Chapter 18
Waking up early on Saturday, I skipped my run, took a shower, and dressed, then packed and loaded my bags, dirty clothes, and sheets into the Mustang. Then, I drank my protein shake and must have zoned out for a few minutes looking at the clock. After locking up my room, I drove to Orange County Airport and stopped for a drive-thru breakfast at Carl’s Jr. I met Martin Turner, my flight instructor, at the private terminal, and we filed our flight plan and then did the preflight inspection.
Martin said this is your solo flight and gave me a large envelope with paperwork. He wished me good luck and shook my hand. I was among the first to take off because of the early hour and the noise restrictions. I was nervous, but it felt good flying alone. When I landed at the ranch, Paula and Brad Davidson, my Arizona flight instructor, met me. We did the post-flight inspection, and Brad signed off on the paperwork, said congratulations, shook my hand, and took off.
I looked at Paula questioningly, and she laughed and then said I passed and have my pilot’s license. Then Cassy ran out of the ranch house and greeted me. I gave her some loving, and then she followed us inside. Hank said Cassy had already put on ten pounds and learned hand signals. We ate breakfast (my second), and Paula asked what I did to Gale. I laughed and said Melody asked me to dinner Thursday night to meet her parents.
The dinner ended with Melody, her Mom, Megan, and me. Her dad called to say he was working late, and shit hit the fan. Melody’s mom told her husband she was visiting her sister Gale this weekend in Arizona. They would talk about his living arrangements when she returned and say hello to your legal assistant slut for me, and Hank and Paula laughed.
Then I asked Melody’s mom her sister’s last name and found out it was Simmon. I told them about the Gala and our bet on Gale going commando. I told her to ask Gale if she always goes commando or just for special occasions. Well, Megan called Gale and said Melody’s date is having dinner with us tonight. He wanted to know if you always go commando or just for special events. Gale screamed and said I can’t believe Chase is there with you laughing. Hank and Paula laughed, and she said no wonder Gale is pissed at you.
After breakfast, we said goodbye to Hank and Cassy and flew back to Orange County Airport. Paula sat in the copilot seat, watched me, and complimented me after we landed. I helped her with her bags, and Paula said she would call me on Monday. We said goodbye, and I drove home.
Grandmother and Mom had lunch ready when I got home, and they wanted to know about the party and my flight to Arizona. While we ate, I told them about the party and Lori and Amber’s dates throwing up. They laughed when I told them I ended up with three dates. I left out the orgy and told them I escorted them back to their dorm after the party and then went to my dorm and went to bed.
Then I told them about my solo flight to Mrs. Davis’s ranch and getting my pilot’s license. They were happy I got my pilot’s license and asked me to look up their new SUV online. I got out my laptop, Googled GMC Acadia AT4, and clicked the link. Grandmother and Mom examined the SUV and liked all the accessories. When they were done, I unloaded the Mustang and unpacked. I brought my dirty clothes and sheets to the laundry, and they reminded me that we were going to dinner tonight.
I changed, shot hoops for an hour and a half, showered, and laid down for a nap. Mom woke me up, told me to get dressed, and quickly left. It was then I realized I was nude and laughed, getting dressed. When I got to the kitchen, Grandmother and Mom approved of clothes, and we took off for the restaurant. We stopped at an upscale steakhouse restaurant, and a valet took the SUV.
The maitre d’ led us to a private room, and when we entered, the lights turned on, and a chorus of “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” rang out. A banner said, “HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY CHASE,” I was surprised to see all the young women and girls from our neighborhood there. Tammy and Patty, Cassy and Cora, Myra, Maya and Maria, Sofia and Stacy, and Carly and Caitlin. I was mobbed with hugs and kisses, and then we all sat down for a nice steak dinner.
My birthday cake was brought out after dinner, and I blew out the candles. Then came the presents, and they all were gag gifts that relieved me and caused laughter. I got books on Grooming for Teenage Boys, Proper Etiquette at the Table, Dating Advise for Teenage Boys, and numerous other items. The party finally ended, and I thanked, hugged, and kissed everyone goodbye.
The staff helped us carry everything to the SUV, and we drove home. The Tahoe had a car cover on it, and Mom said it was one of their gifts to me. We unloaded the SUV, then sat at the kitchen table, and I asked how they knew who to invite. Grandmother and Mom laughed and said they had their ways. Then Grandmother set out drinks, and they proposed a toast and said, “Happy Birthday, Tan.” We drank, and then everything went dark, and I passed out.
Then my dream started, and I was before the former Emperor’s kneeling nude. Behind me were my Grandfather, Grandmother, and Mom, sprinkling something over me. My tattoos were illuminated and glowing. The former Emperor’s raised their scepters and brought them down to the ground with force. The ground shook, and then the former Emperor in the center said rise, Tan Nguyen, and adorn the new Emperor of China.
My Grandparents and Mom put on my ring, robe, ankle bands, a thick waist belt, wrist bands, and a headband. The former Emperor’s began chanting and banging their scepters on the ground. Then Grandfather gave me my scepter, which was moving in tandem with the former Emperor’s. Something was being sprinkled over me again, and then I blacked out.
I woke up nude in bed with a hard-on, looked around, and was in my room. Grandmother and Mom sat in chairs watching me and saw I was awake. Grandmother said I see you’re awake. Shower, and meet us in the kitchen. Mom said, “Take care of that, pointing at my hardon while you’re there,” they left laughing. I got up, showered, and took care of my hardon. The volume surprised me when I came, and then I dressed and went to the kitchen.
My stomach grumbled when I entered the kitchen, and Grandmother and Mom had breakfast on the table. As we ate breakfast, Grandmother asked what had happened after passing out the previous night. I told them about my dream with the former Emperor’s. Grandfather and they were also part of the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony, I told them I was anointed the new Emperor of China, and then everything went dark, and I woke up nude in my bed.
Grandmother said your Mom and I have had dreams, too. For the last few months, we would get occasional dreams with instructions on what to do and when to do them. You’ve also been having dreams preparing you for your transition. Obviously, you can’t assume the Emperor’s role in China, so there will be more dreams to guide us as we advance.
Now, the females at your birthday party are your core group or concubine. There will be others who are advisors or offer you support or comfort. According to our dreams, we are here as your advisors, and that special ingredient in our nighttime cream helps us stay young and vibrant to assist you. I looked shocked, and they laughed. Grandmother said we’ll leave it on your dresser when they need refilling and they chuckled.
She continued and said Mrs. Davis, or Paula as you call her, is also an important advisor to you and Tad Evans. Their partnership with you was somehow designed or arranged, so take advantage of them and others that come along. You will acquire important relationships at the university, so cultivate them to assist you in the future. Then she gave me my protein shake and said I needed it to help the transformation. I drank it, zoned out for a few minutes, and recovered.
Mom said you’re back. Let’s look at Paula and Tad’s birthday gift to you. I followed them outside, and Mom helped me remove the car cover. It was a different Chevy Tahoe with a bow on the steering wheel. There was an envelope on the driver’s seat so I opened it. Paula and Tad wished me a happy birthday. Paula had one of Tad’s company Tahoes due for replacement altered at a performance shop. It was one recommended by Dale at Radford Racing School.
Grandmother and Mom wanted a ride, so I took them for a spin, and they were impressed. On the drive home, Mom said we struggled to find the perfect gift for your birthday. Finally, we came up with an ideal gift, which enhanced our security simultaneously. We bought a cabin in Big Bear as a vacation place and a safe house if something happens. I thanked them and could hardly wait to see it.
When we got home, I went upstairs, changed, and shot hoops in the driveway. Mom called outside, saying that lunch would be ready in fifteen minutes. I went inside and tried to hug Mom, but she danced away. Laughing, she told me to get my sweaty ass in the shower. So I went upstairs, showered, dressed, and returned to the kitchen.
During lunch, I read the list of improvements on the Tahoe. The paint was a rough, scratch-resistant coat. There were cameras on all sides and enhanced bumpers. The motor and suspension were enhanced with special tires. And finally, a custom alarm system would render the Tahoe useless if hotwired. I had just finished reading the specs when my phone rang.
It was Paula, and she asked how my birthday was and if I liked my present. I told her, great and thanked her and Tad for the Tahoe. She laughed and said, you’re welcome, but I have a favor to ask. Paula wanted me to drive her to the airport tomorrow morning, and I said I would be glad, too. I agreed to be at her townhouse at 6:30 a.m., and we said goodbye.
Grandmother said it was impossible to turn down her request after her present. I said there’s more to this than a ride to the airport. I’ll bet she has a list of things that need to be done while she’s away and probably plans for next weekend. She must permanently reside in Arizona to run for the Senate in the next election. So, coming back here will be an occasional weekend visit. Mom said Paula would have a lot to do quickly moving to Arizona.
After lunch, I went to the study and spent the next couple of hours doing my coursework for my online classes. Then I hiked to my rock at the top of the hill, stripped, sat on the rock, and meditated. When I reached my meditative plane, I went deeper, and the knowledge from the former Emperors started to unscramble. I learned from this burst to use my skills to gain influence and trusted allies who would protect me. I would never be Emperor of China. But I could achieve something similar here, working quietly and unnoticed in the background.
I exited my meditative state, went to the cave pool, and floated in the water, gathering energy. When I was full, I went to the cave entrance dressed and returned home. Dinner was ready when I arrived, so we sat and ate. Grandmother slid a new bottle of their nighttime lotion to me. She said to add your ingredients and use your skills to have Paula use it every night. It’s worked wonders for us, looking younger and adding energy. Paula will be stressed in her new position, and the lotion will help her.
I smiled, and they laughed. And Grandmother said she is important in your trusted group, so look after her. I asked what happens if other people like Gale ask what she’s using to look so good. They thought for a few minutes, then said it depends on who it asks. Think of instructions to give her and make it a selected few if she shares her secret. You’ll have to be able to benefit from it, so you’ll be involved. Keep the list short, and only influential females that could help Paula and you. Otherwise, have her say diet, exercise, proper rest, and genetics.
After dinner, I went to my room and practiced telekinesis for an hour, then sensed the area. Nothing was out of the ordinary, so I went to bed and fell asleep immediately. I felt a calming feeling radiating through my body. Changes were being made, and someone guided me through the process, and then I went into a deep, relaxing sleep.
Waking up early, I dressed in sweats and went to the gym. I worked out on the heavy bag and weights for an hour and then returned to my room feeling energized and pumped. After my shower, I dressed and drove the modified Tahoe to Paula’s. I arrived fifteen minutes early and rang the doorbell. Paula answered the door in a robe and pulled me into her bedroom. She said I need this and pulled down my pants and engulfed my cock. I couldn’t hold out long when she started humming and came.
Paula was dazed, so I lifted her onto the bed, put on a rubber, and slowly entered her. I was only halfway in when she pulled me the rest of the way in. Then Paula started rocking her hips to meet my thrusts and wrapped her legs around my waist. She held me in deep, and we came together, and then Paula passed out. I pulled out and then added the contents of the rubber to the nighttime lotion I had brought.
When Paula woke, I tapped my Emperor’s crest twice, paused, and twice again. Her eyes glazed over, and I told her to use the nighttime lotion I gave her every night. It will make you feel relaxed and well-rested in the morning. It’s our secret, so tell no one unless they are influential and can help us. Ask me before you say anything, and we’ll discuss it. Otherwise, if someone asks about your appearance, say diet, exercise, proper rest, and genetics.
I dressed, waited a few minutes, and said it’s about time you got up. Paula laughed, jumped up, grabbed the nighttime lotion, and told me to find something to do while I get ready. I went to the study, checked the computer, and ran a virus scan. It found a virus that copied all her emails received and sent. I unplugged the internet cable, then copied the virus to a USB stick and deleted it from her computer. Then I searched for the source and found it in an e-mail from David Brown. I copied the email to the USB stick and then deleted the email.
Paula came into the study and asked what I was doing. I asked who David Brown was, and she looked worried. Paula said he’s a mover and shaker in Arizona politics. Why? I said let’s get on the road, and then we’ll talk. We loaded her bags in the Tahoe and took off. I told Paula I found a virus on her computer that copies all her emails received and sent. The virus was sent to you in an email by David Brown.
She said shit, that asshole was offering to back me in my senate run. I told her I deleted the email and virus and copied it to a USB stick. If you give me the word, I can ruin David Brown’s day, month, and year. Paula laughed and said do it and let me know what you find. Then she handed me her house key and a folder of things to do while she was gone. Paula said we’d meet at the ranch this weekend and review the details again if I missed something.
I dropped her off at the airport and drove home. I stopped by Carl’s Jr. for drive-thru breakfast on the way. When I got home, I ate my fast food breakfast and told Grandmother and Mom about my drive to the airport. As I figured, Paula asked me to check her house and pick up the mail. I’m sure there’s more, but I’ll find out this weekend. By the way, she has her nighttime lotion with instructions, and everyone laughed.
After eating my late breakfast, I went to the study and checked out the virus. It was a simple virus, and David Brown must have sent to all his contacts to keep an eye on them. I thought for a few minutes, then decided to send my worm to him from my Hotmail email account. I titled it Jucy Info on Paula Davis. Then I told David to check out the sample, and I would send more for a price if I liked it. I signed it, Snoop Dog, and sent it. The picture was a stock photo of a girl in a bikini.
