1289 Words
Stella spoke with Cash.
" Hey honey how are you?" Cash asked her.
" Well, it seems your wife needs a divorce, she is having a baby with TJ." she said bluntly.
" Oh, I haven't been a very good husband to her. I'm glad she is getting the love that she deserves, I wonder if it's wise for her to have this baby, with her head injury and all."
" Cash, what are you saying?" Stella was shocked.
" No not that, just... I wished she would have been more careful because a baby seems like a huge undertaking for her right now."
" I agree, she was tearful when she called me, she is scared. TJ is confident though, he will be there for her." Stella said.
" Stella, I miss you. I wanted to surprise you. I'm in Jaipur now. Are you coming here soon?" He said.
" Are you really there, I'm coming then, I will leave in 3 days, I have some business here with Calloway LLC stuff.
Miriam and Teddy have ideas for a new school. I'm very happy about this. There are so many children in the city that need us."
" Okay, I am going to get the home ready for you love, please be ready for me too." He smiled.
" Cash, I'm more than ready for you, I think I might stay in your arms forever." She sighed.
" Stella, I heard there is a movie star shark circling your waters, so to speak.
Please do not invite him here to our special place, promise me dear?"
He was angry just thinking about this jerk. Drake gave him an earful.
" Did Teddy tell you he is here with me now, he met Baraka and I when we got off of the plane.
Oh, Baraka is my personal assistant, you will love him.
He's had some terrible losses recently, his sister and nephew, I want you to take him under your wing my love, give Baraka directions." she told him.
" As you wish my queen. Can you be sure you don't wear a bra when you get off the plane, also those red silk panties I bought you, do you have those?"
" Cash, yes I will. My goodness I'm feeling quite warm, you have missed me, Kira told me you never touched her. It's been while then for you?" She asked.
Stella, all of us men are loyal to you alone, we find ways to release our tension.
The twins are heading to South Carolina to start the racing cup series, they are working together this time, stronger together.
They have now become the Calloway racing team. An homage to our new family name.
And... Sam, he is a workaholic, he is holding the family all together. He makes incredible family dinners.
He seems to be the family chef here, it's amazing what he can do with a cut of meat."
" That's wonderful Cash!"
"Unfortunately for Drake, he won't be happy when he returns home to see that we all took over his beach house.
Stella, we are all very comfortable there and really want to stay near Drake to show him we are true brothers.
My hope is that dad will settle down, we are concerned with dementia, I'm not sure how else to explain his actions towards you my love."
Cash was the patriarch now as the oldest brother, he would lead the boys going forward.
" Cash you are a strong leader. We need to stay strong together.
I will try to finish up here as soon as possible my love, yes red panties and no bra, heard big guy." She giggled.
" Bye dear see you very soon." He ended the call and called the florist.
He was filling the back yard with beautiful arrays of roses and flowers.
Cash had the fine bed linen refreshed and was heading to the market for fresh fruits and foods that Stella liked.
He smiled, it was the small touches he knew that she would enjoy the most.
Jacob was nearby, he was listening in.
" Stella, are we friends now?" He asked as he took her fully ringed hand, scanning them for room.
He found and empty finger and circled it with his finger.
" I bought you something, just a little token of my interest in you, maybe our friendship?" He smiled.
She pursed her lips and looked confused.
" What are you saying here, tell me your heart asshole."
He smiled at her.
Jacob slid a gold ring on her right ring finger. It was a circle of elephants between thin gold bands.
Stella looked at it and fat tears fell down her cheeks.
She looked up at him then hugged him tightly.
"This is so special to me, you really thought about this didn't you?" She looked up at him in wonderment.
" Yes, I wanted you to remember where we first met.
I mean as your friend right?"
He wanted so much more, he was falling hard for this beautiful woman who didn't even know her own beauty.
She was confident, yet shy at times. Loud and strong, then quiet and gentle.
She constantly surprised him. She was generous and protective. He wanted to be kept under her spell.
" Jake, I will cherish this ring." She touched his cheek and kissed it.
He turned at the last minute and captured her lips.
She was surprised at his kiss, she wasn't laughing this time.
She saw him a bit differently now. He was being genuine, not just a horny movie star.
" Thank you Jacob Harris. We will be good friends indeed."
He picked her up and spun her around. "You make me happy Stella, this divorce doesn't hurt so much with you around me."
She didn't know how to tell him that she was leaving very soon and he wasn't invited.
" Jake, I have several boring meetings coming up. My charity stuff.
I wonder if you could go to Los Angeles and take care of your marraige ending and I will see you in California?" She asked him, unfortunately giving him false hope of a love relationship with him.
He looked at her and nodded.
" You don't date married men right?" He said hopeful.
" Oh, Jake...just go to LA for now and work on you." She told him.
" I will, I am going to come out of this so much stronger!" He smiled. He kissed her ring.
She rolled her eyes.
After Stella finished her meetings, she had one last dinner with her new mom and dad. Her adoptive family.
It was a small party for her. The whole village came out. They wore colorful clothing and played flute and danced. It was a magical night.
Stella lay back on a red pillow with her bad leg in front of her.
An elderly man with a long beard came to sit next to her.
Everyone moved away to give him space with her alone.
She looked at him and smiled. He took her hand and spoke in his own language. He touched her scar over her pants.
She watched as he offered her healing.
She put her hands together and bowed to him.
He touched her forhead and smiled at her. He told her she was always welcome and he knew Kumari had sent her to them to help them all, then he floated away, so it seemed.
Miriam came to her after this incredible blessing.
" Stella, you are very special indeed for our Pawo, healer Pemba to come see you."
Stella touched her leg. Maybe, just maybe it would heal now. She hoped.
