I made it to the cafΓ©` without getting lost too many times and I asked for a table outside so I could enjoy the wonderful weather and smells coming from the other stores and not to mention the eye candy walking by.
As usual I was making lists of things I needed to get accomplished and muttering to myself as was my habit, when I heard someone say "Excuse me but can I ask as to why you feel the need to lists while talking to yourself instead of watching all the eye candy walking by?"
I looked up and saw a short petite dark haired woman talking to me with a man who looked like her bodyguard standing beside her. I smiled and told her while looking at her that without my lists I wouldn't get a bloody thing accomplished before I started to work and that yes I had heard about the famous nola eye candy and that I did plan on enjoying the sights.
"By the way," I said "My name is Morgan Moon and as you can tell I am new here and while I don't mind renting from Jeni I would like a place of my own and was wondering if you new of any that were up for sale?"
My new friend said that she didn't know of any places off hand but that she would keep and eye out for me and that she would give me a buzz when she found any thing.
I said to her "Thanks and I didn't catch your name. Do you mind telling me yours?"
She laughed "Sorry I keep forgetting that you're new to the town and don't know us by sight. My name is Sid or Darkling as the sisters have named me and this giant of a man behind me is Gabe."
"How did the chamomile tea and candied ginger work for you?" I asked. I looked at Gabe and said "Did you do a good job on painting Sid's house and are you taking good care of her?"
He looked at me and said "So I have you to thank for that additional chore on top of what the sisterhood had decided was my lot for my so called misdeeds."
"Yep," I said with a grin, "I see you're non the worse for it are you?" He said, "paybacks are a bitch you know and I do plan on getting mine." I said, "if you think you can then bring it. I know that I am safe at the temple cause you wouldn't dare piss the priestess off. I don't know who's more vindictive Jeni or Cody." Gabe grinned down at me and said "I didn't say it had to be me doing the payback now did I? This way you won't know when it's coming or from who." "You're good. I'll give you that you almost had me worried there for a second. But here's the kicker I know that all your friends round here are scared or the sisterhood and what would happen to them if the piss them off."
Gabe said " yeah your right none of my friends round here would even attempt it so I know that I am gonna have to call in a favor for this payback. I'll have to think long and hard on this one. You caused me unnecessary work that day. " As he was talking I noticed this guy walking by and I damn near had a heart attack. He looked just like the guy from my dream. The one dream that I have yet to be able to get to the finishing part because I always get woke up before I can get off. Gabe finally noticed that I wasn't looking at him and turned to see what had captured my attention so completely. When he saw who it was a big grin spread across his face because this was just too perfect. That was one of his friends and now he knew Morgan's weakness. He had noticed that she had gripped the table like it was her only anchor to this world and her eyes had widened like she had seen a ghost. Jimmy hadn't said that he had met anyone when he was down in Georgia but then jimmy was always closed mouthed about his women that maybe had something to do with the fact that they normally went after the same woman.
Gabe hollered out, "Hey Jimmy, long time no see or hear. Why didn't you let me know you were in town and I would have let you come stay with me and Sid or you can get a room at the temple of fire from the priestess Jeni. I'm sure that she wouldn't mind the extra income .'
Jimmy turned when he heard his name hollered out and when he saw that it was his old friend Gabe he couldn't believe his good luck. Not only could Gabe help him find a place to stay while he was here but just maybe he could help him find this one woman that he had let slip right through his fingers. He was tormented with dreams of this woman that had him at a constant state of arousal and he was surly as a bear that had just woken up out of hibernation.
He saw that Gabe was standing next to this short petite pregnant dark haired woman and that they were talking to another woman that was sitting at a table on the sidewalk it looked like she was waiting for her order and that Gabe and this other woman were making plans of some kind with her and he didn't want to intrude but he needed to talk to Gabe about getting his help. He walked over to Gabe and said "You hollered for me. What do you need? And yes it had been along time since we have spoken. A lot has changed and yet some things never change. Isn't one woman enough for you or do you do threesomes now?"
Gabe said, "Now don't get your dander up, Jimmy. I am looking after Sid until she had the baby because she had a temper and she has made a lot of enemies and I and the sisters feel that she could use the extra help. But I wanted to talk to you about getting some payback on someone a little later. If you are looking for a place to stay you could always stay with Sid and myself or you could stay at the temple of fire renting a room from the priestess Jeni. I am sure that she wouldn't mind the extra income and it would kill two birds with two stones. You would have a place to stay and it would be the starts on that payback I was talking about. Now what were you needing my help for?"
Jimmy said, "Well I am looking for this woman that I met on my yearbook social site. You know the one I told you about. The one I let slip right through my fingers because by the time I realized what she meant to me she had already moved to here so now I am here looking for her. I saw that she said that she was coming to the cafΓ©` after getting settled in her room and I was hoping to catch her off guard and finally get to meet her and tell her exactly how I feel."
Gabe noticed Morgan's jaw drop and he finally put two and two together. Morgan and Jimmy's mystery woman were the one and the same person and he was betting that Morgan wanted to keep the fact that she was the he was looking for under wraps for now because he knew for a fact that Jimmy hadn't told her on the website that he was a squire that she was thinking that she was somehow gonna keep him safe by keeping him in the dark.
Gabe said, "Where are my manners? Jimmy this young lady sitting at the table is Morgan Moon and she has just arrived in town and Sid and I know her from the boards and she is the reason that I had to paint Sid's house to go along with all the other things that the sisters had decided I needed to do as penance for my misdeed."
