Sally sat on the barstool; it was not often that she went out without baby Charlotte. But she had gotten closer with Eliza and Alessandra, and Alessandra decided to have a private party at Calvin’s restaurant.
Calvin was not able to spend much time with her because he was hosting the artsy crowd. Sally focused on playing the role of secondary hostess. She was artsy herself, so it was easy for her to mix with the partygoers.
“You look amazing, Sally,” Eliza said to her.
Maybe it was because Eliza was already a mother, but it made Sally feel good to have her tell her she was doing the right things with Charlotte and that she looked good. Alessandra reiterated everything that Eliza said, so Sally felt good even though she did not look like she had looked before she had Charlotte. Calvin told her how good she looked and how there were differences about her that he liked since she had Charlotte. She was not vain, but she liked to hear that she looked good after giving birth.
Eliza and Alessandra stepped away to talk to a woman who had just walked in, and Sally picked up her drink.
“What are you drinking?” Sally looked up at the man, who looked down at her with a matching glass of red wine while popping a marinated olive into his mouth.
“Not sure, the bartender surprised me,” Sally grinned. Eliza and Alessandra walked back over to her with smiles on their faces.
“Leon, let me introduce you to Sally, Sally this is Leon. He has been dying to meet you all night,” Alessandra said and gave a knowing glance to Eliza.
Eliza shot a look at Sally.
“Cheers, Sally,” Leon said, raising his glass. The way he looked at all of them was like she on fire, she wanted to know what the secret was between the three of them. Leon gave her a long look before he walked away from her.
“So is my bra showing? What the hell was between with the three of you?” Sally asked, and Calvin walked over just then.
“Can’t tell you in front of your baby daddy,” Alessandra giggled.
“What? Calvin and I have no secrets,” Sally said, and he put his arms about her. His arms grazed her breasts which he said he loved and were more sensitive since she gave birth.
“Leon just totally wanted to fuck you,” Alessandra said, and Eliza rolled her eyes.
“Fuck me?” Sally asked and looked up at Calvin. “This man walked over, and he asked me what I was drinking. Then Alessandra came over to cause trouble.”
“You’re a total MILF,” Alessandra said. “Total MILF!”
“Well, I like to fuck her, and this guy better not have even thought what you are saying, Alessandra, because Sally is mine.”
Salle pressed her back to him, and he pulled her closer. They stood close like some sort of live sculpture installation in the middle of the party. Leon was several people away, but Sally could still feel his eyes on her, and she froze.
She did not want anyone to interfere with her family.
More Wicked Wednesday here, and read my new series. The latest story is Olives — they are a theme this week!
Oh I really hope there’s nothing threatening on the horizon. Leon will just have to move on to the next 😉
