“It’s good to have girlfriends,” He said. “Just make sure to let them know that you will have less free time to spend with them now though.”
“I am?” I asked him.
“Yeah. Because you’re dating me now, Meredith Butler. Dating me exclusively.” He ran a hand over his body. “And see this here? I’m a man. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, babe. I don’t give a crap about the age difference between us.” He r
olled me under him again and thrust his dick against my core once more. “Feel that? We fit together perfectly. You and me. That’s how we roll. We’re perfect.”
And he proved that to me again.
By the time we made it down to breakfast, my roommates had gone.
“Ah, well, I’ll meet them another time. Right now, I just want to eat you, not breakfast.”
I went to the stove and cooked some bacon and eggs. “We need sustenance, Garrett. I am ravenous. Then I need to get to work. I have never been late a day in my life and I am not starting now.” I winked at him, “Even if it would be worth my while.”
We ate our breakfast, drank some coffee and went into work where Garrett finished the job on the computers and got ready to drive back to Boston.
“So, when am I going to see you again, boyfriend?” I asked him. I tried not to show him but I was nervous that once he drove home, he might never come back. It seemed too good to be true that he was back in my life and part of me wondered if this was a plan of revenge and he would never return. Until he took me in his arms and kissed me and reassured me in that kiss that he was going nowhere.
“I will be back tomorrow evening to take you to dinner again, Miss Butler. I fancy trying the lobster next time. Get dressed, ready for about 8:00 pm, and I’ll come call on. We’ll have a pleasant stroll hand in hand down to the harbor.
“I will look forward to it.” I said, and I kissed him hard and watched him leave.
“That guy must have done a really great job on the computers.” Quipped Jack.
The smile that broke across my face was huge.
Chapter 14
Garrett
As promised, the next evening I returned and picked up my girl at 8:00. We had a booking at the restaurant at 8:30 and so had time to take a lovely stroll together. I held her hand in mine the whole way. She was wearing the most beautiful red dress that ran close to her hips but then floated at knee length. All I could think of was getting my hands under it and into her panties, but we were eating food before I got to eat her.
They had set us a table for two out front, looking out over the harbor. I could imagine you would never get bored with this view.
Mer ordered a glass of wine and I chose to have a beer this time. It might not complement the food, but it would help settle my nerves. Meredith ordered a starter, so by the time the main arrived I could barely hold my glass. Thank God she had not protested about me ordering the lobster. The waiter brought out a silver platter and as he placed it on the table in front of us; I watched as Meredith’s gaze fixed on the lobster’s claw, which was holding a diamond engagement ring. A simple solitaire that glistened under the evening sunshine.
I dropped to my knees at the side of her. “Meredith Butler, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”
“Yes.” She nodded. A tear forming at the corner of her eye. “Oh my God, yes, Garrett. Yes.”
I took the ring and placed it on her finger. It was a little loose, but the jeweler had assured me that could be fixed, no problem.
“Could we have a bottle of champagne, please?” I asked the wait staff, who ran to get some.
I toasted my future wife, and we enjoyed the rest of our meal. Mer kept staring down at the ring like she couldn’t believe it was there, like she was dreaming or something.
“I’ll move to Boston,” she announced. “Garrett, I want to be wherever you are.”
“I’m going to be right here, baby.” I told her. “My work takes me all around here. I can set up an office here if I need to.” I caught her hand in mine and stroked her fingers. “This place looks like a great place to bring up kids and I think we need to go house hunting and get one of those lovely colonials for ourselves. One with plenty of room for babies.”
“You mean it? We can live here?”
“Seems perfect to me.” I told her. “Just like you are.”
