B&B OF LOVE AND FUN-40
Hi everyone. Thank you for all the reviews after yesterday's chapter. It's so nice to know, that you still like this story. I know that I'm writing very little about their actual work in B&B, they are always having fun, but this is exactly what I need to write about now. After all, the title of the story is "B&B of love and fun." So here is another chapter devoted to fun. The idea for it, was given to me by one of the readers and I'm very grateful. Hope you will like it.
Few weeks later...
"What a week that was, don't you agree Elsie?"
"Yes, we had every room booked...I still can't believe, that we are so popular and we have so many guests. Remember in the beginning, when we were worried, that we won't have any guests?"-Elsie asked, petting Oliver's head, who was sleeping calmly on her knees.
"Yeah, I remember it very well. Me and Charles were especially nervous, while you remained calm."
"Somebody had to...What are we planning for the first free weekend?"
"Well, Katie is going to that dance with that boy that she met- I think his name is Matthew."
"You are letting her go with a boy?"
"No way, Andy and Daisy are going with her. She will later spend the night at the farm, because it may finish late..."
"Good idea. Katie is young, she should have her share of fun."
"I agree with that, but not only young people should have fun. It is also reserved for such old grumps like us."
"Speak for yourself Beryl! What kind of fun do you have in mind for us for tonight?"
"The usual...Good dinner, lots of alcohol, but I thought about something more, to make our evening more interesting?"
"What did you have in mind?"
"I once heard about a very interesting game and I thought that we could play it."
"What kind of game is it?"
"We are writing down different questions on little pieces of paper, then we are putting those questions to the bowl-separate bowls with question for men and women and then each of us, is drawing one question and has to answer sincerely."
"I don't know about that...I'm not sure if Charles will be pleased about this...What kind of questions it will be?"
"Funny and maybe a little indecent..."
"Then you can be sure, that Charles will not go along with this..."
"Oh yes he will...He just needs a proper amount of alcohol and he will be fine..."
"Actually, I think it sounds rather interesting...We can try..."
Few hours later, after dinner and quite a few drinks...
"Come on now Charles, it will be fun...Let's play Beryl's game..."
"I'm not sure if it is a good idea..."-Charles was still rather hesitant to that idea..."
"It's a great idea. You will love it Charles, I promise...Just take one big sip and you will be fine..."- Beryl poured a big drink to Charles...They were all quite squiffy, but Charles still was not sure...
"How is that even going to work? Are we to prepare the questions first?"-Charles asked...
"No, no, it's all ready and divided into men and women category...I have them in separate bowls...I prepared it earlier, all by myself..."
"I'm not sure if I find it very reassuring..."-Charles mumbled and Elsie who heard it, had a wide grin on her face...
"All right...First we will pick the straws and who ever will pick the shortest one, will be answering first and then choses a person who will answer next"-Beryl was fully prepared for the game.
They all picked a straw and it turned out, that Elsie's was the shortest...
"All right Elsie-you are first...Here, pick a card with a question..."-Beryl handed the women's bowl with questions to Elsie...Elsie picked one and read the question:
"What is the weirdest place in which you were kissing?"-Elsie read it and blushed immediately...
"Now, that should be interesting..."-Beryl was already grinning...
"Well, that would have to be the moors, when we were in Scotland..."-Elsie answered shyly, trying not to look at Charles, who was already embarrassed...
"Beryl, I hope that this was the cheekiest question that you had there..."-Charles said...
"You wish Charles...Now Elsie you can pick someone to answer the next question.."
"All right, in that case, it's you Beryl..."
Beryl chose the question...
"What is your favorite thing to do with your husband...?"-Beryl read the question...
"Now, that's not fair...I had to answer much more intimate question..."-Elsie protested...
"Don't blame me, you picked the question yourself and to answer...I like when we are cooking together with Bill..."-Beryl gave her husband a shy smile and they held their hands...
"Right Beryl, like we are going to believe that..."-Charles joked...They all laughed loudly...
"Oh really Charles? So now, I'm picking you to answer..."
Charles dived his hand deeply in the bowl with questions, he chose and read the question, already feeling, that his face is red as a beet...
"What is your favorite part of your wife's body? Are you serious? I'm not going to answer that..."
"You have to, these are the rules of the game..."-Beryl was laughing openly now...And even Elsie was trying to hide a smile...
"All right then Beryl...My answer is everything...I love Elsie all, from her head to her toes...Bill, I think that you need to take part in this fun now...Your turn..."
"What is it so special about your wife, that nobody else has? That's simple...Beryl is all about special..She is so funny, warm and one of the kind...Charles? You again?"
"How many times have you been in love in your life?"-Charles read that question, felling that his ears were burning him, although he didn't have the slightest doubts about the answer..."Just once"- he answered decisively...
"With Elsie?"-Beryl was inquisitive...
"Wait a moment Beryl...That is not the question...I'm only answering for the questions from the cards.. Your turn Beryl..."
"What would you do, if your husband would look at another woman? Oh, that's easy, I would cook her and gave it to you for dinner..."-this answer was followed by very loud laughs..."Elsie-your turn"
"How would you dream man look like? You have to give me something more difficult, as this one is easy..."Elsie pointed at Charles, who blushed..."Bill?"
"What is the one thing, that you are trying to convince your wife to do, but she says no..."-Bill read it.." Well I would gladly answer that honestly, because there is one thing like that, but...I will go with fishing..."
"Right Bill..Fishing...Come on...This game was suppose to be about honesty..."
"In that case Charles-you have the opportunity now, to be honest...Your turn.."
"Would you like to change something about your wife? Absolutely nothing...Not even a single thing..." Elsie was beaming from joy hearing this..."Elsie, you now?"
"What was the most appealing thing about your husband, the thing that caused you to fall in love with him? His voice-beautiful, low, commanding...I had shivers listening to it..."Elsie drank so much alcohol, that she felt like her inhibitions in being honest, were slowly fading away...
"Congrats Charles...Looks like you are going to get lucky tonight..."-Bill noticed and another cascade of loud laughter, followed that comment...
A little while later, in Charles and Elsie's bedroom...
Elsie came back from the bathroom, fresh and clean and she joined her husband in bed...His face lit up and he opened his arms widely, showing, that he wants to cuddle with her, which she accepted with joy...They were lying, cuddling tightly, enjoying their closeness...The cuddles were followed by few loving and delicate kisses.
"That was a fun night, wasn't it Charles?"
"It certainly was, but don't you think, that Beryl deliberately gave the idea for it, wanting to drag few personal details from us?"
"I wouldn't be surprised if she did that...You know how she is...Charles..."Elsie hesitated for a while, but she knew, that she had to ask him that question, that couldn't leave her in peace, ever since they were playing the game tonight...
"Yes my sugar?"
When you answered that question about being in love once in your life, were you talking about me or Alice?"
"Honey...How do you think? Of course that I was talking about you..."
"But I thought, that you were in love with Alice...When we were talking about our past back then, you seemed to be sure, that you were in love with her..."
"Because back then, I didn't realize what being truly in love meant...Now I know it for sure and now I know, that what I felt for Alice, had nothing to do with love..."
"So when you were talking about it, you meant me...?"
"Of course I did my love...It was always you...Just you and nobody else..."-Charles kissed the tip of Elsie's nose lovingly and she was touching his face with reverence..."You made me understand, what true love means, so for real, you are the only love of my life and the only woman in my life...You are giving me so much happiness Elsie...Much more than I could dream of..."
"I hope I am Charlie...Cause I'm waking everyday, thinking how blessed I am, to have you in my life and to be able to share every aspect of life with you...Working together, dining together, resting together and having fun together...Everyday I wake and think, what more I can do today, to make you more happy..."
"Oh Elsie..."-Charles simply could not find the right words, hearing such beautiful confession...He held Elsie tightly, kissing her temples..."I only wish, that I had proposed earlier...So we could have a lot more time together, loving each other...I was a fool..."
"You were a bit, but don't worry sweetie...I'm not going anywhere for the next thirty years and I will not let you go either...I didn't wait so long for you, to loose you now..."
"I have no intention of going anywhere Els...There is no other place in the world, that I want to be, than here, with you, in your arms..."
"Same here Charlie...Good night my treasure..."
"Good night Els..."
That's all for this chapter...This was fun, momentarily I wanted to make it even more juicy, but I figured, that realistically speaking Charles would never agree to answer really juicy questions, so I decided to stay in the safe zone...Hope you had fun reading it...Thanks in advance. Have a wonderful week.
