It was a sex-filled night and was extremely satisfying. Ravina took my mind off my problems. She was as voracious in bed as I was, which made us perfect sex partners. I’d expected her to enjoy it, but she went beyond that, matching me step for step. I did my best to wall up my emotions, but I feared she was breaking them down, brick by brick.

I enjoyed her cheeky attitude, honesty (although sometimes I had to pull it out of her), her meddling (although it had pissed me off before), lush curves, and her fondness for shagging. She was the total dish and it was difficult holding back from telling her.

If Stacey succeeded in gaining back my access to my daughter, then perhaps I could focus on a true relationship with Ravina. If there ever was going to be someone for me, it would probably be her. Even though I wanted to tell her, I refrained.

“I’m starving,” she announced.

“I could eat something too.”

She checked the time and shouted, “Good grief, it’s nearly nine thirty! No wonder we’re hungry. Let’s order in.”

“Fine. What do you fancy?”

“I’ll eat cardboard right now.”

“I’d like something a little tastier than that.” I pulled up my food delivery app and we ordered pizza. Ravina and I threw on our clothes, and I made us something to drink. When the food arrived, we gobbled it up.

“This is so good,” she said, chewing on a piece.

“Yeah, it’s scrummy.”

“I swear, I could eat pizza every day.”

“Not me. I like variety in food.”

“What’s your favorite?”

“Indian cuisine,” I answered. “I love the way all the flavors merge and the way it pops in your mouth.”

“Have you been to The Indian Flower yet?”

“No.”

Ravina rubbed her hands together. “Let’s go tomorrow. You’ll love it.”

“Works for me. I have a lot of painting to get done tomorrow and I have a gig on Saturday. The guys have been handing it to me because I lightened up our schedule.”

“Why’d you do that?”

I ruffled the hair on top of my head and sighed. “I love playing, I do. But art is more lucrative and initially I needed the money to pay for the custody case. It’s a dilemma for sure, but I feel like such a wanker to my mates.”

Ravina grabbed the empty pizza box, along with our plates and napkins, and took them into the kitchen. As she went, she said, “Maybe add a few more gigs but not to the extent you did before?”

“Yeah, but the other guys rely on those gigs. The money is their main source of income. I’ve really let that slide.”

“Are you the only one who sets up the dates you play?”

“Yeah.”

“Why not hand it off to one of the other band members?”

“Now there’s the rub. If I do that, I’ll be playing every night of the week and I can’t keep that up anymore.”

“Sounds as though you’re contemplating quitting.”

“Right, I am. Only I’ll miss it. I know it’s selfish, but I really love playing.”

“Can you fill in on occasion, just to keep yourself in the game?”

A gush of air left my lungs.
