As Annie watched Andino walk to his car, she wished they had set a definite date to get together again before she and Greg had to go back to the states to finalize the documentation Attorney Barker needs to make Mrs. Blair's divorce go through without a hitch. Actually, there might not be a reason for her to have to go back immediately. Greg was the one with all the evidence. Today had been one of the best days of her life and she didn't want it to end. Andino waved to her as he got in his car to leave. She turned and went in to find out if Greg was home yet.
Greg was busy printing a copy of the pictures he had taken of Caterina. Annie walked up and looked at the pictures that were laid on the table. "Wow! She is really beautiful." The nude pictures really looked like total works of art with the positioning, body language and background created by the beach rocks.
"I'm putting together a DVD to take with us tonight. I hope her husband is up to seeing his wife's pictures taken by another man. So what did the you mean about being 5000 ft above the ground?"
"Andino is giving me flying lessons. I had my first lesson today. How would you feel about me staying here for a few weeks instead of going back home right a way? I would love to get a few lessons before school starts. You wouldn't believe how easy it is to take off. Landing is going to take a little longer."
"Is it just the flying lessons you want to stay for?"
"Swimming in the nude with a handsome pilot is not bad either."
"Photographing a nude flight hostess wasn't bad either. She and her husband have a great cabana on a secluded beach. Would you stay by yourself in this condo or have you been offered room and board."
"I assume I will stay here. His wife might not mind sharing him for a day or two, but may not be ready for a live in mistress"
"I talked with attorney Barker and outlined what we have in mind for Thursday night to cinch the deal to get Mrs. Blair her divorce. I am planning to fly home on Saturday with Mrs. Barker. It is really convenient their plane has a couple bedrooms. We can get plenty of rest."
"Yea, right! Speaking of Mrs. Barker, Is she still planning to arrive tomorrow?"
Greg responded, "Yes, in fact she is looking forward to watching us in action as we complete the surveillance on Mr. Blair. She said attorney Barker has the papers drawn up and has a court date for the end of next week. He has arranged a meeting with Mr. Blair for next Tuesday. I get to watch the meeting on a TV in the next room. I will make a copy for you, so you can watch him squirm."
Annie handed Greg the memory card from the plane's camera. "Wow! Greg said as he looked at the pictures of the condos. This is great resolution. He made the pictures into a slide show that was fantastic. He also printed a 16 X 20 of the Blair's Villa.
It was soon time to get ready to go to Caterina's for dinner. Caterina had said to dress casually for the evening. Greg was driving this time, so the seats automatically adjusted for he and Annie. They told the voice the address and the voice started giving them the turn-by-turn directions. The voice's final instruction was to turn in between the stone gateposts. The driveway wound through a vineyard and came to stop in front of a large stone building. Caterina came through a large heavy wood door in the front of the building. As they wound their way up the driveway, Annie realized they had taken a picture of vineyard from the air.
"Welcome to our home." She hugged them each and said, "Come meet my husband." They climbed two flights of stairs and stepped into a beautiful open floor plan with high ceiling, lots of windows and beautiful wood floors. They heard footsteps coming toward them and turned to see Andino. Caterina and Andino watched Greg and Annie's reaction. It went from shock to joy.
Annie said "You two are....."
"Yes we are," they both said as they stood with arms around each other."
"Why didn't you tell us that on the plane?" Greg asked.
"Would you have been as willing to satisfy me and let me satisfy you if you knew my husband was on the other side of the door?"
"Probably not." Greg responded.
Greg said, "This is a fascinating building. What is it?"
Andino said, "It was my great grandfather's winery. We still have a great wine cellar. When they went to more modern ways of processing the grapes, the building stood empty for many years. My father decided it would make a great home. He had his offices on the second floor. We use it now as space for our hobbies. I build model airplanes and fly them in competition and Caterina has an art studio there. The first floor is a miniature museum of our family's history in the wine business.
As they were talking Giuseppe came into the room, greeted Annie, Andino and Caterina. "You must be Greg," he said extending his hand in greeting. "I just came to let you know that the appetizers are ready on the balcony."
Caterina kissed Giuseppe on the cheek and said, "You are the best."
