Fonda and Cat
by John A and Virago Blue


Chapter 23


"Shhh . . . Fonda! Your parents might hear us," Trina admonished
Fonda with a giggle. Fonda had discovered that behind her knee
was a tickle spot and he had crawled beneath the covers of his
bed to further explore more tickle spots. Trina squirmed,
squealing as his fingers explored the damp warmth between her
legs. 

"It's impossible for them to hear us. We're on opposite ends of
the house," came Fonda's muffled reply. "Besides, they've always
respected my privacy." Trina looked down at the lump that was
Fonda's head under the sheets, giggling as it closed in on her
open legs. 

Trina could only respond with a throaty moan as Fonda once more
buried his tongue deep inside the velvety folds of her pussy,
licking and sucking her to another throbbing orgasm. She clutched
the blankets with balled fists as she tried to muffle her
screams. As the pulsing between her legs quieted, Trina arched
back against a pillow, spent and sweaty with the tell-tale gleam
of satisfaction emanating from her face. "Oh, Fonda . . . " 

***

"You need to learn. Don't be afraid, I can teach you," Fonda
convinced Trina it was time she learned to drive his car. 

"This is Staten Island. I'll never drive this thing in
Manhattan," Trina said nervously.

"You're just starting . . . don't worry," Fonda soothed. "Pretty
soon, we'll even get you out of the driveway," he teased.

"You sure I won't break it?" Trina asked tentatively.

"Break it?" Fonda chuckled. "If you do, we'll fix it." 

"That doesn't make me feel any better, you know. What if I really
mess up?"

"Well, I'm insured and the car is still under warranty . . . why
else do you think I'm letting you drive it?" Fonda grinned slyly
and Trina chuckled.

"It's easy. You have the coordination. Hop in." Fonda held the
driver's side door open and watched as Trina cautiously slipped
in behind the wheel. "Seat belt."

"I know, I know," Trina playfully rolled her eyes, fastening her
seat belt with a click. "Now what?"

Fonda lowered himself into the passenger's seat, leaning over to
put the keys in the ignition. He explained to her about the
clutch, giving the car a little gas as she shifted gears, easing
off of the clutch while pressing down gently on the gas pedal.
The little car jerked and lurched more often than either one
could count. After about twenty minutes, during which Trina was
able to drive up Fonda's street a grand total of once, she threw
her hands up in frustration.

"This is, like, so pointless." Trina shook her head,
disheartened.

"You're doing fine . . . this was your first day. We'll try again
in a few days," Fonda said encouragingly.

***

Four days later, after Fonda picked Trina up from the theater, he
listened as she spoke on and on about the evening's performance;
apparently one of the dancers missed his mark and Mme. Renault
blasted him after the show, in front of the whole troupe of
dancers.

"It was totally awkward for the rest of us. I mean, I'm glad that
wasn't me. I would have totally lost it."

"You'd best make all of your marks. She sounds like a tough
taskmaster," Fonda sympathized.

"And a half. But I don't have to worry about that," she said
cheekily, grinning widely. "I'm too cute to make a mistake."

Fonda laughed and then winced as he shifted from third to fourth
gear and hoped Trina didn't notice it.

"Is your wrist still bothering you, babe?"

He nodded as he turned down W. 10th street, heading toward
Trina's building. "Shifting from second to third or fourth to
fifth bothers me the most. Cutting bothers me a lot too. . . .
Not good for a restaurant owner not being able to cut things."

Trina smiled sympathetically, brushing her hand down Fonda's arm,
as he found a parking space a half block from Trina's apartment.
The pain in his wrist was more acute than he indicated to Trina.
Whenever he had to do anything strenuous with it, the burning
sensation shot from his fingertips up to his elbow. It had been
getting progressively better, but the pain still plagued him more
than doctors and Kimberly estimated that it would by this point.

"Umm, babe," Trina said as they walked down the street. In the
chill of the early autumn air, Trina's breath steamed in front of
her face."The lights are on. Margie's home. I thought she'd be at
her boss's place tonight"

"That's ok . . . I'm going to have to deal with her eventually.
Nothing ever gets accomplished if you're not willing to confront
matters. This thing with her boss has gone on much longer than I
expected. Doesn't Margie usually blow through men faster than
this?"

Trina chuckled. "Usually. Margie's whole problem is that she
can't keep her legs shut for long enough to get to know a guy. I
think the only thing holding her back now is that she's afraid
what will happen at work. She's gotten a big raise and has been
getting paid for working half-days or not even at all, and I
don't think she wants to risk giving that up."

Fonda shook his head as they approached the door on the fourth
floor. "One of these day's she's going to have to grow up."

Trina playfully placed her hand over Fonda's mouth as she
unlocked the door. The last thing that she wanted was to deal
with a confrontation between Fonda and Margie and his making
comments that were possibly within earshot of her roommate wasn't
going to help matters.

The sounds of the television filtered through the door as Trina
opened it. Margie was sitting in an easy chair, dressed casually
in a sweat shirt and spandex shorts. When they walked in, Margie
smiled sheepishly, and quickly removed her hand from underneath
her shorts. The television was tuned to a cable channel airing
some late-night soft-core film. Margie blushed slightly as she
scrambled to find the remote control and change the channel.

She looked nervously at Fonda as he entered the apartment,
smiling wanly at him before glancing Trina's way.

"Hello Margie," Fonda took a deep breath. The look of contrition
on Margie's face was genuine, and Fonda could tell that she was
sorry about what had happened.

"Hey Margie," Trina said with a smirk. "You keep that up and your
fingers will start looking like prunes."

Margie stuck out her tongue playfully at her best friend and
blushed deeply. "Hi guys."

Trina went into the kitchen to get a bottle of juice as Fonda sat
on the couch. The atmosphere in the room was tense, neither one
of them really sure of what to say to each other.

"Uh, Fonda . . . I, uh . . . I just want to say how sorry I am
abou -- "

He cut her off with a generous smile. "I know, Margie. What's
happened has happened. It's over. And everything has worked out
fine."

"Yeah, but you were mugged and in a coma. I feel like total shit
for that."

"Circumstances," he shrugged off understandingly. "Who's to say
things would have been any different?"

Margie smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, the weight of the
confrontation with Fonda now eased greatly. "So we're all cool?"

"Yes. As far as I'm concerned we are." Fonda nodded, before
getting up to follow Trina into her bedroom.

"'Night guys," Margie called out. "Don't do anything that I
wouldn't do."

Trina turned and smiled. "Is there *anything* that you wouldn't
do?"

When Fonda closed the door behind him, Trina immediately stripped
her clothes and flopped playfully on her bed, a wide grin gracing
her face as she stared into Fonda's dark eyes.

Fonda undressed slowly, carefully hanging his clothes on the back
of a chair before sliding next to the woman he loved. He kissed
Trina passionately, his hand tracing circles on her breasts and
stomach. She moaned into his mouth and could feel herself getting
wet already. She closed her eyes and reveled in the pleasures he
could bring her. Never had any man had such an effect on Trina
and she was overwhelmed at how easily she got aroused by the
slightest of contact with him. 

Sex for Trina had never fully been the 'special' event most of
her friends had made it out to be. Sure, she enjoyed it if her
partner was any good, but too often for her it had been a
diversion, something to do at the end of a date instead of an
event all of itself. More often than not, Trina had gone through
the motions, playing her role as her partners played theirs,
locked into the miasma of meaninglessness.

With Fonda it was different. Where once her orgasms had been weak
or non-existent, now they were powerful and bursting with life.
She got aroused by simply holding his hand, walking with him in
the park, or down the block on a Sunday morning to the little
Jewish bakery where they'd get their bagels with cream cheese and
lox. Their mere togetherness was more special to her than any
countless number of relationships that she'd had in the past and
it at once both enthralled and terrified her. She had fallen hard
for him, of that she was certain. She was also without doubt as
to his feelings for her. But love was all such unchartered
territory for Trina, a beachhead calm and tranquil on the
surface, yet beneath, fraught with dangers and pitfalls both
subtle and gross. The enormity of the emotions she felt was
almost too much to bear.

She looked down at him, her shining light, her hero, eagerly
sloshing his tongue over her impassioned and swollen sex. She ran
her hands through his thick black hair and allowed herself a
smile as she thought that she -- and only she -- was at the
center of this man's universe. Her smile grew even broader as she
realized that it was only Fonda who was at the center of hers,
too.

***

Trina looked over and smiled at Fonda in satisfaction. She had
just driven from the marina where Fonda's boat was moored after
spending a couple of days sailing around New York Harbor. Fonda
wasn't comfortable going too far from land with his wrist still
in pain, but it didn't matter to Trina. She knew that she would
go with this man wherever he took her.

"See? I knew you could do it, Cat. Now, why don't you drive us to
the restaurant?"

"Really? You trust me to do that?" Trina asked, looking at Fonda
as if he was crazy.

"Yes, I trust you completely. . . .  Plus, my car has a passenger
side air bag."

She chuckled. "No way. Not into the city. I mean, I've gotten so
I can tool around Staten Island ok, but I am *so* not ready for
the city."

"Why not? It's Saturday and traffic's not bad."

"Really? You think?" she asked again. She was nervous and excited
at the same time. She was beginning to like driving and she knew
there wasn't a challenge for a driver as tough as Manhattan this
side of Indy.

Fonda nodded and Trina smiled, easing the car into first gear.

They arrived at the restaurant a little before the lunch crowd.
Trina sat at her favorite table by the window while Fonda
disappeared into the kitchen to help with preparations. She
watched the crowds on the street outside her window, wondering if
those people were as content as she was at this very moment. She
smiled, sipping at her water, not noticing Stavros when he sat in
the chair opposite.

"Good morning, Trina. How did you enjoy the boat?"

"Oh, Stav, it was so cool. I loved being out on the water," she
gushed, then leaned forward and began to talk softly. "Don't tell
Fonda this, but I was so nervous going out there. We started
talking about it a couple of weeks ago and I was, like,
irrationally afraid."

"Why?"

Trina shrugged self-consciously. "I guess because we were going
to go on the boat and then we had the big fight and then he was
attacked. . . . I don't know."

Stavros smiled reassuringly. "That's over. You two are together
and happy. Corky and the two attackers are in jail and everything
is back to normal."

She smiled.

"I hear from Fonda that you had a busy morning," he said

"I actually drove into the city, myself. Can you believe it?"
Trina gushed. "I mean, I was so afraid, you know? But he's so
patient and everything. I'm, like, just so lucky." Trina blushed
at Stavros, bringing the water glass to her lips.

"It's a good thing you learned to drive. Fonda has still been
having some problems with that one hand. He needs to give it a
rest and this might be a big help to him."

"I know. I think it's worse than he admits."

"I see how he holds it sometimes. Kimberly has been seeing him
frequently . . . hell, he sees her more than I do," Stavros
laughed. "She says it's getting better, but not as quickly as it
should be."

"Anything I can do, just let me know."

Stavros nodded, turning to look at the door as a crowd of people
milled through the door. "Another busy day. Gregory didn't show
up today. We're going to be short-handed," Stavros said, turning
back to Trina, "I better check on things in the kitchen. You'll
be okay?" Stavros asked, a hand on Trina's shoulder.

"Oh yeah, I'll be fine. Hey, if you need any help maybe I can do
something," Trina offered with a shrug, "I could, like, seat
people or take orders. I think I can do that."

"I'll keep that in mind." Stavros hurried back to the kitchen,
nodding a greeting to one of the customers.

Trina turned back to her people-watching and day dreaming. A
noisy lunch time crowd was beginning to gather and more people
queued out front, waiting to be seated in the popular restaurant.
Fonda, Stavros and few of the other wait staff ran back and forth
between tables, taking orders and filling requests. Trina watched
and worried about Fonda, noticing how he held his injured hand
close to his chest at times. Fonda disappeared once again into
the kitchen and Stavros followed. 

Minutes later Stavros burst through the door of the kitchen,
waving Trina over. She hurriedly walked over to him. "What is
it?"

"Fonda needs some help in the kitchen. It's his hand."

Trina pushed past Stavros and entered the busy kitchen. Fonda
stood at a cutting board, clutching his hand to the front of his
white apron. "I'm sorry, Cat. I need to ask a favor," Fonda began
apologetically.

"Ask me anything," Trina said, looking askance at the dead fish
on the cutting board.

Fonda sighed. "That big crowd that just came in -- the ones
dressed all in black and with the earrings all over the place --
they've requested a special order. I considered telling them I
didn't have this fish today but since Marcus Venicia is in the
group--"

"Marcus Venicia? The one that just directed the film that won at
Cannes?" Trina gawked, peering out the kitchen door's porthole
window. "That's so cool."

Fonda harrumphed. "Yes, I think that's the one -- what a pain in
the ass they are. Anyway, he wants a special fish prepared a
special way and I'm having some problems with my hand. Stavros is
running his ass off trying to keep these people happy and Gregory
decided that he just wasn't going to show up today so we're
short-handed," Fonda paused, grimacing as he gripped his wrist,
"I hate to ask this, knowing how you feel about fish . . . "

Trina swallowed. "No, Fonda, that's okay. I want to help out.
Really.  Do you need me to take it back to one of the guys in the
market or something?"

Fonda shook his head, "No, Cat.  I need you to help me prepare
it."

"Oh, like, help you get the ingredients and all?  I can do that,"
Trina said with a hopeful nod, once more casting a glance at the
large fish positioned on the cutting board.  She held back the
urge to grimace and shudder.

Fonda sighed, shaking his head.  

"Oh. Wait. You need to *prepare* the fish?  Like, clean it?" 
Trina asked, biting her lip. She breathed deeply. Finally, she
had a chance to show Fonda how much she could help him by taking
some of the work load from him so that he could recover from his
injuries. She still felt somewhat responsible for his pain and
wanted to do anything possible to help him -- even if it meant
gutting a slimy fish.  

"Okay. I can get over the icky fish thing if it means I'm helping
out. Just tell me what I need to do." Trina groaned inwardly as
she stared down at the huge fish, its one bulgy eye staring back
at her. "I mean, it . . . uh, can't be all that hard, right? Can
it?" She scrunched her brows and looked distastefully at the
fish.

Fonda smiled apologetically. "I know how you feel about fish. But
really, this will be a big help." 

"That table is very demanding, Fonda. Very demanding. Fresh salt
shakers now," Stavros appeared behind Fonda and sighed in
exasperation, waving a handful of crystal salt shakers in front
of him. "What will it be next?"

"Oh, I can do that, just show me where the salt is kept," Trina
replied eagerly, trying to distance herself from the fish.

"I've already sent Valerie over with fresh salt, of all things.
And the centerpieces today. The one with pink hair says the
mixing of stargazers and daisies is aesthetically dull. You know
what I say? 'The mixing of pink hair and black eyebrows is
aesthetically nauseating,'" he joked and Trina giggled.

"She has actually removed all the daisies," Stavros continued,
shaking his head. "And now she complains about pollen from the
stargazers. And get this: I have to bring fresh linens since now
she feels the others are contaminated." Stavros emerged from
around the corner, a pile of crisp white linens in his arms.
"Let's hope they tip well."

"Add an extra twenty percent for a pain-in-the-ass fee." Fonda
looked back at Trina, the exasperation showing plainly on his
face. "You see? It's a madhouse today."  Fonda shook his head,
massaging his wrist.

"Ok, what do I do?" She steeled herself. There was nothing in the
world that Trina could think of  that disgusted her more than
touching the fish that lay in front of her on the cutting block,
staring up at her with it's one lifeless eye.

"Reach inside the stomach cavity of the fish, where the cut has
been made, and jerk out the insides."

"Ewww. Aren't there places that people get their fish cleaned and
stuff? You should use one of those."

"You mean, like a fish market?" he raised an eyebrow and grinned.

Trina blushed, scrunching her face in a slightly embarrassed
snicker. "Okay. Ha ha."

"All you have to do," Fonda instructed, "is to reach into the
stomach cavity, grab on tightly, and tug."

"You mean, like, with my hands?"

"Would it be easier with your feet?" he teased, then held up a
pair of blood-spattered gray gloves.. "I have some gloves."

"Uh, no. That's okay. I can do this . . . really." Trina washed
her hands at the sink before flexing her fingers and hovered over
the fish, taking a deep breath. "Just, like, shove my hand in
there and pull out what I can grab?"

"Yes, that's right." 

"Okay." Trina steeled herself, flexing her fingers again. "Okay,
here goes. Man, you're lucky I love you," she said, smiling.

Trina eased her hand into the gut of the fish, grimacing in
disgust as her hand felt around. "Oh . . . oh yuck. This is *so*
freakin' gross, babe. . . . Okay, I got the squishy parts -- wait
. . . am I supposed to feel something like, really hard?"

"Hard?"

"Yeah, like, this fish must have . . . oh, gross . . . swallowed
something." She yanked her hand from the fish and took two
fearful steps back, afraid of what she might find inside the
fish.

"Swallowed something?  That's possible.  We keep an old coffee
can under the sink full of all the little treasures we come
across while cleaning the fish.  Once Stavros pulled out a subway
token, and a partially digested--"

"Whoa! Okay. That's more than enough information," Trina winced. 
"I'll just yank it out and you take it. I don't even have to look
at it, do I?"

"I suppose not. But aren't you just a little bit curious as to
what a fish that large can swallow?  It's amazing sometimes.  We
added a glass eyeball to our collecti--"

"No. Nuh uh. Just . . . shhhh," Trina interjected before Fonda
could finish. Her stomach was lurching enough as it was. The last
thing Trina needed was for Fonda to be giving her color
commentary.

Fonda smiled. "Sorry. The fish is dead, babe. You shouldn't feel
anything move," Fonda reassured her with a playful smile.

"Oh, great. I hadn't thought of moving parts."

"Just pull it out and let's see," he said, looking over her
shoulder.

"This is just too disgusting." Trina forced her hand back into
the fish, inching it toward the hard obstruction. Grabbing ahold
of it and yanking, she pulled it out from the insides of the
large fish. She swallowed again, not wanting to look down at her
hand. 

"Ooooh . . . oooh.  Gross, Fonda . . . What is it?" Trina
squeaked, her curiosity getting the best of her.

Fonda guided her to the sink, running her hand under the water.
Trina chanced a look down at her hand and gasped. "Oh my God! Oh
my God! Oh my God!" She squealed repeatedly, looking down at her
hand, then at Fonda, then back down at her hand.

Fonda smiled. Stavros appeared from around the corner, a big grin
on his face.

"What . . . what's this?" Trina stammered in disbelief, holding a
large diamond solitaire in front of her face.

Fonda slowly bent down on one knee and Trina's lower lip started
quivering . "From the first day I saw you, Cat, I knew I had to
get to know you. At first I was attracted to your beauty, but my
attraction to you grew as time went on. I fell in love with the
inner Trina -- the Trina who could make the dog from Hell warm
up; the Trina who blushes when I open a door for her. I fell in
love with the Trina who tries to wear such a hard-bitten facade,
yet can't help but show her soft side at the most touching
moments.

"I've never forced anyone to clean fish for an unpaid bill but I
couldn't think of any other way to convince you that you should
be in my debt -- the fish-cleaning was Stavros' idea, anyway.
Now, I'm the one who is indebted to you, forever. I love you,
Cat. Will you marry me?" Fonda's face grew serious as he studied
Trina's shocked expression.

Trina stared down at Fonda, her mouth agape, and thrust herself
into his arms. "You . . . and . . . oh, Fonda, I love you so
much. Yes, I'll marry you!"



EPILOGUE


"Five, six, seven, eight --" Trina counted, demonstrating the
steps once more.  "There ya go, very good.  That's it."  She
watched as the little girl, a tiny mirror image of her father,
danced around the studio.

Fonda slapped a hand over his face.  "Cat, the child should be
dancing in pink tu-tus and making like a butterfly.  This, this .
. . "  Fonda sighed, giving up with a smile as his daughter
launched herself into his arms.

"Daddeeeee . . . tu-tus are like for babies."  Fonda chuckled as
he hugged their daughter close.

"Right.  For babies.  How silly of me."  Fonda smiled at his wife
over the top of their five-year-old's head, squeezing once more
before she wriggled from his lap. 

Fonda looked into his wife's eyes as she watched the  young
dancers go through their movements, supervising the various
groups..

"Do you miss it Cat?" 

"Miss what?  The dancing?"

He nodded as their daughter ran off with her group.

"A little. I had a nice run. I danced with the ballet for 6 years
and got to leave on my own terms. I mean, the last two years I
was the lead dancer -- a prima ballerina. How many people get to
live out their life's dream? And by opening this school, I can
share my dancing with kids and do some 
choreography, myself. I don't have to give it up. I'm having fun
with this. Teaching these kids to dance has been more fun then I
ever thought it would be."

"You never cease to amaze me," Fonda wrapped his arm around
Trina's shoulder and kissed the top of her head "But, for now, I
have to get back to work. With Stavros on vacation, things are
very hectic. I parked the Volvo on 68th street, near 7th avenue,
so you'll only have to walk a few blocks when you leave. I'm
going to grab a cab downtown."

Trina leaned up and kissed her husband of ten years and then
called out to her daughter. "Isabella, come give daddy kisses
goodbye, he has to go to work."

Isabella ran and jumped up into her father's strong arms, and
planted a sloppy kiss on his lips. "Bye, daddy. I love you."

"Bye, princess. I love you too. You listen to your mother and
have a nice class. I'll see you at home later." He placed the
child back on the floor and watched his daughter prance away to
the group she was in. As Trina watched a group of older dancers,
Fonda grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back against his
chest.

"Oh, what's this?" she asked, snuggling into her husband's broad
chest.

"A hint of what's to come later tonight," Fonda replied,
breathing near his wife's ear.  He playfully nipped her earlobe.
Trina turned her head and met his open mouth with hers.  

"Mmmm, I can't wait." Trina kissed Fonda one last time before
pulling away with a sigh.  

As he exited the dance studio, he looked back at his wife and
smiled. All through his life he had worked hard, always
succeeding at what he did but wondering if he'd ever find the
woman of his dreams to share it with -- until Cat walked into his
restaurant and his life. He thought about the last ten years and
realized that with her, his dreams had come true.


END


A note to the readers:

Well, it's finally over. After twenty-three chapters (plus epilogue)
that encompassed almost 50,000 words, Fonda and Cat has finally come 
to a close. Did you enjoy it? We certainly hope that you did. If you
did, do you know what you can do now? You can send us an email about it.
Why, you ask, should I do that? Well, for one thing, Virago and I put in
about nine months of work on the story. And how much did we charge for
that effort?  Correct, exactly nothing. ZIP. ZILCH. NADA. It was free. 
FREE. 

Do you know what's the only payment we get for all our effort? Emails 
from readers. That's it. That's our only payment. Is it too much to 
ask for you to spend 2 or 3 minutes in writing an email to us in payment 
for something that we spent nine months on? I don't think it is. And 
it doesn't have to be this huge literary critique, either. Some of 
the nicest emails I've gotten have been ones that simply read, 
"Thanks for the story, I loved it." Now that's not to say that we 
don't enjoy letters that go into detail about what you liked about 
a story. Those are very enjoyable and rewarding and some have been
very influencial and inspirational in my writing. But, that being said, I
know how time can be short. Everyone of us is busy and I know how going 
into something long and thought-out just might not fit into your schedules.
That's why a short simple letter would be very appreciated and would show
to us that our almost year-long effort was not in vain and was appreciated
by you, the readers.

Now, I know some of you out there might be afraid of someone finding out 
that you read sex stories, and that's valid. Before I started writing, I 
was a reader too and afraid of someone finding out that I read the stories
too. But one day I decided to create another mailbox at AOL and send some
letters of thanks to writers whose stories I enjoyed. And they responded,
which felt kind of good, knowing that my letter made them feel good about 
their writing. But I do understand the need for anonymity. Hell, I wouldn't
write these stories if it wasn't anonymously. But you can get anonymous 
e-mail boxes from hotmail, or yahoo, or any number of other places. 

And know that if you send something in, it will be very much appreciated.


Now, here's a personal note. I have to say that my work with Virago Blue
has been an amazingly rewarding and fun experience. Bouncing ideas and 
dialogue lines off of each other was more fun than I would have thought,
and watching the story progress from its infancy to its conclusion was 
truly a fantastic collaborative experience. I truly think that the story
merged our two styles well and would not have been nearly the story it was 
if we'd worked on it individually.

I must say that it was a pleasure, privelege, and honor to work with 
someone as talented as Virago. And it was truly enjoyable to have 
collaborated on such a large a project with someone whom I would describe
with a word I do not use lightly: friend.
