Once Upon A Time…
Chapter 16
"Things calm down"
Candy had ten thousand things in her head. But she wanted to finish at least one thing; she had to talk to Justin. She walked to Terry's villa where Justin was, he was eating and drinking. He raised his head when he saw Candy.
- Are you ok? You're coming to dump me, aren't you?
- Justin…
- Your son doesn't like me… he spent all his time with a man he adores and who turned out to be his real father… I don't have my place in your lives…
- But, we had plans…
- That was before the father of your child reappeared in your life… you have to try to make things work for your son… he needs to be with the both of you… Hollywood could become hell for rebellious young teens… I'm going to continue eating my meal and I'm going to leave. Don't worry about me Candy… It's going to be all right…
- Thank you Justin, said Candy sadly.
- Good luck…
She hugged him. She went to sit in one of the living rooms and she found Eleonor Baker with her assistant. She raised her head and she smiled.
- Please come in. You're Marcus' mother? Candy?
- Yes, said Candy.
- You've raised a very good young man, my grandson…
- Thank you…
- Don't worry, he's going to calm down… Terry was a real rebellious, that's what took him to America… where he met you…
- Our son had no reason to rebel…
- Except you didn't tell him who his father was… he got acquainted with his father without knowing it…
Candy went to sit on the couch next to Eleonor.
- I've seen them together, they behaved like father and son… Terry wouldn't let Marcus go out until he finished all his school work… He didn't let him drink or go to orgies, he was behaving like a real father with him… it was like his subconscious knew it was his son… The resemblance? Since he auditioned hundreds of young men who looked like him, he didn't think for one second that it could be his son… when he came to live with me, I did everything to protect him from this hell, so he won't get into alcohol and drugs… Orgies? There was no way! He did the same thing with Marcus, because he loved him… otherwise he wouldn't care…
- I know. I've heard stories about children of the stars who become addicted to alcohol very young and who do drugs…, said Candy
- Terry is not like that… He lives his life, but he doesn't do drugs, ever! He had seen too many mess it has done around him, how many young actors died stupidly just because they took one pill too many…Marcus was safe with him…
- Now, I'm afraid he does something wrong, said Candy worried.
- Everything is going to be fine, he's smart boy…
- I hope so, said Candy sadly.
She was worried. He son hadn't come back yet. She knew William was going to take care of Marcus…
Terry was in another living room having a drink. Marcus was his son! His son! That was incredible! He already loved that boy who reminded him so much of himself at the same age. He had been perfect for the role because he was his son… It was wonderful… Marcus was his son with Candy… He was wondering why he was thinking about Candy more than usual ever since his meeting with Marcus. He kept thinking about Candy! Now, he understood why. Candy… Candy was back in his life, she was Marcus' mother, it couldn't be for nothing. The univers was giving him a chance to reunite his family…Marcus needed his two parents. Everything was tumbling out in his head. This evening was the most beautiful evening of his life; he had won his second Oscar for best actor… Marcus had also won, but everything went awry. Marcus wanted to introduce him to his mother who happened to be Candy, his Candy… Well now, he was going to make sure that Marcus became a reality. He had to convince Candy…
He got out of the living room to go look for Candy. He saw Justin leaving the manor and taking a cab.
"Good riddance!" he said to himself.
He went to the living where his mother was and he found her talking with Candy.
- Terrence! Said Eleonor, have you heard from Marcus?
- No, said Terry.
- I'm sure he's fine… he's with William, said Candy.
- Candy? Can I talk to you?
- Now Terry? It can't wait?
- No, said Terry, it's urgent… our son is upset because of our actions…
- All right, said Candy sulking.
She stood up and followed Terry in the other living room.
- Do you want something to drink? He asked.
- No, thank you.
- I saw your boyfriend leave…
- Yes, he wants to give us a chance to be a family.
- Ah! It was his idea?
- Yes. I wanted to be a family with him…
- You're stubborn as a mule! Even after you found out that Marcus and I were inseparable…
- I don't know what kind of life you're living, you might be engaged to be married…
- Marcus did tell you that he wanted to introduce you to someone, didn't he?
- Yes, but he didn't know he was going to reunite his parents…
- What we should do, is satisfy him… make his dream come true
- Make his dream come true? You mean, you and I…?
- Why not?
- Oh my God!
- Candy, for our son… he needs the both of us… no more boarding school…
- I wanted to take him to Lakewood, to meet my family.
- You mean that your mother doesn't know him?
- He was my secret…
- Candy…
- I know I did things wrong. I was trying to forget about you and he looked so much like you…
- Marry me Candy, let's be a family with our son…
- He's angry with us…
- He's going to calm down and we're going to live altogether…
- Here?
- Where ever you want…
- But Terry… is it going to work? I still don't remember about our nigh together… I have no experience…
- You mean that ever since our night together… you haven't done anything?
- The only time I did it, I not only don't remember but I got pregnant… that was enough to scare me for the rest of my days, literally!
- Oh Candy…, said Terry gently
He approached her and took her in his arms. All of a sudden, she remembered the incredible sensation she was feeling when she was in his arms, when she was 16 years old, it came back at the same time as her feelings for Terry she had forgotten… Terry looked for her lips and he kissed her. She let him do it, she opened her lips and Terry's tongue got in, looking for hers to caress it, she found her self sucking it at one point. Her blood became like lava and was boiling, she put her arms around Terry's neck and she started curling his hair with her fingers… Terry found himself sixteen years ago with more experience, no woman had awaken in him that sensation ever since that summer. He was kissing her, he didn't want to stop, it was his turn to suck her tongue like a Candy. His hands were behind Candy's back and was making an effort to not caress her everywhere… but his member was already stiff and Candy had felt a fountain coming out of her in her panty. They stopped and looked at each other, breathless… their adult bodies wanted each other.
- It's late, said Terry, I don't think Marcus is coming back tonight…
- He must be with William, said Candy, maybe I should go back too…
- I wanted to invite you to remember our drunken night… you might not know it, but I don't remember it either…
- In other words, you're asking me to make ?
- I'm more mature and I have more experience…
- It's not like I remember our first time…
- Well, I mean that you now have a man with more experience and I promise that it's going to be unforgettable for the both of us, this time around…
Candy felt a light bolt in her whole body and her panty getting wet again. She had never felt like that before! Not even with Justin…Terry was awakening sensations in her she didn't suspect existed! For the first time in so many years, she had the impression to be alive. If she never had sex with Justin, it was because she didn't feel like it. She had told herself, she was going to force herself after the marriage, so she was telling him that she wanted to wait until they were married. With Terry, there was electricity in the air … they had good chemistry and she didn't want to leave him. She wanted to prolong this new sensation, exhilarating and scary, she wanted to see where it was heading. So she told him:
- Let's go to your room…
Terry smiled and took her hand. They walked together to the master bedroom. Earlier, she hadn't really looked at the room. It was huge. The King size bed was a canopy bed. There was a big flat screen television and the whole shebang; DVD player, Blue ray and even a VCR and an entertainment system. There was a desk with a computer and all the accessories… the carpet was white thick and soft. The furniture was white, so were the curtains and the hanging.
They were sweating and breathless… Candy curled up into Terry's arms who held her gently against him. His heart was bursting with love…all those feeling she had repressed deep down inside, had just come out again. She was 16 years old again and she was crazy in love with Terrence Grandchester, the father of her baby…They made love.
Usually Terry, after having sex with a women, he only had one idea, he wanted to get a far away a possible from the woman… It was different with Candy, he didn't want to let her go, he didn't want to leave her… She was the one he was looking for, because with her, everything was possible. They already had a child together, they were a family…
- So, said Terry, did your memory come back?
- No, said Candy, what about you?
- Me neither…
- It was fantastic… for me it was the first time and our forgotten night has another advantage aside from the birth of our son, I don't remember the pain of the first time…
- For once I had a virgin, and I don't even remember it!
- You've never had a virgin before me?
- No… they all already had experience, even when I was a teen…
- Oh…
- They don't make them like you anymore, you know…
- Can we start over?
- You'd have to get me in the mood…
- Show me what to do…
They made love again and again, they couldn't get enough of each other.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Marcus was with William in his villa. He went to his room to try to sleep and lock himself up in case his parents would come to get him, but he wasn't falling asleep. He had the impression he was a rejected child… but he started to think. His mother was never there, that's true, but when she was there, she was taking good care of him… Terry without knowing, could've been indifferent, but he also took care of him like a real father should, preventing him from drinking and not allowing him to participate in orgies, or be with hookers who weren't hesitating to seduce teens in showbiz, he was forcing him to do his homework and his school work before he was allow to go out to awards shows and receptions… he was lucky, he had to admit that. William also took good care of him. He had everything he needed, his mother had left him in good hands and William had left him with Terry knowing he was his father. He wanted Terry to be with his mother so they could be a family, he didn't know how right he was… he had managed to reunite his parents without knowing !
William went to see him, he opened the door.
- Are you going to sleep?
- What if mum came back?
- No, she's living at the apartment…
- All right
- You'll have to talk to your parents eventually
- I know…
- They love you…
- They didn't want me…
- Come on Marcus. If you get a girl in trouble and she thinks her life is ruined, it doesn't mean that she won't love her baby, only that the timing was not great… it's the same thing for Candy and Terry… without that incident, I'm sure that they would've continued being in contact they would've ended up together later on… your parents love you Marcus…
- Mum wants to marry another man…
- I don't think son, said William, she had found Terry again… I've seen them together back then, in fact, I didn't want them to go out because I thought that Terry was going to hurt her…
- Why?
- He came for the summer vacation as a punishment, for having an accident with his father's car, he was with his girlfriend who got her leg broken… but in Chicago, he was a fine young man. I understood that he was trying to get his father's attention…
- So you let him go out with mum…
- He was a good boy, if he were a bastard, he would've gone out with all the girls and believe me, they were all waiting for a word from his part… and you know that if he were one of those actors doing drugs and living a horrible life, I never would've let you make a movie with him… I was keeping tabs on him, since he was your father and I knew that sooner or later, Candy was going to want to contact him… she told me earlier she wanted to ask me something… She wanted to ask me to look for Terry…
- Terry is an actor, she need you to see him?
- You can believe it or not, your mom doesn't watch television and she spent the last few years in the middle of nowhere in India… Even if it wasn't the case, she wouldn't have known how to contact him…
- Terry is my father! Said Marcus like he had just realized it, oh my God! Terry is my father!
- I'm going to let you digest that… your mother is back and you've got your father too as a bonus… you should be a family
- But mum and her dude…
- Everything is going to be fine…
- I'm going to go see Terry tomorrow morning to apologise and find a way for him to get mum back… he owes me that!
- Good night Marcus
- Thanks Uncle William…
Marcus barely close his eyes during the night. He kept thinking about his parents and what he was going to tell his mother to convince her to get back together with Terry… he remembered Terry telling him about a girl who had been special and that he has slept with her while he was drunk; that was his mother!
Dawn didn't come fast enough for Marcus. He got ready and put back the clothes he had on the night before. He found William up, on the phone… He was going business the eastern side of the country, so he was up at 5 AM, since there was a 3 hour time difference…
- You're an early bird, said Marcus smiling
- You're one to talk!
- I'm going to see Terry…
- You miss him, don't you?
- I have a sudden need to see my father…, said Marcus smiling and I'm going to call mum, once I talked to Terry…
- Very well. The driver is going to take you at Terry's
- Thank you…
- You're not going to have trouble to get in?
- I'm Terrence Grandchester's son, Uncle William…
- The reporters must've invaded the entry in front of the gate of your father's villa…
- That's true… well I'll have to do with it…
- You're going to be in the car anyway… Good luck…
Marcus arrived at Terry's villa and he found a group of reporters and photographers. The windowns from the William's limousine were teinted, so nobody could see who was inside. The reporter were disappointed.
Marcus arrived in front of the door and he got out. He rang the bell and the butler opened the door for him.
- Good morning Holmes, where is my father?
- He's still in bed, Master Marcus
- All right, thanks…
- But…
- I know the way, said Marcus almost running towards the big staircase.
He got up the stairs, four by four and he arrived in front of the master bedroom. Heknocked once and opened the door and got in. He saw hi father holding a woman in his arms. He heart exploded in his chest. His father couldn't spend one night without a woman in his arms? He had just found his mother again and he was sleeping with another woman? He approached the bed angry.
- Dad! He said
Terry opened his eyes with difficulty…
- What the bloody hell…? Started Terry, Marcus?
- You already have a woman in your bed?!
Candy heard the voices coming from very far…
- Stop talking, said Candy, people are trying to sleep here…
- MUM?! Said Marcus voice in disbelief.
- Marcus? Said Candy pulling the sheet on her to hide her nudity.
- Oh my God! I'm going to get out of here, otherwise I'm going to be traumatized for good! But I have to admit that it's a wonderful spectacle! He said laughing.
And he got out of the room. Terry stood up, naked to go to the bathroom.
- You want to come with me?
- What for? Asked Candy.
- I'm going to show you what we can do in a bathroom, he said smiling.
- All right, said Candy smiling
Marcus' return had put them in a very good mood… She got out of the bed, naked too and she took his hand and he took her in the bathroom… There, Terry showed her that a lot of good things could happen in a bathroom on top of rubbing each other's backs…
oOoOoOoOoOo
Marcus was in one of the living rooms watching the giant screen television which was talking about their lives in their own way without knowing the details. They were in showbiz world, an imaginary world, only the news were just as imaginary the majority of the time. And they like to concentrate on negative, for example, on the fact that his mother had gotten pregnant after a drunken night, showing his father, the Oscar winner for best actor the night before, under a not so good day. He had worked with his son without knowing it… It's a good think he had behaved with him like a father and he was strict. He started thinking; what if Terry had let him do whatever he wanted, like drink, orgies and drugs, he would've been the worst father of the year! But thank God, Terry had behaved with him like a real father with his son and that's what he was… But in the end, they were forced to admit that Terry's young protégé, who turned out to be his real son, was a good boy, straight A student in his school in England and that showbiz hadn't ruined anything in his education in that Royal College of St. Paul ran by nuns.
He heard voices and he got out of the living room to go see. His parents were coming. They were talking and laughing. It was the first time he saw his mother so happy and his father so happy with a women. Usually after his one night stands, the women didn't stay, he rather be alone or with Marcus.
Candy and Terry arrived downstairs and they looked at Marcus.
- Marcus? Said Candy
Their son was smiling at them. They approached him.
- Are you done with your little rebellion? Asked Terry
- Yes dad…
- So you forgive us? Said Candy
- You were immature teenagers… I'm trying to imagine my mother pregnant at my age… it must've been hard, especially since you didn't want to take after your mother…
- Let's go to the dinning roo, said Terry, breakfast must be served.
They walked to the dinning room and they found the table full of all sort of food. The servers were there to wait on them with tea and coffee. They sat down and helped themselves to the food while still talking.
- Forgiveme Marcus, said Candy
- Forgive me too, said Terry
- You didn't know, said Marcus
- But you were right, I should've inquired about Candy…
- Only, he thought I would've contacted him if anything had happened…, said Candy abashed, it's not his fault, I didn't want to talk to him… I had lost my virginity and I didn't remember anything! And on top ot that I found myself pregnant, out of wedlock like my mother!
- I don't know what I would've done, said Terry honestly, but I would've helped you…
- Financially I had William
- I would've given you moral support, I wish I could've seen Marcus as a baby, see him grow up, play with him…
- We did all that dad, when we spent time together, said Marcus
- Yes, we did, said Terry smiling, I already love you like a son
- I'm happy you two found each othe, even if it was by pure chance…
- I was looking for a young man who looked like me to play my younger self in the movie…
- And you stumbled on Marcus! Such a coincidence is extraordinary…
- It was the voice of blood; as soon as I saw Marcus, I felt attracted to him…
- But I blew him off when he came to me, said Marcus
- He was even rude, said Terry
- What? Said Candy, Marcus, why?
- I was angry because you didn't come, once again! He said
- Oh, said Candy sadly
- My friend who gave me the idea to do the movie, so you would see me on the big screen, only he didn't know that in India in the middle of nowhere, you didn't care about Hollywood
- In fact, I didn't want to see Terry and learn that had gotten marry, said Candy softly
- All you had to do, is come to see me, said Terry, I was never able to forget you, even if I didn't remember our night together…
- Wait a minute, you don't remember either? Said Marcus
- No, said Terry
- Oh, so this morning, what was it? The two of you in bec… was a way to trigger your memory, by making love all night long?!
- Marcus! Said Candy outraged.
Marcus burst out laughing.
- You're very perceptive son, said Terry laughing.
- You're going to make an honest woman out of her, right?
- Of course, it's Candy, the girl that never left my heart, said Terry looking at Candy with love.
- Is that why you never got married? Asked Marcus, because of mum?
- Yes, said Terry smiling, I love you Candy…
- I love you, Terry, said Candy smiling
- And I love you both! Said Marcus laughing.
They burst out laughing all three of them. Life was beautiful, life was wonderful. After all those years without a real family, he now had his own family. I won't have to envy his friends family anymore, they were going to envy him, from now on!
Once upon a time, a young boy was very happy to have his two parents with him…
