Dexter
After the startling realization that he finally knew what finding his “one” true love meant, Dexter had slept over at Jessie’s. He didn’t want her thinking that he wasn’t actually okay and knew that the surest way to do that was to stay with her the whole night, being the good boyfriend. The next morning, he awoke to her kisses on his neck, and her soft, warm skin pushing against him.
“You’ve got work soon,” she whispered after slowly moving up to his lips.
He nodded, yawning. She waited patiently for him to finish, sliding back a bit as he stretched his sleepy muscles. Smacking his lips after the yawn, he forced himself to sit up and rubbed his eyes.
“Dexter,” she said, drawing his gaze. “I’m really sorry about… you know.”
He smiled, lifting her chin with a single finger. “It’s okay honey. It was my fault. Honestly. Plus, it’s just not that big of a deal to me anymore. I’ve… had an epiphany. Well, I mean I had one last night.” He’d been trying to sound as if he were okay with everything.
She still looked a little sad and apprehensive though, so he drew her face up once again so he could look her in the eyes.
“Jessie, it’s okay, I promise. The only thing I’m still wrestling with is feeling like I’m not being fair to you.”
She smiled finally, nodding up at him, but then her expression changed to one of confusion. “Wait, how are you not being fair to me?”
He sighed, gathering his thoughts.
“Well, you and John let me fuck Donna. You’re okay with the same treatment for Vicky, plus basically any other girl that comes on to me,” he said. “On the other hand, I get bent out of shape over you having the same privileges that I enjoy.”
She smiled. “People are built differently honey. I’m not looking for you to change how you feel about sharing me.”
He nodded. “I know. But that’s what I’m having to work out. I’m not upset at you, I promise. I won’t be driving home in a few minutes and be swearing and punching the steering wheel.”
She giggled at the imagery. “That would make it hard to drive.”
He smirked and sensed her optimistic hopefulness coming back. “It takes time for me to process things that have upset me, but I have to get all the facts first. I promise I’m okay, but I’ll talk to you about everything soon.”
She nodded, starting to stand.
“Before we get up, though, I wanted to tell you about my epiphany,” he said.
She smiled, kissing him once but then joined him as he laid back down.
“I want you to know that no matter what happens, no matter where life takes us, I love you.”
She smiled. “I love you too Mr. Sappy,” she said, kissing him.
He shook his head, holding her back a bit so he could look her in the eyes. Taking a moment for her to start wondering what he was doing, he smiled and said, “What I mean is, you’re the one.”
She smiled, her expression briefly surprised but quickly changing to happiness. “I am?”
“I realized it last night when you had drifted off. It was like… a switch got flipped in my head, and I suddenly realized it. You are the person I’m meant to end up with.”
She looked up at him in adoration, tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
“I realized that I would do anything to keep you with me and keep you happy, but that I wouldn’t have to. You wouldn’t allow me to change myself to suit your needs if it caused me harm, because I know I’m the one for you too.”
She smiled, nodding, apparently unable to speak. Tears fell down her cheeks and she leaned in to kiss him. He pulled her tight with one hand, the other moving up to brush the tears away.
Sniffling, she smiled and then giggled, wiping her face as she sat back. “Believe it or not, I realized that last night too,” she said. “We had just gotten done talking and fooling around and I was just about to fall asleep. It just sort of hit me.”
He smiled. “When I say I love you, I mean, I will always love you, and will always work things out with you.”
She nodded. “Hopefully we won’t have to work anything out, but I completely agree.”
He kissed her a final time, then stood, searching for his clothes and starting to get dressed. “I’ll call you this evening,” he said.
“You can also just come over,” she pointed out. “I mean, you are the “One” and all, so…”
He smirked. “I guess I’ll see you after work.”
She smiled and stood, heading to the door, still naked as could be.
He sighed, shaking his head as she left the room and went to use the restroom, returning a second later.
“You guys just walk around naked all the time here, don’t you,” he said.
She giggled. “Well, those two are constantly naked and having sex, plus, I like being nude, so… yeah, kinda.”
He smirked. “Well, I still want to have a talk with John.”
“Oh, honey, stop,” she said, coming up and nuzzling his chest. “You know he wasn’t trying to cross any lines, and it was barely anything at all. Besides, you get to have his girlfriend whenever you like.”
“I know,” he said.
“I’m not going to run off with John,” she said, smiling up at him. “You’re the one for me, remember?”
“I know, it just feels like he took advantage of you when you were vulnerable,” he pointed out.
She shrugged. “Well, to be fair, he’d just seen me having sex with your dad, honey. He probably assumed that he’d be okay if you let your own father do that to me.”
Dexter hadn’t thought of that and looked at her in surprise. “Wow, that’s a really good point. I hadn’t thought of that.”
She nodded. “So, don’t go beating up Donna’s boyfriend.”
He sighed. “I didn’t say I was going to beat him up. He just has to know that it wasn’t okay.”
She smiled. “I’ll talk to him, okay?”
“You two just need to go back to how things were before my party,” Dex said.
Her smiled widened and she kissed him again. “I’ll tell him, honey,” she said. “I don’t want you messing up being able to have sex with Donna.”
He smirked, shaking his head. “You’re the best girlfriend on the planet,” he said.
Jessie giggled, but didn’t say anything to dispute it.
Dexter managed to get dressed and started to kiss Jessie goodbye, but she took his hand and walked him to the door. Opening it wide, she smiled and kissed him, standing just outside, still naked.
“You’re incorrigible,” he told her.
She giggled and shrugged, watching him until he’d climbed inside his vehicle. Seeing her finally go back inside, he pulled out and rushed home.
He quickly showered and got in his work clothes, then sped off to work. Irritatingly, a few blocks before he got there, he saw red and blue flashing lights behind him and swore softly. Pulling over, he checked the time and saw that he still had a few minutes if the cop hurried.
A minute or so passed, and finally the door opened, a blonde woman wearing typical cop sunglasses stepped out. She walked up to the window, looking in the bed of his truck and the back seat before nodding at him.
“Good morning sir,” she said.
“Good morning, ma’am,” he said.
“You in a hurry?” she asked.
Dexter nodded. “Yes ma’am. I was just trying to get to work on time.”
She smiled. “I’ve been there. You have your license and proof of insurance for me?”
“Absolutely,” he said. “It’s in my glove box.”
She nodded, but he noticed that she still put her hand on her service pistol. Leaning over, he opened the glove box and rummaged through it for a few seconds, then pulled out the proof of insurance and handed it to her, then pulled out his wallet and handed her his license.”
“Thank you sir, and I appreciate you for letting me know you were going to get into your glove box. Sit tight and I’ll be right back.”
He nodded politely and watched her go. He was stricken by how attractive she was and didn’t mind admiring her ass as she walked away. Her hair was very curly, shoulder length, and she was movie star beautiful. Another minute passed and she came back with a small clipboard.
“Okay sir, you were speeding a bit, but I understand trying to get to work on time. I’ve got a warning here that I’ll need you to sign. It’s not an admission of guilt and there’s no fine that will be assessed.”
“Thank you so much,” he said, readily signing the paper. He glanced up at her name tag. It said, “Officer Amy Winger.”
“Just drive a little slower out there, okay handsome?” she said, smiling at him.
He nodded, then realized she thought he’d been looking at her breasts, which technically he had been, but that wasn’t his intention. It wasn’t like they were out and bouncing around, and he quietly quietly swore at the thought of her thinking he was ogling her so obviously.
“Yes, ma’am,” he said. “Be safe out there.”
She smiled at him and turned, heading back to her cruiser. Taking the opportunity to admire her ass again, he sat there for a few more seconds until she’d sat back down. Smiling, he shook his head as he started the truck and pulled forward, turning into his office’s parking lot a few blocks later. Smiling to himself, he went inside to start his day.
