It Is What It Is (Short Story) by Manswell Peterson

Chapter 1
    Mykal Roman took one final look at his Miami home. Boxes were stacked neatly waiting for the movers to load them in the Pod shipper and ship them to Atlanta the following morning. He sighed deeply, as he remembered the fantastic times he had in Miami. Now it was off to Atlanta, where his dream of owning his own limo company would finally become a reality.
    A devilish smile tugged at the corners of his sexy mouth as he considered the amazing woman who dared him to dream it was possible, Victoria Dickerson. His dick stiffened at just the thought of her name.
    Mykal chuckled, “Victoria Dickerson, woman you are one hell of a ride. I’ll miss you most of all.”
    “Sure, that’s what you say now. I bet you’ll have some pretty blonde on her knees, sucking this big, hard mahogany dick within one hour after you land at Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Hell, you’ll probably find some horny little stewardess to do it for you before you even land.” Victoria whined as she hugged his waist from the rear and coyly slid her hands along the front of his slacks. “Oh, Rome why do you have to go? Why can’t you just start your business, here in Florida?”
    Mykal did not answer her immediately. Victoria’s nimble, long fingers had worked his zipper and relieved his large, swollen manhood from the restraints of his pants. It was hard, it was menacing and it wanted a taste of pussy.  His eyes closed slowly as her soft hand slowly traveled up and down the length of his very impressive dick. It felt wonderful and Mykal had to admit that he hated leaving her behind.
    Now, Victoria and Mykal loved each other, but they were not what you would call in love. In fact, they weren’t even a couple. They were very good friends with extremely rewarding benefits. Victoria was a free spirit who refused to be tied down or control by any man, not even her insanely rich husband Richard Dickerson, or Tricky Dick as Mykal often referred to him.
    Victoria met Mykal five years earlier and fell head over ass in love with his ten and a half inch rock solid, always hard dick. Their brief one night affair turned into a mutually beneficial friendship that they both enjoyed to this very day. She never promised Mykal more than an eager pussy and a hungry mouth and he never wanted it.
    Victoria was slightly older than Mykal, had married twice for money and as far as he knew didn’t have any kids and didn’t want any. Mykal, who was now thirty two, was tired of chasing tail. His friends with benefits relationship with Victoria had allowed him to virtually OD on Miami pussy. He was sick of the chase and just wanted to be called, dad.
    Victoria neither shared his values or his dreams of starting a family. Mykal knew that even if he managed to convince Victoria to leave her rich husband and move to Atlanta with him it would never work. Mykal was ready to start a family and Victoria was just ready to start a party. Nothing about her screamed soccer mom and that was what Mykal was looking for.
    Like it or not, the handsome young bachelor had to admit that his biological clock was ticking loud and fast. Mykal longed for a son and a daughter and he was prepared to give up his hoeing ways to get them. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do that in Miami.
    Mykal had blown through a small arena of Miami women and there was nowhere he could go were his name and reputation did not preceded him. Sadly, his time in Miami was officially up. It was time to shred his pro-players card and allow himself to fall in love for the first time in his life.
    Mykal loved Victoria, she was good to him and brought him any and everything his heart fancied. He just wasn’t in love with her. She was one of his best friends, but that was far as it went. Somewhere in her thirty nine years of life, Victoria had been damaged and Mykal instinctively knew he didn’t have the time or the patience to repair her. Besides, she was already on rich husband number two and
