The Eternity that Follows

by Diane Marie

  Gabriella laughed lightly to Joey’s words as Joey pulled down Gabriella’s shorts, and she extended her toes to be sexily as he slid them off her feet. Joey slid his hand up and down Gabriella’s legs, with a warm loving touch. Gabriella undid Joey’s buckle, buttons and zipper as she yanked at his pants till they were around his feet. Joey then removed his pants, then slidding down Gabriella’s panties slowly, kissing her down her legs. Gabriella extended her toes to be sexy again, and Joey grunted in approval, assuring she indeed turned him on when she did so. Gabriella then took off Joey’s boxers as she was the one to remove them from around his ankles, throw them to the floor. Joey took off Gabriella’s bra and said,

  “the best for last,” as he grabbed her breasts cupping them with his fingers and palms.

  Joey pinched both nipples with both hands, and then placed his arm around Gabriella’s lower back, holding her tight. Gabriella posited herself for Joey to enter inside of her, making herself comfortable. Joey looked into Gabriella’s eyes, “forever?” He questioned before he entered.

  “Forever.” Gabriella replied, closing her eyes and kissing Joey a vow of eternity.

  Joey slid into Gabriella gently, soon finding her g-spot. Gabriella was in sheer pleasure as Joey was making love all over her body with his mouth, while holding her tightly close to him. “Right there.” Gabriella confessed, when Joey hit her spot. “Oh yeah?” Joey teased, hitting her spot harder.

  Gabriella clung her fingertips into Joey’s back, making sure not to use her nails for she didn’t want to cause him pain. Joey continued to hit her spot, feeling good as well.

  “I love you.” Joey said, opening up his eyes and looking into Gabriella’s.

  Gabriella opened her eyes and looked into Joey’s. Joey looked into Gabriella’s eyes, trying to find their dead center, Gabriella did the same. When their eyes met at both their dead centers, they both found complete trust in another.

  “I trust you, Joey.” Gabriella said.

  Joey continued on, hitting her spot. Gabriella’s fingertips pressed harder into Joey’s back.

  “You like that, don’t you?” Joey said, still looking into Gabriella’s eyes. “I trust you too.” Joey admitted, while seeing down to her soul. Gabriella felt Joey’s soul looking into hers as she felt lifelessly, eternity bound with Joey.

  “Eternity?”

  “Eternity.” Joey concluded, continuing to hit Gabriella’s spot. Joey started to hit her spot harder causing Gabriella to orgasm. Gabriella let out the moans of the sexual pleasure Joey had casted upon her. Joey reached his climax, and quickly cuddled Gabriella in his arms.

  “When will we have babies?” Joey asked Gabriella, while tenderly rubbing her back.

  “When we’re ready.”

  “When’s that going to be?”

  “I don’t know, after we’re married.” Gabriella said, not sure when she would be ready for a baby.

  “All right.” Joey said, kissing Gabriella’s forehead good night. Gabriella gave Joey a sweet enduring kiss on the lips.

  “Good night, my love.”

  “Good night, Mrs. Faithful.” Joey said, remembering back to Vinny and how he believed in his heart, Gabriella would always be faithful.

  Chapter Sixteen

  When Gabriella woke up, Joey wasn’t in bed. Figuring it must be late, Gabriella looked at the alarm clock, noting it was eleven- thirty in the morning. Gabriella soon spotted Joey sitting at the desk in nothing but his boxers. Gabriella went over and kissed his shoulders as she wrapped her arms around his back. “What are you doing silly? Come lay with me in bed.” Gabriella said.

  “I’m writing up my guest list. I’m going to have to make a few phone calls to get all the addresses.” Joey said, holding up his address book.

  “You keep an address book Joe?”

  “Yeah of course, don’t you?”

  “Well no. My mom has one downstairs. I never thought to have my own.” Gabriella said, thinking how it was cute that Joey kept an address book.

  “Well now I don’t have that luxury.”

  “Aww baby. Well I guess, I’ll never have my own address book now will I? You know married couples only keep one.” “Yeah, I guess I’ll have to get rid of my black book then.” “You’re not funny Joey. You don’t really have one, do you?” Gabriella asked, letting go of her hold on Joey from behind. “Nope. No girls were worth getting their digits.”

  “Right.”

  “That doesn’t make you feel special?” Joey asked, standing up and grabbing Gabriella, who was naked, and brining her into his arms. “Maybe.”

  “Didn’t I show you how special you are to me last night?” “Show me again?”

  “Well of course.” Joey said, taking Gabriella to the bed.

  Joey and Gabriella were unable to keep their hands off each other since the moment they met, this morning was no different. Joey got a little creative this time with Gabriella, trying new positions. Gabriella felt like she was walking on a cloud when they were fulfilled. Joey had been so loving and attentive, she couldn’t help herself, but to tell him how much she loved him, over and over again. They lied in bed for awhile until there was a knock on Gabriella’s door. Both Gabriella and Joey threw clothes on quickly. Gabriella went to unlock the door, and called out ‘come in’ as she was walking back over to sit on the bed.

  It was Gabriella’s father at the door.

  “Hey Joey, Hello Gabriella. We’re barbequing today, dinners at two-thirty, and Gab your in charge of the zucchini. So make sure it’s done by then.”

  “No problem dad.” Gabriella said. Her father then closed the door.

  “So your family eats early on Sundays?”

  “Yes, very Italian of us no?”

  “I like that. My mom always made Sunday gravy and we ate early.”

  “Oh we usually have macaroni but it varies in the summer.” “All right, we’ll go get cooking. I have phone calls to make anyway.”

  “Fine.” Gabriella said, showing Joey she didn’t want to leave him. “Love you.” Joey said, puckering his lips out for a kiss.

  Gabriella gently kissed Joey’s lips.

  “Love you too.” Gabriella said. She then walked out of the room, only to come right back in.

  “Hey thought you were going to cook?”

  “Well I have some time. I’m going to go take a quick shower.” Gabriella announced, walking into the bathroom.

  “I’m coming.” Joey said, following her into the bathroom.

  Gabriella ran the water, and took off the clothes she had thrown on from last night when her father knocked on the door to the ground.

  “I said a quick shower.” Gabriella said, noticing Joey was getting naked too.

  “All right, a quick shower.”

  “I mean it Joe.”

  “Gab. I’m fulfilled.” Joey said, wrapping his arms around her lower waist and pulling her close.

  Gabriella gave him a kiss on the check, and then unwrapped his arms. She then hoped into the shower, with Joey following after. Gabriella got her hair wet, and stepped out of the water so Joey could get himself wet. As Joey was under the water, Gabriella lathered her hair with shampoo.

  “Skaddle.” Gabriella said, moving her hand, fingernails facing up with a wave as her hand turned over now, now with her palm facing up.

  “All right, you don’t have to be so mean.” Joey said, cutely, moving out of the water.

  Gabriella poured shampoo into Joey’s hand, while standing under the water rinsing her own hair. When Gabriella’s hair was rinsed, she gave Joey the water and put conditioner in her hair. While she was waiting for the conditioner to set for a few minutes, she lathered up her body with her body wash, and cleaned herself. “Need any help with that?” Joey asked, letting the power massager pound on his back.

  “Baby, I said a quick shower.” Gabriella said, quick to realized Joey looked upset. “Can you turn the water back to the rinse setting please so I can rinse off?”

  Joey changed the
setting for Gabriella, and then took the body wash she offered him. Gabriella rinsed herself, and then left Joey in the shower while he was washing his body. Gabriella dried off, put her hair up in a towel and then wrapped another towel around her body. Gabriella knew, Joey had expected more intimacy in the shower so she waited for him with a towel outside of the shower doors. When Joey was done, Gabriella handed him the towel and gave him a loving kiss with tongue. She wanted to show Joey, she too wished they had more time to be intimate in the shower.

  “You at least could have washed me, or even watched me.” Joey said, in his cute voice, while giving Gabriella a puppy dog look, suggesting she had hurt his feelings.

  “Sweetie pie we have our whole lives to take showers together.” “Well can you at least promise we can get in there tonight?” Joey said, letting his eyes light up while he pointed to the hot pink hot tub in the bathroom.

  “Yes my little baby, anything to make you happy.” Gabriella said, as she yanked down Joey’s towel in a playful mood.

  “Oh you think you’re funny.” Joey said, chasing Gabriella out of the bathroom and into the bedroom.

  Joey grabbed Gabriella, smacked her onto the bed, and he began tickling her. Gabriella began to laugh hard.

  “Joey, stop it.”

  “Nope.”

  “Please?” Gabriella requested, taking a firm hold of both of Joey’s wrist.

  “Hey how did you do that?” Joey asked, acting surprised Gabriella was able to grab a hold of his wrists.

  “I don’t know.”

  “I know how.” Joey said, as though they were playing detective. “I let you.” He said, he then easily shook off Gabriella’s hold over his wrists. He tickled her again, but only for a moment and said, “because I can.”

  “I really thought I had you.” Gabriella said, laughing to herself. “Go make your zucchini.” Joey instructed.

  Gabriella started following his orders, but first gave him a kiss on the check.

  “So cute.” She said, and then she squeezed his checks.

  Gabriella then got dressed quickly, leaving Joey behind in their bedroom, lingering behind, feeling adored by her.

  When Gabriella got back to the room, she handed Joey a cup of coffee and a banana. She placed her own coffee down on the night stand.

  “I got all the addresses.” Joey said, proud to inform. “Even my mothers. I talked to my brother and he’s going to see if she wants to go out to dinner next Sunday. I’ll only go if you go.” “Of course, do you think she’d want to go?”

  “Yeah, she’s been trying for years. I just hope I don’t have to see my step father.” Joey said.

  Gabriella gave a smile showing she was pleased she’d be meeting his mother. “Maybe we should go downstairs and join your family.” Joey suggested. “I haven’t seen much of them since I’ve been living here.”

  “Ok, but first.” Gabriella said, clicking a random shot with her camera of Joey as he was sitting on the bed sipping his coffee. “Hey what was that for?” Joey asked, going to grab the camera from Gabriella to see the candid shot she had just taken. “For your Facebook silly. Perfect” Gabriella said, while she and Joey looked at the picture she had just taken.

  “That is actually a good shot.” Joey admitted. “Here take more.” Joey requested.

  Joey stood up, placed down his coffee, and then put his body and face into a pose.

  “You’re perfect.”

  “You think?” Joey questioned, posing again for Gabriella to take another picture.

  “Well, perfect for me.” Gabriella said, kissing his nose while taking a shot of them, holding the camera out far with her arm. “Oh that one must be cute.” Joey said, still feeling adored.

  Gabriella took a few more pictures of Joey, and then she had the brilliant idea of setting the timer on her camera, propping it on the desk.

  “Hey sit down on the bed.”

  “All right.” Joey said, aware of what Gabriella was planning on doing.

  Gabriella sat on Joey’s lap, and they both faced the camera. “Okay. It’s going to take three pictures two seconds apart. Starting. . .”

  Gabriella saw the red of the flash began to go off, and stopped her sentence to smile for the picture. Joey also saw, the picture was going to go off and he too smiled for the picture. When the flash went off the second time, Gabriella turned her head, and gave Joey a kiss on the check while Joey raised one eyebrow, suggesting to the camera, he was one lucky guy. When the flash went off the third time, Joey placed his lips gently on Gabriella’s shoulder causing Gabriella to smile with delight, as she turned her head downward and to the side.

  When they were done, they took a look through of all the pictures.

  “I love this one.” Joey said, when they reached the last picture. “I love them all. You’re one hot subject.”

  “I really love this one.” Joey said, continuing on to look at the last picture. Gabriella took a second look at the picture. She noticed, she and Joey looked very naturally in love.

  “It is a good picture, very natural.”

  “Can we upload this onto Facebook now?”

  “I have to go stir the zucchini, and it’s almost time to eat so we should get downstairs, but I promise as soon as were done eating we can.”

  “Oh fine.” Joey said, with a cute face.

  Joey and Gabriella began walking down the stairs toward the kitchen. “Does your Facebook say in a relationship or engaged?”

  “Engaged, silly.” Gabriella said, when they reached the bottom of the steps.

  Gabriella looked at Joey, he was smiling with sheer happiness.

  “Good.”

  Joey and Gabriella made their way outside to the patio. “Hey there they are.” Linda said, delighted to have her daughter and her fiancé join them before dinner.

  “Even though he’s living under our roof we barely get to see him.” George commented, on Joey’s late hours of work.

  “We’ll we were home all day yesterday but you guys weren’t.” Gabriella pointed out “Joey did however get to meet Mary, is she home today?” Gabriella asked.

  “Yes. She’s downstairs getting dressed. She’ll be up in time for dinner.” Linda said, filling Gabriella in.

  “Joey, do you want something to drink? Gabriella, get Joey a drink.” George said, pointing over to the outside bar. “Thanks for asking me dad.”

  “What do you guys have?” Joey asked, looking over to the bar, and noticing there were a few blended drinks in glass pitchers. “Well, we have strawberry daiquiris, pina colodas, and spiked fruit punch.” Linda said.

  “Wow.”

  “Linda got a new mix drink blender thing at one of those Tubberware like parties a few weeks ago, and she’s been buying drink mixes and blending things up ever since. I’ve spent a fortune on alcohol, since.” George said, laughing. Joey also laughed at George’s comment.

  “Which one do you suggest most?” Joey said, looking at Linda. “I like the fruit punch the best. There’s real fruit in there you know plus a few different alcohols.” Linda said, then giving George a look in regards to the alcohol comment he had made moments before.

  “Come on Joey, you can take a sip of all three and then decided.” Gabriella said, taking Joey’s hand into her own.

  “All right.” Joey said, letting off a smile for Gabriella’s parents to see how happy he was, Gabriella had taken his hand.

  Gabriella led Joey over to the bar, and Joey sampled all three mixed drinks, deciding on the fruit punch. Gabriella poured herself a strawberry daiquiri, topping it off with the whipped cream placed at the bar.

  “Let me get some?” Joey asked Gabriella, when she was finished swirling whipped cream on top of her drink.

  “Sure.” Gabriella said. She dipped her finger into the whipped cream swirled over her drink, and then smeared it on Joey’s nose. Joey started to laugh.

  “Lick it off.”

  “Nope.”

  “Hey.” Joey said, with a cut puppy dog face.<
br />
  “Oh fine.” Gabriella said, feeling she couldn’t say no to how irresistible Joey’s puppy dog face was.

  Gabriella licked Joey’s nose, then licking her lips and said, “yummy.” She then took a napkin off the bar and wiped Joey’s nose for him. Joey was tempted to grab the whipped cream off the table and swirl it on Gabriella’s head, but thought it was best to behave.

  “You’re lucky.” He said.

  “Oh how so.”

  “You’re lucky your parents are outside and I haven’t squirted whipped cream down your shirt yet.”

  “Yet?”

  “Yeah. I plan on going out to the store later and getting us a can of whipped cream for tonight.” Joey said, with a smirk. “Oh really?” Gabriella asked, not waiting for an answer as she walked back to the table where her parents were sitting, and sat down.

  Joey followed as soon as he was able to shake the thought of licking whipped cream off of Gabriella’s body out of his head. Joey sat down next to Gabriella.

  Joey enjoyed his time with Gabriella’s parents, and her sister. He felt accepted by them, and was pleased they would be his family soon. George had called him son, making Joey feel tremendously happy he viewed him that way. They spent most of the dinner discussing wedding plans, and Gabriella felt a lot of pressure from her mother. Her mother commented, tomorrow was August sixth and the wedding was September twenty-second. That put a lot of pressure on Gabriella to get everything done in time.

  When Joey and Gabriella got back to her room, Gabriella uploaded the pictures from her camera onto the computer, and then asked Joey to log into his Facebook account. Joey wasn’t as eager as he had been before about putting the pictures up. His mind was still on the idea that George had called him son. Joey logged into his Facebook account, and saw the comment Gabriella left him days before.

  “You left me a comment?”

  “Of course, I missed you.” Gabriella said, sitting down on Joey’s lap.

  “I feel special.”

  “That was the point.”

  Gabriella uploaded the pictures from her computer onto Joey’s account. She then tagged herself in the pictures she was in so her friends on Facebook could get a good look at Joey. After, she set Joey’s profile picture to the last of the three they had taken. She then went to Josh’s page, clicked on his friends list, and instructed Joey to friend request everyone of Josh’s friends page he knew.
