Dyland, you planned this.

Dyland came over and got the gift we brought him from Paris, he said wow a book by French poet Victor Hugo, he's been wanting this book for a long time. My brother has an old soul, not many kids his age is into poetry.

Thanks both of you, and I have something for you guys too, here, James asked what's this, I told him it's an invitation to a dinner party tonight, hosted by me at the Ole Pink House restaurant, he asked me what's this about. I told him he'll find out, and I told Cecil I'm beginning to know my brother, make sure he's there. And don't let him talk you out of bringing him.

I will Dyland, but can't you tell me what this is all about, again he said we'll find out later, he dabbed us up and left, I said to James, I wonder what Dyland is up to, he said with Dyland who knows. I just said that for James's sake, I know what's going on.

 Cecil, I hope he didn't spend his money on us, he said whatever it cost him to get the Ole Pink House, he'll pay for it, I told him no, I'll pay for it, he's, my brother. The doorbell rang, I answered the door, it's Parker, he said welcome home how was Paris, I told him to come in and Paris was great, we sat down. Parker said he knows where still in our honeymoon stage of our marriage, but I have to go out of town tonight.

Parker this isn't a good time, my brother has planned a dinner party for us tonight, he said he knows, and I can go after the dinner party is over. I said if he knows about the party, then he knows what this party is about. 

I laughed, James, Dyland told me you might ask me about the dinner party, and I'm not telling you, now just be surprised, Dyland's worked hard to do this for you, and he did it all by himself. Here take this it tells where you're going, and what needs to be done, my jet will be on standby when you're ready to go. I would take the assignment, but I already promised Jeff, I'd take him to Jamaica, we haven't been away in a long time, I'll see you when we get back. Nice seeing you again Cecil, you made my boy a very happy man, before James showed me out, Liz came over to me and said it's nice seeing me again with my sexy self, I told her it's always a pleasure seeing her, she said I got that right.

Liz, don't you have work to do, she said now she has another bossman around here that she has to answer to, she walked back into the living room, Parker said that Liz is something else. Sometimes she can be too much, anyway, Parker about this assignment, he said before I say it, read what's in the envelope it will tell me everything, he'll see us at the party.

 I walked to my car and drove away; James knows I don't ask him to do anything I wouldn't do myself.

Parker drove off, I closed the door, and walked into the living room, I apologized to Cecil about having to leave, he said it's my job, and he's sure I'll make it up to him, when I get back, Liz is pretending to be dusting, what she's really doing is ease dropping on us. I heard her saying something, as she's pretending to dust, I asked her did she say something.

Well, since you asked Mr. James, I said maybe you should go away for a while and give bossman a rest, he's not a young man and that thing between your legs will have the bossman wearing depends before he's forty, bossman Cecil was drinking water and spilt it, I told bossman to clean that up I walked out of the room.

James, tell me Liz didn't just say that, he said she did, and me of all people should be used to her saying what she feels, Liz is at the age that she doesn't have a filter on what she says. She came back in the room and told us she's going shopping for a new dress, since we're all going out to dinner no need for her to cook, James asked her if she's coming with us, she said of course she is Dyland gave her an invitation too, she left.

I bet Liz knows what's going on, James said I know her better than he does, do I think she'll tell us, I said she won't tell. And since Liz is gone, and you won't be here tonight, James said say no more and he took my hand and we walked to the back of the house, and out the sliding doors, we got undressed and had wild sex by the pool.
