flowers. The cool air caressed Alanna’s face, lifting her hair behind her as she walked. Her long white dress pushed against her, revealing her figure. Children played outside, people walked their dogs, and mothers pushed strollers.

Alanna walked around with a big smile holding on to Matthew's hand. Matthew had a room in a hotel close to the one Alanna stayed the weekend when she met Jack. He was there for an architects' convention for a week.

Alanna and Matthew had been seeing each other for a few months already. They took the relationship slowly. Matthew was away on a business trip most of this time and Alanna was busy getting things ready at the new daycare, but they talked every day. This trip was the first time that they were together for a long time. They had the whole weekend to themselves. Alanna didn’t have any funeral services, so she left Carol in charge for the weekend in case something came up. Matthew had just finished with the project that kept him away. They left their phones in their cars and were ready for two days of no distractions. Alanna was finally ready to move forward with Matthew.

Alanna wasn’t planning to spend this weekend with Matthew but the night before they had a phone conversation which led to them being there. Matthew called Alanna late at night after Alanna was already sleeping. He had come back to his hotel room after having some drinks with some friends. Mathew asked her to video chat with him. He needed to see her face. When they were video chatting, Alanna stretched her arms and one of her breasts was exposed. She laughs and covers herself. Matthew was left with the need to see more of her. Matthew asked Alanna to show him what she was wearing. Alanna uncovers her blanket and moves her phone down her body.

Alanna was wearing a black silk spaghetti strap shirt with nothing under it. She loved the feel of silk on her naked body. Then Alanna asked Matthew to show her what he was wearing. Matthew did as she asked. Alanna saw his naked, built chest. Then he moved down his well-defined sixpack to his gray boxer briefs. He giggled embarrassed and said, “I’m sorry that this view is not as sexy as what I just saw.” Alanna smiled and bit her lip, saying, “I would love to kiss that chest down to those sexy boxer briefs.” Matthew became aroused. He kept the camera in his boxer briefs and slid his hand inside. Alanna exclaimed, “MMM!” Matthew moved his camera back up to his face but kept his hand inside, softly caressing himself as he watched Alanna pull down one of her straps holding on to the gown, uncovering her breast slowly. Matthew began to breathe heavily and said, “You are killing me here” as he slowly massaged himself. Alanna then moved the camera down between her legs and rubbed the gown up her legs until she found her wetness. She opened her legs and rubbed herself with the gown. Alanna moaned as the gown moved out of the way and gave Mathew a clear view of Alanna’s fingers flicking and rubbing up and down. Matthew grunted and said, “Oh Alanna, when am I going to taste you again?” Alanna responded, breathing heavily, “soon I hope.” Then she slid a finger inside slowly. She pushed it in and out slowly and Matthew began to stroke himself faster. He moaned as he saw Alanna sliding another finger in. Matthew asks Alanna, “Please show me your face.,” breathing heavily. Alanna took her fingers out, propped the phone in from of her, and sat up. She rubbed her gown up, caressing her body as she pulled it off. She sat naked with her legs open in front of the camera. Matthew grunts. Then he stood up, placed his phone against a lamp on a table in front of him. He pulled on his boxer briefs, exposing himself in front of his phone. Alanna sees his freshly shaved hardness for the first time. Matthew whapped his hand around it, with his fingertips reaching for each other, barely touching. She is impressed with how massive he is. Alanna imagined it forcing its way inside of her and rubbing herself. Alanna moaned as she introduced her two fingers back inside of herself. With her other hand, she pinched and caressed her breast. Matthew moans as he drips on the hotel floor stroking himself, standing in front of his phone. Alanna flicks faster and moans. Alanna moans and leans her head back with her eyes closed. Matthew whispers, “Oh yes baby, yes!” Alanna smiles and moans louder. Matthew grunts and moves his other hand, catching his eruption. Matthew grabbed his phone and plunged onto his bed breathing heavily. He watched Alanna flick herself faster. Her toes began to stretch and she sighed loudly. Breathing heavily, Alanna turned around, lay on her stomach and smiled, blushing. Matthew looked at her with loving eyes, took a deep breath, and said, “you are so beautiful.” Alanna grabbed her shoulder and laid her chin on her forearm.

Matthew made his way to the bed and laid down. He then told Alanna, “come here and stay the weekend with me.” Alanna grabbed the phone and turned around covering herself with a blanket. Matthew saw her becoming serious, so he was going to apologize when Alanna smiled and said, “Okay, let me take care of something and I’ll meet you tomorrow. Alanna blew him a kiss and said good night.

Today she talked to Carol, packed a bag, and was on her way to Matthew before noon. Matthew woke up early and upgraded his room. Then he ordered some flowers and champagne. He wanted to make that night special. Matthew had planned to take Alanna for a walk in the city rather than to a romantic dinner. He wanted to take her to his room and make love to her for the rest of the weekend. He had waited so long to have her. He has been craving her since he savagely attacked her, the day they met. He didn’t want to scare her away again, so he planned to take things slowly and control his desire to rip her close off and devour her.

Finally, there they were walking to the restaurant that a friend of Matthew recommended. Matthew held Alanna’s hand and walked next to her, staring at her. Looking at her hair flow and holding himself back from taking her to the hotel and skipping dinner. They walked to a park and came to a bench close to the water. They decided to sit and watch the sunset. Matthew sat and pulled Alanna to him. Matthew spread his legs and Alanna sat on one of his legs. He wrapped his hands around her and Alanna leaned against his shoulder. The sky became orange and the sun reflected on the lake. Alanna looked up at Matthew's face. Matthew grabbed her face and kissed her. Alanna wrapped her hands around him.

Matthew's excitement didn’t take long to poke Alanna’s leg. She could feel his pants pulsing with desire. Matthew kissed Alanna down her neck. Then he whispered, “I can’t wait to eat you.” Alanna closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then she stood up and grabbed his hand. “Let’s go before we forget where we are,” Alanna said, smiling. Matthew fixed his pants and stood up. She held his hand and walked with him.

Matthew guided Alanna to the same hotel where she met Jack. The same doorman opens the door for them. He had cut his hair, so his face wasn’t greasy anymore. He looked older and more mature. His friendly smile was replaced with a dry, serious face. Alanna wondered what had happened to the happy young man. They walk into the building and Alanna gets goosebumps walking past the elevator. She rubs her arms and Matthew wraps his arm around her. They make it to the restaurant, and she sees the bar. She has a flashback of Jack sitting at the bar looking at her with his sky-blue eyes. The eyes she has spent months wishing to forget. The eyes of the man that had left her building walls around her heart. The man that took her common sense and peace away.

Alanna looks at Matthew and takes a deep breath. She then thinks of how lucky she was to have found such a nice guy. He was a gentleman. Matthew looks at her and interrupts her thoughts, grabbing her back and guiding her behind the hostess. They arrived at their table. It was two tables away from the table Jack was sitting waiting for his date that night. Alanna looks at Matthew and tells herself to stop thinking about Jack and concentrate on Matthew. After all, Jack was just a bad memory. The love that she once had for Jack was replaced by hate after seeing him going back to Susan, as nothing happened between them. She had come to terms with the fact that he was a liar and didn’t deserve her tears.

Matthew looks at the menu and tells Alanna, “You know what I want?” Alanna smiled and asked, “Do you want all the dessert?” Matthew covered his face with the menu. Alanna stood and leaned over the table. She pulls the menu down and pulls Matthew close by his shirt. They met in the middle of the table. Alanna kissed him passionately and said, “If that is what my king wants, then that is all we are having today.” They ordered every dessert and a bottle of champagne. Matthew moved next to Alanna. She feeds him and kisses him. Matthew slid his hand up her leg and rubbed her. Matthew kissed her to drown her moans and Alanna struggled to keep her composure. Matthew bites her ear loop and whispers, “I want you right now.” Alanna kissed him passionately. Matthew called the waiter and asked for the bill. He kisses Alanna and leaves for the bathroom. He wanted to wash his hands so he could get his wallet out of his pants. Alanna grabs the leftover champagne and pours it into her cup.

In a little bit, she sees Matthew coming back with his shirt out of his pants, his hair a mess, and a worried face. He gets to Alanna, grabs her face, kisses her and says, “I’m sorry.” He grabbed the bill. Alanna sees that his knuckles are bleeding. She went to grab his hand, but he rushed away. He takes the bill to the front of the restaurant and pays. Then he leaves without looking back. Alanna watched him walk away, wondering what had happened.

Then a familiar gentle voice asks, “excuse me, can I join you?” She recognizes that voice and her body trembles. Alanna turned to look at the man, as he came around the table. The man stood in front of her. She stares at his beautiful eyes and bright smile quietly. Then he extended his hand towards her with a smile, “Hi, my name is John.” Alanna’s eyes teared up.
