A Big Day Today Part II

Chapter 30

They arrived at IHOP and ordered their food, after that they headed straight for the office building of Creed's partner; Creed had Jubilee dress up in a black cloak before they entered the office.

Creed knocked on the door and entered when he heard a familiar 'come in'. He opened the door, and spoke with a big smile on his face, "Hey, Chucky! It's yer favorite business partner from Canada!"

A small, think man with red hair, and green yes jumped with a start, "GAH! Victor!" he cleared his throat to regain his composure and spoke in a thick southern accent, "Victor, my old friend! How ya doin', partner? Have a seat!"

"Don't mind if I do." he pulled up a nearby chair and sat down in front of the smaller man, "You know what I'm here for, right?"

"Right… The money that I owe you from…"

"Last year and his years haul."

"Right. Well, Victor, buddy o' pal. Times have been ruff and business has been slow and… Well, I'm afraid that I can't give you the money right now."

"Oh, really? I'm sorry to hear that." he snapped his fingers and Jubilee walked forward, "Oh, Chucky. I want ya to somebody. Say hi to the nice man for me, Jubilee." he smacked her backside to push her forward.

She stumbled forward, spun around, and glared at him. He waved her on. Shaking her head, she sauntered up to Chucky, and stood right next to him, "Hi, Chucky." she said in a sweet voice.

"Uh… Hi." he replied, "Can.. I help… You?"

"Could you?" she lifted the bottom of her cloak and the rim of her dress up over her thigh, then placed a smooth leg up and onto his chair, "My leg is cold. Here." she grabbed one of his hands and placed it on her bare leg, "Feel."

"Oh, wow! Um… That's ah… Really nice. What exactly do you want?"

"The money that you owe, Mr. Creed here."

"I'm sorry. I can't."

"Oh." she whined, "I'm real sorry to hear that." she put her leg down and sat up on his desk, "Well, can you at least answer a question for me?"

"Sure."

"Do you like me tail?" she moved her tail out from under her cloak and waved it in front of his face.

He jumped back, "W-What's that! Is that… Is that a-"

"A cat's tail? Yes it is!" she removed the rest of the cloak, so that her cat like features could be seen more, he jumped back, screaming like a little girl, "What's the matter?" she smiled mischievously, "Don't you like it?"

"G-Get away from me!"

She moved closer, "Aw, don't be that way. You know you wanna… Touch it." she wiggled it under neither his nose, and he bolted to the other side of the room, but Creed blocked his path to the door.

"Where ya goin, Chucky?" he smirked.

"Far away from her!"

"You know, I can make her go away. That's if yer willin' to give me the money that you owe me."

"You know I can't-"

"Meow." Jubilee purred into Chucky's ear.

Chucky jumped into Creed's arms and looked at Jubilee with terror, "H-How much do I owe you again?"

Both Jubilee and Creed chuckled as he quickly opened his hidden safe and gave them well over 500,000.

Creed took the money, "Pleasure doin' business with ya, Chucky. Come on, Jubilee."

"Coming." she pulled the cloak back over her body and walked by Chucky, rubbing her tail under his chin a she past, "It's been fun, Chucky. Hope we get to do this again."

"AGH!" he screamed and jumped clear to the roof, only to hit his head, and came crashing down hard on top of his filing cabinets.

After that little stop, their next stop took them a neighborhood filled with extravagant looking houses.

Jubilee looked at all of the houses that they passes, then she looked at Creed, "Are we going to be choosing on these houses, Creed?"

"Not in this area. We're getting one of the more secluded ones, which are actually more expensive than these."

"Really?" a frown came across her face as she thought, "I'm not going to have to do all of the cleaning am I?"

"Are you kidding?" he chuckled, "Yer gonna be too busy fer simple house chores. That's what the help is for."

"You mean that we're actually going to have servants?"

"Yep."

"Cool."

They reached the houses that were apart from the rest, when they found one that caught their eye, they would get out, and take a look. Each house was different and had different yard decorations. They turned down four houses before they found one that they both could agree on. It was the only house that had a front yard full of trees that were sheered in the shape of while cats and a backyard with a hedge maze. They took a look around the inside of the house and saw that it was similar, but it had a jungle theme to it. The walls were painted with jungle scenery, the hand rail of the stairs was carved into a snake that had two heads, one going up and one going down. Other than that, the rest of the house was pretty much normal and empty.

"Whaddya think, Jubilee?"

"For some strange reason, I actually like it."

"Good. I'll call the realtors and tell them that this is the one that we want. Now, all's that's left to do today is your surprise."

"You gonna tell me what it is?" her eyes bright with excitement.

"You'll just have to wait a bit longer."

"Grrr You're no fun." she pouted.

"Ha Ha Ha Come on. Let's go."

For a while they just drove around, until the sun went down, then Creed pulled over and tied a blind fold over her eyes.

"What's this?"

"Part of yer surprise." he chuckled.

He started the car again and drove for a couple more hours, until finally he reached the destination that he was searching for. He pulled over, got out, walked around to the passenger side, and let Jubilee out.

Taking her hands into his, he gently pulled her along, "Just hang on and follow me."

"You're not gonna try anything like lead me into a den of hungry bears are you?" she asked nervously.

"No, but that doesn't sound like a bad idea." he chuckled.

"That's it. I'm going back to the car." she started to head back, but he pulled her to his side.

"I'm just kiddn', frail. If I wanted to do somethin' that mean I wouldn't have wasted the whole day away with you."

"Yeah, your probably right. So… Where we going?"

"Just wait a little longer."

"Okay."

As they walked, Jubilee let her senses tell her where she was. The sounds of crickets chirping, a cool breeze blowing, and the wounds of things stepping on leaves and twigs told her that they were walking through a forest. There was the sound of music in the distance. Jubilee felt Creed come to a halt.

"Are we there yet?"

"Yeah, we're here. You can take that blind fold off now."

She removed the blind fold and looked around, in front of them she saw a gazebo with a small orchestra playing romantic music, and bright lights hanging down from the trees. Her eyes widened in awe at the beauty. No one else was there except them and the musicians.

She turned to Creed with a puzzled look, "You did this?"

"Yep."

"Not to seem ungrateful, but… Why?"

He lead her closer to the gazebo, then took her in his arms, and began waltzing with her, "I know I haven't been all that nice to ya and I've wanted to make it up to ya. To show ya that I'm not such a bad guy."

"Really?" she looked at him suspiciously.

"Hey, can't a bad guy do a good thing once in a while?"

"Not when it comes to you, Creed."

He snapped his fingers, the music then turned to salsa. He spun her around, leaned her backwards, then pulled her back up, "There's much more to me than brute strength and animal savagery, Jubilee." he dipped her and kissed her deeply, pulling her back up, he twirled her around, and pulled her close to his body, rubbing his hand down the front of her gown. His hot breath breathed into her ear, " "Would you like to see more?" Her breath was hot and shallow, her eyes told him that she wanted more, he grinned, and continued to dance with her, until they were both tired and hungry.

Two waiters came out and seated them at a small table, then brought out extravagant foods and Champaign, while the musicians changed their salsa music back to gentle dinner music. They sat and ate quietly, talking every now and then, and sitting to listen to the musicians music.

Once the evening was over, the musicians and the waiters all packed up. Creed paid paid them and took Jubilee back to the household.

Everyone had either gone to bed or were up doing their own thing.

Turk was up and had noticed their arrival. He watched them enter the house and go up to their room. Sensing the change in Jubilee's emotions in the presence of Creed made him angry and worried. He yearned for Jubilee's touch and love, but he knew that he would not get it, not as long as Creed was there to control her life.
