I went down to the beach this morning and saw Pete. He was very curious about Shel and Bobby so I filled him in on our history. Needless to say, he was more than curious and couldn't wait to meet them. But after about a hour, I had to leave as I had had some errands to attend. Pete said that we would all meet at The Cornucopia at six-thirty.
I was excited all day and kept popping woodies at the most inopportune times, like in the market, at the gas station and at the big ugly box store where I only buy dog food (because the good stuff is cheap.) While I was standing in front of the the kibble, I imagined the five of us in an extraordinary position and I felt my cock swell inside my shorts. A nice-looking older Latina noticed my shorts pop forward and mumbled, "O Dios mio." I slowly backed away, smiled and pulled my cart toward the cashiers. I think I made her day.
I was early to the cottage. Shel was finishing her makeup so Bobby and I did a bowl. When Shel came out of the bathroom, she was stunning. With a loose fitting blouse and unencumbered breasts, I was thinking that she might be the main course.
"Stop drooling, boys, and let's go to dinner." We didn't and we did.
When we pulled up to the restaurant, Mickey and Pete were just getting out of his Wrangler.
"He wouldn't take a nice car, can you believe it? I wish he'd get rid of this jalopy already!" Mickey shook her head and Pete laughed. There was no way he would dump that car. He loved that, like him, it was unassuming, incognito and, most of all, it was fun. I introduced everybody and when Bobby heard Pete's name, he seemed shocked.
"Are you by any chance an architect?" he asked. So much for incognito.
"Well, I used to be but I'm retired now. My son runs my business. Why?" Pete seemed disturbed that he was known.
"Because you designed four of our remote offices..."
"Are you General Investment Dynamics?"
"President and C.E.O. Pleased to meet you."
"You know, our Seattle, Los Angeles and D.C. offices all won Architectural Digest awards. Our..."
"I know, I know."
Pete took on a different, less suspect demeanor. Their animated conversation seemed to continue through dinner. Mickey and Shel also seemed to quickly bond in a discussion about exercise. I mostly ate my salmon steak and listened quietly. I had a very good feeling about the evening. My friends were all connecting.
We spent about two hours at the restaurant before we left for Pete's house. As I pulled up to his beautiful and modern home, singular in its style, I understood for the first time that Pete designed it and it was a masterpiece. It only added to the deep respect I held. It seemed that Pete was a pretty famous architect who liked to lay low. Okay, I get that.
