DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter Leon: Conclusion
Leon woke early as per his usual routine despite his head throbbing a bit from all the champagne they had drank the night before. It was worth it though. The girls had the best time and it had made him so happy to see them having fun. They deserved years of fun after the ordeal that they’d lived through for all this time.
With a heartfelt sigh, he stared down at the woman beside him. He felt a rush of excitement to be able to wake up beside her now. He couldn’t imagine life without her again. He couldn’t help but wonder if circumstances had been different would they still feel the same way, but they had picked up right where they’d left off, even after all these years. Speaking of that he thought about something he had kept all these years. Every once in a while he would take it out and look at it, thinking of what never was. What could never be after he’d lost her.
Now… here he was. Here she was. It was downright unbelievable. A true miracle. Turning his head, he found her staring at him. Leon smiled.
Evelyn smiled back.
Then she surprised him by climbing on top of him and kissing him. Her mouth brushed his and when she pressed her lips against his, Leon deepened the kiss. Fire flashed in his veins and rushed through his body heating him up. His cock hardened to almost painful as Evelyn opened her legs and straddled his hips.
Pressing her warm wet core against him Leon slipped into her body. He groaned as she accepted him and they began the age old rhythm of in and out. Neither of them spoke a word but then they didn’t have to, their bodies were talking plenty loud enough.
Sooner than either of them realized, they were going over the edge of reason and splashing down over the top. Evelyn collapsed on Leon’s chest for a moment then moved off to the side.
Leon took a moment to catch his breath then pulled her into a hug. “Now that… well, that is the sun coming up for sure, my dear.”
“It is amazing is what it is. Do you think we are trying to make up for lost years in just mere hours?” She laughed. “We are like teens with raging hormones!”
He laughed with her. “Proves that us older teens can still ride and ride deep.”
Evelyn laughed loudly. “Yes, we can. We know how to be doing it.”
It was such a nerdy line that Leon laughed even louder. He kissed her forehead and rose up.
“Where are you going?” she asked.
“Just wait here. I have something to show you.”
She eyed him up and down in all his naked glory as he stood by the bed. “I think you have shown me quite a bit already.” She wiggled her brows at him.
He chuckled as he shook his head. “Wow, you are my hot woman aren’t you?”
Nodding, she giggled as a rosy blush crept up along her cheeks.
“God woman, you are so lovely. I am a lucky man.” He turned and went over to his large dresser. He opened a drawer and when he saw it, he paused. All the years flashed by, all those long misery filled years that he’d never shared with anyone…not even his son. Nursing a forever broken heart over a woman. Now, he could finally put that misery away. He turned and grabbed his gold silk robe from the hook on the wall and slipped it on. He held his surprise in his hand.
When he came back to the bed, Evelyn raised her brows. “A robe?”
He nodded. “It would not do… to do this while naked, my dear.”
She sat up in bed against the pillows and pulled the sheet up over her bare breasts. “Do what?”
He pulled out the black velvet box that hadn’t aged like he had. It still looked the same as the day he’d bought it—a lifetime ago.
Her eyes rounded as he knelt down and opened the ring box. “I don’t have any pastries.” He smiled. “But I do have something that has been with me every day while you were gone. I kept it as it symbolized you for me.”
Evelyn’s hands began to shake as she raised them to her mouth.
Inside the box was a 24 karat diamond gold ring.
“My dear, sweet Evelyn Rose…” His voice softened. “I have waited for what feels like all my life to show you this ring. I bought it two days before you disappeared from my life.”
Tears streamed down her pinkened face as her breathing picked up.
“I looked at it daily for the first two years you were gone. I thought about my missed chance at happiness with the only woman in the world that I could love. Then through the years, I realized it was true. I never found another that made me feel the way you do.”
Evelyn started to really cry.
“Would you consent to marry me? Be my wife, my partner? Share my home, my life? Will you marry me?”
Evelyn couldn’t seem to speak as she cried so hard.
Leon waited for a long moment.
Evelyn wailed her answer out, “YES! Oh, god…Y-yes!” She fell on top of him over the side of the bed.
Leon landed on his back as his woman crawled over him and kissed his face, his nose, his cheeks and even his chin. “A thousand times…Yes!” She then kissed his lips with such a force that it took both their breaths away.
Tears formed in his eyes as Leon Vincinti broke the breathless kiss and sat up on the floor of his bedroom that had been empty of her for all these years. Quietly and with more reverence than he could ever remember feeling, he slipped the thirty year old ring onto her finger then he held her tightly.
Four Months later, Wachusett Mountain, Massachusetts
The day looked to be bright and sunny.
Up atop Wachusett Mountain where there were 17 miles of trails and northern views of Mount Monadnock, western views of the Berkshires, and eastern views of the Boston skyline. It was a breathtaking spot.
The perfect spot for a picnic. Forested, green and wild. Though today, there were large groups of people here.
To think that so many people and different types of people were all here for a picnic. When they had been invited, yes, many of them thought it was the craziest event they’d ever heard of.
There were blankets strewn everywhere and picnic baskets on every blanket.
There were some people that were dressed to the nines and they still seemed comfortable on the blankets.
Then there were others, dressed casually like one would expect at a picnic. Sun dresses, jeans, t-shirts and some even wore biker vests.
Laughter and voices rang up and down the grassy field. Though no one was eating yet. They all seemed to be waiting for something or someone.
It would look odd to a stranger though that was not invited. However, there weren’t any strangers here. You wouldn’t be able to get anywhere near this mountain on this particular day, unless you were invited.
It wasn’t an annual convention or a company picnic. But it was an event of the century if the truth be told.
Indeed, many would agree that this was a crazy event, but today it did not matter as it was about happiness.
… It was a wedding. Only it wasn’t your average wedding. It was a gathering in the name of happiness long overdue for the people who had waited a very long time for this day to come.
The area suddenly grew silent as music started. It was the Wedding March.
Everyone turned their heads to see the brides.
Yes, two brides with their arms linked. They both wore soft white sundresses, not the lavish wedding gowns most women of their stature and means would wear.
Willow and Evelyn both smiled nervously as they marched toward their futures. Under the bright sun and the cool mountain April air, they both drew closer to their futures. Of course, as they moved closer to the altar, they spotted the men they were to marry.
Leon and Calderone stood waiting for them.
These two men smiled and no, they did not dress casually as you might expect to match their brides. They were dressed impeccably in Italian suits as anyone who knew them, knew they cared very much about their attire. They waited for their women to reach them.
The two brides linked arms with their grooms as all four looked up at the preacher.
The preacher nodded his head as he then recited the vows.
The brides said yes. Then the grooms said yes, as rings were exchanged.
Both couples kissed sweetly.
The preacher looked up and announced, “May I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Vincinti!” He laughed and nodded his head to the younger couple. “And Mr. and Mrs. Vincinti!”
Everyone applauded as they all broke out into laughter.
