The Never-Ending Buffet

                Chapter 13

Saturday morning and I realized that while I had gone to bed with
one woman, there was now another one on my other side. I tried to
determine the identity without showing that I was awake. By the
size of the body, I could tell that it had to be Mika, Sharon, or
Amy. I couldn’t feel tits against my side, so that eliminated
Amy. Cracking my eyelids revealed straight black hair on my
chest, so it had to be Mika. I wonder what brought my Korean
sweetheart over this morning?

Biological necessity beckoned, so I tried to get up without
disturbing my company. As I slowly sat up, I discovered that what
I had thought to be Leimomi to my right, was in fact Amy. Both
women were playing possum, and my movement was enough to bring
them up to give me a hug.

“Where do you think you are going hero? You are going to have
help for everything today.”

“I need to pee, Mika. I think that I can do that on my own. I was
just stabbed in the arm, I don’t need help.”

“Whether you need it or not, you are getting help. Do you want to
aim Amy, or can I?”

“You go ahead Mika; I’ll help him get dressed. Jenny should be
here by now and I can smell coffee. Go on and get ready for the
day Walter, I think that you will find it to be a very
interesting one.”

Some women seem to find the voiding necessities for men to be
extremely interesting. Of course I find theirs interesting as
well, but enough of that. Peeing with a beautiful woman holding
onto your dick is fun, messy, but fun. After Mika sent me to Amy,
and Amy helped me get dressed, it was out to the dining area for
breakfast. Everyone was there, including the kids, and I had all
I could do to make it to the table for all the hugs and kisses I
got. Seeing everyone in one place impressed upon me just how much
my life had changed; and I had Jennifer to thank for it all. This
was one big, mostly happy, family.

I looked around and saw Dexter standing near the patio door
holding Jennifer’s hand. I waved him over to me, and I could see
the trepidation on his and Jennifer’s faces.

“Are you doing okay Dex? Having any trouble coping with the
violence?”

“You mean at the apartment, or when mom found out that I let you
get hurt?”

“You had my back son, and that meant a lot. Juan would probably
have gotten the gun back and shot me if you hadn’t been there.
Hell, the dumb son of a bitch tried it with the police there.
I’ll clear it with Sharon. What I meant was what happened at the
apartment. Violence and death like that can cause the strongest
people to have problems. I want you to get help if you need it,
don’t think that it is being unmanly to ask, you get it if you
need it; understand?”

“Yeah, I do. I’m okay with it right now. Knowing that you saved
Jennifer makes everything good to me. She might need some help,
but mom is working with her. I want you to know that she stayed
with me in my room last night. She didn’t want to be alone.
Nothing happened though, we just slept.”

“You don’t have to tell me things like that Dexter. Jennifer is
an adult and I don’t own her. I was hoping that she would find
someone more her age. I didn’t expect it to be you, but I would
have a hard time saying that I disapproved. I think that you
would do very well for her; and her for you. It may be awkward
for all of us, but I hope that we can get beyond that. Good luck
son, I wish you the best.”

“That’s twice you have called me son, Walter. I like that. My dad
was a pretty good guy, but so are you and I would be proud to be
considered like a son to you. Carl would be too.”

“Thank you Dexter. I think that you might want to send Jennifer
over to talk with me a bit, and let her know that I am not in any
way upset or angry, she looks nervous.”

“Will do.”

It was strange to be having this conversation here. I was at the
head of the table and had Mika and Amy on either side of me.
Beside them was Melissa with the baby, and Mary and Leimomi were
at the other end of the table. Everyone was talking to each
other, and trying to look like they were ignoring my conversation
with Dexter. I could see from the sideways looks I got that they
were indeed paying rapt attention to my doings. I smiled at the
ones I could see looking at me, then signaled to Sharon to come
on over. She and Jennifer arrived at the same time.

“You need to lighten up on Dexter Sharon. He was right behind me
and kept Juan from blowing my testosterone-fried brains out. Let
him know that he did good and give him a hug. The boy deserves
it.”

“Okay Walter, you win. I’m just so glad that you are all right,
my nerves were talking last night, not my sense.” She gave me a
quick kiss and went over to her son.

“Are you okay Jennifer? Do you need to get some help?”

“I think I’ll be fine Walter. There is no way I can ever thank
you for saving me from that asshole. I’ll never have to deal with
him again. I can’t believe that I thought that I loved him. I
should probably feel remorse, but it isn’t there.”

“Be sure you ask for help if you need it dear. There should be
someone at the hospital you can talk to. You had quite a fright
there. Let Dexter and Sharon help dear, they both care for you.”

“You aren’t upset that I stayed with Dex last night Walter?”

“Not at all Jen. I was hoping that you would find a good young
man, and Dexter certainly fits the bill. He is intelligent and
hard working. I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ll miss having your
tight young body beside me, but it is not as if I am going to be
left alone here. If you do have feelings for him I want you to
explore them without worrying about me.”

Jennifer gave me a big hug and a very nice, but not intense,
kiss. It was bittersweet to know that I had, indeed, lost her;
but I knew that she would be much better off with Dexter. He
could give her a permanence that I could not.

I was sitting there musing, when I realized that it was almost
silent in the house. I looked up and realized that all eyes were
on me. I decided that it was time to establish some dominance.

“Since I already have everyone’s attention, I have a couple of
things to say. Number one, I am not an invalid. The asshole just
stabbed me in the arm; he did not do that much damage. By the
way, does anyone know what they did with my mallet? I want it
back; you never know when I might need it again. Number two; I
was supposed to meet Amy at the skating rink last night, so she
goes along with whoever else is with me tonight and tomorrow.
Tonight is the Paramount Theater in Burlington, they are doing
Peter Pan and I got 4 tickets; tomorrow is bowling. It’s your
choice Amy. Any questions?”

Sharon spoke up. “You already asked me to the theater with you
tonight, didn’t you Walter?”

“Yes I did. Did anyone else want to go?”

“I would like to Walter, if that is okay,” said Mary

“How about you, Amy; do you want to go with us?”

“I’ll latch on to the bowling Walter. You don’t have to do this
you know. We can make up the roller rink date anytime.”

“We will dear, but I missed a night with you, and that is not to
be allowed. I cherish every bit of time I spend with each of
you.” The looks I got for that statement ranged from shock to
total adoration.

“I would like to go to the theater Walter, but I also like to
bowl. Is that okay?”

“Of course it is Mika, I am happy for any of you to go with me
anywhere you want to. I’ll give you all fair warning; next
Saturday is dancing at the Ramada again. I enjoyed the hell out
of that last time.”

And that is how it went. My life was suddenly occupied with the 6
wounded birds I took care of. The girls kept looking for help for
me, but all of the guys they found just wanted pussy with no
strings. A couple were even married and lied about it. I had at
least two dates with up to 3 women every week. Once a month we
all met at Mika’s or Leimomi’s for a hot tub or pool party until
the weather got bad, then we would have a pot luck dinner at
whoever’s house was willing to host.

There were no problems with the police or from Julio and Juan’s
families. Julio’s death was ruled an accident, and Juan got 3
years for assault, and 6 more for having an unregistered weapon,
and intent to do harm to an officer of the law. His truck was
sold to pay for Jennifer’s TV and some of the back child support
to Carla. His sons left the area and wanted nothing to do with
their mother, to Carla’s great regret and sorrow.

Dexter and Jennifer got married after 3 months. They matched
surprisingly well. They would join us for some of the parties,
along with Carl Jr. and Bernice. Joshua began working in the
summer at Sharon’s, and after being exposed to me for a while,
Melissa began dating him. I still have some doubts about him, but
she hasn’t sent him to me for lessons yet. That is a discussion
that I am really looking forward to. He and Melissa are going to
classes at Guilford Community College. His brother got a job in
Indiana after his college days ended. Carmelita and Brandy were
both down state at Duke.

Jessica Marie was a delightful baby and loved all 6 of her
grandmothers.

I don’t know how long this is going to last, but at this point my
doctor says that as long as my prostate gets as much exercise as
it has been, I shouldn’t need the blue pills very often. I have
company in my bed 3 or 4 nights a week. Sometimes one of the
ladies will come by just to cuddle and sleep. Amy and I joined
RUSH and she has lost most of her cellulite, and Leimomi and
Carla have also trimmed up from all the walking and other
activities we do. My love handles are getting hard to hold by
now.

I’ve gone to part-time working with Sharon and Dexter, and soon I
get to officially retire with Social Security. My life is full of
joy and stuffed with love. That’s quite a change for the guy who
was sitting in front of Target, watching girls through
binoculars.
