Chapter 27 - 27 Come to me

Janette took a long drink trying to think about, this strange guy she was confused about what she really thought about him. In a way, she sympathized with him in the fact that he has lost his first real love but she thought that he was still kind of creepy at the same time.

When she set the glass down she said, "He slid close looked me in the eyes then took my hand and gently kissed me on the lips. I could tell that really meant something to him it was as if I was his lost love. I really felt the passion that he was giving there was no way that this was fake I believe that I saw a tear come from under the mask that he had been wearing. I have to tell you that it really touched my heart I am not sure if it was all just a ploy for sympathy or it was real but it felt real to me. After the kiss, it was like his eyes glazed over and he was in a trance or something like that. The fact that it was like he was not seeing me anymore I was his love and he gripped my hand lightly and then said nothing he stood and pulled me along with him to the next room."

Janette paused for a moment to check out the expressions of the others she could tell that there were with her in feeling sorry for him. Then she said, "I looked around the room and it had been set up to look like a high-powered office just what you would have expected someone dressed in a suit like he had on to be in. The room was a very large one and on one wall was what looked like it was all windows that we're overlooking a large city from way high in the tall skyscraper. I was blown away if I had not seen where we were or how we got there then I would have thought that we were in the city in a tall building. Not that it really mattered in the slightest but I just couldn't believe how much money it must have cost to set all this up. He pulled me to his desk and sat me down on his knee and this was the part I thought was so strange he told me to call him daddy. At first, I didn't understand I thought that he wanted me to call him daddy and in my father or adult figure and I must have got a weird or disgusted look on my face then he explained that it was not like that at all it was like a sugar daddy. He just wanted to be a provider for everything for me he explained the role that I would have would be kind of like a wife but it sounded more like I was going to be a live-in mistress that was there just to make babies for him without the security of the marriage license and I still don't know how I feel about that one."

Patty gasped at the thought that he only wanted her there to pop out babies and then what happens when and if he gets tired of her then he can just boot her out with nothing and keep the kids but she thought that at least this state enforces common law marriages where if she is doing all the duties of a wife she doesn't need the paper to get the support that she would be owed. Patty wondered what nationality that he was if they didn't have common-law marriages or she wondered if he was of a different race or religion where they couldn't get married to someone that is not the same as them.

Janette said, "At hearing what he was proposing I was just not sure if I was even willing to participate in something like that. But as I was thinking about it I looked him over a lot more carefully you could tell that he had money and not just a little. It looked like he was in a 5,000 dollar suit and the Rolex watch on his wrist. Everything about him screamed money and from what he was saying he was more than willing to take care of me for as long as I wanted and so would all our children. I was a little shocked when he said how many that he wanted. My mouth just about hit the floor when he said that he wanted me to have 8 children. He then explained that his brother had 7 and it was kind of a contest as to who would have the most and the family fortune would go to the one that wins the race. I thought what a thing to race with and what about the poor girls that would be having them I was sure that they would be forced into having baby after baby."

"He must have seen the troubled look on my face because he told me that all of that was negotiable. It was going to be important to see how well that we get along first as he kissed me again, and slid his hand along my bare skin. You could tell that he had never done a hard thing in his life by the fact that his hands were so smooth, and there was not a callus on them. I believe that I would be well taken care of by him just by the way he was acting the whole time we were together. I have seen other guys that were with others that acted that way, but I am not sure that is what I want in my life. For me, I mean that it isn't that I don't want to be loved and taken care of, but it's not like that is all I want my life to be. Although having children and being able to devote to them completely and not have to worry about working might not be that bad. But he wanted so many of them, and that worried me. Before you ask yes he wanted a sample of what it would be like but he was, for the most part, gentle, but I could see that he wanted things his way. I am not sure how he would act if they were not going his way. You know how it is when you first meet someone. You are on your very best behavior so that they like you more to like them. So anything that he was showing now was a real sign to pay attention to if we were going to have any kind of relationship, and it seemed to me that he wanted what he wanted and if I was going to be with him that it was going to have to be at his terms with very little negotiations. That always makes things harder for me in a way, but in a way not because since he was so unbending it was a simple choice yes or no at that point." Janette said as she pondered if she would want that many children.

Stacy and a couple of the others felt the same way as Janette they were just as torn as she was. Most of them were not even willing to considering having 8 children and still others the children didn't matter they just wanted someone to come and take care of them for the rest of their lives. being a housewife, well they guessed that you could call it a housewife it was more of a homemaker at that point. But that was not really a concern to them but most had to admit that if they were going to be with someone for a long time and especially if they were planning on having children especially a lot of children they wanted to be married.

Stacy asked, "What did you think of him? I mean is this something that you think you really want to do?"

Janette shrugged her shoulders and had a confused look on her face and said, "He was super sweet to me. I could tell that there were some things that he could be a little iffy on. It was like he had lines drawn in the sand, and as long as you keep between the lines all the world is good, but if you cross him then I don't know. It was just a feeling that I got from him it was like he was raised a certain way, and he was going to make sure that he raised his children in the same way."

Stacy nodded her head and said, "I see what you mean but at least you wouldn't have to worry about the children being too wild or him straying away from home that type of guy is usually pretty stable."

Janette said, "Yes. I think so too."
