“Please don’t go, stay a while,” Suzanne pleaded.2

“I can’t stay Suzanne, I’m actually on vacation with a friend of mine and Bruce will be here in a little while.”3

“Please Angie, I’m begging you,” Suzanne went down on one knee and pleaded.4

“Even if I do stay, I still have to sort a few things out first.”5

“Like what?”6

“Like the car keys for one, and then there’s Chanette.”7

“Chanette?” Suzanne asked sounding almost jealous.8

“My friend, the one that I am vacationing with. She’s still at the resort.”9

“So you know where the phone is, sort it out.” Suzanne sat there pouting.10

Angie got up and went to the phone, first she called housekeeping and arranged to have someone collect the car keys and leave them, with a message for Bruce at the reception. 11

She then called Chanette.12

“Hi Shanz, how are you?”13

“Still asleep. Where are you?”14

“It’s a long story. Listen sweetie, would you be offended if I don’t come back to the resort straight away?”15

“What’s up Angie?”16

“I can’t talk right now. If you want to stay longer, go ahead, otherwise call Edward and leave when you want.”17

“What have you gone and gotten yourself into?”18

“Nothing that you wouldn’t like to be in.”19

“Angie you are incorrigible. Is Bruce there?”20

“No. I managed to ditch him last night and take off with his car.”21

“Oh my God, Angie you’ll be lucky if he doesn’t charge you with theft.”22

“Trust me, he won’t. Listen sweetheart, I’ve got to go, I’ll call you when I can.”23

“Whatever. Bye.”24

Angie has still holding onto the receiver when she felt Suzanne’s lips on her neck. She could feel Suzanne’s body against her back. Lifting her arms into the air, Suzanne ran hers down their length turning Angie around as she did so. Finally their lips met each other’s with a demand that neither could resist. It was as if Angie was kissing and being kissed for the first time in her life. It had been a long time since Angie had felt such pure passion with anyone, and she got the same impression from Suzanne. Suzanne tugged at the towel around Angie’s body, and let it fall to the floor. She clasped Angie’s hand and guided her to the bedroom. Suzanne knelt on the bed and pulled Angie towards her, placing her right hand behind Angie’s head, while the other one was positioned in the small of her back, their lips just touching. The temperature rising. 25

Angie embraced Suzanne closing the gap between them. Suzanne fell backwards onto the bed dragging Angie down on top of her. She could feel the heat of Angie’s naked body through her own clothing. 26

Locating Suzanne’s lips with her own and kissing her hungrily; she began to undress Suzanne, first her top, stopping shortly to caress her perky breasts. Moving lower she removed her shorts. Suzanne wiggled to the head of the bed and sat with her back against the headboard. Angie climbed onto Suzanne’s legs, when she reached her knees, she edged them apart with her hand and placed her lips on the cool flesh of Suzanne’s thigh. Suzanne parted her legs totally, granting Angie access to her pulsating wetness. Suzanne whimpered expectantly as Angie crawled between her legs. Angie placed kisses all the way up Suzanne’s thighs, planting the tip of her tongue on Suzanne’s clit before submerging it inside her throbbing cunt. Suzanne grabbed Angie’s head and pulled her into herself as if to bury Angie’s head inside of her. 27

She pulled Angie so vigorously her teeth ground against the softness of her pouting pussy lips. Suzanne let out an unexpected shriek as her cum juices squirted into Angie’s mouth and all over her face. Suzanne climbed over Angie’s head and licked the small of Angie’s back. Angie tried to turn around, but Suzanne held her down, “Oh no you don’t,” she whispered, drawing a line with her tongue into the crack of Angie’s arse. Angie immediately opened her legs giving Suzanne a rather interesting, upside-down view of her snatch. Suzanne continued to kiss and lick between Angie’s legs, occasionally nibbling the soft flesh. Angie could not keep still. Suzanne climbed off her back and knelt over Angie’s one leg and inserted two fingers deep into Angie’s love tunnel. Angie lifted her arse slightly and placed her own hand between her legs. Suzanne placed another two fingers into Angie. Angie began to rock against Suzanne’s hand. Suzanne kneaded Angie’s arse with her free hand teasing her as she did so. Angie lifted herself onto all fours and grabbed Suzanne’s hand pushing it as deep into her as she could get it. Suzanne retracted her fingers, only to insert all five fingers into Angie, riding Angie’s leg as she did so. Both women were breathing heavily, and groaning in unison. Angie could feel the stirrings of a major orgasm deep in her stomach, she rode Suzanne’s hand with increased vigour until exploding into a multitude of orgasms and collapsing on the bed. Suzanne lay down next to her and drifted off to sleep.28

“Wake up sleepy head,” Angie nudged Suzanne.29

“Huh? What? How long was I asleep?”30

“Not long, now wakeup, you are definitely not going to sleep now.”31

“Why not?” Suzanne wanted to know.32

“Because you didn’t want me to sleep earlier, so you can not sleep now!”33

“So what have you got in mind?” Suzanne asked with a naughty grin on her face.34

“How about something to eat for starters, and then something to cover the body with.”35

“Have you not just eaten?”36

“I mean food, I’m starved.”37

“Room service alright?”38

“That would be great, which just leaves the clothing thing.”39

Suzanne picked up the phone and dialled, “Hello room service please, . . . . . yes please, . . . . . please send two English breakfast’s with an extra side order of French fries to the Penthouse. Thank you.” Suzanne looked over to Angie who was still sitting on the bed with nothing on. “Oh shit, I forgot, the closet is in there, grab something to wear.”40

“Tell me Suzanne, what do you do when you aren’t getting picked up at carnivals?” Angie asked as she dropped an oversized shirt over her naked body.41

“As little as possible. I jet set between here, Milan, New York, and of course my villa in Spain.”42

“Okay, so what do you do other than as little as possible?”43

“Nothing, I’m one of the original spoiled rich kids.”44

“Sounds familiar.”45

“Meaning what exactly?” Suzanne asked.46

“Same story, different chapter!”47

“Taking you comment into consideration, I take it we come from similar backgrounds?”48

“You got it girl.”49

There was a knock on the door followed by the words, “Room Service.” 50

Suzanne jumped up, pulled on her robe and opened the door letting the waitress wheel in the food cart.51

“You can push it onto the veranda thank you.”52

“Certainly,” responded the little waitress in a whisper. The cart was wheeled onto the veranda and the waitress disappeared as quickly and quietly as she had appeared. They made their way to the veranda and began to devour the feast that was laid out in front of them.53

“Have you had enough?” Suzanne asked.54

“Yes thanks,” Angie mumbled as she swallowed a mouthful of food.55

“Coffee?”56

Angie nodded in acceptance.57

“What have you got planned for the day?” Suzanne asked eventually, after what seemed an eternity of silence.58

“Why?”59

“Because I feel like going out,”60

“Out? Where?”61

“Walking around. There are some stunning shops hidden away around town.”62

“As long as I can get something to wear, I don’t think the cat suit is appropriate.”63

“What cat suit?”64

“The one I had on at the carnival.”65

“Sweetie, when I, we picked each other up, you were not wearing a cat suit.”66

“WHAT?” Angie yelped.67

“You weren’t wearing a cat suit, you only had a jacket on.”68

“What jacket?”69

“That one over there,” Suzanne pointed to long bright green jacket with purple hearts printed on.70

“Now I’m more confused than ever. When Bruce and I got to the carnival, I was wearing a black cat suit and he was dressed like a mouse. Now you are telling me that somewhere along the line, I exchanged the cat suit for that ridiculous thing?” Angie was on the verge of bursting into tears.71

“I wouldn’t stress so much about it if I were you. Lots of people exchange costumes at the carnival.”72

“It’s not that, I just don’t like the feeling of not knowing what happened to me for however long.”73

“Okay, let’s see if we can fill in the gaps. Do you remember what time you got there?”74

“Somewhere after eight, I think.”75

“We met up at eleven. Now we have to find out what happened between from the time you got there till eleven. See it’s not that bad.”76

“You don’t understand, it is that bad. I can’t afford to lose time, not again,” Angie’s eyes filled with tears.77

“What happened?”78

“I was in an accident,” Angie had hardly said the words and collapsed into a crying heap. Suzanne put her arm around her shoulder to comfort her.79

“Shh, it’s alright, we’ll find out what happened, I promise.”80

Angie nodded and slowly began to tell Suzanne about the events leading up to the accident. 81

- 32 -82

The phone rang. “Hello . . . Yes hold on please, Angie it’s for you,” Suzanne handed Angie the receiver.83

She took the phone and speaking into the mouthpiece, “Hello. . . Hi Bruce. . . The keys are at reception. . . No. . . Okay, don’t flip out, I’ll be there now.”84

“What’s wrong?” Suzanne asked.85

“Bruce is in the lobby and is adamant he wants to see me.”86

“Would you like me to come down with you?” Suzanne asked.87

“I’d appreciate it,” Angie replied so softly Suzanne barely heard a word.88

“I think we had better get dressed, people may object to us walking around like this,” Suzanne said as she pulled Angie by the hand and walked towards the closet. 89

“Here this should fit you,” she gave Angie a dress to put on while she climbed into hot shorts and three quarter T-shirt. They made their way to the lobby, and Bruce.90

“Hello Bruce,” Angie mumbled behind him.91

“Angie,” was all he said.92

Angie could see that Bruce was not impressed. “Bruce, this is Suzanne. Suzanne, Bruce,” Angie introduced them.93

“Pleased to meet you,” Suzanne said ever so sweetly.94

“Unfortunately, the feeling’s not mutual,” he replied venomously.95

“Did you get your keys?” Angie asked awkwardly.96

“Yes I got my keys. What the hell possessed you to steal my car? I almost had you arrested!”97

“I didn’t steal your car, I didn’t even know I had the car. In fact I don’t remember much of last night.”98

“I hope that will teach you not to run around the streets.”99

“She was running around the streets?” Suzanne asked amused.100

“Not that it is any of your bloody business, but yes running around the streets.”101

“Excuse me, but before World War three erupts right here and now, can we please go and sit somewhere, I’m feeling faint again.” Angie cut in before Suzanne and Bruce started yelling at each other.102

“The lounge is right over there, we can go and have some coffee, or tea.” Suzanne motioned.103

“Fuck the lounge, I want a stiff drink!” Bruce blurted out.104

“Okay, follow me.”105

Bruce and Angie followed Suzanne through the lobby down passage, and through a door stating Member’s Only, into a cosy private bar. She was handed a deep red drink as they sat down, “Being in the penthouse has certain advantages,” she commented snidely. “What would you like to drink?” she asked them.106

“Double scotch on the rocks,” Bruce answered.107

Suzanne looked at Angie, “And you?”108

“Bloody Mary please,” she replied.109

“Another one of these please,” she told the waiter. “A woman after my own heart!” She added.110

“You could have at least let me know what you were up to last night. I was worried sick about you!” Bruce said through gritted teeth.111

“I told you earlier, I don’t remember anything about last night.”112

“Are you being serious?”113

“Yes. Why would I lie to you?”114

“I don’t know? For personal gain,” he said insultingly looking over to Suzanne.115

“Fuck you Bruce, and your car, and what ever you gave me to drink last night. Which by the way is the last thing I remember.”116

“You are being serious,” Bruce’s attitude changed when he realised that Angie was telling the truth.117

“How many more times are you gonna say that? It’s getting a bit stale now,” Suzanne had to add her thoughts to the conversation.118

“Butt out Lady, this is between Angie and me,” Bruce warned coldly.119

“Angie, I’ll see you upstairs. I really don’t have to take this kind of abuse from some fuck arse who thinks he’s God’s gift to the universe!” Suzanne stood up.120

“Suzanne, please sit down.” Angie pleaded, turning to Bruce she warned, “You watch what you say and how you speak or there will be hell to pay. I know more than enough to land you in deep shit at the resort so don’t piss me off!’121

Bruce went pale and nodded, Suzanne sat down.122

“Now I want to know what the fuck happened last night and I want to know NOW! No more sarcasm. No more temper tantrums and no more fucking sulking.” Angie was hysterical but her voice came out in a squeaky whisper.123

“I know that we got to the carnival after eight,” Angie said looking at Bruce.124

“It was actually eight-seventeen, I looked at the clock before getting out,” Bruce started filling in the gaps.125

“Thank you, then what happened?”126

“We walked up to the carnival, I don’t think we could have gotten there later than about eight-forty-five,” he continued.127

“Then what happened?” Angie sounded like a stuck record.128

“We had a drink on our way there.”129

“Okay stop! What did we drink?”130

“I gave you my vial, you had a swig and mellowed out.”131

“That is my last memory, now I want to know two things. Firstly what the fuck was in that vial, and secondly what happened after that.”132

“The answer to your first question is simple. It’s something I manufacture at the resort. The second question may be a little harder to answer.”133

“Why?”134

“Because after pulling me into an alley and throwing up, you pulled a disappearing trick on me.”135

“Lovely,” Suzanne mumbled. Angie gave her a look sending cold shivers down her spine shutting her up.136

“And then what happened Bruce?” Angie asked getting irritated.137

“I don’t know, you ran off somewhere. I thought I saw you on a float muffing some blonde, but it wasn’t you, she had a shocking green jacket on.”138

“Bingo!” Suzanne shouted, “I can fill in the rest if you want.”139

“In a sec Suzanne, I have one more question for Brucy here,” she said. 140

“With what exactly do you manufacture your moonshine with?”141

“That’s a trade secret,” Bruce answered.142

“Bruce, I am warning you, don’t piss me off, I’m not a very forgiving woman. Now what do you use?”143

“Potatoes, onions, rum and rosewater for aroma. What’s it to you anyway?”144

“Besides the fact that I could have died, nothing much. I’m allergic to rosewater, and that would explain why I can’t remember much.” 145

Bruce kept dead quiet.146

Turning to Suzanne, “Now you can fill in what you know, and hopefully my life can return to normal.”147

“You climbed onto the float with the bird in the Green jacket, I was walking next to it, and that’s when I first saw you.”148

“At what time?” Angie pushed for an answer.149

“Ten-ish, I was watching the blonde. The float pulled away and by the time I caught up, you were, as lover boy here put it, muffing some blonde. I originally had my eye on her.”150

“So you were watching me, but wanted the blonde?”151

“Yeah. But when I saw how much the blonde was enjoying herself, I knew I wanted you.”152

“How long were you watching?”153

“Until you fell off the float and into my arms. After that we came back here.”154

“Thank you very much. At least I know what happened to me, the only thing I still can’t figure out is what the hell happened to the cat suit. It’s not even mine.”155

“We can go and look at the second hand shops in lower town, chances are it will end up there,” Suzanne suggested.156

“That would probably be the best bet,” Bruce finally chipped in, ”and now I think I am going to go.” He downed the last of his drink, got up and walked out.157

“He has to be the moodiest man I have ever met,” Suzanne mentioned.158

“He’s not moody, he’s hurt.”159

“There’s a difference?”160

“Are you always so bitchy when you meet someone for the first time?”161

“Only moody, hurt men.”162

“Let me guess, you don’t like men?”163

“No, I have never found a use for them, besides, whatever a man can do trust me a woman can do so much better.”164

“You sound exactly like Shanz.”165

“Shanz?”166

“Chanette, my girlfriend at the resort.”167

“Girlfriend as in Girlfriend - lover, or female friend?”168

“Both, we’ve known each other almost all our lives.”169

“What’s she like?”170

“Why don’t you come see for yourself? We can go the second hand shops and then head for the resort,” Angie proposed.171

“Why not invite her to join us she can help us look.”172

“I can give it a try, but I can’t promise anything.”173

“Try and see, if she comes through great, if she doesn’t come, no worries, you will.”174

“Promises, promises, hey Suzanne?”175

“Oh yes, and I intend keeping them, right to the bitter end.”176

- 33 -177

Chanette was led to the table where Suzanne and Angie were waiting for her. “Suzanne, Chanette,” Angie introduced. 178

“Now that we all know each other, can we please order something to drink?”179

The waiter appeared and took their order.180

“Angie you have to tell me what happened last night.”181

“Shanz, it’s a long and not a very pretty story. I’d much rather hear about your evening with Caitlin.”182

Suzanne sat back and watched the scene unfold between the two friends.183

“Without sounding bitchy, or sarcastic, are you going to just forget about me sitting here?” she asked.184

“No of course not my angel, we’ve just got a little catching up to do.”185

“In that case, please excuse me for a couple of minutes. While you two catch up, I’ll be powdering my nose,” Suzanne stood up and strolled towards the restrooms.186

“Tell me what happened after I left,” Angie asked impatiently.187

“After the two of you left, Caitlin convinced me to go swimming with her, in the staff’s private pool. Did you know there was a private pool for the staff?”188

“No. Carry on.”189

“Picture this, we’re swimming quite innocently.”190

“Innocently? Shanz there isn’t an innocent bone in your body!’ Angie teased.191

“Screw you. Anyway, we were behaving ourselves, we even had costumes on.”192

“Are you sure it isn’t going to snow?”193

“Angie stop it, and listen. We were swimming and having fun just like a couple of schoolgirls, when suddenly I hear a noise. When I looked up I swear, some of the female staff were standing along the edge of the pool, each holding a bottle of champagne and wearing nothing. Understand?”194

“Uh-huh.”195

“So now Caitlin dives under water, comes up under me and pulls my costume off.”196

“Let me guess you were horrified, the shame of it.”197

“I was a little shocked at first, . . .”198

“For what a whole two seconds?” Angie had to tease Chanette.199

“As I was saying, I was a little shocked, but you know me I adapt to just about anything.”200

“Mmm, I know.”201

“Getting back to my story. We were all naked me, Caitlin and about six other women, just having good clean fun.”202

“Good clean fun? The only way I can see it being clean was the fact that you were in water.”203

“Perhaps.”204

“Shanz, is that all I’m going to get out of you?”205

“For now. Don’t you thing you should check on you new friend? She’s been gone awfully long.”206

“I suppose. Coming?”207

“Coming or cuming?”208

“Whichever you prefer. And what do you think of her?” Angie inquired.209

“Not bad, not bad at all.”210

“I thought you may say that.”211

When they entered the restroom they didn’t see Suzanne they did however hear groaning from behind the wall. Chanette peered around the wall only to be confronted by Suzanne’s masturbating reflection in the mirror in front of her. Suzanne had dropped her shorts and was sitting on basin stand facing the mirror, with the faucet running. The water was trickling over her clit and splashing in the basin. 212

“Need any help?” Chanette whispered in her ear as she put her arms through Suzanne’s and settled them on her wet thighs. Suzanne leant back against Chanette, turned her head slightly and kissed her full on the mouth. 213

That was all the invitation Chanette needed. Without any hesitation Chanette lifted Suzanne’s T-shit over her voluptuous tits and stimulated them rubbing the palm of her hand over Suzanne’s hard nipples. Lowering one hand she slowly and systematically manipulated Suzanne’s hot spot. Angie stepped around the corner and almost walked straight into Chanette, “Can I join or is this a private affair?” 214

Neither woman answered her. 215

“I’ll take the silence a yes,” she murmured whilst unbuttoning Chanette’s Levi’s and letting them drop to the floor. Chanette lifted one leg at that, letting the pants pipe slip off them revealing her perfect naked arse. Angie sat on the floor between Chanette’s legs, Chanette’s pussy was in line with Angie’s hungry mouth. Angie gripped Chanette’s arse with her hands, Angie stuck her tongue out just in time to lick the first droplet of wetness that dripped from Chanette’s curly pubic hair. 216

As Chanette felt Angie’s tongue touch her lower lips, she in turn slipped a finger into Suzanne’s cunt. Suzanne opened the tap fully letting the water sting her clit as it escaped the pressurised chamber. She took Chanette’s hand and guided another finger into herself. Chanette opened her legs as much as she could as if to do the splits over Angie’s face. Angie had her thumb buried deep inside Chanette’s tunnel and her index finger in butt, licking and sucking Chanette’s clit at the same time. Angie had pulled up the dress she was wearing and began massaging her own clit vigorously. Suzanne moved so that the cold steel of the faucet pressed against her throbbing clit. Groaning with pleasure she gripped Chanette’s hand and thrust herself against the tap coming with the flow of the water. Swivelling on the counter she turned around and ripped open Chanette’s shirt, sucking and biting her nipples exciting them like never before. 217

Angie began to wriggle on the floor between Chanette’s legs. Suzanne balanced on the edge of the basin counter, she held Chanette as close to her as possible giving Angie two wet throbbing cunts to play with. 218

Angie managed to lick both of them at the same time, starting at Chanette’s arse moving over her clit, switching over to Suzanne’s clit and ending at her arse, she then repeated the process back. Chanette began to wriggle as her orgasm built up, she rubbed herself against Angie’s face, bumping against Suzanne’s pelvic bone. Angie plucked at her own clit as if it were a miniature cock, groaning as she did so. 219

Chanette grabbed Angie and rammed herself hard against her face. Angie managed to open her mouth enough to catch Chanette’s squirting cum juice. Suzanne hopped off the counter and climbed between Angie’s already spread legs. She pulled out a baby vibrator from the pocket of her shorts. She sat just below Angie’s crotch and pulled Chanette’s closer to her. She switched the vibrator on and placed it on Angie’s clit at the same time she pulled Chanette closer and sucked the left over juiced from her pulsing cunt. Angie was bouncing up and down, wriggling and groaning until she finally exploded into a culmination of orgasms. When Chanette opened her eyes, there was a little old lady watching them. She turned around and exited the restroom without a sound. When they returned to their table, they caught a glimpse of the old lady whispering into an elderly gent’s ear, and shaking her head.220

“Suzanne my love, I hate to break up an awesome happy threesome, but I really think we need to find those shops.”221

“Sure thing. Let me get my wheels and I’ll meet you in front.”222

All three ladies stood up, Suzanne went in one direction as Angie and Chanette made their way through the hotel to wait for Suzanne in front. Suzanne pulled up in the driveway in a bottle green Jaguar, "Hop in girls.”223

- 34 -224

“Now this is comfort,” Angie said as she climbed into the back seat, making sure that Chanette sat in front.225

“I’ll say,” agreed Chanette. They drove around to all the second hand clothes shops Suzanne could find with no luck of finding the cat outfit, they were directed to another shop on the opposite end of the town where they eventually located the outfit. It seemed to be intact except for the tail, which was hanging by a thread and the tip seemed burnt. 226

“I should be able to mend this without a problem, before giving it back to Caitlin,” Angie said looking at the tattered tail.227

“I would also suggest sending it for dry cleaning, there seem to be cum stains down the leg,” Suzanne noted.228

“Eeuw,” Chanette squealed. “That’s disgusting. I hope you weren’t in it when that happened,” she said turning and looking at Angie.229

“That makes two of us. Is Caitlin expecting you back or what is happening?”230

“I don’t know? She didn’t say anything, and I didn’t volunteer,” Chanette answered.231

“Do you two feel like going back to the resort, or are you keen to stay in the penthouse with me for a couple of days?”232

“We’re due to book out tomorrow, so either way it doesn’t matter. Shanz, how do you feel?”233

“I really don’t mind what we do. We just need clean clothing please.”234

“Then it’s settled. We’ll go past the resort, you both collect your things and come back with me.” Suzanne made their minds up for them as she raced off in the direction of the resort. 235

Angie heard Suzanne and Chanette giggling in the front of the car as she fell asleep on the back seat. “Angie, we’re here,” Chanette called out to her.236

Angie opened her eyes and looked around. Feeling grumpy from the sleep she kept quiet and got out the car. 237

“I’d like the keys for my chalet,” she asked the receptionist. The receptionist complied with Angie’s request. “And I’ll be checking out this evening, please finalise my account,” she said as she walked away. By the time Angie had reached the chalet, Chanette and Suzanne were waiting for her giggling and laughing like two schoolgirls. Angie unlocked the chalet and walked straight to the bedroom, on the pillow was a single white rose with a note attached to it, it read:238

‘I’m so sorry that I missed you,239

I’ll see you soon,240

All my love.241

“Who’s that from?” Chanette asked Angie as she entered the room “Bruce?”242

“I don’t know, I just found it.”243

“Why don’t you call him and find out?”244

“How am I supposed to call him if no-one here knows who he is?”245

“You can always go to the restaurant and order out!”246

“Or I can just get hold of Caitlin,” Angie schemed.247

Suzanne sat quietly in the lounge and waited for them to finish packing so they could leave. Angie picked up the phone and dialled Caitlin’s extension.248

“Caitlin Speaking Hello.”249

“Hi Caitlin, its Angie. I need to find out something,” she started.250

“Sure thing what’s up?”251

“Did Bruce come into the chalet while I wasn’t here?”252

“Not that I know of why?”253

“Because there was a white rose on my pillow with a note attached, unsigned.”254

“No, that definitely wasn’t Bruce, If he wants to make an impression, he’s the kind to leave a dozen red roses and he’ll sign the card.”255

“Are you sure it wasn’t him.”256

“As sure as I can be, I’ve spent most of the day with him since he came back from seeing you.”257

“Oh, and what kind of mood is he in?”258

“A really, really bad one, he’s on the war path with everyone.”259

“Oops.”260

“Don’t worry about it, he’ll get over it. He should really know better than get involved with the guests!”261

Angie felt hurt at Caitlin’s comment.262

“Well it should be easier, Shanz and I are booking out tonight. Thanks for everything Caitlin. Oh before I forget, I handed the cat suit in for dry cleaning.”263

“Thanks Angie, but it wasn’t necessary. I was planning on selling it to a costume shop anyway.”264

“Bitch!” Angie spat out once she replaced the receiver. “Shanz are you ready to blow this joint?”265

“Yip.”266

“Let’s go. Suzanne, please will you take my bags and I’ll get you at the car. I need to go and settle the account, and make one last phone call.”267

“Okay.” Suzanne said.268

Angie phoned Edward and gave him the address of the Opal Crescent hotel before making her way back to the reception.269

“Have you sorted out my account? I’m checking out.”270

The receptionist printed the account out and handed it to Angie, “Here you are ma’am, I hope you enjoyed your stay.”271

Angie took the page from her and looked it over, “Excuse me, why is there a nil balance on this?”272

“You’ll have to ask Ms. Caitlin about that ma’am.”273

“Can you please get her on the line for me?”274

“Of course ma’am, hold on a moment please,” the over polite receptionist said as she dialled Caitlin’s number. “Evening Ms. Caitlin, sorry to disturb you, there is a patron in reception who would like to talk to you about her account. . . . Yes Ms. Caitlin. . . . Of course. . . . Thank you.” Looking up at Angie, the receptionist said, “Ms. Caitlin is on her way down, please take a seat.”275

Angie sat in the luxurious reception and waited for Caitlin to make her entrance.276

“Angie,” Angie cringed at the sound of Bruce’s voice behind her.277

“Bruce,” she answered politely.278

“Cat informed me that you are leaving, can I ask why?”279

“This is what I do Bruce, I come and go as I please, I don’t stay in one place very long.”280

“I see, I was hoping you would take me up on my offer and come stay with me.”281

“Bruce, I told you I couldn’t. I thank you for a lovely evening the other night, and an interesting one last night, but it’s time to move on.”282

“If that is how you feel. Can I call you sometime?”283

“You have my number. I want to find out why my account is sitting at a nil balance?” She asked.284

“It’s a present from Me to you.”285

“Oh another thing, did you leave a rose in my chalet earlier?”286

“No, I’m not the flower type person. Why?”287

“Because there was a white rose on my pillow when I got into the chalet.”288

“Nope it wasn’t me. I hope you come back soon.”289

“We’ll see,” Angie said as she walked out and went to where Chanette and Suzanne were waiting for her. 290

- 35 -291

“Are we set to paint the town pink girls?” Angie asked climbing into the back of the Jaguar.292

“Sure are,” Suzanne replied, “hold on to your horses. We’re going to fly!” Suzanne put her foot flat on the accelerator and spun the wheels as she raced out the parking lot. When they reached the centre of town Suzanne asked, “Do you feel like dancing?”293

“I do,” Chanette answered. “Angie how about you?”294

“Uh-huh, not really, I’m still trying to recover from my rosewater overdose last night.”295

“Your what?” Chanette asked.296

“My rose water overdose.”297

“What is she going on about? She’s allergic to rose water.” Chanette asked Suzanne.298

“Bruce gave her moonshine, laced with rose water last night.”299

“Oh my God, Angie why didn’t you tell me?”300

“Because I know how worried you get, and if I had told you, you would have wanted to kill Bruce.”301

“Damn Right!”302

“Shanz it’s over now, and anyway he didn’t know. It’s not as if I go around telling everyone I meet I’m allergic to rose water.”303

“Perhaps you should wear one of those bracelets,” Suzanne suggested.304

“She had one, she tossed it away after about two days because everyone was teasing her.” Chanette told her.305

“Angie are you sure you don’t want to come with us? Please change your mind,” Suzanne pleaded.306

“I’m really not up to it, you guys go ahead, I’ll head back to the hotel.”307

“You’ll head nowhere, we’ll all go back to the hotel. Shanz and I will change into something more appropriate and you can stay and chill. How’s that sound to you Angie?”308

“Great, thanks,” she replied.309

They arrived at the hotel shortly thereafter and made their way to the penthouse. Chanette and Suzanne were fussing over what to wear, while Angie made herself comfortable on the settee and switched the television on. “Suzanne,” she called.310

“Yes,” Suzanne called from the bedroom.311

“Can I make a call, I need to check in with my answering service.”312

“Of course you can, you know where the phone is.”313

“Thanks,” she called back and made her way to the phone.314

“Hello this is Dennis. How may I help you?”315

“Hi Dennis, this is Angie Erickson, I would like to get my messages please.”316

“Sure Ms. Erickson. There are three messages; the first is from Mr Stavros Stamatia, he needs to speak to you urgently. The second message is from Jimmy Stamatia, please call him when you can, and the third message is also from Mr. Stamatia.”317

“Junior or senior?”318

“Senior Ma’am.”319

“Thank you Dennis.”320

“It’s a pleasure Ms. Erickson.”321

“Are you two decent? I’m coming in,” Angie said as she entered the bedroom, they were nowhere to be seen. Angie picked up her bag retrieved her phone book and dialled Jimmy’s number.322

“Hello,” came Jimmy’s voice down the receiver.323

“Hello Jimmy, it’s your mother speaking,” Angie sounded very official saying it out loud.324

“Hi mamma, how are you? Did you have a safe trip home?”325

“Yes my boy. I got a message that you were looking for me. What’s up?”326

“I need to find out if it’s still okay to come stay with you.”327

“I said it would be fine, when are you planning on coming?” she asked.328

“My plane lands day after tomorrow at ten in the evening.”329

“Jimmy, why did you ask if you already booked your ticket and are due to land day after tomorrow?”330

“Just to make sure it’s still okay with you, and also to tell you that I’m bringing Grandad’s trunk with me.”331

“Sometimes you are seriously too much. Why are you bringing that old thing with?” she asked.332

“Because Stavros has been threatening to open it, and I’ve managed to put him off so far, I can’t guarantee that he won’t go snooping when I come home to you.”333

“I’ll kill the bastard! Listen sweetheart, do you have any idea why your father is looking for me?”334

“He wants to persuade you not to let me come over and live with you. We had a major argument about it the other night.”335

“What is his problem, besides the fact that he is male!?”336

“Mom! I’m also a male remember?”337

”The difference is you are my son. So I suppose I must come and fetch you from the Airport?”338

“I would appreciate that considering the last time I was there was about twelve years ago!” he reminded her.339

“Okay Jimmy, I get the picture! See you in a couple of days.”340

“See you mamma, oh, before I forget, are you going to phone my father?”341

“No! See you Jimmy, good-bye.”342

“Bye.”343

“Who were you speaking to?” Chanette asked as she wandered into the room.344

“Jimmy,” she answered.345

“Jimmy? Oh Jimmy!” She suddenly recalled who Jimmy was.346

“Who’s jimmy?” Suzanne asked catching the end of the conversation.347

Chanette looked at Angie, who in turn shrugged her shoulders. 348

“Her son,” Chanette confessed.349

“You have a son?” Suzanne was shocked.350

“Yes I have a seventeen year old son, there I said it,” she admitted.351

“Seventeen? You don’t look old enough to have any kids, let alone one so old,” Suzanne stated. “How old were you when you had him? Ten?”352

“Don’t get carried away, I have a son, and no I wasn’t ten! Are you two still going out or not?”353

“Of course we are, do you think I’m going to get dressed like this for the fun of it?” Suzanne shot.354

“I don’t know what you do in your spare time! Do you think you can wait a couple of minutes and I’ll join you,” Angie ventured.355
