Chapter 3

About 10 minutes before 5am, my eyes popped open, at first not knowing where I was; but with the soft, warm bodies beside me, I soon remembered. We had shifted several times during the night; now I was spooning Kelly, with Irene lying next to me. I almost decided to stay in bed, then decided I really needed to set a new routine. I tried to get out of bed without disturbing Kelly, but I ended up rousing her a little bit.

“Where are you going?” she mumbled.

“I’m going to go PT, exercise; go back to sleep, I’ll be back in an hour or so,” I whispered to her. I eased out of bed, covered her back up; and went into my room where I put on running shorts and shoes, and an old T-shirt. I headed out the door, the sun was just coming up; compared to South Carolina it was a nice crisp morning, I jogged down the driveway and headed down the street. I jogged for a mile just to loosen up, stopped and did some calisthenics, sprinted for another mile, more calisthenics; I then did a serious three-mile run in probably 20 minutes. I paused for a few more calisthenics, then one more mile jog to cool down some, then walked the rest of the way home. All told, about an hour; I could do that most mornings and easily stay in shape.

I took my sweaty T-shirt off as I walked up the driveway, used it to wipe the dew off the picnic table in the backyard, then sat down to rest for a moment. I heard the Miller’s back door open; Jill came out and made her way to me, carrying a cup of coffee. She sat down and said, “You’re up early.”

“My body is still on the boot camp schedule; I woke up at 5:00 and decided I might as well go do some exercising. I’ll probably do this every morning; I hope I don’t disturb you.” I started to put my T-shirt back on, but she stopped me.

“Don’t put your shirt on, I like looking at you. It’s like you’ve been carved in granite, then sand-blasted to smooth the rough edges; all these new muscles are going to drive the ladies crazy.” Jill lowered her voice a little bit; “I’d really like to check them out for myself, but I’d better not. You and the girls are coming over for breakfast in a little bit, aren’t you?”

“That’s the plan, I need to go upstairs and take a shower. I’m hoping the girls are awake and will be moving pretty soon.”

“When you and the girls are ready for breakfast, just come on in; we’ll chat while I figure out what I’m going to make.”

“Sounds good to me.” I spoke. “Hopefully, it will only be 30 minutes, but it may be closer to 45.”

Jill headed back inside, I went up the stairs and into the apartment. It was quiet; I peeked into the girl’s room, Irene was alone in bed, still asleep; I looked in my room, Kelly was lying back in my bed, smiling and beckoning to me; “Come back to bed, baby;’ she whispered, “I could use a quickie.”

“I just finished exercising honey; I’m not sweating anymore, but I’m probably pretty salty; and we need to be over at the Millers for breakfast in 40 minutes or so.”

“Plenty of time for a quickie,” Kelly giggled; throwing the covers off, and spreading her arms and legs for me. I rapidly shed my clothes and got into bed beside her; after a quick kiss, she rolled me over on my back; then kissed her way down my body to suck on me. She worked on me until I was fully erect, humming her enjoyment; then moved back up my body to kiss me again. “You are a little salty, and fragrant,” she said, “but I like it. Now you just lay there, this one’s for me; I don’t think I’ll take long.” She straddled me and got us lined up; then sat back down on to me with a happy sigh. “I really missed mornings like this,” she chuckled. She started out slow, but picked up speed quickly; “Reach down between us, and put your fingers where I can rub my clit on them.” she demanded, panting a little. I got my fingers in the right spot and she started grinding her pelvis on me, it didn’t take much more for her to hit her peak. Her orgasm wasn’t long or strong, but seemed to satisfy her. She sat up, looked down at me and smiled; “I really, really missed mornings like this. Do you need a turn?” she asked.

“No, I’m good for now. We’re running a little late, you go take a shower and get ready; I’ll go make sure Irene’s awake.” She leaned down and kissed me again; then climbed off me and headed for the bathroom. I laid in the bed for a minute to allow my erection to subside a bit, then wiped myself off a little with the old T-shirt and headed into the girl’s bedroom. I sat on the side of the bed next to Irene; she rolled over to face me, stretched, and looked at me with a smile on her face.

“I felt you get out of bed earlier, thank you for not waking me. Did you go exercise?” she asked.

“Yes, I did my morning PT, got back about 30 minutes ago; Kelly says I’m a little salty and fragrant right now. She’s taking a shower; we need to be at the Millers for breakfast in about 30 minutes; I’m just making sure you’re up.”

“I’m awake, but not ready to get out of bed yet. Why don’t you climb in here with me, and cuddle a little bit more while Kelly showers? I missed having your body against mine.”

“I’m a little smelly,” I said; “I don’t want to get the sheets messed up, and we have to change them.”

“Honey, we probably won’t change these sheets till long after you’ve left,” she chuckled. “While you were gone, we kept sprinkling your aftershave on the sheets on your bed; and going in there and laying down for a while, just to comfort ourselves. Get in here, baby; spoon me,” she giggled and rolled over.

We spooned for a few minutes; me cupping her breast and caressing her, while she snuggled back against me. We talked a bit; she told me Janice had moved to Pittsburg after school let out and transferred to a college there; she was supposed to call her when I got back. We heard the shower stop, Irene reluctantly got out of bed and headed for the bathroom; I just laid there relaxing until Kelly came into the room to get me. She started talking about what had happened while I was gone; nothing important, but she had used the Buick several times going back and forth to work and school when the girls had different schedules. She took me back to her room, reached into her underwear drawer, and took out the envelope of money I had left with her; she walked over and gave it to me with a kiss; neither of them had needed it, she thanked me for leaving it with her. She started dressing, telling me that both of them were scheduled for work that day 11 to 8; Irene came into the room to get dressed, so I finally got to go take my shower. It was wonderful not having to complete it in 30 seconds; I shaved, and was in my bedroom dressing when I heard a phone ring.

I went into the kitchen; Kelly was dressed and obviously telling Jill we’d be over in a couple minutes, and to have the coffee ready. She hung up; at my questioning look at the phone she told me they’d had it put in while I was gone. Kelly for sure was going to keep the apartment for another year; Irene was probably going to stay another year also. Pretty soon Irene joined us, and we headed down the stairs to the Miller’s for breakfast.

Breakfast with the Millers was great; Jill made a little bit of everything, and we sat and talked for a couple hours. Mary, their 18-year-old daughter, joined us; she had just graduated high school a year early and was turning into a full-figured beauty, just like her mother. They all laughed at the funny stories I told about boot camp, and all remarked about the great shape I was in. When I mentioned I needed chevrons sewed on a couple shirts, Jill told me she could take care of that today; just leave me an example so she knew exactly where to put them on the sleeves. Kelly and Irene left to get ready for work; I talked with Jack about putting in a ramp for him at the back door and sketched it out. He approved the plan, and was going to check about getting some materials delivered early Monday morning. I offered to mow the grass; I told Jack I could use the mindless labor opportunity to do some thinking. I also told Jack I was going to wash the Buick; would he like me to get the Caddy out and wash it too? He agreed to everything, under the condition that I would go with them the next day for a Sunday afternoon drive; he’d even let me do the driving. So, after giving Jill the shirts, that’s how I spent the day; it was a nice, peaceful afternoon, something I hadn’t had for months. I washed both cars; after I was done mowing, I cleaned up and took the Buick out for supper; and went shopping for a few more clothes; I need a couple more casual shirts and pants, some shorts that weren’t gym shorts, and a few odds and ends. I got back to the apartment and called my stepdad; we chatted a bit and arranged for him and me to have supper at the restaurant Monday evening.
