Chocolateen Part 2Chapter 5: Moving To New Zealand free porn video
Frank and his wives went back to running the Chocolateen Corporation, while my wives and I continued the effort of preparing to move to New Zealand. Frank and I were right; our wives hated the idea of engineering events that would lead to the media invading our lives. They accepted the idea as a necessity, and only agreed to go along with it when we told them we would be involved in deciding what would be engineered and how the media would be enticed into taking action.
I talked with Paul and Sally about beginning the process of incorporating our new corporations and investigating the process of applying for New Zealand citizenship. We accepted the idea of them remaining a separate legal firm that would support us; at least, we agreed to try it. We sensed they would perform better as independent business owners than as employees. Two days later, I got a phone call from Paul.
"Jim, I looked into the matters that you asked me to confirm. Incorporating a company in New Zealand is a relatively easy task. In fact, you can do it on-line from the US. I recommend that you wait until you have moved here or return for another visit to do that so we can discuss the process with you.
"According to New Zealand law, you will need to reside in New Zealand for five years before you can apply for citizenship. The first step is to apply for an entry visa. All three of you could qualify under the Entrepreneurs Work Visa category. I am not sure of Jim C's financial status and plans, but alternatively, if the three of you are each willing to invest $10 million NZ dollars, then the Investor Plus category would be the best choice for the three of you. Under both of these visa categories, your domestic partners and children will be eligible to accompany you. Once you have lived in New Zealand for several years, you will be eligible to apply for a Residence Visa. Your Chocolateen Corporation employees can also apply for an Employee of a Relocating Business Visa."
"Thanks Paul, I will get with Jim C and brief him on this information. Have you been in contact with the realtor that is helping us look for property?"
"Yes, I talked with him last week. He said there is nothing close to Auckland that meets your needs, but there are several large lots near Hamilton and Cambridge that may be of interest."
"Have the realtor send me the specifics of the lots Paul. I informed him to make sure the land is zoned for industrial use. Kirk and I also discussed with you the expansions that we expect to happen over the next 20 years, so verify that the land is suitable for those uses. You also need to have him check with the local building department to ensure that we will be able to obtain building permits for the necessary construction."
"Alright Jim, Sally and I will see that everything is taken care of. Is there anything else that you need us to do?"
"Yes there is one other item. Frank and I will want to build a new home close to our new headquarters. The home will be very large, so we will need a lot that has electricity, water, and sewage service available. We have found that we need a private security force to ensure our families safety, and a portion of our security force will live on the property. We will also need to construct 12 houses for their families on the property. Our current property is slightly less than 4 acres and we don't have homes on it for our security force. I would like to buy a lot that is around 30 to 50 acres, or larger, that is located in a rural setting.
"Check with the realtor to see if there are any suitable lots within 20 miles of the Headquarters' lot."
The following week...
"Hello Jim, this is Sally. Yesterday, your realtor notified Paul and I that he had found a very large lot for your business and a second nearby lot that would be ideal for a home."
"That's good news Sally. Where is the property located and what is the asking price?"
"Both properties are just outside Hamilton, which is about 60 miles south of Auckland. The business lot is 50 acres at $1.6 Million NZ dollars, which is about $1.2 Million US dollars. The lot for the house is 35 acres and $800,000 Thousand NZ dollars or about $598 Thousand US dollars."
"Well that is a bit further from Auckland than we were thinking about, but I guess it is within a reasonable distance, and the asking prices seem very reasonable based on US prices.
"Thanks Sally. I'll discuss this with Frank and see what we want to do."
During dinner that night, I said, "I got a phone call from New Zealand today. Sally informed me that our realtor has found us two lots south of Auckland at a very reasonable price.
"It sounds as if we should take a trip to checkout this property. We can also take care of applying for a visa at that time, and other things. What does everyone think of a trip and who wants to go?"
Everyone including our older kids Melisa and Tim wanted to go. Barbara gave her daughter Melisa the look, and Helen gave our son Tim a similar look; Barbara does it better. I could see the kids cringe when they got the look, and it reminded me of the times my mom gave it to me. Then Frank said, "We can't all go this time. You kids have to go to school, and some of us will have to stay home and take care of the kids and business. How long of a trip are you thinking of Jim, and when would we leave?"
"The realtor has sent us a package of information on the property, so we need to go through that first. We should get that package this week. Unless something pops up, I think the trip will be less than a week in country. We should be able to look at the property and see if it is suitable for our needs in less than a day, and then a second day to get the visa paperwork started. If the land is okay, we can check on any local plans that may affect the property and then we can make an offer, which should take no more than a third day. If everything goes smoothly, we may have to attend to a few ancilliary matters. That means it is doable to complete everything within 5 business days."
"Have you mentioned the trip to Jim C yet?"
"No, I thought that I should wait until we get the realtor's package.
"As far as who goes, I would say that Jim C, Frank, and I as a minimum. Jim C mentioned taking his other two wives on a future trip, while Sam watches their kids. I remember his wives Mary and Karen mentioning that it would be nice to get away from the kids for a while. I was thinking of taking our wives along also, but at least two of them will need to stay with the kids.
"I suppose our wives' assistants could watch the store for a couple of weeks, so at least four of our wives should be able to go with us. From a business point of view, Michelle, Barbara, Dana, and Sara should go. If we look at it from a different point of view, my wives and maybe Barbara should go. What do you ladies think?"
Barbara said, "The way I see it is we women have nothing specific to do in New Zealand on this trip. Therefore, I think you men should let we ladies discuss it and decide who should go."
Frank and I looked at each other, and Frank said, "Okay now that that has been decided all we need to do is put together an agenda for what we want to accomplish on this trip."
It took us a week to get ready and travel to Auckland. Barbara and Michelle had volunteered to stay home to watch the kids and take care of any corporation business that needed immediate attention. They said that we were only a phone call away, if something happened that required our input.
The land our realtor wanted us to look at was located southeast of the city limits of Hamilton, NZ. Our pilot Bob Simon suggested that we fly into Hamilton International Airport. It was a good bit closer to Hamilton than Auckland International Airport, and it would allow us to check out the facilities at the airport for housing our plane.
The flight to New Zealand was similar to our prior flight except we decided to layover in Fiji on the outbound leg. The only thing of any significant difference was Mary sat down with Kirk and began a conversation with him as to why he had never married. I knew about his difficulties with women from a similar conversation, so I continued to sit and read my book as they talked.
"Kirk, I was curious about your never marrying. Sam, Karen, and I have a number of friends that you may like to meet, if you are interested."
"Thanks Mary, but for right now, I think I will pass. With everything going on regarding our move to New Zealand, it just doesn't seem like a good time to start a new relationship."
"Oh, then I assume that you have had a number of relationships with women in the past. I am not trying to pry into something that you don't want to discuss, but I am curious how a decent man like you never married. If I'm out of line, just tell me and I'll back off."
"That's okay. I generally don't discuss it with my casual acquaintances, but explaining the situation to a friend is fine with me. It started when I was a teenager. I was very awkward and shy around girls. From the way they reacted to me when I tried to form a friendship, I got the impression that there was something wrong with me. Looking back on things, I can see that the girls I knew were just as awkward as I was at that time.
"When I was in college, I focused on my studies. During my last year or so in high school, I noticed that most of the girls around me were interested in the jocks and if it wasn't the jocks, it was the guys who had bad guy images. They just weren't interested in the nerd group, which I belonged to back then. There was a lot of that type of thing in college also, but the big thing back then were the fraternities and sororities. I thought about a fraternity, but they seemed to be dominated by the jocks and the party scene crowd. I suppose it would have been fun, but as I said, I was there to get an education and I avoided the extracurricular activities that would have diverted me from my scholastic efforts.
"Any way, after I graduated, I was focused on getting my career started. I got into the dating scene at about that time, and was able to balance my social and work activities. Most of the women I met were into the bar scene and so was I. I had a number of serious, casual relationships, but there was always something missing in the relationships."
"Kirk, I don't think I have ever heard of a serious, casual relationship. What do you mean by that?"
"Hum, as you know most bar scene relationships are 1-night stands. The man and woman know that they are going to share a night of sexual pleasure. Sometimes the man and woman find that they enjoy being together and the relationship evolves into a casual sexual friendship were they end up in bed with each other on future occasions. On occasion, the casual relationship turns serious with a discussion of marriage. I think their discussions are actually an attempt to justify their actions in light of our society's disapproval of casual sexual relationships."
"Then I met Tamara. She and I met through a mutual friend. At first, it was just a casual friendship, but we really liked each other and talked about all sorts of things. Then it changed to us going out on a few casual dates, and we discovered that we really liked each other and enjoyed being together. During the next few weeks, our relationship gradually intensified until we reached the point of acknowledging to ourselves that we were a couple and we wanted to explore the possibility of marriage.
"Our sex drives had kicked in and we would engage in some very heavy sexual activity, but Tamara's church was against premarital sex and they disapproved of a couple cohabiting before they married. She believed that the tenents of her church were the proper approach for us. I let her know that I would follow those tenents, but I did not feel that that was the only way for us to develop our relationship. I let her know that I was not opposed to pre-marital sex and that I believed that a couple needed to live together before they married to include sex, in order to fully understand what each of them wanted out of their day-to-day relationship. She agreed with me in principle, but her religious beliefs would not let her agree with me that my beliefs were acceptable and moral for the two of us. I loved her a lot and it seemed that she felt the same way about me. Our necking sessions were very intense and left both of us frustrated. I did my best to not force Tamara into having intercourse with me, but eventually Tamara decided that she wouldn't force us to wait any longer.
"We both knew that we still had a lot to learn about each other before we would be ready to actually get married. However, one night we decided that we would have sex with each other the following evening. We made it a special night with dinner at a fancy restaurant and dancing afterward. Late that night she gave me her virginity.
"For the rest of that month, we continued making love and we started staying at each other's apartment for the night. To me, it seemed as if our relationship was improving. Tamara never mentioned it to me, but she was uncomfortable with the direction that our relationship was headed. She told her minister about the change in our relationship.
"The minister told Tamara that she was living in sin with me and it was immoral for us to engage in intercourse before we married. He convinced her that we had to stop what we were doing and restore our relationship to what it was before we started having sex. She said that according to him, if I was unwilling to do that, then she would know that my only interest in her was sex."
"That's not right Kirk. He had no business interfering in your lives that way."
"I agree Mary, but Tamara didn't see it that way. The minister had convinced her that she had fallen off of the righteous path, and had to do whatever was necessary to return to that path.
"The evening of the day she talked to the Minister, she told me about her discussion with him and what we had to do to make things right. I listened to her, and told her that I disagreed with his opinions, but would not force her to continue having sex with me or to stay over together for the night. Later that evening, I went back to my apartment.
"I sat in my apartment drinking a beer and thinking about my feelings. Tamara had hurt me deeply. I believed that she should have talked with me first. If she needed to discuss the matter with her minister, she should have taken me with her. I still don't have the right words for it, but she violated our relationship and my trust. I decided to accept things as they were and continue our relationship for I loved her very much and didn't want to lose her.
"The saying about not being able to put the genie back into the bottle is very true. Over the next week, our relationship became very strained. Tamara avoided contact with me for her emotions were in a turmoil and I think she was afraid that she would lose control and end up in bed with me again. At least that is what I believed was going on with her. We had lost the ability to openly discuss things that affected our relationship. I was not happy with the way things were going, but kept trying to get our relationship back to the way it had been before we had sex. I could tell that Tamara wanted that also, but the conflict with her church's tenants and the way she wanted to relate with me was causing her to push me away.
"One night after a very uncomfortable evening with Tamara, I sat in my apartment thinking about our relationship and where it might go if we were able to get beyond our current difficulties. I knew that I was angry about having to revert back to a no-sex relationship, but I could have lived with that. There was something else bothering me about what happened, and that something suddenly became clear to me. Tamara had allowed a third person to dictate how she and I should live our lives.
"Once I came to that realization, I knew that our relationship would never be the same again. That made me very sad and I just sat in my apartment silently crying for what we had lost. The question then was did I want to pursue a relationship with Tamara. It would not be the same, but it might be a very good life and we did love each other. I had almost convinced myself to talk with Tamara and to try and re-establishing a relationship with her, when a thought crossed my mind.
"Assuming we were successful in our attempt, what would happen the next time our lives deviated from the path her minister believed we should be following? He would undoubtedly say something to Tamara, and what would she do?
"The thought of Tamara telling me that we had to live our lives according to what her minister believed was right, was not a path that I would follow. When that happened, and it would happen for there were other tenants of her church that I disagreed with, my life with Tamara would end in a divorce. I couldn't see either of us renouncing our beliefs to save our marriage. I could see myself giving in to some extent, but Tamara was so devoted to her beliefs, I just couldn't see her giving in on anything. Especially since she had fallen off the true path once before.
"I knew that would not accept her church's beliefs and Tamara would not go against her religious beliefs. If I tried to force her into doing so, she would come to hate me. Reluctantly, I decided to just let our relationship die. Over the next few weeks, we stopped seeing each other and we became casual, but strained friends.
"The last time I talked with Tamara, she told me the minister was right about me just being interested in her for sex. I shook my head sadly and told her that he and she were wrong about me. I told her our relationship would have led to marriage and a long happy life together if her minister had not interfered in our lives. I made it clear that when I did marry, my life with my wife would be defined by the two of us; I would not accept a third person tell us how to live our lives."
"That is really sad Kirk. It sounds as if the two of you were very happy until he stuck his two cents into your lives. Why do people have to always tell others how to live their lives?"
"I don't know Mary. In retrospect, it seems to me that if he had not intervened when he did, we would have married and then he would have intervened during our married life. Things would have been worse then, for we might have had children and I would not have tolerated him interfering in my marriage. I would have fought to keep us together, and I'm not sure how far I would have gone to keep him out of our lives. Regardless of how much we loved each other, I think Tamara was so committed to her church that our marriage would not have survived the problems his intervention would have caused us.
"Any way, it took me years to get over the hurt that Tamara's actions caused me. I had changed. I don't avoid women because I hate them; I avoid them for I just don't trust them. To reinforce my feelings, a number of my married friends ended up getting a divorce at about the same time. I would hear both sides of each couple's relationship during the divorce proceedings. After a while it became a reoccurring pattern. The guy would bitch about how his wife was always trying to change him and that he could never do anything that pleased her. His wife would bitch about how he wasn't paying her the attention like he had when they were dating and that he never talked with her anymore. She did not understand that men have trouble understanding the concept of emotional intimacy, so she complained that he would try to have sex with her every time she brought up the topic of them becoming more intimate with each other.
"It seemed to me that men and women started their relationships due to a physical attraction, which is a poor reason for committing to a relationship, and then they made things worse by getting married before they learned enough about the other person's wants, needs, feelings, and goals in life. I recall breaking up with one woman I was dating. We were discussing an engaged couple we were friends with. She told me that the woman would have a lot of work ahead of her to change the guy into what she wanted as a husband. I found her comment offensive, after all, what are we men to women; a hunk of clay to be moulded into something that fits their idea of a proper husband. I let her know how I felt about that concept and we parted company that evening after a heated argument.
"So far Mary, I have not met a woman that I am interested in that I feel I can trust. I've gone out with a lot of women over the years, but I always develop the sense that they have a hidden agenda. They try to present themselves as someone they aren't and seem so accepting of me as I am. Then over a month or so, their real personality and wants slowly begin to appear. When that happens, I lose interest in them and we drift apart.
"I would be happy to meet your friends Mary, but I doubt that I will ever meet a woman that is right for me. I don't need a perfect woman, I will be happy with someone who respects me for who I am and is willing to live with all my flaws and imperfections. Just like I will live with her flaws and imperfections for as long as we both care for each other and are honest with each other."
