Click here"I thought it was customary to send flowers to someone who makes you the happiest man alive." I was trying not to let my amused tone come through, but I was failing miserably.
"You have every woman in the place trying to figure out what's going on." His fake anger just wasn't cutting it.
I started to laugh. "And what am I supposed to do about it?"
I could feel his grin through the receiver. "Pick me up for lunch."
I swallowed. "The office ready for that?"
"They better be. If I'm changing my contact information, I'm damn well going to show off the reason why."
I really didn't think I was worth of being "shown off", but the fact that he wanted to just melted my heart. "I'll get out of here in a half hour. I should get there by twelve."
"See you then." He hung up and I found myself sweating as I buzzed my secretary and told her I'd be leaving for an early lunch.
I got to Josh's office a few minutes before twelve, gave my name at the front desk and was directed to his office. I think the eye of every woman I passed on the way there was on me. I had no idea what he told them, but when I got to his secretary, she looked up at me but seemed a little distracted. "May I help you?"
"I'm Zachary Johnson; I'm here to pick up Josh for lunch?"
I almost laughed at her reaction. The startled expression on her face said everything. Obviously, Josh had told them something like "the reason for the flowers will be picking me up for lunch".
She fumbled with the phone and buzzed in. "Mr. Winters, your date is here?" I could hear him chuckling on the other end. "He'll be right out."
I waited, and Josh came out a few moments later with his coat over his arm. As usual, he was cool as a cucumber while I was sweating like a pig. He leaned over and gave me a quick peck on the lips. "Hey babe."
I think his secretary was about to pass out. Josh noticed. "Breathe Jesse." He smiled at her and she just shook her head.
"That wasn't a nice thing to do, Mr. Winters." She didn't sound hurt so much as embarrassed. "You could have at least told me the gender of your date."
He chuckled. "Well, now you know. You'll be seeing a lot more of him, so ask the front desk to just let him through in the future."
Jesse did get to see a lot more of me. Josh and I made it a habit of having lunch at least twice a week. Half the time he came to my office and the other half I came to his. We caused quite a stir, but we worked for progressive companies so there wasn't any backlash.
It was five years later, at the twenty-fifth reunion, when we shocked our classmates with another unexpected surprise by being there as a couple. Most of our classmates either approved or didn't care; the others could just go screw themselves. We had our family, our friends, and each other. In the end, that was all that really mattered.
This author has the knack of writing in such a way as to bring a smile to my face and a glow to my heart.
I can only say a massive thank you.
What a positive, healthy, love story-- the interactions with the kids, the ex, the friend, and with each other. This story and others by this author are a breath of fresh air.
Nice, but this is literotica, not just lit, so a bit more explicit sex scenes would be nice. It feels almost PG13 :(
Your tales seem to get better,, since me being the other side of 50 and fast approaching 60, I can't Cum as often as I like , but I do enjoy the journey of getting there. If you know what I mean. Lol. By the way keep up the good work.
Truly loved this story. It was sweet, romantic, humorous, real, and eventually hot! Just came across it and note that it's been a really long time since you have posted a story. Hope that you are still "out there" and will share your talent again in the near future. You really are a great writer. I will now go on to Ch 2. Thanks for writing.
This was a great story with a slow buid up in their relationship but it was good. I'm glad to see a second part b/c I felt like it was ende right when they were moving forward in their relationship and I wanted to 'see' more of it. The other characters, esp. the kids, were fun too.
Wonderful story.Great build up.Fabulous characters.Keeping it real.
