Love Again (25 page)

(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. 

“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. 

I looked at the small piece of paper I had written the message on.  Dad stepped up beside me, “Ready baby girl?”

I smiled, “Absolutely!”

“I’m proud of you Lennie, you’re truly an amazing woman.” Dad kissed my cheek. 

The violinist started playing the Wedding March, Jadra and Corrina walked barefoot through the sand to the front.  Dad and I each smiled as we slowly walked up to where Dominique and Trevor were standing.  Our wedding was very small and simple, but Dominique insisted we get married in Cancun.  One look at him dressed in a pair of kaki cargo shorts that hung low on his hips and a pale blue V-neck t-shirt made my mouth water. 

Dad kissed me before placing my hand in Dominique’s, the slip of paper now rested in the palm of his hand.  I smiled at him then turned to face the pastor that was ready to bless us in marriage.

Lennie looked exactly the way she had in my dream years back.  I couldn’t take my eyes off of her as she walked toward me.  Her dark red hair in thick curls down her back, the sun casting a glow over her skin and her green eyes sparkled with happiness. 

With her hand in mine we turned to face the pastor, I felt something tickle my palm.  The pastor was reading a verse from the bible; I slipped my hand from Lennie’s to see what she had put in my hand.  There was a slip of paper folded in half, I looked at her and she smiled but didn’t look directly at me.  As the pastor continued to talk, I opened the small paper and squinted to read the beautiful handwriting of Lennie’s.

Surprise, I’m pregnant! I love you!

I looked at Lennie, she was looking at me out the corner of her eye with a growing smile on her face.  I slipped the note into my pocket and stepped in front of her, I cupped her face in my hands and slammed my lips against hers so hard our teeth tapped against each other’s. 

“Sir…” the pastor said with a chuckle and tapped me on the shoulder.  “If you can wait just a few more minutes I’ll let you share the wonderful news.”

I pulled away from Lennie, “I love you.” I wiped a smudge of lipstick from under her bottom lip. 

“Carry on.” I said to the pastor. I moved to stand beside Lennie, my hand wrapped tightly around hers. 

I couldn’t stop kissing my wife, as we swayed to Ed Sheeran’s ‘Thinking out Loud’.  My hands cupping her face caressing her beautiful face and her hands fisting my shirt.  No amount of money or fame could ever make me as happy as I was this very second. 

Lennie smiling broke our kiss, “Thank you for loving me again.”

I brushed the tear away, “I never stopped and I
never
will stop loving you.”
