French Holiday, part 8 I had slept well on the living room sofa after leaving Romain and Alain to do their own thing early this morning, only waking when I heard Xavier and Christophe talking loudly in the kitchen, which happened to be next to the room I had been sleeping in. They were having a row over who was going to make the coffee, and when two fifteen year old French boys squabble over something as important as that, they certainly know how to argue. Personally, at this time of day, I couldn't care less if Xavier or Christophe made the coffee, so long as one of them did. I looked at the clock, it was time to get up, but I lay in bed for a few minutes, thinking on my day's schedule. I was due to collect the four English boys from Limoges Aero port. Their plane landed just before one, so I had a couple of hours to sort the French boys out and get the house reasonably clean and tidy. Romain would need to get to work in Confolens, which left Christophe, Xavier and Alain at the house. Hmmm,,,,, I wonder how Alain and Romain got on last night. No doubt I would find out soon enough. Chris would not be a problem; there was plenty of work for him to do here on the barn renovation. If the other two had nothing planned they could help me with the house work. All the beds that had been slept in would need remaking with the used bed linen going into the washing machine, an easy job I hoped, even for those two. I got up, and had a quick rinse in the bathroom. It made more sense to have a shower just before I left for the aeroport. Walking into the kitchen, I noticed that the coffee making had been resolved; I had a choice, there was a cafetiere and a cup of expresso coffee waiting. Xavier greeted me as I walked into the kitchen. "Hi, Dave, would you like a decent cup of coffee, or one that Christophe made?" Christophe flipped his lover the finger. "How about half a cup of each, then I can decide which to have." "That's taking the easy way out, would you like any thing with your coffee?" "Not just yet, thanks, I'll find something in the fridge later. What are you two boys doing today? Chris, you must have plenty of work to do on the barn, Xavier, have you got any plans for today? "No, but if you don't mind I'd like to spend the day here with you lot, I can't wait to meet the English boys." "Good, so you can help me this morning getting the house cleaned up. With Romain working in the coffee bar today, that just leaves Alain to organise. By the way, whose coffee am I drinking? It's good." "I made that one, Xavier may be good sex, but he's useless at making coffee." "At least I won't get asked to make coffee again; I'll just stick to what I'm good at, sex, sex and more sex. Are the other two up yet, Dave? Romain hasn't got long before he should be at work." "I haven't heard them moving about; suppose I should go and make sure they're awake. Don't want Romain to be late again and have another panic." I went up to the bedroom that Romain and Alain were using and tapped on the door. Getting no reaction, I gently pushed the door open. Both boys were just getting out of bed. Romain spoke. "Hi, Dave, we heard you, but were too busy having our last snog before getting up. We've just got to shower; I don't want to be late for work today. Will you have time to run me into work?" he asked as he walked into the shower, his hard cock pointing the way as usual "Yeah, Dave, take him to work. I'll stay here today with you and the others, if that's ok. What time are the English boys arriving?" "Their plane lands at Limoges aeroport just before one, why, are you looking forward to a gang bang?" "By lunch time I may be just about ready for a wild sex session with the English boys. I took your advice and had a good night shagging Romain's sexy arse after he spent ages begging me to let him cum, but he eventually got the message and realised that the only way I would let him cum was if he begged me to shag that sweet sexy arse of his. That should keep me satisfied for a few hours and will certainly keep him on the straight and narrow until we do it all again tonight." "So making him beg you to fuck him worked?" "Yes, and he enjoyed it. But he knows that if he goes after a bit of stray cock again then I'll make sure that it gets all over town that he's my bitch and he won't want that to get around, spoiling his butch image." Romain came back from the shower with a towel loosely wrapped round his hips. He finished towelling himself off before finding his jeans and t shirt from yesterday. He quickly pulled them on. "Free balling as usual Romain, do you own any underwear? I can't ever remember you wearing anything under your jeans. Just make sure you keep your hands and your cock to yourself. No more bits of stray in the coffee bar toilet. Just remember, you're my personal bitch now." Romain gave his lover a sheepish look. "I know when I've met my match; I'm never going to have sex with anyone else, unless you say so." "And that won't be very often, slut boi. You're going to be faithful to me or you and I are history." Alain pulled his lover to him and gave a long lingering kiss before pushing him away. "Go on, you tart, Dave's waiting to drive you to work, and behave yourself, no dirties with Dave in the car on the way." Romain winked at me and grabbed my hand as we walked out to the car. God, he's insatiable, but I'm sure I could hold him off; no way did I want to come between him and Alain. During the short drive in to Confolens Romain sat very quietly until I asked him what was wrong and then he told me that he had been Alain's bitch last night and he had really enjoyed having his lovers cock inside his fanny. Apart from me, Alain was the only other person who had got his cock inside him. If it got out that he was Alain's bitch how could he face his mates? They all thought of him as a top who would shag anything that offered. That would be his reputation in tatters. I told him not to worry, if he enjoyed being the bottom and having a cock inside him go for it, and anyway, I was sure that eventually Alain would want his lover to shag him again. I stopped outside the coffee bar; Romain gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and rubbed his hand over my crutch as he got out of the car. He smiled across at me. "Thanks for driving me into work, Dave. See, I can behave myself, I would love to suck your cock, but if I did and Alain found out he would dump me and I'm too much in love with him for that to happen," he said as he closed the car door, "Will you be able to pick me up this afternoon at about 17.30?" "Of course I can, just promise me that you're going to behave. I should hate it if you and Alain did break up because you did something silly." "Okay, I'll be good. That's the least my Alain deserves." As I drove off Romain waved and blew a kiss towards me. When I arrived back at the house Xavier and Alain had already started to get the house cleaned up and were sitting by the pool with Chris as they drunk coffee. Alain had his boxers on, but the other two were naked. "We've sorted the beds out and put the dirty bed linen in the washing machine and got the rest of the house clean and tidy, so we haven't much to do now. What time does the English boy's plane arrive?" "Just before one, so I've got plenty of time to get to Limoges Aeroport. Why?" "Well, that means you've got time to join us for a coffee and a splash about in the pool." "Sounds fine by me, who made the coffee?" "I did," Alain said with a grin. "My coffee's always better than the stuff that these two make. I'll pour you a cup." Alain just had time to hand me the cup of coffee before Xavier and Christophe grabbed him and with arms and legs entwined all three boys jumped into the pool. Alain was spluttering and gasping for air as he surfaced after the other two released him. He swam to the pool edge and scrambled out with the others chasing him; his wet boxers were clinging to him as he ran across to me. "Save me, Dave, save me from those two before they rape me." He was grinning ear to ear. When he reached me he wrapped his arms around my neck. "Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you, you make too good a cup of coffee." Xavier and Chris were smirking and their stiff cocks bouncing as they walked up to us. Water was dripping off both boys. Chris quickly kissed the back of Alain's neck and whispered in his ear, "It's impossible to rape anyone who keeps saying please shag me." Alain smiled as he turned his head to wards Chris. "Yep, that's me, bebe; I'm always first in the queue for a bit of hot cock. But remember, no sex today until the English boys arrive, and most certainly none with Romain until I say so." "Yes that reminds me; I'd better shower, get dressed and get to the aeroport. I'll have to stop one of the hyper marches on the way there; I need to top up on shopping for food to last eight teenage boys for the next few days and fill up with diesel. Are you three okay for two or three hours?" "We'll survive, Dave. I've still got some work to do on the barn, and Xavier and Alain can finish cleaning up in the house, there's not much more to do. Have you thought about which bedrooms the English boys will be using?" "I've been thinking about that. Knowing them, they'll be doing mix and match most nights, but I thought to start off with they could use those two big rooms on the second floor that don't get used very often. Having two large beds in each room and with both rooms sharing that large en suite bathroom and toilet will be a bonus. If Pat and Peter turn up I'm sure they'll find a bed with some one in it to share with. That should just about give us a full house, although I'm sure if a sexy boy knocked at the door we'd find somewhere for him to sleep." "Fine, Dave, we haven't done anything to those two rooms because they haven't been used. We'll air and clean the rooms then make the beds up. I can't wait." Alain said with a smirk. "Hot cock for the taking, and don't forget you lot, Romain's still banned from having sex with any one except me." "So you've weakened, you're letting him have sex with you?" "No,,,,, well,,,,, maybe, oh, don't ask. If he really does behave, then I may let him have a wank. If he doesn't, then I've got a surprise for him. Even if he does behave, he may still end up getting the surprise." "What about lunch? Will you and the English boys want to eat when you get back?" "Don't wait for us, Chris, do something for the three of you, there're lots of steaks and stuff in the freezer and I'll sort something out for us when we get back, which will probably be about two." "Phone as you leave the aeroport, it's only about forty minutes drive, and we'll have some steaks and salad ready for when you get here." "Sounds good, I'll do that, I would think the boys will be hungry by the time we get back here. It's time I left for the aeroport, see you later." "See you later," the three boys said together. Xavier walked across to Chris, smiled and licked his lips as he put his arms around him. He whispered "J'ai faim." "It's too early for lunch, but if you're hungry, my cock's always available. You can eat as much of that as you like and if you want seconds perhaps Alain may want to help feed you." "Mmmnn,,,,, yes that's good, two sexy boy cocks to gobble on, I can cope with that, but I want to suck yours, and maybe Alain can suck my cock while you're deep down my throat. That should satisfy me and it will stop you being too horny when the English boys get here." When they arrive I'm going to play hard to get, I don't want them to the wrong idea about me and think I'm a slut." "Why ever should they think that about you? You're sweet and innocent Xavier. That is until you see a hot, sexy boy, and then you're a hyperslut." "Come on then, looking at your sexy cock has put me in hyperslut mode, lets get on with it, get it down my throat." "On your knees," Christophe ordered, and then slowly slid his cock into his lover's mouth. "Suck hard, bitch, make me cum." Xavier closed his eyes and sucked hard on the cock between his lips, the only way he knew. He could taste the precum on Chris's cock and knew he would soon be swallowing hot boi cum. His own cock was dribbling long thin strings of clear precum. Suddenly he felt Alain slide underneath him and a tongue began lapping at his glans, within seconds his cock was sheathed in Alain's mouth. Xavier knew that Chris was ready to cum; he could feel his lovers cock was throbbing and it had got even harder as he began to taste the first traces of spunk on his tongue. It was too much for him. As Chris's cock shot long hot ropes of spunk down his throat, he couldn't hold back, he felt his own cock erupt, and it was Alain's turn to taste spunk. All three boys were breathless as they sat on the sofa. After a few minutes Chris stood and smiled at his two friends. "Come on, it's time to start work, we really ought to get on. Are you two okay sorting out those two large rooms and the bathroom on the second floor?" "It'll be a doddle. We'll give the rooms a good clean and make the beds up. We'll even put some tubes of lube in the bedside cabinets." "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. From what Dave's said about them, they'll use it. I'll leave you to it; I've got some work to do on the barn conversion before my uncle gets here. Don't want him to think I stand around all day doing nothing." "Okay, Chris, we'll get on with the bedrooms. I'll make some coffee when we've finished getting the rooms ready." "That'll be good." Alain and Xavier worked quickly; they soon had the first bedroom done, with the bed made up and the room clean and dusted. "Leave the windows open, Xavier, it'll help get rid of the smell of sex in here." "But it doesn't smell of sex in here." Alain giggled as he pulled Xavier towards him and they fell back onto the bed. "No, not yet it doesn't, but it soon will. We're not gonna wait for the English boys, you're gonna give me just what I want, that big fat cock if yours is gonna shag my arse. If you make me cum hands free while you're doing it, I may even give you a blowjob afterwards. " "Sounds good to me, I often fantasised about shagging your sexy tight arse, and now I'm gonna do it for real. I can manage you and the English boys, get on your hands and knees little bitch boy, I'm gonna give you a superb doggy fuck." "Mmmmmn, nice, Xavier, I always knew there was a butch side to you, now prove it, fuck me good and hard, like there's no tomorrow. I want the sort of fucking that my dreams are made of. Make me realise when you cum inside me that at last I've had a real hard butch boy fucking me and giving me his babies." "Do you want me to use some KY?" "No, I can manage your cock, just a bit of spit will do. Anyone would think I was a virgin." Xavier pulled his foreskin back and dribbled some spit onto his cock and pushed slowly into his friend's hairless hole. Alain muttered to himself. "Aaarrrrr... That feels so good. At last I've got you to fuck me; it's been worth waiting for." Xavier started to pump hard and fast into Alain's willing and hungry hole. This was going to be a good one, he had often fantasized over Alain whist he was having a wank, and now he was fucking him for real. A dream had come true for both of the boys, and in real life it was better than any fantasy. It was not going to take him long to cum, already he could feel the familiar tingling in his groin as his balls began to tighten and his cock hardened even more as his hot boi spunk started to flow. He felt his cock throbbing and began to thrust harder into Alain's hot moist hole. He began to shoot string after string of cum deep inside Alain's gut. It was more than enough to start Alain off, boi spunk leapt from his cock, making large damp patches on the clean quilt cover they had only just spread over the bed. Xavier's hard cock was still inside Alain as they collapsed onto the bed. "Yessss...leave it in me please, Xavier, I can feel it throbbing, and it feels so good. I've wanted your cock inside me for so long now; I don't want to let it go now I've got it inside me. God, that shag was so good. Now I owe you a blow job, seeing that you made me cum all over the bed." Alain got his lips around Xavier's still hard cock and sucked like he had never done before. As he sucked he also swirled his tongue around Xavier's glans pushing his friend to new heights of pleasure. "Fuck, I'm cumming again." Xavier screamed as his cock throbbed and his balls felt like they were going to burst as just a few watery drops of cum dribbled from his cock and trickled down Alaine's throat. "I've wanted to shag your sweet hole for ages now. I can't believe I've done it at last, and then had a really horny blowjob from you on the same hard." "Don't worry; it won't be the last time we do things like that, you can fuck me any time you want to. Shame we've both got lovers, but I'm sure that won't stop us having sex again." "No it won't, we're going to do it whenever we get a chance. I'm not going to tell Christophe, I'm keeping you to myself. You're going to be my secret, my personal little shag boy." "Sounds like a good idea. As you say, it's our secret I won't tell Romain; he'd only want to have a threesome. And don't you forget he's still banned from having sex unless I let him. " "So you're still being a little hard bitch boy?" Yep! But I did weaken last night; I gave his arse a good hard shagging, just to let him know who the boss is. Trouble is I'm not sure which of us enjoyed it more, me or him. It was the first time I've ever shagged anyone, I wasn't certain that I'd like being the top, but it was so good, I'm gonna do him again." "I think we should get on and change this duvet cover that you've just covered with spunk, then finish sorting the other bedroom, before we have a shower. Christophe will be stopping for a coffee soon, and we don't wanner be smelling of sex when he walks in." "Mmmmmnnnn, don't know, it may give him ideas. I'd love to be your boyfriends bitch, he could shag me any time he wanted to, but then I've been a life long slapper, if it's got a cock then I'm interested." "Keep your hands off my Christophe, you whore, he's all mine. But I suppose we could share him sometime, I do like threesomes." "And you call me a whore? A threesome,,,,,, let me guess, ,,,,, you, Christophe and yes ,,,,, it had to be Dave." "Yeah, you're right, of course it was, but it didn't take much working out, considering you knew the three of us have done things together over the last couple of days and slept together the other night." "I'm so jealous of you, I fancy Dave. He and I dabbled last night, it was good sex, and I made Romain watch us. It got him so turned on, but I wouldn't let him do anything for a while. Then Dave said he would leave us to sort our selves out and sleep by himself. After Dave left us I made Romain beg me for sex, but I still said no, until he begged me to make him my bitch boy and shag his sexy bum, which was what Dave said I should do. So for the next few days he's going to be my bitch and that's the only sex he's going to get until I decide he's learnt to keep his cock to himself. "So, Alain got all butch with his boyfriend. Good I like it, it's about time you sorted the slag out and let him know who the boss is." "Oh, he knows who the boss is, it's me, sweet little Alain. I'm his butch lover now, for a few days, at least, until I want a cock inside me again. But then there's gonna be so much cock around when the English boys arrive that I don't think I'll be going short of a good shagging, so he may have to wait awhile yet before he gets to fuck me." "Come on, butch boy, we've got work to do, the other bedroom won't take very long to sort out." "Okay, let's get it done, followed with a shower and then a coffee break. Perhaps we could seduce Christophe while we're having coffee." "You really are a slut, I've already told you, hands off Christophe he's mine. But it could be fun, a threesome before lunch." It only took a short while for Alain and Xavier to sort out the second bedroom. "That's the bedrooms done, Alain, now about that shower. Is it just the two of us or do we invite Christophe in with us?" "Just the two of us, this time, I'd like to fantasize about having sex with your lover for just a bit longer. Perhaps we'll have time to have sex with him after coffee. I really get horny just thinking about having sex with someone for the first time. Come on lets use the shower that we've just cleaned; we can christen it for the English boys." Going into the large bathroom Xavier turned all four showerheads on and adjusted the temperature. "While you're getting the water temperature right, I'm just going to get some towels. We forgot to put towels out in here and the bedrooms." Xavier was smiling to himself when Alain returned after a few minutes clutching four large towels and a tube of KY. "No, you're not using that stuff it's too cold, if you're gonna fuck me use the shower gel." "Who said I wanted to fuck you?" Alain asked as he got into the shower. "This is for when you and Christophe shag me later. There's only ever gonna be one person that gets the pleasure of my cock shagging his arse and that's my slut of a boyfriend, Romain. I loved shagging Romain's tight hole last night, but if anyone else has sex with me then I'm the bottom. Come on get in the shower." Xavier got into the shower behind Alain and reached round to feel Alain's stiff cock. Alain brushed Xavier's hand away. "No that's not what I want, leave my cock alone. Oh, go on then, put some shower gel on your sexy dick and shag my sweet little hole. You may not get another chance for a couple of days once the English boys arrive; because I'm gonna have each one of them shag me whilst Romain watches. It could be interesting, I've got some ideas which may stop Romain trying to having sex with anyone until I let him, but that's my little secret. You'll all find out about that when the time comes. Now about that shag, just do it, my hole's hungry for cock." Alain bent forward with his hands against the shower wall as Xavier smoothed some shower gel onto his cock as he worked a finger deep into Alain's hole. "Mmmmmnnnn, Alain, you're a slut. I reckon you're loose enough for me to get three or four fingers inside you, but I'd sooner have my cock up there letting you know what good sex I am." "If you think I'm loose now, you tart, wait till I've had all the English boys up there. I'll be like the channel tunnel. Anyway my hole's not that loose, I'm just relaxing it so that your cock will go in without too much discomfort for me. It's a bigger cock than I'm used to; it's almost as large as Dave's. Come on stop fannying about and shag me. Show me once more that you know what your beautiful big cock's meant for." Xavier gently pushed his cock against Alain's inviting hole and it slid inside. "That feels good, now you're in me, shag me, and stop wasting time, make it a quick one. Then we'll have coffee, start lunch and perhaps we'll have time to seduce Christopher." "I don't think my boyfriend will need much seducing, just smile at him and he'll think you're after a bit of sex." As Xavier gently pumped his cock in Alain's hole he felt Alain arse muscles tense up. "Mmmmmnnnn,,,,, nice one Alain, you really know how to take cock. If you keep squeezing my cock like that I'll soon be giving you my babies." "Stop talking about it and just get on with it. I want another load of boi spunk spurting inside me. It must nearly be time for coffee; I'm getting a bit dry." "Well, you'd better suck on this, there's plenty of boi juice in it to moisten your dry mouth." Both boys looked round. "Christophe!" A surprised Alain said out loud. Christophe was slowly stroking his rampant cock. "I had a feeling I might catch you two at it. I finished my work in the barn and came up to find if you two were ready for coffee, and find you I did. That little show you two where putting on was very sexy and it's made me really horny. It made me forget all about coffee, and now it's my turn to have a bit of the action. Come on Alain, open wide, my cock's going deep down your throat." "Mmmnn, the pleasure will be all mine, especially if Xavier carries on shagging my bum. Spit roast will be a first for me." "I think I could manage to finish what I started Alain, me and my Christophe spit roasting Alain, sounds good to me." "Sounds good to me as well, what could be nicer than looking into Xavier's sexy eyes while little Alain sucks my dick." Xavier put his hands on Alain's hips pulling him back on to his still rampant cock. "There's a good boy, now it's time to suck cock as well, and we all know that's some thing you love to do" Alain leant forward till he could get Christophe's cock into his mouth. Xavier was right, sucking cock was his favourite way to have sex, and no way was he going to miss out having Christophe's sexy cock down his throat. Alain took Christophe's cock all the way down his throat; he felt Christophe's hands grip behind his ears, as Xavier and Christophe began moving rhythmically at both ends. Alain was in deep ecstasy, he already knew that with the almost electric sensations surging through his body that being fucked by these two were giving him meant he would have no choice in the matter, he would soon be cumming hands free whether he wanted to or not. "Aaaaahh, yes, I'm Cumming," Alain screamed as several strings of boi spunk flew from his cock. Xavier and Christophe exchanged high fives and grinned at each other as they both pulled out of Alain. "That'll teach you to seduce Xavier, you little tart. We're gonna save ourselves for the English boys; we'll be able to have a good sex session when they get here, but poor little Alain will be too knackered to do any thing." "You're a pair of tossers," Alain pouted. "The two of you set me up for that, and I thought you were my best mates." "Yeah, but it's only payback for trying to seduce me, and I know you've already had sex with Xavier this morning when you should have been tidying the house. I came up earlier to see how you were getting on with the house work, Xavier was getting the shower ready and you were looking for the towels, and he told me you'd already shagged on one of the beds and you were after having sex with me. We worked this one out then. Come on Alain, we're still good mates. Why don't you make some coffee while I fire up the barbeque ready for lunch?" "Ok, but I wanna big kiss from each of you first, I love both of you too much to be upset with you for very long." The boys kissed, Xavier kissed Alain first on the lips and soon they were tongue wrestling. "Ugh, I can taste Christophe's cock on your tongue; he tastes as good as ever. He must have been pouring out precum when his cock was in your mouth." Christophe smiled at his lover. "I always do make lots of precum, but you know that, especially when there's a sexy boy on the end of my cock. Coffee time, come on. We'll drink it by the pool then we can chat whilst I'm lighting the barbeque." "While Alain's brewing the coffee I'll get the steaks. What are we going to have with them? There's all sorts of salad in the fridge and frozen low fat oven frits in the freezer, trust Dave to get low fat oven ones, but then he is English, and what food sense do they have? Have you got any preferences, Alain?" "No, I'll have whatever's served up to me." Alain answered from the kitchen. "Does that include hot cock, Alain?" "Need you ask? Of course it does." "Well, you're gonna be disappointed. Hot cocks off the menu this lunch time, but the English version will be available later this afternoon." Christophe said, smiling at Xavier. Alain walked out onto the patio with three grand cups of expresso coffee. "I managed to get the expresso machine to work, but it's a rubbish machine. If you don't like this stuff, I'll brew a cafetiere of decent coffee." Christophe and Xavier each drank a mouthful of coffee; it was the very most they could do not to spit it out. "From the looks on your faces, I guess you'd like me to brew a cafetiere of coffee." "Yes please, Alain, that expresso machine really needs scrapping, it makes foul coffee. It probably got brought across from England with the rest of the furniture." "While you make the coffee, I'm gonna put the steaks on the barbecue. They're large ones so would just some salad and bread be okay to go with them? Cooked medium rear okay for you Xavier?" "Fine, however you want to do them, I'll get the plates and make up the salad while you cook the meat." A few minutes later Alain appeared from the kitchen with a large cafetiere of coffee just as the steaks were being put onto large oval plates. "That smells good, Christophe, I do love steak. I hope you've done one medium rear for me." "Take your pick Alain; they're all cooked medium rear. They're so thick it would take a while to do them any other way." The three boys chatted as they took their time eating the meal, the steaks really were large and Xavier had put out large amounts of tomatoes, cucumber and salade to go with their meat. "This steak's excellent; you've cooked it until it's just right. It's almost melting in my mouth as I'm eating it. Usually when I get meat in my mouth it stays hard until it starts to throb and leak." "Alain!!!, that's just too much information, at least while we're eating. The steaks should make good eating; Dave may shop for low fat frits, but he knows which meat to buy. The steaks were the best; the labels on the wrapping said they were from local Limousin red cattle. When we've finished eating shall we open a bottle of wine?" "Not for me. Wine will make me want to go to sleep for the afternoon. When I was getting the salad out of the fridge I noticed a couple of bottles of 2% Normandy brut cidre in there. I'll have some of that; I wanna be at my best when the English boys get here. But if you want wine, then there're a couple of bottles of white sauvignon in the fridge as well." "If you put it like that Xavier, then the Cidre does seem like a good idea. What about you Alain, wine or cidre?" "On a hot day like this, cold cidre will be yummy. Did you say it's only 2% alcohol?" "Yeah, I wonder if Dave checked the label when he brought it. The 2% and the 5% bottles are usually next to each other on the hypermarche shelves." "2% will do me, for now, I'm sure there'll be wine, cidre or beer later this evening when we've eaten, but we should check to make sure we're not going to drink all the cidre." "We won't, I saw more in the cave earlier. There are several bottles of Bretagne doux and Normandy brut, but I didn't notice how strong it was. Do you want to open a bottle, Xavier, I hate opening those bottles with the champagne type pop out corks." "Okay, then I'm gonna sit in the pool and drink mine." "Sounds like a good idea, are you joining us in the pool, Alain?" "Yeah, okay. We shan't have too long in there, when do you expect Dave to ring you from the aeroport, it's nearly one now?" "That could be him ringing now. Whose gonna answer it?" "You can, Christophe, it may even be your uncle checking up on you." "Right, Xavier, I will, but don't you two drink all the cidre whilst I'm doing it, and behave yourselves, no sex unless I'm here." Christophe climbed out of the pool and trotted into the house and picked up the phone. "Hello?" "Hi, Christophe, the boy's plane has just landed, so by the time they clear customs and the luggage carousel, I reckon we should be with you in about fifty minutes." "Right, I'll have the steaks ready for about an hour's time. Just a thought, are any of the boys vegetarian?" "No, they all enjoy a bit of meat." "Don't we all. But I'm glad you said no, France is not a great country for veggies. Most French chefs think that veggies live on a diet of mushroom omelettes." "Yeah, I know what you mean, but the boys are now just coming through customs, so I'll see you in about forty-five minutes or so. Bye" "Bye, Dave. Tell the boys we've got plenty of hot meat here waiting them."
