Thank you guys, here is more.
..........................................
I start my treatment slowly, JJ have scheduled my treatment slowly, has usual he is very patient with me but encourage me to go a little more each day. I am so grateful to have him and to Stephane to have arranged the whole thing.
Friday late morning, Stephane receive his Brother and sister for the long weekend, I was still having my treatment when they arrived. I was having my shower when Stephane comes into our bedroom to say we are having lunch with his brother and sister in the garden.
I quickly change into a light white linen pants and black linen shirt folded up on my arms.
I walk into the garden, a guy younger then Stephane, in his later 50's and a lady in her late 50's too sitting with Stephane having a drink.
Stephane notice me and stood up. Are you alright?
Yes I am thank you.
Gill, my brother and Amelia my sister.
Hello nice meeting you both.
Gill stood up, he is as tall as Stephane, clean shaved, thinner then Stephane and good looking too. Amelia, she has a bright friendly face, elegantly dress and charming. Nice meeting you too James say both of them.
Would you like a glass of champagne James? Stephane asked?
No thank you, can I have a glass of water please.
Are you sure?
yes I am, I am thirsty at the moment, I might have one after the water.
Stephane told us that you injured yourself from work? Gill asked.
Yes, carrying heavy things, my disk on my back twisted and I can't moved for a few weeks, it was worse after that, I had to have an operation. Now I am going through therapy.
That is awful say Amelia.
It could be worse, thank god the operation when well. I say.
So where are you having your therapy? Gill asked me.
Stephane jump in to answer the question.
James and I met in the private clinic, I asked James to come here to finish his treatment, he will be here until he is recover.
Oh, I didn't know we have the facilities here. Gill say.
I've employed a personal therapy for James, he have been treating James when we were in the clinic.
Ah ok.
Amelia was looking at me and Stephane, I think she is studying us. Looking at her I know she know what is going on, but she did not say anything. She smile at me.
When you had your bike accident, you were here for your treatment too and I hired personnel therapy for you. You were healed within 3 months. It is a good place to relax and a place for recover. Stephane say to Gill.
Yes I remembered that, it was a hard time for me but you looked after me well. Thanks Bro.
What do you do to carry heavy stuff? Asked Amelia.
I work in a vine yard in Bordeaux.
Oh that is interesting. So you know about wine?
Yes I do, I studies wine for almost 6 years now from planting to processing it.
Wow, I would have love to do it but I don't have the time. Say Amelia.
I remembered someone told me, time is for you to manage, there are always time for something but you are the only one that can decide what to do with it. If one sit doing nothing, time flies, and you have nothing to gain, if you make time to do something, you gain more each day.
Oh my that is so well said, definitely a wise though. Added Amelia.
A maid comes over to let us know when we want our lunch to be serve.
Stephane asked her to serve when it is ready.
Do you like it here James? Amelia asked me.
Yes, it is extremely beautiful, quiet and tranquil here. I haven't visit the house yet, I am sure it is as nice as the rest.
Did Stephane mention that this house used to our parents?
Yes he did mention that. He took over and renovated this house.
He did a great job with it, it was old and falling apart. Look at it now, it is beautiful.
You all grew up here I supposed?
Yes we did, we all have our own room, it was very special, we used to play all the time in the garden, it was nothing like this but it was a fun place and a great place to grow up. I left at the age of 24, got married and worked in Zurich, after divorced, I come back here for a few years, now I work with Stephane, I am in charge of accounting in his company and I live in outskirt of Basel.
I look at Gill.
Well, I work for Stephane in one of his restaurant, a 2 stars Micheline. I am a chef, I am also in charge of other restaurant Stephane owned. Married but divorce too, have a living in girlfriend at the moment.
No kids?
I have one boy, he is in his mid 20's, working in a bank in Luxembourg.
I have 2 girls, in their 20's too, one is married and the other one is working in London.
What about you James? Asked Amelia.
I've never been marry, I used to work in the hotel industries but quit after a long time at it, I travelled and come over to Europe, got my work with this Vineyard company, I work 6 months in France and then I go where ever it takes me. A simple bachelor life.
How old are you if may ask?
I am 56.
We are same age, say Amelia, smiling. Gill is 3 years older. Stephane is the elders.
Why aren't you marry? Playboy? Gill asked laughing.
No He is gay. Stephane chipped in.
Gill show a shocked face, while Amelia smile.
You're too elegant and good looking to be straight. Say Amelia laughing.
Stephane and me laugh too except Gill.
When you walk down the stair, I notice you have a flair, you carried yourself very well, like a top model, she laughs. You dressed and groomed extremely well too. Not many like you anymore. She laughs again.
Gill switch in French, asking his brother if he know I am gay?
His brother reply by saying yes.
Gill asked his brother again, why I am here?
Stephane replied that he asked me to come over here to keep him company and also to do the rest of my treatment. here.
One thing that Gill said that I had to responds.
He say to his brother that I might be a crooks and that his brother doesn't know me well enough to have me in the house.
I replied in French.
I told him that he don't have to worry about me, I am not interested in anything his brother have.
They were in shocked when I speak French. Stephane was embarrassed, Amelia covered her mouth in shocked, Gill look lost.
You speak and understand French? Stephane asked me.
Stephane, I work in France, what do you think I speak, Chinese? Of course I speak French and other languages too.
Oh my god, you speak so fluently. Say Amelia. You are smart too. She laughs.
Stephane look at Gill. Listen, I don't need your permission to invite anyone here. It is my house and I do what ever I want and who I want to come here.
What you just said it very wrong and I hope you will apologise.
I am sorry James, I didn't mean to say anything in anyway hurtful, I just care about my brother.
Not to worry Gill, I understand.
Thank you James.
You said you speak other languages, what else do you speak beside English and French?
I speak Manderine, Cantonese, Bahasa Indonesia, Malay, Thai and other Chinese languages.
Jesus, how do you speak all that? Asked Stephane.
I learned them when I was young and some I studied in School. I Studied my French when I arrive in France, studied a year in Sorbonne University.
Oh wow, that is a prestigious University in Paris. say Amelia.
It is a University for me, nothing prestigious about it.
You are so modest. She laugh again.
After lunch Amelia asked me if I would like to have a walk in the garden?
I say yes. Stephane when to his office with his brother.
We walk around, she had her hand under my arms.
You know something James.
I look at her.
I notice something about my brother today when I arrived. He looks happy and so relax. I was wondering what has changed him, until I notice you walking down the stair. It hits me then, my brother and you are together. I also notice how he look at you, a twinkle in his eyes and a soft face.
You know he lost his wife 5 years ago?
Yes, he told me that.
He has not been the same since, he is withdrawn, isolated himself and unhappy most of the time, it is like he give up. But today, he looks happy, laughing and very relax. If there is anything got to do with you, I am happy you did it because none of us can make him happy.
It was a shocked to know my brother are gay, I never though he was, but if he is happy, so be it.
Can I be honest with you Amelia?
I don't think your brother is gay.
Oh?
Let me explain.
We met in the private clinic, we chatted and I seduced him, after I know he is widow. One thing lead to another, we end up in bed. I think he is going through an experience. Who know what happen after I leave.
Are you both in love?
Yes we are.
Do you love my brother? I know my brother love you, I can see it in hs eyes.
Yes I do.
Well you can't leave him, he will be devastated.
Like I said, I don't know what will happen. We have only been together for 2 weeks, it when too fast. He asked me to come over after a week we met, he told me he love me after 3 days. I don't know if he is thinking straight, we haven't really got a chance to talk but we will.
Stephane is a very generous, caring, loving and very romantic person. I will not do anything to hurt him, that I can promise you.
I know you wouldn't hurt my brother. I hope both of you will be together. She squeezed my arms gently.
We walk back into the house, I when to my room and lie in bed, my back hurts from walking too long.
Stephane walk in.
Alright my love?
Yes my darling, a bit tired from walking.
Why don't you have a rest and I come to get you later?
Why don't you lie beside me my darling and hold me.
He comes over and hugs me.
For once I feel safe in someone arms, I needed it and he is perfect.
