Chapter 5

Thursday morning was nice; I was up well before the girls and did my PT, then fixed breakfast for us again. We left at 9, dropping my uniforms off at the cleaners first, then had a nice 2-hour drive to the Falls. We got to talk about the future; what I’d possibly be doing and their plans, I brought up the subject of them going on dates and were told they were thinking about it; they were not going to do anything along those lines until after I left. I told them I might be back for Christmas or New Years but weren’t sure if I’d be allowed; they assured me I’d be welcome to stay with them. Actually they were a little more forceful than that; I’d better stay with them or there would be trouble. We had a good time; Irene had never been there and we did a lot of the tourist stuff; we had pictures taken, and I took the girls for an early supper at the revolving restaurant on top of the Skylon Tower. We got back well after dark, the girls happy but tired. After a little bit of TV Irene told me she would just like the three of us to cuddle and sleep together tonight; we all cleaned up a little and got ready to go to bed. They still have their panties on, so I leave my underwear on and we retire for the night; I’m on my back between them again and soon realize there’s going to be some extended casual talking with the cuddling. Mostly it’s about what a nice day it was, and how much they enjoy me being back and taking care of them again; it’s close to midnight before they wind down and fall asleep, spooning me.

Friday and I’m now adjusted to getting up at 6; I go do my PT and come back around 7 to find the girls are well aware I’m leaving the next day. They are both still in the big bed and want me to join them for a little bit; over their objections I take a quick shower first, we cuddle and talk until 9 when they finally get moving. Once they’re ready for work I make breakfast again; they are on their way at 10:30 and I get to work cleaning the apartment thoroughly, and getting my belongings organized and packed. I go pick up my uniforms at the cleaners’; and come back to find Mary sitting at the picnic table, waiting for me.

“You’re leaving tomorrow?” she asked, with a serious look.

“Probably early tomorrow afternoon.” I tell her, “It turns out I need to stop in Pittsburg on my way to Memphis.”

“You’re going to visit Janice?”

“She’s a friend; and it’s pretty much on the way.”

“How do I get to be a friend?”

Ahh. I sit down across from her; “We have to get to know each other first; I’ve been awfully busy, and now I’m leaving; we won’t have a chance to do that right now, especially if we’re talking about what I think we’re talking about.”

“But you will be back from time to time, won’t you?”

“Yes, I will. I’m not close to my real family; but I’ll make it a point to keep in touch with your mom and dad, they’re important to me.”

“What about Kelly and Irene, how did you become friends with them? I know you don’t think of them as your girlfriends, but you seem to be very close.”

“That’s more than a little complicated; I’m not sure I completely understand how we got to where we are. I’m not really into casual sex, despite the appearances.”

That finally gets a smile from her; “The appearances are confusing, at least to me. I overheard a lot when Chris and the girls were first having my mom do their hair. I was really happy when they let me openly listen to them; it made me feel like I was finally being seen as an adult. The four of you seem to have something completely different going on, something special; I was intrigued, I still am.”

“It is pretty special; I’d do just about anything for any of them. The big difference is me; I don’t want children, I’m sure I never will; and that’s important to every woman I’ve talked to so far. Not that I’ve talked to that many ladies about it; but the ones I have, all want children sometime; don’t you?”

“I guess so; way off in the future sometime. Definitely not anytime soon; I want to finish college and travel a bit, see what’s out there before I settle down with someone. I haven’t been seriously attracted to a guy before you; and I don’t know what to do about it,” she blushed.

“You don’t have to do anything quite yet; just don’t rush into anything, and that includes me. You are a very attractive girl, and you’re going to be a stunning woman; sex is one of the more important things in life. Talk to Kelly and Irene about it, if you don’t want to talk to your mother.”

“Do you think they’d seriously talk to me about it?” she asked. “My mom looks at me and still sees her little girl.”

“I understand; but if you start talking to your mom about sex, she’ll realize you aren’t a little girl anymore.”

“I wouldn’t even know how to start!” she exclaimed.

“Tell her what you just told me; that you are seriously attracted to me, and don’t know what to do about it. Just make sure you tell her; I told you to take your time,” I joke with her.

“I will,” she laughed, “but if you do come back for the holidays; I hope you’ll make some time for me.”

“You definitely need to talk to Kelly and Irene about that; that’s not something I’d do without talking to them about it anyway; meanwhile, we’re sitting here getting to know each other. I’ll be writing your folks from time to time, you can write me if you’d like; we can be pen-pals and get to know each other better that way.”

“You’d write back to me?”

“Of course I would; I bet there’s lots of interesting things going on behind those gorgeous eyes of yours.”

“You’re just being nice,” she blushed.

“I am being nice; but it’s because I want to be nice to you. You do have very pretty eyes; and the rest of you isn’t bad at all,” I chuckle to her.

“So you have noticed!” she giggled. “I didn’t think you saw me at all.”

“Honey, guys are always going to notice you; talk to the girls about how to handle that. They’ll tell you how to discourage or encourage men, whichever you want to do. Just be aware; you are loaded for bear, and us bears don’t have a chance.”

“So you think I’m dangerous?” she giggled again, getting into the conversation.

“Honey, you’ve got weapons you have no idea how to properly use; you’re going to slay dozens of guys without knowing you’re doing it. Please, talk to Kelly and Irene; just think of all the broken hearts you could be saving,” I laugh at her.

Now she’s laughing too; “Okay; I was pretty nervous sitting here waiting for you, I feel pretty good now. Thanks for talking to me like an adult; and I’ll think about talking to my mother. Could you approach Kelly and Irene about talking to me; let them know I want to?”

“Absolutely. If it’s okay with you, I’ll tell them about our conversation today; they will probably come to you about it.”

“Okay. They won’t be mad about my interest in you, will they?”

“I don’t think that’s even possible. You know a little bit about what’s going on between the three of us; I’m sure they wouldn’t mind telling you their thoughts about it.”

“You don’t know what they think about it?”

“Not the details, I just know we enjoy our time together,” I tell her. “I think I’m one of the luckiest guys in the world; that 3 different women seem to maybe not completely understand me, but are attracted to me; and are willing to accept me the way I am, at least for now. I know I’m still young, and some of my ideas may change as I get older; but for now I don’t think I could have made better friends and lovers.”

“Can I kiss you?” she blushed again.

“And I’ll kiss you; but we need to set some rules about this one.”

“You’re going to make rules about us kissing!” she exclaimed.

“You bet; didn’t I just say something about weapons you don’t know how to use yet?”

“Okay, “she giggled, “What are the rules?”

“We both have to clasp our hands behind our backs, no letting go; and the kiss has to be over by dark.”

“You’re making this a lot of fun. It’s 2 now; I’m pretty sure I’ll be done by dark, how about you?” she tells me, eyes sparkling.

“I think that if this kiss goes as well as I think it will; I’ll never want to be done kissing you.”

I stood up and moved around the picnic table to her side, then took her hand and helped her stand and move in front of me. I showed her my clasped hands behind me; she giggled and did the same. We were a couple inches apart when the kiss started, me leaning my head forward and giving her the best kiss I knew how; we were only into it a few seconds before she moved forward and leaned her body against mine. I left it up to her when to break it off; but it was a very good kiss. At first, I just moved my lips against hers; but when I licked her lips, she immediately opened her mouth to me. We played with each other’s tongue for a few seconds, when she eased her tongue in my mouth and I sucked on it, she melted against me. The kiss only lasted a minute or so, but we were both a little out of breath when we finally broke apart.
