Beyond the Bar
She never thought her life would end up like such a cliché. Recently divorced, propped up on a cheap vinyl stool, tossing back a vodka cranberry, nearly last call on a ridiculously, humid Christmas Eve. But here she was, states away, light-years away from the knowing and pitying eyes of her family. Being alone was a choice; feeling lonely was not. She was both, and she was determined to make it out the door and into the night before the bar closed and tossed her out on the street.
They locked eyes from across the dimly lit bar. She looked down and immediately regretted it. He stood and approached, so she knew her avoidance was misinterpreted as coy flirtation. Her walls were up, and she knew rebuffing this clown would be easy work for her.
âClint.â He tossed his name at her and sat down next to her, uninvited. Thankfully, within this pandemic era, a handshake was not offered. That didnât stop Clint from pulling his seat closer to her. He leaned in with a drunken grin.
âWhat are you drinking?â
âClint, Iâm leaving, actually.â
âNot before I buy you a drink.â
âSome other time, hmm?â
He leaned in closer and that darker side of her almost dared him to cross the line. Itâd feel great to pop him right on the chin. He leaned back. He must have seen the danger in her eyes because his demeanor changed as if he suddenly decided against it. She grabbed her purse and raised a hand at the bartender.
Less than three minutes later, she was on the street waiting for her Lyft. She had no desire to stay inside even if it was probably safer. She just didnât care until she felt she was being watched. He was standing about 100 feet away on her left on his cell phone. She could tell he was talking to some sort of delivery person and impatiently directing them to the bar. He smiled at her, shrugged, and continued giving directions.
âThe unit is upstairs above the bar, Maâam. Yes, I am downstairs in front. Just⊠Ok. Three minutes? All right.â His called ended with an irritated sigh. âFucking deliveries.â
Before she could tell herself not to react, she laughed. He took that as an invitation to keep talking to her. He moved closer.
âItâs all the damned Peachtrees! Peachtree Road, Peachtree Street, Peachtree Avenue!â
âPeachtree Lane,â she offered with a giggle.
âYes, Peachtree Lane! The curse of living in downtown Atlanta.â
âWell, there are worse things!â
â285!â they said simultaneously.
âDeMario Baker.â He smiled at her and extended his hand. She surprised herself when she took it.
âAdriene Adams.â
âDeMario? Are you DeMario?â Adriene turned away when the delivery driver arrived. While DeMario and the driver juggled bags between hands, Adriene turned back to check him out. He was definitely taller than she was. She admired his dark brown skin and his long thick locs tossed back into a rough ponytail. DeMario was solidly built and was just at the beginning stages of what was affectionally referred to as dad bod. It was the humor in his eyes and his slightly lopsided grin that intrigued her, though. He looked up at her and smiled again.
âYou and your family have a good night, DeMario.â
âItâs just me! I eat like a bear,â he laughed. This time, when she looked down at her shoes coyly, she meant the flirtation. Still, her actions surprised her. She wasnât on the hunt tonight.
âUm, Adriene⊠Would you like to come up, to- eat- to join me for dinner?â
Perhaps she was the one being hunted, and yet she said, âYes.â
Dinner was Thai curry, and luckily she loved spicy food. The heat level meant that they guzzled water more than the bottle of wine that was on the table. He told stories of his Haitian background. She told tales of growing up on the streets of Los Angeles. She didnât miss how DeMarioâs eyes traveled from the top of her curly twist out to the tips of her manicured toes several times as they both spoke. Her eyes kept wandering too, always stopping at his eyes, his lips, and his hands.
They were two glasses into the bottle of wine and sitting on the couch when she slipped off her red and white strappy heels. His voice trailed off. Adriene lifted her legs and placed her feet as close to his lap without touching him.
âMay I?â he looked her directly in the eyes when he asked. Adriene nodded, but this time her actions were of no surprise to her. She had been fantasizing about his fingers on her throughout dinner, and the soft buzz from the wine had only intensified the fantasy. She moaned almost immediately when his warm, strong hands wrapped around her feet firmly massaging her arches, the heels, and the balls of each foot. She had managed to keep her reactions to the pleasurable sensations in check until he got to the spot under her toes. She giggled and tried to pull her feet back, but it was almost as if DeMario was prepared for her quick retreat.
âWhere you going?â he asked with a devious grin and a quick scramble on her toes.
She squealed, âNowhere! But my feet are going somewhere.â
âNo theyâre not!â He gave her a quick tickle again.
âHa-Ha! Hey! Oh, DeMario! Donât start something you canât finish,â she sang softly. They both stared at each other still smiling. Adriene had a challenging look that was sparking, smoldering, catching fire by the second. DeMario eyes seemed to reflect that flame, and he raised an eyebrow.
âYou canât move your feet for one full minute.â
âTwo,â she interrupted.
âThree full minutes, or....â
âAnd if I do?â she interrupted again.
âCareful, Woman. You donât look like you can handle this.â
âYouâd be surprised what I can handle, Mr. Baker.â
He paused, seeming to rethink his original punishment. âAnd if you do pull away, I can tickle you however I want for as long as IâŠâ
âTen minutes- Wherever you want.â
âFine! Ten minutes, Adriene. But with whatever method I choose.â
âAnd if I do last for two minutesâŠâ
âThree!â
âThree minutes, Mr. Baker, I get to turn you over my knee to paddle you.â
âNo chance in hell!â
âWhat? Are you afraid of a little discipline?â
âIâm going to destroy you!â
âDoubtful. 20 smacks.â
âFive!â
âFifteen wallops!â
âSeven!â
âSeventeen?â
âTen! My goodness, you areâŠâ
âA joy to have in your home?â
âYouâre in trouble.â
âTen it is, Mr. Baker. So when does the time sâŠâ
âNOW!â
In Adrieneâs mind, DeMario cheated. She fully expected his hands to go straight back to the spot underneath her tender toes, which he already knew was a weakness. He didnât. Well, not with his hands. His kneeled down to the floor, and when his soft lips gently kissed the tip of her big toe, she unraveled immediately. It hadnât even been three seconds, and Adriene had flopped back on the couch, covered her face with her hands, and seemed to make a muffled howling noise. He kissed the second rosy painted toe and was rewarded with more howling. He kissed the third toe. This time he wrapped his tongue sneakily around it and wiggled.
âNoooooo!â she begged and yanked her feet back. He sat up, triumphant. âYou are a cheater DeMario!â she huffed.
âHow did I cheat?â he asked in a cartoonish voice.
âYou werenât supposed to use your tongue!â
âYou didnât specify how I could tickle you!â he retorted.
âHow was I supposed to know that you would cheat?!â
âHow was I supposed to know how insanely ticklish you are?â
Adriene grew cold, then warm, then cold, then hot. She was insanely ticklish, and she loved it, truly.
âFine!â She stood up, removed her dress, popped her twist out into a sloppy bun with the hair tie she had around her wrist, and she lay on the floor. It was almost a full minute before DeMario got over his shock to approach her.
âAnywhere I want?â
âThat was the deal, DeMario.â
âFor as long as I want?â he grinned.
âThat was NOT the deal, DeMario! Stop playing.â
âYouâre into this,â he giggled.
âWait, what?â
âYou like being tickled, donât you?â
âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
âYou fantasize about this type of stuff, donât you?â
âYouâre losing your grip on reality, DeMario. Iâm about to leave.â
âAnd you lost on purpose, didnât you?â
âPlease!â she snorted.
âIâm going to make you say you love it, Adriene.â He lay on the floor next to her. âIâm going to make you say you love it.â He kissed the tip of her nose. âIâm going to pick a spot, now.â He placed a feathery soft kiss on her neck. She giggled. âEach time you stop me with your handsâŠâ He kissed her above her bra, right at the center of her chest and waited for another giggle. âItâs going to add one minute to your time.â
âWait! That wasnâtâŠâ
âTwo minutes?â he asked as he began nibbling her ribs right below her left breast.
âOne minute! One minute!â she screamed and dissolved under an avalanche of laughter.
It was the kiss he placed on her belly button that made him decide to stop searching for that perfect spot. She did not laugh when he kissed it. Instead, her eyes grew wide, and she gasped like she had been chilled by the wind. He kissed her there again, and she shook and grabbed him.
âD-Donât! Please!â
âEleven minutes, Adrieneâ he whispered.
She removed her hands from his shoulders and raised them above her head.
âFine,â she whispered and then squeezed her eyes shut.
âNo. Each time I look up, if you are looking back at me, Iâll remove a minute.â
âI canât!â
âYes, you can,â he whispered and slowly ran both hands down either side of her tummy.
âOh god! Oh god!â
âStop me, so I can say twelve!â
Between explosions of laughter she yelled, âI wonât! I wonât!â
âLook at me, so I can say ten.â
âI canât!!!!â She knew he deliberately dug in just as soon as she was about to make a response. And just as methodically, he tickled her everywhere but her belly button, drawing nearer and nearer as the time counted down.
âFive tickly minutes. Can you handle it? You canât look at me with your hands covering your face, Adriene!â
âIt tickles! It tickles! Please stop!â
âStop me.â
âNEVERRRRRR!â
He laughed at her response and kissed her belly button finally. She grew silent and shaky again.
âHold up! Does that tickle so badly that you go into silent laughter?â
âHa! No!â she lied.
âYou-shouldnât-have-let-me-find-that-out!â Each word he said was punctuated with a soft kiss to her deep innie. âFour minutes. Look at me.â
Silent laughter. Screams. Silent laughter. Screams.
Adriene arched her back involuntarily. DeMario reached an arm underneath her permanently placing her in that position. Adriene glared at him, but he wasnât looking.
âDamn it! Look at me!â
âOh, were your eyes open? My bad!â He squeezed her lower belly over and over and over again until she smacked his hand.
âAht! Aht! Weâre back to four minutes, Adriene.â
âNooooooooo! Please! I canât take it! I canât take it! I canât!!!!â
âYou canât fool me. You love this! Say it!â
âNope!â
Kiss- âSay it.â
Gasp- âNooo!â What was he doing? Yes, it tickled, but it also felt like liquid fire. DeMarioâs lips cupped her navel as he delivered deep lingering kisses, sucking her gently, diving his tongue deep into her belly button. This time she arched her back into it willingly. She reached her hand down to the nape of his neck tangling her fingers into his locs but not trying to stop him.
She moaned, âOh! Please!â
âPlease stop?â
âNo!â
âI think you need me to stop!â he taunted her. He mixed his deep, sensual kisses with the teasingly, light pecks that sent her back into silent laughter. He tortured her drawing out her raucous moans, then shaking laughter, and more sexy moaning; then back to desperate laughter.
âYou know what I want to hear,â he crooned knowing full well that she could not string together a sentence in this state. He looked up at her. She was looking back at him with pleading eyes filled with tears.
âOoo! One minute.â DeMario continued using his tongue to explore every centimeter of her belly button as she writhed and wiggled deliciously underneath him.
âTwenty seconds⊠Oh wow!â
She stiffened, and this time the screams from her body were guttural, primal. When she quieted from the unmistakable orgasm, time was up.
âWow!â he repeated.
As she lay next to him, motionless, she whispered, âI admit it.â
âWhat was that? I canât hear you.â
âI admit it. I love being tickled.â
âI knew it!â
âDid you, now?â She sat up.
âYes! I knew it!â
She grabbed him by his belt loops and pulled him close to her.
âShut up, and take your pants off, DeMario! That was foreplay.â
âDamn, girl!â
DeMario obeyed.
She never thought her life would end up like such a cliché. Recently divorced, propped up on a cheap vinyl stool, tossing back a vodka cranberry, nearly last call on a ridiculously, humid Christmas Eve. But here she was, states away, light-years away from the knowing and pitying eyes of her family. Being alone was a choice; feeling lonely was not.
