Tomorrow if you want...

Chapter 7
"A bump in the road"

Richard Grandchester and his wife were on a cruise for several days. His wife had surprised him with tickets the day before. It was a way for her to keep her husband away from her son's business, while Terry arranges things with Candy.

So Susanna Marlowe was calling Terry's father and she only got his voice mail. She left a ton of messages until the voice mail was full. She learned from her father that Richard Grandchester was on a cruise with his wife for a several days… She had no choice but to wait.

Terry was practically leaving with his new found family. He would go there after work, have dinner with them, help them with homework, pick them up at their practice, go see games with them, even when Candy would be working nights. Candy wasn't worried about the children, with Terry there to help.

Candy was thinking about telling Terry what his father has done. But Terry's attitude made her hesitate. He was so proud of his parents.

- They are going to be so happy to have grandchildren! He said

- What about your father? He got you engaged to Susanna…

- When my father finds out you had his grandchildren, he's going to be urging us to get married! You'll see.

"I should be so lucky!" thought Candy.

- Are you sure about that?

- Don't worry honey; it's going to be fine…

- He's not going to be angry at me for keeping this from you?

- He's going to forget about that when he sees the children…

- I hope you're right, Terry

Candy didn't want to burst Terry's bubble about her father. Maybe Richard Grandchester is going to be happy to have grandchildren by Candy, in that case, she won't have to tell Terry about his father's attempt to buy her out and that he was the reason she dumped him that summer…

Annie was helping Candy with the wedding preparations.

- Annie, I can hire a wedding planner…

- Don't you dare! Said Annie, this is my dream come true, finding you a dress for your wedding! My kind of thing!

- All right. Terry gave me a blank cheque, you fill it out with amount you think we're going to need for everything

- A blank cheque? Said Annie smiling, wonderful! I love your man!

Candy burst out laughing. She was truly happy for the first time in a long time.

The children were ecstatic. They had told their friends, their teachers, that their parents were back together and getting married. Most of their friends had seen Terry at practice or at their games.

Cassie was especially proud, because her dad turned out to be the most handsome dad of them all and the youngest too. Her friends would tell her.

- Oh my God! Your dad is so sexy! Said

- He's so handsome! Said another

- He's to die for! Said a third

- That's how your brother is going to look when he gets older! Said the first one, I think I'm going to look at your brother with new eyes…

- Oh my God! Said Cassie, after seeing my dad, now you realise how hot is my brother? You guys are ridiculous!

The children had a basketball tournament in Boston for three days a few days later. Terry was there with Candy while they were packing their stuff. Terry was a little worried.

- Are you sure you're going to be all right? The hotel is up to standards? Asked Terry

- I don't think it's going to be a luxury hotel, but it's going to be fine, don't worry, said Cassie

- I can't help but worry, said Terry, now I know how my parents felt when I went on trips with the school , said Terry

- Terry, this is all new to you, you'll get used to it, said Candy smiling

- We're ready, said Cassie

- All right, let's go and drop you off at your school, said Terry

They all went together as a family, they got to school and all the other students were with their parents. The twins really felt good to have both their parents there for them for the first time, they felt proud and like all the other children. When they finally got on the bus to leave. Terry felt worried again. They went back to Candy's house.

- Maybe I should go, said Terry

- Can I come and see your apartment? Said Candy

- Are you working tomorrow?

- This is my week end off, said Candy

- What if one of your patients need you?

- They can beep me, but I have colleagues who can stand in for me…

- All right then, come and see my apartment

- I'll get my bag…

- You were ready?

- Of course. The children are gone for the week end, I was planning to be gone for the week end myself…

Terry smiled at her. Candy went to get her bag and they left for Terry's apartment. It was a luxury place in Chicago.

- Nice, said Candy smiling

- We can look for a bigger house once we get married

- Or we can live at my house…

- Yes, we can, but you're calling it, "your house"…

- Yes, we can look for "our house" together, when we're married…

- You want something to eat?

- Not now… did you and Susanna…?

- No… I haven't touched Susanna since we made love a few weeks ago…

Candy smiled. They went to sit on the couch, next to each other. He took a remote control and put some music on from the entertainment system.

- From the moment I saw you, I wanted you back…I came and ask you as a joke if you wanted to make love…

- And you caught me when I was actually hungry for a man! Said Candy laughing

- I was surprise to see you so …

- Horny? Funny because you were actually the only man in this world I would've said yes to, and you were there, I couldn't believe my luck!

- You're sure you wouldn't have done it with someone else?

- I didn't want to do it with anybody else… I only wanted you…

- You had no idea you were going to see me…

- I would've gone home and taken a cold shower…

- What a waste…

- That's how it's been since our break up…there's never been anybody else …

- For 14 years…?

- Yep!

- Oh my God! Why?

- First I was pregnant… was not really thinking about getting laid…

- I can picture that…

She put her head on his chest, he put his arms on her breast. He undid her shirt, revealing her bra and he had his hand on her breast, caressing them softly and pinching the nipples.

- Then I gave birth… the babies had all my time… and there was also school… was still not thinking about getting laid… then they were growing up, I kept thinking: "What if I get a guy who doesn't love my children?". So I hid them from the world… and met my dates at Annie's…

- What about William, you were really serious about him? Even after we made love again?

- Well you were engaged and I had no intention of telling you about the twins…

- You would've told William and married him if he wanted to?

- He's a good man…

- A billionaire too!

- If I wanted a rich guy, I would've stayed with you…

- You dumped me…

- I'm so sorry about that, but at the time I thought we were from two different worlds…your family was so rich, I was a poor orphan

- That wasn't important to me…

- You were engaged…

- Yes but…

- You married her right after our break up…

- She told me she was pregnant…

- Let's not talk about that anymore.

- I agree

- You want to watch a movie?

Terry pinched her nipples harder. Candy had a moan of pleasure. She turned around and approached her face to his; she was sucking his tongue, while he was taking her shirt and her bra off, she was undoing his shirt taking it off, caressing his muscled chest… Then he undid her pants… she undid his… they were both naked on the couch, kissing passionately. She was caressing his member, she was lying on the couch and Terry came on top of her… They made mad passionate love on the couch. It was intense, it was good, it was fantastic, they were moaning, breathing hard, heavily, they finally screamed their pleasure together when they reached the climax.

Terry fell on her; they were both in sweats, breathless. They stood up and they both went to the bedroom and they continued their lovemaking all night long. They would pause to eat, or watch television together, kissing every time the characters in the movie would kiss… laughing having fun.

They children called them on Candy's cell phone, they were having a blast at their tournament.

On Sunday morning, they were in bed making love, screaming their pleasure; they reached the climax for the umpteenth time since their week end started. They were breathless on the bed cuddling.

- I love you, he said

- I love you too, she said

- What a touching scene! They both heard

They were startled and they turned and looked at the door.

- Susanna? Said Terry not letting go of Candy, what on earth are you doing here?

- I came to try and reason with you, she said

- And you just let yourself in? Can I have my key back? Said Terry upset, now!

Susanna was sulking but she gave Terry the key back and he gave it to Candy.

- Thank you honey, said Candy smiling

- You're welcome

And they kissed in front of Susanna.

- Now can you let yourself out? Said Terry

- I came to talk to you, Terry

- I have nothing to say to you

- Please, Terry, I came all the way from New York…

- That's not my problem. We're over, Susanna!

Terry's cell phone rang and he let go of Candy and answered.

- Hello? Dad? Just a minute…

He put his hand on the cell phone and told Candy.

- Honey, I have to take this…

- Go ahead, said Candy

Terry kissed her on the lips.

- I'll be right back…

He got out of bed, buck naked, picked up some boxes on the floor and left the room. Susanna was alone with Candy.

- You do know he's with you only for the children

- That's a good reason for me…

- He was supposed to marry me! You had to come and ruin it!

- I didn't tell him anything, he found out on his own…

- After you played the mysterious girl!

- Miss Marlowe, would you mind getting out of the room …? Why don't you follow Terry to the living room, he's the one you came to see, not me…

- You think making love to him is a guarantee?

- I know you enjoyed watching us, said Candy, you're pathetic!

Susanna became bright as red. She indeed watched Terry making love to Candy, wishing she was Candy and cursing them at the same time. She left the room. Candy put on a robe and went to the bathroom to freshen up and then she went to the living room She found Susanna talking to Terry.

- Leave, Susanna, said Terry and don't come back, I love Candy…

- You love her…? Said Susanna, Terry please

- I don't understand why you're insisting…

- Maybe the merger between your two companies is vital for her…, said Candy

- I don't care about that, said Terry, get out Susanna…

Susanna finally left the apartment and Candy locked the door. She turned around and found Terry close to her.

- I'm sorry for the interruption, he said with a sensual voice

She put her hands around his neck, taking his lips.

- It's ok baby, you'll make it up to me…

He starting kissing her neck, she was laughing. She felt him active again. He pushed her against the door…she took his boxers down. He carried her and penetrated her against the door, she was moaning and enjoying it… Susanna on the other side who was pathetically curious, heard them against the door…

"They're like a couple of rabbits! Oh Terry, I'm going to miss your lovemaking, you're the best love I've ever had…"She thought sadly walking to the elevators.

Candy and Terry screamed again and again. Breathless

- Oh my God! Said Candy we're a couple of perverts!

- You've got 14 years of celibacy to make up for…

- I know, with a lover like you, I'm going to catch up pretty fast

They had breakfast, they made love again. Then they decided to go to Candy's place and wait until it was time to go pick up the children. So they cooked dinner together.

They went to the living room when they were done and even after 2 days of lovemaking, they still where all over each other, they couldn't get enough of themselves. They went to take a shower together… it took them an hour. They got ready to go get the children and their drop off point in school. The twins were glad to see them. They all hugged and laughed together. They went back home and they had dinner together. The kids couldn't stop talking about their games.

- What did you guys do over the week end?

Candy and Terry looked at each other.

- We spend the week end together, said Candy

- Did you have sex? Asked Cassie

- Cassandra! Said Candy outraged

- That would be a "yes", said JT

- James Terrence! Said Terry

- It's ok, my friend Holly's parents have sex too…, they sleep in the same room…

- We are not having this conversation! Said Candy

- I agree with your mom, said Terry

- Fine, said Cassie smiling looking at her brother, we're glad you two are having sex!

- Would you stop it ! Said Candy, eat your dinner!

The twins ate their dinner, changing their conversation. Their parents were "together, together" and they were in seventh heaven.

They spent some time in the living room watching a movie and talking then the kids went to bed. Candy and Terry stayed in the living room. Terry left very late after making love one more time to his beloved.

The wedding preparations were going fine. Annie was having a blast with Candy looking for the perfect wedding dress.

- Candy, make up your mind…

- Annie, I intend to do this one time, I need the perfect dress…

- All right, princess, said Annie laughing, let's continue!

The wedding was going to be in a couple of weeks and Terry had a business trip abroad. He was in bed with Candy at his apartment.

- How long is your trip?

- One week, I'll be there the week before the wedding

- Oh… I'm going to miss you…

- I wish you could come with me…

- Me too, but I got the wedding preparations and the free clinic, and so much more

- I know…

- When are you leaving?

- On Tuesday…

- I'll take you to the airport…

- All right…

On the Sunday morning, before the week he was going away, Terry got a surprise visit.

- Father! He said hugging him

- Terrence…

- When did you come back from your cruise?

- Last night…

- And you already left mom alone?

- Well, I got messages from Susanna

- What did she tell you?

- Nothing just to come and see you…

Richard was looking around Terry's apartment, he saw the picture of him and the twins… he became pale as a ghost.

- Who are these children?

- They're mine….

- Yours? How come I've never heard of them?

- Because I just found out not too long ago…

- Two?

- Twins…

- Twins? Who's their mother?

- Candice White…

Richard looked at his son stunned.

- That white trash?

- Don't call her that! That's the mother of my children and the woman I love!

- Terrence…take the children

- NO! I'm marrying her…

- Marry… no don't ...

- Why not?

- She's not good enough…

- Why because we don't know who her parents are?

- We've got royal blood in our family

- Like I give a damn…

- Terrence…

- Father, I'm marrying Candy… I love her

- Love… Oh Terrence!

- What?

- I didn't want to tell you this… she came to me in Florida, telling me she was pregnant and that she needed money to have an abortion…

- WHAT?

- She didn't tell you about our little deal?

- What little deal?

- She said she wanted to study, that she couldn't take care of a baby…I gave her money to get rid of the child…

- Why didn't she come to me?

- She had no intentions to come to you, she just wanted money… at first I refused, then she said she was going to go to you…and tell you, that you loved her so much you would marry her… and pay for her school…so I told her, I'll pay for her school, if she kept silent, got rid of the baby…and she agreed.

- That's a lie! Said Terry upset, you're lying!

- Where's your computer?

- In my bedroom…

Richard walked to Terry's bedroom and got on his computer, he was there for about 10 minutes when he came back with some printed papers and he gave them to Terry.

- What is this? He asked angry

- Read…

Terry looked at the papers. It was a series of cheques made out to Candy White for thousands of dollars every month for the duration of her medical studies.

- No, said Terry, she told me she got a scholarship…

- I was her scholarship, Terrence!

- No! Said Terry upset

- You've got the proof in front of you… even if I wanted to manufacture them, how could I do that in 10 minutes? Open your eyes Terrence! She lied to you and kept you from your children for years!

- You gave her money to get an abortion!

- It's a free world, she told me she wanted to get rid of her pregnancy… she blackmailed me into making me pay for her med school… I guess the extra money I was giving her help her babies…

- My girlfriend at the time, comes and tells you she was pregnant and you give her money for an abortion? Dad! How could you do this to me? To your grandchild?

- I'm not proud of what I did…, but I was ready to do anything to keep that white trash out of our family!

- I love her, dad…

- She lied to you…

- She didn't tell me about the children, I found out on my own…

- Why is that? Because she knew she took my money…

- I love her, said Terry, I love my children…

- Then take the children…

- No! I want them all…

- You still want to be with her?

- I have to talk to her…

- Terry, think… she's a liar…

- She's the mother of my children! I'm not dumping her!

Richard looked at his son. He was madly in love with Candy… the last time he managed to get Elizabeth to fake a pregnancy to stop Terry from going after Candy… This time it's going to be harder to keep him away from Candy with teenage twins…

- Terrence think about what I said. Susanna is ready to raise those kids as hers…

- There's no way I'm marrying Susanna, I don't care if Candy was a drug dealer… I love her…can you leave me alone now?

- Terrence…

- Leave dad! Please…

Richard left his son alone. Terry was devastated. Candy took money from his father? Candy wanted to get rid of the children? No… there's got to be a mistake somewhere…
