as other stones making an amazing collection available. A particularly
beautiful bracelet of gold swirl design filled with diamonds and several large
diamonds evenly spaced around the bracelet was displayed. Lily gasped and said,
“Oh isn’t that beautiful?”
Several people bid on it and the bidding
was quite lively until the price became so high. At this point, Andre raised
his bidding card. Lily looked quickly at him and said, “Don’t buy that. It’s
too expensive.”
Andre ignored her and when the other
bidders dropped out, he had purchased the bracelet. He went up to the table,
paid for the bracelet and brought it back to their table. He handed a black
velvet box to Lily. When she didn’t open it, he took the bracelet out of the
box and slid it onto her wrist. ”I have been thinking about getting a gift for
you and this just looked like it should be on your wrist,” said Andre.
“Thank you, Andre. It is so beautiful
but I’m not sure a brother would buy such an expensive gift for his sister,”
said Lily. Softly Andre reminded her, “Everybody is watching us. Smile and act
pleased, maybe kiss me.” She realized he was right and smiled a big smile and
sighed. “Oh, Andre, it’s so beautiful. Thank you, darling.” Then she leaned
over and kissed him passionately and lengthy. Then she held out her arm for
Molly and Jacqueline to see the bracelet and they both exclaimed over its
beauty. Andre had expected a light kiss instead of an open mouth kiss with her
tongue in his mouth. He was shaken and felt that kiss all the way to his toes.
He realized he had a real problem where Lily was concerned. He wanted her badly
and admitted to himself what he had been denying. He was in love with her.
Everyone agreed they were ready to leave
so they said goodnight to Jacqueline and when their limo arrived, sank into the
soft leather interior with a sigh of pleasure. Lily sighed and said, “It’s
always such a pleasure to sink into these wonderfully comfortable seats after a
night out.”
Molly agreed and added that she enjoyed
this night out so much. “I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed dancing. It was
a major part of my life for so long. I’m so out of shape, though. One more set
would have killed me. And it was so wonderful seeing Tony again. We were
partners for so many years. Thank you for taking me along tonight. I really
enjoyed it.”
Lily assured Molly they enjoyed having
her along and hoped she would accompany them again soon.
Upon arrival at their apartment
building, they all greeted Louis and he reported to Andre that there had been
no unexpected visitors.
The next morning Lily’s phone rang and
to her surprise it was Andre. He asked if she wanted to go to the beach that
afternoon. Of course, Lily was thrilled and they made arrangements for
mid-afternoon.
When Andre came to her door, she opened
it wearing shorts, silk blouse and sandals. He whistled and said, “Nice legs.” Then
he realized that she didn’t have anything else with her. “Is that all you have
to take?” She replied that she had a big bag and he suggested she take it. When
she returned with a big silk embroidered bag, he asked, “Don’t you have a swim
suit or hat?”
“Andre, you know I’ve never been to the
beach so, of course, I don’t have beach stuff. I thought there would be shops
where we could get what I need,” replied Lily.
“I should have realized that, Lily.
There are shops all along the beach so we can get you a swim suit, hat and
beach towel.
There were many shops carrying beach
essentials and non-essentials. They looked through the swim suit display and
Andre immediately picked out a red bikini with tie straps and a red hat to
match. “Try this on,” he said. She came out of the dressing room wearing her
shorts and silk shirt. “I have on the bathing suit,” she told him and gave him
the tag she had taken off the suit. With beach towel and sun tanning lotion,
they headed for the beach.
