Part 20
Nearing completion on renovating a bar and focused on starting a sex club.
What, OR Who's next?
I hope you enjoy reading as much as I did creating.
Chapter 48
8 am, the workers are moving freshly painted chairs and tables back into place. Fresh baking smells delicious. Security guy is running tests on the surveillance system. We grab a coffee, and croissant and take a seat.
"Next weekend, O, we'll take a couple days away; what should we do? Vegas, Banff, Paris, Amsterdam; stay in bed, spa day? Picnic, mani-pedi, you choose."
"I do have a place in mind Erin. Will you trust me, I'll arrange everything, it'll be a surprise, I'll pack, drive, you can totally relax."
"Ok, but a hint, to be sure I'm not against it?"
"A rustic lodge in the woods, edge of a lake, I know you'll like it. Friday supper by the fire, make love under the stars. Saturday we can stay in bed, or go for a hike to the nearby waterfalls, maybe a naked swim, a canoe excursion on the lake. Have supper prepared right in front of us. Sunday, the spa, massage. Fine dining. We can spend all the time we want in bed, on the floor, in the grass, on the beach, nude or not."
"Ok, book it, that sounds fun, sexy and relaxing."
Sitting in the fresh, bright cafΓ©, shiny black and white checkerboard floor, red and white chairs and tables, red curtains, white walls. I don't see anything needed except happy, smiling customers.
Moving into the bar, I survey the tan walls, white wainscoting, not your old fashioned, dull, dark bar, but an uplifting, bright feeling. Hmm, I text, Carl, Bernice, and Odette to meet me.
"I'm incredibly happy with the cafΓ©. I'm thinking maybe laser lights in here, synchronized with the music, mostly on the ceiling but every so often a lightning flash of bright white, a distraction around the room. What do you think?"
"Absolutely love it," Bernice says, Carl nods.
"Everyone on board with opening Monday?"
"Bar and CafΓ© are ready, let's go for it."
"Steve, I'm calling a staff meeting for 2. You ready to open Monday."
"We're ready." He answers.
"We'll soon need a dishwasher/prep person. I know someone."
"Go ahead, call, have him meet me."
"Great."
I text Claire, Terry, Jenny, Josie: Staff meeting Sunday @ 2.
All reply positive.
A young fellow, with a man bun walks in.
"Erin?"
"I'm Erin."
"I'm Cory, Steve called me, I'm an experienced kitchen helper."
"Steve's in the kitchen through there."
I arrange a meeting later today for a quote to
install a light show,
Steve and Cory return and sit.
"Erin, with Cory helping we can handle anything with some forefront planning."
"Will you commit to a year Cory?" I ask.
