Chapter 18 : Enter, Madame Dolores Lafontaine-Martinez, & Little Adeline

"Well, I am actually looking for gainful employment." Lennon said, making everyone roar with even more laughter until Chéri coughed loudly, silencing them all.

In the corner of the event room, the doors opened and a group of French security walked in. Marcel walked in and casually leant his slender form against a window sill and started to puff away on his vape as he watched proceedings.

Dolores smiled at Lennon, "You darling have the hardest job here. Keeping my Chéri happy."

"Which I do!" Lennon replied while smiling.

"Yeah!" Chéri started, "Several times a night." Chéri added.

"How do you intend to support my son?" Dolores asked.

Lennon swallowed hard trying to think of a good answer. "Well, anyway I can! I think he can attest to the fact that I am a good provider. I'm willing to try my hand at anything, and I'm really willing to work hard."

Dolores looked at the tattooed tops of Lennon's hands and pulled his sleeves up to look at more tattoos running up his arms, "You let people draw all over you, just like my son."

"It's an expressive art, mom!" Chéri said as he facepalmed.

Dolores smiled and pulled Lennon's hair behind his ears, noticing several small piercings running up his ear with tiny hoops in them, "At least you don't do like my son and have a big hole In your ears, that I can look through! He even has a bolt, through his tongue, silly boy."

"Mom! My flesh holes are not even that big!"

Lennon looked a little guilty, "Hmm, I got that too." Lennon said before he opened his mouth to show her his tongue piercing.

Dolores just rolled her eyes, "Lennon, you silly boy! Anyway! Please join us all for dinner after you have freshened up in your room. The room on the best wing in the family compound. It has been prepared for you both." she said.

"I can't think you enough for having me here Mrs Lafont... Dolores." Lennon said.

"Honestly, make yourself at home, Lennon. Anyway, perhaps it is possible we can speak tomorrow?" Dolores asked as she sat down with her friends.

"Yes! of course. I would very much like to speak with you regarding a few things." Lennon said.

Ignacio took a step forward, and tapped Lennon, "I'll show you to your room."

"Yeah, okay." Lennon said, before offering his hand out to Chéri who jumped off the armrest and beamed at Lennon as he followed him.

They were shown to have a massive en suite bedroom that was more like a mini apartment. It had its own lounge area and kitchen, as well as a massive bedroom with a balcony that looked over the beautiful gardens, and the two-car private parking lots.

The bed was massive, with a shiny black PVC top cover. On the bed table, there was a large fruit bowl filled with condoms next to a two-litre pump-top silicone lubricant dispenser. On the floor, there was a box with all manner of adult items.

Chéri threw himself on the bed, "I love my mom, she thinks of everything!"

Lennon looked at the bed table, "Hmm, not so subtle hints."

"She wants us to have fun, Lenny!"

Lennon shook his head in astonishment as he looked at the giant lubricant bottle, "Your momma is really something! This is a whole new level of acceptance. I've never seen anything like this in my life."

"She's amazing, Lenny!"

"I believe I've never felt so free and accepted. I don't ever want to leave this country." Lennon said as he placed his arms around Chéri's waist, "I love you Chéri. This doesn't feel like my life! It's like I'm living in a dream and I'm scared I'll wake up."
