Chapter 17 -- Vacation!!!
Sandy did eventually get with Gina a few hours later to explain her concerns, give out her advice, and promised her that they would not lose her number anytime soon, but it would be a few days as they were going on vacation.
Gina had given them both a hug and kiss and left. She noticed that Jezebel was absolutely glowing this morning. She thought there was a good chance she would murder anyone who ruined that mood. Then she giggled at herself, overprotective much?
She had been learning from Cat and studying the stones Cat helped her make. She felt pretty confident she could now transport them just about anywhere without accidentally plopping them in space, or the sun. The one catch is she had to be there first before being able to transport there, it had to do with absorbing all the facts of the area they were going to transport too, such as gravity strength, elevation, and atmospheric pressure. It also depended on their relation to the earth's electromagnetic field and a variety of other conditions.
Regardless if they went somewhere she had never been, well they would have to fly, at least there anyway. She was a both glad and a little disappointed that Daniel and Natalie couldn't come with them. But someone had to stay and mind things while they were gone.
She was busy packing, using magic. Folding clothes was a good way to work on fine control, plus, she really hated doing that the normal way. Almost as bad as vacuuming. Jez was on the phone talking to Daniel one last time before they left, she finished up packing as Jez hung up the phone and joined her in the bedroom.
=============================
Jez groaned, "Well Dee, some good news and some bad news."
Sandy tilted her head, "What love?"
Jez smiled and said, "Daniel suggested we go down to Jamaica to one of those all inclusive resorts, lots of free alcohol and food, plus swim up bars in the pools, and of course a number of water sports in the crystal clear water. Plus the Arch down there is a young Female angel, relatively young anyway. She is about 250 years old."
Sandy grinned, "That sounds awesome, we can get wasted swimming in our bikinis then go parasailing! What exactly is the bad news?"
Jezebel grimaced, "Apparently I am important, and I will be treated like a 'Head of State' and part of our vacation must be to visit the Arch down there. It's either that or we go somewhere in North America and try to hide from my own Angels for a while...
"The Arches name is Patricia, Daniel just got done briefing me and I am supposed to use her name as an equal."
Making an uncomfortable face she continued, "But umm... You are required to address her by title. At least the first time you meet, it is up to her to lower the protocol level since I am visiting. Still, it might be worth it for the weather and beaches. It's getting Cold here in NY."
Changing the subject she said, "Daniel also told me that the Elven clan with my contract called and verified it was removed with the death of Samuel. So we are good there."
Jezebel shook off the depressed feeling that tried to take hold when thinking about early yesterday. Instead she focused on how fun last night had been with Gina. She loved setting humans on the sexual path they were meant to walk, destroying their self built suppression of their natural inclinations due to societies prejudice. That her love Sandy enjoyed it as much was a gift.
She smiled at Sandy and said, "Natalie said there would be reservations in our name at the ticket counter for Jamaican air at JFK, are we packed already?"
When she saw Sandy nod she said sultrily, voice dripping with the promise of pleasure, "We still have two hours before the limo Nat set up picks us up for the airport..."
===============================
Jez smiled as they pulled into the hotel in the shuttle for the resort. The flight had actually been fun, Jamaican air a little more friendly then other airlines, with their exotic dress and speech. The hotel was gorgeous. She also counted about 5 full bars on the way to the rooms, one set up next to a hot tub of all things.
She couldn't wait for later tonight when the bars and parties would start. Before the parties however they were expecting a limo to pick them up shortly for this evening, for a dinner with the local Arch. Daniel had assured her this Arch was nothing like the stuffy lazy ass she had met and fought with in California. She couldn't help but be a little nervous anyway.
They got out some nice sundresses, and some low heeled shoes, and did their makeup. The dress code was more relaxed here apparently, so no cocktail dresses required. Despite the simple dress Sandy looked stunning and if Sandy's eyes were any judge so did she.
They headed out when it was time, the limo driver a pixie blonde angel with a smile on her face holding a sign that had her name on it. She actually did a double take, a smiling angel? Intrigued she walked over to meet this cute petite Angel and before she could say hi....
"Arch Andrews, a pleasure to greet you and your companion Sandy," she said her smile widening as she opened the back door for them, "Please get comfortable, fix yourself a drink. It's a fifteen minute drive to the Arch's compound."
Bemused they got into the limousine. Jezebel fixed them a couple of crown and cokes as the driver got in and headed off. Curiously she opened a silver cigarette case that was next to the scotch. Her nose was filled with the smell of marijuana. She giggled as she realized this must be the mysterious source of their driver's smile and lack of the normal Angel uptightness.
For a second she wished it was legal in the US, her Angels really needed to loosen up a bit.
They finished sipping their drinks down as they pulled into a large compound with high walls. It was beautifully maintained with bushes and trees. There was also a gazebo in the middle of a flower garden surrounded by 3 fountains. There was a nearby pool and she saw a beautiful woman with a deep tan lying on a poolside reclining chair.
She had long brown hair which was unusual for an Angel, most of them being blonde. Her eyes were also not the usual ocean blue but a lighter azure green. Her eyes twinkled as she looked up and the driver introduced her.
"Arch Andrews, may I present you to Arch Patricia Rosado."
The look on Patricia's face was inscrutable as the driver walked over and stood by her side, making it apparent that she was not a simple chauffeur.
Jezebel inclined her head and said, "Patricia, a pleasure to meet you."
Sandy bowed a bit and said respectfully, "Arch, a pleasure for me as well."
Jezebel waited, watching Patricia's unreadable face as the silence stretched into seconds. Then Patricia's transformed and burst into a smile as she started laughing.
"Next time I talk to Daniel on the phone I will yell at him for you, yes?
"He has been down here many times and knows we do not stand on the ridiculous ceremony that most Arch's do. Here in my province we are more relaxed, please, you must both call me Trisha. This is Rose my second. And it is a pleasure to meet you both for me as well."
Jezebel opened her mouth, then closed it. After briefly considering killing her second and lover, she started to giggle and said, "That ass, Ill fix him too," with a wink and a twinkle in her eyes.
"Please, call me Jez and this is Sandy."
Patricia rose and said, "Shall we eat?"
She guided them around a winding path to the back of the mansion, passing many small pools and gardens. When they reached the back there was about 50 angels, all in shorts and t-shirts. There were also servants who were dressed down, but all in the same color black shorts and green shirts. They were cooking up steaks, burgers, hot dogs and chicken on a large outdoor brick barbeque.
Jezebel also noticed there was two full bars set up and about 5 circles of a few angels each passing a joint around the circle.
She thought about her stuffy Angels that looked like they carried poles in their asses and was just left speechless.
Trisha giggled at the look on Jezebel's face and said, "Yes, when I took over this area from the last Arch, all my Angels too looked like they had been sucking a lemon for the last millennium. As you can see over the last 40 years or so I have been trying to get them to have actual fun. I think I did well, did I not?"
