Tonight I was with Terrance. 54 , divorced, tax attorney , 3 kids - all college graduates , owns a 4 bedroom home on 3 acres of land. He worked hard in his younger days , so now all he's doing is spending well earned money, while also still getting money from stocks and investments. He's never been one of the biggest givers , but he gives enough. He knocked on the door and I opened it wearing a purple lace lingerie piece. Purple was his favorite color . He was very specific , he knew there was no sex involved but for the past 9 months , every time he comes to see me I must be in lingerie , that's an automatic $350 right there. "You look good enough to eat" he smiled wrapping both his arms around me , I kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you. Come sit , how's work been?"
"Listen , Cyn , I wanted to come here to talk to you." he sat down and took both my hands in his. "You're a great woman , I love everything about you , but-" I laughed , "Listen , this isn't a relationship you don't have to break up with me Terrance." he chuckled himself , "I've had some guys have kids and have no more free time , I've seen guys fall in love with new women , I've seen guys fall back in love with their wives - I've seen it all so you owe me no explanation. It has been great getting to know you and I appreciate everything you've ever done for me." he smiled and leaned over to give me a kiss on the lips , I allowed it. He reached into his pocket and put an envelope on the table, "Take care gorgeous." he smiled then left. I called Donald , "Hey , you busy ? Can you get away? The oaks , I'll be waiting." I hung up and looked at the envelope on the table. I picked it up and put it in my purse , I'd look at it later. I sat around , drank a couple glasses of remy that I still had in the fridge. My attention went to the door when I heard 3 soft knocks. I smiled and got up , I peeked through the peephole as I always did , good thing I did , it was Melvin's dog ass. I quickly grabbed my all black robe and wrapped it around me . I opened the door , "Hey Mel , everything alright ?" It was late , 10:30. "There was a break in at the gas station down the street , cops are lined up , wanted to come and make sure you were okay, if you want you can take a room in the main building tonight, up front."
"Oh wow , anyone hurt?"
"Nah , 2 guys , they got 1 , one is still running , won't be long before he's caught, but its not a good idea to be back here alone.
"Thanks Melvin, but -"
"Hello" Donald said with a bag in one hand and flowers in the other , "And here he is , This is Donald , Donald this is Melvin , the owner of the Oaks. We go way back." Donald tucked the flowers in his arm before reaching out to shake Melvin's hand. "Nice to meet you man." Donald said , "Likewise" Melvin replied , then turned back to me , "Remember what I said , you two be safe." He walked off and Donald came inside. "Was he talking about the robbery down the street?" he put the bag down. "Yeah . I guess you seen the cops on your way here." he nodded , handing me the flowers. "Thanks handsome , where did you find these so late?"
"I got my ways" he smiled and sat down . "I brought some of your favorite red wine too." he kicked off his shoes and loosened his tie , he was getting comfortable. He turned on the TV as I got us some glasses , before I returned I untied my robe . As I walked past him it hung open , grabbing his attention immediately. "Wow Cynthia , that color on you , that lingerie on you - perfect." he said , watching my every move. "I was hoping you liked it."
"So tell me , " he cut the TV off , "You invited me here because you missed me ? Or you've had time to think?"
"I wanted you" he seemed surprised by my response. I was the main one to make it super clear that this was nothing sexual , I understood his confusion. "You sure?" he asked. "yeah. Just been thinking a lot more about you since our last meet up and . . . if we are going to make something out of this . . . we mines well see if we fit one another."
"Cynthia I didn't bring any protection , I didn't think-"
"I got it - come on , lets go lay down." I stood up and took his hand , slowly leading him to the bed. "Let the magic begin" I whispered in his ear.
