Part One Goldfinger

Chapter One

For twenty-one year old Trixie Belden, this was the happiest she had ever been. Tomorrow was her twenty-second birthday and she was engaged to the man of her dreams. She would be graduating from college this week. Jim had his doctorate and she would have her bachelors.

Their plans were going so smoothly that she was holding her breath at the wonder of it all. She had been offered a position at the NYPD doing criminal profiling. Something that she knew she could do with her double major in criminal justice and psychology. The training was going to really help her when she and her best friend, Honey Wheeler opened their own agency. Honey had majored in forensic science and was going to work in that department at NYPD. Even their other best friend, Diana Lynch, was going to be doing some as needed work as a sketch artist for the NYPD. Although she wasn't as involved with the agency as the other girls she loved getting involved with all their cases.

When she and Jim became engaged on Valentine's Day, they decided to have an early June wedding. Sighing, Trixie knew she could wait no longer for the man she loved. She remembered the night he had asked her to marry him.

Trixie's heart fluttered at the sight of Jim that night. His green eyes were full of passion when she met him at the door. No matter how many kisses they shared, they knew they would never be fully satisfied until they had more. She was beginning to doubt if her decision to wait was going to last. Evidently, Jim did too as he had a special night planned for her.

He had taken her to a small intimate restaurant where he knew they would have privacy.

"God, Trixie you are so beautiful," he said as he took both of her hands in his. "I want to hold you like I would never let you go."

"Jim, please promise me you will never let me go," she said with the longing of a lover waiting to be loved."

"You and I are forever bound." He looked at her and then drew her into a passionate kiss, caressing her cheek and running his hands through her curls.

"Trixie, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life loving you. Will you marry me?" Jim had released her but kept her close to him as he asked.

"Oh, Jim, I want nothing more than to be your wife. YES." This time their kisses held the promise of something else. The passion they felt was going to soon be fulfilled.

The ringing phone jolted Trixie from her sleepy daydreams.

"Hi sweetie, happy birthday," Jim smiled through the phone. "Or should I say sleepy?"

"Ha, ha, how did I end up engaged to a morning person?" Trixie joked back to him.

"How's things down at the farm?" he asked in a very pleasant and teasing voice.

She was staying with her family this weekend and celebrating her birthday one day early since it was on a Monday. Her moms had planned a cookout for the whole Bob-White gang.

"Well, we definitely need a dishwasher," she laughed. "I think you could do the job."

"Since we can't have the birthday girl getting dishpan hands, I think that could be arranged. I do need for you to make sure I am doing a good job," he added with sexual undertones.

"You always do," she whispered with a catch in her voice. Just the sound of his teasing made her heart pound. "And if you do a good job you'll get a reward later."

"Grrrr," was his reply. "Those dishes will be spotless."

"See you, sweetie," she laughed as she hung up the phone.

"Good morning, Princess," Peter Belden said as he kissed his daughters cheek. "The birthday girl has finally arrived."

"Hah," her almost twin, Mart grunted. "Don't expect to be waited on hand and foot, dear."

"I'll remember that next month on your birthday." She smacked his had away from her plate. "Keep it up big boy and there will be no birthday cake for you today."

Brian, her eldest brother, laughed and shook his head. He knew that they loved each other dearly but the war between the two of them was constant and ongoing.

"What will it be, Trixie? Pancakes, eggs, or muffins?" grinned Brian. He knew the mention of food would stop Mart in his tracks.

"Hurry and decide, Squaw," Mart joked. "I'm a starving boy, you know."

The happy banter between the siblings continued all morning.

At the Manor House, Jim and his sister, Honey, were enjoying a breakfast with their own parents. Although it was more formal than the Belden's, both Honey and Jim enjoyed quite a few laughs with their parents. They were now discussing the topic of the year, Jim and Trixie's wedding.

"You know, Jim, you could work at my firm until you find a good teaching position," his father told him. "That way it would give you and Trixie time to settle in."

"I'll think about it, Dad," Jim replied. Jim was anxious to get some real teaching experience. He knew it would come in handy when he opened his own boy's school.

Honey grinned at her brother. She knew he didn't want to tell their father no. It wasn't really funny but she enjoyed seeing Jim squirm.

Jim's mother placed her hand on his. "It would only be until you found a position that would be beneficial for both you and Trixie. You'll have her to think about as well."

"I know, Mother," Jim sighed. He knew Trixie wouldn't care if he cleaned streets but he did want to make her proud of him. "The financial experience would be helpful."

"Well, you would be someone I could definitely trust," Mathew Wheeler looked hopefully at his young son. "And you could still live in the city for a while."

"That would be nice," admitted Honey. She was looking forward to working in the same department with Trixie. She had missed her friend terribly while she was gone away from the rest of them during college. "I was so glad she transferred here for her last year. I felt like part of me was gone while you were away."

"What about me?" smiled Jim.

"Of course, big brother," Honey laughed, "but I can't have an all night giggle and gab session with you like I can Trixie and Di."

"I get the feeling that those are going to continue even after we are married."

"Don't worry. I'll see that Trixie makes it home for breakfast or you can stay here in your old room just down the hall if Mother doesn't mind us all crashing the place for the night," she looked questioning her mother.

Her mom's eyes twinkled, "I think that would be perfectly perfect."

Their dad had a big smile on his face. "Seriously, you two, you know any of the Bob-Whites are welcome here at any time. And Trixie has always felt like another daughter to us. Don't let any of them ever forget how much we love them."

"Jim!" Trixie called out as she saw her fiancé walking up the steps to Crabapple Farm, "I've missed you."

Jim grabbed her in a big hug and settled her down on the step above him. After kissing her soundly on her lips, Jim buried his face in her curls, "Soon, shamus, soon."

Trixie was taking in the scent of Jim's cologne when she heard her brother Mart calling.

"Okay, lovebirds, it is time to partake of delicious victuals. I would like to have my appetite intact if you don't mind."

Di giggled and came up from behind him. Putting her arms around his waist, she laughed, "How come it doesn't destroy your appetite when we make out?'

Mart reddened. "That is a totally different matter. When it is my sister, ewwww."

Mr. and Mrs. Belden smiled happily as all seven of the Bob-Whites piled into the backyard.

"Here, Brian, I'm going to put you in charge of the cookout today," Mr. Belden told him as he handed him the spatula, "I've decided to take it easy for a change."

Brian grinned at his friends, "Maybe now we can get food before Mart eats it all."

While the others teased Mart, Jim pulled Trixie over to the side to talk with her. "Dad asked me something today, Trix."

"Is he still on to you to work for him?" she asked.

"Yeah, but the more I think about it the more it is starting to make sense."

"But Jim, I thought you were dead set on teaching."

"That's still my main goal, but I think learning about all the financial management is going to be important. I don't want to trust someone else to take care of my school without knowing anything."

Trixie nodded and grinned, "So my future husband is going to be a mover and a shaker, huh?"

Jim grinned back, "I'll soon show you about moving and shaking, Miss Belden."

Trixie gasped at the thoughts that were running through her head. Her face blushing, she said, "I can't wait for you to show me everything."

Jim just laughed and pulled her close, "It will just have to wait. I have a meeting with Wheeler Enterprises tomorrow morning."
