In Too Deep
-Under the blue sky, outside the old coffee shop, Peter smiled at the young lady he had met inside and had a wonderful conversation with. -
My dear reader, before we begin, welcome to what shall be a series that’ll last how long the story wishes to last. I’m trying something new, challenging myself with my writing so here we are with a series I shall call “IN TOO DEEP.” It’ll be a weekly entry vibe starting today. It’ll be published every Wednesday, which means other works of mine such as essays, poems and short stories will be published every Friday. If you’re new here, thanks for joining me today and do take your time to subscribe and support the works of mine.
I thank you for taking your time to be with me and my words weekly. Enjoy the first of IN TOO DEEP.
Her alluring blue eyes, the crop top she wore, and the smile she gave him enticed Peter to get in conversation with her as she wrote. Few hours later, he stood under the blue sky, outside the old coffee shop saving her phone number on his phone.
“So, I’ll see you here tomorrow then?” Peter uttered as he typed the name Lia into his contacts and saved it. He knew of the name Lia but unable to recollect his memory, he smiled.
“I shall see you here tomorrow at noon, maybe have another conversation like today and see where it takes us.”
“Why not see where it takes us today?” He asked.
Blood flowed to her cheeks, her mouth opened wide and uttered “I wish, but I have to meet a college friend of mine but we shall see tomorrow.” She embraced him, got into her car and left.
Peter waved, began to smile and picture her in bed with him. She’s filled with so many things he hadn’t seen before. Her lips crimson and seductive, he wished he would have gotten a bit of her at that moment. The conversation they had, beautiful as well, he might have fallen in love.
“Cheat,” He heard.
He looked around him to see who had uttered such words but saw no one so he walked back into the coffee shop, grabbed his laptop and walked out.
“Cheat,” He heard again, “But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” He looked up to the sky, “She was none like I’ve met before,” He said, picturing her lips once again.
“Cheat,” uttered again in his mind as he got into his car and drove home.
Upon arriving home, a similar car to which he had seen at the coffee shop is parked next to his driveway, and coming out of the house as he pulled in was his wife and Lia.
“Oh Fuck,” He thought pulling in.
“Hi love,” his wife said.
“Hi baby,” embracing his wife as he stared at the smiling face of Lia. She winked at him and in his memory, a recent meeting with Lia at his wedding five years ago he saw. She had made a move on him at his wedding but he uttered none of this to his wife.
“This is my best friend Lia, She was the bridesmaid at the wedding but left town right after.”
“I see.”
Peter after embracing his wife, put out his hands to Lia and smiled, “Lovely to meet you again Lia,” He uttered, “What brings you to town now?”
“Adventure,” Lia said. Her crimson lips stood out as he stared at them while blood flowed down to his legs. “I shall go now, will see you guys when I see you.”
Peter and his wife waved as she left and walked into the house. “What do you want for dinner?” Neva said.
“Lia,” He thought, “Anything is fine my love,” He said.
Till Next Time
