Drunken Catharsis Chapter 11

Chapter 11

She and Bo arrived at the ball, Bo guided her. She looked around.

“What is with all the press?”
Bo shrugged.

“You know our mayor, more press the better.”
Nora looked at him.

“Bad for you, because there is no way you’ll get me out of public view.”
Bo raised his eyebrows.

“I think that was a challenge.”
Nora started to give a response when the mayor came over.

“Oh good you two came together, it always better if you two don’t have dates.”
Nora looked at Bo who looked just as confused as her.

“Um why?”
The mayor took a drink.

“No jealousy or trying to get each other’s attention.”
Nora felt herself blush, she knew he was right. Bo quickly changed the subject.

“So why is there so much press?”
“Don’t know. I have to make my speech.”
Bo put his hand on her back as they moved to the center of the room. The mayor began to talk. She soon felt very bored. Bo gently tugged at her hand, she smiled and let him quietly sneak out of the room.

She giggled when he pulled her into an empty room. Their lips meet. She sighed. Even after all these years he could still make her body come alive with kissing. She gasped as he pushed her against the wall and started to kiss down her neck. She gently pushed him away.

“Not that wasn’t enjoyable, but we shouldn’t.”
Bo smiled and kissed her again.

“I had to meet the challenge.”
Nora laughed.

“I’ll have to challenge you more often.”

Bo answered by kissing her again. He let her go and looked back to the other room.

“Think the wind bag is done?”
“We better get in there before he finishes and pray he doesn’t ask us what we think of his speech.”
Bo took her hand heading towards the main room.

“Easy, great. Llanview’s future really is in your hands.”

She held in a laugh as they entered the main hall. The mayor seemed to be wrapping his speech up, but the press seemed uninterested. She looked at Bo confused as the press started to look at their phones. They were such a distraction the mayor stopped talking.

“Is there something going on?”

One of the journalist handed him their phone, Nora felt her heart drop as all eyes moved to her and Bo.

The mayor got off the stage and went directly to them.

“You two follow me.”
She meet Bo’s eyes, his eyes looked as concerned as she felt. They followed him out of the room, everyone’s eyes following them out.

“Explain this.”
The mayor lifted the phone, Nora felt the breath leave her body. It was a picture of them from the night they had made love.
