Day Six
Cherie left the Pear Tree with Thomas' latest order and made her way to La Petite Chou to deliver it. She wondered if he'd have time for a long "lunch"? She was feeling the need to be with him again, he had a wonderful effect on her. After their previous evening, she'd gone home and practically attacked Irina, they girl-fucked until the wee small hours of the morning.
She walked into the restaurant and was looking around for Thomas. She didn't see him, but auburn-haired Brandi walked over with a big smile on her face.
"Looking for the chief?" Cherie nodded.
"He said to say he's sorry. It's been a nutty morning. First, those newlyweds, the ones he calls the "
Turtledoves
" called and booked us for New Year's. Then, the LeClaire sisters called and said they were short-shipped some of the wine he ordered, so he had to haul it over there. Just as he was about to leave, his Mom & family called -- they seem to cheer him up and he was smiling when he talked to them. About
you
, I think?"
"Really?"
Brandi nodded. "I think he likes you a lot -- you make him smile and I'm happy to see that." Cherie noticed a bittersweet look cross Brandi's pretty features.
"Brandi, what's wrong?" Then, like a bolt of lightning, it hit Cherie. "You're in love with him, aren't you?"
Brandi sighed, determined not to cry. Caroline and Marcus had figured it out, consoling her with some amazing sex that went on for hours, but as hot as it was, Brandi wanted someone for
herself
. She'd thought for a while that it might be Thomas, but it was painfully apparent that he was smitten with Cherie.
"He's a wonderful man Cherie and I'm glad to see him happy. I'll recover, never mind. Hey -- seeing as Thomas isn't here, why don't you and I have lunch?"
Cherie grinned. "That sounds lovely. How about some of Thomas' Goose-Liver pate, made from the special types of Goose, 6 different ones?" Brandi smiled, she'd helped Thomas prepare that, an honor, as it was one of his secrets.
"Sounds good, followed by some of the 5-Ring Pineapple Cake he made?" Brandi enthused. Cherie nodded, it all sounded too good to pass on. So, while Brandi prepared a table for them in the back, Cherie got her coat off and sat down. Brandi looked over at her, dressed in a ankle-length cream skirt and matching sweater, brown boots underneath, and Brandi smiled. "I can see why Thomas is so attracted to you, you're very lovely!" Cherie felt herself blushed, then wondered -- was Brandi into women, like herself and Irina? Hmm -- maybe she could bring a little Christmas joy into
two
people's lives this season.
Brandi came back with a carafe of coffee, warm croissants, sharp Cheddar, dill pickles and the Pate made from the geese of "Six Geese A Layin". Brandi sat down and the girls began their lunch. The two brunettes had a lovely time, finding they had a lot in common. From tiny bits of conversation, Cherie found out that Brandi was a lot more sexually daring then her demure exterior would let on -- although she was sexy enough if one looked past the chef's uniform. Brandi had beautiful eyes and one could tell there were some lovely curves under there.
Once they'd had a few Cognacs, Brandi's tongue loosened a fair bit, but Cherie only sipped hers. Brandi revealed that she'd become highly experimental sexually, once she'd taken off her weight. She'd had a threesome or three with Caroline and Marcus, and another friend, Bryan and his sister, Heather.
Naughteee
, Cherie smiled inwardly.
"Oooh, look at the time!" Brandi exclaimed as she sobered up. "It's nearly 5 PM, we've been eating for nearly 4 hours. Don't you have to get back to work?"
Cherie shook her head. "I can come and go as I please, so I'm done for the day. I kept you all day, I shouldn't have."
Brandi waved her hand. "I had some time coming and Caroline was on top of everything, so no worries. Matter of fact, I think I'm going to call it a day. Can I give you a lift home?"
Cherie smiled. "You okay to drive?" Brandi nodded, she'd sobered up in the last half hour quite nicely. "That'd be lovely, I have to make a phone call -- then I'll be right back, all right?"
Brandi nodded and Cherie went to make her phone call. "
Let this work, let this work, it could be
fun!
" The phone rang on the other end. "Hi Irina baby, how are you? Oh, sorry hun -- but listen, when are you coming home from work? Oh? Well, I thought you and I could have a few drinks ... " Cherie lowered her voice and left no doubt as to what her intentions were. It was all set.
She went back out front, thanked Caroline for the lovely meal she'd helped Brandi prepare and off they went in Brandi's car. Cherie had walked today, so she was happy for the warm car and friendly company.
When they got to Cherie's apartment, Cherie put the wheels in motion. "Brandi, would you like to come in? Thomas is busy still and I'm lonely, come on in and let's have coffee."
Brandi smiled and said "That sounds lovely -- sure, I have nothing planned tonight. Thanks for the invitation."
Brandi was amazed at Cherie's spacious apartment, then she remembered Thomas telling her Cherie had a roommate, a model -- Irene, Irina -- that was it. She guessed the girl wasn't home.
"Regular or Decaf?" Cherie called out from the kitchen.
"Regular -- Decaf is useless flavored brown water!" Brandi smiled.
"Okay, give me a few minutes. Make yourself comfortable Brandi, I'll be right back." Cherie couldn't help but be nervous, but she was going ahead with her plan.
Brandi drank her coffee and was surprised when Cherie came out of the bedroom in a black, flowing negligee. She tried not to stare, but
Lord
, this woman was spectacular. She envied Thomas for being able to sleep with this stunner, she knew they were bedding each other.
Cherie sat down beside Brandi and picked up her steaming mug of Coffee. "I hope you don't mind, but it's warm in here." She crossed her long legs and could feel Brandi's eyes on her ---
