Chapter 122

Margaret was so happy that things were working according to plans, she was much more happier that Mike played his role beyond her expectation, he was full of confidence and his composure was air and water tight. He thought of a better way of appreciating him, so she decided to target a suitable time for an erotic intimacy. Meanwhile, they had to discuss more for the launch meeting, being that a lot of questions was going to come from the family members. Margaret didn't want any commitment from Mike, she knew her family very well to the point that she had already seen the handwriting on the wall. She had to move Mike at that stage before he pleased them and possibly displease himself. It wasn't part of the agreement for him to marry her, so she had to do all that it would take, making sure the terms and boundaries of the agreement was kept. 

Even at that, Margaret was more of being forceful in her acts, the entire event was somehow becoming a reality. She could feel it flowing naturally as if it wasn't a planned deal. The coordination between Mike and herself was obviously real, anyone, no matter where the person might have come from; who saw them would know they were either husband and wife or meant for each other. The same thing was happening to Mike, he was so naturally acting his role that unknowing to him, he had already assumed the position. He understood that Margaret was trying to save him from going overboard, as she had seen that the answers that were coming from him were to please her and and protect her interest as he had promised. 

While they lay side by side on the bed chatting and planning for the launch time, Margaret was targeting a positioning that would give room for her to seduce him, she kept watching him and shifting closer to him playfully. One of the things they had discussed which she warned Mike not to fall into the trap, was the issue of commitment to marriage. She warned him that the family had already accepted him as their in-law, and that they wouldn't mind doing anything to see them settled. As for Mike, he hadn't thought of such, all he was doing was to act his role accordingly, but unconsciously, he was almost at the verge of getting into the trap. 

Margaret changed the topic to something playful, she held Mike's hand and massaged it, she had seen that Mike was absent minded when it comes to feeling her presence around him, so she took the bold step to lure him. She took his hand and dropped it on her chest making him feel the big round boobs. Mike turned and looked at her, from the look on her face, he understood what she wanted. He thought of denying her,  but changed his mind, basically for two reasons, one being that she would feel embarrassed, the second was that he was already aroused by the massage and what he felt when his hand touched her boobs. His dick had already begun its journey of getting hard, and Margaret had noticed it. He turned around and held her close to himself, then he planted a kiss on her forehead which made Margaret smile. She was always eager to see Mike in charge whenever they were to get intimate, it was an enjoyable moment that she never would like to miss. Mike was an expert in that, he does not rush it, rather he gradually lead her from one level of ecstacy to another until they got to the clouds and beyond. She looked at the wall clock and saw that it was about one hour twenty five minutes to launch time. Would this be enough for this erotic journey she thought, she wouldn't want to stop half way, but she had already initiated the movement. She had to find an acceptable and understanding excuse to stop them until after launch. Mike's right hand was already fondling her left breast which was heaving up and the nipples were getting sensitively hard because of the touch. She was already feeling some sensuality in-between her legs, as luck would have it, her phone rang. Margaret pretended she didn't want to leave Mike for the call, until Mike told her to get her call. She then took the call, it was a business call which took a long time, by then the feelings had gone down.

The launch time message was passed via the intercom by the house keeper, as it was with the family routine, they were to dress casual. They had changed the initial plan of having a business chat that afternoon and postponed it to dinner. That meant they would be celebrating Grand pa at launch time. Margaret and Mike decided to put on something that was befitting of a couple or would be couple as the case was. They wore Blue Jeans and white tops, and white sneakers to match. When they had dressed up, they looked at each other in admiration, Margaret for the first time felt the need for the act to become real. She had become so used to Mike in these few days that her mind wished so. She had to force such thought out of her mind, considering her person and position, it would be seen by Mike that she had it planned from the onset of she tried considering such thought, She would only make it a wish.

Launch was interesting, especially to Mike, he was getting to know more about Mexican culture and traditions, from the family. The first was food, he could still remember the breakfast which he actually enjoyed, now launch was served. Margaret told him the first course meal is called Consume, it was a soup. He was meant to understand that it could also be a salad, depending on what the family choice was. The launch was always a two course meal, according to Margaret. Mike wondered what the soup would taste like, finally when he took the first scoop, he couldn't believe how delicious it was, he enjoyed every bit of it. The Consume was followed by Rice, beans, there was also corn tortillas. They had Chicken and few seafoods to go with it. Mike had always been a lover of seafood, this made the meal more appetizing to him. 

Everyone ate without much talk, except on few occasions when Grand pa asked for one thing or the other. It was after the Meal, that the cake for the celebration was rolled in on a trolley. It was a beautiful sight to behold, the cakes where made in seven steps. Mike wondered why seven, the one on the ground, was the biggest, followed by the second and so on. He asked Margaret why the made seven cakes, she responded that each of it was significantly for the marriage anniversary, which coincidentally happened to fall in the same day Grand pa was celebrating his birthday. Although their Mom was late, it would have been seventieth wedding anniversary, each of the cakes, stood for ten years. 

There wasn't much that was said, they gathered around Grandpa, flanking him both sides and behind, the cake was positioned on the table and decorated with beautiful flowers and candles. The baker was present and handled the decoration as an expert. The family photographer took several shots before the sang birthday songs again. Grandpa did the cutting of the cake and received clapping ovations. One of the cake was shared amongst all which they are with some bottles of good wine. Mostly the Greek kind of wine made o grape.

While they drank, Grand pa took excuse from all and addressed Mike. He welcomed him officially to the family, and mentioned that he was standing in gap for Margaret's Dad who was unavoidably absent due to his work. Mike had already known from Margaret that her Dad wouldn't be around. It was part of what helped in making the plan easier. Grand pa continued his speech, by thanking him for the deal which he brought to their company. He told him that it wouldn't be  a bad idea to act like Oliver twist by asking for more. At this point he referred to Mike as their Son-in-law. Every one cheered and clapped after the speech, Mike and Margaret looked at each other, Margaret gave him a nod which he understood and stood up. He in turn appreciated the old man and everyone in he family, he told them that he enjoyed being in their midst, and promised he would try and bring in more business when he returned to Africa. It was such a smart and short response which Margaret admired so much. 

By the time he sat down, voices began to whisper, he couldn't understand why, it was when Grand pa asked why the noise, that one of them stood up and asked;

When are we expecting this Marital Union?
