Tina's Story Chapter 8 the Night Visitor
In the last Chapter, Tina and Ray share their first day after their first sexual experience. they have a nice day out, with brunch and tennis, then call it an early day. Cleaning up, the soiled sheets cause Tina to relive memories of this special weekend.....
Some would say that there are no happy days at the DMV, especially in the suspension unit. Mondays in particular would not be thought of as happy days. Yet, this Monday, Tina is walking on air. Now, Tina is one of the nicest and most pleasant people at the DMV anyway, but today, she positively glows. Tina is so happy, that even the surly callers she encounters as a DMV supervisor seem to enjoy the experience. KC comes by. Today, Tina is wearing a white, high collar blouse with puff sleeves, a long wool skirt, and black lace stockings.
" Morning, Tina...Looking pretty today. Maybe a little conservative?
(Tina motions KC to come closer) " Thanks.....I'm not wearing any panties!"
"Bad girl!" (Both start giggling.....)
",It's a BEAUTIFUL day, isn't it?"
" Boy, you're in a good mood...."
" (sigh) I'm just happy....."
Just then, a floral delivery guy comes to Tina's cubicle, bringing her a gorgeous bouquet of pink roses....
" Who are those from?"
" (sigh) Ray." Thanks for the WONDERFUL weekend....XO Ray"
" KC, can you bring these to the break room?" Tina hands KC a huge tray of chocolate chip cookies. " I baked these last night...."."
KC waves to Tina, who is now involved in calling Ray. KC walks toward the break room with the big tray of cookies that Tina had baked. She runs into Rosa.....
" Ohhhhhh. cookies!" Where are they from?"
" Tina. She's in a REALLY good mood...."
" Si, I noticed."
" I've never seen her in such a good mood. She just got flowers from Ray....pink roses!"
"The flowers she got for the flowers she lost this weekend..."
" I'm sorry?"
" you know, she became a woman...."
(Rosa leans over...) Ray got to visit Tina's kitty......"
" I didn't know Tina had....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I get it....She and Ray....(makes a hand signal involving putting her finger in a hole made by her other fingers...."
"Ay, smart girl... " rosa gestures) "they are young and in love! Life will get to them soon enough....Let's get some cookies before word gets out. The coffee just got made....
As Mondays go, this was not a bad one. Before long, it's 5:00, and the girls punch out and head home. Tina catches her bus, and Rosa, the subway. KC catches a ride with a friend, and Colleen goes to the parking garage, and gets behind the wheel of her Chrysler Sebring convertible. The weather is a little cool, so she leaves the top up for the trip home.Inside of a half hour, Colleen is inside the parking garage of the high rise where she lives, and heads up to her apartment. Once inside, Colleen walks to the bedroom, and sheds her work clothes...the suit, the blouse....the slip, the bra....Colleen is now down to nothing but her panties. She shakes herself out, then slips on an emerald green robe, which compliments her green eyes, and contrasts her flaming red fur. First stop is the bar, where she mixes herself an after work cocktail. Colleen then takes a deep drink of her Martini, and goes to the kitchen. She is quite a good cook, and begins to select ingredients for tonight's meal. An hour, and another Martini, and she is ready to eat. Even tnhough she is alone, Colleen carefully sets the dining table with candles and flowers, then sits down to eat. After dinner, Colleen pours herself a glass of Chablis, puts some Coltrane on the stereo, and curls up on the sofa with the new 'Vogue', when........
There comes a knock on the door. Colleen checks the peephole, even though this is a building with a doorman. Opening the door, she sees KC. The Cocker stands there, tears running down her bruised and cut face, a little blood trickling from one nostril....Colleen immediately pulls her inside, and pulls her tight to her chest....
"My poor baby, what happened? Who did this to you?"
For a long time, KC said nothing, for she was sobbing too hard, and she wouldn't let go of Colleen, holding on desperatly, face buried in Colleen's soft red fur. They stood there a long time, the Red Setter comforting the little Cocker. Finally, KC settled down enough to stop sobbing, and Colleen lead her to sit down....Stroking her head, Colleen asked again...
"What happened, precious? Who did this to you?"
KC began to sob again, but she soldiered on....
"Bull......I came home....he had been drinking all day....when I got in, he told me he wanted sex......(begins to sob harder....) I had a headache, a real one....I just said, you know, like, not now....Breaks into hard sobbing....and he HITS me....(stops the story to cry. Colleen holds her head to her chest. Some time later...)
" What happened then?"
" Don't know....(sob) something just snapped. I kicked him.....(breaks into uncontrolled sobbing)
" Where?"
" His balls"
" With what?"
(points to very pointy cowboy boots, with metal capped toes.)
"then?"
" Well, he kind of fell to the floor, and grabbed his, you know....."
" Then?" By now, Colleen didn't know what to expect....
(By now, KC was a little more composed) I don't know why I did what I did next......
" Which was?"
" I kicked him in the nuts again. this time he REALLY SCREAMS, LIKE SOME DYING ANIMAL! Then he vomits all over...
(By now, Colleen is not saying a word, sitting there, fascinated, wanting to hear what comes next.)
" So, I grab Bull, and slide him out the door on his own vomit, then I throw him into the hall, and I tell him 'Don't you EVER come back here, 'cause if you do, you'll HOPE I call the police. Then, I took the keychain off his belt, took my keys off it, then beaned him in the head with the keys...."
(Colleen is still somewhat in shock; she just says nothing, holding and stroking the frightened KC....)
" Well, I went back in side, and you know, I just cried and cried. Then I cleaned up the puke. and I guess I ended up here..."
"you know, you should call the police..."
"No! They'll arrest him, but they'll arrest me, too, when he complains. Besides, I think he got the worst of it...."
Colleen, wise in the ways of the world, knew there was truth to what KC said...Colleen picked up her cel, and dialed Rosa.
"Rosa? Colleen. Listen; I need you to come over to the apartment. There will be a key on the door. Don't come in. Take the key, go over to KC's place and pack her a bag. Bring it back, and knock on the door. Just knock and leave. Yes.,I have some nerve. I know you don't drive. I know there's some man there; have him drive. yes, I know I owe you. Who sent you bail money in Tijuana? At 2 am? Love you too, Sugar....."
Turning back to KC, Colleen went back into mother-mode.....
" Look at you! We need to get you cleaned up. Here, come..."
Colleen took KC's hand and lead her to the bathroom. While KC stood there, Colleen removed her ripped and soiled clothing. Colleen drew a warm bath, and lovingly washed KC. She toweled her off, and tried to get KC to eat. She agreed to a bowl of cereal, and a little bacon. It was then that Colleen her Rosa's knock on the door. She went outside and got the bag. After she ate, Colleen dressed KC in a sweet flannel nightgown, and tucked her tenderly into the spare bedroom. As Collen folded the cover over , tucking the sides in carefully, KC spoke....
" Colleen?"
"Yes, sweetheart?"
" Don't leave. I don't want to be alone....."
Colleen smiled, and kissed her on the forehead. " I;ll be in the chair by the bed until you fall asleep."
And Colleen did as she had promised. Not until her soft, rhythmic breathing told her KC was asleep, did she leave. Too upset to sleep herself, Colleen made a drink, and sat in the living room, watching talk shows, until she was too tired to go on. Exhausted, physically and emotionally, Colleen dropped her robe, and slipped between the covers. Just as she was drifting off, Colleen sensed the presense of another. It was KC.
" Can I sleep with you? I don't want to be alone...."
The sleepy Setter held up the covers, inviting the scared little Cocker in. KC buried her face in the soft luxurious fur of the setter's chest. She took KC in her arms, holding het tight, finally falling asleep when KC stopped shaking......
