Chapter 16

A few hours after the incident with Gene. Molly got a phone call from Michael.

"Hey girl!" Michael said in an excited tone.

"Oh hey Mikey. What's up?"

Just a few moments later Vesta was on the other line.

"Hey Mikey, I got another call, hang on."

She clicked to the other line.

"Hey Molly!"

"Oh hey Vesta. Uhm, Mikey is on the other end. How about if all three of us on three-way."

"Okay cool."

She clicked until all three were on the line.

"Girl, I just saw Gene a few hours ago and he looked pissed." Vesta said.

"Oh yeah, he stopped by to get a few of his things that he left behind and he found my new boyfriend handcuffed to my bed." Molly told her.

"You go girl!" Michael said.

Elrond stepped out of the bedroom wrapped in towel and nothing else as he headed for the shower. He stopped and looked at Molly with a smile.

"Who's that?" He asked.

"Oh just my friends from work." She told him.

"You mean to tell me you can speak with more than one person on that device?"

"Yes."

Vesta and Michael heard his voice in the background.

"Girl is that your new man?" Michael asked.

"He sure sounds cute." Vesta told him.

"Don't he though?"

"So anyway what's up you guys?"

"I just wanted to call and remind you that RingCon is coming up this weekend." Michael told Molly.

"Oh shit, that right."

"And they changed hotels for this one, last year it was at the Hilton and now it's at the Marriot in downtown." Vesta said.

"Oh yeah I heard about that." Molly said as she rolled her eyes.

"So you gonna bring your new man along?" Michael asked.

"Yeah, we wanna meet him!" Vesta said enthusiastically.

"Well I don't know ..."

How would she explain a wax statue as her date when he only came to life around her. She had already been hit with news of her past life with Elrond. So how would she explain it to her two closet friends. As they were chatting back and forth, Elrond walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, he softly kissed her neck, making her sigh.

"You alright girl?" Michael asked.

"Yeah, I'm great." Molly told him as Elrond lightly kissed her neck.

"I think you should join me in the shower." Elrond suggested with a soft whisper in her ear.

"Hmmm ... sounds good to me." She answered.

"What sounds good?" Vesta asked.

"Oh sorry you guys, I was talking to my boyfriend here."

"Hmmm ... first I was your husband and now I'm your boyfriend?" Elrond asked with one raised eybrow and a smirk.

"Is he naked right now?" Michael asked.

"Mikey!" Both Vesta and Molly said.

"That's no of your damned business!" Molly told him.

"Shit, girl! Don't get your panties in a bunch. If he's hot like you say he is, I wonder if he's got a twin brother available, if you know what I mean?"

Molly just let out a chuckle.

"You are so bad Mikey."

"I concur." Vesta agreed.

"But you both love me." Michael said in a teasing tone.

Elrond pulled her close and continued kissing her neck.

"I have to go you guys ... I'll talk to you later."

And then Elrond kissed her softly.

"Okay! Bye Molly!" Michael hung up.

"See ya at RingCon. And don't forget to bring your new man!" Vesta hung up.

Finally he let up, and looked into her eyes. She ran her hands down his cheek. And there was another knock at the door.

"Oh shit!" Molly said as she leaned into Elrond's bare chest.

"Who is it?" She called out.

"It's me! Gandalf!" Said the voice from the other side of the door.

She walked over and peeked through the keyhole and there he was with a bag of McDonald's, he was munching on fries. She opened the door.

"Come on in." She told him.

Gandalf walked in and took a seat still stuffing his face with french fries.

"The food here is so good." Gandalf said.

Both Elrond and Molly looked at each other and then at Gandalf who obviously packed on a few pounds since being in this world.

"So is there a reason you stopped by?" Molly asked him.

Gandalf set down his food for a moment.

"Oh yes, actually there is. This has to do with Elrond being out of the museum for so long." Gandalf explained.

Molly looked scared and so did Elrond.

"Okay, I'm not liking the sound of this." She told the old wizard.

"Neither am I." Elrond chimed in.

"Trust me it's not what you think, this isn't a bad thing." Gandalf reassured them.

"Not a bad thing?" Molly raised one eyebrow.

"What do you mean not a bad thing?" Elrond asked him.

"What I mean is, the more you are with your true love. The more you will become real." Gandalf explained.

"So what are you saying?" Molly asked him.

Gandalf pulled out a couple of tickets and handed them to her.

"What I am saying is, have a good time at RingCon you two." He said with a wink.

He got up from his chair and excused himself and headed out the door. But before he left he turned to both of them. He spoke mostly to Elrond.

"I think you two might want to get out of the house a little later on." And then the old wizard looked at his watch. "I have to get going, I'm running late plus I have to stop by Arby's along the way. I hear their sandwiches are to die for."

The door closed behind him, and Molly just shook her head and chuckled.

"What's wrong?" Elrond asked.

"I never thought I would live to see Gandalf the Grey become such a fast food junkie."

"Yes, he is getting a little uh, fluffy around the edges?"

"Yeah you could say that. Is that invitation to the shower still open?"

"What do you think?" He said with a grin.

He took her hand and led her to the bathroom. Once there, he slowly undressed her as the water started to run. They both stepped inside and he held her close as the water ran over them and then he kissed her and cupped one of her breasts in his hand making her sigh. In the background, the phone was ringing.

"Should you get that?" He asked her.

Molly shook her head and continued to kiss him as the water ran down their bodies. The phone continued to ring as he backed her up against the wall and lifted her up. She wrapped her lags around his back as he entered her slowly making her cry out with pleasure. The answering machine finally picked up and it of course Gene was on the other end. Molly didn't seem to notice as she and Elrond were making love in the shower.

"Molly, you really hurt me today. But if you want to go on with your life ... that's cool. Goodbye ... if you still want to b friends ... I'm cool with that ... uhm ... bye." Click!

"Who was that?" Elrond asked as he looked into her eyes.

"Who really gives a shit?" She answered as she kissed him again.

They continued to kiss, and make love as the water splashed on them. He held her tightly as she orgasmed and cried out saying his name. A few moments later he did the same and they collapsed into each others arms.

"I love you." She whispered into his ear.

"I love you too." He whispered back as he nibbled her ear.

They finished up with their shower and got dressed to go out the evening. Molly would pick out a little black dress and she went through Gene's old things to pick out something for him. She picked a black jacket, a white shirt, and a matching black pair of pants with a set of shiny black dress shoes. He put them on and inspected himself in the mirror. He pulled his hair back, but enough to where his ears weren't showing. Molly walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"You look hot." She told him.

He spun her around to face him.

"So do you." He said as he looked into her eyes.

They eventually made their way out the door and down to the car.
