James Landis Story Chapter 25




"It's ok. You don't have to say anything. I know I'm not in your league- Mump!" James began then Carolyn was kissing him, hard. She had his face in her hands and her tongue was doing amazing things with his. When she finally pulled back she had a huge grin on her face and happy tears in her eyes.

Oh, James I love you too! You beautiful, silly man! How could you ever get the idea in your head that I wouldn't feel the same way about you?

You're the beautiful one here! You're also so much smarter than I'll ever be! he gasped.

Since when is love an intellectual trait! she smiled at him. Her heart was soaring! He loved her! He thought she was beautiful and smart! She'd received compliments for her intellect by friends and colleagues but she secretly craved compliments for her looks. Her friends were all so beautiful. She felt like the ugly duckling amongst the swans.

But James thought she was beautiful!

"Do- do you think you could stay tonight?" she asked.

"Like a sleep over?" he asked with an innocent look.

She looked at him, surprised then caught the impish smile on his lips.

"You tease!" she gasped and he pulled her tight in a hug that warmed her more than any 'roaring' gas fireplace ever could. He loved her!

The next two days of work were busy for James as Mr. Draco’s had him involved with working with the Klein group on the new development they'd agreed to engage their services for. James hadn't seen Mr. Draco’s so happy before and had to endure a few more cheek pinches.

Wednesday night James got home at 8PM and walked into the kitchen to find Angie sitting with Rose and Grace who leapt up to give him his favorite greeting. Head spinning from her wonderful kiss he followed Grace over to the table and gave Rose and Angie a kiss and sat down with a thump.

Does that man have you jumping through hoops again? Rose asked. She thought Mr. Draco’s was a little too demanding on his favorite employee.

We have another project and the Klein Group is eager to get started. James smiled.

Rose scowled and James smiled at her over protectiveness.

She served dinner which tonight was spaghetti and meat sauce with garlic bread. James sighed with rapture at the scent and kissed Rose's hand after she placed his plate in front of him.

Between bites they learned the reason for Angie's visit. She was invited to New York City to accept a special award for her late husband's contribution to the music industry. Many of the big names from both sides of the music world would be there and it was being held in one of the most elegant venues.

"That's awesome!" James exclaimed.

Angie frowned.

It wasn’t awesome? he asked.

No, it was a big honor but Isabelle was supposed to attend and accept the award for her father. She's come down with the flu so I'll have to go instead. Angie lamented.

"Why don't you want to go?" Grace asked.

The other members of the band are going to be there. I have- there's some history between me and one of the other members, she squirmed.

Can one of them accept the award for him? James suggested.

Angie's eyes flared with anger. Greg would but he'd keep it for himself. He's always considered himself the most important member of the band. Jealous prick!

This is the man you have history with? Rose said carefully.

Angie dropped her eyes in shame and nodded.

Can you tell us what happened? Rose continued softly.

The blond shook her head. Let's leave it at we were young and stupid, drugs were involved, sexual liberties were taken and my marriage was almost destroyed. But Danny's love for me was stronger than I deserved and we survived.

I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do. James said.

Angie smiled at him and looked a little embarrassed. Actually James, that was my reason for coming over. I need to attend to make sure this tribute to my husband is accepted properly. I was wondering if you could attend with me as my date. Greg will leave me alone if I have a date.

Uh, it sounds like a pretty fancy award show. You sure you want me along? James asked.

I definitely want you at my side when I have to face that egotistical asshole! Angie growled. Someone has to be there to keep me from killing him.

James's eyes went wide and he reached out to hold Angie's hand. "You'd go to jail!"

Angie started then looked fondly at James. I'm sorry James I didn't mean to say I would. He makes me angry enough to feel like killing him but I never would.

OK, well... when is this award ceremony?

Not until Saturday. We'd fly up Friday night and return Sunday afternoon, she explained.

"Oh!" James looked at Rose and Grace and both nodded. "I could do that."

Angie's face lit up with a smile and she kissed James's hand. He blushed.

You're going to Miss Dale and Tristan's visit on Saturday but if you don't mind I'll invite them to join us at your place on Christmas day so you can meet them then. Rose said and Angie nodded with a smile. They all returned to enjoying the meal.

As the flight was at 5PM James managed to get out of the office by 2PM on Friday as Mr. Draco’s felt a little guilty about making him work so many late nights.

A second reason for leaving early was that Grace's car was ready for pick up. He'd gotten the call first thing in the morning and arranged to meet Grace at the dealership at 2:30PM. The salesman had James sign the receipt indicating he'd received the vehicle then handed the keys to Grace. She squealed and leapt into James's arms. She drove the sporty little red car back to school to get back to her next class. She left her old car in the University's back parking lot as she was donating the clunker to their physics department who planned on blowing it up. For Science of course!

James rushed home, got changed, grabbed the suitcase Rose packed for him, grabbed Rose for some hot kisses, then drove to Angie's to pick her up. She looked beautiful in her long leather winter jacket with fur trim around the hood. Traffic was light so they made it to the airport with time to spare. Angie had booked them first class so they got to wait in a lounge with free drinks and cookies. She exchanged texts with two of the other wives of the band members and asked James to pose with her for a photo she wanted to share with them. Angie was all grins when she received the responses to the picture.

Soon they were on the plane and James enjoyed the extra wide seat. He refrained from the champagne though. Flying in over the city James's eyes got wider and wider as the city seemed to stretch out to the horizon.

This city is enormous! James turned to Angie to say. She smiled and nodded.

"It's easy to get lost in such a big place so stay close," she teased.

He rolled his eyes with a smile and went back to looking out the window.

As they took a cab to the hotel Angie received a few more text messages from the same ladies she'd sent the picture to. She laughed aloud and turned to James. "Would you mind very much if we had company for dinner tonight?"

"Not at all! This is your weekend." James replied.

Angie kissed his cheek and quickly responded to the funny text. "OK, we are going to walk over to visit Times Square after we check in to our hotel. That's a must see. There's a restaurant close by where we have reservations for dinner with two of my oldest friends. They're wives of two of the band members. Their husbands hate each other so they won't be joining us but Lakshmi and Tajo, are inseparable and wonderful people. James grinned at Angie's excitement.

James caught sight of Times Square as they drove past on their way to the hotel and the lights dazzled him. He was trying not to look like a total country bumpkin for Angie's sake but she didn't seem to mind his appreciation of the visual wonders.

They walked into the hotel and James was impressed with how modern and clean the design was. They got their room and went upstairs to drop off their bags. Angie assured him he was dressed nice enough for the restaurant they were going to. He looked at the single queen sized bed and back at Angie.

Hotel rooms were exceptionally difficult to find on short notice. I hope you don't mind my presumption, she said with a slight grin.

He stepped closer and she looked up into his eyes. Her gorgeous straight white blond hair framed her lovely face, her silver and crystal chandelier earrings catching the light, and his heart jumped a beat. He dipped his face down to hers and gently took her lower lip between his and caressed it. She moaned and pressed her large breasts against his chest. He moaned as well then she gently pushed him back.

"PHEW! Ok, that answers my question! We should get going if we are going to see the lights and get to the restaurant for our reservation on time." She looked at his mouth again and he saw her battling with her desire to kiss him again. He leaned in and she swayed forward. He turned and headed for the door. He smiled as he heard her chuckling at his teasing.

Such a tease, she muttered with a grin when they got into the elevator. As they were alone James suddenly turned and took her mouth in a deep kiss, pressing her against the elevator wall with his large body. She squealed then clung to his coat as she returned his kiss. Her nimble tongue was dancing with his and she began to breathe heavily as the kiss went on. James pulled back as the elevator slowed and led the dazed woman from the lift. She came to her senses just before they left the lobby and went back into the washroom to reapply her lipstick. James wiped his mouth clean with a tissue while he waited. The kiss had his blood pumping but he was also excited about seeing the sights.

Angie returned and wagged a finger at him for being naughty but her eyes were twinkling with happiness.

The walk to Time Square wasn't very long and soon they were standing in the glow of the massive screens and billboards and so many people! James gave up trying to appear cool and sophisticated and just allowed himself to gawk and grin. Angie was enjoying his pure enjoyment but kept an eye on him as well. His attention was obviously elsewhere flagging him as an easy mark.

Once he'd had his fill of the scenery she led him up Broadway to the restaurant. Lakshmi and Tajo were already seated and much squealing ensued when they spotted and jumped up to hug Angie. The blond turned to James.

"Lakshmi, Tajo, I'd like to introduce James Landis. James this is Lakshmi Dumas and Tajo Saxon."

Both women were stunning! Lakshmi had caramel brown skin, with long wavy ebony hair to her mid-back, slim expressive brows over large, almond shaped hazel eyes and a perpetual smile on her lips. She was the slimmer of the two and wore a gorgeous red and gold sari, multiple gold bangles on her wrists which quietly chimed whenever she moved her expressive hands, and dangling gold earrings that almost reached her shoulders.

Tajo had skin the color of rich coffee and a big head of curly black hair that almost reached her shoulders. Three gold hoops, small, medium, and large, hung from each ear but were connected where they met her ear. She was also 'gifted' with large breasts and a curvy ass stylishly clothed in a charcoal silk blouse and black leather pants. Her full, sensual lips gleamed from her black lipstick and she wore a grin as she took in James's dazed look.
