  Sins of the Past

  Sadie Ann Jennings had a great deal of time these days to reflect on her past. How she longed to return to her days as captain of the varsity cheerleaders, football team’s best girl (yes, one player was not enough to satisfy her appetite), homecoming and prom queen, and so forth. Sadie Ann ruled her world and the world of those at Jefferson High School. Who cared that she barely made it to graduation? Her senior math teacher, along with a couple others, was all too easily swayed by the favors Sadie Ann offered to get that C average. She was after all eighteen years old and an adult – that was how she convinced them that it was really okay. Sadie Ann relished in the power she held over each of them after their encounters. None of them were smart enough to realize they all were Sadie’s prey.

  Sadie Ann still kept her long luscious curls dyed a honey blond to accent her blue eyes. She fought those dark roots like wildfire. Her natural nearly black hair color made her face look older and more tired. Toiling day in and day out at the smoke-filled diner along with the passing years were quickly becoming the enemy if she planned to snag a sugar daddy to take her away from this hellhole. Her sapphire blue eyes shone a bit duller if you had known her for a while, but otherwise, she could fool most any man between seven and seventy if need be. Each day before her shift here at the diner, Sadie Ann still went through the same aerobics workout she had done for as long as she could remember, even before she understood how powerful a narrow waist and heart-shaped ass really were.

  To this day nearly five years after leaving high school, she was certain she would be able to have Mr. Johnson, her once biology teacher. He stopped by the diner at least three times a week for coffee and always near the end of her shift with his leaving her a ten dollar tip and an invitation for a ride home. Too bad he was married now, or Sadie Ann might take him up on his offers. Sadie Ann was tired of waiting tables and would much rather earn her keep warming his bed, but only being his wife would allow her to maintain that luxury. Sadie Ann might not have book smarts, but she understood her talents and how to make them work for her.

  Sadie Ann had always turned down such offers to be the other woman. She didn’t want to appear as desperate as she was readily becoming. Sadie Ann decided just last week that she needed to get out of this nothing town. If only one of those offers were for a real relationship, she wouldn’t be wiping up tables and flirting with every half-decent looking trucker that walked through those diner doors. In reality, Sadie Ann wanted to be swept off her aching feet and leave her mama alone to run the family’s diner. She was tired of being tired at only twenty-two years old. Since college wasn’t an option for Sadie Ann, her mother depended on Sadie Ann at the diner. Sadie Ann’s waiting table meant more money for the cash strapped Jennings. She longed for the easy days before her daddy died …

  Sadie Ann did not appreciate everyone’s attention though. In high school, and even still, not everyone understood their place. The black boys on the football team often tried to grab her ass or feel her tits and still did now when they stopped in for lunch or on the way home from the mill. Not that she didn’t appreciate the larger bulges at their crotch and wonder what it would be like to fuck at least one of them, but Sadie Ann was brought up right. Even after seeing Leroy Edens with his dick hanging nearly to his knees in the locker room after their senior homecoming game, Sadie Ann couldn’t bring herself to go against her upbringing. No black man would be getting what she was giving. But since that night so many years ago, she often found herself imagining his dick that was nearly a foot long soft like engorged with blood pulsing in anticipation of fucking her lily white ass.

  Leroy was a conundrum for Sadie Ann since she had known him longer than anyone else outside her family. Leroy’s mama was the Jennings maid when Sadie Ann was really small so she and Leroy grew up side by side. They actually played together nearly every day until kindergarten. Sadie Ann understood the place in society for the help, but Leroy had no such understanding. She can still remember the day he came running up to her on the playground excited to see a familiar face at school. Sadie Ann pretended she didn’t know him and laughed with her friends as they left Leroy standing by the slide confused.

  When Sadie Ann’s daddy died while she was in junior high school, the Jennings family kept up pretenses but soon had to let their help go. Leroy’s mama was the last to go, but nonetheless was an expense they could no longer afford. Foolish Leroy thought since his mama was no longer employed by the Jennings that he and Sadie Ann could openly be friends. He made several attempts to approach Sadie Ann at school before she had to get her brother Jeffrey to make Leroy understand to leave her alone. Jeffrey was carrying around a good bit of anger after his father’s death and took all that out on poor Leroy. After that Leroy steered clear of Sadie Ann but still could be found staring at her with a longing in his eyes.

  A couple of years later and the week before senior prom, Sadie Ann found herself without a date having broken up with Matt Adamson, the football team’s All-Region quarterback. Knowing she could not show up alone, Sadie Ann set out on the quest to find a date to outshine Matt. She pondered for hours until she decided on the unthinkable. She would get Leroy to ask her … Leroy Edens was an All-State running back with a full ride to State University, not to mention valedictorian for the senior class.

  Leroy would be prom king without a doubt, and Sadie Ann was a guarantee for queen so they would be the perfect pair. Just a few hints to her closest friends were the charm and Leroy broke up with his girlfriend of nearly two years to ask Sadie Ann to the prom.

  Leroy thought Sadie Ann finally came around to understand black and white didn’t matter and that the two of them were made for one another. He showed up with a simple corsage for Sadie Ann only to find Matt Adamson posing for pictures with Sadie Ann. She simply laughed and told Leroy that Matt called the night before and begged her to go to prom with him. She half-heartedly offered to call Leroy’s ex-girlfriend but never so much as neared a phone.

  Instead of heading to the prom, Leroy headed home and promised himself that he would never again be Sadie Ann Jennings’ fool. He would one day show her what a bitch she was and get his revenge. In the meantime, Leroy Edens set out to make the best of every opportunity life offered. In the years since graduation, Leroy played impeccable football while earning his business degree. Instead of heading to graduate school following graduation, Leroy was taking a professional football contract.

  Back Home

  Leroy Edens was always quietly succeeding in life with little or no recognition by anyone other than his mama. He was the first black valedictorian in Jefferson High School’s history, and the first football player to go to State University on a full scholarship. Therefore, no one should have been surprised when Leroy was drafted to professional football. Perh
aps it was the nearly one million dollar contract that got everyone’s attention back home because during all of his previous trips home no one seemed to care.

  Yet in two days, Leroy would be the grand marshal of the Memorial Day parade, making history once again in this little redneck town by being the first black man asked to fill that position. Leroy would not have agreed but for his sweet mama. He watched all those years as she toiled to make a way for Leroy and his three siblings. Leroy’s daddy died in a logging accident when Leroy was just a baby. Nonetheless, Leroy’s visit would be a short one as he would be leaving for camp in two days and had lots to settle before that time. The most important of the details involved the purchase of the Jennings family home. The home had been for sale for nearly two years with no offers. When Leroy’s manager made a cash offer for less than half of the asking price, Leroy was pleased to learn Mrs. Jennings jumped at it. Remaining anonymous until the sale was complete was only part of Leroy’s plan.

  Leroy planned to buy and close the old diner as well to hopefully leaving Mrs. Jennings and Sadie Ann with no choice but to see employment in their former home as the help. What sweet revenge that would be for Leroy!

  Mrs. Edens had long cautioned Leroy not to be consumed by his need for vengeance. She had no idea the gift she would be receiving soon. Just last night as they were catching up, she told him that the Jennings place sold with the family moving into the rear of the diner until they found somewhere else. She lamented over this misfortune that had befallen her former employer reminding Leroy just how good his mama truly was. Rumors were rampant about town as to who would be the new lady on the hill as many had often referred to Mrs. Jennings in years past. Leroy could barely keep himself from spilling his secret, but he wanted to present the home to his mother after the parade tomorrow.

  Sleeping in after his late arrival, Leroy awakened to an empty house. A note on the kitchen table informed him that his mother and sister were off to neighboring LaFayette to pick up Mrs. Edens’new dress for tomorrow’s parade. Leroy smiled at the idea of his mother splurging on a new dress instead of reworking an old one as she nearly always did. Feeling the rumbling deep in his belly, Leroy decided to make a visit to the Jennings and the diner. He wanted to see if they were still as uppity now that they were practically homeless.

  Donning an oversized hoodie and basketball shorts, Leroy slipped behind the wheel of his daddy’s old pickup. His mama refused to sell this truck, even when the family could have used the money over and over. Thankful for his mother’s devotion, Leroy pulled the old jalopy onto the street and headed to breakfast.

  The Plot Thickens

  Leory entered the diner and took a seat in the rear booth. This place hadn’t changed on bit in the last four years. He actually started to feel a little remorse at the amount he had authorized his managed to offer for this diner, making a mental note to amend the amount as soon as he met with him again.

  Thinking he would never be served, Leroy was preparing to leave when Sadie Ann started his way.

  “Sorry for your wait, but we are crazy busy with the parade and all tomorrow. You would think the President of the United States was coming instead of some old football wannabe,” she droned on never looking up as she flipped through her receipt book.

  “Wannabe football player? I wager others might disagree given that Edens’ signing bonus is more than most in this town will earn in a decade!” answered Leroy feeling his anger grow. How could he have ever thought he loved this stupid bitch?

  Recognizing the voice of the speaker at once, Sadie Ann snapped her head up to look at the man sitting in the booth.

  “Oh, my god! Leroy Edens … I never expected you would stop by to visit with us. Mama will be so surprised,” Sadie Ann said turning to go find her mother.

  Catching Sadie Ann’s wrist, Leroy softly whispered, “I didn’t come here to see your mama, Sadie Ann, and I don’t want everyone in this damned diner asking for autographs.”

  Deciding on an additional pathway for his vengeance, Leroy used his thumb to caress Sadie Ann’s wrist as he continued, “I was hoping to see you and maybe arrange to spend some time with you later today before all the chaos starts. I won’t be in town but a couple of days before heading off to camp.”

  Sadie Ann’s mind began to race. Could it be that Leroy Edens was the escape she had been hoping for? Did he possible still have feelings for her that she could rekindle? Sadie Ann knew her mama would forgive Leroy’s being black given the now sizeable bank account he possessed. If Sadie Ann played her cards right in the next few moments, she might even get to feel the power in that magnificent dick she had long imagined.

  “Me? You came here to see me?” questioned Sadie Ann attempting humility but failing miserably.

  Understanding Sadie Ann’s arrogance was simmering just beneath the surface, Leroy answered, “Sadie Ann … I couldn’t come back home without seeing you. I was even hoping things might have changed somehow. You know I have always cared for you …”

  Never one to miss an opportunity, Sadie Ann quickly took Leroy’s order and sashayed away. Returning with his coffee, Leroy noted the adjustments to her uniform. The skirt was considerable shorter and at least one more button was undone. Sadie Ann took her time leaning over to give Leroy a clear view of her nearly perfect breasts as she placed his utensils on the table. The view she provided as she dropped her book leaving the table caused his crotch to quicken. That heart-shaped ass was just as beautiful as he remembered. Too bad, Sadie Ann was such a bitch, or he might actually consider taking her out of this godforsaken town. Nonetheless, he would enjoy teaching her a lesson in humility.

  The peep show continued for the entirety of his visit. Sadie Ann made no mention of his presence to anyone else in the diner. He knew this was not so much for him as for her. Announcing his being there would only elicit competition for Sadie Ann, and Leroy remembered that Sadie Ann never did like opposition. As he prepared to pay his tab, Leroy decided on a hundred dollar tip to seal his offer.

  True to his expectations, Sadie Ann scratched her phone number along with the time she would be finishing up her shift on the receipt.

  Retribution at Last

  Instead of taking his daddy’s old jalopy, Leroy rented a late model sports car knowing he would have to remind Sadie Ann what could be if she were his girl. When he called the diner to set up their date, Sadie Ann, ever the hypocrite, asked Leroy to wait for her a couple of blocks down the street from the diner. Following each of her instructions, Leroy played along knowing he would be the victor this night.

  About five minutes later than agreed upon, Sadie Ann Jennings appeared. Outlined by Leroy’s headlights, Sadie Ann ironically appeared angelic with the light encircling her. The lights also shone right through her cotton dress leaving little for Leroy to imagine and once more causing his dick to respond. Nearly fifteen years of affection coupled with overlapping years of wrath was a strange mix of emotions, but one that stirred Leroy deep in his core. He vowed to himself that he was going to more than enjoy this evening. Leroy would leave this white whore useless for all those who followed him as none would be able to match his virility. She would spend the rest of her life trying to recreate their coupling. Yes, Leroy planned to leave her with the longing he had endured since they day he came to believe he loved Sadie Ann Jennings and suffered her multiple maltreatments.

  As Leroy reached to open his door and then open Sadie Ann’s door, she instead quickly entered the car. Leroy watched as she took in all of the expensive details of the vehicle. Only then, did Leroy apologize for the rental telling Sadie Ann that she deserved to ride in a much richer car. Sadie Ann smiled, placed her hand on Leroy’s thigh, and kissed him softly on the neck while ever so slightly rubbing her breasts against his arm. The smell of her signature honeysuckle perfume filled his nostrils as he turned to take her mouth.

  Leroy pulled Sadie Ann towards him and covered her mouth with his own. Massaging her lips with his and tracing her lower lip with
the tip of his tongue, he waited for her to open. Sure enough, Sadie Ann gasped in delight allowing Leroy to plunge his tongue deep into her mouth. Sadie Ann met his tongue stroke for stroke. Moving her hand ever so slowly upward, she began to massage his muscled thigh. Leroy took her breasts into his hands and began kneading them as his mouth continued its onslaught.

  Sadie Ann moaned into his ear as he trailed kisses down her neck. By now, her hand had found his ever growing dick encased in his jeans. Reaching for his belt, Leroy stopped her as he withdrew from his kisses.

  “Not so fast, Sadie Ann. I have waited years for you and am in no hurry. We have all night together, and I plan to take my time with you.” Taking her hand from his crotch, he kissed it gently before shifting the car into reverse.

  “So, what all do you have planned for this evening?” purred Sadie Ann feeling confident her ability to make any man eat right out of her hand.

  Offering no reply other than a wicked smile, Leroy revved the engine as he shifted into gear and sped down the side street towards downtown. He intended to start their journey down memory lane at Jefferson High School. A visit to his old football coach this afternoon assured the couple would have access to the locker rooms and field. Leroy had managed to lift Coach Bibbons keys from his desk while he recalled his glory days coaching the first professional athlete to ever call this town home.

  Pulling into the school parking lot and circling around back, Leroy turned to Sadie Ann.

  “How long has it been since you have come back here? I didn’t ever plan on coming back, but I couldn’t think of a better place to start our evening.”

  Sadie Ann actually blushed as she recalled her favorite locker room memory. Could Leroy know she had seen him that night after the game? She was looking for Matt but instead found the team all gone but Leroy. She didn’t announce herself and stayed for some minutes watching Leroy as he showered and then dressed. Sadie Ann was certain her invasion of his privacy had gone unnoticed, but now she wasn’t so sure.
