Juan
Craig screamed out that he was in the bedroom as I walked up the stairs I walked up the stairs to the bedroom. My heart was racing with every step, as I reached the top of the stairs I could hear the shower running. I said “hello “and Craig said “look in the closet and get what you need I needed.” I stood in the walk in closet that was the size of my bedroom at Nana’s house. Feeling like I was shopping in Neiman Marcus, I had never seen so many suits in my life. This was just Craig’s closet and I think Kara’s closet was twice this size, I guess preaching pays. I grabbed a suit and shirt and went back to the bedroom and started changing my clothes. A few minutes later Craig walks out of the bathroom with nothing on but a towel, he had a lot of nerve walking around in front of me with his bare chest showing; didn’t he know he was fine as hell? He winked his eye and I blushed he knew that was an open invitation. He sat next to me on their bed and then he kissed me on my neck. Now, I have been waiting for this for a very long time. I always thought that we would make a better couple then him and Kara.
I actually introduced them while we were in college, at times I think I a jealous of their relationship. Just think, I could have been the first man of First Beulah Baptist Church of Rockdale County. I bet you they would have to build a bigger church because people would be coming from miles away to see that site. Well, we all know that this would never happen, because I’m not gay. I am really digging Craig but he is married and I am sitting on the marriage bed with Pastor kissing me on my neck, I started to relax a bit. He raised my shirt and started to lick my nipples. Before I knew it my hands found their way inside of that towel and I was working the Pastor. His eyes started to roll to the back of his head. Just as things were heating up the car horn blew, it was Kara and she needed help with the groceries. We rushed and put on our clothes and he stormed out of the house to help. I went into the bathroom to wash off and came out like nothing ever happened. As I came down the steps Kara said, “nice suit, you actually look better in the suit than my husband does.” Craig said to Kara “stop flirting with Juan, first ladies ought not act like that” and her response was “neither should the Pastor.”
I wasn’t quite sure what to make of that comment and I started to wonder if she knew what was up with her husband. Kara said “do you know what today is?” I had no clue so I said “your birthday?” ”No, Today is our sixth anniversary of the day you introduced us!” All I could say is, “wow six years already?” “You remember,” said Kara, “I was just out of a bad relationship, I was dating Jevin for two years and it was a typical relationship.” “The sex was off the chain” Kara went on to explain despite the fact that her husband was in the room., “Jevin was three years younger than me and not so experienced in the bed, not to say that I was. Long story short, he was a street dude so it was like one month into our relationship I realized I had picked the wrong dude. I had suspicions my ex and his best friend John had something going on. They where not overly close in public but his best friend had a key to his apartment when we were together and I didn’t. I can’t really say what made me suspect them but I keep wondering if I am right. When a girl has to second guess if her man is gay it is time to get out of the relationship. I think we women call it a women’s intuition.”
Kara
I had met Juan some years ago when you tried to pick me up at a party, but you where like a little brother and so nothing happened between us. Well, to be honest I thought you where gay, but I talked to Nicole this morning and she said baby Juan is all man. We will have to talk about that later, I told her she should have held out and not given in to temptation. But anyway, I knew you had a friend name Craig and I wanted to meet him so bad. I also knew your friend was fine and I knew Craig was really feeling me too. For a while it went nowhere because I had just had my heart torn out of my chest. After a while I started to trust men again and bam, before I knew it he was telling me that he loves me and wants me have his kids. Then he told me he was going to divinity school and I was like hell no, I am not going to marry a preacher. Well we all know how the story ended and I must say I am so glad that I did. She then kisses Craig very passionately and throws the leg up and I tell them let me leave and let you guys celebrate your anniversary.
As I left the house I started thinking about what Kara said and I know now that I can never let this thing between Craig and I go any further. I know it’s hard when you love someone, but when you love someone you also do the right thing. I am in love with someone that I know I can never really have. I love this man and I think he loves me but I know I can never have him. First because he is a Pastor and the second thing is he is married with two young kids. I know he has no plans on leaving Kara and she is a true Pastor’s wife. She would be one of those women sitting on TV with her man when the press found out he cheated. I will never ever do anything to hurt his career or family out of the love and respect that I have for him.
Well, I made up my mind that I am going to quit my new job today. As I arrive on the job and walk to the door I see my boss leaving with a box in his hand. He stops and tells me he just got fired for sexual harassment, my mouth dropped. As I walked into the office his boss called me into his off and said congratulation you have just been promoted. I stood there in shock, I thought I was going to get fired and instead I just got an eighty thousand dollar raise. I guess when you don’t sleep with a married man there is a blessing around the corner.
