The Eternity that Follows (9 page)

“Forever?”
Joey asked, gazing into her eyes as Gabriella felt his
soul and sins meet hers.
“Forever Joey”
“For eternity, Gabriella!” Joey said. Gabriella nodded as Joey
came with pleasure. Joey fell down on the bed, and opened his
arms and chest for Gabriella to get close to him. Gabriella was
apprehensive at first.
“Joey, how many girls have you been with?” Gabriella asked,
again. She really wanted an answer.
“Twenty-eight.” Joey said, half confident, he just wanted to be
honest.
“Twenty-eight or twenty-nine?” Gabriella asked, keeping the
disappointment out of her voice as she wondered if she was
counted in his math or not.
“Oh, well I guess it’s now twenty-nine.”
“At least you kept count.” .
“At least I’ll never hit thirty"
“Oh you’re that wishful.”
“I told you for forever Gabriella. I meant that.”
“Did you?”
“You’re stuck Gabriella. I love you!” Joey said, feeling the blood
disappear from the veins in his arms, causing him to become weak.
“Stuck?”
“Yes my dear, you’re stuck. Gabriella, I may have had my time
sleeping around with girls, but I haven’t been like that my whole
life. I lost my virginity to a girlfriend I had when I was seventeen,
when I wasn’t exactly ready. I wanted to save myself for my
dream girl. I really did, but you didn’t walk into my life until now.
I gave up hope along time ago of ever meeting a girl like you. I
never felt I would be capable of loving a girl. I had a few serious
relationships, some ending in my own heartbreak but I have gone
years without sleeping with a girl in the past. Now that I met you,
if something ever happens to you, I’d go my whole life without
ever touching another girl. I want you to know that.” Joey said,
while tears filled up in his eyes again.
Gabriella couldn’t believe the words that had just come out
of Joey’s mouth. He delivered on what she wanted in her dream
man, a faithful romance that would last an eternity. He also fit the
part, he was so handsome. Gabriella was now more comfortable
after hearing his confession about having gone a few years without
sex. She figured he was also a few years older than she was, and
she also had a time period in her past where she slept around. She
put together, his relationships hadn’t lasted as long as hers and
Marks had. She began to think, her and Mark’s relationship,
lasting as long as it did, would be a soft spot for Joey as well,
considering how possessive he had already shown himself to be.
Gabriella, still thinking, if she hadn’t gotten pregnant, her
sexual escapes may not have ended, and her sexual number may
have been just as high. Then thinking of all her guy friends, and
how their sexual numbers were even higher in comparison,
Gabriella grew fond of Joey’s sexual past. Gabriella was lost in
thought as Joey brought her back down to earth.
“Gabriella?”
“Oh sorry I was thinking.
I do that sometimes, I get lost in space.”
“I do that too, a lot actually. What were you thinking about?”
“Just how perfect you are for me.”
“Oh really?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, I told you not only how many girls, I’ve been with but also
how old I was when I lost my virginity. It’s your turn now.” Joey
said, giving her hand a light kiss showing her, her answer didn’t
matter.
“I was Seventeen on our one year anniversary. I stayed with the
guy for four more years. Seven, well eight all together. I had my
slut experience, and I got pregnant, had an abortion and have been
waiting for the right man ever since.” Gabriella said, summing up
her sexual past as quickly as she could, while her words came out
natural.
“And that’s me?” Joey asked, not really caring about her sexual
past, but more concerned that she had been waiting for the right
man.
“Yes Joey, that’s you.” She said, then kissing his check.
“Oh yeah?”
“Oh yeah”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” Gabriella said, sure she truly did love him. “Can
you bring me home now?”
“Why so?”
“I just want my parents to like you, and spending the night with
you isn’t a good way to start.”
“I guess I can.”
Joey reluctantly got dressed as sadness washed over him.
He fretted Gabriella didn’t feel the same way about him. He
wanted to spend his life with her from this day forward, but she
had asked to go home. He wondered if her reasoning was true,
hopping it were. He drove her home at her request, and gave her a
sweet, enduring kiss goodnight. Gabriella smiled plainly at him as
they exchanged phone numbers. Gabriella went inside and feel
straight to sleep with happy and warm thoughts. Joey found
Gabriella’s kiss to be affirming, feeling in his heart, she felt the
same for him. He feel asleep with dreams of seeing her again.

Chapter Seven

The next morning, Joey didn’t bother calling, he rang on
Gabriella’s door step at eleven in the morning, he was dying to see
her. No one was home but Gabriella. Her parents had gone out for
brunch with a few of their friends, and her sister Mary had spent
the night at her boyfriend, Frank’s house. Gabriella was in bed
when she heard the doorbell ring. She didn’t know no one was
home, and figured someone else would answer the door. The
doorbell rang again, and then so did her phone. She looked at her
phone and saw that it was Joey.
“Tell me your not outside.” Gabriella said, answering the phone.
“And if I am?”
“You’re crazy.”
“Won’t you let me in?”

Gabriella was already on her way to the door, and huffed
while she hung up the phone. She opened the door just a few
moments later, and Joey gave her a kiss on the lips, grabbing her
into his arms for a huge hug.
“I missed you.” He said.
“Joey, I saw you just a few hours ago.” Gabriella said, pushing out
of the hug.
“I know, but I couldn’t wait to see you. Are your parents home? I
want to meet them?” Joey said. Gabriella realized he was
something else.
“Joey are you on drugs?”
“No, well, not right now anyway.”
“I don’t think their home.” Gabriella said, looking outside for their
car. “Nope they’re gone.”
“Gone? Oh yeah?” Joey said with an, ‘I want it’ look in his eyes.
Gabriella couldn’t refuse him, he was looking so hot, and was
being so sweet.
“You’re a bad boy.” Gabriella said, in a sexy tone.
“And you look cute in your pajamas. Can I get you out of them?”

With that, Gabriella took Joey’s hand and led him upstairs
to her bedroom. Gabriella’s room was quite large and was painted
hot pink. Joey thought her room suited her nicely.

Gabriella lifted up her tank top, throwing it to the floor,
exposing her bare breasts to Joey’s eyes. He responded by
grabbing them, he couldn’t help himself. Gabriella took Joey’s
shirt off, and ran her fingers through his hair, beginning to kiss
him. Joey started to un do his belt buckle, and had his pants off
within moments.
“I love you Gabriella.” Joey said, sliding down Gabriella’s panties
and then taking off his boxers.
“I love you too.”

They proceed on to make selfless love, and when they were
finished, they laid under Gabriella’s covers naked holding each
other. They were laying on their sides with their arms and legs
wrapped around each other. They stared into each others eyes for a
long time. Joey began to tickle Gabriella’s back.
“I like that.”
“Well lay on your tummy ” Joey said, never before being so
attentive to a woman.

Gabriella laid on her stomach and Joey tickled her back for
ten minutes laying besides her. “Okay my turn.” Joey said, when
he was through and turned to lie on his stomach.

Gabriella sat on Joey’s butt, and gave him a back massage.
He hadn’t had one in a long time, with the stress of work, the labor,
and hard work he put in, he enjoyed it very much. Gabriella was
attentive to his needs, and Joey wondered how she knew where to
kneed just the moment after he had the desire for the spot to be
touched. When Gabriella was finished, she put her clothes back
on. Joey stayed naked in her bed.
“Who are you texting?” Joey asked.
“Just Sara, I want to see if we‘re still going to the club tonight, and
I haven‘t spoken to her since last Saturday night.”
“Oh, last Saturday night, right. I can’t go back there for a couple
of months you know.”
“Oh well that’s what you get.” Gabriella teased. “Hey do you want
to come to the club with us tonight?”
“I want to spend tonight with you yes. So if your going to the club
then that’s where I’ll be.”
“You don’t mind going? I’ll dance sexy for you.”
“Oh I’m definitely in. Do you’re friends know about us yet?”
“No, I haven’t spoken to them yet. In fact, I’ll update my
Facebook status that your here now.”
“I’d appreciate that.”
“Are you on facebook?“
“I’m not.“
“And why not?“
“I haven’t had a reason to be on facebook.”
“Oh, I see.”
“What club tonight?”
“Club Temptation, have you been there before?”
“Yeah, it’s a good club.”
“Jemma’s mad at me.” Gabriella said, looking at her phone.
“What do you mean?”
“Well I told Sarah I went to a party with you last night, that we
hooked up, and that you’re here now, and she told Jemma, and
Jemma just sent me a message saying, I can’t believe you.”
“Hooked up? Aren’t we a little more then that?”
“Are we?”
“I’d like to be your boyfriend.”
“Yeah?”
“Yes, very much so.” Joey said, getting out of bed and giving
Gabriella a kiss before he started to get dressed.
“I’d like that too.”
“I was hoping you would. Don’t worry about Jemma being mad at
you ,she’s probably just jealous that I turned her down for sex last
summer.”
“You didn’t?”
“I did. She broke Gavin’s heart and I wasn’t interested in her.
She’s not my type.”
“That explains why she was so against me liking you.”
“Guess so.”
“Well, I asked her to give you a chance, and she just responded she
would, so hopefully everything will be all right tonight at the
club.”
“And if it’s not?” Joey asked, bringing Gabriella into his arms.
“I guess it’ll be her problem, I’m happy with you so far.”
“And I’ll continue to make you happy, I promise.”
“Good, I’m going to go take a shower.”
“I’ll be waiting.” Joey said, then giving her a kiss before she left
him for the bathroom off of her bedroom.

While Gabriella was in the shower, Joey got reacquainted
with the computer, and made himself a Facebook account. When
Gabriella got out of the shower, Joey sat on her bed and watched
with excitement as she rubbed lotion over her body. He stood to
help her, massaging lotion into her back. He wasn’t able to keep
his hands off of her, he realized he hadn’t been able to since they
first introduced themselves at the party.
“You have to go on Facebook and accept my friend request.” Joey
informed Gabriella, after she was all dressed. Her hair was wet,
and she had no make up on. Joey couldn’t help but grin over the
beauty he had landed himself.
“Oh you made an account?”
“Of course I did. I need one to keep tabs on you.”
“You don’t trust me?”
“Do you trust me?”
“I think I do.”
“Okay then, I’ll trust you.”
“Joey, I never want to be cheated on. It’s happened to me before
and it hurts. I won’t tolerate it either, if you do, it’ll be over
between us.”
“I’d never cheat Gabriella. I’ve been faithful to all of my
girlfriends in the past, I was the one that always got cheated on.”
Joey proclaimed, making Gabriella feel he was the sweetest man
ever.
“We’ll, I won’t ever do that to you I promise.” Gabriella said,
while she brushed her hand along his check, then giving him a kiss
on the lips.
“Well good. I promise too.” Joey said, as he and Gabriella looked
into each other’s eyes.
“Forever?” Gabriella asked.
“Forever.” Joey replied.
“And for the eternity that follows?” .
“And for the eternity that follows.”
“Do you believe in eternity Joey?”
“I do now.” Joey said, taking her into his arms, and kissing her a
vow of eternity.

Gabriella accepted Joey’s request on Facebook, and sent
him a request to confirm they were in a relationship together.
After, Gabriella took him down into the kitchen to make them
something to eat. When Gabriella’s parents came home, she
introduced her new boyfriend to them. Gabriella could tell her
father took a liking to him, as he was a perfect gentleman in their
presence. She knew her mother approved after she told Gabriella
on the side, he was a very handsome man, and that she had done
well. Gabriella blushed thinking how corny and old fashioned of
her mother that was to say.

Gabriella and Joey spent the day hanging around
Gabriella’s house, flirting and play fighting most of the day away.
They shared philosophies they both had about life, and the after
life. They raised debates over love, religion and science. They
watched a movie while cuddling tightly. They had both confessed
to being big on cuddling, both claiming they could do that any
nothing else for an entire day. Joey ate dinner with her family, and
by the end of the day, they both felt something they never felt
before with someone else, they felt love.

Gabriella and Joey left Gabriella’s house shortly after
dinner. They stopped off at the convince store so Joey could fill
his gas tank. While inside, Joey grabbed a long pink rose from the
bucket of fresh flowers by the register. He was humming inside
his head as he left the store. Joey then opened Gabriella’s car door,
and simply handed her the rose. Gabriella said,
“Aww,” and went to say thank you, but Joey had already left
around the backside of his car, to pump the gas. Gabriella stepped
outside of the car and joined him. With the gas hose between them
Gabriella spoke.
“Joey, you didn’t have to.” Gabriella said, smiling.
“I wanted to.” Joey smiled back, while Gabriella’s eyes lit up to
his words.
“Thank you baby.” She said, looking down at her feet as if she
were five years old.

Gabriella’s eyes returned to Joey’s, realizing the sight of
her eyes had made his light up too. Joey didn’t say your welcome,
instead he leaned over the hose that stood between them, and gave
her a sweet kiss on the lips. Gabriella responded with her tongue
slipping into Joey’s mouth for only a quick moment, meeting his,
and then kissing his lips to end it.
