Hector and received some news from one of his contacts. He was happy with the news he had received and went to get his brother Paris.
"I found his address!" Hector announced
"He's probably not there"
"But we know where he'll be going"
"Let us get our cousin back"
Helen was walking up the stairs to her lavish estate. She never knew why there were so many stairs. She opened the door into the mansion and closed the door quietly.
"Where have you been?" Mathew roared
"I was at the spa trying to relax, apparently I should go back" she answered
"Maybe you should, and stay out of trouble!"
Achilles sat in the chair drinking ice tea from the glass watching Briseis try on another dress while the torn fabric of the previous one lay at her feet. He motioned that he did not like the dress and to move onto the next one. Eddie returned with a small blue box in his hands. He handed it to Achilles and smiled.
"We'll be taking 2 of those dresses" Achilles whispered to Eddie pointing to the torn blue dress on the floor.
"Briseis I have a surprise for you" Achilles said as he motioned for her to come
"Another surprise? What have I done to deserve all this?" Briseis asked as she approached him
"You've made me feel alive again" He reached out and took her hand and she sat into his lap. She sat there and her eyes lit up when she saw the blue box with the white ribbon.
"Achilles!" she screamed out like a child as she reached for the box.
"I don't understand why women are so fascinated by this blue box"
Briseis pulled the ribbon apart and slowly opened the box, her eyes grew in amazement at the contents of the box. Inside was a pair of sapphire earrings in the shape of a star. She gasped at the beauty of them. She took them out and put them on and Achilles saw a glow come from her face.
"You are absolutely beautiful" Achilles said as he gazed at her
Briseis moved up to kiss him and then moved her legs and straddled him on the chair. His hands moved to her thighs and were already pulling the fabric up. Briseis cupped his face with her hands as he tore the fabric of her dress again.
Hector and Paris were driving around searching for Achilles' apartment. They drove around in circles searching for it.
"Where does he live?" Paris asked looking out the windows
"Apparently in one of these run down warehouses" Hector said as he looked around
"I hope Briseis is alright"
Patrick awoke from his sleep, he had the video game controller in his hands and looked up at the clock and then out the window. He wasn't sure what day or time it really was. He got up and went to the fridge and opened it. Achilles hadn't ordered groceries this week. It was empty, except for a few opened cans of flat soda that had mold growing on them. He closed the fridge and started looking around for food. He signed and realized he would have to go out and get it himself. He searched for his keys between the cushions of the couch. He found some spare change and a peanut, which he promptly ate.
Achilles was sitting in the chair with Briseis still in his lap, breathing heavily on him.
"Is it always like this?" she asked as she rested her head on his shoulder
"Like what?" he asked as he caressed her arm
"So exhausting when I'm with you"
"Only if you want it to be. I think you need more practice" Achilles smiled
"Is that what this is? Practice?"
Shall there be more? Will Hector and Paris find Briseis? What is Helen doing here?
