Proper Salute

MVP was not wearing his fullest Dom warrior aura. If anything, his stance was polite and somewhat submissive. Or so it felt.

He bowed in a very reverent way and produced, with the hand he had behind his back, a document that he extended towards me.

“Please, sir, it would honor me greatly if you took my wife’s transcript. Do with it as you wish. I have full faith and trust in your executive decisions.”

Not sure how to respond, I took the document. I thanked him for his kindness. Watching his retreat made me feel as if he was posturing that I was more alpha than he. Of course, that was not the case. Couldn’t be the case. This was my ego getting things very twisted.

Clearing my throat, I checked my ego in place. The man was just showing me the proper salute to signal the trust that was being given to me about this document. I was in his house. His turf. I was his guest. The way I had asked his blessings to ask his lady permission had registered and impressed him. That was all. Respect was recognizing respect.

Ignoring the upbringing I had, I opted not to look at the transcript. It was neatly nestled in a nice dossier. It was my opinion, more like gut feeling, that if I had opened it to look at it… it would appear as if I doubted his word that the transcript was in fact the transcript I had asked for.

I secured it immediately in my attache and bowed in respect while vowing to do the document great justice on my blog. The smile on his face was electric. He was beaming and the room was feeling the heat. MVP swiveled and hastily exited out of yet another secret door. I couldn’t help but wonder about how many of those he had built into the place.

Security approached me and offered to assist me to my car. They wanted to make sure I had the safest of passage at this late hour in this rough neighborhood. I took their invitation gracefully knowing full well this was one on the safest neighborhoods for this time of night.

Once on my way, I started to review the events that took place. It became clear that this was not only a special day but that I was in the presence of a Dom who hid his true identity very well. The majority of his fans didn’t know he was a Dom. Nor was it any of their business either.

What intrigued me the most was how quickly I had picked up a lot of the small and subtle signals that were given. In all truth, these were so subtle that most people outside the lifestyle would have totally missed them.

Having had this look into a brief moment in the life of MVP changed my understanding of what MVP was trying to achieve. I had been asked along the ride because he’s trying to make an impact on his audience. Many of them don’t get the subtle nuances of being a gentleman. Many of the compliments and questions that had swirled around him and his entourage suggested that there was a curiosity about how he led his tribe.

Without a crystal ball, there is no knowing what the future holds. Will I get another invite to be backstage at one of his events? Who knows. What I do know is this, that transcript is special to him and to me.

Once home, I looked over the content of the transcript. She had skipped over a few passages. Those passages would have tipped off the audience at large about the true nature of their personal private relationship. The depth of wisdom in the words made my spine shiver. She was truly in-tune with what makes a man a man. She was admonishing the audience to be real with each other in love to allow romance to blossom. Behind the words, she was warning wannabe men of the dangers of hurting the hearts of those who assumed they were the genuine article.

Very poetic. Very amazing. Very well crafted words.

It is one thing to be a man… but quite something entirely different to be the man. Not everyone man can be the man. But every woman will eventually know who is just a man versus the man she needs to respect. Any man can insist a woman submit but the man will never need to ask, for she will know her place and take it with pride. A man might work with his woman but the man will toil relentlessly to have his lady flourish. It is when she’s beaming like the queen she is that his honor and glory has value and valor. For in a woman, the man can emerge… which is different from birth… when a man greets the world. Only those who understand the two way nature of submission will truly catch the virtues of these words.

P.S. Thank you MVP for giving me the transcript. Thank you Mrs. MVP for the well penned words. Until we meet again, it was an honor and privilege to have broken bread with you behind your awesome stage. For those who know MVP… you know he’s really MVP. 😉
