CHAPTER 6
Beau Makes Fabian a Happy Man
*** Beau invites Fabian over for dinner to help him find a potential assistant for Archie. Dessert is definitely the icing on the cake for Fabian. ***
It was Monday and I did not waste time contacting Fabian. If there is ever someone that is on a look out for potential, French lovers, it would be him. He is quite particular and not one to go out with anyone that easily. I had told him to come over for dinner this evening.
As I was stirring my mash with butter, herbs and garlic in one small pot, the chicken was sizzling in another pan. Then I heard a knock on the door. It must be Fabian.
"Ahh welcome, Fabian! Come in. Come in."
"Thank you, Beau. Ooooh the smell is intoxicating. What are you making tonight?"
"Chicken Francaise, mash made creamy and smooth the way you like it, a tomato salad and some cheese assortment."
"Ooooohh... That sounds magnifique! I have brought you a bottle of Bordeaux."
"Thank you kindly. I can not wait to try it. In the mood for a Vouvray tonight?
"That sounds lovely. Let me open it for you."
"Thank you. Please have a seat. I will bring dinner out shortly."
"What are we having for dessert?"
"I had made a citrus trifle that I hope you will enjoy."
"I am sure that I will mon amie. Oooh la la! That is a beautiful cheese assortment and colorful tomatoes. You are tickling my taste buds tonight, Beau. Mmmm..."
"I hope everything is made well enough for you tonight."
"It looks wonderful so far. This must be a tall favor you ask of me, oui?"
"Oui. You are good, Fabian."
"I am sure you would cook me some beef bourguignon if you had the time before asking me this favor."
"Yes, I would. That dish will have to wait another day. How good that would be on a cold night with toasted baguette and a touch of butter."
"Oooohh... You make me drool for that mon amie. Now what is it I can do for you?"
"Archie is looking for an assistant to work for him. He has been over worked and I want him to have someone that can help him out with more than office work alone."
"Go on. Mmm... Fromage, mon amie, come to me always. Mmm..."
"Do you always make such love to your food?"
"Why of course. Only to food that is good. Mmm..."
"I want someone for Archie to not only help him with his office work, but also able to run errands for him and do more than massage his tense shoulders each night."
"Oh?"
"He needs to relax more. I want him to have someone that can take care of him and would not mind dating an older gentleman."
"How much older are we speaking of, Beau?"
"I know he wants someone half his age. In their early 20's would be nice. Someone who is keen on detail to help him in the office well enough and know what he likes at home. He has a house with a few rooms. I am sure he would let this young lad live with him."
"Hmmm... I think there is someone that will work out. He is currently staying with a friend of mine while looking for work in town. I know he would like to be in some sort of work dealing with design, fabric and decorating. Shall I send him to your place tomorrow?"
"Yes. Yes, indeed. How long has this young fellow been in the area?"
"It has been half a year. He has been working back and forth in Paris and here over the years. It seems he is willing to settle here for a while if he can find the work he needs to pay his living cost."
"This is splendid to hear. Please enjoy yourself."
"Merci, mon amie. Mmm..."
I could not help to undress him with my eyes as he kept moaning with every bite. He continues to do this all night and the dessert I will be having tonight will not be the citrus trifle or any other fruit than the one on his slightly chiseled body. Oooohh...
"I would like to unbutton my shirt if you do not mind, Fabian."
"Why would I mind that?
Can I do the same?"
"Yes, of course. You are my guest. I want you to feel comfortable."
As I was chewing on the chicken, I would glance at his beautiful body. He is only a year older than I am, but sometimes he is much more mature and wiser than his physical age. This I find very appealing in a man.
Finally at the end of the meal before dessert, he was still nibbling on some cheese and sipping his glass of wine. I could not handle it any more and said that I wish he would not moan in that way.
"How else do you want me to show my love for food?"
"Your moaning is driving me crazy, Fabian."
