“Peter,” she says with tears in her eyes. “I would never regret my years with Richie, and I hope he never felt cheated while we were together, but I think I have been in love with you since high school too. If only we had been able to tell the truth, how different our lives could have been,” she says.
I reach over and wipe the tear away. “Everything happens for a reason, and exactly the way it’s supposed to no matter how much it hurts,” I tell her.
“So how did you end up with children and grandchildren?” she asks.
“Sheer luck,” I tell her. “I was at the hotel one day and I met Savannah Errington and I felt drawn to her. Savannah was in Mississippi to start over and met her destiny, but she was so sweet and down to earth. She thought I was the concierge and not the owner and she treated me with such respect and love I couldn’t help but fall in love with her. And then I met her children and her now-husband. Through Savannah, I gained two daughters, grandchildren, and some great-grandchildren. Our chef tonight is Savannah’s brother-in-law and that was the first time he called himself my son. I have no biological children, but those people are my family blood or not. The young man you met today is Savvy’s, that’s her nickname, middle son I am going to train him to take over my business.”
By this time, Lennox is in my lap, facing me with a thigh on either side. Fuck it, I think as I take a handful of Lenny's hair and bring her face to me and kiss her like I have been dying to since I saw her at my hotel. I take my time exploring her mouth. She tastes like sugar, partly from the cake and partly her. I wrap my other arm around her waist and pull her fully against me. Her dress is bunched up around her waist and I am ready to bury myself inside her.
I lift up with her in my arms and lay her on the sofa and I cover her with my body and kiss her again. She wraps her thighs around me putting my cock firmly in the juncture between her legs and we both moan. I grind my cock against her panty-covered pussy and I almost cum in my pants like an untried teenager. I move my lips away from her mouth and kiss her neck over to her ear as I continue grinding into her. Faster than I would’ve expected she comes in my arms.
“Lennox” I groan out. The front of my pants become drenched.
“Peter, please,” she begs.
“Say you’ll stay with me, Lenny, that you’ll come to Mississippi and be with me.”
“Yes, Peter.”
I get up because I do not want to consummate our new relationship on the outdoor sofa.
“How much time do you have before you have to go back to Alabama?”
“I resigned from my position at the hospital, I figured this trip would tell me either way what my next steps would be,” she says as she sits up and fixes her clothes.
“Will you go away with me?” I ask
“Anywhere, Benny,” she says.
“I have an errand to run in the morning, but we’ll leave tomorrow early evening. Don’t worry about packing anything I’ll take care of you,” I say.
“Ok. But how long will we be gone? I go back home every year to visit my parents grave on the anniversary of their deaths.”
I think about that for a second because I have not been back home since my parents’ death and has no desire to go until Lenny.
“I will get you there as long as you don’t mind me tagging along. Come, let me walk you to your room,” I tell her and hold my hand out to her.
After forty-two years, I have Lennox St. James in my life not as a friend but as a partner and lover. When we reach her door, I whisper, “Good night, Lenny.”
I pull her to me and kiss her again. Before the kiss can get out of hand, I open the door and push her into her room and close the door in her face.
