One Magical Winter

Chapter 41

            Adam held Cassie's hand as they went down to dinner. Megan was waiting for them when the elevator door opened. 

           "I'm glad that you finally decided to come out of your room, mom." Adam laughed as Cassie blushed a little. Megan knew her mom so well.

           "Megan, stop embarrassing her. You know how these two are whenever they get a chance to be by themselves," Tim had said, making them both blush this time. Jenika had to elbow him in the side.

             "Leave them alone, Tim. Let's go eat."

            "Oh, before I forget, Ericha is in the dining room with some guy. I have warned her to stay away from you."

           "Austin already told us about it. I'm sorry that I missed seeing that," Adam tells her. "You are going to make a great daughter." They follow Megan into the dining room and sit at their usual table in the corner. All five couples look over the menus.

           "Mom, would you like a glass of your favorite wine? It will go good with the raviolis that I know are your favorite."

             "I think that I will have the same," Adam tells her. 

             "That sounds good. Now, what's this I hear about my favorite dessert?" Cassie asks her.

             "I should've known that Austin couldn't keep it a secret." Megan glares at Austin playfully. "There are plenty of eclairs, mom. Try not to horde them this time." She laughs as her mom scowls at her. "You know it's true, mom. We all know how you get when you are around chocolate."

              "I still remember her idea about chocolate men," Jenika laughs. "That was sure a fun night, wasn't it, Tim?"

             "It was for me," Adam says. "It made me appreciate Cassie's obsession with chocolate. Maybe next time we can try ice cream or strawberries with the chocolate." He winks at Cassie. None of the group notices that Ericha is at a table that isn't too far, listening to the conversation. Cassie happens to look up and catches her eye. She smirks at the younger woman. She then leans over and whispers into Adam's ear.

            "We are being watched. How do you want to play this?" Adam pulls back to look into her eyes. He sees the mischievous look in them. Cassie usually shies away from doing too much in public. There have only been a few rare occasions and those were only around their friends. He moaned inwardly when he felt Cassie's hand on his leg.

           "Oh oh, I know what that look means," Tim says. Adam leans over to tell Tim what Cassie noticed. Tim just laughed out loud. The message was relayed to the whole group quietly. Sami whispered to Cassie. 

           "I knew there was a reason I liked you. Don't let that bitch get to you. Maybe you should give her the same show that you gave Stephen a few months ago."

          "You know what, Sami? That doesn't sound like a bad idea."

          "What are you two talking about?" Chance asked.

          "Oh, nothing. I just suggested to Cassie that they should do what they did on the beach when Stephen was watching." She had to laugh when Chance looked at her in shock. 

           "I even have to admit that that had been pretty hot," Austin said. "However, I think that our girls were expecting us to perform the way Adam had. I don't know if I want Oleana watching that again."

            "Maybe they should just do something here on the table," Jenika suggested between her laughter.

          "Oh my god. Stop it, guys," Cassie said laughing. She smiled as the food was brought out. Sh digs in to her raviolis.
