FRIDAY
"So you know what to do...?" said the young businessman, looking very much out of place. He was standing in the small yard of the cabin he owned, on 80 acres of forest adjoining the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. He was wearing a red flannel shirt (pressed neatly), bandana around his neck, cap on smartly, brand new hiking pants and hiking boots. Actually the pants and boots were not brand new, it's just that he took great care to never get them dirty. His name was Maxwell, but out here he preferred Mack. It sounded more woodsy.
She sat on the porch wearing a red flannel shirt also (kinda Mack's uniform for the place), and gardening pants and cowboy boots. "Yes, Sir." she said, in a matter-of-fact manner. "Same as always. Guide the guests on nature hikes. Teach them about area wildlife; footprints, scat, all that. Teach them to cook over the fire. Fishing lessons, if the want them. Light chores so they feel they're getting a real woodsy roughing-it type experience." She readjusted her strawberry blonde ponytail as they conversed.
"Perfect." I expect them late afternoon. Six men on a business retreat. Leader's name is Danny. Coming from New York, so likely to need a lot of guidance.
She missed everything after "six men". "Six men" set her mind awhirl. She remembered well the last time that six men had stayed at the cabin, and the evening cookout they had. She wore a red flannel shirt that night too, but different from the one she wore today. That one was XXXL, which draped to the knees of her S/M frame. With the neckline unbuttoned, it would drop right off both shoulders and straight to the ground. She smiled, thinking about that, a muggy day not unlike this one, an evening with six men around the campfire, when she sashayed to center and popped the last button. She wasn't sure what hit the ground first, her shirt or the men's jaws. Yeah; that was a great night.
"So I'll be going." Mack continued. "You can call me on the landline if you need help or if any problem comes up."
"You would be plumb worthless" She thought. But "Yes, Sir." is all she said.
As Mack drove away, Charlene went through her mental checklist of preparations. A couple little things to do with the linens, then she would be free to pass her time in the garden until the guests arrived. "Six men. Mmmm" She rubbed her crotch as she went in.
It wasn't so very long til she could hear a car coming. Earlier than she expected, but OK, since all the truly necessary preparations were completed. She stood in the garden leaning on her hoe, and waited for the guests.
Soon a hummer pulled in, and a solitary man emerged; average height, light hair, solidly built, virile age.
She pondered for a moment, "Mack said there would be six. I guess I just assumed they were arriving together."
The man stretched from his long drive.
"But, I like the look of this one." She smiled to herself. "Might be worth giving the 'private tour'". She absently reached up and popped the top two snaps of her shirt.
He took a few steps toward the cabin, then stopped, glancing all about. Apparently she had thus far escaped his notice.
"Welcome to Tennessee!" She called out from the garden, with a broad smile and a sweet voice."
He turned about quickly. "Oh. Hello." He tugged at his collar and sleeves. "It's quite humid here."
"Welcome to TENNESSEE!" She called out again.
"Yes. Thank you. I think." He approached her and the garden. "This is a beautiful place. Are you the caretaker? My name is Rob. I was expecting a fellow named Mack."
She gave a firm handshake and announced "Mack owns it. I run it. I'm Charlene."
Did he imagine it, or did she wince momentarily when she stated her name as Charlene?
"Charlene. I don't mean to be unkind, but isn't that name a bit, uh,...."
"Regional?"
"Stereotypical."
Charlene laughed. She was liking Rob more and more already. "Can you keep a secret?" Then without waiting for an answer, "My real name is Jill. But Mack thinks Charlene fits the 'hillbilly cabin' scenario better than Jill."
"So in order to make the weekend more AUTHENTIC, Mack gives you a FAKE name?" Rob asked incredulously.
"Ha ha! Yes. 'fraid so. Mack is a little peculiar".
Rob changed the subject. "Danny called me a while back. It will likely be another two hours before he and the others arrive."
"I see."
"Is it OK if I wait on the porch?"
"Sure. Or inside. Or feel free to poke around the place."
He sat in a rocker on the porch, and she went back to weeding the corn patch. She noticed him watching her, and she truly was something to see (5'8", sleek but solid, curvy where she ought to be) so she threw in some unnecessary bends and stretches for his entertainment. After some 10 minutes or so, he was back up, pacing.
She came to him and said. "I don't want you to be bored. Or uncomfortable. I could show one one of the shorter trails here abouts, if you would care to hike."
"Sure. That would be nice." He smiled at her, then went to his hummer to dig out his hiking boots. Mere moments later, he was ready to go. She had likewise gone to her ATV and changed from cowboy boots to hiking boots. She also, while alone, managed to slip off her bra from beneath her shirt. She stored it in one of her cowboy boots. She then took the first aid kit from her ATV, slung it over her back, and was ready to go.
To begin, they walked along the long edge of the garden. "All of the vegetables you'll eat while you're here will be coming from this garden. You all will harvest them yourselves. For meats, we buy from our neighbors, so you'll taste maybe venison, groundhog, bear, FRESH bacon,..."
At the end of the garden, they turned deeper into the holler, and then up the near slope. "Trail starts here" and she started ascending. Rob followed closely at first, afraid of getting separated amongst the brush. But gradually, as he got more comfortable, he lagged to be about 5 yards behind, all the better to watch her curvy ass wiggle and flex just ahead of him. "She's quite a beauty, under that flannel and nylon.
"You'll find hiking is an excellent way to burn off pent-up energy. Intense exertion followed by blissful relaxation." She called back to him.
"You just described sex." He thought with a grin.
He paused to roll up his sleeves.
"It gets cooler higher up." Charlene said, answering his unasked question.
Reaching a small flattop, they paused for a moment, he with hands at hips to catch his breath, her sitting on a rock with her knees up to her chin. As he scanned the woods in all directions, he heard her say "you mind if I unzip my pants?" quickly followed by two loud zipper noises. Not believing his ears, he whirled about to see his guide zipping off the legs of her hiking pants, converting them into shorts. Very short shorts.
"Whew!" She said. "That feels a whole world better." She flung the two pant legs over a low tree branch. "I'll pick these up on our way back out."
Her slender legs were tanned and toned and Rob could not help but stare. "Is there a problem?" she asked with a grin.
"No. Oh no. Certainly not." He said, not wanting to confess the tightening at the front of his jeans as being a problem.
