There Must Be A Mistake Ch. 20

"Repeat these words after me: I love you."

"I love you."

"I give up, let's go upstairs and I'll write it out for you."

They got into the elevator and started up to the twenty-eighth floor. Gordon was looking at Zoie.

Zoie avoided his penetrating glances, and looked at her parents. They seemed to be hiding something from her. She had a feeling she was going to kill Gordon very soon. Her parents were already on his side; she felt it in her bones.

"This is a very nice home Mrs. Schneider. Where is the balcony Zoie is going to throw me over?"

"It runs around the complete perimeter of the apartment, there is no escaping it."

"I guess it's good I'm in better shape than she is. I can run for a longer period of time before I have to give up."

"Come here Gordon, and show me what I did wrong with that sentence."

"Okay, you sit there. I'll sit here. We will this one more time by writing the words down."

"Repeat these words after me: I love you."

Both teens wrote these words on the paper in front of them.

Gordon said, "Let me see your paper Zoie."

"You got it wrong again. Do you have a problem following directions?"

She could hear her parents laughing in the kitchen.

She yelled, "This is not funny."

Payne yelled, "In one moment you will want to kill the person across from you."

"Gordon, what is my mother talking about?"

"Do you know how your father and mother enjoy spanking each other?"

"Yes.

"This may be our first opportunity to find out why."

He slid his paper across the table to her. She picked it up, read it, and slammed it back down.

"That's cheating. You were giving instructions as part of the answer and only wanting me to give the answer. Instead, you wanted me to write the instructions and the answer, but you didn't say that. You lied. I hate liars. You cheated. I hate cheaters. I hate people who never get zits. You never got zits. You're dead."

Calmly she stood up from the table and walked around to his side. Gordon did not move. His arms were on the table, his feet firmly in front of the chair. He waited for her next move.

She grabbed his chair and slid him out from under the table. His hands fell into his lap, but he made no offensive move against her.

The chairs had a high tapered back, which prevented her from going after his head or neck. She pulled his left arm in an attempt to get him off the chair. It didn't work. She tried with his right arm and that didn't work either.

When she stood in front of him he asked, "Are you finished?"

"I haven't started yet. Why, am I tiring you out?"

"I didn't want to scuff up your parents floors. I wanted to take off my shoes. Which room is yours?"

"It's down the hall, the second door on the right."

"You are so gullible."

"Why is that?"

In a flash, Gordon was out of his chair, his left shoulder folded Zoie in half, and he picked her up.

She screamed. "Put me down, put me down. Where are you taking me?"

"I'm taking you to our bedroom."

"It's my bedroom."

"Before I walk into that room make up your mind, is it your bedroom, or is it our bedroom."

"MOM, HELP ME!"

"I'm sorry Zoie I can't help you. That's a decision only you can make."

Gordon let her feet touched the floor, and kissed her forehead.

"Zoie, if it's too soon for you to start we will wait. We are young. I want you to feel very comfortable in our relationship. I'll let you lead as far as this is concerned. When you're ready to begin this part, you tell me, and we will begin. You will always be in control. We will only go as fast, and as far, as you want to go. I'm not going anywhere. I love you so much."

"Thanks Gordon, I just got a little frightened. I've never been with a boy in this house, and to be this close to my bedroom with one nearly freaked me out. Why don't you give me your shoes, and I'll put them in my room until later."

Gordon handed her his shoes and she opened her bedroom door.

He was amazed.

"Wow, now this is a bedroom. You could play a football game in here."

"It used to be two rooms, but when my oldest brother got married my dad renovated this wing and made this suite for me. You can come in and look at it."

"Do you know how big this is?

"I think its twenty-eight feet wide, and forty-four feet long, but it suits my needs."

"Things are going to be a little smaller on the spacecraft."

"I always wanted a room like Deanna Troy's.

"The Enterprise E looks a little bit bigger than 'The Good Luck. It's not, of course, but on television it's made to look that way."

"It is going to be just as fast as the 'Enterprise' isn't it?"

"Yes, we've given up perceived size, for speed."

They held each other for a moment or two, without saying a word, lost in their own thoughts. Zoie began kissing his chest and looked up into his eyes.

"You can see the harbor from my terrace. I'm going to use the restroom I'll be right back."

Gordon opened the sliding glass door, and felt the humid sea breeze hit him. He could see the tugboats pushing the larger container ships into their berths, and yachts by the hundreds, maybe thousands, sailing into and out of Charleston Harbor.

In the bathroom, Zoie removed her slacks and blouse. She fussed over her hair, put on lip-gloss and perfume. She looked into the mirror trying to decide whether to change into sexier undergarments, or stay with what she had on. These covered more of her than the others would. She prayed she could hold it together when she opened her robe in front of Gordon.

As she walked up the hall from her bathroom, she crossed her father's line of sight. He smiled and nodded his head. She smiled back, and her heart flipped

Silently, she closed and locked her door. The reason was standing on her balcony looking to the east.

Quietly, she walked up behind him, encircled her arms around his middle, and rested her head on his back.

"Do you see anything out there you like?"

"The world's commerce moves on those ships. They could be so much more efficient if the companies who owned them would spend a little more money up front."

"Stop using your head for a little while, and relax. I have a test I want to give you. If you fail it, I get to spank you. Come inside with me."

"Okay what do I have to do?"

"For the next two minutes you can't talk, and you will follow my instructions."

"What do I get in return for this obedience?"

"You get to see something you've never seen before."

"Okay, tell me when we start."

"You are the one wearing the watch you tell me."

Gordon set the alarm on his watch, and said, "Ready, begin."

"Keep your eyes closed, and take off your shirt."

While Gordon was taking off his shirt, Zoie attacked his belt buckle and the button on his slacks. When his right hand went to protect himself, she slapped it away. Within seconds, his shirt was gone, and Zoie had his pants below his knees.

She said, "Lay down."

Instead of lying down gracefully, Gordon stiffened, and fell down.

Zoie put her hand against her mouth and screamed. When he laughed at her, she hit him, and left a handprint on his stomach.

She moved back to his feet, and pulled off his slacks and his socks. She left him in his boxer briefs.

She stood up, removed her robe, and threw all their clothes to one side.

She looked at the totality of him. "My God are you gorgeous."

The alarm on his watch went off and his eyes opened. He looked at her in awe. She was wearing the briefest of panties and a modest bra.

"Thank you for waiting for me. I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I will thank God for you every day."

Gordon rose from the floor, and in Zoie's eyes, he got bigger.

Her head got lost on his chest, and her shoulders in his arms. She felt safe. It was as if no one could ever hurt her, as long as he was with her. He kissed her lips, then the tip of her nose.

Softly and sweetly he said, "Zoie, it's time for your spanking."

She screamed and tried to pull herself away from him, but it was useless. He tucked her under one arm, and carried her to bed. He threw her on it, jumped across her body to pin her down. He began kissing every inch of her body above her shoulders. When he finished, she was seeing stars.

He kissed her nose and said, "I think I'll hold off on the spanking, I would like to see what these bumps are on your chest. May I?"

Zoe replied, "What do I get out of this?"

"According to the research material I've read, all sweaty and tingly."

"That doesn't sound like a fair exchange. I'm going to have to take a shower afterwards."

"We could be eco-friendly and take a shower together."

"That sounds beneficial. Are you going to wash my bumps?"

"Only for an hour or so; then I'll move lower. I understand there is a ravine that needs some inspection. I hear it has a little bump that needs some special attention."

"Yes, I tend to that area of my garden very often."

"Maybe we can play doubles?"

"That sounds very beneficial; I think I'd like that."

"Shall we will put that on the scheduled for later this evening?"

"I don't have any other plans. Why don't we start out with the kissing, and see where it goes from there."

"I love starting that way with you. The electric charge I get from kissing you enhances all my senses. However, we moved away from the initial subject, which was 'The Bump Inspection.' Is this a front loader or a rear unloader?"

"It's a front loader."

"You never said if I may or may not. I will not unwrap my present, unless you say I may."

"Yes Gordon, you may."

Gordon's first attempt to release the hooks of the frontloading bra was a miserable failure.

Zoie couldn't help but laugh.

He frowned at her. "Is this spring-loaded or a combination lock? Remember this is my first attempt at opening one of these 'Bump Containers' and I am clueless."

"It's a simple hook and eye, Gordon."

"Now why didn't I think of that? What is a hook and eye?"

"Give me your hands. I will give you the sixty minute remedial course in opening a brassiere later."

Zoie took his hands and helped him unclip the hook and eye. As soon as that was done, she moved her hands away.

"That's all the help I'm giving you. You have the remainder of the afternoon to figure out how to find my bumps."

Gordon surprised her by leaving her bumps alone. He placed his hands on the sides of her face, and kissed her with every ounce of love, and affection he had for her.

Zoie's body ignited. He had not touched any area of intimate flesh, but her body began sweating, and tingling. The most amazing thing happened as their kiss came to an end. The blue white arc of electricity that passed between their lips was so powerful, Zoie orgasmed mightily, and her brain registered: TILT!

As her mind cleared, she realized Gordon had given her the best gift any girl could receive; and "It Started with a Kiss."

"We are going to need to carry a fire extinguisher with us, wherever we go. If our love gets any stronger, we will be able to start dead batteries."

Gordon asked, "How much do the auto club's charge for this service?"

"How many dead batteries do you expect to find on our new world?"

"I don't think about any of that when I'm with you."

"What do you think about when you're with me, besides my amazing body?"

I'm sure you have an amazing body, but all I can think about is your face. You are so beautiful."

"You haven't seen my body yet. You haven't unwrapped your present."

"I am looking at and talking to my present. I will look at the rest of the package in due course. We are not going to have sex for a very long time. We will know each other's bodies intimately before that happens.

My sister, and my brother-in-law slept in the same bed for ten months before they were married. They did not have intercourse until then. They played every sex game imaginable to keep themselves sane. My sister wanted to be a virgin when she went to her marital bed, and she was. It didn't mean she wasn't experienced in every form of sex, it was just she was never penetrated."

Zoie replied, "My mom and dad didn't wait. They made love just before my dad went to the Netherlands to get his inheritance, and my mother went to Duke to prepare for operation. As I understand the story, it was my mother's idea."

"Your mother is a very strong and beautiful woman. I can't imagine what she went through during the first eighteen years of her life looking disfigured."

"It's my turn to be on top, roll over."

"I'm not ready to give up my power position. I was about to start mapping my new territories."

"At the speed you're moving, it's going to take two generations to finish. Lewis and Clarke moved faster than you are."

"Lewis and Clarke didn't cum when they kissed."

"Are you sure? I must've missed that paragraph in my history books."

"In that incarnation, I was an Indian guide."

"Are you going to stop talking, and start mapping your territory?"

"I have to do one more thing before I start."

He moved his right hand down her flank until he reached the bottom of her rib cage. His fingers rubbed along the bottom rib until Zoie's eyes popped wide open.

"You wouldn't, I'll kill you. My father can't keep his mouth shut. I'll kill him right after I kill you. Please don't tickle me. Gordon please don't..."

His fingers started sliding under her rib and Zoie went wild.

"Stop, please stop, I'll do anything if you stop."

Gordon stopped.

Zoie caught her breath, looked at her tormentor, and reiterated her first threat.

"I'm going to kill you, and then I'm going to kill my father for opening his big mouth."

"A moment ago you said you would do anything if I stopped. I stopped. Do you remember saying that?"

"Yes I do, and I know I'm going to hate myself in the morning for saying it."

"Yes you are. I'm going to make sure of it."

"Your sister has a saying for times like this. I'm beginning not to like you."

"Should I kiss you again and change your mind?"

"First tell me what you were going to say that is going to make me angry."

Gordon grabbed her hands, and looked into her eyes. "When we go to dinner, I want you to go over to your father, kiss him, and thank him for telling me you are ticklish."

"You are out of your fucking mind. I will not do it, not in 1 million years. He is my biggest tormentor, and now he has you to carry on for him. I would rather die than say that to him."

"I guess you can't be taken at your word. You can't be trusted. From this point forward, anything you tell me will have to be put in writing; and notarized. I mean everything; from I'm going shopping, or I'm going to take a shower, will require written notification, and a notary public to sign and seal the document. Don't ever tell me that you have to go to the bathroom, because it may take hours to get someone to sign off on it. I wouldn't want you to mess your clothing, while you are waiting for permission to pee."

"You are not being fair, Gordon. I was under duress when I made that promise, and you know it. I'll do anything else, but I won't do that."

"I'm sorry Zoie, you reneged on one promise; you can't be trusted to keep another."

"I've changed my mind. I want you to bet against my father. You may be able to beat him. You are as rotten and sneaky as he is."

"Would you like me to go back to Texas? It doesn't sound like you are enjoying my company."

"If you take one step towards Texas I will break your toes. If you take a second step, I'll break your feet. If you continue trying to walk towards Texas, I will work my way up towards your neck. After that is broken, I'll send you back to your father with my condolences."

"It sounds like you're threatening me, with bodily harm. Should I call the police? I would hate to go to jail for protecting myself from a little wisp of a girl."

"I have been known to take bigger people than you down to size."

"You've already seen what I can do to people much larger than I am. You wouldn't want to take that chance. You could wind up on your bed, naked, and tied to all four corners. I could defoliant your pubic area, one hair at a time, using tweezers. You would not be pleased with me, but you would learn a valuable lesson in humility."

"Okay, I'll thank my father for telling you I that I am ticklish. Can we stop arguing now; I liked what we were doing before."

"Okay, you can be on top."

"What; all this arguing started because I wanted to be on top. You said, 'No,' because you wanted to map out the area. Then all of this other stuff got into the middle, and I got angry with you. Now you tell me I can be on top, 'What Changed?"

"Nothing, I was just playing with you."

"Gordon, you have just picked a great way to die, while you are sleeping."

"I know."

"What do you know?"

"I know the two women I love most in this world, would kill to protect me."

"You are going to have to explain that to me."

"Both my mother and you would kill anyone trying to hurt me, because you want to do it yourselves."

"That's the most convoluted thinking I've ever heard."

They kissed again, and by the time they finished, everything that happened between the two kisses was forgotten, except for one thing; Zoie was now on top.

"How did you do that?"

"I did it very quickly, so you wouldn't notice."

"You are right, I didn't notice."

"Well, now that you're up there, what are you going to do about it?"

"I'm going to take my bra off."

"No you're not, that's part of my present. Only I can take it off."

"In that case I'll start marking off my territory."

She started kissing him at the top of his head, and worked her way around his ears, neck, and jaw.

She smiled at him and pleaded, "Let's not argue anymore, I don't like it. You are much smarter than I am, and you confuse me. Please, no more arguing."

"On the day we met I told you I don't lie. I will not start any arguments with you from this moment on."

"I love you Gordon, thank you for being mine."

"I am Zoie, forever."

***************

100. OH Please; Not Another One

"Mommy, Teddy wants her diaper changed, she's wet."

"How do you know, did you check her diaper?"

"I would never do that mom, she's a girl. She just told me she was wet."

Delicious closed her book, as she closed her eyes. "Mom, what did I ever do to you to deserve this punishment?"

"This is not punishment baby. This is a gift from God."

"You may think so, but I am only human. They are so far beyond me, I will never catch up."

"Children are supposed to be smarter than their parents. I was smarter than my parents, and you were smarter than me. Now your children will be smarter than you. Look what you have accomplished in your life. Can you imagine what they are going to accomplish on their New World?"

"I hope they don't destroy me before I get there."

"You and Grayson will live a long and happy life. You have much to do before you are finished, and you will accomplish everything that is set before you."

"Thanks mom, I have to go change my daughter, before she starts screaming for me."

"Newton come with me."

"Teddy and I have been talking to one another, since you brought her home."

"You can read my mind now?"

"No mom, it was the next logical question."

"What have you and Teddy been talking about?"

"She's worried about space travel. She thinks she'll get motion sickness. I told her not to worry, she would be asleep most of the time. It made her feel better."
