Tango on the dance floor, Part 4
#4 of Tango on the dance floor
Finally, after a 5-year hiatus, I have managed to complete a new chapter to Tango on the dance floor, I hope that you guys and gals enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it, please remember that any votes, faves and comments are always welcome.
I finally get the all clear to leave the hospital, the only things to show for my visit to the A&E department are cotton balls wedged into my nose pad, a package with some pain meds in it, a white heavily bloodstained shirt, and a gorgeous Doberman partner gently holding onto my arm to offer me some support.
It is about 3 am and the night sky is completely clear of clouds so that we can see the stars, we arrive back at my car and Jason takes the keys from his pocket and unlocks the doors.
"Tango, before you complain about not being able to drive your own car home, you are still a little hyped up on some of the meds that they gave you, I mean you did hit your head quite hard when you went down, whereas all I got was a broken knuckle, sure it hurts like a bitch and I will have to teach my classes with a bandaged paw for a few weeks but trust me, you got the worst end of the deal, and the last thing we need is to either end up in a hedgerow or be pulled up by the cops."
Any thoughts that I had to continue my protest were quickly squashed into oblivion with nothing more coming from my muzzle than a frustrated sigh. I open the passenger door of my car and park my butt in the seat while Jason gets into the driver's seat, being a passenger does have it's advantage though it means that as Jason gets into the car I get a view of his perfectly formed trouser-clad buttocks.
"You just can't help yourself can you Tango, every chance you get your sights are set and their target is my ass, it's a good job that I am now sitting on it or I feel pretty sure that by now your high-powered rifle that resides between your legs would have delivered its deadly load."
I can't help but give a belly laugh at Jason's analogy.
"Come on Jason, give an injured guy something to look forward to, plus it gives me the chance to check that the punch I got didn't shift my sights because re-aligning them would mean more pain for you."
Jason just chuckles and shakes his head as we head back to my place to get some clean clothes and my uniform for when I return to work. Within half an hour we are back at my place and I head inside to grab everything that I need, it is then that I remember the his and his mp3 players that are still in the trunk of my car, I had planned to present Jason with his after the meal, but Alex's intervention had put pay to that.
As I head back out to my car Jason hits the button on the dash that opens the trunk of my car, a wicked smile plays across my muzzle as I put the items into the trunk. Without closing the trunk lid I head back to my front door and make sure that it is locked.
With the door secure I head back to the trunk under the pretence of closing the lid before I do I take out the mp3 players and then I head back to the passenger side of the car. I hide the packages inside my jacket while I get into the passenger seat.
"Jay, before you drive us back to your place there is something that I want to give you."
I put my paw inside my jacket and take out the matching boxes, I keep one for myself and then I hand the other to Jason, I then lean up and flip on the cars interior light, Jason's eyes go as wide as dinner plates as he sees what he is holding in his paw.
"Tango...what the hell? This must have cost you a fortune, and you got two of them for Pete's sake, no I can't accept this love, you can't afford it."
I put my paw on the side of his boxed player so that he can't return it back to me.
"Jay, I had some money saved up for when I finally found the guy that I truly loved, I know that it is only an mp3 player but I couldn't afford those new iPod things and at least now you can put your buds in your sexy ears and listen to your favourite tunes and think of me at the same time."
Even in the dim light of the interior of the car I could see the telltale signs of moisture beginning to show in the dark fur under Jason's eyes, Jay sniffles a little and then he leans across the centre console of the car and plants a warm and loving kiss on my right cheek, he then replies in a soft whisper.
"I love it almost as much as I love you, sweetheart, thank you so much."
Next, I hand the still sniffling Dobey a tissue which he uses to dab the moisture away from his eyes, a soft smile graces the gorgeous muzzle of my lover.
"That's what I am learning to love even more about you Tango, as well as being smokin' hot, you are also organised too."
We both share a laugh as we make the journey back towards Jason's place. We finally arrive at an ultra modern looking two bedroom semi-detached place and I can only sit for a few moments and stare in awe.
"Welcome to Blade Central, I hope that you have many happy years here if you do please tip your waiter if you don't please tip your waiter anyway."
I give Jason a stifled chuckle for his trouble, we both get out of my car and it is at that point that I realise that I can't see Jason's car parked on the driveway, I am just about to ask where it is when I remember that it is probably still parked at the gym waiting for its owner to collect it, I do though voice my concerns over the well-being of his car.
"Damn, sorry Jason, I forgot we still haven't collected your car from the gym yet."
His tail nub begins to wag a little.
"Don't you worry about that babe, Doug, the owner of the gym, I told him that I was going out for a meal so I asked him to keep an eye on it for me and I would pick it up when I finally get into work, which will be in..."
He checks his watch.
"...Just under six hours, yup I'm afraid I have a class at ten, I should have started at nine but I delayed it by an hour."
He then points a claw at me.
"You on the other paw are going to do nothing but rest for a couple of days, and remember three things, one I work at a gym, two I have some big guns, and three I'm as sexy as all hell and I am not being vain when I say that because those are your exact words remember?"
Damn him, I knew that he meant the first two as a tease and yes I do remember using those exact words for number three, but I still needed to get things done, I could only stay off work for so long.
"Okay Jay I will stay and rest for as long as it takes for the hospital strength meds to wear off but after that, I am going back to work, if folks see any of my injuries I won't hide them or shy away from them, and I will make damn sure that they get their facts straight, I don't want anyone pointing an accusing finger at the new love of my life."
He just gently nods and then opens the front door, with the door open we head inside and then straight up to his bedroom, truth be known we are both too tired to do anything but sleep.
Once inside Jason's bedroom I dump my clean clothing on his computer chair, I then strip out of my soiled clothing, Jason follows suit and within moments we are both snuggling under the covers of his bed.

I wake up to an otherwise empty bed, I look at the bedside table and I see a digital alarm clock there, man alive 12:30 pm have I really been asleep for just under eight hours? I slowly climb out of bed and find a pair of my clean underwear I put them on and then stand at the bedroom window and look out towards the main road, I look down a little and see that my car is still sat in the driveway, so that means that Jason has taken a cab to work, though if Jason is as smart as he seems I know that he will have taken my car keys with him to stop me from taking myself out for a drive.
I decided to take myself on the nickel tour of Jason's pad, as I step out of the bedroom there is a landing in front of me, to the right is a door which on inspection leads to the second bedroom which is slightly smaller than the one Jason uses, I close the door and turn back around, I am faced with a staircase off to the right and another door straight ahead of me.
I open the door and find an expansive and very modern looking bathroom complete with a shower, toilet, hand-wash basin and an absolute must for your modern-day fur a fur drier. A quick use of the facilities is in order methinks.
Once I finish my ablutions, shower, fur dry I look for a spare toothbrush but I only find Jason's, no matter how bad I need to keep my pearly whites white I won't use someone else's toothbrush, it just isn't cricket old boy.
I head back to Jason's bedroom to finish the job of getting dressed, I then head downstairs to finish the tour of the house that hopefully pretty soon will be my new home. I walk first into the main living room and see instantly that Jason is a lover of gadgets, much like myself I might add, the latest Hi-Fi system, games systems from PS4 to Xbox. Two two-seater leather sofas line one of the walls facing the 50-inch plasma TV, a high-end glass coffee table rests in the centre of the room, towards the back of the room is what looks to be a fairly comprehensive desktop computer system, 'Man I bet he watches quite a bit of porn on that'.
My next stop is the very well appointed and modern kitchen and if the kitchen is the same as the rest of the house then I have no doubt that it has every labour saving device known to man or fur. In the centre of the kitchen is a breakfast bar, on it, there is an envelope with my name written on it, I open the envelope and find a short note from Jason as well as some money, I read the note first.
"Hey Tag, I will be home from the gym at around 6:30 pm, once I get out of my work stuff we can go out for another meal but this time somewhere a little quieter and a little bit cheaper too, I have left some money in the envelope for you to order yourself a pizza for lunch, there is a list of pizza places who deliver by the phone. As you may have guessed I took a cab into work this morning so that I can bring my car home tonight and yes you sneaky Doberman, don't go looking for your car keys because I have them, I will see you when I get home, hugs and kisses Jay xxx xxx."
I groan a little, 'am I really that predictable'? Yup, it would seem so. I pick up the money and then head towards the phone, sure enough, pinned to the wall by the side of the phone is a list of pizza and takeaway places that deliver. I finally decide that a Hawaiian Pizza with fries and a soft drink will be just the trick for my lunch and so I waste no time in ordering it.
Twenty minutes later I am paying the delivery guy for my lunch and then heading back into the living room to watch some of the hideous daytime shows while I eat my meal, it is going to be a long wait until 6:30 pm.
