The Fairy's Christmas Fairytale.

Chapter 5

Christian

I made the trip down here to a town called Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I brought my security team with me. And I also brought my best friends and heads of security, Nico and Cane. They also happen to be my cousins.

We decided that we would check this little town out for a few days before we went to Dessa's Delights to try to meet the owner and CEO. I knew that it was only polite to call ahead and make an appointment. But I figured that if I did that, they wouldn't see me. So I decided to just show up and hope for the best.

The few days that the guys and I spent around town, we heard nothing but good things about Dessa's Delights Chocolates. There were even rumors that the owner was going to open an adult store that sold only adult candies. From what I heard, they were going to use liquor in the recipes, and that's why the kids couldn't have them. I didn't know if it was true or not, but it was a good idea.

Walking through one store, I saw the different flavors of Dessa's Delights candies and cookies. So I bought enough of each one for us to try them. I wanted to see how good their products really were. I mean, they had to be pretty good if they were catching up to me in sales.

Once I made my purchase, the guys and I went back to the hotel to sit and try the products. And as much as I hated to admit it, it was all very f*****g good. Some of the flavors were so different from the stuff that I make. I'll admit that I was very intrigued. I couldn't wait to meet the owner of the company.

We tried to ask around town about the owner, but this town is a tight-knit group and wouldn't tell us anything about them. As much as I liked the fact that they protected their own and wouldn't give out that information, it also frustrated me. I have tried everything to figure out who owns this company and still haven't had any luck.

My guys have also been out and about trying to find out what they could as well. But it was the same thing with them. No matter what they said or did, no one would tell them who owned the company. Most of them would just say that they would have to call and ask for a meeting with the owner.

I finally decided that I was going over there today and requesting a meeting with them. I had planned to go this morning, but as I got ready to leave, my phone rang. "Hold up, guys, this is my dad calling," I told my friends.

"Hello, Dad, how are you doing?" I asked him. "Hello, Chris. You should know how I am already. It's the last few weeks before Christmas. When are you coming home to help us get things ready? You are needed here, and you know that, but you refuse to come home, why?" he asked me.

"Really? You're going to ask me why I dont want to come home. You tried to force me into a marriage with someone who wasn't my mate. Feel lucky that I still answer your phone calls. I could have done what she did and just disappeared on you. Is that what you want? Because if so, I'll stop answering your calls. Hell, I probably should anyway. Every time you call, it's just so that you can b***h at me about still being single. And telling me that I'm not doing enough to find my runaway bride. f**k that, let her stay missing. I hope like hell that she's happy wherever she is. Hopefully, she's already married with a couple of kids. I won't be getting married until I find my mate. She is the ONLY one who will be my bride. The only one that I will ever marry. I dont care if I have to wait another hundred years for her. I have time to wait. And you should know better than anyone that unless I find my mate and have kids with her, there won't be another Santa after me. The only child of mine that the title will pass on to is one who comes from the true mate bond. So I really dont understand why you're trying to push that girl on me," I told him.

"We are doing this for your own good. And if you had met with the girl before she ran away, you would have understood that. I have seen that you and her," he started to say. "Nope, no, no way in hell are you finishing that. I dont want to know what you have seen. Let me live my life. Now I have to go, I have a meeting. I will be home Christmas Eve like I always am. Goodbye, Dad," I said and hung up.

Every conversation with him always stresses me out. It doesn't matter how long the conversation lasts between us. We could talk for five minutes or an hour, and by the time that we're off the phone, I need a good, strong drink.

I took a few minutes to get calmed down before we left and headed over to the building that belongs to Dessa's Delights in it. When we got there, I went inside with Nico and Cane behind me. The girl at the front desk was on a call, so I waited for her to finish.

When she was done, she hung up and then looked up at me. "Welcome to Dessa Delights, how can I help you today?" she asked me. "Hello there. My name is Chris Clausen, and I'm the owner of Christmas Magic Sweets out of New York. I just happened to be in town and heard of this candy place, and wanted to see if the owner had some time to talk. I figured that I'd stop by and just see if they have a few minutes that they would meet with me," I told her.

"I'm not sure, give me a minute to call upstairs," she told me. She picked the phone back up and hit an extension, and waited for a few minutes. When someone picked up on the other side, she said, "Hey, Lavender, this is Mindy from reception. I have a Mr Clausen down here who wants to speak with the owner. He was hoping that she'd have a few minutes to talk to him. He's the owner of Christmas Magic Sweets out of New York he said."

She listened to the girl who was on the other side of the phone and then hung up. "Please have a seat in the waiting area. It will be a few minutes. The owner is currently busy in the kitchen, and cant be disturbed until she comes out. As soon as she comes out, Lavender will ask her about the meeting," she told me.

I nodded, and we went to sit down in the waiting area. I have to admit that I didn't think that the owner themselves were the ones making the candy. It intrigued me to see who this was. So we sat and waited. And when I was finally allowed to go upstairs, alone, I even had to sign an NDA before I was allowed upstairs. The girl said that it was to protect the owner's identity. My guys even signed them, even though they weren't going upstairs with me. I was surprised by the owner being a woman.

Thankfully, our conversation went smoothly, and she even agreed to go on a date with me. There was just something about her that called out to me. Not only did she seem familiar, but she felt familiar as well. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

When I used my magic to try to reach out to her to figure out why she felt familiar, it was like there was a barrier there keeping me from getting close to her. That was odd because it had never happened before. Not with normal people anyway. The only time that I can remember it happening was with the royal family. They could keep you from using your magic to get close.

I didn't have time to figure it out today because she had to get back to work, and I had to head back to the hotel and get some done myself. So once I was back downstairs, we headed out, and after stopping for lunch, we went back to the hotel. I couldn't believe that the owner was a beautiful woman. I just wish I could figure out why she felt like she was important to me. Surely if she were my mate, my magic would be able to tell that. I was really confused.
