Part 6
I couldn't believe my ears. I had trudged to the door sleepily, after hearing my mom and Gabby 'fussing' over something. I made it to the doorway just in time to hear the talk about my pension. "Is it true?" I asked angrily.
"Zena....."
"IS IT TRUE?" My voice boomed through the house, making Ares' tail drop.
"This little...She's twisting what I say, Honey." My mom moved forward. I moved away to stand next to Gabby, who looked very nervous.
"Gabby," She looked up into my eyes. "Do you think that's why she's here?"
"Yeah." It killed her to tell me because I heard the faint sob in her voice.
"Mom.....Get out of my house. Get out of this city. Get out of this STATE and don't come back." I said angrily through gritted teeth. I am NOT your daughter anymore." I can't believe I actually was turning the tables on her. Listening to their conversation, I realized Gabby had been right all along. I was just too blind to see it.
"I love you, Zena." Mom said.
"BULLSHIT!" I screamed, causing Gabby to be startled. I placed my hand lovingly on her back to reassure her.
"You will not take my pension from my future wife. She is the only one that I can count on. By coming down here, you ended up proving that yourself. I'll make sure Gabby picks up what's left of Dad's too. If I die, you will not get a single penny from it." It wasn't long before my anger gave way to disappointment and sadness. I began to cry. I've done a lot of that lately. "You came here to cash in on my life." My mother began to turn on the tears as well. "Get out of OUR house. NOW!" Mom literally sprinted to the door. I watched her from the window as she hastily got into her car and left.
I collapsed onto the couch in a fit of sobs, putting my head in my hands. Gabby instantly sat with me and wrapped her arms around me. "I love you, Baby." she whispered several times before my little breakdown subsided.
"I'm sorry." I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand.
"For what, Sweetheart?"
"Not believing you. I guess I am a hard person to love."
"No." she said sternly, pulling my chin to meet her eyes. "It is not your fault, Zena. You were just right about your mother before she showed up here, a cold hearted bitch." she quoted back to me. "When she did, she opened old wounds. Instead of healing them, like you wanted her to...."
"She poured salt on them." I finished. It was a pretty accurate analogy. That's exactly what it felt like.
"I imagine you feel shittier than you have ever felt, Ze. I'm sorry, Love." She rubbed my back as I continued to ponder my self worth.
"One thing is worse."
"What's that?"
"If you ever left me." I turned to see 'my' smile.
"I guarantee you, Baby. You will NEVER find out what that feels like. I was yours the minute I laid eyes on you."
"I love you."
"Good." she smiled.
It took several hours before Ze was broken out of her funk. She was sitting on the couch watching TV when I suddenly had a wave of....arousal sweep through me like a tsunami. I have no idea where it came from, but I was suddenly reminded of the object I purchased a long while back I have not had a chance to use. Ze sipped her grape soda as I stepped between her and the television. "Need something, Baby?" she asked. I answered by crossing my arms and removing my t-shirt. Needless to say, I was bra-less. She almost dropped her 'America's Most Wanted' glass. "Oh gods." she whispered.
"Yeah I want something. Can I have it?"
"Oh yeah." she gestured for me to come closer. I dropped my shorts and underwear before getting close enough for her to touch. "You're beautiful." she whispered before claiming my mouth. She groaned as I sat on her lap, straddling her thighs. I rocked into her subconsciously.
"Get 'em off." I pulled at her boxers impatiently. She was more than happy to assist me. She also removed her shirt with the same vigor. Just as we both were naked and began to grind into each other. I stood up. It took all of my self control, but I reminded myself what I wanted to do.
"Gabby." Zena groaned almost angrily when I stepped out of her reach.
"No...not yet." I said. "I want to do something different."
"Different?" she breathed.
"Yeah, I wanna use something. Ever used a sex toy before?"
"A dildo you mean?"
"Yeah."
"Yes. They don't do anything for me." I looked at her.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I don't know why but if its not fingers or....a tongue, I won't come." I smiled my evil smile. "What are you thinking?"
"How 'bout we make a little wager?"
"What kind of wager?"
"If I make you come with it, you have to do what I say for the rest of the night."
"And if I don't?"
"Vice versa." I smiled. She smiled.
"You're on. Now come here." She stood from the couch and picked me up. After almost nine months together, she still amazes me with her strength.
I retrieved the dildo out of the drawer as she closed her eyes. "What's it made out of?" She actually sounded a bit afraid.
"Wood."
"Is it a strap on?" she smiled.
"Actually its versatile." That brought a smile to her face. There was a double ended one for mutual pleasure and a regular one for one-on-one pleasuring. I chose the ladder...this time.
I crawled onto our bed and remained on my knees beside Ze, who was stretched out on her back. "If I hurt your leg, let me know. Okay?" She nodded, her eyes still closed.
"Baby, are you scared?"
"Its just been a long time since I did something like this and I didn't quite....perform if ya know what I mean."
"She wasn't me."
"Still...Gabby if I don't...have an orgasm, please don't be upset."
"I won't I promise." This is the most dialogue we've ever spoken before we've made love. She was scared of disappointing me. "As long as we're together, it won't matter."
I slowly reached down and ran my hand up her cleft, causing her jump. She moaned as two fingers disappeared and I felt the wetness that was all Zena. "Ohhhhhh. Gabby, why can't you just do that?" she breathed as she rocked her hips.
"Its not as fun, that's why." When I thought she was wet enough, I reached for the toy. She bit her lip and groaned when it entered her. I never saw my love's face so beautiful, than in a moment of passion. I began slowly excelling in the speed of my thrusts. She was definitely enjoying it. Ze's moans grew louder. Still, I didn't feel her tensing. I continued my administrations, concentrating on the rhythm. Her moans were beginning to sound as if I was torturing her. In a sense, I was. She was fully aroused, but couldn't get where she wanted to be.
"Gabby....I...stop. I'm not going to." she breathed.
"Yes you are." I said defiantly. I decided to switch tactics, talking. That is after all, what I do best. "Come for me, Zena." She shook her head.
"I can't."
"Please...don't you wanna make me scream?" Again she shook her head, this time a positive. "Then come for me."
I was beginning to tire. I was about to give up when I felt the slightest of changes in Zena's body. It was happening. "Gabby." she breathed as I felt the first tremors course through her. "Gabby...Gabby!!!!" she screamed as I pumped harder and rode it out with her. I did it. "Oh gods." Ze's head fell back to the bed. I saw a tear roll down her face. "That was incredible, Gabby. Ohhhhhh."
"Told ya." I smiled, reaching down for a kiss. Her hand went behind my head. She crushed my mouth to hers.
"I love you." she breathed between kisses.
"Now," I straddled her hips. "You have to do what I say all night long." I smiled. Somehow I don't know whether she looked at it as a loss.
Gabby collapsed on top of me again. I closed my eyes trying to calm my breathing. "I had a dream about you taking me like this." I smiled, fingering the leather on her hips.
"Why didn't you say anything?" she breathed.
"Long time ago. I didn't want to scare you away from me." I caressed her back until she sat up, pulling the object out of my body. "Ohhhhh."
We had been extremely passionate. Two months of bottled up frustration makes for great sex. Never have I been very bold when it came to things like this, but I must admit. I'm beginning to enjoy it. After tossing the dildo, she returned to my chest. I stroked her hair. It was getting much lighter, almost blond. Must be the Santa Monica air or something because she works at night, so its not the sun. Almost all the women on that boardwalk are light haired. My girlfriend must have caught it from somewhere. I smiled to myself at the thought. "Jenny says their ceremony is at ten on Tuesday. Okay?"
"Alright. I'll take the day off. Are they still having at Cameron's parent's house?" I asked.
"As far as I know they are."
"I can't wait till we get married." I smiled.
"Really?"
"Yeah of course. I love you."
"I talked to Cameron. She said the guy marrying them can marry us too. We just have to set a date." Gabby reached over and pulled the comforter over us both.
"You name the date. I'll go with whatever you say."
"You sure?"
"Yes. Whatever you want is fine with me." I kissed her on the top of the head.
"How about next week?"
"Huh?"
"Too soon. I know."
"No. No. It's fine. Where do you want to have it?"
"How about in the grass yard behind the church. The official said it would be alright."
"Fine by me. BUT I am not wearing a dress."
"We are going causal, Baby."
"You sure?" I looked down.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Cammy and Jenny said they'd take the pictures if we promised to go to their ceremony."
It was late afternoon of the next morning before we pulled ourselves out of bed and dressed. Just as I passed the front door, a knock. I opened to see my 'stepdad and stepsister'.
"May we come in?" he asked. I gestured and opened the door widely to let them in.
"Sure."
"We came to say goodbye and to apologize for Katie. I had NO idea that she was here to hurt you. I seriously thought that she was coming to...make amends, but I guess not."
"Its okay. I've accepted the fact my mother doesn't love me.....I should have a long time ago."
"Zena, I still wanna be a part of your life."
"And so do I." Amy smiled. "Pretty cool having a big sister." I smiled.
"I know we aren't blood related Zena but you are still my stepdaughter and I want you to send me some pictures when you two tie the knot. Okay?"
"I will. Thanks."
"Bye Zena." Amy waved. I hugged them both and watched them leave. At least
something good came out of this trip down memory lane.
I dressed in khaki slacks and a black polo shirt. This was as dressy as I get, at least for our friends' wedding. For ours however, I decided on a different approach. I wasn't going to tell Gabby just yet about the idea I came up with. I watched intently as Jenny and Cammy, both in summer dresses, exchanged vows and rings. I can't wait till it's my turn. After the official ceremony, we signed as witnesses. I heard Cameron lean into Gabby and whisper, "How did you get her to wear khakis? She's hot." The two chuckled. Ohhh brother.
I took Gabby to the boardwalk. She wanted to pick our wedding bands in one of the jewelry stores. "There's this one on Ocean Walk that does a customized thing." I allowed her to pull me by the arm into the store in question. "Look at that set right there." she pointed. "What do ya think?"
"They look exactly alike."
"So. What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing. Its just that I like to go with a wider band. That one just looks like a regular ring to me." I leaned on the glass.
"Okay. Pick one."
"How about that one?"
"Hey I like that one. It's you." she smiled. "I like it and the matching one.....Oh but look at the price." she whispered when the lady came over to help us.
"So. I got it covered, Baby. I'm not about to skimp on our rings because they have to last forever." Oh boy. I think she's going to start crying. Nice line though. 'Your just mad 'cause you didn't think of it, Xena.' I quipped.
"Can I help you ladies?" I looked at Gabby and she shook her head yes.
"Yes. We would like to buy these rings." I pointed.
"Excellent choice." she smiled, opening the cabinet. "Do you know your sizes?"
"Yeah I'm an eight and a half I believe." I said.
"I have no idea." Gabby smiled.
"No problem. We'll just size you here." She pulled out a keyring full of rings. "We are having a special. When you by these rings, your engraving is free."
"Cool. How long will the engraving take?"
"Oh a few days. Would like us to call when they're completed?" I wrote down our home phone.
"Man, that's the first time you have ever enjoyed shopping." I smiled at Ze.
"Your right. I had fun." I yawned. "We should get you home so you can take a nap before your shift."
"Okay." I yawned.
"You are inviting me right?" Randy chuckled as he looked through his messages.
"I guess." I sighed.
"Oh gee don't put yourself out or anything." he smiled. "Guess we better hit the streets, Kid."
I sat in the passenger's seat and opted to let Randy drive. "Check this guy out." Randy said. I looked ahead of us and saw a red truck in front of us.
"He's not dimming his headlights to oncoming traffic."
"Bingo." Randy smiled. I grabbed the radio. Randy loves to test me to if I can find the offense. I almost always got it.
"Dispatch. We have a suspicious vehicle heading southbound on Pontiac. Red Ford Ranger License plate: Boy Adam David One."
"Roger 34..........Vehicle has been reported stolen from District 10."
"That's it." Randy hit the blue lights. The truck took a few seconds, but they did pull over.
"Dispatch we're stopped on....Pontiac just past Oakess. Two occupants." I said glancing around.
"Roger 34. Additional units are assisting. "
Randy pointed the spotlight at the truck. "Okay. Let's do it." We both stepped out. I straightened my gun belt as I did, leaving my hand on the grip of my gun. Randy drew his and let it rest in his hand as he approached the driver. "Cut the truck off and step out."
"I didn't do nothing." the bearded driver replied. "Step Out! Now!" I stepped up to the passenger. Whew. It was woman. Really didn't want to deal with another two hundred pound man tonight, poor Randy.
"Step out." She didn't move. "I said step out." Her hand moved. "RANDY!" I reached through the open window and grabbed her wrist. Placing her other hand on top of mine, she literally tried to pull me into the cab. I pinned her with a hand to the throat as she tried to get free. Randy came through the still open driver door. "She started to reach under the seat." Once Randy pulled her free from the truck I walked around and handcuffed the crying woman, while Randy held her down. "Got her?"
"Yeah. Gabby check the truck."
"Okay." I walked back to the cruiser and reached in and pulled out my flashlight. Another unit pulled in front of the truck. Sanderson and Vellor exited. I walked back to the truck as I watched them put the man and woman in their cruiser. Just as we suspected. It was stolen. The steering column was popped. Remembering that a popped column would not allow you to dim the lights.
I pulled the catch of the seat and shifted it back as far as it would go. I very carefully began to tentatively feel under the unseen part of the floor. I felt it. I grasped the gun by the butt and pulled it out, laying in on the seat. "Oh man." Randy commented.
"44 magnum." I said. I reached again under seat, retrieving a box of ammo. I placed that next to the gun. Vellor reached under the driver's side.
"Nothing here."
"They both have warrants for failure of appear." Sanderson said. We nodded.
"Thanks, Gabby."
"For what?" I smiled.
"Saving my ass. You've got a sharp eye."
"Yeah I'm good aren't I?" I joked, puffing my chest out. He laughed.
Finally, our favorite part of the shift, dinner. This is where we exchanged the most info in a shift. We almost never talked about the job. "Sara told me last night that her dad wants me to accompany him and his...friends," He did the in-the-air quotes. "to a hunting lodge this weekend."
"Oh yeah..." I cringed. "I'll be flying solo for the first time."
"Don't worry. You have to check in every hour and there's always plenty of back up around solo routes." Due to a lack of manpower, I will be alone for a shift.
"I know. I'm just nervous that's all."
"You'll do great. Its only one night. You'll hardly notice I'm gone. Did you tell Zena?"
"Nah, I don't want her up all night worrying about me. I can barely get her to sleep while I'm gone as it is."
"Well, my lips are sealed. So, you wearing a dress or what?" he grinned.
"Ugggggg." I put my head down. I heard him laughing it up. I kicked him in the shin. I looked to see an "Owwww" expression on his face.
I tiredly got out of the jeep and started to tread towards the door. Suddenly a shadow jumped out of the bushes and pushed me down onto my back. "AHHHHHHH!!!" I started to reach for my gun and I realized I was pinned by ninety pounds of...DOG. It was Ares. I heard irate laughter coming from the hedge. Zena yanked the front door open and ran to me.
"Baby, are you okay?.....What happened?" She looked over and saw a pair of hysterically laughing neighbors from their yard. Ze grabbed Ares' collar and moved him so I could stand. She reached down a hand and I grasped it, letting her pull me up. One look at my face told her I didn't find this one bit funny. From her face, she didn't either.
"You think that's FUNNY?" I scowled. They silenced. "You scared the shit outta me!!! I could have hurt him!" I gestured. Ze placed her arm around my shoulders.
"Come on baby. Go on in. Get ready for bed." She kissed the top of my head. They all watched Ares and I walk into the house. I turned back to make sure Ares was in. Ze wasn't happy. I stood and listened just out of view.
"You don't really think that was funny."
"Sure it was. You should have seen her face." Cameron chuckled.
"Let me tell you guys something.....Gabby just came home from a night of chasing people, arresting people, and trying to defend herself against people that want to kill her. You scare her by making something jump out at her. Your lucky she didn't pull her gun. She could have hurt you two or Ares. You better be glad she has non-lethal reactions or you two could be dead."
"We're sorry, Zena." Jenny said. "We didn't think of it like that."
"Yeah. Sorry."
"Just...think next time."
I closed the door as she turned to come back into the house. I pulled off my gun belt and shoes. "You okay?" she asked.
"Yeah. I'm okay." Truthfully my nerves were completely shot. She saw the trembling in my hands as I unbuttoned my shirt.
"Let's go to bed." I followed her in.
The day finally arrived. I believe my butterflies ate clear through my stomach lining. "Ze." I called. "Honey, hurry up. We have to leave in ten minutes." I choose a knit black sleeveless sweater with a white, long sleeve dress shirt and khakis. This is as dressy as dressy gets. I turned around and Ze was standing right behind me.
Oh gods she was a sight. She was in her dress blues. "Is this okay?" I looked her over from bottom to top. Perfectly shined black shoes, dark blue trousers, dark blue long sleeve shirt, perfectly shined nameplate. SGT. Z. WALKER, and silver badge, white gloves, sergeant's strips on both shoulders, hair in a ponytail, and she opted to leave the hat off.
"Yeah...mm.mmore than okay." I stuttered excitedly. "You're beautiful, Zena." My favorite phrase. She reached forward and wrapped her strong arms around me. I just held her for a few moments. A sharp knock came on our door.
"Hey you guys getting married or not?" Randy laughed. I heard Jenny back him up.
I tried to hold my composure. I refused to cry. I really didn't listen that much to the minister until the vows. When I felt that ring slip onto my finger, I knew my life had meant absolutely nothing without her. "You may kiss....each other." he smiled. I heard the calls and clapping of Randy and his wife, Jenny, Ze's captain, and heard the snap of Cameron's camera taking yet another picture. All I felt was the softness and the passion of this kiss that sealed us together.
"I love you." she whispered into my ear before turning to our guests.
It was a beautiful day. The minister insisted we use the yard for our very modest reception. Cake and the signing of the documents were the list of events, but it was enough for me. "So Walker, you takin' a honeymoon?"
"Actually," she looked at me. "no. Gabby has to work and we'll just take one some other time." she smiled. After snapping a few more pictures, Jenny announced that she was on her way to the drug store to get triple prints.
We walked hand in hand up to the front door. "It was perfect, Ze." She reached forward and picked me up off of my feet and spun me in a circle, repositioning on the ground.
"What's perfect is me making love to my....wife." she smiled. We stepped into the house. I removed my sweater. "Hold it." I turned around.
"What?"
"I wanna do the honors." She must have pre-selected the CD's because she simply turned it on. A soft melody from 98 degrees filtered through. I do, I do....I do I doooo. I recognized the soft ballad. It was one of my favorites. She moved to me and wrapped her arms around me. I reached up and wrapped my arms around her neck. We swayed slightly to the tempo. All I am....All I'll be. Everything in this world, all that'll ever need is in your eyes....shining at me. When you smile I can feel....all my passion unfolding. Your hand brushes mine and a thousand sensations seduce me cause I doooo Cherish you....For the rest of my life you don't have to think twice...I will love you still. From the depths of my soul. Its beyond my control...If your asking, do I love you this much....I dooooo.
I couldn't hold in my urge to kiss her. I pulled her head down and began to gently explore her mouth. As the next chorus played, she slowly pulled my shirt out of my waistband and began unbuttoning it, while still holding my kiss. Ze wasted no time in removing it off my shoulders. Before it could drop completely off of my arms, she pulled both sides forward, pining me to her by my garment. She moved her mouth down and gently licked my pulse point. How you opened my life to a new paradise....In a world torn by change Still with all my heart till my dying day.
She let my shirt drop and her nimble little fingers soon exposed my breasts to her view. I was barely able to get her shirt off as she latched onto my nipple. "Mmmmm. Gabby you taste so good." I got a nice big whiff of Cool Ice as Ze's shirt dropped to our feet. I reclaimed her mouth as I loosened and removed her belt. The whoosh of leather on cotton signaled her to assist me in the removal of her slacks. She kicked off her shoes and did just that. When she finished, I took off the form fitting black cotton bra.
Leaving our discarded clothes, she pulled me into the bedroom and closed the door. I watched as she walked over to her other CD player and turned it on, another soft ballad. She removed her panties to the melody of I what recognized as Truly, Madly, Deeply. As she crossed over to me, she removed her socks, leaving her pendant and ring. I'll be your dream I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy. Ze returned to the task of undressing me. Her hands slipped into my khakis to give me a squeeze. "Ohhhhh." She then unclasped the button, slipping her thumbs in and pushing them down and off. I had kicked my shoes off during her walk to the CD player. Zena made sure to pull my undes down as well, leaving me open to her view. I will strong. I will be faithful cause I'm counting a new beginnin'. A reason livin'. A deeper meaning. I wanna stand with you on a mountain. I wanna bathe with you in the sea. She picked me up and placed me on our bed. I wanna lay like this forever...until the sky falls down on me.
She slowly kissed her way down my body, until I was literally begging for her to release me. Finally she moved down to my bellybutton. She circled it, teasing me. Zena's left hand came up and took mine, clasping our fingers. I squeezed it firmly when her tongue touched me for the first time today. "Ohhhh Zena.....Please." Don't have to close your eyes. It's standin' right before you. All that you need will surellllyyyy come. I listened to the romantic words of the song as Zena was taking me up higher. I heard the moans of pleasure and felt her squeeze my hand. She was surely enjoying this too. I began to feel myself building. I'll love you more with every breath. Truly, Madly, Deeply dooo. Mmmmm. "Zena!!!! Ohhhhhhhh!!!" That was it. Zena held onto it as long as she could. I listened to the last of the song as I felt Zena crawl up and lie down next to me. I wanna livvvve like this forever until the sky falls down on me.
