“No. It’s nothing like that at all. Leon owns this club, which he wants us to meet him at this Friday and asked me to buy you a new dress.”
Natalie was confused. “Who is paying for the new dress?”
Jack had to think fast.
“Um. Leon said he would pay for the dress himself. He just wanted you to look your best when he meets you.”
It was late and Natalie didn’t ask anymore questions that night. The next morning before Jack slipped out the front door for work, she managed to catch him and asked.
“What do you want me to wear on Friday and how much money can I spend?”
“Um. Wear something sexy, I don’t care what you spend as long as it makes you look nice.”
Jack rushed out the door before Natalie had a chance to ask him anymore questions and as she hollered out to him he turned and said. “I’ll call you on my lunch hour.”
Jack had been able to finagle his way around any more questions about Leon that week. Natalie was showing and getting ready that evening while Jack paced the floor again. Leon had called him at work yesterday and told him not to forget about their date on Friday.
On Friday morning, Natalie decided to take her neighbor, Alice along shopping with her for a new dress. Alice was a petite blonde married to a guy named Richard. Neither couple had any kids but spent plenty of time traveling and going out together. Alice was Natalie’s closest friend.
“Natalie. Who is this old friend of Jack’s that he wants you to dress up so sexily for?”
“Alice. You know how men are. Jack is proud of the way I take care of myself and Jack most likely wants this guy to see that I’m every bit as pretty as he told him.”
Alice picked out a sexy green dress for Natalie which was low cut and showed off Natalie’s cleavage. It was a cotton dress that fit tight but not extremely short. It was short enough to show off Natalie’s fabulous long legs.
Alice decided to buy a black dress since Natalie talked her into going along on Friday since Richard was out of town all weekend on a business trip.
They arrived at the club about five minutes before eight and walked inside the dark club and past people dancing on the dance floor as they searched for Leon. Finally. Jack saw Leon sitting alone back in a booth in the corner.
They approached him and Leon was well dressed in black with his shirt unbuttoned almost down to his navel. He wore large diamond earrings in both ears. Natalie and Alice were surprised to find out that he was a black man. Natalie looked at Alice when they saw how muscularly well built he was.
Jack introduced the ladies to Leon who was very pleased as he took each of their hands and kissed them. Alice scooted around to the opposite side of Leon from where Natalie sat. It was Leon’s idea that they sit next to him in the booth.
They ordered drinks as Leon got acquainted with the two wives.
“Jack. I didn’t know you were going to bring me a bonus tonight. You’re a good man and you keep your word.”
The women glanced at each other as Natalie started the conversation.
“Jack told me you two were in the service together.”
“That’s right. We were. Jack told me all about you but I didn’t believe you were this beautiful.”
Both wives kept starring at Leon’s large arms and his wide shoulders. Neither woman was ever attracted to a black man before but both found him very handsome and charming. Their conversation went from talking about how Leon and Jack met to the women asking Leon about how much he worked out to keep in such great shape.
Leon seemed to have both wives’ attentions as he tried to divide his contestation in half with each wife.
“Why don’t I take both of you ladies to my personal gym here at the club and I could teach you both how to properly lift weights?”
Leon had them sucked in when Alice mentioned that Richard was gone for the weekend. They agreed to meeting at the gym the next day. Jack just sat listening to Leon as he made his moves on his wife and Alice.
Jack was in deep thought at the moment trying to figure out a way to shift all of Leon’s attention over to Alice and leave his wife out of it. OK. So he was being a jerk sitting up his neighbor’s wife with Leon. What other choice did he have?
Natalie and Alice excused themselves to go to the ladies room leaving Leon alone with Jack.
“Listen. I want you to go stand near the bar and have a couple drinks while I talk to your wife and Alice. Oh. Don’t come back until I give you a signal. Is that clear?”
Jack began to stand up and walked out of the booth as Leon yelled. “Hey. Thank you for the double treat!”
Alice and Natalie had returned and had slipped into the booth on either side of Leon. Leon was very gifted when it came to women and he knew it. Neither of the two wives appeared to be concerned about where Jack had disappeared to.
Jack stood next to the bar and ordered a drink and by the time the bartender got around to handing him what he ordered and turned around, Leon was out dancing on the floor with Natalie in his arms. They were dancing to a slow song and Jack noticed Leon’s hands were holding onto her waist with his fingers touching the top of her ass.
Jack could see Leon Whispering in Natalie’s ear as he held the attractive wife very close to his huge body. Natalie was talking back to Leon as he spoke to her and they seemed to be in discussion about something as Natalie was moving her fingers as if she were explaining something to Leon.
Leon was moving Natalie toward the corner of the dance floor as they continued to talk. Natalie’s body was leaning out as she held onto Leon’s large arms so she could look in his eyes as he spoke. Leon suddenly leaned forward and gave Natalie a little peck on her cheek.
Jack’s heart began beating faster as he took a long swig of his drink and kept watching his wife with Leon. Natalie was looking into Leon’s eyes now as he spoke to her and suddenly leaned forward again and kissed her on the lips this time. It was a short kiss but it was on her lips!
Natalie appeared to be saying something to Lean as he leaned forward again and captured Natalie’s lips again and held the kiss a few seconds longer. Jack was so busy watching them kiss that he didn’t notice that Lean had moved his large hands onto Natalie’s ass and was holding her tight.
They were in a very deep conversation now as Natalie seemed to be explaining something to Leon again. Leon tilted his head and gave Natalie another long kiss on her lips. Natalie appeared to be kissing him back this time. Jack took another long sip of his drink as the song ended and looked back and got startled when he saw Leon standing in front of him.
“Where in the fuck did you disappear too? Get your ass back to the table and sit with your wife while I dance with Alice. Oh. Don’t get too cozy because I want you to excuse yourself again when I get back.”
Jack almost spilled his drink. He was shaking so badly. He was acting like a total wimp with Leon. What else could he possibly do? He owed this guy twenty-five thousand dollars and he didn’t want to get hurt. He new Leon had a reputation of doing great bodily harm to people that owed him money.
Jack walked back to the table behind Leon and waited for Leon to take Alice onto the dance floor and scooted into the booth next to Natalie.
“Honey. I saw you kissing Leon out there on the dance floor. What was that all about?”
“Jack. You told me to be real nice to your friend. He was telling me about his best friend getting killed over in Iraq and I felt sorry for him.”
“Natalie. Feeling sorry for him is one thing but letting him kiss you and put his hands on your ass!”
“Jack. Listen to me! I don’t think Leon meant any harm by doing that. He was only looking for a little comfort from someone. Stop reading into everything you see.”
They glanced on the dance floor and saw Alice dancing with Leon. It was a fast song and she seemed to be enjoying herself.
It seemed to Jack that Leon was trying to gain her trust. He wondered what Leon had planned and decided to bring up Alice to her.
“Natalie. It looks like Leon and Alice are getting along just fine. Why don’t we go home and let Leon take her home?”
“Jack. Have you gone completely out of your mind? I don’t know what’s wrong with you but will you stop trying to act like a jealous husband and just enjoy the evening?”
