Chapter 15

"So your birthday is in two weeks is there anything special you would like to do?" Bella asked. The whole group was out at their favorite Chinese place eating as a big group date. "Well honestly I would like a party. I want to be with my family, you guys, some other close friends. I just want a good night with good food, and my amazing woman." Xavier said as he leaned in to give her a sweet kiss and took the bite of her food she offered him. "That sounds perfect do you know how many people roughly you think you would like to invite?" Rylie asked.

"No clue until I start actually I start telling people." Xavier laughed scratching the back of his head. "Do you want to make invitations, or just send texts and emails?" Dimitri asked. "Probably just text people." "Maybe we should make it for about one hundred and fifty to two hundred people" Leah said. Xavier choked on his drink. "Don't you think that's a lot of people?" Dre' asked. "Well no, not really I mean look at us we're ten people. Xavier has friends all over town, and not to mention a couple of mine like Ryker, Nacho, Travis. So many other friends from here and the near by towns. Not to mention he has well over twenty people in his family alone." Bela said simply. Hopefully one and many more in the near future he thought to himself smiling deeply. Wondering what she would look like all swollen with their babies. One step at a time Knight she hasn't said yes yet he thought to himself.

"Oh I almost forgot Carter is having his company's big party the next day we have to go." Bella said looking at Dimitri, Leo, And Xavier. "All of us or only you guys." Zain asked with a pleading look. Just us four you guys don't have to suffer." Leo said smiling. Bella just nodding her head in agreement. "That's alright baby I will be free we don't work Sunday's and we are back in the office Monday and I have the new hires coming in than too, to get used to the system." Xavier said with a bit of excitement. "Will our new receptionist be making her special appearance?" Dre' asked with a smirk. "Yes she will. I expect all of you to be respectful. She is one of the few people who is completely qualified and I happen to have highest respect for her I expect you too to." He said with a warning pointing his fork. All of them just nodded.

"I'm very proud of how you hired your staff babe. I know it's a not an easy thing to put trust into so many different people to help pull your dream into a reality. We are very proud of you guys and all your hard work and can't to get a couple of full weekends out of you guys." Bella said. "Seriously this is going to be so great to get you all to ourselves at our mercy for all weekend." Maddison added on leaning in to take a teasing kiss form Dre'. "Bella, girls. Good to see you. Guy's. Carter, Eli, Nate, and Liam said all smiling at the girls. They were in fact handsome no question, but they couldn't hold a candle the men on their arms the girls thought to themselves. "It's good to see you too." Leah said with a smile. "Bells I do think our stomachs are of one heart." He said. "I'm starting to believe you." She said as she raised her glass of coke to toast his theory. "I'm glad I ran into you, do you think I could swing by your place to get a couple of signatures from you for some papers I got going on. The ones I showed last week?" Carter asked in business mode. "Oh yeah, of course I'm free anytime after six pm. Starting Monday." She said Xavier smiling to himself knowing that's the time he would be home. That's my girl he thought to himself. The other guys smirked slightly too, no one else catching on. "OK, great I don't know which day but I will swing by about that time. Thank you again so much for everything. I would be lost without your help. I'm actually learning a lot and I'm excited to know more so thank you so much for you time Bells. We'll let you folks get back to it. Good night." Carter said as the other guys smiled and waved them off.

"I can't pinpoint exactly what it is but I am starting to really I guess hate those guys, they just got that vibe you know." Dimitri said trying to figure it out. "I get what you mean I get it too." Leo said starring off at them getting a slight shiver. "I don't. I mean they are a little off sometimes but not that bad." Leah said. The other girls agreeing except Bella. "I guess it's just a penis thing than because I for sure Hate them." Jayden said. Making everyone at the table laugh hard. They all made their way home and relaxed They had dinner with his family earlier that day so his uncle could rest, and late dinner with the group now Monday was the start of opening back up as Trevor got started on the building the concrete foundation had been made they could start building it up now with all the pipes and wires and everything else all set to go. HE had it set up to add two other bathrooms for male and females. The one the already had would be straight for employees. He already had Rylie set up all the computers and tablets laptops for the first day with all the correct settings for paper work, DMV connections and everything set up. So everyone else new hired will be training with her for two days on it and shadowing the guys as they get use to everything. Than the will spend half a day getting use to the place.

"I have a meetings next week with all my shares all over. For a yearly check in. Travis wants to know if we want to go out for dinner or just come here and have pick up game on the drive way after." She asked Xavier checking her phone getting ready to text him back. "Awe does he miss me too?" Xavier asked smiling deeply. "Have him come here tell Travis we miss him too." He said with a chuckle make him for Friday though so we can let out some steam for the first week with trainees." He added as she nodded her head. "I have to go down to Aria''s place Tuesday. Dimitri and I will check our own consult business Wednesday. "I will be seeing Ryker Monday while Bellbrook and papa Corban. I have someone else who requested a lunch meeting to discuss some things a Mrs. Nicole Anderson. I have no clue who that is." Bella said trying to think hard, normally she's perfect with names and faces. "Did you say Nicole Anderson?" Xavier asked looking at her weird. "Yeah Doesn't ring a bell, I'll just respond to busy and to talk to Dimitri." She said with a shrug.

Xavier started laughing. "Baby that's Carter's mom. It's her dad who owns the business in Bellbrook she spends half the weeks there helping out." He said smiling. "Oh, well I still don't know her and to me they are just like everyone else they can go through Dimitri. He's great at weeding people out of my precious time. Besides I have a very special man to plan for." Bella said crawling into bed, as he turned off the light. "Is that so?" He asked in that husky voice that drove her nuts as she simply just nodded with a big smile. Pulling her closely to him he straddled her on top if him. Using one arm to hold her waist, and the hand in between her hair, and neck. They started to get drunk off the kisses. Pulling him out of his boxers, and push her underwear to the side He entered her deep and fully they already knew they weren't going to last long the way they kept up the movement lost in their own world, still attached at the mouth never letting up at the keep merciless rhythm they had going He used his hand to start pinching and rubbing on her clit bringing her to a whole new world or sensations to the point she couldn't think straight. Until they both came undone at the same time.

Getting up to dispose of the condom and bring her a rag to clean her up always making her feel special and loved. HE crawled back in bed and cuddled up to her side, spooning her close to him. "I don't know what I did to get blessed with you Bells, but I am so beyond thankful to have you, and be here with you like this. I love you Isabella." Xavier said as he placed a soft kiss to the back of her neck. She curled perfectly to him as he was well over twice her height and weight. "I was just thinking the same thing. I'm thankful for you being here Xavier. I love you too. More than I ever thought possible. She said puling his hand that was draped over her waist to her mouth to kiss it and return it to it's position holding her close drifting off to sleep. Two weeks is a long time to wait. It's either way she chooses to answer it's going to change everything. He thought to himself. Knowing he was fully finally ready for which ever way it would go.

Early in the morning Dimitri came to the house to get Bella for their two meetings, with a coffee for Xavier and himself and a sweet tea for Bells. "Good luck babe." Xavier sadi closing the passenger door kissing her goodbye. "You too boo" Dimitri added making the three of them smile as they both drove off to work. Getting there Xavier opened the door as everyone was walking up even the students in their second year who passed the test and had a work permit. Everyone got settled in the shop until they heard the sound of boots as Rylie stepped up to all of them with a push cart full of the tablets and new hire contracts.

"Good morning Gentlemen welcome aboard Knight's Mechanics. I am Rylie and I will be with you on Training a lot this week first thing first we will be getting the paper work out of the way it all has your name on them and they are all in order we will go over it together. These are for tax preposes and your agreement contracts to work here we will go over them quickly but thoroughly. We will stop if someone get lost and I will make sure everything is completed by Friday. We will also be learning how to use these things here to help complete paper work and submit paper work. You'll also learn to answer phones. Alright let's get started you guys come up and grab your paper work. I just need one minute." Rylie said walking over to the guys.

"Hey baby." She said coming up to hug and kiss Jayden who was smiling like a kid on Christmas. "You quit your job?" He asked happily. "Kind of had to you know how those meetings went." She mumbled looking down. "IS this ok me working here with you. Should I have asked you if it was ok first. I don't want to make you get sick of me or think I'm trying to impose in your happy place or anything." She said starting to second think her decision. "Babe I'm the most clingiest person out of probably everyone in town. I'm excited to have you here, although you going have to stay on the other side of the counter because I'm not going to be able to handle myself to well if I see you bending over or anything just warning you now." HE said hands up trying to honest making everyone giggle. "Go get em baby girl." He said kissing her forehead. "Let's get to it guys we got a lot of people waiting already. Zain, Dre go get them settled while Jayden and I finish up these here." Xavier said as they started working quickly.

"Ok, Papa I think that's everything I can finally make it home now." Bella said checking her watch to see it read three p.m. She was wiped it was such a long day with numbers. It took longer with Ryker because they all three loved their time together and was throwing snacks at each other while they went threw the paper work. "OK baby girl you make sue to text me when you get there and you send Xavier our best." He said kissing her on the forehead opening the door. "Thank you for your time Jax, we loved the sweet treats. It was very thoughtful of you." She said as she kissed his cheek too catching him by surprise. Dimitri had already left to get the car to come around.

"There's my baby girl." Mama Grace said as she came up hugging tightly to Bella. "Hey mama How are you? You look great." Bella said smiling deeply hugging her tightly back. "MY girl you look absolutely exhausted you need to get home, and soak this day away my sweet girl." Grace said as she held one arm on Bella's hand and the other cupping her cheek proudly. They heard a female cough to clear a throat behind Grace. "Oh forgive me. Bella honey I want you to meet an old friend of mine. She is actually a big admirer of yours Mrs. Nicole Anderson. Nicky meet my wonderful baby Ms. Isabella Alderman." Grace said proudly. "Hello Ms. Alderman it is just so wonderful to meet you I have heard and seen so many great things about you." She said shaking her hand. "Well I hope good things were to your liking. Please call me Bella, or Bells." She said waving off the formalities.

Nicole smiling deeply. "I heard nothing but great things. I actually was helping my husband basket up everything you donated a while back." She said smiling. "Oh you must be the Chief Anderson wife. Carters mother." Bella said realizing now just who she is." "I am yes. Do you know my son well?" She asked raising an eyebrow. "A little bit for almost four years of being acquainted." Bella said. "Well that is a long time. I'm so sorry to only be meeting you now." She apologized. "It's alright I actually need to be heading down to see Dimitri so I can get home to that bath. It was nice meeting you send my best to the family." Bella said as she quickly went to the elevator before it closed. Red flags going off in her head wondering why the lady she just blew off in an email would magically appear the next day just out side one of her offices. She had a feeling she was going to be seeing a lot of the Andersons for awhile. Better start making food at home for awhile. She thought to herself.

Walking into the Blazing Phoenix building she was escorted to the conference room they had already gone over the paper work she was just sitting in on a meeting. The Advertising team was trying to pick which way they wanted to advertise the new pitch they had approved of. After listening to the five of them she was so proud of Aria as hers was definitely he best. Trent smiling proudly. They kept the office out of their relationship when it came to this so everything remained fair. Bella was very impressed with their professional relationship they were very mature and realistic about it. Aria' s main boss was most impressed I think that was one of the best presentations I ever heard and seen heard from you. I think that was absolutely perfect Ms. Knight. Her main CEO said smiling down at her. "Thank you ma'am." She answered back. She was the only woman to make a presentation. The men rolled their eyes.

"So what do you gentlemen think?" The man to Trents left looked at the other four of them as the nodded in agreement. "We like Ms. Knights approach the best." He said with a smile. "Are you sure that call is made on a fair judgement call and not just because she is dating one of the judges here?" One man asked angrily. Aria looking at him shocked. Trent looking at him like he could climb over the table and clock this guy. "What is your name?" Bella asked as no one noticed she and Dimitri in the back. Aria's boss and the other four mouth's dropped. "Thomas Jones ma'am." He said with too much attitude like she had no business speaking to him.

"Ms. Knight had the best presentation hands down no question. Since you want to put down her work in an Ethical question of favoritism let's break down where your presentation failed now shall we?" Bella said as she pulled up his proposal. "I'm Sorry ma'am this meetings are just for." Thomas started taking but Dimitri cut him off. "Quiet boy it's not your turn yet. We going to address the issue you asked about." HE said in the same attitude Thomas was speaking to Bella in. "You have no set plan in this proposal. Listing a couple of models for the ad isn't specific. You have no one name or prices they would need for the shoot and all expenses involved. The billboard has two art designs neither have the artist, or cost going on here either. You have nothing specific or detailed how can we take this seriously if you didn't. It's like I walked up to the quarter back of the high school football team and said this is our pitch where can you get it so it's out in public and they just looked up and a said a model with boobs. You don't have no magazine or newspapers backing you on this." Bella said tossing his work back at him on the table. Standing now next to Trent who was smirking at him.

Ms. Knight had four newspapers form neighboring towns, twelve magazines and four are highly sought by the main targeted audience for the product these men her are trying to push for. She also had models, photographers, artist with the prices that would be needed, and even the profit income in the end with deadlines and a set up schedule for any one that would be involved. She did the ground and leg work and I am very proud because she was the only to have it down to a T and not waste the rest of our time. In fact some of you did ok, but there were many holes and questionable problems that may occur in your work it wasn't bad but needed improvement before it got brought here today. According to Mrs. Downey you have been here for two years. Two years Mr. Jones and this is the best you had to bring today. I got to say I am beyond disappointed that you have not improved at all in all this time if this was the best you brought to the table after having three weeks to prepare. Was this just a big joke to you Mr. Jones?" Bella asked

"No, it was not." HE started but got cut off again. "You want to throw Ms. Knight under the table even though her work is remarkable for someone her age being the only female in here, you throw her under the bus on Ethics to make yourself feel better over this joke? I don't appreciate, those kind of remarks Mr. Jones I don't tolerate work like this in the amount of time you have been here. I would like you to clear out your desk Mr. Jones. You are terminated starting today. Now please take whatever dignity you have left and leave your last check will be mailed to you, do not come back. You are dismissed sir." Bella said looking him straight in the eye.

"Who exactly are you to think you can just fire me?" Thomas roared in the room. "Oh I'm sorry forgive me for those who are unaware I am Isabella Alderman main share holder of this company and theirs. I'm technically your head boss. Now please take your leave Mr. Jones security coming to the door to help see him out. "Mrs. Downey if you would please proceed with my full support." Bella said as she sat down next to Dimitri. Everyone looking at each other at the scene that just unfolded in front of them. "Yes Bella." She said smiling she adored the young woman behind her. "As we were saying Ms. Knight you got the project and the position of senior project manager. Congratulations." Mrs. Downey said as everyone got up to shake her hand. Bella and Dimitri kissing her cheek as they hugged her happily. Trent kissed her deeply as he was proud of her.

"My woman is brilliant." He said loudly. Making everyone smile and chuckle at the happy couple. Aria turning red so excited. "Look at you Ms. Badass I can't believe you did that. HE was always such an annoying tool." Aria said as the other three people agreed. "Well I don't tolerate disrespect and being rude in the meeting I will shut that shit down real quick." She said making everyone smile. She was fair, but demanded respect. I can't wait for Sunday dinner it's going to be such a good story." Aria said smiling deeply. "Yeah it will so who will tell it you or Trent? Oh look a the time got to go." Bella's said as she and Dimitri went out the door laughing knowing Trent will probably have to start going to the dinners now.

Thursday she tried to keep open. She spent a lot of the day trying to find the perfect banquet hall for Xavier's birthday with his mom and Aunts. Finally finding one and booking it, ordering the food and cake. She went home it was six thirty as Xavier was showered coming into the living room, looking at her in her summer dress that was a little too short. Making him look at her lustfully. "You are all set for your birthday party my love. We just have to tell everyone where, when, and what time." She said putting her stuff down on the table next to the door. "Well thank you baby but you know I could have handled it. You don't have to do this baby. You've done more than enough for a lifetime for me." He said coming up to her letting his hand come up soothing her cheek.

She loved the feeling getting lost in his touch. "I just want to show you, how special you are to me on your big day, daddy." She purred to him. "Well how about you just relax and let me thank you properly." He said losing all control at his point. Lifting her up in the air, as he sat down quickly placing her back against the wall straight in front of the closed living room door, he placed her on his shoulders. Ripping her under in half and running his tongue over her slit and than delving into her like a starving man. Lost in the sensation and pleasure rolling through her as they stayed in this position for awhile. Not even hearing the knock on the door. Just as she was coming ff her high and her release, was the time the door turned and the caller walked in to the living room standing there shocked.

"Oh my god." Xavier placed her down standing in front of her so he was blocking any view. "Carter what the hell." Xavier roared at him. "Hey I kept knocking and I heard voices. You know damn well any one else would have just walked in to. Besides you know I was going to be popping up this week. Bella I'm sorry." Carter said trying to apologize. "It's ok, it happens. Its over let's just move on please. Please. Really Baby it's ok." She said as she took Xavier's hand helping her up. "Do you want to change?" He asked her quietly. Not liking how short the dress was, and the fact that he tore her panties he didn't want to give anyone a chance to see what his only, especially Carter. "Yeah. Carter I'll meet you in the Kitchen in just a few minutes." She said as she took off to her room for a second to add on the undergarments.

"Did happen to dawn on you to send her a text first?" Xavier asked in an annoyed tone getting a juice from the fridge. "Like I said she already knew I was going to be coming to sign some papers for next week. I didn't know you would be attacking her with your damn face coming in the door." Carter bit back. "You know what still questions me about you Carter. Is how you got her number in the first place." Xavier asked looking at him as he took a drink. "Some guy's named Jaxon gave it to me when I told who I was and what I needed with it." Carter said simply. "Sure, right." Xavier said rolling his eyes knowing he was lying. "You got something to say Knight?" Carter asked. '"I got plenty to say Anderson, wouldn't matter though you wouldn't speak the truth anyway that much is obvious. Just do what you need to do. We had a long week and are getting anxious to finish up special time with my woman." Xavier said smugly as he went to the living room.

"OK this is the last one." Carter said thirty minutes later. "Sorry for the hold up on them I like to double check and read everything I sign." She said as she gave everything back to him. "No it's fine. I think it's very smart of you taking your time. You look beat today. You going to head to sleep?" HE asked. "Something like that." She said blushing brightly looking over at Xavier who winked to her. "Anderson, I'm going to be that rude guy and ask you to leave our house now it's getting late and my honey needs rest, you understand?" Xavier said leaving no room for arguments. "Of course. Goodnight Bella." HE said kissing the side of her cheek catching her off guard. Shutting the door behind him on the way out. "That was weird." Bella said wiping her cheek. "Don't think on it Bells. Let me lock up and I'll meet you in bed. That sweet ass better be naked by the time I get there I'm no where near done with you yet." He said as she blushed deeply and he smacked her ass to get to the room locking everything he looked out the window and saw Carter drive off. Looking down the way as the tail lights left the property. Turning to go back to the room where his love laid there waiting for him. Knowing there was a storm coming to them with Carter, knowing her was ready he went to Bella and made sure he loved her good, long, and held her tight. After finally finding his forever he'd be damned if he just went down without a fight to a man like Carter. He was ready, question is, is she.
