The Dive Inn Hotel... Caretaker, South Carolina.
"Thanks for the ride, Lynette." Caprice Comstock climbed out of Lynette Brewster's soccer mom van, "Dolan texting me he couldn't make it because his kid went missing is scary. Same time though after Ollie's stunt today I don't want to let him find my car here. Of course, I do have Clinton here to stand between Ollie and me. Bear might just be able to take Oliver as long as no weapons get used."
"Bear? Oh, my! Is Clinton cute?" Lynette twirled her curly brown hair with a flirtatious hint. "Momma likes cuddly... make that ferocious bears."
"Less Grizzly Lyn. More in a big ole' teddy bear kind of way. Tough critter just awkward. Besides, don't you have Olan pinching your backside?"
"Always room for one more." The pudgy sweetheart chuckled with a faint blush, "I got two cheeks CC."
"Go on home Critter before Ronny burns your house down."
"Ugh! Don't remind me. At least he's back in school this week. Picking on his baby brother probably about now though."
"Alright! I'll see you tomorrow, Mother Goose!"
"Ha! Goose! Love ya Baby."
"Love you too." Walking away from Lynette Brewster the mother of two drove off. Heading to her hotel room after a swift scan for motorcycles and strange eyes she felt safe enough to go to her hotel room door. Just as she reached her door key in hand, the room door next to her opened up and a certain Britney Saunders stepped out in her Pound Puppy jammies with an ice bucket.
"Hi!" Brit smiled at CC.
Sizing up a full-grown woman in Pound Puppy jammies had CC puckering over mentality, "Howdy neighbor. Walking the dogs?" She winks and points at her chest. "Love the Pups."
"Aww that's sweet of you to notice. They're vintage I had a pair just like them as a child." She realized her button-down shirt had the top three buttons undone and a nice pair of 38C's offering swellshock. "Sorry for prowling in the PJ's, I just checked in after a long drive from North Carolina. Kinda don't care what people think." She laughed.
"No worries, Sweetie. Here in five minutes, I'll be wearing less. If you hear any hijinks later just beat on the wall, I'll try and lower the volume."
"Aww! Be as loud as you want, I'll be fine. I hope he's..."
"Right behind you?" CC nods as Nick Sanchez drops burly Clinton Biles off at the sidewalk and roars out of the lot. Clinton Biles looked wore out, filthy, and depressed. Britney seeing Clinton smiled at CC with flaring eyes and obvious hormonal insight at what she thought of him. "Careful Pounce Puppies." She smirked.
"You're sooo lucky! That's one hunk of a man."
"Just friends! Hey Bear? Meet your new girlfriend." Britney bulged her eyes at CC's boldness.
"Howdy!" He did pep up slightly at seeing Brit in her Pound Puppies pajamas. Even after years of mental abuse Britney loved dogs even printed ones. "Nice Pups!" He meant the jammies.
"Oh My God!" Brit blushed and hurried away grinning. Weird that Clinton smelled wet fur.
"What was that about?" He watched Britney's big butt wiggle away with her bottoms clenched between her cheeks. The bouncy sway was mesmerizing. Halfway to the ice machine she reached around and tugged them out of her wedge without thinking about her actions. Looking back over her shoulder with embarrassment she spotted Clinton eying her and rubbing his beard. Beet red she swore a second very vocal, "Oh My God!"
"Just trying to cheer you up, sad in the sack. There's your new GF."
"Rough day!" He rolled his eyes as CC opened the door for them. "I don't know about a girlfriend it's too soon. I could use a massage though."
"Don't look at me Bear. So do I." She laughed. "Ollie snuck up on me today at the diner. The most interesting woman showed up to help me out. Shantel Bigelow's daughter, I think. Said she was headed to the Police Station." She omitted the hubby sorrow knowing Clinton was going through the same. CC was pretty naïve tonight that's for sure. "Dolan's daughter went missing. I'm worried."
"Oh, yeah? Maybe I should get showered and go look for her with him. I am a deputy it appears."
"Can't wait to see you in uniform Bear. Bet you're gonna look snazzy." Going inside their room they shut the door. Britney immediately pouted and took an ice cube from her bucket to cool herself. She was a smitten kitten, and her Pups were yelping.
"You look worse for wear Bear." Caprice sighed, "Sawdust and all... why don't you go on and shower I'll grab one after you're done."
"Thanks! Message Dolan to come get me if he needs help."
"Will do Fuzzy Wuzzy!" Firing off a text CC sets her cell aside to strip out of her waitress uniform. She slipped on an overly thin white nightshirt that had its collar cut away so that it dangled over one shoulder down to her bicep. Her tattoos were completely visible through the material. So were her very lively nipples, areola and all. Comfy shirts were always the best. Hearing the door next to her open up Caprice frowned at herself for making a scene with a girl she didn't even know.
"Hold up!" CC put a shoe in front of her door to prevent being locked out. Stepping out of her own hotel room she caught Britney just before she closed her own door. Brit paused and reopened her door fully. "Hey! I just wanted to apologize for my actions. Truth is, Bear over there's just... getting past a cheating spouse. He and I got stuck together by the town Sheriff for my safety. Clinton's a new Deputy but he hasn't started yet. I'm in hiding over a bad ex situation myself so he's kind of my bodyguard."
"I see." Brit eyed CC's shirt and its transparency with intrigue, "So you know the Sheriff. I just visited with him earlier. My crazy mother is locked up in jail."
Frozen in thought CC shook her head, "Oh, lordy! So, you're Shantel's daughter?"
"You know my mom?" That piqued her interest.
"Know of her really. Mostly about her Bonnie & Clyde act trying to bust out Esteban Amador."
"Oh! The Sheriff is really handsome."
"You think?" CC paused to calculate the girl's emotions. First Clinton was cute, now Dolan? "He's not bad I guess, if you like older men."
"I love older men. I wonder if he found his daughter yet?"
"Let's find out. I just texted Dolan for Bear. In case he needed help searching for her." Motioning her to follow her, Brit shrugged and followed behind that perfect ass back toward the hotel room. Shoe kicked out of the way they entered and shut the door behind them. Brit felt the heat immediately being that much closer to Clinton. Ice bucket still in hand she chose another cube to defeat the heat. Shower running, she knew where Bear was.
Plucking up her cell from a charger Caprice saw a text and opened it. "Says not yet. Getting worried sick with it being dark. His girl has a streaking problem. Her being drop dead cutesy does not help. She's going to get raped. Course from what I hear she's probably okay with that."
"Oh my gosh! She's that bad?"
"Around here that's normal. You should meet my friend Midnight and Nick Sanchez. Nick was the fella that dropped Clinton here at home. He bought a humongous property out in the country along the coastline called Harbinger Shoals. Bear in there has been cutting down trees all day which is why he looked so grungy." Shower stopping as they chatted CC flopped on her Queen bed and patted the mattress next to her. "So, here to take Shantel off of Dolan's hands?"
"I'm calling around in the morning for a psychiatric hospital." Seat accepted she curled one leg under her other on the mattress. "Ice cube?" Puckering CC popped one in her mouth to quench her thirst. "She doesn't even know I'm in town yet. With the Sheriff looking for his kid and my nerves the way they are we thought it would be best to wait until tomorrow before I pull my hair out. Maybe even hers." She giggled lightly. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot! We're friends now I hope."
"I'd like that. To be honest I never really had friends growing up outside of my girlfriend Kitty. Katherine was the daughter of the family that took me in most of my life. Same age but fought like cats and..." She points at a Pound Pup which rested guarding her nipple within the pajama top. "He likes fire hydrants." She laughed.
"Funny girl! I like that. What's your question?"
"Do you always look so radiant even at bedtime?"
"Awww! That's sweet of you. I'm so not ready for bed yet, just need to wind down some. I could really use a beer. Maybe I'll have Bear run and get me a 12 pack at the gas station across the way. I'm supposed to stay in and out of sight." Unlike others! The bathroom door opening out stepped Clinton Biles using a towel in his hair but wearing nothing. Unaware of Britney he spoke up, "All yours Caprice."
"Ready for that massage?" CC cued Brit to remain silent while he was clueless at the moment.
"Stiff as my muscles are I think I'd actually allow that. I'll just put some boxers on."
"Prefer you didn't." Britney took the risk.
"HOLY CRAP!" Clinton covered himself with his towel, his waist too lengthy to tie it up. "You trying to scare the life out of me?" He ducked halfway back into the bathroom.
"Will you just relax Bear? Dolan told me to tell you to stay close to me with Oliver being a douche today. He's got his daddy and the force looking." She patted Britney on the knee. "He's shy. Aren't you Bear?"
"I don't even know this woman."
"You do now." Brit hopped up and went toward him to shake his hand. "I'm Britney Saunders. My mom is Shantel Bigelow."
"Wonderful! So much for my happy ending." He chuckled, "No offense but your momma is out of her mind. Please tell me it doesn't run in the family."
"Not on my dad's side. Matt is pretty levelheaded he just had a drinking problem back in the day. I like to think I'm sane, but again I did swipe Mom's winning lottery ticket just to get away from her."
"Say what?" CC winced with an expression of, "Riiiiiiight!"
"No lie! I hated my mother for what she put me through growing up. Trust me it helped buy me therapy. I'm good to go now. So are these." She reaches beneath her pajama top and drops the pants portion to the floor revealing some really nice silky legs if not a bit thick. "There! If I'm not shy you shouldn't be. I'm not trying to get you in bed or anything, just showing you I'm fine with how both of you are dressed, and not dressed."
"Get out here Bear, stop blocking the cave entrance. Some of us need to cop a squat. Tinkle no sprinkle!" Southern Belle from Hell!
"I better go back to my room. I really don't know why I did that." Brit grows going shy for a moment, "It's just nice to have people to relate with."
"Any good at massages Crazy Baby?" CC giggled.
