The ball was rolling already.  I would never have guessed it would go that
fast.  It was only three days after we first mentioned that we liked it
there and Alex had already sent a resume!  We had only a week left in Costa
Rica and Alex thought it would be surprising if the company he had sent his
resume to, would answer that quickly.  There was probably a selection
procedure that would take more time than a week to have a definite answer.
I decided to call tiffany with the excuse to keep her updated and to know
how she was.  My purpose was of course to see if she had had any vision or
intuition.

The call went through very easily, which proved that the technology in
Costa Rica was modern and efficient.  After some small talk she asked quite
directly why she had the impression that my house was for sale.  I didn't
need more.


******


Alex was surprised when his cell phone rang.  I wasn't!  The number on the
caller's ID was a local number.  He picked up.

- Hello, Alex Buster speaking.

- Hello Mr. Buster.  My name in Angela Rodriguez and I am Mr. Mackenzie's
personal assistant.  Mr.  Mackenzie is the CEO of our company and he has
read your resume very carefully.  He wanted to know if you were available
to have a meeting with you today or tomorrow.

- I guess it wouldn't be a problem Miss Rodriguez.  It all depends where
you are located as I am in Samara in the province of Guanacaste.  I could
easily hire a car and come and see Mr. Mackenzie, but I don't know of
course how long I would be on my way.  I guess it is about three and a half
hours to four hours drive.

- Indeed it would Mr. Buster.  So what would you say tonight around five or
tomorrow around noon?

Alex looked at his watch.

- Tonight around five will be ok I guess, as it is only eleven o'clock.
Can you please send me a message with the exact address?

- I'll do that immediately and we will see you at five.

- That's a deal.  Thanks for calling and see you later Miss Rodriguez.

- See you later Mr. Buster.

Suddenly there was no time to lose.  We went to the reception desk and
asked to hire a car, if possible with a GPS.  About fifteen minutes later
we had a brand new car in front of the door and the reception had arranged
for an overnight stay in San Jose at the same hotel we had been before
arriving here.  Alex asked the receptionist what were the habits in this
country for a job interview: did he have to wear suit and tie or was it
more casual.  The receptionist confirmed that a suit was in order, but not
the tie.  If Alex wore a tie, it wouldn't be seen as something bad, but it
was not expected.

At twelve thirty we were on our way.  Thanks to the GPS we had not to
search for the correct road.  We had almost a spare hour for in case there
was a traffic problem.  At four o'clock we entered San Jose and had an hour
to kill before Alex's appointment so we checked into our hotel first.  That
allowed Alex to refresh a little and to put on his suit.  At five sharp he
presented himself to Miss Rodriguez.

I waited for Alex at the hotel.  I went down and sat on the terrace of the
bar, ordering a drink and opening my laptop.  I didn't know how long he
would be away and decided to work a little.  The words and the ideas came
easily.  I typed furiously on my keyboard and before I even realized how
long I had been going at it, Alex was sitting in front of me.  He had a
huge grin on his face.  I knew that the interview had gone well and as I
looked at my watch I saw that he had been gone for almost two hours.  The
sun was already setting down.  Alex didn't say anything but shove a piece
of paper towards me.  I took it and read it.  First was a nice figure on
top of it.  It was in Costa Rican Colons, but between brackets the
equivalent in our currency.  It was slightly higher than what the ad said.
Just below that figure were other conditions of the possible contract,
including company car, health insurance (for him AND partner) and moving
costs.  Last but not least there was a mention that the company would go
through the complete procedure of having it all legal, from the visa to
Costa Rica to the working permit and inscription to the social security.
All in all it was a very attractive package.

I asked Alex about the job description and he handed me a second paper with
a very extended list of duties.  It seemed the company had problems with
security issues and industrial spies.  It was Alex's task to find out who
was the mole and once he found him, be sure no other people were giving out
industrial information to the competition.  The company had three distinct
divisions: a high-tech software development, hardware components for
completely innovative computer system and a luxury jewelry department.
That last department needed a very high security system.  I asked Alex how
he felt about it.

- It seems really interesting.  I like what's written in the job
description.  John, Mr. Mackenzie, is a very nice person and is the only
person I have to report to.  He knows exactly what he wants and offered me
the job.  I have to give an answer by... TOMORROW!  If I accept he gives me
three months to give my notice at my actual job and move over here.  I have
the feeling I have to accept because if I don't, I won't get another chance
like this.  It is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  The salary is good
and will be revised after one-year work.  Miss Rodriguez is appointed to
help me in everything I need.  What do YOU think?

- Alex, as long as I am with you, I don't care where we live.  We discussed
this earlier and you know I could really get used to this country and
weather.  I can do my job wherever we are.  It would be just a smaller
inconvenience when I have the presentation tour of a new book, but then
again it is not really a problem.  The most important part in this decision
is whether you want to give up your current job and start a whole new one.
It is a big step for both of us.  We both have to learn the language if we
want to live here.  We both have to leave our lives we know behind us.
What about your parents?

- I don't see my parents that much, he said, and I guess we will have to
find a place big enough so they can stay with us when they come to visit.
What about your house?

- A house is just a pile of bricks Alex.  I can sell mine and buy another
one here.  The important thing is a home, and my home is wherever you are.
Have you mentioned the fact you are living with a man to Mr.  Mackenzie?

- As a matter of fact, I did.  He said he had absolutely no problem with
that.  He said that what was important to him was that the job was done
properly and answering his expectations.  Who I am living with is nothing
that concerns him.  I wanted to be open about everything and that's why I
told him.  I don't want him to find surprises along the way.

- So, I guess it is up to you know to say what you want.  You know you have
my complete support in whatever decision you make.

- Does that mean we go house shopping tomorrow?

- If that means that you made up your mind, I guess we will!

We sealed the deal with a kiss and ordered a bottle of Champagne to
celebrate.  We went online to see what kind of price my house could be sold
for, looking at similar ones in my neighborhood.  My house was in a perfect
state and I opted for selling it completely furnished.  We would only take
personal items with us.  My car could be sold as well.  The costs of moving
would be reduced to a minimum, but as Mr.  Mackenzie had put a fixed amount
for the costs, we could probably use that money to buy new furniture and
other appliances we would need.

We went out for a celebration dinner and discovered some more unknown
places around the town that would become ours.  After our meal we wandered
through the city and were pleasantly surprised with the animated nightlife.
Costa Ricans are quite happy people, gentle and open-minded.  Even though
we were not installed there yet, we felt like this was home already.  We
went to have drink in one of the gay bars where Brian had taken us and the
bartender even recognized us.  He made us feel as if we were the most
special clients in the bar.  It felt good.  Once we had our drinks, we
observed the crowd of dancing young men.  Some were kissing and hugging and
I knew that the sight would make Alex horny.  It had the same effect on me.

Once we were back in our room, Alex took me in his arms and kissed me,
softly at first but as I was responding to his kiss, it quickly became
passionate.  It was undeniable that we were receiving a fantastic
opportunity from life, a new start that gave us a renewed energy.  That
energy was so noticeable in Alex's behavior.  His kissing and the roaming
of his hands over my body were frenetic.  He undressed me so quickly, with
a hungry look of lust in his eyes.  I guessed my look had to be very
similar and my hands were working feverishly.  I wanted my man naked and so
did he.  Clothes flew in all directions and the room looked suddenly so
untidy, but we didn't care.  We needed to feel each other in all possible
ways.  Our lips were sealed together and our tongues dancing in each
other's mouths.  Hands were roaming feverishly over the other's body as if
we were rediscovering the body we already knew so well.  Our hard shafts
were rubbing together causing a pleasant friction and building up the
excitement to a very high level.  We simultaneously grabbed the other's
buttocks, kneading them and feeling them as never before.  Alex pushed me
backwards towards the bed and we fell on it, Alex on top of me, taking
charge and control of our actions.  Although I wanted his manhood in my
mouth, it seemed we couldn't break the kiss.  I felt Alex's tongue deep in
my throat and I pushed mine evenly as deep.  Our arms were wrapped around
each other as if we feared the other one would go.

That furious making out lasted for quite some time and we got hungrier by
the minute.  I knew Alex was very agile and controlled his body completely,
but he still amazed me when he turned around so quickly, bringing us in a
sixty-nine position.  I didn't hesitate a moment to open my mouth wide and
let him enter me while he did the same: engulfing my manhood deep in his
throat with his nose buried in my trimmed pubic hair.  Pre-cum was oozing
by the faucet and I reveled in his sweet taste, sucking forcefully to get
every drop of it.  Alex squeezed my balls like he only knew how to do it,
giving me an extreme pleasure that was on the limit of pain, but so
enjoyable.  I pulled him deeper by his buttocks, letting my fingers enter
his crack and searching for his rosebud.  We were both sweating as the
air-conditioning was not on and the warm night air was coming through the
open window.  We had learned that sweat was a very good lubricant on our
skins and even more in our cracks.  All the while sucking on his rock-hard
shaft, I pushed my finger inside of Alex, finding his prostate and
massaging it so it would produce even more pre- cum.  I knew that if I went
on like that, Alex would spin around and sit on my rock-hard cock that was
coated by his spit.  I wasn't wrong!  He suddenly pulled his cock out of my
mouth, turned around and pointed my cock-head right on target.  My finger
work had opened him enough and relaxed his sphincter- muscle so that he
could sit down and let my cock invade his insides.  I entered a real
furnace, hot and moist, slippery with sweat and spit and hitting his
prostate.  Alex moaned and groaned out loud, not caring if the neighbors or
even the whole neighborhood would hear us.  I trusted my hips forward,
entering him even deeper than what he had allowed by sitting down on me.
His up and down movements were met with my pushing up and letting down and
we had a good rhythm going, thanks to years of experience in pleasing the
other.  I grabbed his cock and let our natural movements do the work.  I
didn't have to jerk him off as his motions were doing that for me.  Alex
threw his head back and his face was a pure expression of ecstasy.  I
wasn't going to last long.  My juice was already boiling in my balls, which
pulled up into my lower abdomen.  I felt that familiar tingling in my
nether regions that told me my orgasm was really close.  I climaxed hard
and powerfully, filling his bowels with my semen.  Alex felt the throbbing
of my cock in his ass and knew I was filling him, but he didn't want to
come yet.

When my thrusting came to an end, he jumped off of me, grabbed my ankles
and spread my legs wide.  His cock was covered with pre-cum and he smeared
it all over my hole before pushing in.  It was a powerful thrust that made
that his cock sunk deep into me till his pubes hit my ass-cheeks.  His
excitement was such that he didn't need a lot of time to reach his climax
and filled me as well.  When he was totally spent, he collapsed on top of
me and we kissed while our breaths came back to normal and our heartbeats
calmed down.  His cock deflated and left my hole, leaving me with that
well-known emptiness.  He let go of my ankles and lay down next to me with
his head on my chest.  It had been short but so intense.  I had just the
time to stretch out my arm and switch off the light.  We both fell asleep
satisfied and content.

In the morning we woke up to the sunlight coming through the window.  I
looked out and had a smile, as the sky was bright and blue.  This was
heaven!  My bladder screamed for attention and I slipped out of bed trying
not to wake Alex, but I knew that before I turned on the shower, he would
be with me.  I emptied my bladder and brushed my teeth while the water came
to the perfect temperature in the shower stall.  I was just under the
cascading water when I felt Alex joining me.  We kissed and that led to
some grabbing and caressing and before we knew it, the water of the shower
drained our juices.  We dressed and went down for breakfast before checking
out of the hotel.  We were about to hit the road when Alex took out his
phone and called Mr. Mackenzie, telling him he accepted the job.  John
asked him if he could go over and have the contract signed and if I was
coming with him.  John liked to know the partners of his employees.

We went over to the offices and I was introduced, first to Miss Rodriguez
and then to John Mackenzie.  He was indeed a pleasant man and I could
understand why Alex had taken such a quick decision.  The contract was
signed and Miss Rodriguez had a bunch of other papers ready for him to sign
as well: the opening of a bank account, the signature for the credit card,
the papers for the work permit and visa and for the pass to enter the
premises.  Then she handed him a list of cars that were available to him to
choose from.  Alex looked it over and went for a BMW 3 series with all the
options.  She said the car would be ready the first day he came in to work.
She was really prepared for Alex's new job and necessities.  She handed him
a list of real estate agents and a list of houses that were available, as
well for buying as for renting.  Alex handed me that list and said it was
probably my responsibility to make a choice.  All the properties were in an
up-scale neighborhood a little outside town.  Miss Rodriguez had even
marked a few that were really good value for money.  We promised to have a
look.  We left at about eleven o'clock and before hitting the road to
Samara, we checked the list of houses.  There was one in particular that
attracted our attention.  It was a kind of a villa on a nice plot, recently
built and that looked very nice.  The price was ok if I could sell mine
back home.  We called the real estate agent and introduced ourselves.  He
gave us precise directions, but with the GPS it was far easier to find his
office.  The man was really professional and his first question was to know
how we had contacted him directly on his mobile phone.  When Alex said he
had a contract with Mr. Mackenzie, the agent was all smiles and even
happier to help us.  We showed him the house we were interested in on the
list.

- Very good choice, he said, and I happen to have the keys to that house
here.  It is unfurnished tough.  If you want to see it, I have some free
time and we can go over to visit it.

- That would be great, Alex said.  Let's do that!

My God!  This was a whirlwind of events in such a sort time!  I couldn't
believe it.  We were supposed to be here for two weeks on holiday!  At four
days to our return flight, Alex had stranded a job and we were house
hunting!  He had just signed his contract a few hours ago and the legal
papers were already in the process and we were about to visit a house we
had found attractive on an extended list we had received.  The estate agent
told us to follow with our car as we had told him that after the visit we
were going to Samara.  We followed him and arrived in what was announced as
an upscale neighborhood.  Indeed, the streets were clean and well designed,
with a lot of trees.  All the properties were surrounded by a wall and most
of them had an iron gate.  The agent must have pushed a button on a remote
control and we entered a nice property.  It was obvious that the
landscaping of the garden was the work of professionals.  The house on
itself, from the outside, seemed huge.  We noticed immediately the solar
panels for warm water and also for electricity.  A parabolic antenna was
there and provided the necessary TV channels.

We stopped in front of the main entrance and the agent pointed out the
photovoltaic panels and solar panels for warm water as well as the
parabolic antenna for in case we wouldn't have seen it.  He opened the
front door and we were instantly in awe.  Finely polished wooden floors
spread out in front of us and seemed to cover the hall and the living room,
but once we entered further, we could see it covered everything except the
kitchen and the bathroom that were tiled with marble.  Floor to ceiling
French doors in the living room gave way to a terrace and a fantastic
swimming pool.  The kitchen was completely equipped with the latest
semi-professional appliances.  The three bedrooms had each their private
bathroom.  An office was also foreseen in the general construction as well
as a garage for three cars.  I didn't know, yet, what Alex thought, but I
was rapidly falling in love with that house.  I looked at the list for the
price and it was more than affordable.  Even if I lost money on the sale of
mine back home, we could still afford it!  We asked the real estate agent
to give us some time alone and walked to the garden.

- What do you think, I asked Alex.

- I think this place is wonderful, but it is only the first one we see!

- I know, but on the other hand, why see tens or even hundreds if we love
this one!  It has everything we need and want.  Look at this swimming pool!
Lots of space everywhere in the house is just what we are looking for.  The
kitchen is just a dream come true for anyone who loves to cook and... it is
not that far away from your work!  It's mainly motorway and I roughly guess
it is a maximum of fifteen minutes to get to the factory.

- Indeed, it is.  So...  You want this place?

- I think I do.  Everything has gone so quickly on this trip that I don't
see why we couldn't go for this house even though it is the first one we
see.  It is a nice neighborhood and I saw a commercial center about two
minutes away from here.

- It is not that I am uncomfortable with it, but I have never taken so many
important decisions in such a short time!  I will rely on your intuitions
and what you think about this house.  For my part, I love this house and
think we can make it a real home.

- Tell you what, I said...  Let me call Tiffany and see if she has any
intuition.

I called her and she answered on the first ring.  She didn't say hello or
asked how we were doing.

- The answer is yes to whatever question you have, she said.  I guess you
will have quite a lot to tell me once you're back here.  I have a feeling
that we won't see each other as much as in the past, but each time we will
see each other, will be special, that's for sure.  What are you both up to?

- Actually, just in a nutshell, we are moving to Costa Rica!

- That explains why I had the sensation your house was for sale.  By the
way, I don't know how much you ask for your house but Trevor is desperately
looking to buy a house.  If you want I can give him the information as I
see him this afternoon!

- That would be great.  I'll have to check what the real value of the house
is and that is something I'll do as soon as we are back and I'll let you
know or call Trevor directly.

- Ok, that's settled then.  I am waiting to see you and getting updated as
soon as you are back.

We hung up.  I looked at Alex and he had heard the conversation as I had
put on the loudspeaker.

- I guess that is settled then! Alex said.

We went back inside and found the real estate agent.

- Did you gentlemen wanted to see more houses?  I still have quite a few on
the list.

- Actually we won't take more of your time.  We think we are decided.  We
want this one!

- That's fantastic!

- But we are going back in two days time.  So, if you could have all the
papers ready before then, we will gladly sign them.  We will make a money
transfer to your bank account as a deposit on the house as soon as we are
back.  If needed, we can meet at the airport before our flight to sign the
papers and a few hours later the transfer will be done.

To say the salesman was happy would be an understatement.  We didn't know
how real estate sales went, but it was probable that getting a sale that
quickly decided was not something that happened every day.  Jeez, I had
never bought something as expensive as a house in such a short time!  He
took a kind of basic contract out of his briefcase and filled in the
necessary data.  The clause of the payment was added and we all three
signed that first contract.  We received the original and he kept a copy.
After that he invited us back to his office to have a little celebration
but we declined politely saying we still had a four hour drive back to
Samara.  He promised to keep in touch and said we would see each other at
the airport just before our flight.

We had another look around of the house and I could easily imagine it with
new furniture and our personal things.  There were a few paintings in the
house back home that I could see hanging here on the walls and above the
open fireplace.  That house gave me so much good vibrations and I was sure
Tiffany would feel exactly the same.  I was sure she was going to come and
visit us and feel at home at once in this house.  But we didn't want to
keep up the salesman too long.  We took a few pictures with our cell phones
and asked the man if he had the original plans with the measures on it.  It
would certainly help when we were going to do some furniture shopping.  He
promised to have them on the day of our departure.  We bid our farewells
and started our journey back to Samara.

It was amazing how everything suddenly looked so different.  Suddenly this
was not just a country we were visiting.  It became in a very, VERY short
time the place where we were going to live.  We looked at things with a lot
more attention, taking note of what was where and what was available for a
daily life.  Just the drive from the house to the motorway was filled with
shops, restaurants, markets, pharmacies and so on.

Arriving in Samara we were glad to have a jump in the pool and refresh.
After that we had a cocktail at the bar.  I took out my laptop and started
to write down everything we had to do as soon as we were back home.  The
list was quite extensive.  I asked if Alex could call Miss Rodriguez and
see if she could open a bank account on my name as well.  She was ready to
do so and even offered to have all the legal papers ready for me as well.
She said that going through the whole process for one or for two was
exactly the same.  I just had to send her a copy of my passport.  I made a
picture of it with my phone and sent her the file by SMS.  The next day we
received both our bank account numbers by SMS again and with a message
saying that both accounts were ready to use.  She would, just as the real
estate agent, come to the airport to make me sign whatever was necessary.
I went on-line to my bank account back home and did a first transfer of
money to my new one.  It would help paying the deposit on the house.

I also sent an SMS to Trevor, telling him my house was for sale and ask him
if he wanted to make an offer.  It took him about a quarter of an hour to
answer with an offer I couldn't refuse!  I sent him a message back.

"At this price, it is a sealed deal!"

That was one problem less!  I knew Trevor and I knew he had probably
investigated the market and thought the price he was offering was a fair
price.  I received a message back.

"Deposit of ten percent has been made to your account my friend.  Don't
want to lose such an opportunity!"

Alex was flabbergasted at the easiness with which that deal was made, but
then again he didn't know Trevor that well.  I knew he had quite some money
after the death of his parents and the job he had.  Buying my house was not
a problem for him.  He was still in for a surprise, as I had not mentioned
yet that the house came fully furnished.

So, here we were.  Alex had a well-paid job.  I had sold my house and we
had bought the new one here.  The legal papers were in process of being ok.
Alex had a BMW as a company car and I still had to choose one for me.  The
only thing left was organizing the move, buying furniture and signing the
deed on the house.  The other thing we had to do at home was closing
accounts and Alex to resign from his work.  Even though we were on the
verge of flying back, we could only think about one thing.

San Jose!  Here we come!
