Chapter 49
Asher understood all at the same time and agreed “For sure I want a good summer for the both of us, and if you change your mind about anything let me know. Either way I’m here for you and hope we become good friends either way” he said before hugging me. Sebastian was close enough to hear the whole conversation and I knew by just the look on his face he was not happy. I gave him the twitch of my eye telling him to calm down and knew that was one thing I was going to have to nip in the bud real, quick. He was not my man but my bodyguard 1st and foremost. The tour was fantastic with stops along the way for the Haley, Brian, Brendon, and Sharene to shop if they wanted along with my friends and me. The next stop we had made before going back towards the tour house was the chocolate factory that I had not yet toured that I wanted to get to do. “Ok I’m for surely going in here because I need something sweet real, bad and yes, I’m doing it. Sebastian…. Looks like this is where you come in so instead of carrying me like a child in your arms how about giving me a ride on your back instead?” I asked with amusement at the thought that they both sounded like childish things.
Nicholas stepped up next to Sebastian who was almost as tall and almost bigger thanks to weightlifting and wrestling. “UMMM excuse me what does he have that I don’t? I used to be that guy for you….” he said with a pout reminding me of the times we used to give each other piggy-back rides before I introduced him to Jose and before he transferred from public school to private. I gave in with the pout and let Nicholas take over and Sebastian backed right up even though it would cost him his strength in keeping things reined in as he was doing so tightly already. I felt bad for both men since I was a bit taller than them both, but it did not seem to affect either one of them. “Alright so what was that for? Because I know you are not stupid and know that you heard me late last night and know it was Sebastian. Which you better be quiet about for my sake if anything else because I trust him and don’t want to have to break in another one…. Ha and not the way you are thinking right now…” I whispered slapping his chest.
Nicholas was grunting with the sting I left behind with my slap and I rubbed it quickly hoping he would not start crying even if he was pretending. Jose was scolding me a second later “Don’t be beating on my man now…. You know he acts all tough in front of people and then at night is all at my side like a hurt puppy needing love…. Ha not that I’m complaining but still I don’t want him to start like the slapping either.” I was happy to be back in the fold with my best friends playing around and joking back and forth needing to feel that connection between us again. Once inside the factory they had the foreman and the manager meet us with carts so that we didn’t have to walk the whole thing and would get to go beyond area’s that most people weren’t all thanks to Asher. We all got to sample some of the greatest chocolates ever made thanks to the company that had started in Europe taking what they learned there and moving around the world to make it even better. “I can’t believe I’ve never had this chocolate before, and I’ve been to Europe so many, times. Even been to different factories, maybe I missed it somewhere in a back alley some place” I said in post orgasmic chocolate high.
The tour had ended all too quickly but made sure not to leave without enough chocolate to last me days. I paid half of what I thought I would be paying thanks to the discount Asher had. We had all had a great time all afternoon playing around joking back and forth and ready for a good meal for lunch especially me. Mrs. Joellene Beckerman was waiting for us along with Jasmine and Jake who had already taken the supplies to the boat. They did not seem to have any other bags nearby. “I’m starving for real food now that I’ve downed like ½ of the chocolate and need the aching to stop…. So what are we doing for lunch?” I asked the group. Asher was naming his favorite spots before Joellen stepped in. “Nope you’re all coming back to the house for a good home cooked meal… not that the restaurants aren’t home cooked or good, but I love feeding people and I don’t see this princess much. Who knows this might be the last time I see her for good, and don’t want either one of us to regret it.” I was a little confused and concerned about the comment Joellene had just made. Making me think maybe she was sick or something and I hoped she would not ever have regrets because I did not. “Aww Mama Jo I’m not ever going to regret this moment or any moments I’ve shared with you. I love when I come and get to see you it is like Christmas every-day when I do. You treat me like family which makes it even better” I said holding her hand as she cupped my face.
Sebastian picked me up and put me inside the tour bus and we all headed to the center of town where Joellene and her husband had their home. It was so perfect, and you could see the entire island and everything on it. Asher took everyone on a tour of the estate while Sebastian and I stayed relaxed in the open dining area with Joellene. We watched her finish up a feast she had been making since the time we arrived. The smell was great speaking to all my senses and caressing my tastebuds that I almost loved better than sex. Not to say that my mother wasn’t a good cook, but she had a different style than Joellene did, and it was like comfort food so good that it could make a sick person healthy. The guys seemed to hang back a bit while us girls sat close together around the island and laughing at Joellene’s jokes that were really dirty and sexual. “Damn this girl has some stories and jokes… love it” Haley confessed as she slapped the countertop and bumped shoulders with Jasmine and Sharene.
Sharene had stayed pretty quiet since we got to the house and just staying engaged and only talking if someone talked to her, which Catherine did a lot of. “Sharene so the guys and Haley were telling us a little about you last night when Mia asked about the crew members back story. Says you’re in school, do dance, do body competitions in Vegas every year and just turned 21 the day you started on the crew. I am kind of in awe of you…. you are like the whole package all wrapped into one. Its’ is a big turn on so I’m sure you have someone back home, right?” Catherine was all up in here business putting her on the spot. I didn’t know why I felt I needed to protect her, but I did. “Hey Cate how about you ask her one question at a time instead of asking so many personal things off the bat?” I suggested.
