Chapter 30

“I will loan her to you anytime we are in the area. As long as she doesn’t have prior commitments. Is that good enough for you” I told Steve.

“That’s a deal sir I will look forward to it” he said as my wife squealed.

I dropped the steaks on the grill as everyone was talking. We all seemed to have solved various problems and accepted Tim and were getting along. I looked over at the other table where Steve and my wife sitting and laughing with occasional kisses.

Carol and Carl had walked off to the other tree and were standing there talking and kissing at times

Tim was sitting on the other side of the table where I was cooking looking at his phone before he got up and walked up next to me and showed me his phone.

It had pictures of Carol and others of us checked.

“I was a jerk” he said and then continued

“I was sitting there looking at the pictures and realized I didn’t have permission to take them. I am going to delete the ones marked, No actually I picked them and I want you to delete them” as he looked at me.

I looked at him for an second and called Carol to come over.

When she got to me I told Tim to say it to her.

He looked at her before saying

“I was a jerk and I know it now. I got pictures that I shouldn’t have and I want them deleted. Will you do it for me”

Carol reached out and took his phone. Looked at it for a moment and hit the delete button. She then looked at his phone and messed with it for a few moments and hit a few more buttons.

She handed the phone back to him saying

“I did delete them and then I emptied your trash folders. Sorry if you lost things in them but I know you can’t bring the pictures back this way.

Thank you for being honest” as she hugged him and returned to Carl.

Tim looked at me.

“You have some good friends”

“Yeah. I do and we always make more good friends” I said as I went back to cooking dinner...

A few minutes later I hollered at everyone.

“Steaks are medium well except for Marie’s. I got to burn the cow for her” to which Steve replied

“Yuck burned cow not good.”

“Well you’re my bull and I will take you raw and bare” she said and laughed while Steve turned red again.

“Steve that color red looks good on you” Carl said laughing.

We all sat down and started to eat and just have a good time and it was refreshing to do that.

After we got done we cleaned up and put away the grill and sat at one of the tables together.

I looked around and finally spoke up.

“So anyone know what the sleeping arrangements are going to be.”

My wife immediately spoke up saying.

“I get Steve in our truck” if you want you can still use the upper bunk but we might be noisy. Just warning you”

Carl looked at Carol and said

“Ma’am. If you will let me. I would love to spend the night with you” and she said yes and hugged him.

I looked at Tim and said.

“I’ll stay up with you for a while and we can talk about things.”

Carl spoke up then

“No funny business you two” as he winked at me and laughed.

Carol looked around and said

“Only thing missing here is a fire pit”

Which was greeted with lots of yeah’s Tim said

“When you come back we will have built one for us to use:

We all sat a bit longer sharing small talk and telling jokes and finally Carol stood up and pulled Carl to his feet

“Come on stud. You got a job to do” she said as they walked to her truck and got in shutting the door.

My wife stood up and came to me and hugged me and kissed me a few times before whispering

“Be good, have fun and have a nice night” to which I replied

“No you have fun, I know you both will” as she drug Steve to his feet and headed to our truck.

I got up and followed her and after she got in I asked for my shorts which she threw at me and hollered

“Can’t a woman get fucked in peace around here “ and she shut the door and I heard Steve laughing inside

I pulled on my shorts and walked back to Tim and sat down across from him.
