The Business Inn

The Business Inn

By Nutmegman

My name is Abraham Snow. I'm 28 years old and own my own little company designing specialty tools for larger companies. Tools that meet very specific criteria. The company is successful and, has a handful of employees besides myself.

I have a new contract for a business in Plymouth Massachusetts and am now hand delivering products once a week for the next few months. I'm out of town for 3 days each week usually. One day is driving and relaxing, one is spent at my client and the third is either at my client or driving back to Western Mass.

"Hi, I would like to check in please."

"Welcome to the Business Inn. My name is Molly."

"Hi Molly, my name is Abraham Snow, but please call me Abe."

"Hi Abe"

"Is this your first time here and can I answer any questions?"

"Yes, first time and I would like to reserve Monday through Wednesday for the next 8 weeks. Would that be possible?"

"Sure thing Abe. Please give me a few minutes to look up the dates and have them reserved for you."

10 minutes later. " You're all set, here is a list of the dates, as you use them, the current date gets removed from the top, as you check in each time, this will be printed for you."

"Thank you very much Molly."

"You are welcome Abe. Here is your key card, your room, a map of the area with places to eat, stores, things to do and see and more. My phone number in case you need help with anything. You can also see the same thing in our app. I hope you enjoy your stay here."

"With a welcome like that, how could I not. Thank you very much."

I took everything and went up to the top floor and found my room, unpacked, relaxed. I didn't need to be at my client until 9 am tomorrow and had lots of time.

Thinking that desk girl Molly was cute. I'm going to go talk to her. I hope she is still on shift.

"Hi Molly"

"Hi Mr Abe,"

"Just Abe, no mister please."

"Certainly Abe."

"Can you talk? Am I bothering you or keeping you from work? Please tell me if I am?"

"No, no bother at all. I'm just getting ready to get off shift. I work from 6 am to 2 pm for 8 hours 5 days a week."

"40 hours, a dedicated employee."

"Often I fill in for others and work much more as needed. Which is often. I think I'm the only one who never calls out unless I am sick, which is rare."

"Did you go to school for Hospitality or someone like that?"

"I went to UMASS Amherst and have a degree in marketing. I have worked for 2 non profit companies in the past. They were good jobs, but the companies got bought out by larger companies and incorporated into those larger companies. Then I got downsized. So I have been working here for the past half year."

"Does this test your brain power or is it just a filler job?"

"Just a filler while I search for something better or find something I like that pays better. It's really not that bad, I actually like it and have made suggestions that the company has adopted. Like what I told you about the area. That was my idea."

"That's a great idea. For those that are from out of town, it's invaluable. Especially for me since I won't be working all the time and have some free time."

"Are you from the area?"

"Yes, from here, but I'm not living with my parents, thankfully, I'm on my own."

"When you get off shift, can I interest you in giving me a driving tour of the town and nearby area?"

"I don't know Abe."

"I understand," I said disappointingly. " Here is my card, look up my company, my linked In, my Facebook, etc. You will see who I am and maybe free up those restrictions about giving a new visitor, a town tour. I'll be up in my room. Oh, I drive an Acura MDX, too, by the way. It's blue and parked right across the entrance. The license plate says TOOLS. You wouldn't be riding in a junk. I'd really enjoy your company."

"I'll consider it Abe."

"That's all I can ask Molly, thank you. Text or call me at the number on the card. I'll be back in my room for now. I guess you have about 30 minutes before your shift ends. I'll pay you too if you would like."

25 minutes later my phone rang. "Hi, this is Abe Snow."

"Hi Abe, this is Molly and I would like to take you up on your request."

"That's great Molly. I'll come down in 10 minutes. Let me change into something more casual."

"See you in 10"

I changed into jeans, sneaks, and a polo shirt. I brought a sweater since it was only April and the weather could change in a blink.

"Hi Molly"

Well, you dress down nicely Abe. I'm almost done and will change out of my work uniform. I'll meet you here. Just a few minutes."

A few minutes later, she came out in tight jeans, a white button down shirt and was carrying a sweater. She looked nice and I told her so. "You look very nice Molly"

I held out my hand, "I'm Abe. "

Shaking it, she says "I'm Molly, nice to meet you Abe."

"Come on, let's go tour the area. "I put my hand on her back and we moved forward."

" Nice SUV Abe. I love the brown with blue piping interior. Very sporty looking."

I held the door open for her and then entered on the driver's side and started the car up.

"Where to?" I said.

"Turn right here to get on the main drag." She said,

"So tell me, how did you like ZOO MASS?"

"It was fun, I got good grades and stayed away from the drinking and trouble making. I wanted good grades for my future."

"What years were you there?"

"2015 to 2019". She said,

"Me too" I replied " except I was at the Eisenberg school of business. Lots of students, I never saw you. Unfortunately."

"So you're 27-28 years old?" She asked.

*Yes. 28 last month."

"I turn 28 in a few months."she said

"This is the Plymouth waterfront, it's really best enjoyed on foot. If you want to park, we'll walk."

"Sure, let's find a parking spot."

"There's one now. Can you get in there?"

"I think so. Hang on." A little maneuvering and I was parked. " Which way?"

"Let's go this way first?" She said

We walked beside each other and she told me about Plymouth, the Mayflower, and some things I did not know.

"Do you do this personal tour service for others too?"

"No, you are the first. I have been asked, by sketchy old men, I don't trust. At least I haven't found one yet that I would trust."

So I'm different, I thought.

We went into shops, a candy store, and did a wine tasting.

"This is Plymouth Rock. Probably the most unimpressive tourist thing in the country."

"It is very unimpressive." We both got a little laugh at that. "It's getting close to dinner time. Will you let me buy you dinner?"

"Well, uhm."

"Listen, no strings attached. I would enjoy your company at dinner. I am enjoying our conversations."

"I have to admit, I am too. Yes, I'll join you Abe. Seafood?"

"Of course. I saw a place tucked in the back along the water, let's go check it out."

We had a delicious meal and great conversation. I've had dates that didn't go as well.

"Can we walk along the waterfront and watch the sun set, even though we're facing the wrong way. Will you join me?"

"Certainly." We found a bench and sat next to each other. Still talking about UMass and things that go on there."

"Do you want to stay in this area or are you willing to relocate?"

" I think I'm willing to relocate, but I want to stay in New England." She said,

We watched the sun go down and the harbor darken. I got up and held out my hand. She took it and I gently pulled her up. "I guess we should get going."

" I guess so." She sounded as sad as I felt. It was a good afternoon.

"Would you like to get together after your shift ends tomorrow?" I asked. "Maybe walk around other parts of town?"

She was looking at me, "I would like that very much."

"I'm not 100% certain when I'll be back, but please wait for me. Here is my cell." Showing her my phone, "May I have your number too? Here is my phone, you can make the entry. So I can inform you if I'm running late or my status."

"OK Abe. Thank you for inviting me."

I parked at the hotel and watched her get out and open her car and drive away. I was happy I made a friend out here.

I got up early, had a quick breakfast and on my way to my client and arrived at 7 am.

My client was thrilled with the product and gave me another very large order. Much larger than I even hoped for. I relayed it to my shop and was on my way back to the hotel. I texted Molly "letting you know if be there around 2:30 pm and needed to change. Is 3pm OK?"

"Sure Abe, I'm looking forward to spending more time with you. I'll wait, no worries."

I got in, took a quick shower, changed into jeans, a thermal, a nice flannel shirt and a sweater since it was chilly today. I walked down at exactly 3 pm and looked around for her.

The person at the desk said she left. Left, bummer. Big disappointment.

I texted "Hi, I'm downstairs by the front desk. Are you still here? The person at the desk said you left."

"That jerk. I keep refusing his advances. I asked him to tell you I would be right out. I'm so sorry for the misinformation. I am looking forward to spending more time with you. Don't go anywhere."

She came out in nice jeans and a sweater the same color as mine. We got a chuckle out of that." Abe, go outside for a minute please. "I saw her give the desk person a few choice comments and then come out. " What a jerk. He just reinforced why I won't go out with him. I have an idea of where to go, but it's a little chilly today, so I'm rethinking that."

I opened her door, let her go in and closed the door and got on my side.

"Abe, why do you open my car door for me? No one has ever done that for me, except when I broke my arm years ago."

"It's the right thing to do. Plus I believe in chivalry vs today's selfish attitudes among too many people my age and younger."

"I like it. I like it a lot." She said, smiling at me. I flashed her a smile and drove out.

"Where to?"

She directed me to a beach. We got out and walked down the beach.

"Molly, do you have many friends out here?"

"I don't really. I know a few people, but nobody to talk with, which is why I am here with you. Having a real conversation, something I miss a lot. Sorry, not trying to be a burden."

We stopped at a bench and sat, looking out at the ocean, sitting side by side, touching. We continued talking and I saw her shiver.

I didn't even think about it, I took off my sweater and draped it around her. "No, Abe. You'll be cold."

"See, I have a flannel shirt with a thermal under it. I don't want you to be cold." I placed it over her head and helped her into it.

"Warmer, thank you." She was looking at me, I turned away, blushing slightly.

"How cold do you think the water is?"

"Too cold, probably in the 40's or 50's. Too cold to dip your toes in. Unless you like the cold."

"Nah, just curious. I'll wait for much warmer weather before doing that. Are you warmer now Molly?"

She got up, stood in front of me, held her hands out. I gave her mine. "Come on Abe, let's walk some more." As she pulled me up but kept hold of one hand. My heart was beating faster.

I interlocked my fingers with hers and we walked further down the beach. Clouds were coming in, the wind was picking up. "I think we need to get back to the car before the rain starts," I said. "Would you be interested in warming up in the hotel hot tub?"

It started raining just as we got in. I opened the door for her again, even though I got a little wet.

She looked at me, held out her hand and I placed mine in hers. Smiling at her, she at me. As I drove off.

"Yes, I'll direct you to my apartment so I can get my bathing suit."

"Just tell me where to go"

A few minutes away, I parked and waited. Leaving the car running and the heat on a little. She came out with a little duffle, still wearing my sweater and looking great in it.

"So... hot tub then dinner? Or early dinner then hot tub? Are you hungry?"

"Hot tub, then dinner, my turn to treat."

"Hot tub it is. It's going to feel good after this crummy weather."

We arrived back, went to my room and I changed into my suit, sandals and t-shirt. "Are you wearing your suit or do you need to change?"

"I need to change, but I like wearing your sweater, it smells nice and is warm." She went in and changed and came out in sweats and a large T and sandals.

"Leave you stuff here. It's safe." I took her hand and we went down, staying away from the front desk.

Entering the pool room and starting the jets. I got in. "Are you joining me?"

"Turn around, I'll be right there."

I turned around and sat. The water felt wonderful. I heard splashing and felt her enter and sit across from me.

We chatted about where we grew up, what the neighborhoods were like. We both were working towards sitting next to each other.

Hands found each other, again interlocking fingers. Just sitting there enjoying each other's company and the warmth of the water.

After 20 minutes, I got up and restarted the jets and rejoined her. We were shoulder to shoulder, leg to leg, hands held.

Her hair was plastered to her face. She looked cute.

"What?" She asked.

"You look cute with your hair stuck to your face," I said smiling. " Your cheeks are red."

She covered her face with her other hand.

"Are you getting hungry Molly?"

"Yes, what are you in the mood for, food wise?"

"Hmm, burgers and fries?"

"Red Robin?" We both said together. Laughing.

"Is there one near here?" I asked.

"Yes, there is. Let's go shower and go. Uhm, each shower separate, that is" she said.

We got up, dried off, and returned to my room. I let her shower first. When I got out she asked "would it be OK if I kept your sweater on over mine? It feels so warm and cozy and smells nice."

"Yes, that would be fine. Let's go eat."

She directed me to the restaurant and we shared fries and enjoyed dinner.

Walking out to the car, I went to open her door, but lifted her chin, leaned in and kissed her. Heart pumping, feeling like it was time.

Soft lips, went in for another kiss. So good. Pulling back as it started to rain again. Opened her door and closed it behind her. Ran to my side and got in just as the down pour started.

We sat and watched a torrential rain go by.

"I have to leave tomorrow. But I will return next Monday again. Can I see you again next week? After you get out of work? Or if you get a new job, can I see you again?" I asked.

"I want to know when you get home safely. I want to talk and text you while you are gone. I will be here for you when you return. I'm going to be sad that you are leaving, but can't wait until you return. So, I better see you again." She said.

I reached for her hand and held out tight. It finally stopped raining and I started my car.

Once back at the hotel parking lot "do you have your duffle or is it still in my room?"

"It's in the back seat. Thank you for a wonderful day Abe. I'm going to miss you."

We sat in the car waiting for the rain to stop or slow down. I didn't want her to go."Would you like to come up?" I asked her, knowing if she did, she wouldn't leave. I think she knew that too.

" Not yet, but soon."

I got out, opened her door and gave her a hug and kissed her again. I reached in back and handed her the duffle.

"I'm going to wear your sweater and feel like you're with me. I miss you already."

Crack of thunder and it started pouring again.

"See you next week Molly." Shutting her door and watching her drive off. I went in for the rest of the night.

I packed, checked out, went to my client for a few hours and then went home. I was already missing Molly.

It rained the whole trip home. Between everything I was tired. I sat on the couch and texted Molly.

"Hi Molly, I am home now. Tired but safe and missing you. It rained the whole way home, and that to being at my client earlier, and I'm tired. Probably going to take a nap. I wish you were here."

She texted back "glad you made it home safe. Take a nap and relax. I can't wait to see you next week."

I closed my eyes for a while and awoke in a dark house. I got up and went to bed to sleep more.

The next day arrived and I put everything into my work for the next few days.

Finally, I will return tomorrow. I texted Molly "I can't wait to see you tomorrow."

"Me too for you. Except, I tested positive for COVID this morning. I'll see you next week. I'm missing you terribly. Stuck home alone."

" Oh no. I can bring some n95 masks and gloves and stop by."

" Abe, I'd love that, but I don't want you to take any chances of getting sick. Another week. It hurts to say that."

"Oh wait. It'll be 3 weeks before I see you next. The next two weeks will be at a trade show in Vegas. I won't see you until mid May. Will you even remember me?"

"Abe, oh, already missing you. Darn COVID.'

" Do you have any vacation time? Can you come with me?"

" I haven't been there a year yet, so no vacation time yet."

" How about time off without pay?"

" I can't afford to do that."

" What if I pay you your 2 weeks pay and pay you on the trip? I could even get you your own room, if you wanted."

" I'll inquire, but I bet I won't have a job when I can't come back. It's a no win situation Abe. I'm stuck."

" I guess so. It's going to be a long 3 weeks without being able to hold your hand and talk to you in person.

" OK, let's fast forward 3 weeks. Do you have a bicycle and do you ride?"

"Yes, it's one of my favorite things to do. Great exercise, the wind in your hair, I love biking."

"So if the weather looks good, I'll bring my bike and we will go riding? How does that sound?"

"It sounds great! It's always more enjoyable with a friend.... With someone special. I can't wait."

" How are you feeling, really, with COVID?"

" I feel pretty good. Just like I have a mild cold. I" sniff, sniff " I want to see you. I'm so sorry I'm going to miss you Abe. I was so looking forward to spending time with you."

" Hey, do you like music?"

" Yes, of course."

" Do you subscribe to a service?"

" No, I can't afford it right now. "

" I'll fix that. Download the MusicFest app and create an account for free. Then text me here with your user name. Do it now. I'll wait.'

"OK, I got it and installed it. BRB, let me make an account."

Two minutes later, OK here is my user..... Do you have it?"

" Yes, I'll BRB."

" I just gave you a one year subscription. Do you see it? "

" Yes. I will pay you back! "

" Consider it a get well gift from me. I just made and shared a playlist called "Molly and Abe". You can add songs that you want me to listen to that I may like or you like that you want to share. I will do the same.

It's fun and a way to talk without talking. "

Plus you can listen to anything you want and make your own playlists. When I travel alone or am alone, I listen a lot.

It will allow me to learn more about you through music and vice versa."

"It sounds like fun. Thank you. I hope these weeks go by quickly. I miss you Abe."

"I miss you Molly."

"I'm falling asleep, I'll chat with you tomorrow. Sleep tight."

"Sleep tight." Thinking I wish I was there to make you feel better.

The next 3 weeks went by so slowly. Molly and I texted nearly non stop when I was free. She recovered from COVID and felt good. She worked extra shifts to make the time go faster and earn bonus points with her employer. My trade show was enjoyable. I didn't go anywhere else except out for food. I stayed in my room listening to music she posted and watching TV. I couldn't wait to see her again.

Finally, mid May arrived. "Molly, I checked with the hotel and made a reservation for Friday afternoon through Wednesday. I know you have to work, but I want to spend your non-working time with you. I'm coming out in 2 days." I texted "I can't wait to see you."

"That's great Abe. I'm so excited. Hmm. How to express that in music.... The Pointer Sisters."I'm so excited". I'm listening to it now and added it to our play list."

" I'm bringing my bike too. The weather looks to be spectacular."

Friday arrived and I was super excited. " I'm just leaving my house Molly. I shared my position in Google Maps. You can track my position. See you in two hours if the traffic gods are with me. I hope you have the afternoon off.'

"I do. Drive safe. See you soon. XOXO."

Holiday traffic, construction and stupid drivers turned the trip into a four hour slog. But I finally arrived.

Walking in and seeing a line of people with me at the end. Ugh, more waiting.

Finally, they all checked in and it was just me. I looked at her "Abe Snow to finally check in "

"How long will you be with us Mr. Snow?"

"From now to Wednesday."

"A work or pleasure trip?"

"A little work and a lot of pleasure."

Her eyes were tearing. We could only play the game so long. She went running around the corner and jumped into my arms. I held her tight. Both of us said "I missed you so much." The giant hug saying it all.

Then, of course, more people walked in. We released each other and she went around to check people in.

"I'm going up to my room. Come up when you are done."

She nodded, smiled and went back to the people checking in.

Hopefully she'll be up in around 30 minutes. I found my room, put my clothes away. Sat and wait.

Knock knock. I opened it and she jumped into my arms again. Closing the door, backing up I held her so tight. It had been a long, long few weeks.

I put her on the desk, put my hands on her face and kissed her. I missed those lips. She was crying.

"Hey, hey. Tears of happiness. I missed you so much" I took her hand and placed her palm on my chest and held it there. Looking deep into her eyes. Hugging her again. Holding her tight.

Finally our breathing returned to normal. I wiped her tears away and gave her my handkerchief to blow her nose.

"I made it all gross now." She said,

"Hold onto that one, I always have a spare." Reaching into my pocket to pull the spare out.

"You think of everything." She said and blew her nose again.

I hit a button on my phone and music filled the room. We just hugged each other and swayed to the music, with an occasional kiss. It just felt so right.

After a while," what do you want to do miss Molly? Maybe walk along the waterfront and watch the boats in the harbor?"

"Sounds perfect Abe. Let's go."

We hopped into my car and she directed me. We found a parking spot and walked along the waterfront. Finding a bench. Our hands tightly interwoven together.

"It's beautiful. You're beautiful. I missed you so much." I said to her barely keeping myself from losing it.

She let go of my hand and hugged me tight. "I missed you so much. I know I keep saying that, but it's so good to have you here. I didn't want to let go. The weeks since I saw you last felt like forever. And now you're here!" She said while sniffing again.

"Hey, you can't cry again, or you'll have me doing the same. I'm barely keeping it in check here. As she started again.

I was kissing her face, licking up the tears. Kissing her with want now. Tongue exploring tongue, lips, head to head, breathing hard. I thought my heart was going to explode.

"Your heart is beating so fast Abe."

"You do that to me Molly. Oh, I completely forgot to mention. If you are interested, a friend runs a big non profit and is in need of help. She's willing to give you an interview if you want. All I have to do is call her and get to her for an interview."

"Yes! Where? What is it? Oh my god, this is incredible." She kissed me hard and hugged me tightly again.

"My friend Shannon runs the Bully Project. It's in the Springfield area. I'm really not sure which town exactly. But I think Springfield. It's an incredible project. Have you ever heard of it?"

" Everyone in New England has heard of it. It's a huge undertaking. And so good. Oh my god. Thank you Abe."

"Don't thank me yet, you have to pass the interview. I know she and Sam are home this holiday weekend. If I can track her down, would you be interested in doing the interview tomorrow? I'll drive you back for the day. What do you say? Call in sick or whenever. Or we could drive back now, do the interview tonight and have you back here in the morning. Or something like that."

" Yes, yes."

" OK, let me make a call."

" Hi Shannon, it's Abe and I'm here with Molly." I put her on speaker.

"Hi Abe and Molly. When do you want to do the interview?"

" Hi Shannon, as soon as Abe can get me there."

" How about if I meet you both at the Uno's Pizzeria in Auburn?"

" Shannon, that would be great and save an extra hour of our drive."

" Let's see, it's 3 pm now, how about 5 pm?"

" Wait, I have to change, I'm in shorts."

" No, no, I want to see the real you Molly."

" We're leaving now Shannon, we will be there no matter what. I'll share my location so you can see our progress. And Shannon, thank you."

Molly was up and jumping up and down and into my arms again before I even got my phone in my pocket.

" Abe, Abe, thank you. Let's go!" Grabbing my hand and pulling me to the car.

We drove off, she had a tight grip on my hand. I started up travel tunes and got the stereo cranked. Driving the side roads to the highway. The windows down singing loudly. Joy in the car.

On the highway, I let the Acura run. It loved to go fast. Or at least as fast as the traffic would allow.

We made a surprisingly good time to Uno's in Auburn. Beating Shannon and Sam by minutes.

I introduced everyone. Molly was beaming. "It's that your Porsche? It's purple!" She asked my purple haired friend.

We walked in. "Two tables please," Shannon said.

She and Molly got one and Sam and I the other. I saw them talking animatedly.

"You look a bit tired Abe."

"I got to Plymouth after a four hour ride, was there for 90 minutes, turned around and came here and then will go back after this. " I told Sam. "I haven't seen Molly for weeks until today. I'm scheduled at her hotel until Wednesday. But maybe if she gets the job, she can quit her job at the hotel and I'll bring her back with me."

"How long have you been together? You and I haven't talked in too long."

"I know, I'm still working in the business, I can't not work it seems. Thank you again for allowing me to branch it off. It's really taken off and doing well. I'm forever grateful."

"As you know, friends help friends. We're always there for one another."

"I know.... I met Molly about a month ago. We spent parts of two amazing days together. I scheduled 8 trips out to Plymouth to bring parts to a new client and got an even larger order doing so. But Molly and I hit it off. Then she got COVID and I was at a trade show in Vegas for 2 weeks. Today is the first time I've seen her in a long time."

Sam looked at me. " Have you guys, uhm, you know?"

"Not yet. Just letting things see how they go. But I like her a lot. A real real lot. We talked and texted during our time apart at nearly every non-working waking moment. I missed her terribly. "

"I know Shannon will hire her. I'm watching her and if Molly wasn't right, the interview would be over by now.

Where will she live if she comes out here? Especially if your guys haven't, uh, you know?"

"We are too close. She'll stay at my house. Hopefully to never move out." I said.

"Here they come now." Sam said.

We stood up. Molly came bouncing over to me and jumped into my arms."I got the job!" She said excitedly. "I got the job! Thank you for getting me this opportunity Abe!" Squeezing me tighter.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving. Please stay and eat with us." I said.

"We're not going anywhere without having dinner with you." Shannon said, "Abe you look really tired. Are you feeling OK?"

"I am pretty tired, the traffic did a number on me. Either we'll get a few rooms here or Molly will have to drive back. Or the caffeinated beverages I'm about to drink will perk me up."

Molly said "One room is fine, let's see if we can get a hotel room nearby. You do look exhausted."

Sam said " let me make a quick call. Shannon, please order me a personal sized pepperoni and a beer. I'll be right back."

He returned minutes later. "You have a room at the Marriott. The last one left. I just texted you the address."

"Thank you Sam. I do feel really tired." We ordered, Shannon and Molly running the conversation, talking about where they grew up, what they like to do, etc. Sam and I smiled, drank beer and listened. Happy that our girls were so happy.

Sam said "When you get back, text me and the we will all get together. I'd really like that. You look really tired Abe. I'm glad you're staying in a hotel nearby, otherwise I'd be concerned even more."

"In anticipation of seeing Molly, I didn't sleep well the few days prior to seeing her. Now that she's beside me, my body is relaxing and crashing."

The food arrived and was delicious. I switched from beer to mountain dew. Molly was glued to my side.

We walked out to the parking lot together and everyone hugged everyone else.

Shannon whispered in my ear "Thank you Abe, she's going to be perfect. You go get some sleep now and don't let her go again. She's a keeper."

I kissed her cheek and said thank you and good bye.

Molly took my hand. I gave her the keys. "Are you OK with one room? I'm beat, barely awake on my feet. I didn't sleep well for a few days, as I was so excited to see you. Then the crazy traffic. Having you here next to me, my body is finally relaxing. "

I opened her door, showed her how to adjust the seat. I got to the other side. " Are you sure you want me to drive? Remember, I drive this little egg car. This is like a limo by comparison. "

"If I didn't trust you completely, you wouldn't be in the driver's seat right now. Now, start it up and I'll give you the turn by turn. It's only 5 minutes away."

We arrived, found parking, checked in. Sam had paid for the room. We had no baggage as this was unplanned. Arriving at the room at the top. It was the wedding suite.

Walking in "Holy Shit. Look at this room!" I exclaimed.

Molly was in awe too.

I was totally exhausted. I took Molly in my arms "I am so tired, please don't be offended by me falling right to sleep."

"Of course, boyfriend. I'm not letting go of you."

I went and used the bathroom and washed up. Molly went next. I took off my clothes down to my boxer briefs and crawled into bed. Molly was watching me. Suddenly apprehensive about taking her clothes off.

She closed the lights. I closed my eyes for a minute. The next thing I knew, the sun was streaming in the room and it was 5 am. I went and peed and climbed back into bed. Molly was snuggled in next to me. Peeking under the sheets, she was in my t-shirt and her panties.

I spooned her, with one arm under her neck and the other on her belly, pulling her closer. Her hair smelled like honeysuckle. I closed my eyes and was gone again.

I woke up and looked at my watch. It was nearly 10 am. I slept for more than 12 hours.

I woke up completely when I realized I didn't get her to work at 6 am.

Completely forgetting she got the new job. "I'm so sorry, I promised I'd get you to work at 6 am."

She placed her hand on my cheek. "Abe, no worries. I called in last night and told them I had an emergency and would not be in today. Simple as that. No worries."

She leaned in for a kiss. Pulling my head closer to hers. I pulled her closer to me. Kissing harder, lips locking together, tongues exploring, touching.

I reached down to her firm butt and pulled her even closer. Desire exploding, I wanted her so badly.

My hand running up her back under her shirt. Around to her front, grabbing a boob and touching, squeezing, massaging. Stiff with excitement, rubbing her nipple. Pushing her onto her back, pulling the t up and leaning down to lick and suck. Tongue on her nipple, reaching for the other breast. They feel so good in my hands.

Leaning up to kiss her again. Then down on her breast again. Kissing trails to her belly button, tongue in making her giggle and wiggle.

Sliding down kissing the inside of her thighs. So soft and smooth. Kissing the other leg. Reaching up and pulling her panties down and off.

Returning to her thighs, kissing and licking to her pussy. I wanted her to feel good, feel wanted by me.

Licking up, tasting her for the first time. She opened her legs wider. My hands on her butt, pulling her closer. My tongue going to work. Licking and flicking, long lick, sucking in her clit.

She grabbed my hair and pulled me in even more. Her legs pushing up and "Ahhhh." She uttered, trying to not make to much noise.

Back to work I went, inserting 2 fingers, licking her clit, another "Ahhh", much louder this time.

Curving my fingers up, licking more, sucking in her clit and gently nibbling it with my teeth.

A very loud "Ahhh, oh" and her legs clamped my head as she rode this one out. It lasted much longer.

I slid back, dropped my boxers, lifted her legs and slowly slid in. Her lips were puffy, inside soaking wet and steaming hot.

Pushing in, all the way in, suddenly remembering she wasn't on the pill, from a prior conversation.

"I'm on the pill, I started it after our first weekend together." She said knowing what I was thinking.

I started slow but soon was pulling out and pushing all the way in, pushing hard. Face sweaty, trying to hold back.

"Don't hold back, cum in me Abe, let me feel you cum. Cum now!"

One last push, deep as I could go. I was cumming. Still pushing in more, cumming and cumming until final done.

Looking at her, smiling up at me. Me grinning back. Slowly shrinking. I pulled out, put her legs down and climbed back into bed. She came up too.

We both had each other's faces in our hands and were kissing. Gentle now. Pulling each other's nude and sweaty body closer. Looking into each other's eyes.

"I know" she said. Holding me close and closing her eyes. We feel asleep again.

I awoke, it was noon. I realized I was hungry. Molly was curled against me. Thinking, I can't imagine her ever leaving, not being without her ever again.

"Molly, Molly, we should get up."

"Mmmm, nice where I am. Don't want to get up." She said pulling me in closer.

I kissed her forehead. " We have to get up sweetheart."

She kissed me. I kissed her back. I was awake for round two. Rolling on top of her, I rubbed at her entrance, sliding in from left over moisture. Arms beside her and holding me up to looking at her as I slid all the way in.

Pulling out, pushing in. A faster rhythm, faster yet. I could see it in her eyes, her face. She bit her lips, boobs moving up and down, me pushing in harder. Her legs wrapped around me pulling me in tight. I was cumming again. I think she did too as her legs had a death grip on my back and noises came from her mouth.

Lowering myself to her, kissing her. Pulling her closer, not ever wanting to let go.

Finally relaxing on our sides.

"Shower?" I said

We both started giggling hysterically.

"Yes." She said,

" Together?"

" Of course!"

I pulled out of her. Taking her hand, pulling her up, leading her to the shower.

Exploring her body, washing, touching, kissing. Rinsing. Drying each other off.

Looking for her panties. They were wet. I sniffed them and she watched me get hard again.

"Too wet to put on." I said. "Commando?" Eyebrows up, looking at her.

She stepped closer. "I will, if you will?"

I picked up my boxers and put both my boxers and her panties in a laundry bag, going into the room. I pulled on my shorts and shirt. Putting my t-shirt with the laundry.

She found her shorts and shirt and did the same.

I met her in the middle for another hug and kiss. My stomach growled loudly. We found my socks and sneaks as she did and we finished getting dressed.

I left a $100 bill as a tip with a note of thanks.

We went downstairs to check out. The same person was back on the desk. I pulled out my credit card to pay for the extra day. But he waved me off saying it was paid for by Sam. Somehow he knew.

We stopped at a burger place, had lunch and took off for Plymouth.

"How much ordinary stuff is in your apartment?" I asked her.

"Not much. When I was forced to downsize, due to less pay, I sold most of it off. I have my bike, SUP board & paddle, bed, and clothes and little more as the apartment was furnished."

"How about your rent or lease?"

"Rent, month by month."

"Would you like to move in with me? I have a small house, yard, pool, great neighborhood, multi car garage.

I can rent a u-haul trailer and we can bring your stuff back today or tomorrow. That is, if you want?"

I said looking at her.

"You would do that for me?"

"Of course! Last night, when Shannon hugged me, she gave me her blessing, saying you were perfect for me. I have to agree with her.

If you want to stay, that is."

"Abe, you silly boy, try getting rid of me. I'm with you."

Smiling "you'll need to resign your position."

While you were dead asleep last night, I composed an email telling them I was quitting and thanking them for the opportunity to work for them."

"But you told me earlier, you called out with an emergency."

"We didn't make love yet, and I wanted to make sure I was wanted by you."

"Oh gosh Molly. I've wanted you since that first time we spent time together. Leaving that first weekend drove me crazy. I almost stayed the rest of the week. You are my girlfriend now. I'm not letting you go."

"Can we talk about finances a bit? "She asked. "I don't have much now, but once I'm working for Shannon for a bit, I should be able to make half the mortgage payment. And help with house bills, etc."

"Well, that's going to be difficult as the house is paid off as are the cars. I only have the yearly taxes and insurance and those are paid off too.

My business broke off from Sam's business 4 years ago. With his blessing, I knew he saw it coming and knew I was the one to take it. I'm not wanting for anything.

Well, I wasn't looking for a life partner, until I met you."

Molly was quiet for a while.

"Did I say something wrong Molly?"

"I don't know what to say."

"Say you'll stay with me."

"Yes, yes." She reached for my hand and squeezed it. Tears coming again.

"Hey, not fair, I'm driving. I can't hold you or brush those away.

Hey, hey. Why don't you find a u-haul rental place and tell them we need a 12×8 trailer with a 2 inch receiver. We can pick it up this afternoon or tomorrow."

With a job to do, she started making calls and reserved a trailer for us.

We found the rental place and got hooked up, putting my bike rack and bike in the trailer and confirmed where to return it back home.

The plan was to empty her place today and depending how much stuff there was, get my stuff at the hotel or spend the night at the hotel and go home the next day.

She really didn't have much furniture and it all fit in. The rest stayed in the apartment. Packing her clothes took a while and I had to go buy some bags.

"Remember, I worked in corporate and have clothes for there, as well as the hotel and relax clothes. I'm a girl too. We like clothes."

"Wait until you go shopping with Shannon and the girls. I've heard stories." I laughed at the thought.

By 5pm the trailer was packed. "Do you know anyone who needs a car?"

"Yes, why?"

"Contact them and let's give them your car. It's economical and reliable. You can use my second vehicle I have at home. I think you'll like it better, until we can find you something that you like. What did you used to drive?"

"A Subaru WRX STI."

"There you go. We'll find you something good. But let someone who needs a car have it. I can print up a quick automobile sale form. What do you say."

"It may take a while to adapt from poverty to whatever you are."

I went over to her and hugged her. "Is everything packed? Check everywhere. Do you want to grab a bite and stay overnight? Go to my er our place in the morning or go home after I get my bags and unpack in the morning."

"Yes," she said. "Let's grab your things and go to your house. I'm anxious to leave this behind and start a new life with you."

"I was hoping you'd say that." Lifting her chin and kissing her. I didn't want her dwelling on her past, rather looking forward to her future with me.

We went to the hotel, I repacked all my stuff. "You know, I'm tempted to ravish your body, but I will wait until later."

She turned bright red. I smiled at her and winked. I took her hand and we went down stairs and I checked out.

The guy at the desk was hostile to Molly. Molly said "Good bye John and good luck in the future." She took my hand and we walked out.

I tossed my stuff in the back, opened the door for her and headed home to Western Mass, hoping the traffic was light. Towing the trailer, I had to keep the speed below 60.

I was waiting for her to ask me about the house and she did. "Abe, where do you live?"

"East Longmeadow."

"What kind of house?"

"A little ranch style house with a 3 car garage."

"How little Abe?"

"Small enough for the two of us, big enough to expand if needed. A decent sized yard. Neighbors, quiet neighborhood. Oh, a small pool."

"Do you have other cars in the garage?"

"Yes."

"What other cars? Will I be able to drive one? "

"Uhm, a Toyota Tacoma pickup, that's a few years old and another car. Oh, and a small camper in the back yard. I tow it with the Toyota. If you think it's too small, we will trade it in on another larger one. I want you to be comfortable."

"Abe, before you, all my boy friends cared about themselves only and I was along for the ride. You're different. Why? I never thought I deserved someone like you." She started crying. Big sobs. I made a bee line to the next rest stop. I got out, opened her door and held her while she cried.

"Molly, I'm just the average, hard working guy. I care about people, especially the ones I love. I want to share life with you, have fun with you, make you happy, make love to you, be here for and with you." I looked at her and wiped away her tears.

I can't be the type of person you used to date, that's not me. I strive to be better and make you happier and include you in decisions. It's a two way street. You make me feel incredible. Talking with you, texting with you, being with you. You're all I can think about and the first person that has made me feel this way. I hope I do the same for you?"

She was nodding, still crying. "Abe, you have so much money and I have nothing. How can I contribute?"

"Molly, there is so much more to life than money. I work hard and sometimes take money for granted since I've made so much. But I'll donate it all, as long as you are with me, and I'll start again. Does that help you understand more?

Can we try, let me adjust, you adjust and see where we are in a few months?"

She was nodding yes.

" How to stop you from crying?"

She hugged me tighter and the sobbing stopped. I kissed her and wiped away her tears.

"You OK?"

She nodded again."Ready to go."

I closed her door, got on my side and we started off again.

Then the hit darn route 90 traffic and we slowed to a crawl. Finally pulling into my driveway at 10 pm.

I ran to her side, opened the door and pulled her into my arms. "Welcome to Abe's place. Soon to be renamed Molly and Abe's place."

"It's too dark, I can't see much. I'll look in the morning."

"Let me text Sam that we're home." He said he and Shannon would come by after breakfast and help us unpack. I welcomed their help."

"Let's go inside" I took her by the hand and brought her in. Locking the vehicle. "Are you hungry or thirsty?"

"No, but I have to pee."

"Me too. Then sleep. All this driving and traffic beats me up."

We cleaned up, I showed her the bedroom, pulled her sheet back and, right after she stripped to panties, she slid in and I tucked her in.

"You're joining me, right?"

"I'm sliding to the other side and will meet you in the middle. See, here I am. "I came up behind her, spooning her, pulling her close. Holding her tight. Closing my eyes and I was out.

I woke up in an empty bed. I found Molly looking out the kitchen window to the back yard. She was only wearing her panties.

I came up behind her and put a breast in each hand, nuzzling her neck."Good morning beautiful."

She turned around and gave me a big kiss, her titties mashed against my chest. My dick was hard as I pushed against her.

"What time is it?" I asked between kisses.

"9:30, why?"

"Come on, let's take a quick shower and get dressed. Sam and Shannon will be here in 30 minutes."

I pulled her into the shower, both of us being quick, and we dressed in yesterday's clothing. "We will put on clean clothes later."

Just as I opened the front door, Sam's pickup pulled in the driveway. Holding Molly's hand, we went out to greet them.

"Thank you for coming to help us."

Shannon had a few things in her hands. "What is that?" Molly said.

"You'll see soon," Shannon said.

Five minutes later, six more vehicles pulled in. Everyone helped unload and in 15 minutes everything had a place in the house or in the garage.

Everyone was standing around and had things in their arms.

"Alright, what's up? I asked.

Mike said, "Sam told us you were bringing someone special home with you and we want to give her a big welcome.

Molly, I'm Mike and this is Sam, short for Samantha. This is Marc and Mandy, David and Cheshire, but we call her C, Sue and Mack, Ken and Sabrina, Bruce and Molly and their kids. I'm going to quiz you in 10 minutes. Just kidding.

We brought steaks, potatoes, beer, wine, munchies, ice cream, pies, you name it. Oh, and bathing suits as Abe's pool is heated."

Mike gave Molly a hug. " Welcome" everyone else did the same. Bruce's wife Molly gave her a hug too and said "nice name".

"I don't know what to say," Molly said. "Thank you for the welcome. Abe didn't give me any warning. You all need name tags." Which got everyone laughing.

Mack said "Abe didn't know we were coming. We thought we'd surprise you and give you a big welcome to our friend's-family."

I had my arm around Molly's waist. "Welcome to my world. Friends that are special, more like a big family. An incredible family.

Shannon came over and extracted Molly from my grip and took her to the back yard, where they could talk and watch the kids in the pool.

"Guys, I'm honored you would welcome Molly as you have. Thank you." I said with emotion in my voice.

Mike said, "Come on, let's bring in the food and beer and get this party started!"

Molly was talking to everyone. Everyone took the opportunity to talk to her in person. It was great. A few hours later I found her at the sink washing dishes. I grabbed a towel and stood beside her and dried them.

"You don't have to do that Abe. "

"Yes, I do. For this to work, we share responsibility. You're washing, I'll dry and put away.

Are you a bit overwhelmed from meeting everyone? I didn't know they were going to do this. But they are a different group of people from most. And for them to do this, you made a positive impression on Shannon the other day."

"How did you know?"

"You look a little shell shocked. But happy."

"Are they always like this?"

"Yes. I could tell you stories, all crazy positive. Good people. I'm part of them and now you are by association. It's a different work environment. We all work very hard. A few of them don't have to, but do anyway. And if one person is ever in need, they are there supporting and finding solutions in any way possible. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it's real. Plus they are all very nice people. And you have probably never experienced that.

Let me know if it's too much."

I said all that, put the dish towel down and hugged her and gave her a kiss, looking into her eyes.

"In case you haven't figured out it yet, Molly, I love you "

She squeezed me so tight in a hug. " Molly, I can't breathe."

Laughing " Sorry Abe. I've been afraid to say it too, but have felt it for a long time. I love you too."

A small kiss, smiles, another hug. "Come on, the dishes can wait." Taking her by the hand, we returned to the group.

Everyone was in the pool, Bruce and Molly's kids were having fun. The adults were having fun. The mood was good.

Soon the call for ice cream came out. The kids wanted ice cream. "I don't have any," I said.

" Yes you do," C said.

I got out of the pool and checked the freezer. 3 half gallons were there. I grabbed them, some cones and a scoop and carried them out

A line formed and the kids were pushed to the front. Then my Molly was moved next. They went away happy. Then the Abe ice cream man went to work and everyone got one and was busy enjoying theirs. The kids returned for seconds and their mom said yes. I had mine and the 3 containers were done.

Sam asked if he could connect to my outdoor speakers. I helped him and soon we had music in the back, starting with his "patio mix" and couples were pairing up and dancing.

I found Molly, took her hand. "May I have this dance?"

She looked up at me, her hand in mine, got up and came into my arms. Holding her close, cheek to cheek, I started sucking on her ear.

She whispered in my ear "Abe, you're making me wet."

"Oh, really, I whispered back. Then should I stop? Or should I take you inside and have my way with you?"

"Oh Abe, just dance with me for now. Everyone looks so happy. Even the kids are paired off with adults. They get a lot of love and attention from everyone I see. I'm happy to be part of this with you. Thank you."

"Mmmm, thank you for being part of my life and starting a new life adventure with you."

The music changed and so did the dancing. Everyone was smiling and having a great time. Then one of the kids said "I'm hungry" and we looked and saw it was dinner time.

A conference and a few pizzas were ordered. Mack and both Molly's went to pick them up.

Mike came over to me "you look very happy Abe. Molly can't stop smiling. I'm glad we were able to bring "us" to her. The girls will do their thing as well as the rest of us and you know we are always here for you for anything.

Talking to her, I think she's going to do great work with Shannon and the project.

"I have a small idea for that." I said.

"Hang on, hey Shannon"

"What's up boys?" she said.

"Abe told me he has a small idea for you."

"I'm listening"

"Well" I said "I deliver and ship products all over in boxes. I was thinking, what if we either had Support Project Bully or something imprinted on the boxes or labels to stick on the boxes with a QR code and web site info on every box. Sam can do this for his business as l and everyone else can do in the form of a label on a receipt that Sam prints for her clients, Marc adds to his apps and websites.

Mike can add to his boxes. Between us all, the reach could be impressive and reach the average person. A subtle way to get the word out, using the power of us all.

"I like it, Abe. Thank you." She said, giving me a hug. "Great idea "

The pizza arrived and we were soon chowing down, making that food moan that pizza makes us make.

After dinner, a challenge went out for girls against guys in sand volleyball.

The girls were good, but us guys were better. That is until a ball coming our way was distracted by a pair of boobs being flashed.

"Hey, there are kids here," someone said.

Pointing at the picnic table "yes, and they are busy building a Lego project."

The game went on, a flash of thigh, another boob, butt cheeks and soon the game was over and the girls won.

"You guys cheated" Marc said. "How can we hit the ball being so distracted?"

A big laugh by the girls.

It was getting dark, the kids were yawning. Bruce and his Molly brought them around for good bye's and hugs.

"Uncle Abe, Aunt Molly" Molly looked at me smiling "thank you for a wonderful day, especially the pool and ice cream." I got my hug. "Aunt Molly, I'm so glad you're part of the family now. I like you." And she got a big hug bringing her to tears. Molly gave Molly a hug and said "kids can say the darnedest things. But they are a good judge of character. In the next few weeks, we'll have you over for dinner. Welcome to our family." Giving my Molly a hug.

My Molly leaned against me. A big smile on her face. That said it all.

Soon everyone was leaving, thanking us for hosting the fun and welcoming Molly to the group.

Sam and Shannon were the last ones left and helped us to clean up before saying goodbye.

Finally, we were alone. I took her hand and we started slow dancing. Sam had put on a slow dancing track before he left.

We swayed to the music, just enjoying the time. She pulled back, looking at me, shaking her head and kissed me.

Soft kisses turned into ones of needy desire. Hands touching body parts, clothes being removed and dropped where they were. Slow dancing in the nude in the back yard.

One hand on her butt and the other in her boob, squeezing, rubbing, touching, feeling. Her nipple hard, her breathing changing, her lips finding mine.

She had one hand holding my hard on my stroking gently and the other around my waist.

My hand slid down her belly to her sex. Gently sliding across it, feeling heat, shifting between her outer lips, causing her to take a big breath. Sliding up and down, moving her wetness.

Inserting two fingers, in and out. Me saying "in and out, I feel your wetness, heat and desire. Cum for me Molly. Cum for me."

An intake of breath and she fell against me breathing hard. " Mmmm, nice Abe, again."

I repeated but current my fingers up, stroking faster, inserting a third finger. She spread her legs more. Both of her arms on my shoulders, holding me tight. She was very close.

Looking into her eyes "I love you Molly" and she came. Her finger nails digging into my shoulder. Her body collapsed against me. I held her close. Despite the chill in the air she was sweating. One hand on her butt, the other now on her back. Swaying to the music once again

"Mmmm, that was nice Abe." Her lips found mine, kissing, tongues dancing together. Cheek to cheek. Holding each other tight.

I maneuvered her to one of the floats that was sitting on the ground. Moving between her legs, I rubbed myself against her slit, getting my dick slippery. Them pushing in, all the way in, causing her to intake her breath.

She knew what she wanted as her legs went around my back and every time I thrust in, she would pull me in harder. One last push and I was exploding inside of her.

I fell on top of her, sweating bodies mashed together. Holding her tight, just concentrating on breathing as I shrunk inside her and slid out. Trailing fluids. Hugging her close.

"Mmmm, that was nice" I said. Both of us giggling and then laughing hysterically. Kissing her again.

"Shower and then bed?"

"Yes," she said.

The next morning we were up and it was hot. Very hot for May. I thought I'd show her the area.

"Abe, what's in the third garage?" She asked.

"Well, I'm really into torture sex, that's my dungeon." The blood drained from her face. "Oh, Molly, a very bad joke, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you like that."

I took her hand and brought her into the garage and opened the door. I pulled the cover off my cherished car, a blue Porsche 911 cabriolet.

"See, just a car" she looked very relieved. She was gawking at the beautiful car. "A beautiful car. When I started making some serious money, this was a gift for myself. I only drive it on beautiful warm days, like today. Would you like to go for a drive?"

She looked at me, still not saying anything. "Molly, what's the matter? I'm so sorry I scared you earlier. So, so sorry. Talk to me, please."

"Abe, it's beautiful. I don't deserve all this and you." And she started crying again. I just held her close.

"Come on, let's go shower and then we will take Blue out for a ride. She likes to run. OK?"

She just looked at me with those big tears. My heart is breaking seeing her like this.

"Do you want me in the shower too or by yourself?"

"By myself, otherwise, we may never leave." She said smiling and licking her lips.

"Oh man. You're making me hard again. Maybe we should stay and have sex all day?" I said, smiling. I gave her tush a swat. "Let's get going". Chasing after her.

While she was in the shower, I texted Samantha. Favor to ask, I think Molly needs some girl time to help her adjust.

We're going for a drive to show her around. Can we stop by this afternoon for a bit? Maybe you can spend some time with her?"

"Sure thing Abe. What time?"

"Maybe around 2pm? I'll share my location with you now, so you can see us coming. Thank you. I think she's in a bit of shock."

"Looking forward to seeing you both later."

"Thank you."

We both showered and we hopped in the Porsche. I was driving. Molly looked happy and was smiling. We drove through East Longmeadow, through the local towns and the city of Springfield, pointing out the good and questionable places in town. Then we hit 91 north and opened up the Porsche. She had a big smile on her face, making me feel better.

We cruised into Northampton for lunch and she pointed out places she recognized from her college days. I decided to drive out route 9 east to UMASS and drove through the campus. She pointed out places she had been and things done with friends.

I pulled over and asked her," Would you like to drive?"

She looked at me, smiled and said "YES!"

We swapped seats, got her adjusted. I showed her a few things and said, "Start slow."

She did start slow and had the biggest smile on her face. I directed her where to go and back to 91 south where she slowly opened it up. She was loving it and was screaming in happiness. Up and over Mt Tom, punching it up to 100 mph, with me hoping no cop was around. She brought it back to 75 and was loving it.

I directed her to Mike and Sam's house and we parked in the driveway. I got out quickly and helped her out. She leapt into my arms "Abe, that was great, great! Can we do that again sometime soon? I loved it.

Sam and Mike came out. Sam took Molly and Mike and I talked Porsche. "So," Mike said, "You actually took it out of your garage. I was wondering when that was going to happen. Judging by her smile, she loved the drive."

"Yes, it's good to see her smiling again and starting to relax at the change. I'm hoping Sam can help her relax."

"Are you still going to the Cape in a few weeks? Finally using some of your vacation time?"

"Crap, I completely forgot about it once I met Molly. I don't know when she starts work with Shannon and if she'd even want to go camping with me."

"Come on man, get real, she adores you and you her. She'd follow you to hell if it meant she could be with you."

"I do love her, Mike. I've never felt this way about anyone and think it's serious. I've known her for a few months, but the relationship hit the next few levels in the past week. The day she took me on a tour of Plymouth, I fell for her. But kept my distance as I wasn't sure she felt anything for me. Being away from her drove me crazy. I knew then that she could be the one."

"Will you ask her to marry you?"

"We haven't talked about futures, kids, marriage yet. I don't want to scare her away. She's just 27 and I'm 28."

"Abe, do you love her?" Mike asked.

"Yes."

"Watching her, she loves you, man. Sam and I see how she looks at you. She's the one. Sam's never wrong. She has this uncanny ability to read people and she has never been wrong. If you believe in marriage, which we do, ask her. Don't wait too long. You guys have an amazing future together. I can see it."

"I don't even know where to get a ring? I've never bought any jewelry."

"Marc bought Mandy's ring at the Jewelry shop off the X. Or Google them. I think there is a jewelry store on Elm street in Enfield too. On the corner of the road where Home Depot is."

"Stay for dinner? Come on, the Sox game is about to start. I don't mean to push you into anything. But so many of us have found love in the past few years. I'm bubbling over in happiness that you have too."

"Thanks Mike. Yes, on the Sox. Let's see what Molly wants to do dinner wise. Having the group at the house yesterday I think she was overwhelmed by the end of the day. You all were awesome. She's never had such positivity in her life before. She lost 2 big jobs and ended up at this hotel and lost some of her confidence. I think once she gets it back, she'll relax. She's worried about money, about paying her way, equal shares, etc. I'm comfortable enough that she doesn't have to work. But like us all, she needs to and the Bully Project will be great for her skills. She will thrive there.

I sort of made her give away her little egg shaped economy car. I'm going to let her drive the truck until she gets comfortable enough and I'll buy her something, if she lets me. Although she really liked driving the Porsche, but, that's not going to be anyone's daily driver."

"Come on, let's go in." Mike said.

We sat on the couch commenting about the current RedSox team, commenting on plays and possibilities. Finally, Sam and Molly came out. Molly said "Is it OK if we stay for dinner Abe? Sam asked us and I said I'd check with you."

"Mike asked me and I said I'd check with you. Yes, dinner is fine with me."

"Is that the Sox game? Can I watch it with you guys? They have a good looking team this year. Lots of possibilities. I love the new young guys. Their energy and excitement will take the Sox to new levels."

Mike and I looked at each other. Mike said "She likes the Sox. Keep her."

Molly said "What?"

I said, come sit down ladies. Let's see what our Sox can do.

The game ended a little after 5 pm with the Sox winning. Molly was quoting batting averages and talking about baseball shop. We were impressed and she was on fire. Finally relaxed. I looked at Sam and she smiled at me.

"Hey, Molly, when does Shannon want you to start working?" I asked.

"She wants me right after Labor Day in September. She's moving the offices to a better location that is more accessible for the public. I have the whole summer off. I don't know what I'm going to do?"

Sam said, "Can you help me organize the wedding?"

"What wedding?"

"I'll tell you while the boys cook dinner."

"Molly, I completely forgot, I have two weeks of camping reservations in North Truro the last two weeks of June. Would you like to join me?"

"Silly boy, of course I'm coming with you. Where is North Truro?"

"Cape Cod, just below Provincetown."

"Yes, yes, I've always wanted to go to Cape Cod. Everyone tells me it's fantastic. Yes. Do you want to take me or someone else?"

Looking at Sam, "Molly, my love, you are the only one that is coming on vacation with me. I've made reservations in the past and always canceled them as I didn't want to go anywhere by myself. With you coming with me, we'll have an amazing vacation." I reached over and pulled her close to me and kissed her.

"You know, guys, we have a few spare bedrooms." Sam said.

We both turned bright red.

Mike said "Come on Abe, you can help me grill some chicken. Let the girls talk some more."

The two weeks before vacation flew by. I had my assistant manager make the deliveries to our Plymouth client each week. He stayed in the room I reserved. Molly came to work with me and helped in the office, helped me stream line the way some things were done to make them more efficient.

Two days before leaving for the Cape, I pulled the camper around and plugged it in to get the fridge cold enough to store food and to pack what clothes and stuff we needed.

She had her SUP and paddle, I had 2 kayaks, both our bikes. The car in the garage and the house locked up. We were driving the truck and off we went.

It took Molly almost 2 weeks to relax and be herself again. She was happy and smiling and we were talking again non stop for most of the nearly 200 mile trip to North Truro. Tunes on and singing our hearts out and the trip went by quickly, even the traffic over the bridge was mild.

I pointed out interesting places and possible places to visit, beach, swim, eat, kayak, bike or whatnot. When possible, we held hands, fingers interlocked.

"Where did you go on vacation when you were younger Molly?"

"My dad talked about all these places and then found a sitter and took my mom there. He never took us on vacation. So now it's my opportunity to go. How about you?"

"My parents were the same way. It must have been a generational thing. They put an above ground pool in the backyard, got us a sitter and went away without us. After college and for the past few years, I didn't go anywhere as I didn't want to go alone." I said while squeezing her hand "now with you, I can't wait to do things and experience them with you."

She squeezed my hand back and looked at me. I glanced at her smiling and she smiled back. "We're almost there. On the left is a nice pizza restaurant and ice cream place beside it, the best ice cream anywhere. Here is our turn." Taking my hand back. Here is the campground. Let me park and check us in. Come in with me."

Check in was quick. We received a map showing the campsite. Thankfully easy back into it, set up was quick. Turn on AC and get ready for 2 weeks of vaca by 4:30 pm.

Looking at Molly, "What would you like to do now?" Smiling at me, walking closer, she undid my belt, un- buttoned my pants and pulled them down with my underwear. My dick popped out and she took the base and licked the tip.

"So good" she sucked me into her mouth. "Oh god Molly." I put my hands on her head. She went to work, licking, sucking, edging, pulling me out.

Bobbing on the head, licking the sensitive underneath. Holding my balls, she felt them tighten."I'm going to cum", she sucked faster, sucked harder and I was cumming in her mouth. She kept sucking until there was no more.

She stood up and put her arms around my neck and pulled me closer to her.

"That was good," she said. "You taste good, my Abe." She leaned back and took off my shirt.

She stepped back and took off her top and shorts, climbed in the bed and said " I need to be fucked right now. Fuck me."

I didn't need to be told twice. I was hard again and entered her doggy style and went to work slamming into her. Feeling her inside walls tighten, get hotter and wetter and she tightened up "oh gosh Abe, I'm cumming, so good, needed this."

I continued to pound into her. I think she came again and finally I felt myself ready to explode. Pushing harder and deeper, I exploded into her, falling forward on top of her.

Rolling to her side, "mmm, that was good" I said. "That was great", she said.

"Are you OK?" I asked her.

"Yes. I think the moving out to you just happened so fast. It just left me a little out of sorts. I'm so glad I did it. I love you Abe and everything about you and your friends are so nice. I'm going to enjoy Western Mass. I feel like I'm finally on track for a good future and one with you."

I smiled, happy to hear this. "Are you hungry by any chance? There's a great pizza place down the street with ice cream for dessert. Are you interested"

"Yes! Let's get up and go, I'm famished."

We went to Savory for a pizza, had delicious ice cream at Sweet Escape next door. "Can I taste yours?" I asked her.

"You already know what I taste like." She said, then laughed as I turned red with embarrassment, looking around to see who heard that. A couple around our age was smiling at us. They heard the comment.

Two could play this game, I was thinking. "Would you prefer I licked that now instead of the cone?" The couple smirked.

"Abe. OK. You know you're so sweet and playful. Your imagery made me wet."

"So more fun after dinner?" Her face was crimson. I started laughing. She held her cone out and I took a lick. I held mine out and she took a bite. I moved in and kissed her quickly, tasting my ice cream.

"Sorry folks. I hope we didn't embarrass you."

"No problem, we enjoyed the exchange." They said smiling and holding hands.

We finished the ice cream and headed to the Truro harbor to watch the sunset.

As the sun was going down, "Molly, do you want kids someday?"

"Yes, two would be nice. But we need lots of practice first. "

"Me too. Watching Bruce and his Molly made me wonder if you wanted some too."

We were standing side by side, watching the sun set, the rays reflecting off the water and boats. I took her in my arms and kissed her. Just a soft, I love you, kind of kiss.

The sun went down and we got back in the truck and went back to camp. I was going to read, but was in a mood where I didn't want to do anything. We just sat on the bed, side by side, holding hands, content in our own internal thoughts.

I felt myself nodding off and slid down to sleep, Molly in front of me, spooning together. Her hands are holding my arms around her.

We both awoke at 8:30 am. "Good morning," I said.

She smiled at me "Good morning. What's for breakfast, I'm starving."

I pushed her belly. "Yup, it feels empty."

"Hey" She said and reached over and started tickling me, sending me into fits of laughter, unable to protect myself. "A noted weakness of yours. I'll remember this."

"Stop, please stop, before I pee on us both!" I said.

She stopped and I ran into the bathroom. Coming out. Still nude from the night before.

"Uh oh, someone is awake. What are we going to do about that? We can't have you walking around hard everywhere. What will people think? Your girlfriend is not taking care of you. Come here." As she slid to the end of the bed and took me in her mouth.

She was rolling my balls in one hand and pumping me with the other hand and sucking and licking me. "Groan." I barely said. "Not going to last long, you get me so excited I can't control myself."

"Cum for me Abe. Squirt into my mouth. Cum on, Do it." as she started sucking me with vigor.

"Oh god" I grabbed her head and pulled her to me and came. Holding her shoulders for stability. "Oh god Molly. You make me so fucking horny."

She pulled off me, looking to make sure I was clean and licked her lips. "Nice pre breakfast appetizer" She said.

"If we can't control ourselves, we'll never make it to the beach today." I said.

"Oh beach, count me in. Let's eat and go."

"Ocean or Bay side?"

"What's the difference?"

"The bay is calmer, warmer water. The ocean has waves, colder, more chances of sharks."

"Bay side please."

We packed lunch, towels, chairs, blanket, umbrella, books and camera & other stuff and headed to the quiet Mayo Beach in Wellfleet.

We arrived and secured a spot for us. Laying the blanket down, I sat there & Molly sat in my lap. She wiggled her ass causing me to get hard.

"You naughty girl."

"Abe, tell me about some of your past girlfriends."

"Why?"

"I'm just curious."

Well, the last one, we were together for a very short while. She didn't like to talk much. We went out to dinner twice and then I invited her to the house and cooked for her.

I asked her to set the table as I was watching the food carefully. She didn't, so I ran over, grabbed the silverware and put it in front of her.

The fork and knife were upside down and she had a fit. She started yelling at me saying I disrespected her, etc etc. Just because the silverware was upside down.

I turned off the heat and escorted her out of the house with instructions to delete my contact info.

Another didn't want to talk. She just wanted sex. It was good, but I needed more. We dated for a few weeks. I think once she found out I was better off than her past boy friends, she changed. Asking me to buy things for her. I turned her down. It just felt wrong. Then she said she'd swap sex for a new dress. I said no thanks and went home.

Someone set me up with this girl that was covered in tattoos. One date. This clean cut boy didn't like that.

Another smoked even though she said she didn't.

I gave up. Samantha told me to just ride it out. That i will meet someone when I least expected it. She was right. That was you.

When I checked into the hotel, I was attracted to you. Sitting in my room, after briefly chatting, I wanted to talk more with you and spend time with you.

That first day, you and I talked more than all my dates combined in the last 4 years. I knew I had to see you more. "

"How about you, what are your past boyfriend's like?"

" Well, when I was working in the non profit, one year I dated a med student and another a lawyer.

The med student just didn't have any time for me and I understood that. The lawyer started out OK. But when I lost my job and started working at the hotel, he said some pretty mean things to me. I was hurt and insulted and afraid to date anyone until I met you.

Our first day together, I kept telling myself that it was just a work thing. But I was attracted to you too. Not just physically, I really enjoyed talking to you. When we started texting and calling, it became I couldn't wait to see you.

Oh yeah, before those two, I dated a guy that just was a bad guy. He was mean, slightly abusive both verbally and physically.

I left him quickly.

I hadn't been on a date since I started working at the hotel. The guys at the hotel asked me out, but I had no interest in them. I got the impression they just wanted to get laid. I wanted a relationship. My friends suggested online dating. But, I wasn't that desperate yet.

Then you entered my hotel. Not some old business guy. A younger, polite, soft spoken, confident and handsome guy.

After talking with you initially, I hoped you would come down and talk more and you did. And here we are.

Her arms were around my neck, my hands around her waist. We were just looking at each other. Then she leaned in for a soft kiss. I pulled her in closer.

"Molly, you are so different from all my prior dates and quasi girlfriends. And that's what I need and I hope I am the person you need too. Because I want you in my life.

You have spoken with Samantha. She seems to know who is right for who. After she met you, she came up to me and said 'she's perfect for you'.

I know I pushed you into getting rid of your car and meeting with Shannon for a better job and moving out with me. That was all so rush rush and happened so quickly. I don't want to force you into anything.

I do hope you are here because you want to be and you really do like me?"

"Silly boy, I love you. I've never said that to anyone else. I feel it in my heart, my brain, my body.

I was a little shell shocked when all your friends showed up. It took me a few days to recover from that. But they gave such a welcome and I have never felt that much instant friendship and love anywhere. I knew this was special. You and them. The girls and their guys. Especially you.

Hey, I'm the one who cries."she said as she noticed a tear running down my face. I just hugged her close.

"Are you OK driving the truck? We can go car shopping for you, when we get home in a few weeks. "

"You mean I can't drive the Porsche as a daily driver? "

I think the blood drained from my face. " Abe, Abe, I'm just kidding. Or maybe I'm not. "She grounded me.

"Are you hot?"

"You don't think I'm hot? "

"I know you're sizzling sexy hot. My hard dick tells you that. How about a swim?"

"Yes. "

"I'd carry you in, but I can't get up, with you on me."

"Oh, right." She got up, took off her sundress and ran into the water with me following. We splashed around and goofed off like little kids. Her beautiful smile had returned and it lit up her whole being. "I'm starting to prune. I'm getting out."

"OK, me too." I sat on the blanket and much to my surprise, she sat in my lap and wiggled her ass around. "You know exactly what you are doing, don't you?"

With a huge grin on her face, "Oh yeah. Is that a flashlight in your pocket Abe? Or a stick that I am sitting on."

"You are so bad. You can't get off me, as my hard on will stick out. This is a family beach, dont cha know."

"So, we're in a predicament." She said,

"Hmmm" Pulling her closer, so I could speak softly in her ear. "You know, miss sexy, if we were alone, I would start by kissing and licking up your legs. Taking special care under your knee and then moving to those delicious inside the thighs. They are so smooth and soft. I would lick and kiss each one moving towards the center.

Finally reaching your pussy and kissing and licking those sexy lips. Sticking my tongue far in and tasting your juices. Pulling your lips aside so my tongue can reach deeper. Starting low and licking slowly to the top, but not your clit."

"Fuck, you know how to get my juices flowing Abe. I'm drenched down there and not from swimming. Touch me Abe."

"We're on a family beach, my love. No touchy. "Can you imagine, my tongue licking up and down your slit, not missing anything? Then slowly, little licks, working towards your clit. Lick around it, across it, can you feel that Molly. Can you feel me sucking in your clit and running my tongue over and around your clit. Can you feel that."

Whispering and with a red face, "Fuck Abe, you just made me cum. Just talk, and you got my motor running. Where can we go to be alone? Is there any place local?"

"Not this time of the day, my love." It's just us, and our imaginations right now."

"I remove my tongue and replace it with two fingers pushing in and out. Feeling your wetness and heat. Now three fingers, curling up to find your G-Spot. In and out. Did I hit it? Can you feel me pumping my fingers in and out? Can you. Are you OK, you are breathing hard. Let me push them in further. Fucking you with my fingers. Pulling them out and holding them between us, both of us licking them clean. I love that pussy juice.

But, we're not done yet. Pushing you onto your back and putting your legs on my shoulders, my cock rubbing along your clit. Can you feel my hardness Molly? My desire. Rubbing the head, and inserting just a little bit. Tiny strokes. Are you pushing against me wanting more sweetheart? Hmmm, do you want more?"

"YES" She whispered breathily. "Yes, I want it all."

"I slide more in, then pull out, and push in. Just a little bit. Do you want more? I don't wait for an answer. I push in deeper, but not the whole way. You are pushing back and moaning. Finally, I push myself all the way in. Can you feel me now, all the way in? Your pussy lips are against my pubes. I want to go deeper, pushing harder. Do you want more?

I start pulling out and pushing all the way in, faster and faster, my balls slamming into you. Can you feel it Molly?"

"Oh god Abe, what are you doing to me? I'm soaked. I need you so bad right now. Please, please fuck me."

"Family beach, remember? But, imagine me slamming into you. Pulling all the way out and then re-entering you. I can practically feel your walls tightening, getting hotter and wetter as you cum. Can you feel it? Cum for me Molly, cum for me now."

"Oh Abe, fuck." As she bites my shoulder to keep quiet and pulls me in tighter. "That was a hard one and you haven't even touched me."

"I continue slamming into you, harder and faster and then one final push and I explode inside you. Can you feel me cumming inside you Molly? Wanting you so badly with every ounce of my being. Wanting to cum inside you, hold you tight, feeling every ounce of you. Can you cum again?" I notice the people to our right and left have packed up and left. I reach between her legs and stroke her pussy over her bathing suit, pushing it in deep, stoking to create friction as she comes again.

"That was a good one Molly. Let's do that again." I slide my fingers in from the side and stroke her lips, pushing them inside her, feeling her heat and wetness. Cum for me again Molly. Cum on my fingers. I want to make you happy. I want you to cum NOW!"

She gripped me tight and screamed into my shoulder. I held her until she relaxed again. Pulling my soaking hand up and holding it between us. Both of us licked it clean. Removing my hand and kissing her hard. "Molly, you make me crazy, I want you so bad now and always. Every thought is you. Kissing her again, tongues dancing against tongues. Lips mashed together. "I love you girl."

I reached down and untied her bikini bottoms and pulled them off. Holding against my mouth making a sucking noise and then putting them beside me. I slid her off me and bent in her legs back, exposing the amazing pussy and bent down and went to town on it for real this time. Licking and sucking. She was squirming and moving. I sucked her clit in and ran my tongue over it and she exploded onto my face, thrashing around, hand over her mouth, trying not to scream. Finally she calmed down.

I looked around and saw no one as clouds were rolling in and we were the only ones left on the beach.

I picked her legs back up, dropped my bathing suit and plunged in. Quickly fucking her. Fast and hard, pushing in deep. She was as wet as I have ever felt her. I came quickly, I had been tortured for too long and just came and came. Molly was thrashing around and finally calmed down. I pulled out and slid my trunks up. I found her bottoms and tied them back on.

I went up to kiss her and her eyes were glazed. A gentle kiss. "Are you OK my love? Let's go for a swim and get out of here before the rain starts." I got up, took her hand and got her standing and led her to the water, which seemed to bring her back to reality.

Holding her in my arms in the water. "Abe, what was that? I've never, ever felt such a strong orgasm. I felt like I was outside my body watching it happen and I kept cumming and cumming. I feel drained. I need something to drink, I feel dehydrated, and I need a nap."

"Well, you started it by grinding on me and making me crazy. So, I took it to the next level."

"Next level? Fuck, Abe, you took me out of the solar system. Can we go back to the camper now?"

The first drops of rain started and we grabbed our stuff and got in the truck just as a downpour started. We made it back to the camper, keeping slightly ahead of the storm. Leaving our stuff in the truck, we raced into the camper, soaking wet again.

In a blink she had her suit off and was tugging mine down. I stepped out of them and she sucked me into her mouth, getting me hard again. Standing, she held me by the dick and brought me to the bed. Lifting her legs, I didn't need more of an invitation and plunged in again. Slamming into her, balls slapping her ass, harder and harder and I came in minutes and collapsed on top of her.

"Now we both need a nap." She said,

I rolled beside her, put my arms around her and pulled her close and fell asleep.

Two hours later, I awoke and looked at my angel still sleeping. I pushed the hair from her face. Whispering "Molly, Molly, let's get up and eat something small for dinner and then return to bed."

She stirred, eyes fluttering open. "No, just stay here with me."

"Are you hungry Miss Molly?" As I put my ear to her belly and heard growling.

"Yes, I guess so."

I got up and gave her my T and took another for myself. I helped her up. She was groggy.

"Are you OK, sleepy head?"

"Trying to wake up. My brain wants to sleep more, my body feels like Jello. You were a wild, sex craved monster yesterday. I have no idea how many times I came. It was a lot."

"You started my engine by grinding on me at the beach. I just took it to the next level." I said as I put my hands on her hips and drew her in for a hug. She hugged me back. She felt so good in my arms. No one has ever felt this good.

"How about some eggs, toast and watermelon for breakfast?"

"Don't forget the tea or coffee. I need caffeine big time."

"Have a seat and I'll bring it over when ready."

I put some U2 in my phone thru MusicFest and played it thru the campers stereo. A bit louder than normal. We were both singing and I brought her the food and a coffee.

"Mmm, good food. You cook well. I think I'm going to keep you, at least for your cooking skills."

"No other skills?"

She turned bright red. "OK. Your sexual skills, loving skills, I can go on."

I smiled at her and soon we were laughing and trying to not choke on the food.

It was raining outside. Would you like to stay inside today and continue love making or go into Provincetown and walk around the shops in the rain? It's actually more fun than it sounds."

"Shopping wins any day of the week. Plus any more sex and I won't be able to walk. I need a small break after yesterday."

"Did I break you?"

"No, no, I just need a short break."

"Good," I said, "as I have more fun planned for you."

She choked and started coughing, coffee coming out her nose. I went to her side, offering a napkin. Finally she stopped and looked at me smiling and realized, I was kidding.

"Shower and let's go" she said " the stores are calling me."

"Have you ever been to P-town before?" I asked her.

"My first time."

"You're in for some fun."

We showered, grabbed our rain gear and left. We parked on the pier, plenty of parking today and walked hand in hand to commercial street.

"Welcome to Commercial street, in Provincetown." I said. " You can find nearly anything imaginable for sale on this street."

She looked at me. "Anything?"

"Yes, anything."

I took her hands and we went into every store. We did stop for lunch and lobster and ate at the picnic table on the sand. The rain had stopped and the sun was peeking between the clouds.

Molly and I stood side by side, looking at the boats in the harbor.

I took her hands in mine. Turning to her. "Molly, I know this is not romantic, but will you marry me?"

She looked at me, shock showing on her face. Thinking 'uh oh, I just blew it'.

"Abe, you know I love you, with all my heart and soul and I can not imagine being away from you, ever. Yes, I will marry you."

I pulled her into a hug and claps and whistles all around us. I placed my hands on her cheeks and drew her in for a kiss.

Someone said, I just recorded you kids. Give me your email and I'll send you a link where you can download it.

A few said they had pictures and more videos. I gave them my business cards and said thank you to everyone.

We continued browsing, hand in hand. Stopping at a jewelry store. We went in and I looked for a diamond ring. Trying them on her finger.

"Too big Abe. More modest please."

The jeweler brought out more and we both saw one and liked it immediately. She tried it on and it looked great.

"Can you fit it while we wait? For her to wear now? We just got engaged."

Most certainly. Give me 30 minutes. Keep browsing and my associate can help you with further questions.

We looked for matching bands and found one we liked and it is ordered for two. One for each of us.

Our fingers were measured and he said they would be ready in a few days.

The jeweler came out and handed me the ring. "Molly, my love." And I slid it in her finger. She looked that she was going to cry. I hugged her close.

Both of the sales people asked for my email so they could send me the video. I handed out more cards.

I paid for it all. Molly looked at me "Too expensive. I don't deserve this" and she started crying, leaning against me.

I wiped her tears. "You make me happy, I love you. We are so good together. You deserve this." I told her.

I took the receipt and thanked them and said "We'll be back next week to pick up the rings. Please call me when they are ready. Thank you for your service." We walked out.

"I know you want to. Take a pic and text the girls. I'm sure Samantha somehow already knows."

She took a pic of her hand and I took a pic of her holding it up. A big, big smile on her face. She texted it to Sam and then called her.

"Sam, Sam, Abe proposed and I said yes! Look at this beautiful ring!" Molly had her on speaker. I heard a yell of approval and Mike, Abe proposed to Molly and she said yes! Molly, I am so happy for you, so, so happy! Congratulations!"

"Thank you. I think I'm in a little shock. I had to tell someone and you're the first. I'll talk to you later. Hugs."

"You and Abe have a great day. Congrats again. So happy for you both!"

Molly hung up and put her phone away. She was looking at me. Eyes big. Her hands on my cheeks and she leaned in for a kiss. "Mmm, Mrs. Molly Snow. I like the sound of that."

"Me too."

We walked through the rest of the shops including the sex one. "Wow, that's a huge dildo."

We both laughed. A sales person came over. " Are you looking for anything in particular?"

Molly, still holding the huge dildo " do people really use something this large?" She asked innocently.

"Miss, this could change your world."

She replied "He changed my world, real life is so much better than rubber." I think I turned bright crimson.

"Well, you are a lucky girl then. Not all women are so lucky. Or men for that matter." Looking at me, he said " if you ever want to come to the other side..."

Molly held up her hand "He just proposed to me and I said yes, so he's taken for the next 60+ years."

"Congratulations, here's something you both can have fun with. Edible body paint flavors. On the house. I wish you both the best of luck." And turned and walked to the register.

Molly was reading the box. " Hmm, this looks like fun. Thank you. May we have your card? Do you ship?"

"Yes, we do. I'm Karl, and he handed her his card."

"Thank you Karl", we both said. "May we have a bag please?"

We walked out smiling and into the next store. By the end of the day, some purchases later, we found the truck and headed back to camp. The rain started again and it got colder.

"What do you like for dinner?" I asked her.

"I'm still full from lunch. Can we snuggle on the couch and watch TV?"

"I'd love to." We fell asleep on the couch."

Waking in the morning a little achy. Then falling back to sleep. Waking again to knocking on the door.

I got up to answer it.

"Surprise!"

Molly was up and looking outside. All our friends were there with food, bottles of wine, chairs and smiles.

"Where did you all come from?" Molly asked.

"We heard the exciting news and came down to celebrate with you both. We're all so excited!" Shannon said.

"Can we see the ring?" Sue said.

"Wait, wait." I said. " Can you give us 30 minutes to shower and we will be right out? "

"Yes. We will be here. Go shower."

I closed the door and we both took quick showers. We put on clean clothes and brushed our teeth and came out 25 minutes later.

They must have been waiting as we heard Mike's voice "introducing the new Mr and Mrs Abe Snow." Clapping all around. So many from the campground were on the edges. Clapping and congratulations. Molly showing of her ring.

Everyone got a cup of champagne. Including the other campers. Mike had the grill lit and burgers and dogs were being grilled. Everyone was invited. There must have been 60 people there.

"You guys." I said. "I know you all and I'm still shocked. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"Sam knew somehow and was just waiting for the news. I don't know how she does it." Mike said.

Sam grabbed Molly and me and drew us aside. "You both, I'm beyond words happy for you." She had tears in her eyes. "Molly, I've only known you a short while, but I love you like a sister. Abe, you're one of the boys. You may be 12 years younger but you're one of them. One of us. We all love you both.

In 6 weeks, the big wedding is happening. We're having a big, multi wedding in Chatham. All of us are getting married.

Can I also include you both?"

"Uh, we didn't talk about a date. We just got engaged yesterday. "Molly said.

"I would love to have you join us Molly. It would be so special. All of us have the same anniversary, the same amazing memories.

I can add you guys now. I'm sorry to rush you. I'll let you talk it over. I'll be over there." Hugging and kissing us both.

"What do you think Molly?" Same amazing big wedding with everyone or one by ourselves sometime in the future? I didn't expect to be asked to join them, just to attend with you."

She looked at me. "One big wedding with all your friends. Something that's never been done before. Shared anniversary. Hmm. Something special. Super special. Would you be OK with this?"

"Yes. With you, tomorrow or whenever. With you, my love."

"Then yes, let's do this!

Sam!"

Sam came running back.

Molly said "We would love to get married with you all. I can't believe I just said that. But yes! We're in!

How do we notify friends and family?"

"After today's little party, I'll sit with you both and we'll get this rolling. I'm so happy for you both!" She said hugging us again and dragged us back to the party.

"Can I have your attention? Abe and Molly will be joining the big wedding in August."

Cheers rang out. Clapping and celebration. Everyone was eating and chatting.

Marc finished and pulled some speakers out of his truck. Soon music was cranking and everyone started to sing and dance.

Happiness in the air.
