A month later, we are all gathered at the flower shop for Andrew’s and my engagement party. It’s the last big celebration that we are having in town.
Soon, we are heading off to Silicon Valley to celebrate something else that is just as exciting: the grand opening of my new business in that location. Both Andrew and I are going to be living in Idaho and California, just like he has been this whole time before he and I got together.
I'm so excited about it but I'm also excited for Andrew to show me the city as well. I'm standing next to Andrew now, while he's discussing our upcoming trip with Brian and James.
We are also explaining our business ideas to them. They are proving to be great friends to Andrew and me. We get along well with them.
"Basically, it will work like this," Andrew explains. "It's an on demand flower service that is designed to cater to all the tech gurus in that area."
Brian and James look at him, impressed.
"That's not a bad idea," Brian says.
"Yeah, I like it. That would come in handy if anyone ever needs to apologize to their spouses for working late," James says.
We laugh.
"That's one of the scenarios we envisioned when creating the idea," Andrew says.
I smile up at him proudly. I love how intelligent and talented he is.
He smiles back at me and kisses me softly. As I look around the shop, I see Tammy walk in. I excitedly wave to her. She sees me and hurries over. Once I leave Andrew’s side, Tammy gives me a big hug and says, "Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!"
I hug her back and say, "I'm happy for you as well."
Tammy has been having some luck in the love department as well.
She comments, "Yes, it seems like things are both working out for us."
I nod in agreement.
"So, you're really, really happy?" Tammy asks me, as we both look at Andrew.
"Beyond words," I reply with a smile.
"Good. That's all I wanted for you," she says.
We grab drinks from the refreshment table and talk.
"So, I hear you are going to be a big success in the florist industry?" Tammy asks.
I nod.
"Andrew has a lot of great ideas that have really transformed the business," I reply.
"And you said you didn't need a man’s help," she teases.
I roll my eyes and we both laugh.
"I hear the auction business is going well, too?" Tammy asks quietly.
"Yes, I'm surprised by that as well," I say, as we sip our drinks.
Truthfully, I am. I wasn't expecting the auctions to be so successful. At the rate that they are spreading, though, a lot of the local businesses have been earning more money from them and doing quite well.
A lot of people know about the auctions but help keep the public quiet about it. I was surprised to learn how many people were cool about things like this. After a while, Andrew grabs my hand as he makes an announcement.
"We want to thank everyone for coming to our engagement party. You all know how happy Sheila and I are to be together, and we wish you that same happiness as well. Enjoy the food and have fun."
Everyone cheers and toasts to us. We hired a DJ to play music, so everyone is having a good time. Andrew spins me around the floor.
I'm not surprised to learn that he's a great dancer. He seems to be good at everything.
Everyone has fun dancing, eating and celebrating. We party late into the night. By the time the party is over, I'm ready to go home and rest. I'm glad Andrew hired a crew to clean up the shop for us after the party.
During the limo ride home, I lay my head on his shoulder.
"That was fun," I say with a yawn.
Andrew laughs.
"Yes, it was," he agrees.
"You're not falling asleep yet, are you?" he asks.
"Yes..." I murmur.
My eyes are already closed.
"But we're almost home. And now the real celebration is about to begin." he says.
His words and tone of voice catch my interest.
"What are you talking about?" I ask, as I sit up and look at him.
He laughs as I yawn again.
"You'll see..." is all he says.
I stick my tongue out at him like a child. He laughs again. I love how happy I feel when I'm with him. The limo drops us off at his home. Every time I see it, I'm just as amazed by it as I first was.
When we get inside, the first thing I do is kick off my heels.
"My feet are killing me from all the dancing," I comment.
"I think I can help with that," he replies.
He sits me on the couch and starts massaging my feet. I close my eyes and lay back.
"That feels wonderful," I sigh.
He continues to massage my feet. A short while later, I can feel his hands working up my legs and past my thighs.
"How does this feel?" he asks softly.
"Even better..." I reply.
I open my legs as his fingers start to slide in and out of me. It feels so good as he plays with my pussy.
"Let's take this upstairs," I whisper.
He picks me up and carries me to his room.
"Any special requests?" he jokes.
"Yes," I reply, as I take off my clothes and stand there naked. "Tie me up."
I can see his eyes widen in surprise.
"If you are sure that's what you want," he says.
It is, and I know it’s what he wants, too. I can hear how turned on he is. He ties me to the bed. I watch his face as he slides inside me.
No one turns me on as much as he does. I kind of like taking charge for once, and telling him what I want him to do to me.
"Turn me over and spank me again," I say to him.
I can tell that this surprises him as well. He spanks me until I'm wet. Now I'm ready.
"Take me!" I cry out.
He pushes himself back into me, bigger and harder now that more time has passed.
“It’s so hot when you tell me what to do,” he says, as he plays with my nipples. “But only now and then. Don’t forget that I’m still in charge usually.”
“Yes, Sir,” I tell him, as he spanks my ass.
He thrusts himself in and out of me, ravaging my pussy with his cock. My pussy walls grip around his cock, sucking it dry.
“Go harder,” I tell him. “Please, please, fuck me faster.”
He does until I cum, moaning loudly and crying out his name.
He cums too, groaning while he says, “Oh, my God, Sheila, I love you so much.”
After he unties me, I decide to surprise him. I have him sit on the edge of the bed while I go down on him. I can tell that he is excited by this idea. What a great way to celebrate our engagement. He's right about it being fun for both of us.
And I can’t wait for the rest of our lives so that we can keep doing this whenever we want.
Chapter 22 - Andrew
I'm so happy to be in California with Sheila. Both our businesses are flourishing nicely. We are at the grand kick off celebration for her new shop here. So far, she's charming all my friends in Silicon Valley and San Francisco, just like she did with Brian and James back home.
"You sure have a lovely fiancé. That must be how they grow them in the small towns," one of my friends jokes, causing all of us to laugh.
Our conversation soon turns to the auctions. Sheila and I have invested in a successful side business. We want to bring the auctions to the small towns and help them grow there.
The extra income will be a big help to local businesses in the area. One of my friends comments that he will have to "visit one of these small towns and check out the auctions."
Sheila and I encourage him to do that. We joke that you never know what will happen long-term when you think you’re just buying a date.
I'm very proud at how great my business is doing over here. The systems that I invented have
helped me to hire capable employees to run the business while I am away. This has given me a lot of free time.
If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have been able to travel to the small town and meet Sheila. I’m glad that business there is doing great as well. This allows both Sheila and I to travel and just be with each other.
My friends mingle with other people, giving Sheila and me a few minutes to ourselves. I look over at Sheila and kiss her softly, seemingly out of nowhere.
"What's that for?" she asks, looking up at me with those pretty eyes of hers.
"For helping me stop and smell the roses," I reply.
She looks at me a little puzzled at first but then smiles as she gets my joke. I walk Sheila around my office. I can tell she's impressed by the space. Just wait until she sees my house out here.
After the party, I decide that I would like to show Sheila around the office. Not only do I want her to know everything about me, I just love being with her.
"What do we have planned after this?" she asks.
She looks comfortable in the chair behind my desk. I love to see her there. Or anywhere with me, actually.
"I thought we'd go sightseeing around the city?" I suggest.
Her face lights up with excitement.
"I would love that!" she exclaims.
"And I love you." I reply.
We spend a few more moments in the office cuddling and kissing before heading out to enjoy the city. Sheila enjoys herself as we walk around.
"There's so much to see," she remarks.
"Yup. You would be surprised at how much the city has to offer," I say.
"I'm so glad you convinced me to come with you," she says.
She lays her head on my shoulder as we walk. When I'm with her I feel so happy and full of life. After our walk, we get the limo to drive us to other parts of the city. I'm really enjoying the whole sightseeing thing. I show her different spots in the city that I like to visit when I am here.
We go to the Golden Gate Bridge. Golden Gate Park. Fisherman’s Wharf.
And then we go to some of my favorite places in the city: a few little book shops.
"I didn't know you liked to read?" she asks.
"Occasionally. I mostly just like collecting books. Plus, these places usually have the best coffee," I reply.
"Having the best coffee is a necessity, after all," she jokes.
We both laugh.
I love how comfortable she is around me now.
We do a little shopping for the rest of the day until it turns into the evening. I had had the limo drop us off and now I’m wondering when I should call the driver to come get us again. I decide to extend our fun for a bit longer.
I hold Sheila’s bags as we walk down a street lined with little shops. Sheila has fun going into each one. I love spoiling her and seeing her happy.
At the end of the street is my favorite place. I take Sheila by the hand as we walk inside.
"This is my very favorite bookstore. It also has a great café," I tell her.
"We're having coffee for dinner?" she teases.
I chuckle at her joke.
"They offer a lot of sandwiches and salads," I explain.
"Ooh. That actually sounds delicious," she replies.
We order our food and sit in a corner table by the window.
As we eat and talk, I can see that she enjoys looking out at the city skyline. The lights make it more breathtaking at night.
She takes a couple of pictures of the sunset and the sky changing colors. When we first met, she didn't strike me as the type of person that enjoyed things like that.
After we finish eating, the limo picks us up and takes us to the house that I keep here in the city. Sure enough, Sheila is amazed by it.
"Now that we are engaged, it’s your house too," I remind her.
I set all of her shopping bags down by the door. I’m surprised when I turn around. She throws her arms around me and she starts kissing me passionately. My tongue is in her mouth, too, eagerly kissing her back.
She pulls off my pants and my shirt. I undress her and we admire each other’s bodies like we had just admired all the landmarks.
“I love your curves,” I tell her, pulling her close to me.
“And I love your strong chest and your hot tattoos.”
She gets down on her knees and takes my cock in her mouth.
"What is this for?" I ask, pleasantly surprised.
"For such a wonderful day. Especially that casual date at the café," she giggles. “That was great. And now I want to thank you for it.”
I laugh and say, “Go right ahead.”
She takes the head of my cock into her mouth and sucks it while playing with my balls. She moves her hand up and down, stroking my cock while she looks up at me.
I’m so hard I can barely stand it. She is so good at going down on me.
She takes my cock even further down her throat. She gags a little but keeps going.
Once I’m all the way inside her, she deep throats me while I play with her clit.
“Mmmm,” she moans, my cock crammed down her throat.
She cums as I face fuck her and rub her hard little nub. Then I can’t hold back any longer and I cum down her throat. She swallows it all down. Then I take my cock out and she licks up anything she’s missed, from its now-sensitive head.
“That was great,” I tell her. “Thank you.”
“Any time!”
She gets up and walks to the kitchen. Then she returns with drinks for both of us.
"Drink up," she says.
"What's so important?" I ask.
"We are going to go upstairs and test out your bed. I mean, our bed," she says with a wink.
I gulp my drink down and pull her up the stairs.
"What are we going to try this time?"
"Well, since you took my virginity, it’s only fair that you take something else..." she says.
Once we’re in the room, she surprises me by getting down on all fours on the bed. It takes me a few minutes to understand. My eyes widen in shock.
"Are you sure?" I ask, a little breathless.
"More than sure," she replies.
She sticks her ass out and moves it around a little, tempting me. I can't believe she suggested this. It’s so exciting. I spend a few minutes playing with her. Then I lube her up for comfort.
When she's ready, I slide into her ass, just a little.
“This okay?” I ask her, kind of scared to hurt her.
I have flashbacks of when I took her virginity and it’s really hot.
“Yes,” she says, “keep going.”
I push further in, filling her tight little ass hole with my cock. It stretches it out more and more, enveloping me as I go all the way inside.
I moan loudly. It feels incredible.
I love to look down at my cock going in and out of her ass hole.
Spanking her ass, I say, “you are being so naughty today.”
“I can’t help it,” she says. “Our little trip around the city really turned me on.”
I’m able to go for a long time, after having already gotten warmed up and cumming in her mouth earlier. I push in and out of her, playing with her clit while she cums over and over.
I love spreading her ass cheeks wide and watching my cock move in and out of her tiny hole. It feels great to claim every part of her. Finally, I can’t hold back and I cum, leaving a bit creampie in her ass.
After that hot anal sex we just had, we sleep comfortably in each other's arms.
Chapter 23 - Sheila
I'm so excited that my wedding day is finally here. Tammy, my maid of honor, of course, is fixing my dress and helping me with my hair.
"Wow! I never thought this day would happen," she says.
"I know! I feel the same way," I reply.
It’s true. After how much I told everyone that I didn't believe in this kind of
stuff, here I am getting married.
"This is going to be such a beautiful ceremony, and great job on the flowers! They look gorgeous!" Tammy compliments.
"Thanks! Just one of the benefits of owning a flower shop." I joke.
We both laugh. Of course I was responsible for providing the flowers for my own wedding. I have to agree with Tammy when she said they turned out gorgeous. I loved being in California with Andrew. I plan on spending a lot of time over there after we are married.
As much as I am growing to love the big city, I'm still a small town girl at heart. That's why we agreed to have the wedding here in Bloom. Not only is it more convenient for everyone, but also for sentimental reasons.
This is not only the town where I grew up but it’s also the place where Andrew and I met and fell in love.
“This is such a perfect day already,” I say to Tammy, maybe to calm my wedding day jitters. “Thank you so much for all your help. With my business, with my relationship, and with this wedding. I’m so glad you told me to go for it with Andrew, and I really appreciate all your support.”
“No problem,” Tammy says. “That’s what best friends are for!”
After fixing my gown and hair I'm putting the final touches on my makeup, Tammy is asking me questions about California.
I'm telling her about all of the places that Andrew took me to on our trip. She's telling me about some of the things that have been going on in her life while I have been away.
"Sheila?" A voice calls out in the empty bathroom.
Tammy and I turn to see my old boss Marsha.
"Oh, I'm so glad you could make it!" I say.
Marsha walks over and hugs me. I really am happy to see her. It’s been a long while. I’d sent her the wedding invitation but I hadn’t known if she would be in town or not.
"You look gorgeous!" she tells me. “I’m sorry I didn’t RSVP. I didn’t know if our cruise ship would get back in time. But it did! So I thought I’d drop in and surprise you.”
I smile and thank her, and tell her it’s no problem.
"I won't take up too much of your time. I just wanted to congratulate you and tell you how proud I am of what you have done with the shop," she says.
"Oh, thank you. I couldn't have accomplished it without you selling it to me first," I reply.
