Mikiesboy Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Extra hugs.. At some point today I'm going to need a bottle of wine.. Yes a bottle. I'm also going to conveniently use your birthday as an excuse to drink it up.. I'm only half kidding, but know I'll raise a glass in celebration of you.. Happy birthday my friend.. Noon...somewhere. ..lol. Mmmm having some wine later myself I think! Feel like getting a bit silly! 1

Mikiesboy Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Now why did that make me laugh? Lol - you tell me!!
Bucket1 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Heading off to bed to dream about Owen and how I can help make him smile Happy Birthday C 1
Mikiesboy Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Heading off to bed to dream about Owen and how I can help make him smile Happy Birthday C Shouldn't think you'd have any problem making Owen smile and make other appreciative sounds to go with the smile. 1
Kitt Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 You were still celebrating 420 two days later??? No wonder you slept in! Happy B-day bro! 1
Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted April 23, 2016 Site Moderator Posted April 23, 2016 Lol - you tell me!! I guess because it sounded like you were going to have a fun afternoon, so the thought of that made me laugh.
Mikiesboy Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I guess because it sounded like you were going to have a fun afternoon, so the thought of that made me laugh. Mmm was a very fun morning ... and I plan to have fun later too!! Wine could be involved. 1
Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted April 23, 2016 Site Moderator Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Mmm was a very fun morning ... and I plan to have fun later too!! Wine could be involved. Well, have fun then. Right now, I'm sitting here having my chocolate coffee wearing my cardigan. It's cold today! Brrr. Now I need to check out my Bookbub offers for today...

dughlas Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) First Happy B-day! Now as for CJ and Owen, yeah they make a great pair and Chipper may be correct ... all good things in time. But keep in mind CJ is a 16 yearold boy. His reasoning makes sense to him even as the rest of us question it. He can't always behave like a mature adult, and matters of the heart are the most likely area in which to display his youth. I expected the rotten behavior from Bernardo but still have hopes that J-M is going to display some balls. He and his cousin may have shared another boy in the past but this is CJ. A supposed friend and schoolmate. If harm should come to CJ it will get out and when it does there will be nowhere safe for J-M to hide from the Walls Posse. The fallout for CJ could be devastating but it could be equally so for Jose. He would be unwelcome at Walls and his father, a minor diplomate, could quickly become persona nongrata and expelled as well as censured by the foreign diplomatic corps, remember CJ is well liked but the Australian ambassdor. Returning home under such a cloud would greatly limit the family. Such behavior among men is not approved of in Venezuela. My own thought is that after CJ is drugged but before serious harm occurs J-M will summon help in the form of a certain doorman or barring that the doorman on duty will realize CJ is in danger and intercede. Okay Carlos you can now resume telling the story ... By the way, this was an exvellent chapter. Edited April 23, 2016 by dughlas 1

Okay Carlos you can now resume telling the story ... By the way, this was an exvellent chapter. I have to say Dugh this is a well bought out hypothesis. I hadn't factored the Walls Posse into the equation, but as far as M-J is concerned, this would pose the biggest threat to his well being. I wouldn't want to be the one confronted by an enraged Harley - and enraged he would be. Then there are all the influential political connections CJ has - so we have the dads, the Elite, the Walls Posse, the Australian Ambassador, Senator Rubio. Oh and let's not forget Colonel and Mrs. Edwards either. Oh boy, if Bernardo only knew... 1
Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted April 23, 2016 Site Moderator Posted April 23, 2016 Hmmpphhh... Of course you would take CJ's side CJ did the explaination after he stole Owen's heart... Just saying... True, but CJ is young and experienced when it comes to matters of the heart. He didn't set out to steal Owen's heart it just happened. Our boy is not that kinda guy after all.
Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted April 23, 2016 Site Moderator Posted April 23, 2016 Rub it in why dontcha? Did you drop the eight and now you're only five?
Carlos Hazday Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 I'm this many! (Carlos holds up his hand fingers widely splayed) Definitely enjoying the reaction to the chapter. It originally ended later than it did but I changed my mind during my final review before sending it to Mann. I expected some comments about the final scene but didn't realize I would strike such a nerve. Now I want Friday to hurry up and get here already.

Kitt Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 He will need the head start. If you start running now Carlos you may survive next Friday. I don't think that bunker is secure enough. 2

dughlas Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 You should be pleased, even a bit cocky ... however, now there is enormous anticipation for the next installment.
Carlos Hazday Posted April 24, 2016 Author Posted April 24, 2016 You should be pleased, even a bit cocky ... however, now there is enormous anticipation for the next installment. I know, right? There were threats on my life when I had Brett crash and now Kitt thinks my bunker may not be enough by having CJ about to get raped. I think I like living dangerously!
Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted April 24, 2016 Site Moderator Posted April 24, 2016 I just realized I might not be able to yell at you until next Sunday because I'll be away and out of internet range. Of all the weekends to be away! Drat.. Note to self: Set alarm for 4:30 a.m. next Friday. That should be enough time... 1
dughlas Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 After additional thought ... is it too far fetched to hope that Sean encounters our interpid trio while they are out and realizing CJ's condition steps in or perhaps Cristina [sp?] Okay, this week is too damn slow in passing! 1
Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted April 25, 2016 Site Moderator Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) After additional thought ... is it too far fetched to hope that Sean encounters our interpid trio while they are out and realizing CJ's condition steps in or perhaps Cristina [sp?] Okay, this week is too damn slow in passing! That sounds like a good twist, but would Sean have a reason to be in the same orbit as these three? As well, even if he happened to be at the same dinner as them (can't remember if he is a porno star or an escort), I think from what has already been said that the drugging is to take place at the apartment. Therefore, Sean would not be around. Then again, I'd bet that Sean could spot a dirtbag of Bernardo's ilk from a mile away. So, if he is at the dinner, he likely would intervene. Carlos, are we encroaching the boundaries of a fairytale with this hypothesis? Edited April 25, 2016 by Reader1810 1
Carlos Hazday Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 Sorry I've not been around a lot the past few days. Been dealing with family stuff and my time at the computer has been minimal. I've read all the comments on my phone but I won't even try replying on that thing. I still miss rotary phones, my fat fingers have problems with those tiny keys. I'll be in and out for a few more days but I'll post the next chapter today and set it to publish at the proper time on Friday. There will be NO interruptions. Lie's getting in the way but my commitment to my readers is important and I take it seriously. Means I have to scramble a bit and socialize a tad less but the show will go on. 3
