Dominique was leaning against the island in the kitchen, his mom sitting across from him on a barstool. He looked at me and smiled before walking over to me. I was nervous since I had never met his mom, only heard stories from Dominique. And I was afraid she would be able to tell that I had just spent the last few hours in bed with her son.
“Mom, this is Lennie. Lennie my mom Sherri.”
She was beautiful, with mocha colored skin and the same blue eyes as Dominique. Her long black hair was pulled into a low ponytail.
“I finally get to meet the woman that has captured my baby boys heart!” she stood up and waked over to me. “You’re just as beautiful as he described.”
I tucked my hair behind my ear and smiled, “Thank you, I can see where Dominique get’s his beautiful looks.”
“I’m beautiful? What happened to sexy or hot or handsome?”
His mom and I both rolled our eyes, “Come sit, I’ll make you guys supper.”
Sherri moved around the kitchen, “So Lennie, I hear you’re involved with the youth center in Fair Lawn. I think that’s amazing! Tell me all about you.”
“I am, I love helping them. The kids really helped me get through some of the tough times.” Dominique stood behind me and rubbed my shoulders as his mom and I talked.
After supper I cleared the table and loaded the dishwasher even though Dominique protested that the housekeeper’s could do it in the morning.
Sherri had been on a cruise for the last three weeks so Dominique hooked her digital camera up to his TV. “Whoa wait a minute…who is that dude?” he questioned.
His mom blushed, “That’s my friend Zachary! He’s so nice.”
“Hmmph.”
I bumped Dominique’s knee with mine and smiled at Sherri.
We visited for a while longer, “I’m going to head home I just wanted to surprise you. But low and behold I’m the one that got the surprise, it was great to finally meet you Lennie. Dom give her my number.” She hugged each of then left.
When Dominique turned around he slowly walked toward me, “She really likes you.” He bent down and kissed me. “You’re in trouble!” I pushed him away and started for the stairs. I wanted a shower then to go to bed. I was physically exhausted and the wine I drank during supper relaxed me.
“For what?” he called out.
“Killing BUZZ!”
~~~~~~
The following morning I woke up to Dominique’s fingers brushing my hair out of my face. “I don’t want you to leave.” He said softly. His voice thick from sleep.
I stretched, “I’ll get to see you next weekend.”
“I’d rather you stay here.”
I covered my mouth and yawned then got out of bed and went into the bathroom. “I mean it Lennie, I want you to stay.” He said from the doorway. After I finished brushing my teeth I turned toward him.
“You mean permanently?”
“Yes.”
I shook my head, “I can’t…”
“How long then? How much longer until we can be together?” Dominique walked over to the sink and brushed his teeth. “I don’t like being away from you. I’ve waited a long damn time.”
“I don’t know, I have work and the youth center. I can’t just up and leave!”
He took a deep breath and blew it out, “Just think about it, please?”
I nodded my head, “I will, just work with me. I love you and I really do want to be with you.”
He pulled me into his chest, “I’m going to need to record you saying those words so I can listen to them whenever wherever I want to.”
~~~~~~
Dominique cancelled my flight and insisted that I fly back to New Jersey via his personal jet, and he went with me. It was nice not having to wait in line and sit in a congested cabin for a change.
“Did I tell you that the youth team I coach is playing the youth team you donated to?” he asked.
“No way! Really?”
“Dead serious, it’s for the title. You better tell your boys to bring their A-game.” He smiled and winked at me.
“I will be there, you can bet they’ll play their little hearts out!”
The flight went fast and we talked about his mom and how she was so happy with her life.
I walked down the steps of the jet to the waiting taxi, “Call me when you get home.” I kissed Dominique.
“Always do.” He said with a smile.
We told each other we loved each other and with a final kiss I climbed in the taxi and left.
~~~~~~
The Tigers from Fair Lawn and the Rangers from Chicago were on the field warming up. Dominique paced back and forth talking to the players as they stretched. He looked mouth watering in a pair of blue jean’s, black athletic shoes, his red coaching shirt and a matching Rangers hat.
“Where’s this guy that is consuming all of your weekends?” Jadra asked from beside me.
I smiled, “Right there.” I pointed at Dominique.
Jadra choked on her soda, “What?! But that’s…”
“The Destroyer, Dominique Hastings?” I finished for her.
“Uh yeah! Are you serious?” she asked with big eyes.
“Yep!” I popped the p for good measure.
“I don’t believe you.” She argued.
Dominique turned toward us and winked at me with a smile on his face.
“Okay, that’s panty melting and I think you’re a bit of a bitch now.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. I scanned the field for Marshall, when I had talked to him and told him I would be at the game he jumped up and down with excitement. “I’ll make three touch downs just for you Lennie!”
He was sitting on the bench staring at the ground and his helmet on the bench beside him. I looked around for his dad but didn’t see him, I excused myself from Jadra so I could go talk to him.
“Hey buddy, shouldn’t you be out there?” I asked.
“Yeah, I’m just sad.”
“Because your dad’s not here?” I asked.
He nodded his head and wiped at his eyes. “Daddy got arrested last night and momma isn’t coming home.”
My stomach sank and my heart hurt for him. “Where did you and your siblings stay?”
“With a foster family, the cops brought all of our stuff to the house this morning.”
I looked around the field, when I spotted Dominique he was watching us with his head tilted to the side then he walked over to us. His large frame cast a shadow over Marshall.
“Hey buddy, you okay?” He asked.
Marshall sniffled but didn’t look up, “Yeah.”
Dominique knelt down so that he was eye level with Marshall. “You going to beat the other team?” He asked.
Marshall shrugged his shoulders, “I promised Lennie I’d make touchdowns for her.” He finally looked up. “Holy crap are you—The Destroyer?”
Dominique smiled, “In flesh. Let’s take a little walk.” He stood up and held his hand out to Marshall. Marshall grabbed his helmet and walked beside Dominique. I went back to my seat so they could have their ‘boy talk’.
The Rangers were ahead by one touchdown at halftime but the Tigers were playing hard and Marshall had even scored a touchdown.
Jadra and I had just set down at our seats after going to the concession stand for nacho’s and a soda. I had just shoved a big chip with gooey chees sauce on it, in my mouth when a little boy’s voice echoed through the speaker.
“Miss Lennie,” my eyes got big “I’m right here!” it was Marshall standing at the fifty-yard line. “Come here hurry!” he motioned for me.
I chewed the chip and about choked on it. Jadra shoved my soda at me.
I walked down the bleachers and around the wall. “What are you doing?” I asked with a laugh.
“Umm…” He looked around his voice echoing and a smile on his face. He looked behind me, “Okay.” He took a deep breath. “Are you enjoying the game?” He asked me.
“Yes.” I dragged o
ut.
“We’re losing, but we’re trying. They’re a great group of kids.”
I laughed slightly, “I can see that.”
“Okay, well I need to go sit with the team.” He darted past me and handed the microphone to me. There I stood embarrassed and confused. I waved at the crowd and quickly turned to leave the field, but when I turned around I bumped into a solid chest and dropped the microphone.
Dominique chuckled and bent down to retrieve the mic, “He had to stall for a few minutes.” He told me. The deep timber of his voice echoed around me. Then he dropped down on one knee, “He was stalling because, for the first time in my life I’m so nervous I actually felt sick from my nerves. Lennie Hudson, since the very first day I met you I haven’t stopped thinking about you. Your beautiful smile lights up a room, the way your eyes shine when you smile, the way your laugh makes me smile. You have the most caring, loving heart of anybody I know and you’re the strongest willed woman I know—besides mom, she’s probably standing third row up crying right now.” I looked past him, there stood Sherri with her hands on her face and tears glistening on her cheeks. I blinked away tears when I looked back at Dominique. “I’m down on one knee for one obvious reason, I want you to be my wife. I love you more than you’ll ever know Lennie.” He opened the ring box. “Please say yes?” He whispered.
I nodded my head, “Yes!” I choked out.
Dominique stared at me, “Yes?”
I nodded my head and threw myself at him before he could even slip the ring on my finger. The stadium of people erupted in cheers. I pulled away and kissed him, then he put the beautiful round halo cut diamond on me. I wiped away tears, “It’s beautiful.”
The referee’s congratulated us then told us it was time for the game to resume.
“I’ll see you after the game.” Dominique kissed me then jogged across the field to the sideline.
When I got to the sideline I was greeted by Corrina, Trevor, dad, Jennifer, Jadra and Sherri. Corrina hugged me and cried. She had known that he was going to propose and it “Killed her” to keep the secret.
The Tigers one by one field goal that day and Marshall scored four touchdowns, after each one he pointed at me and gave me a thumbs up.
After the game both teams had their pictures taken together during celebration. Dominique shook hands with the parents and coaches before walking over to the sideline where all of us were standing. Jadra was still in complete shock and speechless.
“I’m gonna steal your girl, if that’s okay?” Dominique said to her.
She nodded, “I’m Jadra… if you have any single friends…”
Dominique and I both laughed, “I’ll keep you in mind.”
(3 weeks later)
Proposing to Lennie was the scariest most nerve-racking thing I had ever fucking done in my life. The thought of her telling me no, scared the hell out of me.
“Are you sure you have everything?” I asked as I loaded the last box in the moving truck.
Lennie chewed on her thumbnail, “I’ll go check again!” she darted up the stairs to her apartment. “As long as you’re sure you got everything out of the top of the closets, everything is out.” She said.
I nodded, “Let’s hit the road.”
Her dad and Jennifer had helped her pack and helped load the moving truck. When I showed up at her dad’s house the day of the game to ask for his permission to marry Lennie, he couldn’t stop smiling. “I know you’re good for her, she’s happier now than I’ve seen her in a very long time. You have my blessing as long as you promise to take good care of my baby girl.”
And that was a promise I intended to keep.
~~~~~~
“I still don’t understand why you wouldn’t let me pay a moving company.” She said from the passenger seat.
I shrugged, “Is it that bad being this close for eleven hours?”
“Nope, I enjoy the scenery.” She said with a smile.
When I talked to Marshall before the game and he told me about his family life, it ripped my heart out. He was the oldest of three kids and they were whisked away from their apartment in the middle of the night and put in foster care.
“How’s Marshall and his little brothers and sisters doing?” I asked.
“They love where they are now, Marshall get’s along great with the other kids. His brother is now medicated for ADHD and his littlest sister had to get glasses. Thank you so much for calling the Bryant’s.”
“They are good people like the Wilson’s were.”
~~~~~~
I still couldn’t get use to Lennie being home every evening when I got home. If she wasn’t downstairs cooking I could usually find her in the library curled up on the massive, and by massive I mean HUGE, over stuffed fuzzy beanbag chair.
She worked a couple days a week at Sunrise Realty and volunteered at the youth center that I owned.
One night I found her in the library, magazine scattered across the floor, page after page showing wedding dresses, cakes, tuxedos.
I walked in, “You look a little stressed.” I said with a chuckle and sat down beside her on the floor.
She blew a strand of hair out of her face, “They are all starting to look the same, I think it’s going to drive me crazy.” She grabbed a magazine, “This dress is not meant for women with curves but it’s so pretty.” She put that magazine down and picked up another one, “I love this one but I’m not real sure my boobs will stay tucked away for more than two seconds.” She put that magazine down and started to reach for another but I stopped her.
“Look, you don’t need to stress out. You’ll find the dress when you go try them on next month. Mom’s excited that you asked her to go with you and Corrina. Come with me I got you a gift today that’ll help you relax.”
She kissed me then jumped up and walked out of the library. I looked around at the mess of magazine and shook my head. “Crazy woman, you can wear a gunny sack if you want to.” I told her.
Lennie put her hands on her hips, “I’m waiting for my surprise!” she turned to go downstairs and I stopped her.
“If you want the surprise it’s this way.”
“Oh.” She linked her fingers with mine, the diamond on her left hand made me smile.
When we got in the bedroom I told her to sit down on the bed, so she did.
“Close your eyes.”
She snapped them shut, her knees bounced up and down.
I grabbed the blindfold from my back pocket and walked over to her and slipped it on her head. “What are you doing?” she asked me.
“I’m going to strip you down and give you your surprise.” I whispered in her ear. I smiled when she shivered and licked her lips.
With deliberately slow actions, I pulled her sweat pant capri’s off followed by her black lace thong. Next I peeled her tank top off , she wasn’t wearing a bra so I leaned in and wrapped my lips around one of her nipples. She sucked in a breath of air and fisted her hands in my hair, so I licked and kissed across her chest to her other nipple. With a pop I released it and stood up so I could move her to the middle of the bed. When she was situated, I reached under the bed and grabbed the box I had hid under it a few days ago. “What are you doing?” she asked still blind folded.
“Just hang on.” I undressed as fast as I could and put the contents from the box on the bed next to her leg.
The sight of her pussy made my dick go hard almost instantly, she gasped when I licked between her pale pink pussy lips and flicked her clit with my tongue. Her knees fell open so I spread her pussy lips open and licked from her opening to her clit over and over again. Her sweet juices coated my tongue, and she rocked her hips until I latched on to her clit and sucked on it while flicking it with my tongue.
“Oh fuck…” Lennie sighed and covered her tits with her hands.
I grabbed the gift and touched her pussy entrance with it, then slid it back and forth through her folds. I looked up at Lennie and she had a small smile on her face.
&n
bsp; “Remember I killed BUZZ?” I pushed the dildo inside of her and pulled it out then pushed it back in and pushed the button for the vibrator.
“Oh…god…oh—BUZZ…”
I pushed the dildo deeper until the little clit flicker was buzzing against her clit, she fisted the sheet in her hands and arched her back. Her breathing turned faster and her nipples peaked as her orgasm started. When her stomach muscles started contracting, she yelled my name so I started moving it faster and harder. Then with one last push her pussy juices were covering the dildo and rolling down the crack of her ass onto the bed. Her chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath.
I would never get tired of seeing how beautiful Lennie was when she climaxed.
I reached up and pulled the blindfold off, she blinked against the light before looking down at me and smiling. “Now can I have my surprise?”
I held the dildo up, “This is it.”
She laughed, “Are you serious?”
“Yep,” I looked at the dildo, “It’s called Destroyer after yours truly. It took me three tries to keep my dick hard enough to make the mold. You have a replica and obviously I have the original.”
“You made me a replica of your dick?!”
“Sure did!”
She grabbed it from me, “Wow!”
“Better than BOB, better than BUZZ, and a one of a kind.” I told her as I climbed up her body. I tossed the dildo to the side, “Now I’ll give you the original.”
4 Months Later
My feet sank into the warm sand and the smell of ocean water drifted through the air. Corrina stood beside me, “When are you going to tell him?” she whispered.
I smiled, “After dad gives me away.” I turned to Jadra. “Make sure you get a good picture.”
“I’m on it!”
For the last couple of months I had been getting sick after eating lunch, never in the morning…only after lunch. My boobs were hurting and I couldn’t watch TV and not cry when the ASPCA commercial played. I knew in my heart that I was pregnant, but Corrina insisted I go over to her place to take the test. Keeping the news from Dominique was torture. The doctors had told me after Justin raped me and I miscarried, that conceiving children would be difficult. Corrina and I both cried for over an hour before we decided that I should wait to tell Dominique.
