Chapter 22
They were packing their bags when Kara received a message on her phone.
-Damn, is Alex asking me for news?
-Why is it rather nice of her!
-No, no, not that, but I completely forgot to take a gift from him. It is a ritual in the Danvers sisters when one part, she must bring him a memory.
-I'm going to be tortured for weeks worried Kara
-Honey don't freak you out. I'm going to ask Helori if he knows a place to answer your problem. Even though it's Sunday, I'm sure he'll find a solution for us.
-I hope... Kara replied
Lena was away for a few minutes and came back happy
-It's all good, he asks us to find him at 3pm in a shop, it is normally closed this season but Helori knows the owners well and he managed to convince them!
-Thank you my love, you save me," replied a relieved Kara
-Nothing my love is about thirty kilometers from the cottage and we will then make our return to National City
-It's working!
After a 20-minute drive, Lena and Kara arrived at the Helori-indicated venue. His jeep was parked in a deserted parking lot so it was easy for our two wives to find him. The store was called Collins and Collins, it was located on the edge of the forest and the main road to reach the highway, it was very visible and well located with lots of parking spaces so ideal for stopping holidaymakers and their quest of memories which was the perfect illustration with Miss Luthor and Miss Denver. They greeted Helori and he let him into the shop.
-Henriet, Doug we arrived said Helori
The couple of about fifty years left the reserve and welcomed them warmly.
-Thank you for opening and we are very grateful!
-Oh nothing! I can't refuse anything to this bugger, when we settled in this little corner of forest paradise Helori helped us a lot to make ourselves known to start our business. So it's a great pleasure every time we can help him out! Explained Doug
-Can I offer you a homemade chocolate with its whipped cream and honey asked Henriet
-Perfect" replied Lena
-I'll let you visit the store.
-Thank you!
It was a honey shop. There were different sweets, cakes, different forest honeys, cosmetics and other goodies highlighting this delicious nectar and bees in all these forms. Kara chose several gifts for her friends, mainly Winnie the Pooh's favourite dish while Kara opted for cosmetics. Once the last present was found for Andrea, she noticed Kara motionless and as fascinated in front of a shelf, she laid and rested some pots with great attention to detail. Lena, intrigued, walked up to her companion and discovered a ray with an amazing specialty.
-Honey, I hesitate you think Kelly would take it well if I offered him one of these honeys
Lena laughed and the most seriously in the world answered her
-I don't see anything that might shock her, I think she's shaving your sister's honey somewhere already.
-Lena, stop I don't want to imagine anything! She said shocked, shrugging her shoulders
Indeed Kara and Lena found themselves in the "Bees Boobs" department cuvée 2019, the pots were sold with the spoon that was drawn in such a way that it could not be unequivocally possible as the representation of a breast and its fleshy nipple. Henriet approached the couple to interrupt their reflections.
-I see you've found one of our specialties?"
-Yes, it's original... Kara replied embarrassed
-Absolutely, 5 years ago at a drunken party, I had the idea of this collection, at first I saw it as a wink a little naughty without great pretension but quickly the success was at the appointment and it became one of our best sales and I can tell you that on Valentine's Day we make a box with this collection.
-I'll believe you smile Lena
-But the most important thing is that it is mostly an excellent honey, we have a hundred hives that produce in our forests the "Bees Boobs" and we are very proud of it. I'll let you judge with hot chocolate.
-Okay! acquiesced to the two women
During the chocolate tasting, Kara stunned said:
-Unbelievable, this honey is divine I have never eaten one so good!
-Me too added Lena
To Kara's ear, she whispers
-I'll take a few pots for our personal consumption, I'll find it a shame to deprive us of it and I'm sure Kelly will love it.
-sold, darling. I can't wait to give the gifts
After a long discussion Kara and Lena thanked the couple for their presence and welcome as it was time for them to leave. They bid a warm farewell to Helori and this sumptuous landscape to find the great city. The return was longer than expected as a traffic jam formed 10 kilometres from National City and they had to be patient. Lena was nevertheless pleased to see that this incident allowed Kara to wake up well and to enjoy her presence.
