The Ladies Man

“Tokyo! Killer!” I yelled as I walked into Ashley’s house. They both came running and started barking around my ankles. I knelt down and started giving them attention.
“Hi Belle.” I looked up to see Ashley standing at the end of the hall with his arms crossed.
“Hi.”
“I see the dogs get more affection than I do.” He said jokingly.
I played along. “Of course they do, they’re ten times cuter.”
“Now I’m hurt.”
I laughed and walked over to him. “Sorry, you’re just as cute as Tokyo and Killer.”
“That’s better. I would prefer handsome, but cute works too.” He pulled me into his arms and kissed me.
“So, what’s for dinner?” I asked.
“Glazed chicken and potatoes with broccoli.” He replied.
“Sounds good.” I walked into the kitchen and started to set the table.
He served up our dinner and joined me at the table.
“It’s delicious.” I said.
“Thank you.”
“Do you know what I realized yesterday?” I asked.
“What?”
“Next week is Halloween.” I said.
“I should hope so. They’ve been selling candy for weeks.” Ashley chuckled.
“Halloween also happens to be two months from the day we started dating.”
“That’s interesting.” After a moment of thought he asked. “Did you want to do anything special or..?”
“Not especially. I just thought since it was Halloween we could stay in and watch some scary movies.”
“What were you thinking of?” He asked.
“Maybe an old Dracula film and Nightmare on Elm Street.”
“All right then.”
We finished up our dinner and then went into his living room to watch a movie. While Ashley was getting settled I went and put in The Maltese Falcon. As soon as Sam Spade came on the screen I was instantly smiling. I cuddled into Ashley as we watched the movie. Soon the movie was over and I looked to Ashley to get his opinion.
“That was really cool. Lots of twists, I can’t believe how double and triple sided most of the characters were.” He said. “That Humphrey Bogart guy is really cool.”
“That was kind of what he was known for. Men wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him.” I said with a smile.
“Do you?”
“What?”
Want to be with him?”
“Ashley, he’s been dead for more than fifty years.”
“If he wasn’t though.”
“In that case, yes I would.” I answered.
“He’s like twice your age!” He said shocked.
“He was 25 years older than his wife.” I shrugged.
“I can’t believe this. I’m competing with a dead guy for your affection.” He said in an exasperated tone.
“Don’t forget your dogs.” I commented.
“Right, how could I forget them?”
I laughed as I kissed him. He pulled me close and pushed me back onto the couch. Them he held himself over me and kissed me passionately. His hands traveled down my body and caressed my sides. I slipped my hands under his shirt and pulled it over his head. Then he started kissing down my neck and found my sweet spot.
“Ashley…” God this felt so good.
“Belle, you are so beautiful.”
He pulled off my shirt and started kneading my breast through my bra. I arched into him. He kissed his way back up to my mouth and licked my lower lip. I allowed him entrance and our tongues battled. Eventually he won and after a minute or two pulled away so that we could both breathe.
“We should stop now.” I said.
“Why?” He smiled as he tried to kiss me again.
“That’s why.” I nudged his hard on with my leg.
He blushed. “Right.” He climbed off me and handed me my shirt.
“I should take you home now I guess.” He said with a yawn.
I looked at the clock, it was about 11pm. Ashley was tired, I was tired, I didn’t see the point in us driving back to my place. It would take close to half an hour and then he would have to drive back here. “No, I’m staying here.”
“What?” He looked shocked. I had never stayed over at his place before.
“It’s late, you’re tired. If we go out now you might fall asleep at the wheel and kill yourself.”
“Are you sure?” He asked.
“Yes, now you head upstairs, I’m just gonna call Madison so that she can go to sleep.” I replied.
“She still waits up for you?” He sounded surprised.
“Oh yeah.” I rolled my eyes and smiled. I pulled out my phone and called Madison.
“Hello? Belle, where are you?”
“Staying over at Ashley’s. Now go to bed.”
“OH MY GOD!” She screamed into the phone. I had to hold it away from my ear for a few seconds.
“Calm down. We’re not having sex!” I said.
“AWW! DAMN!” She yelled.
“Good night Madison.” I hung up the phone and went upstairs to find Ashley. I was laughing the whole way to Ashley’s room.
“What’s so funny?” He asked.
“I told her I wasn’t coming home tonight.” I left that open for him to piece together.
“She thought we were going to have sex.” He guessed.
“Yup. She was very upset when I told her that wouldn’t be happening.”
He chuckled. “How long has she been waiting for us to have sex?” He asked.
“Since the second time we met. You remember, the first time you walked me home and I said she gave me some images I never needed?”
He nodded. “I thought you meant me.”
“That’s not completely wrong. When I told her that you were walking me home, she made some insinuations as to the state of the furniture when she got home.”
“Really?”
“Yup.”
“Before I forget.” He turned to the bed and picked up a t-shirt and sweat pants. “I thought you might want something more comfortable than jeans to sleep in.”
“Thanks.” I took the clothes from him.
“I’ll turn around if you want.”
“Sure. Thank you.” He turned to face the opposite wall and I quickly changed into his clothes. They were a little big on me, but they were comfy. “You can turn around now.” I said.
“Come on, we should get some sleep.” He climbed into the bed and waited for me, holding back the sheets.
I slipped in beside him and cuddled up to his bare chest. “Night Ashley.”
“Good night Belle.” He kissed the top of my head and I fell asleep almost instantly.

The next morning, the light coming through the window woke me up. I rolled over into something hard. That’s when I remembered that I had stayed over at Ashley’s for the night. I looked up at his face as he slept. He really was too pretty. It was moments like this when I wondered what he was doing with me, when he could have any girl he wanted. I kissed him gently on the lips.
“Wake up Ashley.” I said.
“Do I have to?” He asked in a whiny voice.
“Yes, you need to take me home.”
“Can’t you stay here?” He asked.
“No. Now come on.” I climbed out of bed and went downstairs for some breakfast. I grabbed some cereal and was sitting at the table eating by the time he walked into the kitchen.
“Let me just get something to eat, then I’ll drive you home.” He said as he walked over to the fridge.
“Sounds good to me.”
After we finished breakfast, I realized that the only clothes I had were the dirty ones from yesterday. After thinking about it for a moment I decided I would just steal Ashley’s clothes.
“You ready to leave Ashley?” I yelled. I was waiting by the front door.
He came down the stairs and just stared at me.
“What?”
“Aren’t you going to get dressed?” He asked.
I looked down at what I was wearing. The shirt and sweat pants he gave me last night. “I am dressed. I’m stealing your clothes.”
“Will I get them back?” He asked as we walked to the car.
“Nope.” I said with a gleeful smile.
