--September 2024--
One late September afternoon, I felt particularly done staring at my computer; each invoice for review blurred into the next. My work was suffering, and I needed to call it a day. I gazed out my office window overlooking the ocean. The sun shone bright and I'm sure it was warm outside.
I shut down my computer and stood to leave. It had been a few days since I got down to the beaches, and while the south beach is always fun with its rampant sex, I wasn't feeling the pressing need for release at the moment. Besides, the north beach, where no sexual activity was allowed, was visited by many friends and acquaintances who never went to the south beach, and they deserve my social attention too. My back ached, so I stretched my arms behind me to release some tension, my bare penis brushing against my desk.
As I entered the elevator, I received a notification from my phone. I took a brief look as the doors closed. My attention was still fuzzy and all I picked up was Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele from the headline. 'Hopefully it's an announcement for a new project they're working on,' I thought, and decided to read it when I got settled at the beach.
I left the elevator at the top of the beach. It was only about half-full, so I decided to meander around and check in with guests. Kiernan Shipka lounged with a couple of friends, her pale washboard abs and pert pink nipples catching some rays. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande sat crosslegged facing each other, deep in conversation, presumably about the upcoming press tour for Wicked. Just the top part of the ass crack showed from their seated position and their small breasts jiggled with every excited hand gesture. Melissa Fumero lounged in a beach chair, reading a book while her family played a few yards away. Kendall Jenner and Timothee Chalamet laid down next to each other dozing in the warm sun.
Finally, I came to a less occupied patch of the beach with only one small family a few feet from the spot I eyed. I could recognize the tattoos up her spine anywhere; this was Riley Reid (though she prefers to use her given name Ashley Mathews when not working) with her husband and child. "Ashley, do you mind if I sit over here?"
She turned to me with her charming smile and said, "Not at all, glad to see you Tim."
As I settled onto the towel I brought, I asked her, "Is your stay going well?"
She nodded. "Absolutely. Nice on occasion to be naked without cameras or gawking."
"Agreed," I said. I remembered the article I was going to look at and pulled out my phone. My jaw dropped as I read it. Turning back to Ashley, I exclaimed, "Did you see that article about Key & Peele?"
Startled, she turned to face me more directly. "What article?"
"This People article about Key and Peele not hanging out very often anymore and how sad Key is about it." I handed her my phone.
A disappointed look crossed her face as she read. "Oh that's too bad. They seemed like such great friends," she said, handing my phone back to me.
As I took my phone, an idea popped into my mind. Chelsea Peretti is married to Jordan Peele, and she could help set something up as a surprise at the resort. And Melissa Fumero might be able to help me get in touch. "I hate to be rude Ashley, but I think I can fix this and I have to go."
Ashley looked dreadfully confused as I grabbed my stuff quickly and walked determinedly back up the beach to talk to Melissa Fumero. She still sat in her beach chair, luscious thick thighs crossed with the hint of black tufts at her crotch. Her arms pressed her tits together as she held a book in her lap, light brown nipples jutting out even further.
"Melissa, could I talk to you about something?"
"Sure, Tim, what's up?" she said in a perky tone.
"Did you see the Variety article about Key & Peele?"
"Ah, that," Melissa said, putting her book down. She uncrossed her legs and leaned in. More of her black bush showed, but her thighs still met so alluringly. "Chelsea has brought that up occasionally over the last year."
My suspicions were confirmed; Chelsea Peretti had discussed how that distanced friendship affected her husband, and by extension, her. "Is Jordan as bothered by it as Keegan?"
"That's been my impression," Melissa confirmed.
A possible plan popped into my mind. "Do you think they would enjoy being here?"
Melissa snorted a brief laugh. "Definitely."
This piqued my curiosity, but it had to wait. "I'm thinking about inviting the two couples here. Would it be OK if I asked you to reach out to Chelsea to contact me?"
"Sure thing, I'll zip her a text today," Melissa said with a smile. "No guarantees, but I think she'll be down."
"Thank you, I hope it won't come across too weird," I said a bit bashfully. "I'm just a fan of all involved, and it seems like such a shame."
"Oh, trust me, she'll appreciate it," Melissa said with a knowing smirk. This intrigued me even further, but I tried to put it out of my mind. It would not be helpful to count my chickens before they hatched, so I tried to focus on unwinding on this beautiful afternoon. Melissa returned to reading her book, and I pulled out mine. She casually brushed my thigh with her foot as we read next to each other, whiling away the afternoon.
That evening, I had an email from Chelsea Peretti waiting for me. Melissa brought up the article, so Chelsea had a good idea what I wanted to talk about and asked to do a call ASAP. I considered what I would offer, then started a video call. She answered after only a couple rings.
I kept my cool, but I was dreadfully nervous. Not only was I letting my personal feelings about Key & Peele sway decisions affecting my business, but I've also always had the hots for Chelsea Peretti since the start of Brooklyn 99. It's absurd she isn't talked about the same way as Melissa Fumero and Stephanie Beatriz in terms of hotness. Her tits and ass are amazing, and I found her unique face incredibly alluring. Her wide smile and aquiline nose draw my attention like no other. Maybe I just have a thing for prominent noses.
"So Melissa mentioned the article, and you have a way to address it?" Chelsea said before I could start. I shouldn't have been surprised; her personality is very forward and commanding, but I was still thrown off-kilter. Seeing her cleavage peaking from the robe she wore wasn't helping the matter.
"Yeah," I stammered out, before recollecting my composure. She smirked at my nervousness as I cleared my throat. "I've been a big fan of Key & Peele since they were on the air, and I thought it a shame that two close friends have drifted apart. I'm sure Jordan saw it?"
Chelsea grimaced. "Yeah, he did. A bit perturbed at that being aired in the open, but does feel the same way."
"Well, I'd like to offer a place to come to to try and rekindle that friendship and patch any feelings this article brought up," I offered. Chelsea started to say something, but I cut her off and continued, "I know time, money, and distance are a concern, particularly for Keegan and his wife. But if there is interest, I would call in a favour to get Keegan out here for no charge, and I would also send a car to drive you up to the resort from LA."
Chelsea had cocked an eyebrow at me stopping her interruption, a small smile indicating her estimation of me had changed. "That all sounds very generous, but what do you get out of it?"
I sat silently for a moment before answering, "Nothing financially. I could make an argument that I'll win you over to become repeat clients, but that's just a rationalization. It's personal, and their performing duo meant a lot to me. They made a joke near the end of their show about which one would be Simon and which Garfunkel, and while it was funny, I'd hate to see the real life animosity and tension of those two develop between Jordan and Keegan. Maybe I'm projecting too much onto it, but that's how I feel."
Chelsea nodded. "I like that answer. Glad you didn't give me some salesman bullshit. As for your resort, Melissa gave me a brief rundown about the place, along with the rumours and gossip I've heard elsewhere."
"Only good things, I hope?"
"Definitely, and I do find the concept intriguing. I see that you're shirtless right now. Are you naked?" Chelsea prodded playfully.
"I am." It was not unusual for clients to flirt, or even to get overtly sexual in these meetings, and I certainly hoped that was the direction this was going.
