Harry and Xavier along with the vineyard manager and the president of sales technically which is Xavier's uncle travelled to Napa Valley for the wine tasting event.
Xavier rattled on about the new chick he brought into his apartment and why he got out of the apartment so early, everyone knew him as the stress free guy but he was hardworking whivh was why Scott happily allowed him work in the winery, securing a too position too.
Harry paid less attention as he texted Ivy who was back home preparing to go have dinner with her oldest brother Don.
'are we gonna check the vineyards today?' Harry asked interrupting their discussion.
'no. thats not a good idea bro'. Xavier replied, rubbing his knee.
'we'll check that out tomorrow morning for now we need to get settled in a hotel i had told my secretary to reserve'. scott Miller said.
'sounds exclusive'. paul the vineyard manager muttered and they chuckled.
'what is this i hear about Miguel Torres coming?' Xavier asked.
'he's a nice dude. besides he's friends with craig hall'. paul said.
'the owner of the Hall Napa Valley?' Harry asked and they nodded. 'their bottles are quite exctraordinary'.
'yeah... His wife is Kaithryn, she's almost like Mrs. perfect'm xavier blurted and they all laughe ignoring his comment even though they knew it was a lie she was just a nice lady being herself am working hard for her family.
Harry took a shower immediately hebgot to his hotel room. When he was done in the shower, he face-timed Ivy. While they talked, he stood in fron of the mirror half naked with just a towel around his waist, having a neat shave for his beards.
'i hope you stay clear of trouble'. he muttered moving his chin as he gently used the razor.
Ivy pouted and he stoppped shaving and began starring at her. he used to like when she pouts, her lips were so tempting but now he doesnt enjoy it. the special feeling that hooks him when he's around her is gone. just gone.
'just trust me. okay?' she added and he gave a dim smile.
'yeah of course I trust you. Don will be there right?'
'yes babe. he will be coming to pick me up too'.
'well thats not an issue. get back home on time thats all'.
'okay I will babe. Do you know Dan will be leaving for mexico tomorrow?
''oh!! he paused and cleaned his face with a damp warm towel. 'over here tomorrow we'll be going to check the vineyard then later the wine tasting'.
'i could have come with you'.
'but you cant. the ranch needs your attention now'. he said sternly.
'just tell me you dont need me rather than making an excuse with the ranch'.
he cleaned his face again ignoring her statement. 'so who are you having dinner with?'
'just co-workers'.
'women?'
'no Ivy. Xavier and his uncle and the vineyard manager'. he said sternly wishing the conversation will end or maybe bad network.
'after dinner?'
'I'll be in bed'. he added.
'you will call me again before you sleep right?'
'yeah sure'. if i ain't tired. he wanted to add but he held himself. 'now I need to hang up someone is at my door'.
'wont you put on a shirt and pants? what if its a lady or....
'ivy its Xavi. I told him to come call me before he leaves for dinner'. he knew how her insecurities were with being aroynd women. 'I'm coming'. he yelled to the living room and looked back at the phone. 'bye'. he added and they both hung up.
he opened the door seeing Xavier a expected and a lady beside him, who starred at him with her mouth open.
'fuck Xavi'. harry yelled hiding behind the door popping only his head recognising the Lady as Isabella Williams.
'fuck Harry. you wanna seduce me?'
'very funny asshole'. he paused. 'i'm so sorry miss'. he apologised like a child. 'excuse me let me go put on something'. he added.
'sure you are'. Xavier chuckled.
'shut the fuck up. its not like you havent seen me naked'.
'oh yh damn you are huge'.Xavier said as they not laughed except Isabella who was feeling funny within her and she jerked Xavier's arm to be quiet. 'don't mind Harry. he's an idiot'. xavier added and isabella chuckled trying to remove the image of Harry almost naked self in her head.
shortly he came out of the room this time on pants with a red sneakers and a polo with a jacket, raising the sleeves. he used to enjoy wearing casual clothes unlike Tux or suite with a tie.
'Bro..... meet Isabella Williams'. xavier said and Harry nodded with a dim smile. all he wanted to do was have dinner and rush back here to sleep and prepare for tomorrowv event. but the beautiful lady in front of him was another great view of how the evening would be.
'its nice to meet you Mr. Wilson'. he raised a brow hearing her voice so light and sweet and calling him Mr. Wilson looked like he was turned on immediately.
she looked nice, even though stick thin. he wondered why most women were that way. Men these days love women with a little meat. just something they could hold don't but in his eyes she was okay and didnt think more flesh added was necesaary.
she had a thick brunnette hair, her eye were the color of warm hazelnut oil. her skin looked smooth like that of olive. she was taking care of herself and her smiles was warming too bad he hardly too part in their conversation he was zoning out. he continously starred at her mouth. When it opened to speak, everyone became quiet. she was just a goddess.
he continuosly zoned out during the dinner but whenever he could com back to reality, the would have probably ended the joke.
'so how is Napa?' scott Miller asked. Unfortunately she was the only woman at the table she kept cool and contributed when she was needed which was like in every subject. she handled it well. Scott endlessly starred at her, it was obvious he had other motives after tonight.
'Its a good place, everyone knows that with the wines and events'.
'so I heard you wanna start up your own winery?'
she paused and nodded. 'i'm not too sure about it though I mean its a little scary starting something on your own'.
'yeah... i get'. Scott muttered and they chuckled. 'the paparazzi would be all over you'. they agreed with him making a toast for her.
'yeah.... most times they freak me out'.
'so in the main time you will still be here in Napa working for the valleys huh!! paul asked and she nodded tucking her hair and glanced at Harry who was engrossed to his phone. she had caught him several times watching her as she spoke and even laughed but mostly he was stuck with his phone. he was such a sad ass and she felt for him. 'Napa has good vineyards and wineries the business is here. i havent thought of another place except here'.
'what about you come to the Miller winery? I mean our man Harry here is working on a project and before Easter he is expected to have been done. maybe you can come lend some hand. two is better than one right?' Scott asked as Harry starred to and fro scott and Isabella.
'you don't mind right bro?' xavier asked him and he breathed heavily pushing his hair back looking at Isabella who gave a dim smile.
that would be fine if she wants to'. he said.
'of course I would love to be working
with Mr. Wilson'. he gasped hearing his name from her mouth again and tried not to think harder.
they all talked some more about the event tomorrow before they went home and Isabella went to her apartment escorted by Scot Miller. not that anything could happen between them he was old already, fifty-two and she was twenty -seven. she wasnt dumb enough to give herself to such an old man. that wasnt how she was.
