We had an excellent meal accompanied by some pleasant conversation on trivial topics; however, as soon as the food had been removed, Claudius got down...to business. I showed him my estimate of the cost of cleaning up the city with my pigs, and he was impressed at the detail in the report. The only thing he questioned was my request for 8,000 aureii annually for my bill. Claudius insisted that I had not covered all of my expenses properly, and "suggested" that I up my bid to 10,000 aureii. I looked around and could not find Brinda and I asked him “where is your mother” he answered saying “she is changing in the bedroom”. While my heart raced to see her getting dressed I decided to be a good guy and refrained from anything like that and sat on the sofa talking with him. After a few minutes the bedroom door opened and my gorgeous princess walked out dressed in a shiny pink silk sari. My jaw just dropped in awe of the beauty I was seeing standing in front of me when she interrupted. Shawn couldn't help but smile and watch his woman shine in the mirror. She was beyond beautiful and he knew just how much potential his woman's beauty had. That is exactly why he didn't want her leaving the house, especially not with Chelsey.****************************************"Damn, its 9 pm already? I was supposed to have been left by now," Chelsey said as she rushed on her lips stick. She stood up and adjusted her stockings then slid on her short, leopard printed skirt. She walked over. ”“Okay, folks. I’ll tell it—but only on my terms. First, my wife tells it much better, so I need her to be with me. Second, I’ll only tell it over drinks and some decent food. If you are all available, say, Friday afternoon, we’ll meet at our place for drinks, then some good steak and grilled veggies. My wife will be home, and we can leisurely tell our tale.”They all agreed, and we set the time. Pat offered to bring Gloria since she didn’t drive, and the plans were in motion.We chatted about.
