Caramel X Applejack Novels & Stories

Forty eight hours earlier, if he'd brushed against me naked, I probably would have bolted; but now it was natural, and right. Jill called out to me, "What have you got on tap for us tonight, Alex?" I went to the cabinet shelf I'd commandeered, and brought down three bottles. "I've got an excellent sipping rum, Cruzan Single Barrel, for those who would like to try that, and if you'll give me a minute," I displayed the bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, and the 1/2 bottle of Tequila left from the previous night. I poured half the Bailey's slowly into the Tequila bottle. "We've got a concoction that goes by a few different names, including the 'Naked Orgasm'."

Although, if those were her terms of reference, probably she didn’t have much of a future as a food critic. By the time they got to dessert, they were basically dead of indulgence. The caramelized apple tart turned out to be literally a caramelized apple on a pastry base, with ice cream on the side. So that was sort of hilarious. As was the fact that Harper cut into it super carefully, having obviously been scarred for life by the disguised orange experience.

Three benches that were dedicated to desserts had on them lemon tarts, crème brûlée, orange blossom cakes, minted strawberries fresh from the garden, meringues so beautifully shaped it was a pity to eat them and apple strudels served with ice-cream. There were decadent chocolate bonbons that oozed rum cream on the first bite. Drinks for the children ranged from orange juice to candy apple punch, whereas the grown-ups socialized around a waterfall wine chiller and champagne fountain that sparkled with flames. I looked around to find where Josie was so we could sit down at the table for Maya's announcement. She was there next to a friend of hers, looking beautiful as always. My heart ricochets

Albot and Blake bring the bags to my hummer while Alice, Marcie and I head inside, the smell of the wood fire over hitting us the moment we step inside. “Hey Crys, did you get some apples?” Cara calls out from the cash as soon as she sees us, a smile on my friend’s face. “Yeah, Albot is bringing them to the car now with Blake. What’s the feature pizza today?” I smile as the blonde comes to join us, an order form and a pen in hand as Marcie and Alice takes a cart, ready to fill it with goodies and cider. “ABC Pizza. It has Apples, Bacon and Cheddar on it.” She answer. I smile, the feature sounding like a great idea.

Josefina laughed and said in a fruity voice, “Eppie–– Mack–– there are other fruit-flavored jams at the table beside Celeste and Adrian's five-foot-tall cake–– I could bring you which one you like?” “The jack fruit flavor is fine, dear.” “Yes, I believe you're right–– the other ones are too sweet–– and jack fruit jam is better than tomato jam!” Josefina exclaimed to her close friend Epifania Balat. “Is there?” asked Epifania in amazement. “Tomato jam? Yes–– you want to have it?” “I don't want a whole jar–– I can't have Mack's belly–– do you mind?” a full-figured lovely Epifania asked her friend.

"Careful, dragon's brew is quite a potent drink.'' The female whose name she forgot told her. Jessie sniffed at the drink before giving it a tentative taste. "Oh, it's cherry coke.'' She quickly down the first glass, then reached for the other, but Christian pulled it away. ''Danielle is right, I think one would be enough for you.'' He down the other drink and made a face, "Caramel.'' “Christian, I always thought you liked caramel? It was kind of our thing, remember?’’ Keera said with a smile. Jessie ignored Keera's remark because she was confused at hers being a different flavour from Christian's. ''Those were two different flavours?''

she spluttered, her eyes tearing up and I couldn’t suppress my laughter. “Too strong?” She wasn’t used to drinking. I took one and sipped. “Hmm, this is good.” It was a Rainbow Paradise cocktail with a double shot of coconut rum with the pineapple juice and blue curacao it complimented each other perfectly. “Take it slow. Unless you want to get hammered, Sugar.” I said, chuckling softly. I would have liked to see that happen. “I could ask for a virgin cocktail…”

He filled it three-quarters of the way with orange juice and gave it a good stir, just like you taught me. Franco reached out, tracing a finger lightly against the condensation on the glass. ‘Then the float – a slow pour of fifteen mil cherry brandy over the top, and finished with a splash of that apple, strawberry, and raspberry drink for the topper.’ I took a long sip. The flavour exploded across my palate – sharp and sweet all at once, the deep red of the cherry bleeding beautifully into the bright citrus, with the extra layer of berry flavour tying it all together. It was utterly perfect.

Jennifer said as she looks around for a available bartender. "Yup! That's why out friendship is hella strong" "I know,right!" Jennifer bangs on the bar counter. "Hello?! Can we get a bartender over here,please?" A male bartender walks to Jennifer. "How may I help you?" "We would like to have a drink" "Okay,what would the two of you would like to have?" "I would like a Chocolate Martini" "And I would like to have an Apple Martini" Sophia said as she licked her lips already tasting the amazing flavor of the Apple Martini.

He let the ladies get comfortable in their seats before he spoke again. “What would you ladies like a drink? We have two specials tonight. The first is our Epic Jungle Juice which is fresh apples, oranges, mangos, pineapples marinated in coconut rum, vodka, Everclear, strawberry liquor for at least eight to twelve hours for ten dollars. “Whew,” the red-head expressed. “I’m sorry for the outburst. It’s just . . . sounds a little on the pricey side - for a special.”
