Mixed Emotions part three
If you haven't read parts 1 and 2, part 3 will make no sense.
That was the end of our pillow talk, I did put on panties a few hours later, I was leaking all over our bodies and the sheets, when I woke my back was to him and his left hand was on my breast, not moving, just resting on my breast. I find myself liking everything this man does to and for me. He lay on the bed leering at me as I dressed, his eyes burned right through my underwear, I never felt a man's eyes undress me like his did. Wearing a new pair of red silk boy shorts I turned around.
"You like?" I asked. He growled and nodded, that's all the signal I needed to get the rest of my clothes on quickly or I would be impaled on his love pole, not that I would have minded but I needed to be at work on time. Angie and I had a little over twenty minutes to talk before the others would be drifting in. I needed to find out if she could be with me on Friday and just how serious she was about this guy she'd met.
After a good morning hug from Ang I told her I had plans to marry Ed Friday afternoon and wondered if she would be my bridesmaid. She shrieked and through tears said yes she would. Like me, she had a ton of vacation built up along with several personal days she hadn't taken in over a year, she needed to use some of those personal days by years end or she'd lose them. With that settled I asked the million-dollar question.
"How serious are you about this guy you met last week?"
With a disgusted look she said, "Not serious at all, seems he forgot to tell me about the wifey and two kids. The prick. I seldom shop in the east part of town but that little cheese place on Lindborg has a certain cheese I really like, I was out and went to get more when who do I see walking through the lot from the grocery store but Romeo. The bastard saw me and quickly shoved everybody in the car so he could speed off. Typical."
She huffed and then continued, "He texted me later and told me to stop stalking him, yeah as if, I told him to fuck off and blocked his number. Why did you ask me about the loser?"
"Well Ang, it has to do with the question you asked last week after you met Ed. Don't look at me in that tone of voice, you know darned well what I'm referring to. Does he have any cute brothers? The short answer is no, the long answer is yes he has a cousin who lives in Broadville, he's 33 and owns a real estate company. According to Ed he's looking for a wife and he could care less about her ethnicity, so ... are you interested in meeting him or is it to foreign to you?"
She was laughing," Yeah right, next thing you'll tell me is his name is Norm or some other white bread shit like that." All I did was stare at her. 'Oh my god, no shit, his name is Norm? What the fuck Amy?"
I tried to be as deadpan as possible, "What's it gonna be Ang? Meet him and maybe hit it off or keep going to Boonies and leaving frustrated? I know you're all about black girls being with black guys but in all honesty I have to ask, why is it okay for black guys to have white wives but not us to have a white husband? Just wondering?"
It was time to start the day and get busy, looking at me as she rose she spoke softly, "This is some serious shit Amy, this is fucked up, I aint never considered a white boy, I gotta think about this. See you at break."
I texted Ed and let him know I wouldn't be available to text during break, he replied telling me he had meetings across town anyway, he'd pick me up at the usual time and we were going to stop at the Japanese restaurant for supper. I liked that idea considering we hadn't been there since the night we met. The more I thought about that night the damper my panties became, I needed to get my mind back on work and did so. Angela and I decided to take our morning break at our desks, she rolled her chair next to mine and looked perplexed.
"Amy, you were serious before weren't you, I mean you weren't messin wit my mind? Cuz I gotta tell you, that's all I could think about, my production level is well beneath my normal standard."
"Yes Ang, I was dead serious, Ed says he won't say anything to Norm until you say you'll at least meet him. You don't have to like him or make it work, just meet for a meal or something simple. Surely you can do that. What do you think, you ready to step out of your comfort zone?"
Taking my hand she was fighting tears, "Do you really think I can do this Amy? I mean, I've been anti-white dating for so long, what if I'm a bitch with him? I literally love how Ed is with you, I'm having a hard time thinking there could be another one like him."
"I can't answer the black/white thing for you Ang, that you have to get past on your own. I used to think like you did, but Ed broke that mold and I'm so glad he did. Ed says Norm is much like him but a bit wilder, I told him Norm sounds like your kind of man."
She nodded with a confused look on her face as she pushed her chair back to the workstation. At lunch she was the quietest of all, the others were excited that as of Friday I would be Mrs. Ed Perez, wanting to throw a hen party for me Thursday after work. I thanked them but politely declined, the last thing I needed in my life was a drunken bar crawl, nope, I'd stay home with my Eddy and make love. Walking back after we'd eaten Ang sort of held me back a few feet from the others so we could duck into the lady's room.
"Amy, I've made up my mind. It scares the crap outa me, I aint promising anything, but I'll meet him, when and where?"
"Let me talk with Ed, I think asking Norm to stand up at our wedding is what he had in mind, you two could meet there with plenty of others around to intervene if it doesn't go right. Ed says he's a lot like him, successful, laid back, business like when he needs to be and a pocket full of fun when he doesn't. Angie, this might be the one babe."
My supervisor asked me to stop in her office on the way back from lunch, she smiled and asked when the date was.
"This Friday, I'll need the afternoon off and then the next week if that's alright. I have over five weeks of vacation built up and a half dozen personal days. Hopefully I won't leave you in a lurch."
Motioning for me to take a seat she came around her desk and sat in the easy chair next to mine.
"Amy, you have been an asset to this office from day one, you have certainly earned some time off. On another matter, if you should decide to no longer work due to pregnancy or anything else let me know right away. I have a young lady in mind that I'd like to promote, in fact she'll be covering for you while you're gone. She recently covered for Janice when her son had mumps."
I knew who she was, "Oh, Jillian, I know her, she's sweet and a hard worker. Thanks for bringing this up, we want to start a family right away. Knowing I won't be hurting you or the department puts me at ease."
Audrey laughed, as I stood she asked, "How soon are you planning to start a family?"
I smiled, "Friday", turned and went back to my cubicle.
I could hear her laughing all the way down the hall.
Ed was waiting for me at the curb after work, opening my door he took my hand kissing it as he helped me in, I allowed my left leg to linger a moment so he could see up my skirt which produced a huge smile on his face. As he pulled away I lifted my dress enough to let him see the soft lacy tops of my stay ups, his smile only continued. Over supper we discussed my conversation with Angela, he was pleased she was willing to meet Norm.
I explained she was a bit on the wild side with how she dressed, she was never slutty but she knew she had it and tended to flaunt if she felt safe, oh, and she wore outlandish lipsticks, all different colors and usually with glitter in it. She isn't buxom, at the same time she isn't small, what she has matches her body perfectly as does her booty, she's on the short side at five foot five but in good shape, no muffin top for that gal.
Ed grinned, "He's gonna love her, he's always had a thing for darker girls, says they have an elicit look about them."
Friday came all too quickly and at the same time seemed as though it would never arrive. We met everyone in the courthouse entryway, Norm and Angela weren't quite sure about one another at the beginning, by the time the ceremony was over they were talking side by side, at dinner they talked almost exclusively to one another. In the lady's room I cornered Ang.
"Looks as though it's going pretty well. He's a cute bugger isn't he, and he obviously works out, did you check the way his chest ripples when he moves his arms. Dang girl, he's like an Adonis."
"Shit Amy, I wasn't ready for this. I thought he'd be a mister nerd ass thick glasses short peckered wimp, not so, this motherfucker has it all. Did you know he has a place on Foster Lake, says it's a dinky place of only four thousand square feet. That's three times the size of my apartment, I wanna fuck this guy Amy. Do you think I should?"
I wasn't sure how to respond, "Why don't you let him take the reins tonight, let him know you're available if he's interested but don't push yourself on him. Let him chase you a little, don't just give it away. You're on your own from here on kiddo, we leave in an hour and we aint comin back for five days."
