2nd chance soul mate

progress meeting one

Caitlyn

The next week went pretty quick it was Friday and I had a monthly progress meeting with mrs Jones. Marcus had to work I was thankful for that they had not spoken much since last weekend and with the ball tomorrow and my family leaving Sunday I just wanted peace.

Mrs Jones the fruit plantation, flower and vegetables gardens are finished just needs to grow about 3 months . The flower shop is ready minus register I didn’t want to leave it there while nobody’s there.

The petting zoo area is built, the pony ride trail set up, the cafe and shop are built just needing fit out car park done. Jerry’s guy are working on clear the land where the staff cabins are going.

The stable is being finished today Marcus is meeting Darrel at 3pm to approve finished work. The barn house is almost complete a weeks worth of work to go. The butcher shop will be built within 2 weeks.

Lexi built the stadium the one and finished the carpark. I have asked her to liaise with jerry about where a carpark for staff can be which Lexi will do. She will also help with sourcing the animals.

Thats it. any questions for me mrs Jones? at this stage we should at least be half open by next holidays.

Mrs Jones

It all sounds wonderful just wondering how long till some of staff cabins are built enough for Jerry, he has security guys working for him. I’ll look into that Caitlyn said.

Now dear by my count you have 5 lovely girls upstairs need escorts to the Ball tomorrow and 1 lad without a date. The girls will need to be spoken to first they might not want to be paired up they might want to go alone and I’m sure the 2 boys will hang together. She smiled nervously at me.

Firstly Caitlyn it’s not how we do things her a girl or lady needs a escort second Daniel and Hugo have dates I was referring to Isabella young lad. Go talk to them and get back to me I’m very busy you know.

Caitlyn

Mrs Jones got up and walked away I hate how she keeps giving me orders especially about our private lives. I mean I know she’s trying to be helpful but its a little annoying.I found Isabella, Emma in one of the motels outdoor gardens the young kids were all playing together on the grass. Where’s Jacqueline I asked noticing she wasn’t here. Then I heard I have wine Jacqueline was holding 2 bottles of wine. The girl’s cheered yay. Nope I needed stronger I went to the bar and returned with 5 whiskeys and cola.

Whoa Caitlyn we have wine Isabella said I know this is for me. Ot oh what’s has Marcus done Emma questioned nothing I need to chat with all you about mrs Jones and The ball. In unisons they all said ok. I took a mouthful of drink then began.

You see here when they have events like the ball it’s found proper if you don’t have a partner to escort you one is arranged. I slowly took another mouthful of drink finishing the first glass. So Emma said suddenly Isabella realised Emma you need a escort. I looked between them nodded yes before taking another drink.

Basically anyone from 15 needs a escort realising that would be most of the girls. Im sorry mrs Jones ordered me to tell you. I said now on my third drink how would I even get a escort I don’t know anyone here Emma said.

You can talk to mrs Jones give her ideas of what your escort should be like she know everyone we can go to dinner tonight or meet for coffee before or after salon appointment. Ok Emma agreed when my phone rang I answered hi Stephanie what’s up?

Caitlyn I need to know if it’s ok if a few of Jason’s friends are escorts for the other girls. I raised my eyebrow at conversation the other could only hear me. What do the girls think about this? She began they want to but are nervous what their parents will say. I’m sure it will be fine leave it with me bye.

Well the girls all have escorts Stephanie advised me the girls were worried you guys wouldn’t like it but I figure if the need a escort it should be someone they choose and we will all be there. I took a drink Emma agreed Isabella was thinking then voice her thoughts do you not think it ridiculous girls from 15 need escorts but not the boys.

They do I finished my last drink apparently mrs Jones informs me Daniel and Hugo both have dates she will be walking the boys to meet up with girls. Jackson will need one, however he can escort Jacqueline daughter phoebe.

Isabella agreed to go talk to Jackson as she left mrs Jones appeared. Mrs Jones the girls are sorted and Isabella is talking to Jackson we believe we sorted it so you only get to work your magic on Emma good luck we will see you upstairs . Jacqueline and I headed upstairs

Isabella said Jackson was happy to escort phoebe. Emma appeared that was quick I said. Hmm she said she will get back to me. Emma want to go to leisure centre I feel like a spa these two can meet after their hubby arrive we’ll take the kids.

It’s handy staying here at the motel in town you can walk to everything yep I replied the kids went in the pool Stephanie and Jason hung with the younger kids he actually brought his siblings along. Emma and I got cocktails and headed to the spa.

We had already been joined by Isabella ,Jacqueline and their husbands Christian and Eric. My phone beeped looking at the time 4pm a text from Marcus oh I hope stable is complete. I open message where r u? I replied leisure centre.

Five minutes later Marcus and jerry walked in jerry nodded to his son he could hang out with jade. Caitlyn we need to talk. Nope I’m not working but relaxing if you want to talk about anything else you will have to get in smiling noticing him in his police uniform. He was so hot I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Caitlyn jerry pleaded I don’t have swimmers with me I need to talk to you.

Marcus let out a puff of air in annoyance removed his socks and shoes and all little accessories then started to enter the spa. Marcus your uniform but it was to late he walked towards me wifey if I say need to talk to you with staff around then I do if you insist on playing games I’ll join in. Crushing his lips to mine. Laughter could be heard.

I pushed him back go get costumes for you and jerry while I talk to him. He smirked happy with himself.

I walked with jerry and Marcus to the swimmers area what’s going on I asked mrs Jones came past this afternoon and handed me contracts for several of the guys to do security work asking about staff cabin been finish. Caitlyn she had already spoke to them when I’m arranging things through you.

All good jerry I will talk to her, I planned to ask you all this Monday I would like to read over the contracts. Ok sure he replied I’ll go not impose with friends nonsense stay Nathan is hanging with jade.Plus your our friend too you need to unwind.

Marcus

Don’t argue mate you don’t have a chance of winning unless of course you have a hot date cat might let off then. He laughed I’m not a cop so as a single parent I don’t have women throwing themselves at me .

We changed and headed to the spa I introduced jerry to everyone before heading over planting kiss on Caitlyn lips, her. Lips parted allowing the kiss to deepen beautiful I moaned before lifting Caitlyn up and sitting down with Caitlyn on my lap.

Everyone was talking Jason had approached me quietly sir the kids are hungry I am taking my family home now. I nodded.

Ok everyone we need to go kids are starving. I turned to Caitlyn would you like me to get takeaway. Caitlyn swatted my arm before getting up in front of everyone I have always done my duties as a mother, host practically your duties of your wife since before we were together.

There’s alway a large breakfast on weekends regardless who here. I make dinner even if it’s a weekday and I’m not staying I provide a meal for you to take to work everyday and ensure your washing is done. Dinner only needs to be heated it will be ready in a hour be at the table. She walked off.

How is it I made a nice gesture and I’m the bad guy I asked probably the alcohol Isabella said this will be a good night with a laugh. As they all started to get out. Nice meeting you all I’ll see you at the ball I looked at jerry we’re are you going.

Home probably via pub I need to feed Nathan too. if I go home without you and Nathan coming to dinner that will be the end of my relationship. Come relax are you sure yep he’s right everyone said. Walking back I noticed jerry escorting Emma back to the motel but choose not to say anything right now.

Jerry and Nathan went to change in room we kept for if I was on night shift as to not wake Caitlyn but since Caitlyn and I have been together I haven’t been working nights just afternoons or day shift.

Jerry knocked on the door Caitlyn answered pleased he was here. hope we aren’t been of inconvenience good thing your here I told him she almost cut my balls off when she thought I didn’t invite you.

Beer mate take a seat our table has now gotten so big the lounge area non-existent I told him then looked to Nathan jade is in the boys room. Playing video games that door on the right he smile walked in.

Everyone was starting to flutter in I looked over to see Emma and jerry laughing. Then I walked over to Caitlyn hugging her from behind would you like a hand baby. Just make sure everyone has drinks she said ok I whispered in her ear jerry and Emma are getting along nicely.

Caitlyn

I had just finished setting the table when there was a knock at the door mrs Jones would you like to join us. No dear I just wondered if jerry was here . Yes I repelled

Mrs Jones looked at jerry don’t worry about the conversation we had today I shouldn’t have said anything to you I should have let Caitlyn approach you then she walked out.

I followed mrs Jones what’s going on? Jerry and Emma were never going to let me pick their escort even if I’m right they had to choose.

I walked in grabbing a bottle of bourbon and cola from the fridge before sitting down. Thank you Caitlyn jerry said I did nothing it was her plan to begin with.

Jerry looked confused Marcus raising he’s beer about to drink when he asked what plan? I quickly stole his beer needing more Dutch courage to reveal it. I then handed him the beer back turning to jerry and Emma mrs Jones in her words knew you wouldn’t be happy with her picking your escort/ date even if it was right. So she forced it by knowing you would see Marcus and end up here. so what do you say would you like to go together Ok they both said shocked.
