Minimal sex in this chapter but bear with me. Multiple tragedies strike the home as a sexual encounter takes an unexpected turn and Melanie isolates herself.
As I made my way back to my room I was sad at the way things turned out but the sex with Melanie was incredible. I’d be disappointed If she decided to end things but I still have Mary and the extremely sexy Sherry Stevens on my dance card.
Just as I got to my room Mary came up to me with tears in her eyes and said, “David, I need you.” She tried to wrap her arms around me but I was tired and after dealing with Melanie I just wanted to go to bed.
I pushed her arms away and said, “I can’t do this now Mary. I’m tired and I just want to go to bed. So please go home and we’ll talk in the morning.”
She followed me into my room and said in a panic, “You misunderstood me David. Something terrible has happened and I don’t know what to do!”
She sobbed into her hands and I led her to the couch and said, “I’m sorry Mary but you need to calm down and tell me what happened.”
Between sobs she said, “It’s Roger. I think I killed him.”
“What do you mean you killed him!” I exclaimed.
She said, “Well I was feeling a bit down and he was so nice when he walked me home I decided to invite him into my room. One thing led to another and now he’s dead.”
“Hold on,” I said. “You mean he died after having sex with you”
“During,” she said.
I said, “Oh Mary, I’m so sorry. What an awful thing to happen.”
“I mean he was doing so well and he gave me such a nice orgasm I decided to suck his cock. Apparently that was too much for him and just as he started cumming in my mouth he grabbed his chest and then I couldn’t get a response from him.”
“I see,” I said. “Let’s go to your room and I’ll help you.”
“Thank you David, I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
When we got to her room I found Roger naked in her bed. After feeling for a pulse to verify that poor old Roger had the ultimate happy ending I said, “The first thing is to clean him up and get him dressed then I’ll phone for help. It would be too embarrassing for you to have this get out.”
Mary got a wash cloth and cleaned him and I took care of dressing him then moved him to the couch. I called the front desk and Sherry Stevens answered. “Hello Mary this is David Swane. I need you to come down to Mary Adams room. We need your help.”
She said, “Hello David, I’m just finishing some paperwork so I’ll be down in 30 minutes.”
“You don’t understand Miss Stevens,” I said. “We need you now. I think Roger Welch is dead.”
She exclaimed, “What did you just say?” I told her again and she said, “I’ll be right down.”
Sherry arrived with the night nurse and after confirming there was no pulse she asked the nurse to call for an ambulance and the coroner. She left to make the call and Sherry asked, “I’ll need to make a report for his family so I’m going to need some more information from you Mrs. Adams. Can you tell me exactly what happened?”
Mary was overcome with grief so I said, “Mary told me that Roger walked her to her room and they were having coffee when he grabbed his chest and became unresponsive. That’s when she came to get me. I couldn’t find a pulse so I called you.”
She asked, “Is that correct Mary? Is there anything else you need to tell me?”
Mary shook her head and managed to say, “No, the poor thing just grabbed his chest and passed out. I didn’t know what to do so I got David.”
“Alright then,” she said. “I think it would be best for you to go to David’s room and I’ll come get you if I need anything else.”
I said, “Thank you Miss Stevens, I’ll take good care of her,” as I led Mary to my room.
When we got to my room I asked, “Is there anything I can do for you Mary?”
She shook her head and said, “No, just hold me please.”
We sat on the couch and I comforted her as best I could until there was a knock on the door. I answered it and the coroner came in with Sherry to confirm what happened. After he was satisfied he said, “I’m very sorry for your loss Mrs. Adams. We’ll take good care of Mr. Welch so you’re free to go back to your room if you’d like.”
After they left she said, “I can’t be alone in that room tonight David. Can I please stay here with you?”
“Of course my dear. Get into bed and I’ll be there in a few minutes,” I said.
I went to the bathroom to get ready and stripped down to my underwear before getting into bed. Mary had calmed down and was sobbing quietly so I took her in my arms and said, “There, there, Mary. Everything will be OK. Just relax and try to sleep.”
She kissed me and said, “Thank you David, I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
After a few moments her breathing slowed and we fell asleep in each other’s arms.
At breakfast Miss Stevens informed all the residents of Roger’s passing and there were many tears shed. While death in an assisted living facility is not uncommon it’s still difficult for the guests. Everyone ate in silence and I noticed that Melanie was not at breakfast. I asked Sherry if she had seen Melanie.
She said, “She’s fine Mr. Swane. I went to her room to check on her and she said she wasn’t feeling well and wanted to spend the day in her room. Unfortunately I had to tell her the sad news and she didn’t take it well.”
“I see,” I said. “This is just terrible.”
The mood remained somber throughout the day as the guests went about their business. Later I was sitting with Mary at dinner when Melanie appeared and sat at her usual table. She was crying and her friends did their best to console her. I tried to catch her eye but she would not look at me.
Mary said, “That’s strange. Why is Melanie giving us the cold shoulder? Did something happen last night?”
I said, “We didn’t end on the best note last night and now with the news about Roger.”
“I see,” she said. “Is there anything I can do?”
“I think we just need to give her some time to sort things out and decide what she wants to do going forward,” I said.
Given the days events no one felt like doing much of anything so after dinner I walked Mary to her room and kissed her goodnight. I thought about stopping by Melanie’s room but decided to leave her be and make my way back to my room. The thought occurred to me that this would be my first night alone since I came here and I found myself looking forward to a good nights sleep.
