Chapter 6 - Just Us
~~§§~~
I was so happy to see Victor when he came when Sue called him for me. He was caring and gentle and didn’t ask me anything. He just asked me if I was okay. And that is all I wanted. I wanted to have someone to talk to when I was ready to. I know Sue told him I had an unexpected visitor at the diner. He held me in his arms and I felt safe. He just kept saving me. I did not want to talk to my father. I had accepted that he was gone. Why did he have to come now? I wanted nothing at all from him, nothing. But deep inside, I did wonder why now? Why when my life was looking good with Victor, his karate kids and being there to support him and finally meet his father. A week ago, he asked me if I wanted to meet his father. I said sure why not? I wonder what dirty secrets I could find out about you. “Good luck with that,” he confides. “He won’t rat on me. He’s my dad.” Well, surprise surprise, the joke was on Victor. His dad was a funny man. He had lots to say. He sang out all his secrets, found out when Victor was learning karate that he kept falling on his butt. His legs would be up in the air. He was four years old when he started to learn karate. He told me when he was twelve he won his first tournament and how proud he was of him. From that time, he just kept winning. I could see the face of a proud father, one which I envied and wished I had either my mom or my dad. But with my dad coming so unexpectedly, what did he think I was going to do? Run into his arms and hug and kiss him like nothing happened? He hurt me in a way. I have trust issues, I guess. But not Victor. I am in love with him and I know he loves me. Every time I see him my heart skips a beat. I never felt like this with Ray. I guess Victor fills the void in my life, where I didn’t believe in love because of a failed relationship with my father and with Ray. I didn’t trust myself, but Victor made me realize that there were still good men out there with morals that I could trust.
Before we left, his father asked to talk to him privately, so I excused myself, said I would be right back, and was going to the ladies’ room. I gave them their privacy. We stayed there for about two hours and he looks at me and I laughed and went and told him. “See I told you he would tell me secrets. He told me more when you were checking on his chart with the nurse.” I giggled like I knew a lot. His father was a proud father and it showed.
You were such an interesting teenager. He acted like he was horrified that his father had told me. I kept laughing. I can’t believe you took part in so many competitions and won. He asked me if I was surprised.
“Not at all,” I replied. “The way you handled that man who tried to attack me the night we met. There are no doubts in my mind at all. I’m just surprised you didn’t tell me. And you have a lot of trophies? Where do you keep them? I haven’t seen them at your place?” Victor then told me he keeps them in “plain sight.” Then it hit me.
“They’re in the studio, huh?” Along with the other trophies the kids had won. “Good place for them. It shows the kids what they too can get. I can see why you’re so good. Why do you call your place “Karate Studio”? Why not some other name?”
“I’m a simple person. I don’t need fancy wording to get clients. I love what I do. The name’s not going to teach the kids you see there. A lot of them come from broken homes, and the streets. I’m giving them a chance to prepare themselves for a positive life. Some kids can’t afford the lessons, but I don’t turn them away. I get paid when they win in competitions. How many of those trophies are yours? I was blind to that little detail. Guess when I go back, I will be sure to look, I thought.
It was a great visit, not like my father’s. Victor took me home, and I invited him inside. We sat on my sofa, and he just held me tight, like a mother would comfort a child. It was a welcoming feeling to feel so beloved. Did he love me? Victor looked at me and with gentle care asked me, “What happened? Sue told me some, but I want to hear it from you, not her. Is that asking too much?”
I stop him from talking. I gently kissed him, which started a spark. He started to caressing me while he was kissing me. I couldn’t hold back anymore. I went for his shirt and unbuttoned them one by one, and then he got the hint. He was ready as well. He whispered “Are you sure?” I didn’t answer, I went to grab him to see if he was ready and through his pants, I could feel the hardness of his shaft that was hot and huge, just waiting to please me. I was grateful we were at my place, no one to interfere. I just wanted to be loved, no pity, especially not from Victor. He picked me up and carried me to my bedroom. And we didn’t undress right away. He was making a game of it. And it was pure torture. He told me he had wanted to do this a long time ago, but was waiting for me to give the okay. He said, “I hope you are ready because I think I have blue balls from all those kisses we have shared in the past.”
I giggled, and said to him. “I am all yours. Do as you please with me. My body is begging for you. I want you, Victor. I have wanted you from the first time I saw you. I just didn’t want you to think I was an easy la…” He stopped me from talking. He kissed me so passionately it was making my toes curl up. I knew I was getting hot, and my mound was getting swollen with excitement at what he was doing to me. Then while he was kissing me, his shirt came off. I just started to kiss him all over his chest and his nipples. My tongue was all over his trail of hairline that led to the point I had wanted for so long. I wasn’t shy, that is for sure. I took off my shirt. He unsnapped my bra and he grabbed my breast and put it in his mouth, sucking and licking around my areola, making it harden up and tingle. He was torturing me for all the months we hadn’t kissed, and now we were about to make love. I then realized who this man was I had gotten to know. I loved him. I wanted to be with him. He was there for me. He hadn’t taken anything from me, and he gave more than he took. How stupid I was all those months. He had been there for me from day one, since the night of the attack.
I couldn’t deny him his pleasure, but it was killing me inside. I was ready to bust. I told him with a heavy sexy voice “If I cum before you get inside me, it’s entirely your fault.”
“Oh, we can’t have that,” he replied. So he rushed to take off his pants and like I had felt and imagined, he was gorgeous. His body was like a Greek God, so muscular, and toned and eyeing him head to toe and stopping in the middle, I was practically drooling.
“I need you Victor, now!” cried. So in two moves, he was on top of me, kissing me, making sure I was naked underneath him. He took off my panties for me. He stopped me when I was doing it. He pulled them off with his teeth, and said, “Sexy panties. What else are you hiding from me?” He, started to tease me by rubbing the tip of his cock up and down my clitoris. It was driving me insane. And finally he started to enter me. I didn’t scream. I let out an ‘Ahhh yes’. “YES, don’t stop God please don’t stop.” He was on fire as well we were in rhythm with our hearts and it was so good to be fulfilled inside my heart. Victor was going in slow and deep, and faster and faster. I couldn’t hold back anymore. And he and I came at the same time. He collapsed on top of me and pulled out and lay on his back. I was as sweaty as he was. He looked over at me with a grin. I played with him and asked, “That’s it?” Then he growled at me and said, “Oh, you want more now, do you?” And he wasn’t kidding. I started laughing, telling him. “Give me ten minutes. You took all the breath away. That was the best sex I’ve had in a long time.” And he admitted to me he could get used to doing this all night long. Then I heard a small voice from him. “Sophia, I love you, I don’t want this to never end.” I was thinking, What do you mean? “I mean us Sophia, we are good together, and I know you love me,” he continued. “I feel it, and that you do. I want us to be together always, forever.”
“Ah, Victor, I don’t want it to ever end either. I love you so much and I didn’t think I would love again. You gave me time to adjust to us being together. Maybe we waited a bit longer to get to this. I love making love to you. And I want this all the time.” You showed me what love is really about. Not a quicky and you’re off. I know I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be here as long a
s you want me to be, Victor. I am officially all yours.”
“I have never met a woman like you, Sophia. You have so much to give and it was sad your ex did not see it. I felt it, boy did I feel it. You are incredible, and I really want you to be in my life. The short time I have gotten to know you, you brought me back down from a cloud, that now I see things more clearly. You were right to wait, this was perfect, I hope you don’t regret it” Oh how can he say that to me, so I quickly go on top of him, and I kiss him all over again, and on my belly I feel a rise of him that was just moments ago inside me.
We made love several times through the night and we ordered a pizza just about inhaled it. We were so hungry from all the sex we had. We needed our energy, well more like I did. He was ready again after his last slice. I told him “Let me eat” he said “Okay, I will eat elsewhere.” And that grin and smile he was up to something. Then I feel his tongue licking me with kisses straight down to my engorged area and I feel his tongue exploring inside me. “Tells me go ahead and eat I am having my dessert.” If he can torture me like this every day I will die happy.
Chapter 7 – The Underground Battle
~~§§~~
Hearing Victor proclaim his love to me and how much I meant to him was the best night of my life. The night was a restful night of love between us. He was talking about being together like marriage? I don’t think I’m ready for that just yet. But I do love him with such passion, more than I can ever have from another person other than family. He is my only family. I came to love his father; we would go to visit him once a week and he loved it when we came by. He was always talking about Victor as a child to me. Victor would try to stop his dad from telling me stories but he let him. So I just think he was just playing it up, wanting someone else to tell me about him from their side.
The nurse came in, wanting to speak to Victor privately. They both left. I stayed with his father, and he was joking with me telling me, “Oh now they are going to tell him how bad I’ve been. How I keep flirting with the ladies and how they are all fighting over me now.” We both laughed together. He started asking me how serious I was about his son. I told him I loved him like no other, loved him more than life itself. He smiled and told me “That’s good. The day the good Lord decides to take me, I know Victor will be happy with you. I hope one day to see you both married with kids. I have no grandchildren. I hope to be around to see them.” I was stunned. It seemed like he knew how serious Victor was about me. Already talking about marriage to his father, about us? I really wanted us to be together, but marriage was a huge step for me. I was caught in a whirlwind of possibilities about what could go right and what could go wrong. But I keep getting the good. Right then Victor walked in and saw my face go blank. He asked his father what happened. “Nothing,” I said. “I was just thinking, that’s all, no harm. Your father is a great charmer, you should be proud to have him in your life.”
“It’s getting late,” Victor told his dad. “Sophia and I have a dinner we have to go to. I had this look on my face saying ‘what are you talking about’?
“I don’t recall you mentioning dinner to me,” I said in a whisper to him. Then he gave his father a hug and a kiss. I did the same and he whispered in my ear, “Take care of him.” I promised him I would.
Victor took my hand as we were walking out, which wasn’t strange normally, but what was strange was his silence. He was always chirper after seeing his father. We walked to the car in silence. Then I asked him, if everything was okay. He assured me all was well. “If I had to work tonight,” I said. “I am scheduled to work, but I can call in if you need me.”
“Just this once,” he said. “I really need to talk to you. I need your support okay.” I told him of course, that he always had my support. “Okay, let’s go,” he said. “I have something nice planned.” When he said that it made me feel better like he was trying to please me only, but I was excited by what he might have planned.
Along the way, he stopped at the store. “Stay in the car,” he said. I did, but wondered what he could possibly be doing having me wait in the car. Then within ten minutes, he returned and had nothing with him.
“What did you get?”
“You will see in due time,” he replied. Boy, he was making me nervous. Then I thought he might have got me a ring. OMG, he is going to pop the question to me. I got all nervous and he said, “It’s okay, why are you so nervous and jumpy?” I didn’t answer him. Then he got it, saying to himself, Oh, she thinks I’m going to ask her to marry me. I’d love to, but I know she’s not ready for that sort of commitment. I just want to make her happy. I do have to tell her that I have a competition coming up in Seattle, Washington for my belt. I’m still a teacher and a businessman. I have to continue teaching what I love. Everyday these kids I am teaching are getting better, and they are working so hard on their moves for their next bout. I had completely forgotten my competition was coming up in a week’s time. I have to train, harder now to get back to my routine. Sophia was an unexpected bonus in my life and I don’t regret having her with me, but I know she will be a distraction.
We made it to my house, which was more private than his. Victor was still thinking to himself. I know she’s been practicing the self-defense moves I have showed her. She is getting good at it. She talks about getting the rest of the girls to do it too. Since the Diner really has no security at all, it will help the girls to be safe if they know how to protect themselves. Since the night of the attack, Hugo has been walking the girls to their cars. But who is there to protect Hugo? Yes he is a big man, and very intimating looking, but just because you are tall does not mean anything. I should know. I have knocked out guys twice his size not in the ring but in the streets, where I fought others in an underground karate ring to get the money I needed to start my Karate Studio. He realized he had never told Sophia. This fight will be the last fight I will have to do if I win. It will give me enough money to keep the studio going. The prize money is $500,000. I have to give it a chance. These places are no joke. Peter heard about it and Dan did too. We, the three of us are going to try out for it. We have to, to save our kids and our studio.
Once inside, I went to make some coffee. I said I was a bit cold and I knew I was just giving an excuse. “Okay, this surprise dinner, do I have to dress up?” I asked. It was a fair question and this dinner was with all the people who were going to the match.
Since it was an underground event, Victor really couldn’t talk about it. It was an illegal tournament that only the best of the best were notified about.
“Sophia, if you don’t want to go or feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to, you know,” he said. I was thinking as he was saying that, What if something happens to him and I am not there.
“I’m going. Plus, I can see you in action kicking someone’s butt, and hopefully you don’t get hurt, nor Dan or Peter. Victor, I am going, because I want to be with you, and support you in this. I admired your dedication to the kids and I saw they all mean a lot to you three.”
“Sophia, I may get hurt, so might Dan and Peter, but we are going to give it a shot because we love to do what we do, and give the kids a future off the streets.” I just go and hug him.
“I’ll hurry and get dressed,” I replied. “I’ll be right back.”
As I was dressing, I knew Victor had been training for a long time, as well as Dan and Peter. I just couldn’t shake off the idea of them getting hurt. Times like this, I wished there was another way, so they didn’t get hurt. But he told me last night they did manage to raise almost $1500 in two different occasions in car wash drives. But it wasn’t enough. Being at the watching end, it’s going to be hard to watch, but I know I have to support him any way I can. I finished dressing and when I came out of my room, Victor’s eyes practically popped out of his sockets. “He said you can’t go dressed like that; the other men will try to fight me for you.” He was laughing so I knew he was teasing me, but I almost took him seriously. I was dressed in a long elegant dress w
here the top made my breasts just about pop out. My shawl was a see through cover, but not enough to cover me completely. “Do you want me to change?” I asked with a grin. “If you want, but if you stay in that outfit, nobody will eat. They’ll be looking at you all night. You look amazing and I don’t feel like fighting for my desert.”
“Okay, I don’t want to be the cause of that. I’ll change. I’ll leave this outfit for you only.’ He sighed with his face just stuck on me. So I walked, well almost ran to my room, laughing because I already knew he was going to say that, and I already had another outfit picked out. He responded the way I wanted him to. I was smiling as I dressed in a simple black dress, but not like my last one, which practically screamed, “Love me”. Well, in my mind, if this dinner wasn’t so important, I’d have had other ideas. I am pretty sure he was thinking the same thing.
I was dressed the way he liked so no one could see anymore of me. Just for him only. I was happy with him. On the ride to the dinner party, Victor asked me what was wrong, since I had been quiet since getting into the car. I was worried. I didn’t know anything about these underground fighting matches. If it was legal, a lot of people would know about it. Since it wasn’t, I worried he was going to get hurt, his friends also. Karate mixed in with boxing can be very lethal. I see how they fought in practice matches against each other. They were not engaged in full contact since the fight was coming up so soon. They didn’t really want to hurt themselves or each other. They were doing this for the gym, for the love of karate, for the kids who wanted to learn. It was way better than being at home playing video games, or worse being in a gang, getting into trouble. They had given so much of themselves to this Karate Studio that it was their lives. It was what made them wake up every day to go in to practice and help the neighborhood kids, and not selfish in anyway. He gave of himself so much to these kids, that it just made you want to help them out. I could see why it was so important to him.
