Part 1

 

 

Mary looked in the mirror in the bathroom.She needed to get out of the

hotal room if only for a few hours,even if she only had a drink in the hotal

lobby.She was tired of hanging out with all the other wives.Listening to them

chat none stop about there wonderful husbends and families.She ran the brush

through her long brown hair and pulled it up into a hair clip.She put her

gold hoop earrings in and gave herself a nod as she turned and left the

bathroom.She picked up her small purse and grabed her key.She walked out the

door and down the hall.Mary thought breifly about her husbend and children as

she entered the bar,Who did she think she was kidding.She was thirteyfive

years old and wanted nothing more then to sit down in the bar and have some

strange man try and pick her up.Mary could remember a time when she could

turn any mans head,and had!Then she got married and setteled down still she

longed sometimes for the times in her life when she was free.Not Chad's wife

or Tommy and Katie's mommy.but Mary a woman who longed to be taken into a

mans arms and held and caressed and made to feel beautiful.Something Chad

hadent done in years.Sex was him geting on, him geting off and Mary staring

at the ceiling wondering if she would ever feel passion again.Chad was a good

husbend in some ways but Mary had to admit she had fallen out of love with

him.Mary sat down at the bar glancing around to see if any of Chad's co

workers were there.She sighed the bar was completly emptey.Accept for one

dark haired man sitting at the other end of the bar.The man lifted his head

up from his drink and looked down the bar at her.

 

Paul gave the woman a slight nod.The woman nodded back and gave him a slight

smile.Paul could get a full veiw of her as she sat down at the bar.She was

short even in the high heel pumps she was wearing.She was wearing a short

black dress that showed off her lovly cleavge.The skirt was short showing her

legs coverd by black stockings.Her brown hair was pulled back showing off her

pretty face.Paul stood up from his spot and slowly moved down to the end of

the bar whare she was sitting."May I buy you a drink?"he asked as he took a

seat on the bar stool next to her.                     

Mary's heart was in her throat as she looked up at the man.She found her

voice and said "Yes,thankyou."The man smiled warmly at her as he motioned to

the bartender.Mary melted at the sight of him.He was beautiful.His dark hair

laid in waves barly touching his shoulders.He had the most kind dark eyes.The

bartender walked over and asked what she was drinking."A screw driver

please."Mary said.The bartender nodded as he turned to fix her drink.The man

put his hand out"My name is Paul"he said.Mary took his hand "Hi I'm Mary"she

said shyly.Paul smiled "So tell me why is it a beautiful woman is drinking

alone in a bar?"he asked as he looked into her green eyes.The bartender sat

Mary's drink down."Just felt like a night cap."Mary said smiling at him.He

gave a small laugh as he took a drink of his wine.Mary wondered if he was

going to ask her back to his room.She wanted him too.Just to prove she was

still an atrractive woman."So are you staying in the hotal?"he asked.Mary

nodded as she waited for him to ask."Are you here on bussniss?"Paul

asked.Mary swollowed as she lied."Yes I'am."she said."Me too"Paul said."What

do you do for a living?"Mary asked "I'm in the band KISS."Paul said almost

laughing at the woman's reaction.Mary gasped as she put her hand to her

mouth.Paul could tell she was embarressed."My God,Your Paul Stanley."Mary

said in a whisper.Paul smiled and nodded."I take it you've heard of me."he

said."I'm sorry,I shoud of recaganized you.I was such a big fan when I was a

kid."Mary said as she felt herself blushing.Paul smiled "Its alright."He

said.He thought it was dama cute the way she was blushing as she looked at

him."What about you?What do you do for a living?"he asked.Mary took a deep

breath as she tried to think.She dident want to tell him she was married."I'm

a writer"Mary said as she felt her heart pound at the lie she just told.Paul

smiled as he boldly put his hand on her knee.A jolt went through Mary as she

felt the warmth of his hand on her knee.Paul could tell she was nervous he

went to pull his hand away thinking that maybe she wasent intrested.Mary put

her hand down to cover his as she smiled up at him.She could feel herself

starting to relax as he gazed into her eyes.

Mary smiled up at him as she covered his hand with her own.His hand was so

big compared to her small one.Paul put his other hand down to trace the back

of her hand with his finger.Mary licked her lips as she looked up at him.Paul

grined as he looked at her.Mary gave him a nod to let him know she was

enjoying there flirting.Paul leaned over slightly and whispered in her ear

"Want to go some place more private?"he asked.Mary smiled as she nodded.Paul

took her hand as he got off his bar stool.Mary felt him gently pull her from

her stool.They held hands as Paul walked her towards the elavator.They waited

as the elavator doors opened.Mary's heart stopped as she thought about the

fact that Chad may be looking for her.Mary pushed the thought from her mind

as they steped into the elavator.Paul put his arm around her shoulder as the

elavator doors closed.He pulled her into his arms as his lips sought

hers.Mary felt his soft lips as they met hers.She gasped in surprise as he

deepend there kiss.God he feels so good she thought to herself as she felt

his hands rubing her shoulders.Mary let her hands roam down his back as she

felt his tongue enter her mouth.A tingle shot theough Mary's system as she

melted under his touch.The elavator jolted as it stoped on the tenth

floor.Mary and Paul pulled away as the doors opened.Mary was nervous as she

looked around for anyone she might know.Paul pulled her by the hands as he

led her to his room.

Paul never let go of Mary's hand as he unlocked the room door.He flicked on

the light as they entered the room.He let go of Mary's hand as he kicked off

his shoes.Mary kicked her high heels off as well.Paul reached for her."Now

whare was I."he said as he covered her mouth once again.Mary let out a low

gasp as she felt his tongue once more in her mouth.The fire was burninng deep

in them both.Mary let her hands roam down Paul's back.She let them come to

rest on his firm ass.She gave it a slight squeeze.As Paul pulled away long

enough to let out a soft moan."Thats very nice,"He mummered as he kissed down

Mary's neck.She felt his hands as they fumbled with the zipper at the back of

her dress.He tugged at the zipper as he kissed her deeply.Mary felt her dress

slide off of her shoulders as Paul nibbleled his way down her body.Mary

shutter as he teased her with his warm kisses.He came to her legs.He gently

tugged at her stockings with his hands as his tongue flicked across her

stomch.Mary mouned laodly it had been so long sense she had been touched like

this.Paul stood back and looked at her with his smoldering dark eyes. She

stood there feeling every part of her body tingle."Oh you are beautiful."he

whispered as he took her back into his arms.Paul walked her over to the big

bed.He kissed her as he laid her back.He stood over her as he removed his

shirt and pants.Mary's hands roamed over his chest as he shed his clothes.He

let out his own crys of passion as he felt her small hands caress his bare

chest.

Paul pulled Mary up and removed her bra.He felt her rounded breast in his

hand they were the perfect size for her small body.He could feel her heart

pounding as he teased her nipples with his fingers.Mary sighed deeply.Paul

could tell it had been some time sense she had been truly loved as he looked

into her green eyes."You feel so good"Paul whispered to her as he bent his

head down taking her breast into his mouth.Mary gasped as she felt his tongue

tease her nipple.Mary arched her back as she felt Paul easing her back on to

the bed.Mary ran her fingers through his dark hair as she felt his teeth

nibbel at her breast."Oh god that feels so good."Mary said shocked at her own

voice.Paul smiled as he heard her voice."You taste good."Paul said as he

began to work her panties down her legs.Mary mouned as his fingers brushed

aginst her pubic area."Do you like that."Paul said softly.Mary nodded as he

came up covering her mouth in a deep kiss.He whispered in her ear "Do you

want me to love you baby?"Mary gasped as she reached up and answered him with

a kiss.

Paul let her panties drop to the floor as he pulled her legs apart gently.He

knelt his head down and kissed her thighes as he heard moans of delight

escaping Mary's lips.His fingers entered her as he kissed his way up and down

her legs.He could feel Marys wetness as he let his fingers tease her with

small strokes.Mary felt herself melting under his touch."Please..."she cried

out as he teased her.Paul moved his head up to rest between her legs.Mary

felt his soft tongue enter her as she arched her back to meet his hungry

tongue.Paul loved hearing her beg.He wanted to bring her to oragasm before he

entered her.He just wanted to let her have as much plesure as he could give

her.Mary felt his tongue as it licked her clit making her jump.Paul felt her

shutter as her first orgasm racked her body.He smiled as he came up to face

her."Oh that was nice."he said softly as he kissed her trembling lips.He

looked into her wide eyes.Mary could feel his swollen manhood as he rested

himself on top of her.It felt so big and hard.Mary reached down and felt it

with her hand Paul let out a small cry as Mary began to rub the head of it

with the palm of her hand.Paul rolled onto his back as she sat up and took

him into her mouth."Oh yae thats a girl!"Paul cried out as his hands rested

on the back of her head.Mary tasted his precum as she bobed up and down.He

was so big he made her jaws ache.Paul began to move his hips up to meet her

mouth.Mary felt Paul gently pulling her away.She sat up wondering if she had

done something wrong.Paul could see the look in her eyes."Come here I want to

love you."he said gently as he pulled her to him.Mary felt him as he laid her

back down.Paul was almost afraid to enter her she seemed so small to him.Mary

grabbed his ass to pull him close to her.Paul gently entered her as he heard

himself and her cry out.Paul could tell she had been starved for a gental

touch as he began to rock deep inside of her.He kissed her deeply parting her

lips with his tongue.He could taste her and himself as there tongues did a

dance inside each others mouths.He rocked faster as he felt her tighten

around his swollen cock.She cried out as he gave one last thrust."Oh my

God!!!"Mary heard him cry as she felt his release fill her.Mary grabbed his

ass pulling him deeped inside of her "Paul....oh Paul..."was all Mary could

say as she felt her body give into her own orgasm.......

 

Paul looked down at Mary with a smile.He traced her full lips with his finger

tips."Wow."she said as she looked into his dark eyes.He kissed her

lips."Thank you."he wispered in her ear.Mary smiled "No thank you that was

wonderful."she said as she snuggled into his chest.Paul smiled as he held her

a little tighter.Mary knew she should get up and leave.She knew Chad was in

there room by now wondering whare she was.Mary felt Paul's hands as they

lightly stroked her hair as she laid in his arms.She tried to fight it as her

eyes closed.Paul looked down at her as she slept.He let out a soft grown as

he held her.She feels so good laying here he thought as his eyes closed.

 

Mary woke with a jolt as she looked around the strange room."Mary!"Paul said

as he felt her jump from his arms.He sat up as she raced from the bed."Oh

shit!"Mary said as she searched in the dark room for her clothes."Mary whats

wrong!"Paul asked as he got up from the bed.Mary turned around as she pulled

on her dressed."I have to go Paul"she said with panic in her voice.Paul

turned on the light they both squinted as there eye adjusted to the

light.Paul grabbed his watch."Mary its 4 AM! Just stay here tonight.Besides I

thought we could spend the day together.I wanted to get to know you a little

better."he said.Mary's heart was in her throat as she grabed her shoes."No I

can't."she said.Paul shrugged "Can I have your phone number?"he asked

thinking that maybe she had a plane to catch."No!"Mary said as she ran to the

door.Paul got up to follow her."Wait a second!"he said.It was to late she was

already gone."Fuck"Paul said as he looked at the closed door.I don't even

know her last name.he thought to himself as he turned and went back to his

emptey bed.

 

Mary raced to her room as she fummbeled in her purse for the room key.Shit I

must look like hell she thought to herself as she found the key.She knew Chad

was waiting up as she turned the key in the lock.What am I going to say she

wondered as she steped into the room.Chad was fast asleep in the layback

chair his hand still holding the remote.The tv was turned to an old football

game.Mary sighed as she walked to the bathroom careful not to wake him up.She

looked in the mirror.She had lost her hair clip and her make up was all but

gone from her face.She threw her stocking in the sink as she stripped off her

dress.She walked to the large bed and laid down alone.She wrapped her arms

around herself and smiled.I wish I could of stayed she said to herself as she

closed her eyes.She could still hear the football game playing in the sitting

room adjoined to the bedroom.Just like at home Chad falls asleep watching

sports in front of the tv and Mary sleeps alone.Tears she couldent hide fell

from her eyes.She felt so alone as she laid there.She could still feel the

burn of Paul's lips on her's.

Mary could hear the shower running as she streached and opened her eyes.She

felt a little sore as she moved to get out of bed.She smiled to herself I

dident just dream it she thought to herself.She got up and grabbed her

robe.Chad came out of the bathroom as she was going in.Mary braced herself

for an argument as he brushed by her.He barly looked at her and grunted.Mary

looked back at him as he began to pull his clothes on."Did you sleep well?"he

called over his shoulder.Mary was stunned there was no anger or sarcasm in

his voice.Mary turned to look in the mirror."Yes"she called from the

bathroom."Good,sorry I dident make it to the bedroom last night.Me and Rich

got in so late.I was really wired after that last club.I decided to watch

some tv and I guess I fell asleep."he said as he moved about the room.Mary

closed her eyes with realeif.He dident even know I was gone she thought to

herself.Mary looked at the soap dish whare her wedding band was laying.She

quickly slipped it back on her finger.She began to pull her robe off.She

turned on the water and waited for the tub to fill."I'm meeting the guys and

some of there wives down stairs for breakfast.Hurry up and join us."she heard

Chad say."Alright let me get a bath and I'll be down."Mary called.Great

another day of sitting around with all the other wifes from Chad's

advertising company.The men would go to there meeting and then out to god

knows whare return in time for dinner and then the men would go club hopping

leaving the women back at the hotal."What fun! Ya!"Mary said outload.Mary

steped into the tub.She turned and looked at the tattoo on her right

shoulder.She lightly ran her fingers over it.When I was free was what that

tatoo said to her everyday.Not a wife or mom,but free.She had gotten it when

she was eighteen.She had felt so free as she sat in the tattoo parlor and

picked out the one she wanted.She had chose a small fairy floating over a

heart.It really was beautiful.She remebered when she and Chad had met he

thought it was so cool.Once they were married thoe he was always on her about

keeping in covered."Women who are married to men in high powered jobs don't

have tattoo's"he would say as he looked at her with disaproving eyes.Mary

ofton wondered why the hell he married her.If it wasent the tattoo it was

something she said that he thought was out of line.Always on her toes was how

Mary had to be.She laid in the tub as her thoughts turned to Paul.It was the

first time Mary had ever broke her wedding vows.It had felt so good.She

finished her bath and dried off quickly.She looked down at her thighs as she

pulled on her skirt.My god he gave me a hickey!She giggeled as she looked at

the small red mark on the top of her thigh.Chad would never know thoe.He

wasent about to take any time and look at her body even if they did have sex

before it faded away.Mary smiled as she finished dressing everytime she

thought about last night her whole body would tingle.She grabbed her purse

and headed out the door

 

Paul awoke still a little stunned.What the hell was that all about he

wondered as he steped into the shower.He thought she was enjoying his

company.He wondered if he would see her again before he left New York.He sure

hoped he would.She was very sweet and gental.He smiled as he thought about

how she flelt in his arms.She was like a china doll.he thought as he shut off

the shower.He dressed quickly and headed down stairs for some breakfast.

 

Mary stepped on the elavator.She was looking down as she said"The lobby

please."to the man standing next to the buttons.Paul's head turned when he

recagnized Mary's voice."Well we meet again!"he said in a bright voice.Mary's

eyes were wide as she looked up to see Paul standing there."Paul..."Mary

stammered.Paul could tell he was the last person she wanted to see."Are you

going to be shy with me after last night."Paul said with a small laugh.Mary

shook her head as she held out her left hand to show him her wedding

band.Paul stopped laughing as his face fell.

Paul cleared his throat."I had no ideia."he said as he looked up at her.Mary

looked away his eyes had a hint of saddness and hurt as he stared at her."I'm

sorry Paul."Mary said."Thats alright.Everybody needs a little fun

sometimes."he said.His eyes were still locked on her as Mary looked up at

him.Paul shook his head as he turned away.Dama it I liked her.Paul thought to

himself as he waited for the elavator to stop.Mary felt tears come to her

eyes as she turned away.Paul saw her shoulders shake as she stood with her

back to him."Mary"he said softly as he put his hand on her shouder.Mary

turned to face him."Shhhh....Its alright.Don't cry."he said as he rubbed her

shoulder.Mary whiped her eyes she knew the elavator would be stopping

soon.The elavator stoped as the doors opened."Goodbye Paul."Mary said as she

went to step off the elavator."Wait a second."Paul said as he pulled her back

onto the elavator.Mary looked at him puzzeled as he pushed the buttons

again.The elavator jolted as it made its way up."What are you doing?"Mary

asked."What have you wrote?"Paul asked.Mary looked at him as she remebered

the lie she had told him.Mary was so embarrassed as she looked at him."I'm

not a writer."She confessed as she looked down at the floor."I'm just a

housewife and mother."Mary said.Paul looked at her "No body is just a mother

lady!"Paul said.Mary smiled at him."It takes alot to be a parent I know!"Paul

said.Paul smiled at her."Tell me why you went with me last night Mary?"Paul

said as he walked over to her.He put his arm around her.She felt so good like

her small body was made to fit him.Mary looked up at him with the saddiest

eyes he had ever seen."He ignores me."she said softly.Paul closed his eyes as

he pulled her a little closer.I'd never ignore you he thought to himself as

he stood there with his arms wrapped around her.The elavator came to a

stop.Mary quickly pulled away fearing one of Chad's co worker would catch her

in Paul's arms.

Mary stood away form Paul as the doors opened. Two women stepped inside."Mary

are you on your way down for breakfast?"one of them asked.Mary

nodded."Yes"she said as she glanced over at Paul.Paul smiled at her as the

elavator made its way down."Were going shopping after breakfast.Do you want

to come?"the woman asked Mary.Paul could tell that Mary was not enjoying

this.He watched as Mary rolled her eyes."Lori we have been shopping everyday

sense we got here.I think I'm just going to stay around here today."Mary said

trying not to sound to harsh.Paul could tell that Mary wasent a bit like

these women.He listened to them going on and on about how they were going to

buy this and that .Paul almost laughed as Mary said."Were in New York

city.Don't you two want to go see a Broad way show are something other then

shop!There is so much to see and do.All we have seen is stores.Lets go to a

musuem are something.Anything but another day of shopping!"Paul watched as

the two women looked at her like she was nuts."You know Mary, Christmas is

coming and we need to get the kids Christmas lists completed."one of the

women said as she looked down her nose at Mary.Mary closed her eyes."Well

there is a big mall right down town in St Louis.I can finish my kids list at

home as well as in New York!"The women shook there heads."Well I want my kids

to have there Christmas form New York!It will make them feel special to tell

there friends about there gifts that came from New York City!"one of the

women said.Mary rolled her eyes."Well I always thought that Christmas was

about the birth of a baby!Not about gifts form New York.Thanks for clearing

that up for me.Lori!"Mary said with sarcasm in her voice.Paul put his hand to

his mouth as he snickered.Both women looked at him when they heard him

laugh.The elavator stoped and the doors opened.The two women stuck there

noses in the air as they walked off the elavator before Mary."Good bye"Mary

said softly as she stepped off the elavator.Paul locked eyes with her."Not

good bye."he said.Mary nodded as she watched the elavator door close on Paul.

 

Mary took a deep breath as she walked into the dining room behind Lori and

Cindy.Chad waved to her as she walked into the room.Mary walked over.He had

already ordered for them both and the food was sitting in front of himMary

looked down at the plate of eggs and bacon.The food was cold.Mary sat down

next to him saying her goodmornings to the co-workers and there wifes that

were sitting at the table.Chad leaned over to her and whispered"Whare the

hell have you been?"Mary felt the warmth of his breath on her neck.He made

her skin crawel.She smiled as she clenched her teeth.She wanted to scream.All

these people made her ill.The women talked none stop as they sat next to

there husbends.There husbends looked at there watches waiting to bolt for the

door.Mary picked at her food as she waited for all the men to get up from

there seats and go to there big confrence.Chad looked over at Mary."Sit up

Mary.Your slouching."Chad said in a low voice.Mary sat up a little

taller.Chad smiled at her as he talked and made jokes with his co

workers.Mary looked towards the door as she thought about far away places.She

thought of long walks on the beach.She wished she could just disappear as she

sat there picking at her cold eggs.The men all exscused them selfs as they

all leaned over and planted a small kiss on there wifes cheeks.Mary almost

laughed were like barbies and there the kens.she thought as she watched them

all move in a cluster out of the dining room.All the women began to talk

about what they had planed for the day.Mary sighed as she pushed her chair

out and stood up."Mary whare are you going?"Wendy one of the wifes

called."Upstairs I don't feel well."Mary said as she walked to the door.

 

Mary walked to the elavator hoping that none of them would come to check on

her.Mary was shocked as she approuched the elavator to see Paul standing

there.He pushed the button as she walked towards him."I was wondering when

you would be coming out of there,"he said as he pointed to the dining

room.Mary smiled as they both stepped on the elavator.Mary looked shyly up at

him."Whares your husbend?"Paul asked."Meetings."Mary said."For how long?"Paul

asked as he moved closer to her."All day."she said as she felt his arm wrap

around her sending a chill down her spine."Spend the day with me."Paul

whispered as he leaned down to kiss her.Mary gasped as his lips met

hers."Paul..."Mary said as he kissed her again."Please just one day.thats all

I want."Paul whispered.Mary nodded as her heart pounded in her chest.Paul

smiled as he looked down at her."I promise I won't take you shopping."he

said.Mary laughed "Thanks"she said.Paul wanted to spend just one day with

her.He felt like she needed sombody to be with her.He could tell that she was

very lonely.He had been feeling lonely too.He wanted someone to spend some

time with to talk and cuddle with.He wanted to laugh and hold hands with her

and make love to her once more before they both went back to there own lives.

Mary held her breth as the elavator doors opened.Paul held her hand as they

walked to his room.Paul opened the door.Paul had her in his arms the second

the door closed.Mary wanted him so much as she felt his hands caressing her

body through her clothes.Paul grouned as he felt her erect nipples through

her blouse."I want you...I never want to let you go.."Paul said in between

his kisses.Mary breathed heavly as Paul began to unbutton her blouse."I'm

yours.."she said as she kissed him deeply.Paul picked her up into his arms he

was stunned at how light she felt in his arms.He laid her on the bed covering

her mouth in a kiss.He laid beside her.He ran his hands down her body.Mary

sat up and undid her skirt as Paul ran his hands up her leg.He mouned as her

hands brushed aginst the bulge in his jeans.Paul helped Mary take off the

skirt.She laid next to him in her bra and panties.Her body was throbing to be

touched once more by him."Your skin is so soft"Paul whispered as he undid her

bra.He kissed her throat as his hands roamed over her breast.Mary moaned

loadly as she let him touch her.Paul stood up and undid his pants.He let out

a sigh of releif as he laid back down next to her.Mary reached for him as he

pulled his shirt off and laid back down."Just for a little while you can be

my girl."Paul said as he kissed her on the lips tenderly.Mary moaned as he

ran his finger between her legs.He let his fingers stroke her through her

panties as she wiggeled under his touch."Take me please"Mary said in a

pleading voice."Lets take our time.Lets make it last...."Paul mummered as he

sliped his hand inside of her panties.He could feel how wet she was as he let

his finger slide inside of her.She cried out as Paul genty teased her with

his finger.....in and out....in and out......Mary cried his name as she felt

him pull his finger out.He brought his fingers to her mouth."I want you taste

how sweet you are."he said as he placed his finger in her mouth.Mary could

taste herself on his finger as he looked deep into her eyes."I'm gonna love

you."he whispered as he stripped off her panties.He kissed her as she

gasped."Please Paul now..."Mary begged.Paul smiled as he nodded at her "Yes

now Mary"he said as he entered her gently.He watched her face as she closed

her eyes."Does that feel good....."Paul asked as he began to thrust deeply

inside of her.His eyes closed as he thrust deep in her.She cried out as she

felt her body being filled with his cock.Her hips riseing and falling with

his every thrust."Oh Mary you feel so good......"he called as he covered her

mouth with his."Ohhh....dont stop!!"Mary said as she felt her self tighten

around his cock.Paul moaned loadly as he felt himself cumming deep inside of

her.He looked down at her as he filled her.She had her eyes closed and was

crying his name..Just watching her plesure made him orgasm even harder.He

rolled away from her panting.He pulled her to him.He wanted to hold her

close.He could feel himself getting used to something that wasent his.He

kissed the top of her head as he thought about how hard it was going to be to

let her go back to her husbend.Mary snuggeled close to him she kissed his

chest as she laid in his arms.Her mind drifted as they laid there not talking

but just enjoying being in each others arms.Mary wanted to stay there

forever.He was so sweet.She thought about when she was a little girl . She

had dreamed of him as she looked at his poster on her wall.She now knew he

was just as she had always dreamed he was.Paul broke the silence."So what

would you like to do today?"he asked.Mary smiled as a tear came to her eye.It

had been so long sense anyone had asked her what she wanted.

 

Paul looked down at her."Would you take me ice skating?"she asked shyly.Paul

smiled"You got it babe."he said as he kissed her.Mary laughed as she sat

up.Paul smiled at her.He felt like he had just made her every wish come

true."I need to eat first.Why don't you go to your room and change into a

pair of jeans and then come back here and then we can go.I'll order room

service."Paul said.Mary got up and grabed her clothes."I'm hungry too."Mary

said as she pulled her skirt on."I thought you ate with your husbend."Paul

said as he got up and pullled his jeans on.Mary shook her head"I don't like

cold eggs."She said laughing.Paul said "Well what can I order for you my

love?"he asked."Blue berry pancakes!"Mary said as her eyes lit up.Paul

laughed "You got it!"he said as he picked up the phone."I'll be right

back!"she said as she walked to the door."Hey don't forget to kiss me good

bye."he said as he held the phone to his ear.Mary grined as she walked over

to him.She gave him a quick kiss.He smiled as he watched her walk out the

door.

 

Mary stepped into the hallway and looked around.The coast was clear as she

walked to the elaavator.Part of her wanted to get caught as she waited for

the elavator.The elavator stoped and the doors opened.She sighed as she

stepped into the emptey elavator.She pushed the button.She smiled to herself

as she stood there.She closed her eyes as she thought about Paul and her

together for the day.The elavator stopped.Mary looked at the doors as they

opened and Ginger,one of the wifes stepped inside."I thought you were

sick?"Ginger said when she saw Mary standing there."I went down stairs to get

some tylenol."Mary said as she looked away.Ginger looked at her as she

noticed how dis shoveled she looked."You look awful!"Ginger said as she

stared at her.Mary cleared her throat."Well I don't feel well."Mary said.The

elavator stoped on Mary's floor.Mary sighed in realeif as she steped off the

elavator.Ginger narrowed her eyes at Mary as she stepped off the

elavator."Bye"Mary said as the door closed.Mary rolled her eyes as she walked

to her room.She knew she was about to become a source of gossip for all the

barbies as they shoped till they droped today.

 

Mary went to her room.She unlocked the door and walked inside.She ran to the

bedroom.She was glad she had packed her jeans as she took off her skirt and

blouse.Chad hated it when she wore jeans on these company trips.Mary hated

these trips.Chad only brought her on two trips a year this one which took

place two weeks before Christmas and the one in June to Florida.The men in

the company always brought there wives along on those two trips.The kids came

with them in June.The women and the kids spent there time at Disney world and

the men spent there time in meetings and partying.Mary dreaded the trip to

New York every year.She had always wanted to live in New York.When she was in

collage she had planned on moving there after she got her degree.Then she had

met Chad and when he asked her to marry him she had put all her hopes and

dreams on the back burner.He was so successful in his job he didnet want her

to work.Mary was happy at first.She loved hanging out with the other wifes

and shopping.Then when Tommy was born she was thrilled.He was the light of

her life.She loved being a stay at home mother,but things changed for

Mary.She wasent happy anymore.Chad thought it was post partem depression.Mary

knew what it was she had changed.She wanted to just be a mother to Tommy she

found Chad so out of touch with life .Mary felt like there lives were a

contest to see who could get the most money and who had the best house and

car.Mary didnet care anymore.She started writing again to help her cope with

things.She of course never let Chad know she was writing again.She could

remeber when they had first met and she had written him a poam.He had laughed

at her when she read it to him."God Mary you are to funny!"he said.Mary could

still feel the hurt when she thought about it.Mary had always thought she was

a good writer.Thats what she had studied in college after all.She crumpeled

the paper and threw it in the trash can.She never let Chad read another thing

she ever wrote.Mary looked in the mirror at herself as tears stung eyes at

the thought of Chad making her feel so bad about herself.She sliped her

wedding ring off and laid it in the soap dish.She turned and left the

bathroom.She wrote a note to Chad in case he came back.All the note said was

be back soon.She walked out of the room feeling free and happy for the first

time in a long whileMary stepped off the elavator and walked to Paul's

room.She smiled as she knocked softly on the door."Hold on!"she heard him say

form behind the closed door.Paul opened the door smiling at her."I'm on the

phone.Sit down and enjoy your pancakes.I'll be done in a minute."He said as

he put the phone back to his ear.Mary smiled as she sat down and looked at

the breakfast in front of her.Paul had ordered what looked like tha whole

menue.She heard him laughing softly as he spoke on the phone.It sounded like

he was talking to a child as he said 'I love you be good for Grandma.'Paul

hung up the phone and sat down across from her."I had to call my son."he

exsplained as he cut up his pancakes.Mary nodded "So is your wife here in New

York with you?"Mary asked.Paul grined. He wasent used to people not knowing

he and Pam were divorced.Mary had read that he had gotten married a long time

ago."My wife and I are divorced."Paul said.Mary was stunned for a moment."I'm

sorry.I dident know."she said as she felt herself blushing."Its alright.I

just thought everyone knew by now.It was in the papers."Paul said.Mary shook

her head as she poured some syrup over her pancakes."I don't get to keep up

on KISS news much anymore sorry."she said.Paul smiled "I understand.My son is

at my mom and dad's.I'll be joining them in a few days for Hanukkah"he

said.Mary nodded "I'll be going home in a few days."she said.Paul smiled as

he noticed the sadness in her voice."Well we have the next few days."he said

as he looked at her.Mary smiled as she thought of her time spent with him so

far.Paul caught Mary up on KISS and his life.He talked alot about his son .He

pulled out his wallet and showed her a picture of his little boy."He's seven!

The best thing in my life."Paul said."What about you Mary.How many children

do you have?"Paul asked.Mary smiled at him."I have two kids a boy ten and a

little girl seven."she said."Wow you have a ten year old!"Paul said she

seemed to young to have a kid that age.Mary laughed as she reached for her

purse."Don't flatter me!I'm thirtyfive!"she said as she held out a photo of

Tommy and Katie.Paul looked at the picture the little boy had blond hair and

big blue eyes.The little girl looked just like her mother."Very nice!"Paul

said as he handed the picture back to her.Mary smiled she was feeling a

little uncomfortable now that she knew that Paul wasent married.Paul noticed

Mary looking around the room as she finished her pancakes."Whats wrong?"he

asked.Mary looked at him."I'm sorry I should of told you I'was married last

night."she said as she turned away.Paul got up and knelt down in front of

her."Its alright.I understand.Lets not think about it right now.Lets pretend

that you and I are the only two people in the world today."he said as he

gazed into her eyes.Mary had tears in her eyes as she looked at him.Paul

whiped them away."Come on let go ice skating."he said as he stood up.Mary

nodded as she got up.Mary and Paul grabbed there coats and scarfs and headed

for the door.Paul kissed her when they got to the door."I can't seem to go to

long without steeling a kiss from you lady!"he said as he opened the door.He

looked down the hall.Paul felt like a teenager who was sneeking his girl

friend out of his room before his folks caught him.Mary's eyes scaned the

long hall."Lets go" she said after making sure no one she knew was

around.Paul laughed "This is fun all this sneaking around.it reminds of when

I couldent be seen without my make up."he said.Mary laughed "When I was a

little girl I always dreamed of being your girlfriend just so I could see

what you looked like without your make up."Paul grined "Did you have a crush

on me!"he said teasing her.Mary blushed as they stepped on the elavator."Yes

I did."she said.Paul smiled as he put his arm around her."Well I'm

flattered.I hope I can live up to your expectations."he said.

 

Paul hailed a taxi as Mary stood a little away from him just in case someone

she knew were to see her with Paul.Paul motioned to her when one stoped.Mary

walked over to him as he opened the door.Paul told the driver to take them to

Rockafeller Center.Mary smiled so big at him it made him laugh."I've never

been to Rockafeller Center!"she said.Paul said "You mean you come here once a

year at Christmas time and you've never been to Rockafeller Center!"Mary

looked down at her hands."No Chad says that he is to busy working,And none of

the other wives ever want to go with me."Mary said.Paul shook his head."Well

I'll take you there.Your going to love it!"he said.Mary was so happy as the

taxie drove down the busy streets.The driver was soon pulling up to

Rockafeller Center.Mary's eyes lit up when she saw the huge Christmas

tree.Paul grabed her hand as he watched the joy in her eyes.He was wondering

how any man could ignore this beautiful woman that was sitting next to

him.Paul paid the driver.He held Mary's hand as they walked to the ice

skating rink.Paul watched her as she looked at all the people skating

around.He put his arm around her "Come on lets get our skates."Paul said.Mary

smiled as he paid for the skate rental.They soon had there skates on and were

on the ice.Paul and Mary held hands as they skated around the wrink.It had

been a long time sense Mary had been skating and Paul had to hold her up a

few times as she laughed at herself.Paul loved how she felt in his arms as he

held her while they skated.He would lean over and kiss her cheek every once

in awhile.Her cheek was cold from the wind on his lips.Her eyes danced as he

looked at her.He could feel himself falling completly in love with her as he

watched her skating next to him.Don't do it Stanley she is just a fling

nothing more.He kept warning himself.Paul skated her over to sit down on one

of the benches.They were both panting as they sat down."Want some hot

choclate?"he asked."Yes please"Mary said.Paul went to get some hot choclate

leaving Mary with her own thoughts.Her thoughts drifted to her children.She

wondered what it would be like for them if she were to divorce Chad.She

pictured herself and the children living in New York.She could see her and

the kids skating here at Christmas time.Paul soon returned holding out a

steaming cup of hot choclate.Mary smiled as she took it from him."Thanks"she

said as he sat down next to her."You looked deep in thought there."Paul said

as he put his arm around her."I was just thinking about how much my kids

would love this place."Mary said."You should bring them next year!Evan loves

to come here."Paul said."No Chad doesent want to bring the children here.He

says this is our time away from them once a year."she said.Paul could hear

the bitterness in her voice as she spoke Chad's name."You should leave

him."Paul blurted out without thinking.Mary looked up at him."I'm sorry I

shouldent of said that."Paul said."No Paul its alright.I should leave him.Its

just I never finished collage and I don't have any real skills."she

said."Please don't sell yourself short."Paul said as he gazed into her

eyes.Mary felt like his eyes could see right into her soal."What did you

major in at collage before you droped out?"Paul asked.Mary looked away.Paul

could tell she was embarressed."Writing"she said.Paul put his finger under

her chin and brought her face up to look at him."So you are a writer."he said

smiling at her.Mary shook her head."No Paul.I've never had anything

published.I just write in a note book I keep hidden in the back of my

drawer."she said.Paul could tell that Mary had just shared something with him

that no one else knew about.Paul smiled "I used to do that!When I first

started writing songs."he said.Mary smiled "Well I'm glad you don't hide them

anymore."she said.Paul nodded "Maybe you should share your too."Paul

said.Mary shook her head "People would laugh at me"Mary said."Maybe not."Paul

said.Paul and Mary sat there in silence after there talk for awhile watching

the world around them.Paul closed his eyes as he she leaned against him as

they sat on the bench."Lets skate some more!"Mary said as she nudged Paul

from his daydream.Paul smiled at her as she pulled him to his feet.They

skated all morning as the wind chaped threre cheeks making them bright

red.They laughed and held hands.Steeling kisses and hugs.It was the most

wonderful morning for Mary.She hated it when Paul said."We should be

going."Mary could feel tears coming as she sat down to take off her

skates.She thought this was the end of her day with Paul.Paul reached over

and touched her knee."Don't be sad."he said.Mary tried to smile."We still

have alot to do today."Paul said.Mary's face broke into a smile "I thought

our day was over!"she said.Paul laughed "No way!I said the whole day

togther!"he said smiling at her.

Paul took Mary's hand."Come on my love.I think theres something you would

love to see!"he said.Mary grined."Whats that?"she asked as they turned in

there skates."Would you like to see the Statue of Liberty?"he asked."Oh

yes.I've always wanted to see it!"she said as she leaned up to kiss him.Paul

smiled down at her as he led her to the sidewalk."I'll take you anywhare you

want to go baby."Paul whispered as he looked into her eyes.Paul hailed a cab

keeping his arms around Mary.He held the door open for her.He held her in his

arms as the cab drove down the street.He told her about his childhood growing

up in New York City.He pointed out certien places he went to when he was a

child.Mary smiled as she shared some of her childhood memories.Paul found it

intresting that she had been raised Cathlic."So do you still go to

Church?"Paul asked."Yes every Sunday."she said hoping he didnet think she was

some sort of prude.Paul could tell she was a little uncomfortable as she

tightend in his arms.He kissed the top of her head."Relax were all alone

remember.The only two people on earth."he said.Mary smiled as she relaxed

into his chest as she watched the city go by.They were soon pulling up to the

Ferry that would take them to see the meaning of Freedom to people.The Statue

of Liberty.Freedom something Mary wished she had.

Paul took Mary's hand and pulled her from the cab."We can sit on the third

deck.You will get a great veiw of the city."he said as he led her to the

ferry.Mary's eyes danced as she looked around taking in the wonderful sights

and sounds.Paul put his arm around her as he led her up the steps.Mary

shivered as the wind blew across the open stair case.Paul held her a little

closer.He led her to on of the benches.He pulled her down on his lap as he

sat down.Mary relaxed aginst him as the ferry began its journy across.Paul

kissed the back of her neck as he kept her warm in his arms.Mary smiled as

she looked across the water to see the beautiful city of New York.She let out

a small gasp."Its beautiful isent it!"Paul said.Mary nodded "Yes this is

wonderful."she said.Paul tightend his arms around her."Your beautiful too."he

whispered.His low voice sent tingles of plesure through Mary's body.She

closed her eyes as the ferry made its way across the water."I wish I could

stay like this forever."Mary said.Paul began to sing softly in Mary's

ear."It's forever until my life is thru,girl I'll be lovin you forever"Paul

sang softly as he rocked her in his arms.Mary had never felt so loved as at

that moment as Paul held her and sang those wonderful words.

Paul kissed her ear as he finished the song.Mary turned in his arms to face

him.Paul saw the tears in her eyes."I dident mean to make you cry."he said as

he whiped the warm tears from her cold face.Mary smiled "I love that

song!"she said.Paul sighed as he wished it could be forever.His heart was

beating so fast as he looked into her eyes as the ferry came to a stop.He

knew it at that moment as he looked into her eyes that he had fallen in love

with her and that she felt the same way.He covered her mouth with a kiss.He

was trying not to say the words that would break his heart when she went back

to the arms of her husbend.

 

Mary and Paul steped off the ferry and walked towards the statue.Paul held

her hand as he watched her reaction.Her eyes were so alive as she looked up

at the beautiful statue."Oh Paul look at her!"she said .Paul smiled at

her."Don't you wonder what all the immergrents thought when they first saw

her?"she asked.Paul nodded "Yes I do."he said.Mary turned to him."I bet some

felt relief."she said.Paul laughed "Yes and freedom.Maybe fear."he said.Mary

smiled."I wrote a story once about a man and woman who fell in love on there

journy to America."she said.Mary held her breth as she waited for him to

laugh at her.Paul smiled "I'd love to read it sometime."he said as they

walked towards the statue.Mary looked at him.She kissed him lightly.Thank god

he dident laugh.She thought to herself."Wait a second.We need a camra!"Paul

said as he led her to the gift shop.They walked inside the gift shop.They

felt the warm air hit them as they opened the door.Paul put his arm around

her.Paul picked up one of the throw away camras.Mary looked at the I love NYC

t-shirts that were hanging near the cash register.Paul reached over and held

one up to her."Now that would look nice on you!"he said.Mary laughed "Its to

big!"she said.Paul smiled"You can use it as a night shirt!"he said.Mary shook

her head as she put it back on the rack.Paul grabbed "Let me buy it for

you."he said as he put it on the counter with the camera."Paul no."Mary

protested.Paul grabbed her hand and pulled her close."Let me buy it for

you.You can think about our day when you wear it."he said softly.Mary nodded

as she closed her eyes.She dident even want to think about there day ending.

 

Mary and Paul made there way to top of the statue.They held hands as they

walked the long staircase.They went to the top and looked out of the

crown."My god Paul were so high up!"Mary said as she clutched Paul's
