Moonrails....!

"Hey, sweetie. your mom and I are pretty hungry. I think we should get started on that barbecue!"

Alex looked up from the paper and smiled. "Sure dad. Everything is ready for you guys. Did you rest well?"

"Yeah I think I did nap a bit. So what happened to that guy? Is he joining us or what?"

Alex smiled sadly at his dad and said: "No it doesn't look like he's going to make it. He said to go on without him. Maybe next time you guys come." And with that she folded up the paper and calmly passed her dad to the kitchen.

Maximus frowned a bit but decided not to overthink it. If anything, he was glad. He was really looking forward to spending this time for the family to get together, especially the two sisters. It's time they work things out between each other. Maddy didn't let it show but it was obvious she felt very lonely, especially after that bastard threw her out. Alex can be a great comfort for her. Maximus was in his own head, thinking about the possibility for this family reunion to become a true family reunion and walked back in with these thoughts.

Moonrails 

Matt spoke loudly and clearly to the speaker. And just like that, the door to the building opened and Matt drove in with his Jaguar 4000, making the engine sound, dramatizing the entire effect. He had been given the car at the airport by the company representatives. Matt was so excited by the sight that he didn't even rush to get the code to his new home. He wanted to get into that car and start driving off already. 

"You will follow this address, which is already set in the system of the car. When you reach the building, drive up to the gate and say the code, loudly and clearly." The man had a thick Arabic accent when he spoke. He was wearing a long black coat and dark shades. 

Matt nodded quickly, compliant as ever, and waited for the car keys.

The man reached into his pocket and took a package out and gave it to Matt. "This package has the password in it. It is touch sensitive, which only reacts to your DNA. Good luck." And with that, the heavy accented man turned to walk away.

"No--but wait. How do I drive this car? I think you forgot the keys? Is it already in or...?" Matt looked inside briefly to look for the keys but it looked like it was off and no sign of the keys. 

"You will not need keys for this car. This car has already been programmed to only respond to your touch and voice." When Matt still looked confused, the man showed him and taught him to say his name first to the car, and the car automatically opened its doors. Matt got in and the man explained that there was no need for keys because his voice acted as the keys to the car. Matt sat down in the car and said, in a commanding voice, drive and the car started and started following the directions to his destination. Matt sat back, took out the champagne that was made available for him and started drinking from the bottle. 

When Matt's car parked itself in the driveway, Matt got out to peer at the building in front of him. It was magnificent. It must've been at least 10 stories high. That's not nearly as tall as most buildings but all of this belonged to him. He walked up to the front door and opened the door casually as the apartment, was DNA-specific as was the car. He ran in like a little boy to explore. He spotted a scooter that he assumed was a way to get around the building easily. 

The building wasn't like traditional buildings at all. In fact, it seemed like it was 10 stories high but it was actually 7 floors. There were two elevators on each side of the building. Other than the main front door, everything else were glass windows. The first two floors were just what looked like garages. On the third floor, the elevator door opened to the gym area with full equipment of cardio and weight training machines, studio with bars all around and yoga mats, a basketball net and many other sports equipments. There were also a spa sauna and showers/bath area. The fourth floor opened to a beautiful flat that included the kitchen area, bathrooms, and lounging areas. The fifth floor opened to the office area with a long conference table, desks, computers, etc. The sixth floor opened to what looked like another lounge/party area, with a full bar on the side. The seventh floor was the bedroom. The view was amazing as it overlooked the great Dubai area. Matt noticed that there was also another button in the elevator that led to the rooftop. He pushed it and was pleasantly surprised to see that it led to the most awesome area of all, the pool. Matt wondered how he would ever be able to use this pool in this cold. "It's too damn cold." Suddenly, without warning, from all around the area, doors started coming down, glass doors to be exact and heat was dispensed and the area was suddenly hot, closed to the cold but it seemed impossible because the glass that surrounded the area was so thin that it seemed like it wasn't even there.

With that, Matt smiled, took off his clothes and jumped into the pool.

"Hi babe. I'm so sorry it took me so long to call you. You would not believe what I've been through all this time. And the worst part is, I missed you. I really really missed you. Please forgive me. Can you forgive me?"

Matt had already taken a warm shower after the amazing swim he had and was sitting in the lounge area and having a glass of the highest quality scotch. He also switched to his Mandala before he made the call. 

"Hi sweetie. I know. It's okay. You don't have to worry about me. I think I'm going to be okay this weekend." Alex was still letting her Mandala in control of her. 

The day had planned out very well organized, as Alex had hoped. She laughed to the jokes that her dad had said, helped out with the barbecue and even talked to her sister for hours. She almost wanted to come back and she even did for a few minutes only to be overcome by emotion again and let her Mandala back in. Every time she saw her sister looking her way, that guilt just crept back in. Thankfully, no one was suspicious of her being on her Mandala though. It was already past midnight when Matt had finally called her. She had just returned to her body when she got the called but knew that if she answered on her own behalf, she wouldn't be able be the calm person that he needs now. So she had switched back right away. 

Matt wasn't surprised to hear Alex's calm voice. If anything, that's how Mandalas work. They understand each other. They may have that magic effect on regular human beings, but to each other, they area logical and they understand each other. "I'm so glad you are feeling good my dear. How are your parents doing? Did you guys have a good barbecue?"

And with that, the pair had a calm and peaceful conversation until they finally said goodbye to each other and Matt turned off his phone. He called back to his Mandala and opened his eyes to be himself. He then called the special hotline that was made available for him to order in. Except that this was a different kind of delivery. Along with his dinner, he was able to order in a woman strictly for his own pleasures. Thirty minutes later, and Asian arrived with freshly home-made Ramen soup. She delivered the soup in the exact attire he had requested and as soon as she arrived, she put the soup down on the table and bended and waited, expectantly...

Alex opened the door after it rang several times. It was Fred. He was wearing nothing but his boxers, those same boxers that he had worn that night.

"Fred, what are you doing here? Are you crazy? My parents...Maddy is here!"

Fred just smiled and moved towards Alex, who stepped back. She tried to cover herself with her scarf only to notice that she, too, wasn't wearing anything. She looked at Fred who was hungrily smiling and checking out her body. She quickly tried to cover her body and looked for an escape. 

Fred stopped and said: "You want this as much as I do." And then he pushed himself on her.

Alex woke up with a start. She was only dreaming. It was only a dream. But damn, it seemed so real. She looked over to her side. Maddy was still asleep. She got up and went to the master bathroom.....

I'm trying to write more this week. I'm pushing myself to add to the writing time for myself. I mentioned this in my last post--that I'm trying to write 90 minutes a day, instead of 60. I have to say, especially after being out of the habit for 3 days, today it was particularly difficult to get myself to write for even an hour let alone an hour and a half. I finally managed an hour and fifteen minutes. I know I'm probably just making excuses but I'm in my campus library and it is just freezing. I think it is in improvement though and tomorrow, I will push to get to the full 90 minute mark. Also, my goal is to try to give an ending to this story by the end of this week, on Saturday, Nov. 5th!
