These are not "Stand alone" Chapters. I suggest reading from the beginning.
Part seven of eight: Is this, the one?
This story is the product of a diseased and febrile mind. As such, it is fiction. Having said that; All my stories are true, even the ones I make up.

The sun had been up for sometime when I woke up. I had to work at getting out from under the covers. I finally did, without waking her.
I made coffee and gathered the makings for breakfast, then put away the blankets on the couch. I took her jeans, bra and blouse in and set them on the chair by the bed.
I took my coffee on the porch and lay back.
A kiss on my forehead woke me up. She had filled my cup from the pot and brought it back. Then she relaxed on the lounge next to mine. We lay there for at least a half-hour, Silent.
The phone rang I answered the one on the porch.
"Hello?... Yes I know, the owner said it would be removed this morning... Quite alright, thanks for calling. Bye."
Bonnie said. "I guess I should get moving on that now." She sat up swinging her feet to the floor.
"I know a guy, he's reasonable."
"Okay."
I called a friend and arraigned for him to come out. I said. "We have enough time for breakfast and then we should wait out there."
"I am hungry." Her smile lit up my world.
We only sat there with the gate open for a few minutes for my friend to show. It took him only a few seconds to open the trunk, her keys were laying right there on the trunk floor. He only charged her $20, because she was a friend of mine. She had that in her purse. He took off, another call on down the road.
I had brought a socket set and in just a few minutes I had her spare on and everything put away. I made up a list of things she should do today, her tire fixed, a cross bar for the lug nuts, two magnetic key holders, and duplicate keys made. At the bottom I wrote my phone number.
She took off for town to get everything done. I closed the gate and went back, to sleep on the porch.
I was just thinking about lunch when the phone rang. "Hello?"
"Hi, Kyle?"
"Hi Bonnie. Good to hear your voice."
"Could I come over and use your shower?"
"Sure, come on over."
"What about the gate?"
"I left it unlocked."
"You knew I'd call didn't you?"
"I had hoped you'd call, or check the gate. Just close it when you come in, don't lock it unless you are staying past dark."
"Is that a specific invitation?"
"That's up to you, I won't pressure you."
"I'll be over. Bye."
"Bye."
I started lunch, just simple heat up stuff. She came in as I set two places and the food. She ate like she was hungry. I cleaned up while she took a shower. Then I took a shower. It was quite warm on the porch I wore shorts and a t-shirt, She had on slacks and a blouse. We lay there silent for a long time, then the phone rang.
"Hello?... Hi mom... Oh sure, I'll be over. Hang on a sec mom."
"Would you like to visit with my parents tomorrow for lunch Bonnie?"
"Well... Ok."
"Hey mom can I bring a friend?... No mom, just a friend... Ok I'll see you."
She laughed. "Moms are all the same, aren't they."
"If they are truly moms, they have to be." We both were looking out, but stealing glances at one an other.
"I'm having second thoughts now though." She said.
"About going?"
"Yes."
"Don't, they're good people, mom is a likable person."
After a few moments she said. "Well... Ok. Did you have anything planed for today?"
"Not really, I usually have a few beers and nap a little. There's the TV and a few movies on DVD. I have a selection of games in the hall. Then there's food."
"Sounds like a full day. Do you drink a lot?"
"No not usually, it comes and goes. I do have a tendency to drink more when its cooler."
She sighed. "I'd like to get drunk, really drunk, some place where it's safe." She was rubbing her hands palm to palm.
"Go home then." I said.
"No I'd like to get drunk here. I know you enough it won't matter. My 'sisters' have recommended you. May I please?"
"Ok. No promises though."
She brought out two beers, I figured I could at least start with her.
We drank several cans without saying much.
"What do you do for work Bonnie?" I really did want to know more about her. The outside was nice, really nice. But it's the inner person, the personality that's really important.
"I'm a substitute teacher, math, English and Phys Ed. I took the semester off."
"I thought you were in pretty good shape."
"Do you want to see?" Again that look of challenge.
"Maybe later, it's still cool out here." I deflected the challenge.
"Did you really sit out here with two naked females lying in front of you?" She was smiling, again a challenge, she had seen the pictures.
"Yes, this is where they were working, collecting data. It gets to 110F/43C out here early in the morning. Being naked is a requirement."
"It must have been quite a game for you." She half turned to me on her lounge.
"Bonnie, these girls were serious about their work, that came first. I felt honored when one of them would make time for me, and we were just as serious about sex as work."
"I didn't mean to imply anything, I'm a little jealous I guess."
"No need for that, they're history, you are here now. Ready for a refill?"
"I will be real soon."
I filled an ice chest with ice and beer, no real need to make a lot of trips. She didn't seem to need many bathroom trips.
"Oh, thanks. What do you do Kyle?" She was setting up again.
"I'm a machinist in Willcox." I moved my lounge upright too.
"Oh yeah. You make little parts so somebody can put them together to make bigger parts."
"Normally that's true, but I machine parts as big as this porch."
"Wow, are you talking solid parts?"
"No. These are just big and hollow."
"That's still a lot of metal, they are metal aren't they?"
"Cast steel about 50-grand raw, 135-grand out the door."
"Your talking money not pounds right?" She was on another can now.
"Yes, weight-wise they come in at around thirty tons, and leave at about twenty-five."
"So you remove 10,000 pounds of cast steel on each?"
"About that."
"Wow, m' dad's a machinist. He has a few 'chines at home, I used to help him out once 'nd a while."
"Then you know more about it then most people."
"I s'pose."
...
"Do you drink a lot, Bonnie?"
"No, My ex-friend liked ta though. He thought I had ta be 'alf drunk before he stuck it in me. Maybe he was right."
...
"So you felt used even before you knew he was married?"
"Yea, I think I knew from ta start, he was married. I just ing... inig... icknord it until he tol me. I gota pee."
I helped her up and watched her navigate into the house. She sat on the couch inside. So I went into see why. She was trying to take her shoes off.
"Why are you trying to take your shoes off just to pee?" I asked.
"Ahh... Oh, so I can git my pantsoff, you'd better do it."
