I said that I get out at 4:30 but with traffic I could get there between 5:15 and 5:30; he said that it wasn’t a problem and that he’s being the change of clothes for me with him when he returned to the restaurant. He thanked me for stepping in. I asked if the table numbers and their locations stayed the same - thankfully he said yes.
As much as I enjoy being at this company as a temp employee but I’m looking forward to get out of here on time and then head to the restaurant. Since I still live an hour away from the restaurant, he’d let me pack up and leave between 8:45 and 9:15. Fingers crossed.
I ended up taking a detour to get to the restaurant without being stuck in a ton of traffic and arrived at 5:20. I walked in through the back, went to my brother and hugged him; it’s been 2 years since I last saw him. Everyone is welcoming me back - at least the ones that were there when I was. I went to the office, closed the door and changed. Since my hair is just about shoulder length, I pulled my hair up into a pony tail and used hairspray to keep the hold.
As people were coming in - slowly - I got plates of bread and EVOO ready and filled bottles with tap water. When needed, I set up buckets of ice with about a cup of water to be used for chilling wine and for those who wanted bottled sparkling water or bottled flat water (not tap water), I got those ready as well.
It got pretty busy but not how it was was pre pandemic. A ton of customers recognized me and I them but I didn’t linger to talk with them. It was easy to tell that they wanted to catch up but I used the excuse that I was needed in the kitchen as my brother was “asking” for me. It was the perfect excuse….I didn’t really want to talk to them as I don’t officially work for my brother anymore.
When I got back into the kitchen when my phone rang. I looked at it and it was Vince so I immediately gave my phone to my brother. He said hello, heard what Vince had to say then he ripped Vince a new one yet again and then hung up. My brother handed me my phone back and asked me to wait for him in the office.
Minutes later, he came over and was much more calm. He told me that Vince gave a brief synopsis of what the last few weeks were like between he and I. My brother asked me two questions…..1. Do I still love Vince? 2. Do I want to spend the rest of Vince’s life with him? I told him that those questions were easy as I’d say yes to both. He was not happy that I felt this way after he’d cheated on me. I did tell my brother that I demanded that Vince take a month or two to be single and figure out if he truly wanted to be with me.
I could tell that my bro wasn’t thrilled that I still love Vince but he understood the history between Vince and I. My brother asked me to be careful, I promised I would be and said that if I need his help with Vince, he’d be my first call. He nodded and then got back to work.
I started organizing my stuff so it’s be easier for me to head out and it only took a few minutes. Since I spent the previous night at my parents’, I texted them that I was going to Vince’s to talk more and that it’s likely that I’d spend the night in the spare room; they texted back thanking me for the heads up.
It started getting busy again so I helped out more in the kitchen prepping bread, EVOO and water. By the time I had more set up, everything was taken out into the dining room. One of the bus boys took a few minutes to help me get more prepared as I’d fallen behind. We were talking in Spanish - his first language - and he couldn’t stop laughing because I’d forgotten so much in 2 years.
I didn’t get to pack up and leave until a little bit after 9:30; I was a little disappointed BUT I did get fed! My brother fed me one of my favorite dishes, a glass of milk and asked where I was going after this. I just looked at him and he knew that I was going to Vince’s for the night…he made a face and asked the guys to pack another 2 of my favorite meals and 2 desserts to bring with me. He asked me if alcohol was needed but I told him that Vince had more than enough and I thanked him for the offer. I hugged him goodnight and left. A few of the guys hugged me as well when I headed out.
I texted Vince to let him know that I just got in my car and I should be there in about an hour as I had to pick up a few things before I actually got to his place. Went to a big box store to get a travel size bottle of contact solution (had a case to put the solution and contacts in), a mini travel bag that contained a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash and deodorant, I grabbed 3 large bottles of water and few candy bars.
Got back in my car and headed towards Vince’s, chugging one of the bottles waters. I turned the radio station to my favorite station and blared it. My body went on autopilot and had easy driving….at that time of night, there was very little traffic. It felt like that it took a few minutes. I gathered my things and headed to Vince’s front door…as I raise my hand to knock on the door, he opens the door, smiles at me, greeted me and let me in, collects my things from me and closed the door behind me.
He heads off to put the food and water in the fridge, I take my shoes off at the door and I take my charger out of my purse and plug my phone in the kitchen. Once Vince is done with putting the food and the water away, he walked over to me, leaned down and kissed me on my mouth. I open my mouth to let him in and make my body flush with his. I wrapped both of my arms around his waist and matched him kiss for kiss.
I pull away and stepped away, catching my breath; my heart was beating fast. I went to excuse myself to the bathroom so I could take a shower. Panting as well, looking at me and nodded his head. It was clear to me that he wanted me as much as I wanted him. I ended up taking a long, hot shower trying to stay awake.
I get out, towel off and open up my new bag of mini travel items to take out my contacts and use the deodorant. I hung up the towel and put on one of his shirts. Once I was kinda dressed and ready, I went downstairs.
Vince is at the bottom of the stairs - in just grey sweatpants - with a martini in his hand for me. This man is stunning. The glass is quite full so I take a few small sips of it so I didn’t spill it on my way to the couch. Seconds later, Vince joined me on the couch with a blanket, my phone and its charger, a martini glass for him and a medium sized pitcher with the remainder of the martini that he made. He moved the table closer, got situated on the couch and invited me to lean against him. I took him up on his offer and he covered us with the blanket.
He leaned a smidge to get our martinis and a remote control for the CD player; Josh Groban was his selection. I looked up at him, happy with how we were at that moment. He looked at me, leaned down and kissed me with such passion. We both pulled away, finished our drinks, readjusted ourselves and resumed kissing…I reached down his sweatpants to his hard penis and started to stroke him. In no time, he climaxed in my hand. I got up to wash my hands.
I headed back to the couch; I filled our glasses and I finished my third martini in no time while Vince is slowly drinking his second. I pour a fourth glass, go back into the kitchen to heat up the food my brother sent with me. As the food is in the microwave, Vince stealthily comes up behind, kisses my neck as he’s lifting the shirt I’m wearing; his hands are wandering all over my body.
I turned around, taking the shirt off and kissing Vince like my life depended on it. I haul my fat ass up on the counter, he took off his sweatpants and he thrusted his hard penis in my apex. Seconds later, we climax together just before the microwave beeps. He pulls out and helps me off the counter.
As I’m taking the food out of the microwave, he’s pouring rosé wine. I bring the food and utensils as he brings the wine glasses and the wine bottle. We eat and drink silence. We both knew that sex was technically off limits until he figures out what he really wants. He gets up and excuses himself to his bedroom. Ugh. I literally worked ALL day and now I’ve got to cleanup after we eat and drink. Bastard!
Since it’s only a few things, the clean up is easy. I grab my phone, it’s charger and a large bottle of water out of the fridge. I check to make sure that all the windows and doors are closed and locked, I turn off the lights and head upstairs.
I’m about to go into the spare room/guest bedroom, Vince comes from his room to tell me that I’m more than welcome to sleep with him - actually SLEEPING - in his room. I said ok; mentioned it was fine if he was the big spoon, holding me and that it was ok to kiss me….his penis wouldn’t be “allowed” to participate if you know what I mean! ;) He laughed and said it was fine. We went to bed and I thoroughly enjoyed being in his arms again; I’d die happy if I stayed in his arms. Before falling asleep, he pushed my hair off of my face, kissed me - slipped me some tongue - and said good night. He did behave during the night and no matter how many times I shifted, he kept me in his arms.
He woke up early and made breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast…with coffee. I woke up by the scent of bacon so I immediately got up, brushed my teeth and put a shirt on. I called down to see if he needed help but he asked me to go back to bed as we’re having breakfast in bed. God damn. That made my apex wet.
I did as he asked and by the time I was settled, he brought my tray of food and coffee up. He ran downstairs and washed my jeans, socks, panties and the shirt that has my brother’s restaurant’s name on it then he bounded up the stairs with his food. We ate our breakfast in silence.
He brought the trays down, telling me that he didn’t need any help. I’m then given the opportunity to shower and put on one of his clean shirt instead of putting the shirt I wore to bed back on. He came back up and saw that I’d already showered so I took the clean shirt off and placed it on the bed and headed to the bathroom with him to shower together; we were kissing and our hands wandered all over the body of the other.
Before anything went further, I stepped out of the shower, grabbed the towel I’d used 15 minutes before, toweled off and put the clean shirt back on. He gets out of the shower a few minutes later, towels off and throws on a pair of boxer briefs. He ran to the laundry room to put my stuff in the dryer and came back over to the living room. We started to read our books but we ended up falling asleep in each other’s arms until someone called Vince’s phone. He answered and greeted his divorce attorney.
I immediately got up, got my stuff out of the dryer, got dressed and went through the condo to make sure I grabbed everything. I almost walked out without my purse - which has my keys but I stepped back one step to grab my purse and left. About 8 minutes later, I was back at my parents’. They were glad that I was home and that I stood my ground with the man I love.
I’d done some stuff around their house, hung out with my dogs in the back yard as it was a gorgeous day. Vince called later in the day - around 2:30 pm - to see if I wanted to have dinner with him and maybe spend the night. I said yes, asked what time and then we got off the phone so I could pack a bag; yes, I packed my birth control as well as a few morning after pills…..just in case.
I spent some more time with my dogs before I left and told my parents that I was sleeping over at Vince's again. They rolled their eyes and said ok. As always, it didn’t take forever to get to his place. He’d texted me to let me know that he left the door unlocked for me so after I parked, grabbed my stuff and headed inside.
After dropping my stuff in Vince’s room, I found him in the kitchen pulling out an expensive bottle of wine from the fridge. As he turned from the fridge, he saw me. He put the wine on the counter so we could hug each other. A few seconds into our hug, he pulled away, rested a hand on my neck and started to kiss me. I kissed him right back. Minutes later, he pulls away, took me by my hand to me to his room. We stripped off our clothes and got on his bed.
Our hands were wandering over each other’s body as we were kissing. Despite knowing that at this point, we shouldn’t be having sex…but I rolled onto my back and spread my legs. It didn’t take long for him to enter me. Vince was thrusting in and out of me like his life depended on it. A few minutes minutes later, Vince and I climaxed together. It took him several minutes to unload his essence inside of me.
I got up, put on my shirt, grabbed my phone and water and went to the spare room. I felt like an idiot as I told myself that I shouldn’t be sexually active with Vince until he fully works on him and his shit. Still didn’t stop me from loving him. I looked up at the clock on wall only to see that it was 11:30 pm. Ugh.
I pulled up a game from on my phone to pass some time. Unfortunately, that didn’t help much so I raided the fridge and grabbed one of the cheesecake slices that my brother packed up for Vince and I. I also grabbed chocolate syrup from the fridge…..I absolutely LOVE my brother’s cheesecake but I needed a little chocolate at the moment.
So I plated the cheesecake, poured a ton of syrup on and started on the cheesecake. It was amazing as always and the syrup was a nice touch. While I was eating, I was contemplating whether or not that I should leave Vince’s; I was doing my best to not have sex with him but it happened twice. As I learned from watching a few episodes of the Golden Girls….it’s best to talk a problem out. I knew what I had to do; I had to wake up the old man...the very sexy old man.
I scurried up to Vince’s room and woke him up. He wasn’t happy - clearly - but once he saw that I was serious, he sat straight up and turned on the lamp by his bed. He listened as I told him that I still love him so incredibly much but for us to get through the cheating shit and him figuring out what he wants, there can’t be any sex….I love having sex with him - and explained that to him….he wasn’t happy with no sex but he fully agreed with me.
We ended up talking through most of the night; we talked about our expectations, what we wanted from the other as well as from the relationship, his idea of going to therapy alone as well as with me, etc. I agreed that he should go to therapy but I’d join only if he felt that the therapy was helping and us having better communication. I did tell him that at the end of the month or so - from when I told him to focus on himself - I may or may not decide if I’ll be with him. It wouldn’t matter how he progressed or how therapy was for him (and possibly with me) as I’ll be focusing on me and whether or not that I want a future with him. He was shocked but understood…..he knew that he fucked up big time with me.
We talked until 4 am about everything, like what’s been going on with him, what’s been going on with me, job opportunities for me, his retirement, our favorite restaurants and whatnot. It felt good to start over even though it was at the crack of dawn.
I was exhausted and didn’t feel like going to the spare room so I stayed with Vince, wrapped up in his arms. I knew that this may not last forever but I’ll take it while it lasts. It didn’t take me long to fall asleep in my lover’s arms.
We didn’t wake until 10 am this morning. I got up to shower as he ordered breakfast to be delivered. When I dressed, packed up my stuff into my bag and brought my bag down next to my purse. I then went into the kitchen to have coffee. Vince looked sexy with bed head hair. Before I grabbed a mug, I walked over to him and kissed him. He enveloped me in his arms and kissed me back, matching me kiss for kiss.
The doorbell rang, interrupting us. He gets the door, thanking the driver and tipped him. Vince came back to the kitchen with food as I was pouring coffee for the both of us. He thanked me for making his coffee the way he likes, leaned down and kissed me; I wrapped my arms around his neck, he pulled me closer. He pulled away a few minutes later so our coffee and food didn’t get cold.
Breakfast included pancakes, French toast, sausage links and pork roll. It was the perfect breakfast since we’d talked about important things just hours before. We ate in silence as he was reading the paper and I was responding to emails. After we finished eating, Vince cleaned up.
We sat on the couch as we were stuffed. I’d fallen back asleep as I was in a food coma and had 2 nights of not sleeping well. I think he’d fallen asleep as well….we woke up around noon. I told Vince that I needed to go as I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow. He was sad to see me go as he wanted to spend more time with him (and I with him) but he understood.
We kissed deeply and I left. I told him that I’d text him as I was prepping for tomorrow.
I had so much laundry to do, went food shopping, picked out my clothes and made my lunch. I’ll be off to bed soon
