Southern Charm (3 page)

“
Blah, Blah Blah,” Logan
said opening and closing his hand like a quacking duck.

*******

Ring. Ring. Shelby’s cell phone was
ringing. “Cassidy, can you please get my phone for me?” Shelby
yelled from the dressing room. Cassidy had demanded that Shelby go
shopping with her and get a whole new wardrobe and let her pick
everything. She had already selected thirteen new outfits and she
was STILL trying on clothes.

“
Darling, you just worry
about putting those triple D Tata’s in that sexalicious bra!”
Cassidy yelled from the other side of the dressing room
door.

“
Excuse me, ladies, can
you keep your voices down, please.” The sales clerk had her nose
turned up at Shelby from the moment they walked in the
door.

“
Excuse me? As much money
as we are about to spend in this store, we are allowed to have a
Ditty party up in here if we want to!” Cassidy said to the clerk.
Shelby squealed and started laughing hysterically. “Why don’t you
get my friend and me a glass of Champagne and take that stick out
your ass while you are back there,” Cassidy finished with that
distinct southern drawl shooing the sales clerk away.

“
Well, I never!” the clerk
said stomping away.

“
Ha, that ain’t
surprising!” Cassidy yelled, “And you never will, walking like
that. I think your thong is too tight!” she finished as the clerk
stomped around the corner.

“
CASSIDY! Stop that and
hand me my phone!” Shelby said sticking her hand over the top of
the stall.

“
Oh, cool your britches,
girl. I have the phone,” Cassidy said to Shelby looking at the
phone. Hitting the ‘send’ button, she said, “Hey, sexy, how I can
suck your dick for you today?” Cassidy said into the
phone.

“
CASSIDY! WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?! WHO IS THAT?” Shelby said trying to wrestle her way into
another sexy bodycon sheath dress that Cassidy had picked out for
her to try on while trying to get out the door to snatch her phone
from her.

“
Ha-ha... Oh, calm down,
Shelby! It’s just Lance and he knows I will suck his dick whenever
he wants,” she said into the phone before handing it to Shelby over
the black dressing room door. Cassidy knew she had better give her
the phone before she had a stroke. It sounded like she was
wrestling a wild boar in that stall.

“
Honestly! Cassidy, I
wonder about you sometimes,” Shelby said taking the phone and
putting it to her ear. “Hi, Lance! I am so sorry about that,” she
finished speaking into the phone.

Lance was laughing on the other end.
“It’s alright. Cassidy has been the same her whole life; I would
expect nothing less,” Lance said. “She better be careful. One of
these days I am going to take her up on that dick sucking
proposition.” “LANCE! I don’t want to hear that!” Shelby said
flabbergasted. “La La La” she finished putting her empty hand over
her ear.

“
Simmer down, Shelby!”
Lance said laughing “It’s not like I am asking you to watch,” Lance
finished laughing

“
I swear I do not know why
I associate with you people. I assume you called me for a reason
other than talking dirty,” Shelby said to her friend looking at
herself in the mirror in this hip-hugging royal blue bodycon dress
that was off the shoulders with a split-up the thigh. She had to
admit she looked pretty hot.

“
Oh yeah!” Lance said
“With all the dick sucking talk, I almost forgot. I have to leave
town in the morning.” “WHAT?” Shelby squealed dropping her cell
phone. “SHIT” she said leaning down to pick up the phone. Knock
Knock, Cassidy was at the door.

“
Shelby, are you ok? Did
Lance finally tell you he is madly in love with you?” Cassidy said
through the door.

“
Cassidy! STOP THAT! Give
me a minute. I am fine,” She said finally getting the phone back to
her ear. Shelby sat down on the pink velour bench in the dressing
room. “What do you mean you have to leave town tonight?” She said
into the phone.

“
Calm down, Shelby! Let me
explain,” Lance said to her. While Lance explained what was going
on with the auction and his plan with his brother, Shelby listened
with her head in her hands and her eyes closed. After two minutes,
Lance was done explaining and Shelby was still silent. “Shelby, are
you still there?”

“
I... Lance… Your brother
hates me!” Shelby stammered. Although she had a small crush on
Lance when they were in high school, it had been nothing to the
cum-leaking adoration she felt toward Logan. And he thought she was
a poor little rich girl and made sure she knew he disliked
her.

“
He does not, Shelby! What
would make you think such a thing?” Lance said.

“
Oh! I don’t know, let me
see! The last time he came to visit us at college I kissed him. I
admit I was drunk but I couldn’t help myself and he said he would
never have a rich bitch like me!” Shelby said yelling into the
phone.

“
What? Are you sure that
is what he said?” Lance said to her. There was one thing that Logan
had always been was a defender of women and knowing that his
brother had always had a thing for Shelby he could not imagine him
talking to her that way.

“
YES! Well, I think… I was
drunk. I just… Lance, how are he and I suppose to pass off being in
a relationship when he does not even like me. You know that dinner
is tomorrow!” Shelby said hysterically starting to
hyperventilate.

“
Shelby! Relax!” Lance
said to her. Cassidy opened the dressing room door hearing her yell
again.

“
For God’s sake, Shelby,
you are screaming like you got caught with your pants down! What in
heaven’s name is wrong with you?” Cassidy said.

“
Lance has to go out of
town and Logan is going to pretend to be him for my sister’s
wedding week!” Shelby said dropping her head between her
knees.

“
Well, ain’t that the
berries!” Cassidy said excitedly.

“
NO! NO, Cassidy, it’s
not!” Shelby said loudly.

“
Oh, Shelby, don’t get
your panties in a bunch!” Cassidy said taking her phone. “Lance,
tell Logan the pertinent things he needs to know and send him to
Shelby’s tonight to take her to dinner so they can talk and, tell
him to bring flowers,” she said to Lance before she hung up the
phone.

“
Cassidy! Why did you do
that? How am I supposed to go to dinner with him tonight?” Shelby
said to her standing up still in a full panic.

“
Oh relax! We are going to
get your hair done and finish shopping and tonight when Logan sees
you; if he did dislike you, he won’t anymore,” Cassidy said winking
at her friend and walking out of the dressing room. Shelby put her
head back against the wall groaning.

“
Oh, when I get through
with you; that is what Logan will be doing, moaning all night
long!” Cassidy said laughing as she walked away to find some
garters.

CHAPTER 3

“
Cassidy, I CAN NOT wear
this!” Shelby said to her friend looking in the mirror. Cassidy had
talked her into buying the dress but she had not expected she would
ever wear it. She had to admit it was very sexy on and she had
never felt this good in a dress before. Cassidy had taken her to a
new lingerie boutique that had recently opened there called Eve’s
Lace and she had gotten some of the most risqué underwear she had
ever seen. Shelby was used to her six pack of Fruit of the Loom’s,
size 7. They had always done just fine but the ones she had on now
were black Silkscreen-printed stretch tulle shorts embellished with
tiny Swarovski pearls and glitter polka dots. The decoration
created a sensual tattoo effect on the skin. She could not wear a
bra because her emerald green dress had a low-cut V neck that came
down to stop just at the bottom of her breast bone. The dress
stopped at her knee and had long sleeves. Cassidy had taken her to
her salon and after three hours of being plucked, coiffed, curled,
and dyed, she had left with new contact; money could get you
anything. Her light brown hair, taken out of the ponytail she
always had it in had blond streaks throughout. She had her eyebrows
shaped, which hurt like hell. She was going to have to talk to
Cassidy about that. The enethstatician had told her that her
eyebrows looked like caterpillars! She was wearing makeup and she
had to admit that she liked the way her face looked. Her eyebrows
were dusted in a golden high shine sea green and her lips were a
sexy red. Shelby had never imagined with her chocolate brown skin
that she could look this amazing in red lipstick. Her eyes are a
deep coffee brown but with the make-up, they had a Carmel shine.
Cassidy had insisted she leave her hair down in large flowing curls
around her shoulders with gold Egyptian earrings, gold bangle
bracelets and a pair of 6-inch gold and emerald green open toe
bootie. Shelby felt sexy and daring and totally out of her
element.

“
Oh, shut up, Shelby! You
look ridiculously hot! Logan is going to eat you alive tonight!”
Cassidy said looking at her and taking a sip of a
Cosmopolitan.

“
I seriously doubt that! I
will be shocked if he says anything to me all night,” Shelby
said.

“
Logan is hog wild for
you, Shelby. He always has been. I do not know where you got the
theory that he doesn’t like you but I will lick a horse’s ass on a
Sunday if I have not seen that man staring at you in lust from
across the room!”

Laughing out loud, Shelby started to
put her new make-up in her clutch. “I declare, you are prone to
exaggeration, Cassidy. He will probably be looking in total disgust
from across the room,” Shelby said.

“
Are you kidd…?” Cassidy
started to say before the doorbell interrupted her. Ding dong
“Well, now we shall see what he thinks,” Cassidy said rubbing her
hands together heading for the front door. Shelby was all of a
sudden feeling fat and very short of breath.

“
Cassidy, don’t you dare
embarrass me!” Shelby yelled after her. Cassidy had already told
her that she would not be answering the door when Logan arrived;
that a true Southern Diva should make an entrance. Logan was a
half-hour early. She could not keep him waiting that long, could
she?

“
Shelby, darling, Logan is
here for you!” Cassidy said to her.

As Shelby got to the top of the steps,
she heard Logan say unexpectedly,

“
DAMN!” He was staring at
Shelby like she was a tall glass of ice cold water to a dying man
in the desert.

“
Ha! I told you!” Cassidy
said clapping her hands and smiling at Shelby. “I know what gets a
man’s dick hard and you are it, love.”

“
CASSIDY!” Shelby said at
the same time as Logan said, “Cassidy! You are such a fucking lady,
Cassidy.” They were both shaking their heads.

“
Thank you. I am so glad
you two can appreciate the sexy beast I am. But this is not about
me,” Cassidy said walking into Shelby’s den to get her purse while
Logan and Shelby talked for a minute. Cassidy was thinking of the
first time she met Logan and Lance. Although Lance was good looking
and they were twins, Logan had been, and still was, everything to
her. She would pay top dollar to take a bite out of that
crime.

“
Wow, Shelby you look...”
Logan said looking her up and down. She was stunning; not that she
was not before but she was much more accentuated like this and his
dick was getting hard, to be honest with you.

“
I look…?” Shelby said
leaving the end of the sentence open for him to answer. Shelby was
starting to feel uncomfortable, so she started to look around her
foyer. She had not even realized that the stained glass windows had
finally been installed on either side of the front door today.
Shelby LOVED her townhome. The interiors of her townhouse had been
updated to meet contemporary standards of luxury while preserving
their historic character. The kitchen and bathrooms were renovated
with custom stone tiling, top-of-the-line appliances, and stylish
fixtures. Meanwhile, historic details remained, including graceful
floor-to-ceiling windows, wood-burning fireplaces, and ornate
mantelpieces. Shelby had fallen in love with this home’s Italianate
garden, complete with a Renaissance-style fountain. Then when you
stepped out into the gardens, there was a lush oasis that few
Georgians are ever privileged to explore.

Shelby and Logan were so deep into
their own thoughts they did not realize that Cassidy was off the
phone and watching them.

“
Well, you could cut the
sexual tension in here with a chainsaw,” Cassidy laughed smiling.
“Why don’t you two get going? Have a great night.”

“
Oh, I am so sorry. Yes,
are you ready to go?” Logan asked snapping out of his trance long
enough to get close to her and extend his elbow for her to loop her
arm; which she did.

“
Good night Cassidy. Thank
you so much for all your help today.”

Cassidy leaned in and kissed her on
the cheek and waived her thanks off. “Oh, please, darling, you know
I love you more than an 80-year old glass of cognac. Besides check
out the look on his face right now,” Cassidy said laughing. As
Logan and Shelby stepped out into the evening air, Shelby noticed
Lance’s car parked in front of her brownstone. “Oh my gosh, you got
Lance to leave you the keys to his baby?” Shelby said stopping and
looking at Logan. “What did he have to promise you to get you to go
out with me?”
