Small World

Chapter 2
"...and Juliet"

Terry wa thinking about his meeting at the community kitchen with Candy. He really didn't need to go to the community kitchen, but that one was created by his grandfather, he was going there in his honour. He ate there but he also helped out with the clean-up. The theatre, he liked it a lot. He wished he could do it full time, but the family business needed him... He thought about Candy, about her freckles, her wavy blond hair and her beautiful smile. She was so warm; she made him want to go to the community kitchen every day. But he didn't see her every day, she came two days a week only. She was adorable, should he hit on her? How long has it been since he's been with a woman? Ever since he broke up with his fiancée when his business when awry? She wanted to stay with him, but knowing her, he refused, he broke up with her and she didn't insist. Then he was too preoccupied by his life and how it turned up, that he wasn't thinking about the opposite sex, until Candy… He shouldn't trivialise it, but he didn't want to rush either. He could've seduced her, like he told his friend… but he will get another shot at her…

Candy was a the community kitchen that evening and she saw Terry and she went to sit by his side to say hi.

- Good evening Romeo, she said smiling

- Good evening Miss Freckles

- My name is Candy White

- And I'm Terrence Graham Baker… my friends call me Terry…

- Pleased to meet you, she sais smiling. I'm going to go to the kitchen. See you later…

Terry stayed there and looked at her go. He felt so good with her, he wanted her to stay by his side so he decided to go to the kitchen and help out…

- You don't have to, she said smiling

- We always need a little helping hand…

- As a matter of fact…

They continued talking and they also ate together. At the end they were ready to leave together.

- My friend is coming to pick me up for a drink, you want to come with us?

They were at the door and Annie was waiting for Candy.

- Oh Annie! This is Terry… Terry let me introduce you to my best friend, Annie.

- Romeo? Said Annie smiling, you look even better in person. Pleased to meetyou.

Terry blushed smiling.

- Pleased to meet you, he said.

- I was asking just asking Terry if he would like to come with us to have a drink…

- Oh yes! Say yes! Pleaded Annie

- I'd like to, but I also have to meet a friend at his place for a drink…

- Oh, said Candy disappointed

- Why don't you two come with me? Asked Terry

- At your friend's? Annie asked, it's not going to bother him?

- That I show up at his place with two beautiful women? He's going to be glad! Said Terry smiling

- Very well then, said Candy, let's go!

Annie followed them with hesitation. After all, they didn't know Terry.

- I don't have my car, Annie…

- I don't have my car either, said Terry

- I have my car, said Annie, let's go!

Terry showed Annie the way and they quickly got to his friend's building. They took the elevator and they got to Archie's floor and they rang the door. Archie opened and he smiled when he saw his friend with two beautiful girls.

- What do we have here? Terry with two girls…

- Archie, this is Candy and Annie

- Pleased to meet you, said Archie smiling

- Pleased to meet you, said Candy and Annie at the same time

Archie's apartment was big, luxurious and well decorated.

- You're apartment is beautiful, said Annie to Archie

- Thank you , my beautiful lady. But it's not as beautiful as you…

Annie burst out laughing blushing at the compliment.

- Please have a seat, said Archie

- Thank you, said Candy and Annie

There was a bar in the living room and Archie went behind to play the barman.

- Ladies, what do I serve you? He asked

- Plain water, said Candy

- A Martini, said Annie

- A fruit juice, said Terry

- Well, my pretty lady, said Archie, looks like we're the only ones having booze tonignt! We have that in common…

- Indeed, said Annie smiling

Archie continued flirting with Annie. Candy was looking at her friend, so at her ease. Terry looked at her.

- Why are you looking at me like that Romeo?

- Because I like your freckles, Juliet…

Candy burst out laughing. She felt good with Terry. He started flirting with her too…

From that moment on, the quartet became inseparable; the would go to the movies together, the restaurant, they would even go to the community kitchen and helped out with the needy. But sometimes, Annie and Archie rather be along so they would leave Candy and Terry, on their own.

oOoOoOoOoOo

One evening, when she went to the community kitchen, Candy had to take care of some of their sponsors. She showed them the place and stayed with them a big part of the evening. When Terry arrived, she found her taking care of the sponsors and laughing with them. They were very attractive men and the green monster of jealousy showed up. Candy saw him and she came to see him to say hi

- Good evening Romeo, she said, how are you?

- Fine, he said coldly

- I have to go some of our sponsors are visiting… I have to take care of them…

- Really?

- Yes, I hope I'll be able to convince them to make more donations…

- That's why you're taking care of them like that?

- I'll see you at the end Romeo, said Candy leaving.

Terry was not in a good mood. Candy barely looked at him… she went back to her sponsors and Terry's bad mood lasted for the whole evening until the end.

Candy walked the sponsors to their cars.

- Would you like us to drop you off somewhere? Or you've got your own car?

- I'm fine. I've got a few things to finish before I go home.

- Very well, can I invite you for diner one of these days? Said one

- I'm seeing someone, said Candy blushing

- Oh, that's too bad for me, but I was expecting it. Good bye Candy

- Goodbye Vincent, and thank you again for your generosity

- The pleasure is all mine if it allows me to meet beautiful ladies like you.

Candy burst out laughing and she went back inside. She found the kitchen almost empty but Terry was already gone.

- Terry left? She asked the other volunteers

- Romeo? Yes, he left five minutes ago, said one

- Damn! I hope I can catch up with him! Thank you.

She took her stuff and she ran to her car. She drove away looking for Terry, she wasn't rushing, so she could see him from afar right away and pick him up… She drove on the street ten she saw him about to cross the street. She hit the gas and got close to the side walk. She rolled down the window on the passenger side…

- Terry! Terry!

Terry was walking swearing and mumbling, angry with Candy. When he heard his name called. He turned around. He saw Candy, he was happy, but he didn't want to show it. He looked at her coldly and he stopped…

- What do you want?

- Oh Romeo, Romeo… I want to apologise…

- Why?

- For spending all that time with the sponsors…

- You were flirting with them. None of them invited you for dinner?

- We had already eaten…

- You mean no one invited you to go out with them?

- Oh that, yes… but I told him I was seeing someone…

- Really? Who?

- I know that we've never kissed, but I was thinking that if you were interested…

- What makes you think that I'm interested in you?

- Euh, I don't know Romeo, the fact that you're making me a jealousy scene at the moment?

- Am I?

- Get in Romeo…

Terry got in the car.

- Please forgive me for tonight, Romeo, I neglected you…

- And how are you going to make up for it?

Candy looked at Terry and he took her in his arms. Their lips touchent each other…

- "Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again."

- "You kiss by th' book. ", she said softly

Their lips were sealed in a sensual kiss, fierily and passionate. Candy felt like her body caught on fire, she had never felt anything like that before. All her senses were alert. Terry started caressing her, so Candy rembered they were in her car.

- Romeo?

- Yes…

- We're in my car, on the street…

- So…?

- We can't stay in my car…

- Let's go to my place

- No, mine is closer…

- All right…

Candy had to make the ultimate effort to concentrate on the street, Terry was kissing her on the cheek on the neck and Candy was laughing. They arrived at Candy's, they got out of the car holding hands. They walked together towards the house/ Candy opened the door and they got I, their lips were welded. Candy took him by the hand and they went upstairs in her room. They mutually took their clothes off still kissing… Then they found themselves in their birthday suit they went to bed to make love. For Candy who had only been with her husband, it was a new experience making her head spin because of the pleasure, she wanted it to stop so she could be in control, at the same time she didn't want him to stop and it was only the beginning! She didn't remember feeling so much pleasure before the act! My God it was delicious and the actual act hadn't happened yet! When they were ready they did the deed and Candy was moaning louder and louder as her pleasure was getting bigger. Candy never thought she could feel a pleasure so high, they exploded together, they spent the night making each other feel good and they fell asleep at dawn satisfied of one another…

Terry woke and he felt like he was in paradise. He had made love to Candy and he realised that it was worth the wait, it was absolutely fantastic, wonderful. He got out of bed to go to the bathroom. He found a new toothbrush behind the mirror and he brushed his teeth. Then he took a shower and while he washing himself, the curtain opened and Candy got in with her toothbrush in he mouth, since Terry was taking a shower, she didn't want to turn the water on so she won't mess with the water temperature. She finished brushing her teeth and she put her tooth brush away by the sink. Then Terry took her lips and under the water. They rubbed each other's back and they made love under the shower, against the wall…

They got out of the shower very late. They dried themselves and Terry got dressed…

- I'm going to go make some coffee while you're getting dressed

- All right, I'm not going to take long, Romeo

- I hope so, Juliet…

He got out of the room and went to the kitchen. The found an electric kettle and put water to make a cup of tea. He found some teabags in the cupboard. He made his cup and he wanted to add some milk, he walked to the fridge to look for some milk. He found an opened box of mils and he put some in his tea and put it back in the fridge. On the fridge, there were some pictures of Candy and her friend Annie and another one with Candy and an older man and his blood turned to ice…

Candy arrived smiling at the same moment.

- You've made some tea? I should've known! You're still very British!

She saw Terry's face and she was frozen on the spot.

- What's the matter?

- Who is this man? Said Terry coldly

Candy was surprised by his coldness and looked at the picture.

- That's my father…

- You're William Andrew's daughter?!

- Yes, why?

- Well, your father stole my company…

- What? How? What company?

- Grandchester Entreprises!

- Grandchester? But you said you're name was Graham Baker… You're Terrence Grandchester? Oh my God!

- Yes! Oh my God! You thought you had me with your father, didn't you?

- What? No… I didn't know!

- Don't give me that! Said Terry putting his cup of tea on the table to leave.

- Terry wait!... I didn't know! Terry!

But Terry took his coat and left Candy's house slamming the door behind him. Candy followed him, but he was walking away fast. Candy looked at him go. What could she tell him? Her father had bought Terry's company and knowing her father, she was sure he could've used some other ways to get the company. Candy burst out laughing. Terry… She loved him and now he hated her, he considered her father as his enemy… Like Romeo and Juliet in fact!

Be careful what you wish for!
