Chapter 5: I Fucked A Ghost And I Liked It
After everything settles down, Kelly opens the package excitedly. Inside is a plain cardboard box, with the words Chocolate Covered Nuts printed on it in red with a handwritten note taped to it. The note says, “Kelly, I want to make sure you have something to keep you going while I am gone. I will be back in about 3 days because I must go on a business trip for a new construction project. I’ll see you when I get back. Yours only, Grayson.”
“What the hell does that mean? She wonders. Are we in a relationship suddenly that I don’t know about?” While feeling confused, she packs up the box and sets it aside before making dinner for the girls. Once dinner is done, the rest of the evening goes rather quickly.
When the girls rush off to bed, she shuts down the house for the night and finds herself fighting off sleep because it suddenly gets eerily silent. As she gets ready for bed and pulls down the covers, she hesitates for a moment before laying down and stares out the window towards Grayson’s house. Deciding to go to bed, she leaves the covers off because it is so hot and muggy that sweat is pouring down her brow. As she tosses and turns for a while, she finally drifts off to sleep.
When she wakes up suddenly without warning, she turns over and looks at the clock. It says, 3:01 a.m., so she tries her hardest to go back to sleep. Even though she tosses and turns, sometime in the next several hours, she manages to not notice the sheets covering her body slowly.
As she starts dreaming vividly again, she begins to feel a hand slide up her leg ever so slowly, over her stomach and up to her breasts. However, when a pair of lips kiss her faintly on hers and then she hears a gentle whisper in the air, she gasps. Warmth spreads all over her sensitive skin and then the invisible hand slides back down between her legs, making her feel sinfully delicious all over.
Gasping again, she feels lips kiss softly where the hand had been just a minute before. Moisture spreads all over between her legs, as she moans softly and closes her eyes. Reaching out to touch the person, she realizes that no one is there and then she hears the whisper again before she wakes up.
Realizing that she is not asleep, she looks around the room cautiously. When she hears the whisper again, it dawns on her that it is coming from under her sheets on the bed. Slowly, while her hands shake uncontrollably, she pulls back the sheets slowly. Looking cautiously, she finds absolutely nothing and feels relieved. After sighing, she lays back down on her satiny sheets and tries to sleep for a few minutes.
“Kelly!” The voice yells this time.
Bolting up in bed, she looks to her right where the end table is. As she reaches over to turn it on, the light switch will not budge. Hearing the airy male voice again, she begins to shake even more.
Thinking to herself, “What could it be? The ghost? What does it want with me?” She scratches her right earlobe before she thinks of what to do.
Making a snap decision, she cries out loud, “What do you want from me?”
There is a long eerie silence, then suddenly she hears a soft sound coming from under the sheets. She moves closer and listens as the ghost whispers, “Love me.” and then she faints.
Before she wakes up again, the ghost fills her head with many steamy dreams. In the last, he asks sadly, “Can you love me? This is all I want.”
When she replies lovingly, “Yes, I will do anything for you.” He takes her in his warm, strong arms and devours her lips in his.
At that very moment, Samantha walks in the front door and hears her talking softly to someone else. It sounds like she is having a conversation with someone in her room, so she begins to wonder, “Did she have a nighttime guest?” Smirking, she automatically suspects that Grayson must be staying the night.
Curious, Samantha knocks on the bedroom door loudly and then calls out to Kelly. When no one answers, she asks again, louder this time, “Kelly, who are you talking to?”
When she doesn’t hear her speak, Samantha opens the bedroom door and watches as Kelly talks in her sleep. She laughs before waking her up.
Bewildered, Kelly scans the room carefully and then glances at Samantha before asking quietly, “Where is he?”
Samantha looks at her confused with a furrowed brow, “Who are you talking about?”
“The man that was just here in my room.” Kelly cries out as she stares at Samantha in disbelief.
Freaking out, Samantha backs up and looks around frantically. “What is Kelly talking about? She clearly is still half asleep.”
Trying her hardest to snap her out of it, Samantha shakes her and states, “Kelly, wake up. Come on now.” before she finally seems to wake up.
Standing up, she climbs out of bed and then turns to Samantha before stating flatly, “I am alright now. I promise. I just must have been dreaming. Get some sleep.”
She gives Samantha a big hug before walking her out and then she shuts her bedroom door. As she leans her back up against the hard wood, she thinks about the man from her dreams and how good it felt when he touched her.
At the same time, Samantha worries about her sister, but at this point she is too tired to continue. So, she flops on her bed without even taking off her clothes and falls fast asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow. In the meantime, Kelly is unable to sleep the rest of the night as she sits there, staring out the window into the darkness.
In the morning, the girls wake up and get ready before Kelly drives them to school. On the way out, she does not wake up her sister because Samantha sounds as if she has had a long night at work. Driving back home, Kelly decides to stop at the bakery and pick up some jelly filled donuts as a surprise.
As she enters the coffee shop, she smells the delicious aromas and realizes how hungry she is, so she licks her lips and orders several.
Raising her voice, she says politely to the attendant while smiling, “I would like a dozen doughnuts and 2 cups of coffee, please.”
When she pulls out the money for her order, the young man behind the counter who looks to be in his twenties, smiles at her. Returning the smile, she yells, “Have a good day.” As she grabs the bag and then rushes out the door.
As soon as she arrives home, she puts things away and sets out the doughnuts for her, then she proceeds to knock on Samantha’s door loudly. Crying out, “Wake up, I have a treat for you. Come and get it.”
Pretty soon Samantha scuffles out in her fuzzy pink slippers and sniffs the air before she smiles.
“Oh, yum! Thank you, so much!” She exclaims before she sits down at the table and begins to stuff her mouth hungrily. After Samantha has a full stomach and some coffee in her, she sits back and relaxes for a time. Eyeing Kelly, she asks hesitantly, “So, what were you dreaming about last night? It seems like you were dreaming about some mystery man. Or do I know him?”
Because it sounds strongly like she is hinting that maybe Kelly was dreaming about Grayson, they both laugh unconvincingly and then it becomes silent for a few seconds.
When Kelly takes a deep breathe, she closes her eyes before announcing quietly, “Well, I’m sure we have a ghost. I even know who it is because I checked it out at the library. Do you want to see?” as she pulls out the piece of paper and points out the article to Samantha.
“What do you mean, you know who it is?” Samantha asks quietly while she looks at her with instant interest.
Shifting in her seat, Kelly adds quickly, “I know this sounds crazy, but I have been talking to him. I don’t know if it is in my dreams or while I’m awake. Either way, I am still communicating with a ghost.”
Suddenly, Samantha shakes her head in disbelief before asking, “What does this Carlos Dego want from you?”
Sounding crazy enough, Kelly states flatly, “Carlos, said he wants me to love him. Just love him.”
Stopping for a minute, she wonders if she should tell Samantha that he has made love to her in her dreams. “Is that too weird and would she think I am nuts?”
Listening intently, Samantha sits there quietly, taking it all in, but she does not seriously believe her sister. Maybe she has too much time on her hands or just needs to get laid. Either way, Samantha wonders if she needs to get her sister and Grayson together and quickly. After all, he seems like a nice guy, and he is handsome. Not to mention, she can tell he likes Kelly quite a bit. If they got together, hopefully she would stop dreaming about ghost lovers finally.
After sitting there silently for a few minutes, Kelly glances at her and says softly, “By the way, you know the guy across the street? We had sex.” and then while she giggles like a schoolgirl, her cheeks become red.
Shocked, Samantha asks quietly with a smirk on her lips, “So, is he good?” K
Nodding, Kelly continues to giggle while Samantha asks sarcastically, “How many times have you had sex?”
As Kelly starts to get hot all over, she replies quickly, “Just the one day, but we had sex 3 times. That man is absolutely a marathon runner in bed. Now, don’t worry, I went over to his house when the kids were in school so that you wouldn’t have to hear it.”
Samantha raises a brow before asking with a grin on her face, “Why haven’t you told me before this? I want to hear it all when we have more time.”
Sighing, she adds as an afterthought, “Ugh, I almost can’t wait, but I’ve got a doctor’s appointment in a few minutes so I must hurry and get ready before I am late.”
Smiling, Kelly hugs her, and then states softly, “No problem, we’ll talk when you have more time. By all means, go get ready.” Kelly says as she gestures for Samantha to leave.
