Stanley and Nancy were very different people with varying priorities. They both had feelings for each other and were free from any life-long engagements.
Yet Stanley was a man who only hung out with real hardy bucks in his workplace; he had no mad notions of romance or love! "Yeah! I'd get her a birthday present!" How could he forget Nancy's birthday? He remembered every year. But now...was he becoming senile so early?
Arvin muttered, "…" That was not what he was talking about. Never mind. He would do him a favor as his buddy, "You can...
Her birthday is only one week from now..." He couldn't sit tight and stay inactive and indecisive. This was time for action. He called Arvin, so he probably had his plan.
These four people hung up their phone one after another in about ten minutes.
The two men snickered over their plans, while the two women were beaming with innocent pleasures.
Nancy was unaware of his intention. She was telling Stanley her phone talk with Angela, "Angela has moved in with doctor Arvin. He is considerate towards Angela. I'm so much relieved!"
"Good for her!" Stanley put his arm around her shoulders, and turned to Darren, "go to sleep, now!"
He could have his way with Nancy and her meat loving mouth by sending Darren to sleep early.
In the still of the night
Nancy had taken a shower and dried her hair. She went to bed, sat there, played on her phone for a while, and was about to fall asleep.
The door cracked opened from outside, and Stanley walked in wearing black pajamas.
Color flooded her face at that moment. She asked gently, "You are still up?"
"I am not intent on sleeping tonight." At least for the moment.
"Why so? You have been summoned?" She thought he still had work to do, and felt sorry for his busy life.
Stanley closed the door, and made a beeline for Nancy. He sat down by her side, and took her into his arms, "I'm not going anywhere tonight."
She felt his breath on her neck. Knowing his desires, her hands started to shiver like a startled rabbit.
They had been living in the same house for so long. She knew this was bound to happen, as a matter of fact… She had been building herself up for this.
"Wait… Wait for a moment." She was scared after all.
She shoved him away, jumped off the bed, opened a bottle of unfinished wine, poured herself a full cup, and gulped it down.
He stood no chance in stopping her, for she had already quaffed the whole cup of wine…
But it would take some time for the wine to take her over. When Nancy reached out for a second cup, Stanley stopped her right away.
Putting the cup aside, he could feel her nervousness, so he said, "Relax, if you are really scared, I…" 'I could wait.'
He couldn't force her to do anything. That was the kind of man he was, that night.
Although Stanley had made up his mind, still he faltered for her unease.
Nancy put her palms on his lips, preventing him from saying those words and gazing at him tipsily while shaking her head.
She had been with him for a long time. Every time he looked desperate for such intimacy, but he never pressured her. Instead he had offered her comforts.
She had loved him for god knows how many years.
She way lucky to be at his side, and was willing to share everything with him…
She threw her lips at Stanley's like a crazy puffer fish. Surprised at her moves, still he quickly cast it off and achieved his initiative. With a rotation, Stanley was on top of her.
In the middle of their business when she had been aroused by Stanley, he slipped something hard into her palm and put it on her finger.
Her long eyelashes trembled a bit. And the little thing felt like… A ring.
