I give you the third rose and this is the red rose. Within these roses lie all the love I have for you. All the caring, all the loving I will give to you. This rose shows you how you should be treated. I will always romance your heart just to see you smile like an Angel.
The third student walks over to Leslie and passes the roses. He knelt on one knee, lowered his head and raised his right hand to her. In his hand there was a ring. Once Leslie saw the ring more tears flowed from her eyes.
FOURTH STUDENT
I am the Fourth Rose. I am the White Rose. With this rose I show you all the passion that
lies in my heart, all the tenderness I have towards you, all the love that I will show you each time I have and can, with all my strength and love. My heart cries for you.
The fourth student danced to her like a little ballerina. She passed the bouquet to Leslie and twirled in front of her.
FIFTH STUDENT
I am the fifth rose. I am a rose that has no color. A rose that is undying.
A rose that you can see through and there is nothing to hide. A rose so pure and true, that all that lies in it is you. So perfect, so precious. A man that is so pure of heart like an angel. I am a Transparent Rose. With this rose I show you all that I am. With this rose I show you I have nothing to hide. Here you can see your reflection that lies in my heart. A love so deeply living in me - I love you with all my heart.
And there is no way that these roses will die. Your love is the water to keep them alive.
The young man walks up to Leslie and passes her a bottle of water. Leslie instinctively opens it and takes a few sips. All five of the students gathered around her and begin to sing. There were several teachers standing the doorway watching the ceremony that was going on. Even a few of them were wiping their eyes from the emotional presentation.
When they finished their song Leslie’s eyes were swollen and red. She cried so much that Aiden was feeding her Kleenex. Leslie took her time to open each gift that was presented to her by the students. A few colleagues walked into the room to see the gifts. Her hands shook as she opened them.
MS. THOMAS
Girl what did you do to deserve all of this?
Aiden and Leslie turned to look at their colleague from down the hall.
LESLIE
Be a loving wife.
MS. THOMAS
You have never introduced us to your husband. Who is he?
AIDEN (interjecting)
Nope. Nope. Nope. The only thing that she is going to do is tell you that she is married. She will not introduce you to him for anything. I have known her for three years and have never met him.
LESLIE
Right. I feel that people have motives. I keep my professional life separate from my personal life.
MS. THOMAS
Well you have yourself someone. A great man from the looks of it. I will be glad when I find someone.
LESLIE
You will in time. Don’t rush it. When the right man comes along you will know. Just pray and believe that God will send him to you.
MS. THOMAS
Not asking who your man is, but does he have any brothers or a young uncle?
They all shared a laugh.
LESLIE
I am not a matchmaker but how about you and Aiden go on a date.
Aiden quickly turned and looked at Ms. Thomas. He could not believe that Leslie just put him out on front street.
AIDEN
I…I…I probably am not Thomas’ type.
MS. THOMAS
Well if you don’t want to go on a date with me just say it. I promise you that it will not hurt my feelings.
AIDEN
The last thing that I would do to anyone is hurt their feelings, but I am kind of seeing someone right now.
MS. THOMAS
Everyone has someone but me.
Ms. Thomas storms out of Leslie’s room. Aiden and Leslie looked at each other and laughed.
AIDEN
She is thirsty for a man.
LESLIE
That is probably the reason why she doesn’t have one.
AIDEN
Exactly.
LESLIE
You never told me that you were seeing anyone.
AIDEN
Well we have been dating for about two years now.
LESLIE
Where did you meet her?
AIDEN
Here in Birmingham. He…I mean she works for a bank as a Corporate Financial Analyst.
LESLIE
Oh okay. Which bank?
AIDEN
Now hold up. You didn’t tell me about your husband I am not going to divulge any information about who I am dating.
LESLIE
Touché.
Leslie continued to open her gifts until she got to the last envelope. When she pulled out the contents she found two tickets to an Off-Broadway play in New Orleans. Behind it were two cruise line tickets that departs from New Orleans, Louisiana visiting Cozumel, Mexico to Belize City, Belize to Mahogany Bay, Roatan, and Bay Islands, Honduras.
Leslie let out a loud scream before she knew it. It scared Aiden that he dropped his soda.
AIDEN
What is wrong with you?
Leslie jumped up and hugged Aiden again. She held the tickets up in his face. Aiden tried to read them but Leslie was shaking badly. Aiden quickly grabbed the tickets and read them.
AIDEN
Congratulations. And it’s the right timing…doing Christmas Break.
LESLIE
Yes and that is our fifth year wedding anniversary. Ohhhh. So that is what the five different roses were for. This man is something else I tell you.
AIDEN
Looks like someone may be walking crazy into work tomorrow.
LESLIE
How do you figure?
AIDEN
Well tonight is birthday sex and in a few weeks is anniversary sex.
LESLIE
Oh boy hush.
Here We Go
I danced around the kitchen preparing Leslie’s surprise birthday dinner. I wanted this to be a very romantic dinner. I wanted to start with Herb Stuffed Mushrooms and Shrimp Ceviche in Phyllo Cups. Then for the entrée I was preparing Filet Mignon with Mushroom-Wine Sauce and baking a German Chocolate cake for dessert. I knew that she would not be home soon from school because of a meeting with her sorority after school.
As I was frosting my cake my cellular phone rang. I picked it up but I the screen was blank. I heard it again and remembered that it was my second phone. I raced to get it out of the briefcase.
NATHAN
Hello.
AIDEN
What are you doing sir?
NATHAN
Oh nothing frying some chicken for dinner.
AIDEN
Sounds good.
NATHAN
What are you doing?
AIDEN
Nothing just flipping through channels, bored.
NATHAN
I see. What are your plans for tonight?
AIDEN
Not a thing. Why? Are you coming over, or inviting me for dinner?
NATHAN
I wish I could invite you for dinner baby. I am having a card game tonight.
AIDEN
Oh cool. I can play cards.
NATHAN (nervously)
Oh, you see this is my card group that is private. I told you about this.
AIDEN
I remember now. How can I join?
NATHAN
Right now we are not accepting new members.
AIDEN
Ok well I think that I will hit the gym. I need to work off a little tension.
NATHAN
Maybe later on tonight I can swing by and work it off for you.
AIDEN
How late is later on?
NATHAN
Maybe around eleven tonight.
AIDEN
Call me to make sure that I am back from the gym.
NATHAN
Why wouldn’t you back by eleven? It’s five o’clock now.
AIDEN
You never know. Sometimes when I get into my workout and it’s going good I lose track of time.
NATHAN
Okay well do this for me. Set the alarm on your phone to leave the gym about seven. That’s two good hours to work out. Go home take a shower because I will be over by eleven.
AIDEN
I might can handle that.
NATHAN
There is no “might”. Handle that. (hears key going into the door and begins to rush off of the phone) Look I think my guys are pulling into my driveway. I will hit you back later.
Make sure you are home by eleven.
AIDEN
Okay I will.
NATHAN
831.
831 is Aiden’s and my code for “I love you.” 8 means 8 letters, 3 means 3 words and 1 was for 1 person. I hurriedly finished my place setting before Leslie walked into the kitchen. I opened my navy blue robe and exposed my matching silk boxers. I had a bouquet of each color rose that I sent to her school as the centerpiece on the table. I pulled my chair back and took a seat.
Leslie walked into the kitchen with some of her gifts. When she saw the table and the décor a smile illuminated her face. I rose from the table singing “Happy Birthday” to her. I walked over to her and grabbed her waist. When I finished my song I instructed her to go shower and to put on the new house robe that I had lying on the bed.
As usual, she followed her instructions. I knew in my heart and mind that I had the best wife in the world.
I pondered what else I had to do before she returned. I could not find a thing so I returned to my seat at the table. After ten minutes Leslie returned. She was looking so lovely in her robe that matched mine. I noticed that she pinned her hair up.
I walked over to her and pulled her chair out for her. You could have bought Leslie for a penny she was so happy.
I brought out the appetizers, poured her a glass of wine and gave her a long kiss. I wanted to make sure that she was very relaxed tonight.
NATHAN
Did you enjoy your presents?
LESLIE
I did. Thanks for everything. How did you get the students to do the presentation?
NATHAN
You know that I am a man of many secrets. I get a lot of things done that you don’t know about.
LESLIE
I see.
Leslie tasted the stuffed mushrooms and took a sip of wine. I knew that she loved mushrooms. Just to watch her eat made me think about when we first met. So young and tender.
I knew that it was time for the main course. I fixed our plates and set them on the table. I wanted this to be a night that she would never forget.
Leslie and I talked about the events of the day. I discussed the plans for the cruise.
Dinner was over and I knew that it was time for the greatest gift of all. I wanted to make love to my wife.
I escorted her from the kitchen to the bedroom. The click clack of her heels on the hardwood floor made my nature raise more.
Upon entering the bedroom I stopped and looked Leslie directly in her eyes. I caressed her face with the back of my fingers. She closed her eyes with ecstasy.
NATHAN
You know that I don’t need sex. I need you. I love you.
LESLIE
I love you to baby. I want to have sex. I want to give you me.
Leslie lowered her robe from her shoulders. I followed suit. I lowered Leslie on to her pillow. I placed a finger into her pussy. She was so wet that my finger slid right in.
I went to the kitchen and got some whip cream, strawberries and chocolate. I was going to make Leslie my dessert and I was going to be hers.
I squeezed the bottle allowing the chocolate to cover the areolas of both breasts. I started with a simple lick tease. Once I heard her moan I latched my lips onto her nipple. As I sucked on one, I squeezed the other. I let off of the right and started on the left.
I took the whip cream and smeared it over her pussy. I took one strawberry and placed it in her. When I pulled it out I put it against her lips.
LESLIE (refusing)
I am not eating that.
NATHAN
Come one baby. Do it for me. It’s all you with cream on it.
Leslie squinted her face and took a bite. She only ate half of it. I finished the rest. I decided to take another strawberry and do it again. The taste of Leslie was so sweet.
I took some chocolate and poured it on my manhood. I placed it in Leslie’s face for her to suck it off. Leslie took it all in until her nose touched my clean shaven midsection. I felt the head of my manhood go down her throat.
Leslie motioned for me to lie on my stomach. She began to massage my shoulders and back. I thought that this was her birthday. This was one of the things that I wanted to do for her. Her hands felt soft and firm as she worked my muscles. She knew what she was doing, and I loved her massages. Soon I was very relaxed. When she reached my lower back, I wondered how low she would go. She kneaded my butt and thighs and worked my legs from my calves to my feet. The sensations were mind blowing. I could feel my manhood pulsating under my stomach.
Finally, she gave my ass a playful slap. This sent shockwaves throughout my body.
I flipped over and hugged her tight. The warmth of her nakedness felt exhilarating. I begin to kiss her chin and neck softly. Her hands had moved down and found my manhood. When I kissed her our tongues were working feverishly against each other.
We continued to kiss for a few minutes. I moved down to each breast, her navel, and the insides of both thighs before I finally plunged my tongue deep into her womanhood. The hotness and wetness of it made me more excited as I nibbled at her clit and caused her to have her first orgasm.
LESLIE (screams)
Damn baby….stop…I can’t take anymore.
I refused to listen to her.
I got up on my knees and placed my manhood at the entrance of her temple. Moving up and down along the slit, I coated it with her secretions and pushed it in slowly, inch by inch by inch. Then I pulled myself out of her fast and repeated in and out several times until Leslie skeeted. Finally, I thrust forcefully until all nine inches were buried deep in her.
Leslie grabbed my firm ass and helped pick up a rhythm that had her thrashing about as I continued to plow into her. She loved the way I was pressing up against her clit each time I plunged in. She leaned up as both of us watched it pull out and back in. I pulled out and positioned her to enter from the back. She clenched my manhood as it went in deeper and deeper. She reached under and grabbed my large testicles and caressed them.
After several minutes of doggy-style, Leslie then pushed me back and told me to lie down. She straddled my thighs and slowly lowered herself on my stiff member. She began to bounce up and down on me and ride me like a horse. She screamed out in passion. Her shouts caused me to erupt. I felt the semen pulse into her and I pulled out quickly, shooting jets of cum to her breast.
Demarcus
Aiden walked into the gym with his bag on his back. The gym was loaded with people on the treadmills, ellipticals, weight training, and a few were using personal trainers. Aiden didn’t know where to start.
Aiden went to the second level. He found a man in the weight room finishing up his workout. He watched him from the doorway. He lay on the weight bench, his legs spread apart, lifting what looked to be over 200 pounds. The muscles in his arms and thighs flexed as he gripped and lifted the bar over his head. On his fourth set of reps, sweat slid from his body onto the floor. Aiden turned away.
He rose to a sitting position and wiped the sweat from his face with a towel. Involuntarily my eyes took in his many tattoos.
DEMARCUS
What’s going on?
AIDEN (nervously)
Ah, nothing just about to start my workout.
DEMARCUS
You working alone?
When he sto
od Aiden was mesmerized by his body.
AIDEN
Yes.
DEMARCUS
Are you here to build muscle, tone, or lose weight?
Aiden dropped his bag to the floor.
AIDEN
Do I look like I need to lose weight?
DEMARCUS (laughing and throwing his towel over his shoulder)
No. I didn’t mean it like that. How can I get out of this one?
AIDEN
You can’t. But I am here to tone up and get some things off my mind.
DEMARCUS
Well I just finished my workout, um, would you like some help or company?
Aiden responded with a quick “yes”.
DEMARCUS (extending his hand)
I am Demarcus by the way.
AIDEN
Aiden. Nice to meet you.
DEMARCUS
Likewise.
AIDEN
How long have you been working out?
DEMARCUS
For about six years. I am a professional bodybuilder.
AIDEN
I can tell. So you compete?
DEMARCUS
All of the time.
AIDEN
Cool.
DEMARCUS
How about we start over here on the treadmill? I want to get you warmed up.
Aiden followed Demarcus to the machine. Demarcus instructed him to stand on it while he programmed it.
After working out for about three hours Demarcus and Aiden went to the showers. In the community shower Aiden tried his best to keep his eyes on his business. He would glance toward Demarcus every now and then.
DEMARCUS
May I borrow your shampoo?
AIDEN
I didn’t bring any. Sorry
Demarcus finished his shower and stepped out with a towel around his chiseled body. The towel was barely covering him. Demarcus rifled through his Adidas gym bag, pulled out his shoe bag, then removed his clothes that he planned to wear out of the gym.
Aiden watched him as he applied deodorant and baby powder. Demarcus caught Aiden staring at him.
DEMARCUS
You mind putting lotion on my back?
Aiden became so nervous that he dropped his shirt. Demarcus walked over and picked it up. He stood so close to Aiden that their noses nearly touch. Aiden looked up at Demarcus standing 5’10”.
DEMARCUS
Don’t be nervous.
AIDEN
