Chapter Twenty-Three

After Helga and Travis were settled, and everyone was in the living room, Mokuba asked, "How's everyone at the Manor?"

Helga smiled at him and she said, "By now they all are probably on a well earned vacation paid by your brother."

Mokuba nodded his head, then he asked, "What about the Manor, if everyone is gone, who's taking care of everything?"

Roland chuckled and then he told him, "Tracy and Miguel Sanchez are staying there, it's going to be their Twenty-fifth Wedding Anniversary and their children are going to come to Domino to help them celebrate it and they'll all be staying at the Manor."

Mokuba then said, "I always liked Miguel, he'd let me help the men when they were planting some of the trees in the back yard, they'll take good care of our home."

About that time, Joey's stomach growled and he tried not to look embarrassed, and Seto chuckled and looked at the clock and he said, "Why don't we order some dinner, I am getting hungry."

Helga giggled and she said, "Could we please order some good Japanese food, I like hamburgers but I do miss eating good Oriental food."

Roland went over and he picked up the phone and called down to the front desk and asked to speak to the Manager, "Could you please recommend a good Oriental Restaurant that we could order some take out from?"

The Manager told him, "I'd recommend calling The Green Dragon; they have the best food in the city." Roland thanked him and then he hung up the phone and called The Green Dragon and ordered enough food for all of them."

A Mr. Po answered the phone at The Green Dragon and when he heard how much Roland was ordering, he nearly fainted. He assured Roland that the food would arrive in one hour and that it would be good and hot."

While they were waiting for the food to be delivered, Helga was telling Mokuba, Joseph and Jasper about how they threw a surprise going away party for Roland and Seto and when she was done, Mokuba was laughing so hard that he had tears running down his face.

"I wish I could have seen my brother laughing and dancing." He said.

Seto tried to reach across the coffee table and get him and Helga snapped his hand and she said, "Behave yourself, he's only laughing because you were so damn cute dancing."

Roland, Jasper, Joseph and Travis burst out laughing then and Seto looked at everyone and then he started laughing too and he said, "I really did have a great time."

Mokuba then said, "I'm so glad to see you happy again, it hurt me to know how unhappy you were."

Helga moved so that Seto could sit beside him and Seto put his arm around Mokuba and he said, "I know what a bastard I was, and it took a lot of courage on your part to tell me exactly what you thought and for that I'll always be grateful for that."

Just then, there was knock on the door and when Roland answered it, it was the delivery of their dinner. The men placed the food on the dining table and Roland paid them for the meal and gave them a generous tip.

As they all sat down at the table, Mokuba bowed his head and he said, "We give thanks for this food and for all the people sitting around this table. Amen.

Helga went to the kitchen and got plates, bowls and utensils for everyone and then they all passed around the containers of delicious food and they enjoyed their meal.

After they were all done, Jasper said, "It's time that Joseph and I get back, it's late and tomorrow Joseph has several portraits to paint, so we should get going."

As Seto held Joey's hand and Roland held Jasper's, everyone walked to the door and then Helga kissed both Joseph and Jasper and said, "Come back tomorrow and I'll help you plan your weddings."

Travis and Mokuba both gave Joey and Jasper a hug, then they walked back to the living room. Then Roland and Seto took their life mates in their arms and kissed them, Seto looked into Joey's eyes and he whispered, "I wish you didn't have to go." Joey laid his head on Seto's chest and he said, "I know, but we'll have plenty of time to be together after we're married."

Roland was kissing Jasper and when he lifted his head he softly said, "I don't want to let you go, now that we've found each other again." Jasper smiled as he reached up and touched Roland's face and he said, "I know how you feel, but we'll have lots of time after we're married to make up for all the time lost."

Then Jasper said, "Come on, if we don't get out of here now, I don't think that we ever will." So then he and Joseph walked out the door and as they made their way to the elevator, Joseph said, "I wanted to stay so bad."

Jasper put his arm around his shoulders and he said, "No more then I did, but we'll both have lots of time to let them both know exactly how we love them after the weddings."

Jasper pushed the down button and when the doors opened, they walked outside and gave the valet the ticket and when he brought back the car, they got in and Jasper drove back to the apartment.

Roland and Seto stood there after they had left and Seto looked at him and he said, "This damn wedding had better be soon or I don't think that I'm going to last. I want to make love to Joey so badly."

Roland chuckled and he said, "Son I know exactly how you feel, but we have to abide by their wishes, so let's go back in there and sit down and enjoy time with our family."

As Seto and Roland went back in the other room, Helga said, "Tomorrow when they come back, I want to get together with all of you and we can start planning your weddings."

Mokuba then said something that took everyone by surprise, he said, "Then maybe all of them won't be so sexually frustrated all the time."

Travis was the first to burst out laughing and then Roland and Seto started, but it was Helga that laughed the loudest as she said, "Now that's an understatement if I ever heard one.

It was getting late and Roland said, I think that we all need to get some sleep, tomorrow is going to be a busy day." So they all got up and said, goodnight to each other and they all walked to their rooms and got ready for bed.

At Jasper's apartment:

As Jasper unlocked the door and he and Joseph walked into the room, he closed and locked the door and said, "We need to get some sleep, tomorrow you are going to be real busy and then we have to go back to the Hotel, Helga is so great to be helping us."

Joseph yawned and he said, "Alright, I'll see you in the morning." Then he walked to his room, leaving Jasper standing there. As he closed his bedroom door, Joey stood there and he thought to himself, "Soon Seto and I will be married and we'll never be apart ever again."

Back in the living room, Jasper made sure that all everything was locked and then he walked to his room and as he closed his door, he said, "Soon Ro and I will be married and then we can make love all day long if we want to."

Just then, the phone rang and when Jasper answered it, he heard Roland's voice, "I wanted to make sure that you both got home safely and to say, I love you with all my heart."

Jasper's eyes filled with tears of happiness as he listened to what Roland was saying and he said, "I love you too, and Ro, I can hardly wait for us to become life mates." Then they said good night and Roland hung up the phone.

Joey's cell phone rang and when he saw who was calling he smiled as he said, "Hello."

Seto then said, "I wanted to make sure that you both go home and to say, I love you."

Joey closed his eyes as he heard what Seto had said, and then he told him, "I'll see you tomorrow and Seto, I love you too and soon we will be married and then we won't ever have to apart ever again."

Seto hung up the phone and as he lay in bed, he sighed and then he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
