Chapter 62

There was some rustling around during the night as Brandy and Judy exchanged places. Judy snuggled up to me and kissed my cheek and neck, holding me. I felt tears on my shoulder as she said, "I love you, Chuck, please keep us."

Tiani kissed my chest, and then I felt Brandy put her hand on my chest.

I woke up to find Frieda's face next to mine, smiling at me. She kissed me softly and snuggled into me. Nancy was behind her and my hand was holding her to us as my other hand was holding Brandy to us on the other side of Judy. Tiani had slid down until her head was on my stomach as she curled up between my legs. Brandy said to me, "I wish we had a picture of this. I just love the way we are all snuggled together, with you holding us to you."

Frieda said, "I don't know about you, but I need to use the bathroom. Do you mind if I get up?"

"Let's all get up. Come on, let's swim a little and get our circulation going." I said this as I began to slide up to sit. Little Tiani grabbed hold of my semi-firm handle and pulled, "Oh no, you don't, that's my pillow and my toy, they're mine."

With a laugh, I reached down and picked her up, holding her in the air, "Be good, little girl. Share your toys and your pillow."

We all got up and used the bathroom. I brushed my teeth, put on my peg, and joined the girls going out the patio door. I said to them, "Jump in, I'm going to start some coffee and be right with you.

We were beginning to swim laps when Marie and Dennis came down the stairs to join us. Dennis said, "I love this place in the morning. All these lush females showing us guys their beautiful bodies."

We were swimming some laps when Angie came out of the house, leading a bashful Jimmy. She said, "I talked him into coming home with me. I think he's too busy taking pictures with his eyes right now, but this is Jimmy, my new best friend and a, um, lover. I think it's safe to say lover."

Jimmy had a hand over his middle blushing. Angie pulled him toward the water, "Come on, that thing will go back down when you get in and start swimming. If not, I'll take you back to bed and figure out how to get it down."

Frieda asked, "Where's Jan, her car's home?"

Marie said, "We heard the two of them thrashing around in her room late last night and early this morning. I imagine they will sleep late."

Judy said, "I'm glad Chuck likes to get up early. Tiani, Nancy, and Brandy always want to sleep late. I like to get an early start. Hey, Brandy, is the offer your mother made for breakfast this morning still good?"

Brandy, a little out of breath, said, "I'm sure it is if we go early. You know she likes to leave for church by ten. I'll call to make sure. Chuck, do you want to go to church with mom and dad and the kids? Me too, and maybe the others."

"I'd love to, let's get dressed and go."

Frieda said, "We'll stay at your folks and clean up breakfast. You two go and anyone else who wants to go. Come on, girls, we all have to go get some clothes."

The five left while Angie and Jimmy were playing in the pool. Dennis and Marie said they were going out to the trailer park for breakfast and headed upstairs to get dressed.

The six of us crammed into the Impala and rode over to Brandy's. The same idyllic picture was there, with Brandy's mom and dad at the big table piled high with food, and her brother and sister eating at another table. The five girls gave the couple and the two kids hugs and kisses, then began loading food onto plates. About ten, Brandy's mom got up and said she was going to wash up to leave for church. Brandy's dad sat in the chair and tied his tie, stood up, and reached for his suit coat. I had been smart enough to bring a sport coat, so I went for it and came back to find Brandy with a big smile on her face. Tiani was dressed in a very nice pixie dress, since that's all she can wear, only pixie clothes. The other three girls were going to stay and clean up the dishes, so we left in the family's Chrysler mini-van, which easily held the extra three of us.

The church was a non-denominational church in Carolwood that had a great music program. The congregation was very vocal with every hymn, as they enjoyed singing the songs we all had grown up with. The pastor gave a good sermon, although in comparison, I thought the man out at the nature park was better. It was nice to go to services. I used to go to the Sunday services in Iraq all the time when I was in camp. It gave me a good feeling and I felt safer in the field. Perhaps this will make me less of a target.

After church, there was the usual handshaking and introductions to people you hoped you would remember. On the way home, Brandy said, "Thank you for going to church with us. Tiani and I needed that. We need to know you are protected by your faith. That's important to us."

Brandy's mom said, "Those two girls cried on my shoulder for two days. I tried to tell them that if anything was serious, they would hear it fast, but they wouldn't listen. Perhaps they will get used to you. I told them both they were being silly. If they are going to have and share a man like you, they are going to have to learn to live with what you do. She doesn't have to like it, but she and all of them have to learn to live with it."

I said, "You know, the Bureau and the Service have a psychologist on retainer for just such situations. Why don't I get you guys an appointment so you can talk out your fears. It's free and it comes as part of my job."

Tiani and Brandy looked at each other. Tiani asked, "All five of us? How are we going to explain all five of us?"

"You just tell her or him or them the real deal. If you guys are a set, go as a set. Just tell them you're a package deal." I shouldn't have laughed. The girls punched me.

After we got back to Brandy's folks' house, we said goodbye for the day and headed home. The girls said they had things to do at home. Brandy said she would probably come over later, or they possibly would all come over later.

I was thinking of taking a ride when Wanda came strolling out of the hallway naked. She asked, "Did your little girls come home last night?"

"They did. They slept with me and were all very untouchable."

"Wanna touch me? I've got the itches today. I wore John out last night after we went to the hot tub with Tiny, Ruth, Henry, Nancy, Kevin, and Susan. Those people know how to play. They are all so close, so loving. It was more playful than sex even. Henry and Susan, Steve's siblings didn't mess around with each other, but it was fun. You would love Ruth's big boobs and Nancy is one big girl. John really enjoyed Nancy."

"All that and you're still ready for more?"

"Like I said, my body wants more or maybe it's my mind. Come on, scratch my itch."

"You think it's safe to mess with them, then with me like that?"

Wanda said, "I think they only mess around with each other out there. You fooled around with Tom and Zena and them. You know Bobby had all of them with two legs that night, and you did too, so you decide what is safest. That's why we got those exams, if you remember."

"That's a sobering thought. What if I gave my girls something? I slept with Lisa too, and could have given her something. I think I'll get tested again."

"Meanwhile, Stud, I'm standing here stark naked with a drooling, drippy pussy, ready to be plugged. Please? I really need my fuck buddy."

I scooped Wanda up and hauled her to the bedroom where I thoroughly plugged her repeatedly, until she lay there limp, dripping with our juices. "Ah, now that's what I needed. So good. Everything else was just an appetizer."

We kissed and I got up, thinking a shower and a bike ride would be good. Wanda showered with me, but when I said I was headed out for a ride, she declined.

I rode to Jonah's for a beer among friends. I went in and saw Jonah and Millie happily teasing each other. I got a handshake from Jonah, a hug and kiss from Millie, and a beer from double D. I ended up having two beers and playing pool with some regulars. I was getting ready to leave, getting a hug from Millie, when she stiffened in my arms and said, "Oh God."

I turned and saw Bobby come in, with mammoth Rocky following her. He was dressed in jeans and a vest. No shirt with a do rag on his head, now sporting a fairly long mustache.

I told Millie, "keep them busy and I'll go out the back and leave. I don't want any trouble and they won't know I was here. Let me get."

As I slipped out the back door to circle around, I thought I heard Bobby calling my name. I had just backed my bike out and was about to start it when Bobby came running out the door with Rocky on her heels. Bobby said, "Chuck, stop, let me talk to you."

Rocky was yelling, "Leave that punk alone. I gave him a lot of money to stay out of my life, our life."

Bobby got in front of my bike straddling the front wheel. "Come on, Honey, you can talk to me, we should have talked a long time ago."

There was now a crowd outside the bar watching with Millie trying to talk Rocky into going back in. He said, "See, he's trying to make out with my ole' lady right in front of my face. I'll be damned."

Bobby looked at Rocky, "Shut up, I'm keeping him from going anywhere. Let me talk a minute."

"I'll let you talk to him a minute, while he's pushing up daisies." With that, Rocky swung at me, I ducked and the momentum of his swing overbalanced the monster sending him against the front of the bike pushing it over on my fake leg and causing Bobby to fall over as well.

People were immediately picking up Rocky, Bobby, me, and the bike. I scooted back noting my foot was twisted around. I loosened the straps quickly and got everything back where it should be while Rocky and Bobby were still brushing themselves off. I was back together and standing when Rocky said, "You fucking wimp, I still haven't hit you. I'm gonna pulverize you."

Bobby yelled, "Leave him alone. Come on, if you hurt him even a little we're both going to jail. Stop."

Millie and Bobby were trying to get Rocky back inside the bar so I reached for the key to start the bike and found it was broken off in the ignition. Jonah saw my frustration and came over to find out what the problem was.

"Shit, you want me to take you home? You can come get your bike later."

"Jonah, this isn't your or my fault or problem. I'll jump the bike, but I'm not running from some roid rage asshole. Just have the guys shield me a little so he won't get back over here."

One of the guys said, "I'll get you some needle nose pliers so you can turn the switch. That'll get you home."

He had just left when the monster pushed a bunch of big men out of the way and came out. He yelled, "Fight me, Bobby said you could take me any way I wanted to fight you. I don't think so, but I'll give you a chance. Too bad we don't have any TV cameras here. I could sell this. Rocky Mountain destroys punk Deputy Marshal."

He grabbed his crotch and said, "Come suck on this Deputy ex-Marine cripple."

I'd had enough, it was time to tease him a little, "That just about covers the extent of your tiny vocabulary, doesn't it? Do you think those steroid induced muscles are going to help you fight a real man? I heard all those steroids shrink your balls and dick, why don't you show the girls how big a man you are?"

I saw friendly faces, Hap and Bear were standing in the crowd. I motioned for Bear and said quietly so only he could hear, "Take my piece so it doesn't get used at the wrong time."

Bear was close to me so he reached around me, took the Glock, and slid it into his belt without anyone seeing him.

I was smiling, when Bear moved away, "Come on, Rocky Mountain, or are you more like Sandy Foothills?

There was a gasp from the crowd and I could hear Bobby say, "Oh no. Now Chuck's taunting him." She yelled, "Please, Chuck, don't hurt him, I'm sorry, Chuck, please don't hurt him."

"I'm waiting, Mr. Foothill."

The man's color changed from his tanning salon tan to a bright red. He charged and I stood as if to let him hit me. Rocky was suddenly launched over my head to roll on the blacktop and gravel. I stood in front of him smiling. He got up on his knees, finally stood and approached me more cautiously, trying to get me into one of the wrestling holds.

He lunged, grabbing my arm with his hand. I slid my hand up in his armpit grabbing his shoulder with my other hand and twisted, sending him over my fake leg tumbling to the ground, trying to catch himself.

"Have enough, Mr. Foothills, or do you want to hurt me some more."

"I'm gonna hit you at least one time and know how good it feels."

"I don't think so, Rocky. Please, go away, go home, take your little girlfriend and leave. I was here first and I haven't finished my beer yet."

He was standing and had a funny look on his face. He stuck out his hand to shake and said, "Okay, let's let bygones be bygones. Shake and let's be friends."

I made sure my foot was planted and stuck out my hand out knowing what was coming. I was grinning when our hands slid together and he yanked me forward toward a massive fist that was coming my way. I twisted and spun, bringing his arm around his back and swept his legs from under him. I was a little angry this time, and slammed him face first to the ground. Oh, that hurt. I couldn't see his face, but his nose was bleeding. He probably had a broken nose.

I was kneeling on Rocky's back with his arm behind him when a county cop car came sliding up. Oh shit.

"What's going on here?"

Pulling Rocky to his feet, I said, "Rocky and I were demonstrating a few wrestling moves to show people how a smaller guy takes care of himself in the ring. Rocky landed wrong. Hey, Bobby, bring a towel and clean him up."

Denise came out and said, "I seen it all, if someone makes a stink, I'll tell it like it is."

I told her, "There's no problem, Denise. I told the officer Rocky and I were just showing these guys some wrestling moves."

The county guy knew me and said, "You carrying?"

I turned and showed him my empty holster. He looked around and motioned Jonah over, "I know there is a restraining order for your sister-in-law and for this Rocky guy. Get them out of here, probably all three of them. Chuck, here, could cause him some grief. I'm leaving, but get them out of here. If Denise has to call me again, there will be trouble."

Jonah looked at me and said, "Thanks Chuck, come back another time and drink free. I think you knocked him out when you slammed him down so hard. I don't know how you did it, but the man can't touch you."

Bobby was guiding the woozy Rocky out toward a Cadillac convertible to the laughter of the bikers standing around. One said, "Keep him in the ring, away from here. He ain't welcome. Tell him to pick on a bigger guy, it would be easier." One of the women hollered, "Tell him to keep his shrunken needle dick at home."

Millie was standing in the doorway, shaking her head. She motioned to me and handed me a cold beer. "Drink up, you're the new hero now. The little one-legged guy who took out Rocky Mountain at our bar. You were a least nice about it and didn't hurt him bad."

Bear came up behind me and I felt my Glock slide into the holster. He said, "Semper fi."

With an "Ooorah," I drained the rest of my beer and said to all, "Thanks for staying out of the stupidity and thanks for getting me off the ground. I think I'll use that guy's needle nose pliers now and head home." I noticed the bike key fob had two more keys on it that looked alike, so I pulled the stub of the original key from the lock and put another in and turned. "Yeah, a couple of spares."

I gave the pliers back and started the bike. With a wave, I rode home, wondering what else could happen this weekend.

At home, I had just pulled the bike into the garage when Frieda, Judy, and Brandy came over. Frieda looked at me and said, "Double D must have been blowing smoke up our butts. You haven't been in any fight."

Brandy was looking at the bike and traced her fingers over a couple of scratches. Judy picked up my hand and looked at the knuckles saying, "Not even a scratch."

Brandy asked, "What happened to your bike, how did it get scratched?"

I put my hands up and said, "It's not important. There really wasn't a fight. A guy was trying to be a big man and made a fool of himself, the end."

Frieda said, "Denise said Rocky Mountain and Bobby were there and he attacked you when you tried to leave. She also said after you slammed him into the ground and bloodied his nose, you told a county mountie you two were demonstrating wrestling holds. How corny is that?"

Brandy was shaking her head. "I guess I shouldn't be worried about you if you can terrorize the biggest wrestler there is and live to say it was nothing. You know this story will spread until someone will be asking you about it."
