“Okay ma,” then Phillip had to catch himself and then continued “I mean Stella.”
Phillip opened the envelope an inside was a brand new checkbook style wallet dark brown in color with his initials on the bottom right corner and was handcrafted from the finest soft leather.
“Wow this is nice, thanks,” Phillip said giving Stella a hug.
Open it and see what’s inside, hon,” Stella smiled to which Phillip did.
The first thing he saw was some money and he pulled it out. There were 18 newly crisp 100 dollar bills folded and clipped together in a golden money clip.
“Dang, this looks like a ton of money,” Phillip said surprised.
“There are 18 brand new crisp 100 dollar bills, one for each year of your life.”
“This is a lot of money I can’t take this,” Phillip said touched but felt like the gift was too much.
“Nonsense sweetie” Stella replied poo-pooing his remark. “I want you to have it, after all a young adult needs some spending money. Look what else is in there. Look at the pull out part near where the ID holder is”
Surely as Stella said, there was pull out part where the ID went and Phillip opened it up and saw what looked like a state issued driver’s license
“I already got a license, so what do I need this one for,” Phillip said kind of confused.
“Look at it again more closely and you will see why hon,” Stella just said with a smile.
Phillip inspected it closer and saw the license although appeared similar it was different. The main thing that was different was the age it had him being Instead of saying he was 18 it said he was 21.
“How,” was all Phillip could say.
“I have a client who works at the DMV. Stella said smiling. “He got it done for me as a favor,” then added with a chuckle “and no I didn’t sleep with him if that’s’ what you’re thinking.”
“That never entered my mind,” Phillip replied “I do like it though and I expect you got this for me so I could come see you at the club and you be covering your ass if the cops showed up. Right?
“As rain and as usual,” Stella replied. “You never cease to amaze me.”
By that time, their pizza had arrived, a whopping 18 inch pie which they ate well over half of. They got a box for the rest and left the restaurant.
Stella took Phillip to the Apple® store where she let him pick out a new phone, tablet as well as both a laptop and Desktop computer with all the accessories. Each was the top of the line and state of the art with all the bells and whistles that any young person who loved gadgets could want.
Stella got her a new phone and tablet and laptop as well along with a new digital video camera and video recording and editing accessories. When Phillip inquired about the camera and video recording items Stella just playfully replied “You’ll see.”
They placed their items in the trunk and left the store and headed somewhere Phillip hadn’t been to before and he was at a loss as far as where he was. She finally pulled into an area which had a place called “Naughty and Spice Emporium.” It was a sex shop that catered to discriminating consenting adults It didn’t look like much but, Phillip figured it was a sight to see.
