Chocolate Honey (10 page)

After, Blake left all Christine thought about is the reality that she may own her own design studio one day. She thought about the hardships that may occur, should the business fail. Right now, her little family is dependent on her income for a majority of the time; they all would suffer if she failed. On the other hand, she thought about how Charlotte’s customers have always raved about her designs. Since her arrival at the “House of Charlotte’s” the company’s profits have increased by more than sixty percent. Charlotte was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy when Christine, saved her company with her designs. She hoped, Julian will be favourable to Blake’s proposal. In her heart she has already accepted, Blake’s offer. I love and respect Jules too much not to discuss this with him first, she thought. “Julian, darling I received a few visitors today. Your darling wife has been very popular today! One visit was actually amusing really and the other, could change both our lives. Which one do you wanna hear about first?” Julian smiled and pulled Christine to him, kissed her and said, “You decide, okay. Although I would like to hear the amusing part first! Tell me.” “Well, sweetie you remember the stuffy woman, you saw at Charlotte’s yesterday.” “How, could I forget her? She gave me the evil eye.” Julian shuddered as he remembered. “She brought her son with her; she wanted him to court me. Julian, stop laughing. I am not lying. I thought he would be an ogre, but he is really a nice person, quite handsome too.” Julian, cast a worried look. He wondered, if Christine was attracted to Clara’s son. I am being paranoid he taught. I know definitely that Chris loves me. He softly said, “You found him attractive, huh?” Christine pulled him closer and kissed the side of his face. “Jules, I love you. God I feel so happy whenever I say that. I could never find anyone else attractive.”

“I am sorry; I don’t know where that insecurity came from. It’s just that I hate it, that you have to carry your birth certificate, when we are together in public, just to prove to those bigots that you are part Black. I just felt, just for an instant that you would be completely free of that nonsense if you were married to a white man.” Christine was choked with emotions and her heart pained her to know, Julian, even though free in New York, is still considered to be her servant whenever they are in public together. She ran to him and hugged and kissed him, in her special way to comfort him. She then, made him lay on his stomach, took his shirt off and massaged his back. She rubbed him down, with their special nutmeg oil, she could feel the tension evaporating from his shoulders. When she was done, he spun around and pulled her on top of him and gave her one of his now famous, deep sensual kisses. “Julian, I swear your kisses are more erotic with each passing day. You practice on someone else?” Julian, felt his spirit coming alive, with her compliment. Smiled and kissed her even more passionately, than before. Christine moaned and pulled him between her legs. She started to grind her hips against his penis which was becoming quite hard, with each of Christine’s movement. “Hey.” She groaned, “Can a lady finish telling you part two, of the visitor list. Guess I am gonna have to tell you while you ravish me, once again.” “You started it, with all that grinding. “With that said, he slipped her top and underwear off in one motion. God he is becoming such an expert in taking my clothes off. Guess practice makes perfect, she thought. “Yes, you are gonna have to tell me part two, whilst I am making your purr with pleasure!” He proceeded to take the rest of her clothes off, and with the swift movement of a panther, he pulled his clothing off. He trailed, tiny kisses, along her back, calves, causing her to moan and pant in pleasure. He played closed attention to her butt. He kissed and licked each cheek, as if they were mounds of sweet taffy. She reached out to him, and started to caress his face. He spun her around, and feasted on her, starting from her breasts, inner thigh, toes. Every inch of her. He then went to the part of her that always made her hum with pleasure. He gently licked, and sucked on her vagina, for what seems to be hours on end. “Julian, you are tasting....me....I..Love..Ahhh...Ahh..Yes!! Yes!!..Sweetheart..I love.......ahhhh.” Julian, stopped feasting, long enough to see that Christine, away somewhere wonderful. In fact, she was far gone, she looked so peaceful and happy. He then went to the bathroom and came back, with new condom. Climbed back into their bed, which was filled with heat and love. He gently, kissed and caressed, Christine, who was still humming, she opened her eyes and cooed softly. Took the condom from him, and gently rolled it on his now, fully erect penis. He smiled as she did so, “Christine, I am gonna make you, experience pleasure more than ever before.” He gently entered her. She matched each of his thrust, with rapid rotation of her hips. She wrapped her legs around his waist so she could pull him deeper into her. With each of his thrust, she tighten the walls of her vagina on his penis. Each time she did that, Julian moaned loader than the first. “Hmmm, oh God, Christine... What are you doing.. Ahhhh who...Ahh...Oh...My

God...Are you...That feels sooooo gooood...tighten your walls again... I am gonna cum now!!” “God, Julian that was wonderful, I think people in Texas heard us.” Julian, licked his lips and gently ran his hand up and down, Christine’s back. She was still on top of him, gently rotating against, his soft penis, which was still inside her. “Julian, I think that we are the only, couple in New York that has so much erotic lovemaking! I love being with you so much.” “I love being with you too. It’s so much better, than when we were in Uber, as long as your birth certificate is plastered on that wall. I don’t think we have to worry about, me being hauled away and punished!” She softly, said, “I should not have to put my birth certificate up. We love each other and that’s that matters.” He gently sighed. “I wish, you did not have to my sweetheart, but as long as this stupid law last, we have to be careful. Don’t worry, hate cannot last forever.” She kissed him in respond then slipped off him, and took the condom to the bathroom, washed and brushed her teeth. He called out to her. “Sweetheart, we never got to discuss who your second visitor was.” “I will be there in a minute.” Julian got up from the sheets and stared at his naked body in the mirror. I have a wonderful colour. So dark chocolate, I am not being vain, but I know, God paid close attention, when He made me. I am well toned, got a nice firm behind, nice legs and a face that makes women, beg me to make love to them. Can’t tell Chris that. He smiled. Yet, this fine, fine creation is hated by so many. I personally, think it’s just jealousy; my people, mulattos, Negroes are so beautiful, and we are all in many colours. We compliment the world, by just being made. I really hope our oppressors will realise, that we are not only beautiful, but are intelligent and will help these United States, become a future force to be reckoned with, both economically and politically...One day.

“Jules, where were you just now? You were so lost in thought. I just stood here watching you. You know, what I thought, on seeing you naked standing there. One you were specially created. You are so handsome and beautiful. Two, I am so proud of you; you have progressed from a nineteen year old who learnt read and write his first words, to a lawyer in only five years. Jules, do you know what you have accomplished? I love you so very much; I’d do anything for you, anything. Please know that.” Julian turned around and Christine, saw that his eyes were watery; he was trembling. “Darling, you are shaking, come back to bed, let me warm you up. The fire logs are still alive, but my body warmth is better.” She gave him a seductive look and said, “Come, sweetheart, let’s just cuddle, I have some wonderful news.” “Christine, wait, I am not cold; I was so moved by what you said about how much I have accomplished. I am proud of you too my darling; you are one of the most independent and intelligent women I have ever met. Instead of depending on me for financial support, you are working, practically supporting our little family by yourself!” She opened her arms and invited him for a hug. She lovingly spoke, “I am independent, because of your love and encouragement. Come, let’s lay for a while.” She kissed him gently and said, “My second visitor today was Blake Bach. You know our guardian angel.” Julian, eyes lit up when he heard Blake was back in town, his last trip to Tennessee, took longer than expected, almost three months longer. Julian, was beginning to miss their little talks, whenever, he left Joshua at the Bach’s. Julian, spoke excitedly, like a small child, happy that poppa has returned. “Oh, Chris, where did you see him? How is he? Did he free anyone we knew back in Uber, like darling Bessie or Daniel?” “Darling, I saw him at my office today; he is fine; he said he helped, Bessie our darling Bessie to escape. He said he will have her help us with babysitting Joshua.” Julian exclaimed, “You mean dear wonderful Bessie? She will help us with Joshua?” “Yes, oh you sound like a child at Christmas time. He said he will pay her wages until, we get on our feet.” Julian hugged and kissed Christine and said. “Blake is one in a million isn’t he. God just sent him for us. I think it was fate that we met him that night. Did he free anyone else?” Christine smiled and nudged Julian before answering. “You remember your little girlfriend--” Julian, cautiously said, as he was scared for the reply,

“You mean, Lizzie McGregor? The last time I saw her, it was brutal.” Christine suddenly shuddered at the mention of Lizzie’s name. “No, if it were her, I would have said the witch, bitch, shrew, devil child. No, I meant Mary, the one that had the hots for you.” Julian, laughed when he remembered Mary! “So.” Christine pinched his butt, “Mentioning, her name brings back sweet memories huh?” “Hmmm, Christine you are jealous, thank you!” “Very, funny, I got you, you see no one else.” Then she said, in a deep Texas accent, “I ain’t scared a losing you, lover, you is mine, from now until eternity.” Julian laughed so hard he almost fell from the bed, “Oh Chris, you should see your face, while you were twanging, so funny!” “Anyways, joker he has freed some, slaves from the McClelland, estate as well. I can just see the look on that pig’s face, when he notices that some of his slaves are missing.” Julian said, “You still, shudder at the thought of Paul’s name, don’t you.” “Yeah, I remembered, that last time, when I vomited and fainted. Oh God, let’s not talk about that beast.” She paused and then sighed heavily. “Chris, what’s the matter?” “Jules, I broke down and told Blake of our sometimes horrible financial situation.” Julian, suddenly, felt his stomach tensing up; he hated the fact that as a man; he cannot support his family as he wanted to. “Julian, don’t worry, you are starting to get that look. I love you and will stick with you through good times and bad. We may be heading to good times soon; if all goes well; according to Blake’s plan.” “What do you mean, good times?” “Blake saw my designs and loved them; he said that he knows the bank manager of First Royal on 24th Ave. He said, if I present a good business plan to the bank, I may secure a loan to start my own design house! Isn’t that wonderful?” “Blake to the rescue again, when will you start on the business plan?” “Sweetie, I haven’t agreed to his offer as yet. I told him, I wanted to discuss his proposal with you first. We are a team remember?” “Christine, your time is being stolen from you at Charlotte’s, you work so hard for her, bringing back money to her company, and still she pays you pittance and refuses time and time again, to make you partner. Please accept Blake’s proposal.” “You know, that I will have to resign my position at Charlotte’s in order to establish this business. It may fail; then what will we do?” Julian, confidently replied, “Christine, failure is not a word, that each of us are acquainted with; and now is not the time, to familiarize, ourselves with it. We have gone through hell to be together. You have natural talent, don’t worry you will succeed.” Christine, gleefully kissed him and said, “Oh, thank you, thank you! I will call him first thing tomorrow with our decision!” The next day she contacted Blake and advised him, they both have accepted his proposition. She told him that she needed time, to draft the business plan. She needed time to decide on the staffing, materials etc. Blake also received a telephone call from Julian, he was happy to hear Julian’s voice, “Julian, my son it’s so good to hear from you; how are you doing?” “Blake, I missed our little talks, I am fine. I called to thank you for coming to Christine’s and I rescue, again. I guess she has already called and accepted your offer. I can’t thank you enough.” “You are welcomed! I keep reminding you two that you are like my children, and little Joshua is like my grand-child. I will do anything for your family, you know that.” Julian, felt his insides warm, his head throbbed with happiness. Blake has always been there for his little family; never ceased to assist them. Started from the night, he gave them a lift in his carriage and until now. Blake is like the father he never had, always encouraging him, to continue studying, when he felt like giving up. “Julian, one more thing; I will be loaning or giving whatever you prefer, you both some money.

Chris told me you both have been struggling; I am very disappointed in you two. You should have come to me for help.” “Blake, we can’t accept your money, Chris and I will be fine; you have done so much for us already.” “Julian...” “Blake, I feel so useless sometimes, you know its Chris’s income that sustains us most of the time. Now you want me to take your money.” Julian’s voice broke; he made a wounded sound as if he were in tears. Blake softly spoke, “Jules are you okay?” “Yes, yes I am fine.” “Jules, I won’t take no for an answer, and I will be offended if you don’t accept the money.” Julian; knew he was fighting a losing battle and reluctantly said, “Oh, alright but I will pay you back, every last penny ok I swear.” “Okay. Come to the house today and I will give you a cheque to deposit in your bank account. I will talk with you later.” “Thank you Blake, I will be there later today. Bye.”

“Julian, it is so good to see you again, come here and give this old man a hug!” He gave Julian a fatherly hug, and kissed the sides of his face. “Blake, it’s so good to see you, we all missed you.” “Well, I missed you all too, and my visit is short-lived as I will be going to Virginia, soon on another rescue mission. I hope Christine is working on her business plan as I will need to go with her to First Royal in two days.” Julian hugged his body and felt warm at the mention of Christine’s name. “Hmmm don’t worry Blake; I am sure my darling is working hard at outlining her business plan. I can picture her working through her lunch break” “I know, your wife is a hard worker; she never fails at anything she does, does she?” “No, she succeeds at everything.” Blake, walked across the room and poured Julian a drink, “Jules, this is a bottle of vintage wine, you want some. It’s quite a fine wine.” “Just a small amount as I will be driving our carriage back, plus I will have
