“Yes, they left about twenty minutes ago. I made sure their reservation was across the city too,” she said before she left myoffice. Less than a minute later, she was back with Mr. Sampson in tow. “Mr. Sampson, would you like anything to drink?”
He smiled, then nodded his head. “Yes, water will be fine. Thank you, Jackie.”
Jackie told us that she would be back shortly before she left the office. Mr. Sampson was dressed like this was a real ass business meeting. He wore a tailored navy-blue suit with some nice ass wing-tip shoes. I wasn’t going to speak on the hat that he had in hand.
“You sharp, Mr. Sampson! I need to find out who your tailor is.” I ran my hand down his lapel, then took a step back. “That suit is fresh.”
He took a step back, put his hands in his pockets, then struck a pose. “You’re not the only one that can put on a suit. Oh, and I got the best tailor in town when it comes to altering my suits. Her name is Julie Sampson.”
That answer didn’t surprise me at all. In the weeks that I’d had the pleasure to be in Julie’s presence, she had shown that she was a woman of many talents. She had been such a blessing to Simonette. My baby girl was overdue and miserable at this point. Her doctors discussed inducing labor, but she did not want to do that. Simonette and Rissa ate up the way Jubilae, Joy, and Julie loved them. Rissa had a lot of abandonment issues when it came to a maternal figure since she never had one.
“I should have known that. Let’s sit over here so we can talk.” I escorted him to the lounge area of my office. Just as we sat down, Jackie brought in the water. Once we were settled in, I shook my nerves off. “Mr. Sampson, I wanted to have a conversation with you to ask for your blessing to marry your daughter.”
A smirk settled on his face as he sat back comfortably in his seat. “It took you long enough, boy. I knew at Sim’s baby showerthat this was coming. Julie told me that night that you were going to marry our baby.”
I chuckled. “It took me long enough? I thought that you would say that we haven’t been together long enough.”
He waved me off. “Robert, you’re almost sixty years old. If you hadn’t come to me in another few weeks, I would have told my daughter to leave your unsure ass alone. Y’all are too old to be unsure of what you want and who you want it with. Now your debacle of a first marriage, I’ll blame that on your youth, so I won’t hold that against you. Did Jubilae tell you that I told her mother that she was going to be my wife on our first date?”
My eyelids stretched. “No, she didn’t. I can understand that, though, because I think I knew that Jubilae would be my wife after our third lunch. I don’t have to tell you how amazing of a woman that your daughter is. You know because you and Julie raised her to be the person she is.”
“Do you already have a ring?” he asked. He watched me as I got up and went to my desk to retrieve what he asked for. I stood next to him, then opened the ring box before I gave it to him. His smile slowly built. “Rubies and sapphires, huh?”
My mind went back to that moment that I learned about her love for the precious stones. I had to pull myself from memory lane quickly before my dick embarrassed me in front of my future father-in-law. “My wife deserves the best.”
Mr. Sampson gazed up at me. “Son, you have my blessing. No matter how old she is, that is still my baby girl and will always be. I’m not sure what all of this means for y’all professionally, but protect my daughter. Executives of these companies are getting assassinated. If I go to hell, I would rather I go without taking a gang of people with me.”
I snickered. “You got that, Mr. Sampson. Trust me, she will always be safe with me.”
When he asked if I thought about how I would propose, my eyes involuntarily rolled. I didn’t have to think about it because the women in my life all did it for me. “Yeah, I got it.”
Glammie In Full Effect. . .
“Fuck, Pressie! Suck that dick just like that.” Robert’s satisfaction always satisfied me.
He was such a loving and giving man. I loved the dichotomy of who he was with me and his family versus who he was in the corporate world. He was a man of integrity, grit, dominance,honor, and so much more. He had all of the qualities that you wanted in a leader of an organization and a family.
On top of his leadership in our company, he was also a leader in his fraternity. I knew that he was a Sigma, but I didn’t realize how active he was until recently when he told me that I would go with him to a conference that he planned to attend soon. I never thought about sororities, because I was busy being a wife and mother. He told me that I still had a possibility to become a member through a graduate chapter. I figured we would circle back to that.
It was mid-morning, and I felt like my man needed a treat. We had a passionate night after our weekly date night. We were both intentional about the time that we spent with each other that was not business focused. Yes, we spent a lot of time together in the office, but that was business. Well, 93 percent of the time. It was hard to be around a man like Robert and not want to fuck him all the time.
I hissed when his grip on my hair tightened. I knew what that meant. My suction went into overdrive. It was time to taste the rainbow. “Fuck! Fuck! Shit! Damn!”He curses so much.
I pushed him all the way to the back of my throat when he told me that he was about to cum. Once he was drained, I sat up from my bent over position on his bed. Most of our time was spent at his home. It was becoming clear that I would more than likely move in with him. I had no plans to sell my home, but I would rent it for a long- or short-term lease.
“That was tasty.” I smacked his leg. “Come on so we can get ready to go see my baby.”
He tittered. “Your baby, huh? I could have sworn it was Simonette and Daylen’s baby, but alright.”
Sim had her baby last week, and I couldn’t be more excited. Between everyone around her, she didn’t have to lift a finger.Everyone was obsessed with DJ. I took my Glammie duties seriously.
I loved Simonette and Rissa so much. They were two women who needed mother figures in their lives for different reasons. Rissa never experienced a mother’s love, and Sim’s mother was a waste of God’s time.
When that woman popped up at the baby shower, I wanted to beat her ass. I actually planned to, but Joy reminded me that the president of a billion-dollar company could not just beat someone’s ass. I didn’t expect her to slap the shit out of the woman, but it was on brand for her. Chance didn’t even try to stop the slap, and I knew that he knew she would do it.
Her attempt to embarrass Robert with claims of impotence was laughable. Just because a person was older in age that did not mean that their sexual desires, drive, and life died with their age. Did adjustments have to be made to make sure things could continue? Sometimes. Robert and I took great care of ourselves. I was the one more worried because my ass was in menopause.
Every time we had sex, I worried that my lady love would dry up on me. That was what my doctor warned me about when we talked about my lowering level of estrogen. She suggested types of lubricant to use if I needed it. Thankfully, I didn’t need it at all with Robert. It felt like he had the opposite effect when it came to what my doctor said would happen. I had to start wearing pantyliners because that man could say the slightest thing, and I found my panties wet.
