Chapter #18b

“I, too, was surprised. I am sure that once we get started there will be even more. I will get back to you with my suggestions on investments within a few days. Joseph, I want to thank you also. You did very well. Perhaps you would like to come into the city tomorrow and see how this next step operates. I'm sure we can put you up at the house. I'll even invite Rich, if he can get away from that play he is in. Sarah will be happy to see you.”

“I can make it for Saturday. Tomorrow is Friday and I'm going to the Mosque with Fazzi. I think our clients would like it if I'm seen at their services.” Joseph said. “Besides I'm interested in learning all I can about our customers.”

“Good idea, but if you change your mind just let me know, you are always welcome.” Richard said as he was leaving. “Sarah will be unhappy, but business comes first. She is used to this by now, with me.”

After he left Fazzi looked at Joseph with a look of incredibility on his face. He shook his head from side to side and said, “I hope, my love, that was not a big mistake. I don't understand why you treat that man and his family so… so… what is that word in English…Yes casually. First you do not invite him to your graduation and then you refuse an invitation to be a guest at his home. It is as if you do not like him and to make matters even worse, you do not care if he knows it or not.”

“Habibi, I'm sure he does not feel that way. I like Richard and his family very much and I'm sure he knows that. This is a culture thing. Sometimes we use expressions like 'Call me sometime' or 'Come over this week end'. They are not really invitations, but rather nice meaningless things we say to indicate that the conversation is over.” Joseph said and then took Fazzi's hand in his and asked, “Shall we go to bed now?”

“Are you just asking that as one of your meaningless invitations or are you propositioning me for real?” questioned the Arab. “I will never understand the intricacy of the American language or culture.”

“You do quite well my love. I only wish I could understand your culture as well as you understand ours.” Joseph said as he pulled Fazzi to him and kissed his lips and hugged him and whispered in his ear, “I did not think that I had to 'proposition' you anymore. I thought we were passed that point. But to make it 100% clear, my cock is getting harder and harder. I want you in bed with me… NOW!”

They kissed again, only this time more deeply and held on to each other tighter. “When they broke the kiss, Fazzi looked around the room and said, “I guess we could leave the cleanup to the servants to do in the morning. After all, that is why I pay them.” They went upstairs and tried to make love, but Joseph's treatment of Richard was still bothering Fazzi and finally he insisted that he try to make amends.

“Ok, I'll tell you what. I will call Richard tomorrow and tell him that I will join him and the family late Friday night. I will pick up Rich after his performance and the two of us will spend Saturday at his place. We can use that time to go over his proposals. Are you happy now? Can we make love now? I surrender to you.”

Fazzi said, “I accept your surrender. Do you realize that we have had our first fight? See we have made it over the first hurdle.”

Joseph smiled to himself realizing that this man in bed beside him had just given him his passport to be with Rich over the weekend.

The next morning Joseph called Rich and told him to expect him at the theater. He would pick him up and they could either travel to Long Island or spend the night in Manhattan and then go the next morning.

“Where are you?” Rich asked. “Can you come early? We can go to eat before the theater.”

“I'm in Paterson. I have to go with Fazzi to Mosque. That is usually an all day thing with the congregation having social meetings after. I don't think I can get away before six or seven. In case I'm not there by the time the play starts, leave word at the box office for them to let me in.” Joseph instructed him. “How is the play going?”

“Very well! As a matter of fact I have been offered a part in Broadway play. Not the lead but it is a rather large supporting part.” Rich said in a voice that Joseph could tell was bubbling over with excitement.

“Fantastic! You are really beginning to move. I am really happy for you.”

“Dad told me about the meeting last night. He said you did a class 'A' job. And that money wise it was better than he expected. Anyway I'll see you this evening and you can fill me in on the details. I have to run now. I have an acting class in a half hour. See you tonight.”

Joseph said good-bye and then Fazzi and he went to services. As a non-Muslim Joseph was not required to assume the position that Muslims usually take during prayer, but he expressed the desire to be instructed in the proper methods and Fazzi was only too happy to take him in hand and instruct him and explain everything to him. When some of the regular worshipers raised an eyebrow, Fazzi told them that this was his future son-in-law and that Joseph was thinking of converting.

“Did you think I would allow a non believer to become part of my family?” He answered them and that seemed to satisfy everyone.

“He should go for formal instruction.” One of the men demanded.

“Yes he should and will do that. When the time is right. Until then I will be his teacher. Could you find a better one to take him under his wing?' Fazzi laughed.

That seemed to satisfy everyone and the congregation formally invited Joseph to join them in prayer. After prayer there was a learning session and collation. Joseph followed the discussions as best he could. Now and then he would ask Fazzi to clarify a point or two. Many of the people came over later and told Fazzi that they had heard about the meeting last night and that they too would like to invest money in the 'club'. Joseph overheard some younger men say something to the effect that soon money would flow to the freedom fighters and we will avenge 'an-Nakba', the catastrophe. It was said just out of his hearing or so they thought. This was the first time that there was a direct connection made between the community and terrorists. But it was conformation that the community at least thought that Fazzi was going to funnel aid to 'Hamas'. Or at least, that this was something other than what it appeared to be.

After services Joseph returned with Fazzi to the house where he packed his bag and got into his uniform and got ready to leave.

At the door Fazzi embraced Joseph and told him how happy he was that Joseph had come to Mosque with him.

“I liked it and had a good time. The services were meaningful and informative and the discussion afterward was useful. I'm glad you asked me to come. I hope we can do it again soon.”

Delighted Fazzi beamed as he kissed Joseph and told him, “We can go anytime you want. From now on-you and I will go every Friday if you are here. You better get moving if you are going to meet Richard's son. Give them all my regards and perhaps you can arrange some kind of social get-together, to launch the official beginning of the Arab American Investment Club. I think its time that we got together for social reasons now. Do you agree?”

“Well Richard Junior works evenings but the rest of the family might be amenable by now.”
