Allison just laughed. She knew that people didn’t understand her choice about a driver’s license. It wasn’t something new to her. Even her own mother hounded her to get her license. Someday she probably would, but for the time being she was just going to let Drake do all the driving.
“If you take Interstate 5 north I’ll let you know where we need to get off.” Allison leaned toward Drake and kissed his cheek “You do want me to tell you where to get off don’t you? Or would you prefer to MapQuest it?”
Drake felt his cock throb at Allison’s words and the idea of her getting him off. He knew she was talking about directions but his body just loved having her so close to him. She was a tantalizing beauty with a hilarious sense of humor. Drake wouldn’t put it past her if she were bringing him to some weird alternative movie premiere or something like that.
His driving was fast, but that was how Allison liked it. She never felt uncomfortable when people drove fast. It was a rush that she couldn’t get anywhere else. She leaned back in her seat and enjoyed the drive as they made their way north toward the event venue.
“What kind of charity work do you do?” Allison asked.
“Not nearly enough,” Drake said. Embarrassed to admit that he hardly did any. Only when Samantha arranged something and practically placed him at the event did Drake participate in any charity events. He did, however, donate a lot of money to charities that he thought were doing a great job. “Mostly financial donations.”
“It’s alright. I wasn’t asking to make you feel bad. I know you’re busy.”
“I really would like to do more events. I just get so caught up with work. I need a partner that I can do things with. Show up to events together and have a little date night while we do good.”
Allison reached over and held onto Drake’s hand. His words were like they had been taken right out of her mind. That was exactly why she had wanted to meet Drake. She thought it would be great to attend charity events, and other events, together as a team.
“Get off here and then turn toward the Chinese Theater,” Allison said as she pointed to the huge theater surrounded by cars and paparazzi.
“What is it?”
“It’s a beauty pageant, I’m the MC for the night,” Allison said with a huge smile on her face.
She could have told him that the event was a beauty pageant for girls with disabilities, but she didn’t want to take the fun out of it for him. Allison still remembered the first Miss Amazing pageant that she had watched and how exciting it was to see the women as they walked across the stage.
The girls were between the ages of 5 and 55 and all had significant mental or physical disabilities. The Miss Amazing pageant made it possible for them to feel beautiful and participate in a program that built them up. It was near and dear to Allison’s heart.
Drake smiled an awkward smile as they parked and made their way quickly through the crowd behind the building and to the stage. Allison didn’t have time to practice at all and was just handed her cue cards and pushed up onto the stage.
The stage manager grabbed Drake and brought him out into the audience so he could sit in the front row and watch the show up close. He looked around the audience and saw a lot of families there. They all looked so excited.
It was cute to see all the mothers and fathers dressed in their best clothes. Drake was happy to see that he wasn’t the only person wearing a tuxedo though, as many of the men in the audience had one on also.
As the lights dimmed and Allison came onto the stage, the audience erupted in applause. They were so excited to see her that they stood up and Drake did too. He couldn’t believe just how excited everyone was to see her.
“Hello everyone,” Allison began. “I’m so excited to be here hosting the Miss Amazing pageant today. You know it was six years ago that I first became a fan of this amazing organization and I’m a changed person because of all the wonderful girls I’ve met. Today, we are going to start with the little princesses.”
Drake looked to the edge of the stage where he saw a little girl about five or six years old standing near the curtain with a walker. There was a woman standing next to her and talking to her.
“First up we have Miss Abigail. This is her first year with Miss Amazing, let’s all give her a big applause.”
Drake felt his eyes start to water as the sweet little blonde-haired girl pushed her walker onto the stage. She stood in one pose and then moved her walker so she could make another pose. It was the most precious thing he had seen. Even as a guy, Drake felt his heart clench as the little girl moved across the stage and the audience clapped for her. She was so excited to be up there that her face literally beamed with light.
“Next up we have Ronna, she’s an old pro at this pageant and is ready to show us a little sass today.”
Ronna walked on the stage with the help of a man that appeared to be her father. He guided her to the center of the stage and then whispered something before he took a step back so she could do a few poses. When she was done, Ronna reached out for her father and his arm was instantly there for her to hold onto and walk back to the spot on the stage where she would stand while the other contestants did their walks.
Drake felt the tears pouring down his face by the time the fifth girl was brought out on stage in a wheelchair and unable to lift her arms or head. She was dressed in a beautiful dress and had a huge smile on her face as her mother twirled her chair around the stage. Drake couldn’t stop himself from crying. He wasn’t sure why the little girls had touched his heart strings so much, but he just couldn’t stop himself.
Crying and emotions weren’t something that Drake normally gave in to. Most of his life he had been the tough guy who didn’t cry, not even when he fell and broke his arm as a child. But as an adult, Drake was open to crying a lot more. He found himself sometimes watching an emotional commercial and tears rolling down his face. But tears, and emotions, were certainly something that was new to him as he approached forty years of age. He definitely wouldn’t have been crying in that audience when he was in his twenties; no matter how cute the girls were.
As the first group of girls left the stage and Allison prepared to read the names of the next group, he caught her focus and wiped his tears away. She playfully mocked him by pretending to wipe her own tears away and then brought him a small container of Kleenex that she had under the podium.
“I’m always prepared at this event. Sorry, I should have given you some of these before you sat down,” Allison said as she kissed Drake on the cheek and then went back up on stage.
Chapter 5
As the event continued on, Drake watched Allison in awe. She was so at ease on the stage, nothing appeared to faze her at all and she showed the ultimate kindness to all the contestants.
He didn’t think he could be surprised by someone as much as Allison had surprised him that day. The Miss Amazing pageant put so much of life in perspective. Here were girls that could hardly walk and they were on stage smiling and showing off their outfits. It wasn’t about who was prettiest, it was purely about having fun and recognizing girls.
While on stage, Allison kept looking at Drake to see if he was getting bored. A beauty pageant wasn’t probably the best date in the world, especially since Allison couldn’t even spend time with Drake for the first few hours they were there. But every time she looked at Drake he was smiling and enjoying the show; even though he was sometimes smiling through tears.
It was moving to see how much Drake appreciated what the young girls were going through to be up on stage. Allison had participated in traditional pageants when she was young and they were nothing like the non-profit she was helping with.
Finding a man who could share her passion for volunteering was important for Allison. She didn’t always have a lot of time to give to organizations, but Allison felt strongly about making some time each month for the groups that she felt strongly about.
There were so many celebrities, business people, and models who h
ad the financial means to donate to organizations. But what many of those people didn’t know was that actually showing up to a function was much more powerful for the people involved. Allison had learned that lesson very well over the last few years.
Helping with the pageant was just one of the groups that she felt strongly about. It was essential for young girls to feel confident and empowered and that was why Allison loved that particular program so much.
As a teenager, Allison felt bullied by her peers in the pageant and felt like she could never be thin enough or pretty enough. But the Miss Amazing pageant wasn’t like that at all. Everyone there cheered for each other and came together to make the other girls feel good about themselves. It was certainly an amazing organization.
By the time the pageant ended and the winner had been crowned, Allison and Drake had been at the pageant for almost three hours. When she came out from behind the stage to get Drake, one of the girls wrapped her arms around Allison’s waist and wouldn’t let go.
“I love you so much Miss Allison,” the girl said.
Her mother was quickly right behind her and trying to get her to release her grip on Allison.
“I’m so sorry,” the Mom said. “She follows you on Instagram and just loves everything you do. It will just take me a second to convince her to let you go.”
“Hi there,” Allison said as she looked down at the young girl. “Would you like to take a photo with me for my Instagram page?”
The girl instantly released her grip on Allison and started to shake her head up and down to say yes.
“Drake, could you take our photo?” Allison said as she motioned for him to come over.
“Now that is a good-looking couple of girls,” Drake said.
It was clear that the young girl’s mother instantly knew who Drake was, she smiled and couldn’t stop staring at him. As Drake took the picture of Allison and the young girl, the mother took a picture of Drake.
“Would you like me to take your picture with Drake?” Allison asked as she noted the fondness for Drake.
“Only if you wouldn’t mind, Mr. Leblanc,” the Mother said.
“Absolutely, I love getting my picture taken with pretty ladies,” Drake said as he wrapped his arm around the young girl’s mother and they snapped a photo.
As the young girl and her mother made their way back into the crowd, Allison pulled Drake toward her and wrapped her arms around him in a giant hug. There weren’t very many men in the world who could actually enjoy a day at a beauty pageant. She felt very lucky to have Drake there with her for the event.
“Should we get going?” Allison asked.
“I think we will need to wait for a little bit,” Drake said with a huge smile on his face.
“Why?”
“Because you have some admirers who would like to talk to you first,” Drake turned Allison around and she was face to face with a half-dozen young contestants who wanted to talk with her and get pictures.
For the next hour, Allison graciously talked with the young contestants and took photos with them. Drake had been her designated photographer for a while but then some of the fans and their families started asking him to sign things and take photos with them as well so Allison had a volunteer from the pageant take photos.
It was quite the scene as girls lined up in front of the couple. First, they wanted Allison’s picture and then Drake’s, by the end of the afternoon people were asking to have their photos with the couple together.
As Allison wrapped her arm behind Drake and smiled for the dozens of photos, she realized it would be one hundred times worse if they were with paparazzi. The girls and their families were gracious and waited for their turns. They didn’t push or force themselves on Allison and Drake. Nothing like what the paparazzi would do to the couple if they showed up to an event together.
“I need to get you alone,” Drake whispered into Allison’s ear.
“Oh, you do? Well I’m starving, can we sit down to dinner with everyone first?”
“Nope,” Drake said with determination in his voice. “Hi, everyone. We are going to go use the little boys and girls room for a minute. We will be right back.”
Drake grabbed Allison’s hand and pulled her behind him and down the long corridor in the back that lead to the restrooms. But he had no intention of stopping at the restrooms. Instead, he was bringing Allison to a small quiet room he had seen when they first walked in the back door.
“Where are we going?” Allison giggled as she tried to keep up with Drake.
As they reached the small closet of a room, Drake pulled Allison in and shut the door behind them. It was filled with shelves of toiletries and cleaning supplies. Not the most romantic place in the world, but he had been consumed with a need to have a moment alone with Allison.
“I needed to get you alone,” Drake said as he held Allison close to his body.
The look in his eyes was intense and she couldn’t help but think he had some naughty plans for them later in the evening. Or maybe his plans were intended for right there in the closet.
“You have me alone, now what?” Allison whispered as she let her mouth move to his and they kissed gently.
Her fingers tingled with excitement as she pressed up against Drake’s chest. He was built like a Greek God and she loved feeling his muscular form under her hands. Her hand moved slowly against his muscles as she took in the firmness of his body and tried to remember each moment. She might not get to touch Drake again after their day was over; Allison was going to take advantage of every moment she had with him.
“Now, I’m going to show you something,” he whispered as his lips took a break from her mouth and moved to gently kissing her neck.
Slowly he kissed from her ear down the side of her body. He didn’t stop at her neck but continued to kiss down the length of Allison’s arm and then back up again.
Her shimmering dress glimmered in the dim light of the closet they were in and Drake couldn’t wait to get Allison away from the charity event and back to the house. He wanted to spend some quality time with Allison; without clothing.
“We need to go eat,” Allison said as she gently pressed on Drake to push him away.
“I’m starving,” Drake said as he slid to his knees and pushed her dress up around her waist.
His mouth moved her panties out of the way and before Allison knew what was happening, Drake had his tongue on her warm wet center.
She grabbed onto the shelving unit behind her as Drake grabbed one of her legs and put it up over his shoulder. She held on to try and balance herself but Drake grabbed the other leg and put it on his other shoulder. Allison no longer had her feet on the ground and was left to hold onto the shelving and Drake’s head for balance.
His tongue moved deep inside of her and Allison felt her body shiver with excitement. The whole thing was beyond anything that Allison would have thought she would do. Never had she even considered having sex in a public place before, although the closet was admittedly pretty private.
The excitement of the moment and the touch of Drake’s tongue had Allison dripping with excitement. She had to bite down in her small handbag to prevent her from screaming out in delight as his tongue made her body tremble. Each flick and lick of his tongue touched her in a way she wasn’t prepared for.
Drake had her in the perfect position for him to deliver enjoyment. Her legs were spread wide, her body was in his control. He moved diligently to lap up her juices and bring her body to orgasm. Slowly at first but then as her body trembled Drake increased the speed and pressure that he applied.
Faster and harder he moved his tongue until he felt the muscles of her thighs tighten up and her body arch in a final attempt to prevent the orgasm. Surely, he wasn’t going to let her stop the big moment from happening, though; Drake pressed Allison up against the shelving unit and used it to hold her while he slid his hands to her knees. Gently he spread her body open wide as his tongue finished her off with a delightful thrust i
n and out of her body.
Finally, Allison released her body and gave in to the orgasm that shot through her. She thrust her thighs in tight around his head and held onto his hair as she shook with delight. Her whole body trembled from her fingers to her toes as she released the energy of the orgasm.
Drake used his arm strength to gently lower Allison back down to the ground and steady her as he slid her panties back up her shaky legs. For a minute or so he felt bad that he had exhausted her and they still needed to go socialize throughout the dinner meal. But the look in her eyes made him quickly feel better. Allison’s eyes were glazed over with happiness as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed Drake with more passion than he could have imagined.
“Wow, I needed that,” she laughed as she steadied herself and opened the closet door.
Drake followed behind as they made their way back out to the main hall and found their table to sit down to dinner.
Immediately after sitting down, Allison grabbed her water glass and drank every drop of water in the cup. She motioned for the waiter to bring her more and when he arrived she requested that he just leave the pitcher there for him.
“I’m so thirsty,” she said as she drank the water and looked at their fellow table mates.
Drake couldn’t help but smile as he thought about how she had shook from excitement with her orgasm. It was fun seeing her smiling and exhausted. He couldn’t wait to do that some more when their event was over.
Chapter 6
“Hands to yourself, mister,” Allison said as Drake slid his hand under the table and up her thigh.
“Shhh, we are listening to the speaker,” Drake said as he continued with his hand.
The speaker was a mother of last year’s winner. She talked about all the opportunities her daughter had and the significant changes that happened with her daughter’s health because of the new positive attitude. But as much as Allison wanted to listen to the speaker, she couldn’t stop thinking about Drake. He had totally destroyed her concentration and there was no way she would be able to think about anything but him for the rest of their dinner.
