25. Resort Plans

I go to my office and have lunch. I need to focus. The China inn needs a plan and so does the spa.

I work on the inn first. I make it an L shape on the paths. With the stable at 1 end. The other end has nothing breaking up the wall. It's just pushes to the city wall.

I list out what I know I want. A little kid area, a bigger kid area, a grown up relax area. All 3 areas should have pools with the first 2 having slides. I want a big eating area in the middle with a gazebo that looks like it's sitting on the water. 2 bridges to get to it. I want a bar near the grown-up area. Also on a little island. I want those trees everywhere and I want a gong. It also needs an ice cream station in the garden. The rental building. The stuff you may have forgot building. Dragon statues. The outside snack bar.

I draw it all out as best as I can. I keep the entire Chinese theme with it.

"This looks amazing."

"AHHH!" I turn around and nearly fall over. "Sorry Tobias. I was focused, I think."

"I was walking by and saw you working. You're all working on different inns. Other than Tye. He's watching a movie with Elroy."

"Yea, his inn is done until he gets another idea for it."

"I don't think they'll ever really be done." He checks out my sketch. "This garden area is perfect. You tied the Chinese theme into it. For the snack bar, you should put some of those weird foods out of the market. A lot of people will want to try them, but they'll be too afraid to buy from vendors on the street."

I write it down. "There is so much to this. Like, I'm ok with the visual stuff. But I need to pick the ice cream flavors, and the menus, and what should be at the store. What kind of alcohol for the bar? It's so much. Would you change anything about this?"

"I would make the building sides longer. Fit more rooms that way. You would be cutting into some garden area, but there's so much of that anyway."

"That's true." I alter it. "I like this better too. I wonder how many rooms there would be on a floor?"

"If you do both sides, city view and garden view, I would guess at least 60 a level."

"That's a lot of rooms."

"Yea, but you could make them bigger. Hell make them all like Tye planned out with the separate bedroom." I look at him weird. "He told me about them before he kicked me out to watch the movie." I laugh and he smiles at me. "Instead of 80 a level. Aim for 40, but give the kids a separate bedroom and the adults. Give them a sitting room that leads to a big balcony. An eating area and a couple of bathrooms in each of the family rooms. Or maybe do that on 1 floor and put 2 floors of the regular rooms."

"So much to think about."

"You know, when I'm on vacation. I'm the only 1 in the room. But I hate when an advisor shows up, and they walk in and see the bed. Even just me, I would love it if the bedroom was separate, maybe a big bath in it. Then put the bathroom in the other part, so guests could use it too."

"I do like that idea."

"There you go. What else do you want in the inn? I know Tre said he had a taco place and a pizza place."

"I want to keep the pizza place. That's a good one. Kids love pizza."

"Are you going to do the meal plans?"

"Yea, I guess I should. Keep them all the same that way."

"That makes sense. You could always mix it up. Make a base menu and stick to it. 2 days a week, fish. 1 day a nice steak dinner. Another day pasta. You make amazing pasta here. Dress it up a bit and make it fancy. Then put the menu everywhere. Thursday pasta day."

I jump up and down. "I could make an island food day too."

He writes it down. "Yes you could."

I hug him. Then I take his paper. "I need 2 days' fish. 1 day steak. 1 Pasta. 1 Island. Still need 2."

"Chicken or duck."

"Bird day."

"1 day could be a surprise, if you have leftovers throughout the week. You won't have to waste them that way."

"You are good at this."

"I've been listening to the boys argue for an hour. I've heard every idea ever."

"Yea, they are good at arguing."

He looks at me for a second and his eyes start to go dark. Then he looks at the paper. "Any other food places?"

"I think that will be good."

"You'll have to figure out the ice cream flavors. And I would add some vendor food to the snack bar with just some regular snack foods. You could copy the list of items from the what you forgot building too. The bar, you'll have to figure out what kind of alcohol you want."

"I have the wine picked out already. I have 2 wineries."

"Really?"

"Yes, red and white."

"That part is done then. I would add some other stuff for people who don't drink wine."

"What else is there?"

"I'll make your alcohol list. You don't need to go around tasting everything."

"Probably a good idea."

"Do you want anything else in the building?"

"Spa and a kids' club."

"How many levels of rooms do you want?"

"Maybe 3? That sounds good."

"Ok. So the first level will be mainly the food places. Levels 2-4 would be rooms. 5 could be the spa over the adult-only wing. You could put the older kids club over on the other side." He puts his hand on my back and steps in closer. "Over here. Or it's big enough, you could probably put both kids clubs." I'm kind of dazed. I feel tingles. Then he starts lightly rubbing. I could die. That feels good. "Then you could put the fancy restaurant in the middle of the 6th floor."

I need to make words here. "You planned out a whole inn." Good job me.

He winks at me. "I gave you some ideas. This was you." Then he pulls me in closer and his lips touch mine. I feel the sparks. I wrap my arms around his neck and he deepens the kiss. I pull him closer. I don't want this to end.

"What are you working on?"

We stop kissing.

Thora cracks up laughing. "Working hard I see."

Coral shakes her head. "No. Just no. You go. Go talk to Dipak if you're confused about why you're here. I'm sure he'll remind you not to kiss the princess. If he doesn't kill you first." She pushes him out. "Find something else to do."

She walks back over to me and Thora and crosses her arms. "Really?"

"I kissed a prince." Thora and I jump up and down giggling.

Elek comes in. "Why are you giggly?"

"NO REASON ELEK. DAMN YOU'RE WORSE THAN DIPAK." Thora screams.

Coral grabs her. "We'll leave now." She pulls Thora right out the door.

"I have concerns about those 2 sometimes."

"Yea, you're not the only 1." He puts his arm around me.

I lean against him and snuggle. He's warm. I breathe in and he smells so good. I relax and he kisses my head. Then he wraps his arms around me and hugs me from behind. I love this.

Then he spins me around and kisses me. He is such a good kisser. And I get the tingles from him.

I wrap my arms around his neck and play with his hair. I love kissing him.

His fingertips slide down my sides then he lifts me up. I think he's trying to sit me on the table. But I hook my legs on his hips and pull him tighter against me.

His eyes go so much darker. Then he kisses me so deep.

I drag my nails lightly across his marking spot and feel his d**k throb threw his clothes. I need that. I move my hips and legs. I rub it as best as I can.

He kisses my marking spot.

"This is a bit much for having the door open."

We stare at Coral.

"Boy, you are my nephew and I love you, but you are an idiot." She points at the door. "You can't do that with the door open. Her mates are roaming around."

He sits me on the conference table. Then he buries his eyes in between my neck and shoulder.

I rub his back. That was a lot.

Coral leaves and shuts the door.

I give him a hug. "You ok?"

He nods into my shoulder then kisses it. "Yea, you?"

"Yea. That was a bit more than a kiss though."

"Yea that was." He helps me off the table, then I give him another kiss.

He gives me another 1. "Let's look at the inn, before I get myself killed."
