Long in the tooth, there is little doubt that my girl and l raise many eyes these days. But little do they know our fire still burns hot, old but not dead yet. On the other hand, those our age often take note of how the love and quite possibly the lust still burn hot between us. Mixed results to such, some thinking we are crazy and others burn with envy.
Like minds that understand we only get one lap around this thing we call life so make it count. One of these instances comes to mind which wasn't so long ago.
We were having dinner at one of our favorite spots, she was dressed to the nines as usual. A gentleman about our age was caught looking over more than once and my girl like most women appreciated the attention. And like l have said more than once. "l don't care where you get your appetite, just come home for dinner."
After that night's dinner and while she left to freshen up l sent over a drink to the gentleman at the bar, it wasn't until she returned that he came over to thank us. l asked if he would like to join us for dessert, one serving now split by three, and from there, a conversation rang out. After a couple of more drinks, he mentioned enjoying another dessert not yet enjoyed. And there was no doubt of what he was talking about so I worked my way out of the booth, offered my hand to my girl, and said. "You're right, shall we?" And then we made out to the car with him two steps behind us.
My girl excitedly warned me to not lose him as we made our way through the streets home, but no fear as he pulled in right behind us. Once inside she asked us to give her a few minutes, then she kissed me and ran her hand against his before heading upstairs. l took my coat off and put my keys away before saying. "Shall we?"
