"What college did you go to?" the man asked when he ordered his next drink.
He was well-dressed, and I noticed him and his partner, a woman I guessed to be a little older than him, the second they walked into the bar. It was a quiet night, and having worked here for years to help Mom pay rent, I knew that these two were new to the area. I liked them immediately and was glad it wasn't busy. We struck up a conversation about trading when I found out that he did it for a living. I was blown away by his knowledge, but I had formulated a new strategy and made a decent amount of change over the past year with Bitcoin.
"Google Tec," I answered, being a bit of a smartass.
"You learned all that off the internet?"
"I mined a bit of Bitcoin then lost most of it day trading like a blind man. I decided I needed to work out how to do it properly. So, I spend about an hour each night after I get home learning what I can. It's really so my mom and I can live more comfortably. I'm a bit of a 'mommy's boy', or so I've been told," I said with a nervous chuckle, serving them another round.
"My name is Bernie Noble, and this is Loise. I would love to talk to you and your mom about trying out this theory of yours and doing it on a larger scale than your few coins. But we will have to come up with a business plan to go before the board," Bernie said, surprising me.
"I'm Troy," I moved to shake his hand. "I'm just amazed that you are even interested, because this is only a very new asset class," I said, really blown away, but realizing this could just be the alcohol talking.
"Here is my card. Ring me tomorrow, but not too early. I may be late getting up after drinking and talking to you for half the night. Loise, let's go back to the hotel," Bernie said and kissed her as they made their way out of the door.
I put the card safely in my wallet, even though I was skeptical. Hopefully Bernie would remember talking to me in the morning. When I got home after midnight, Mom was still awake and made me a snack before bed. I sat watching her walk around the kitchen in her old and very thin nighty. I don't think she realized that I could make out every curve of her body, but I was mesmerized by her breasts swaying unrestrained under the thin cloth. I shook my head, trying to get the unholy thoughts to go away.
"Hi Bernie, it's Troy from last night. You said to ring; I hope it's not too early?" I asked hoping I wasn't making a fool of myself.
"Hi Troy. I rarely give out my card like that, and yes, I was hoping you would call. You already passed my litmus test by ringing when you said you would. We are in town for another two days. When can we have lunch or dinner with you and your mom?" Bernie asked, relieving some of my anxiety.
"Either night," I answered, so happy he remembered our conversation, and I was looking forward to picking his brain over dinner.
"OK, tonight it is. I will send a car for you at seven. It's OK to dress casually. We are in a private dining room, so text me your address," Bernie said, making decisions quickly and decisively; I liked that.
I sent a message to Mom, and she panicked. I think she thought Bernie was joking with me, and I was half on her side. Mom got off a little early and put on some makeup and did her hair. She then dressed in her best dress; it was a black number that only came a few inches below the bottom of her ass. She came out of her room just as the car beeped his horn outside.
"You look stunning, Mom," I said, and I was not lying, not even a bit.
She smiled and took my hand as we made our way to the car. Mom was trying to be lady-like getting in, but her short dress rode up as she had one foot in the car and the other out. I was holding the door for her and got an eyeful of panties. I should have looked away, but her head was inside the car so she couldn't see me looking. And it was such a lovely sight.
When we got to the restaurant, we were guided back to a private room and found Bernie and Loise waiting for us. Bernie introduced Loise and himself to Mom, and I did the same.
"This is my mom, Jenelle. She is responsible for raising me," I said proudly as I'd always been so impressed by my single mom doing it all by herself.
"Hello Jenelle. I'm Bernie and my better half Loise," He gestured toward the petite brunette. "Please, have a seat," Bernie pulled out a chair for Mom.
"Hi Jenelle. I thought Bernie passed the word that this was casual tonight?" Loise said with a smile.
"Sorry, I only have the one going out dress; it was either this or torn jeans and a t-shirt," Mom said, looking a little embarrassed.
"Well, you look beautiful, doesn't she, Troy? I can't believe how young she looks!" Loise said, putting me on the spot.
"Yes, she definitely does," I replied without hesitation. "And well, that's because she is young. She was a teenager when she had me," I looked at Mom's breasts bouncing as she laughed, then I looked back to Loise to find her staring right at me.
Loise just smiled and called over the waiter to take the orders. I was a little worried as the menu didn't have prices listed, but I made a mental list of the highest prices I could think of. We were racking up quite a bill.
"I'm picking up the tab Troy, so order whatever you like," Bernie said when he saw my worried look.
As we sat around after dessert, Bernie put his arm around Loise and started playing with her hair. Mom was giggling at whatever Loise and her were discussing. Bernie straightened up, and his hand disappeared under the table as we continued our conversation. Mom didn't seem to notice, but years of seeing couples do things at the bar, I had a sixth sense about it.
"OK, Troy and Jenelle, we need to get serious here. I have a proposition for you both. I want to try out Troy's theory on a larger scale, and I need someone to run it, acquire the Crypto and secure it, so it doesn't disappear on us. We will pay you a good salary with food and accommodation, and if things work out the way I hope they will, you could be offered a place within the group," Bernie said. I was waiting for him to smile and give the joke away, but he kept a straight face.
"What's the catch?" I asked, knowing this was too good to be true.
"There are a few catches, but the first is this." Bernie pulled out two sets of paperwork and handed it to Mom and me. "This is a confidentiality agreement that you both must sign to know any more about our group."
"What is this to do with me?" Mom said, confused.
"Troy will be working long hours and will need someone to keep house for him and tend to his needs. Also, I think you might find it difficult without Troy's income to help with the bills. So, it would just make sense for you to come along," Loise said, smiling at Mom, then me.
"Read the agreements and if you sign, I will continue explaining," Bernie said as he continued playing with Loise under the table.
I read the paperwork, and it didn't look too worrying. I looked over to Mom, who just nodded, and we both signed and pushed the paperwork back.
"Before I start, the people in the group have the resources to prosecute you if you break the agreement you just signed. Are we clear?" Bernie waited for our response, and we both nodded.
"OK, you will need a passport, and we will arrange for your furniture to be put in storage. You won't need a lot of clothes. Oh, that's one of the catches, the Island is owned by the group and is close to the equator, so clothes are optional. I will need your full attention once we get there to set up the accounts and do the buying of the Bitcoin so that our money doesn't push the market up artificially," Bernie said, throwing in the nudity like it was everyday conversation.
"So, we will have to be naked?" Mom asked, her voice going up an octave.
"Clothes are
optional
. I'm saying that because you are going to see couples naked on the island, but you can keep yours on if you like," Loise said simply, and Mom just stared at her with wide eyes.
