Real Love
by MDSW©
Chapter 23
Writer's Notes:
'Real Love' is my personal tribute to JammyJimmy's (JJ) story, 'Threads: The Island'. I give JJ credit, because credit is due, for this story and for my own inspiration and entrance into writing. 'Real Love' is actually the first story I wrote, even before 'Tale of Two Teens', my first published story.
As I was writing this story way back when, I was hoping JJ would be the editor. Having been unable to make contact with him, I have been reluctant to release it. Some say JJ has passed away, but I don't know. JJ, if you read this and want this story removed, please contact me. Several readers have relayed to me, both publically and privately, that they would like it released.
Therefore, 'Real Love' is an unauthorized, reimagined rewrite and sequel to JJ's story, 'Threads: The Island'. The general storyline in JJ's story is embedded in this story. Several of the character names have been changed because this is my story. Anyone who has read JJ's story will identify the characters quickly, starting with my main character, Bradley Weber, formerly known as Kyle Watson in JJ's story.
This story is long, but tolerant and filled with several emotions. If you stick with it, you will experience euphoria, happiness, sadness, sorrow and it will make you horny. You'll be disgusted, pissed off, scared and you'll grieve, cry, frown, smile and sometimes, you'll laugh, I hope.
'Real Love' starts off slow, but gains speed with age. Feel free to leave comments about what you like and what you dislike about the story. Feedback is a good thing for those writers who want to know what reader's like and dislike about their stories.
Please don't be mean in the comments because those that put in many hours over a period of several months, and thought into designing and writing these stories don't appreciate it, nor do they deserve it.
I do hope you enjoy the 'Real Love' series. Just don't forget one important detail -- it's fiction. Please do give us 'not so professional' writers a little slack.
JJ, wherever you are, whatever you're doing, fair winds and following seas my friend.
Let the saga of Bradley Weber continue...

When they wake up the next morning, they're ready for more sex, but the alarm goes off and changes the plan. They have no choice but to get on with the day ahead. Brad hopes this trip home will be the best trip the Packard team will ever take as a team.
Since they are up early in the morning, they are excited about the trip to see family and friends again. Brad is especially looking forward to the surprise he has in store for Kelly.
The first planned social only trip has arrived and the departure went off as planned. Peggy and Stacy are recovering well from the bomb he laid on them two days prior, a good thing for Brad and the Packard Empire.
Overall, the trip to the parents is designed to be fun, to forget about the burden of the corporate office for a while. Rick and Nikki are feeling affectionate and it's evident. They're in love and all they want to do on this trip is to get naked and fuck. This is like a honeymoon for them. On this vacation, they can be themselves without fear of company rules or getting fired, or of anyone else's opinion. They're happy together and it shows. Their affection is contagious, and others have noticed.
In New York, Stacy introduces the team to her family. Peggy has an instant connection to her sister's family, as does the whole team. Stacy tells her parents that Kelly is Brad's girlfriend and they're in love. Her parents are pleased to hear it as they stand before them arm in arm with smiles on their faces.
Rick and Nikki soon separate and go off on their own as the rest of the team stays and enjoys Stacy's family. There's a nearby hotel which most of the team stays in and Rick and Nikki also stay there and spend lots of time in bed. They also see other places in the area that interests them. The team is having a great time with Stacy's parents and engage with them the entire stay. Kelly stays close to Brad and is seriously affectionate with her lover.
All too soon, it's off to Texas and it's a similar reception. His parents are very pleased to see Kelly again. They also fall in love with Stacy and Peggy, and talk with them for a long time. Debi isn't left out, either. She willingly joins in and tells her life story, but Brad didn't hear it. His parents are also informed Kelly is Brad's girlfriend now and they're in love. His parents are extremely pleased to hear that and hugs are handed out freely. They like Kelly very much from early phone calls and the first trip. Rick and Nikki are introduced and they spend some time talking with the family, then go off on their own.
Brad, noticing his team is fully engaged with his family, takes the opportunity to slip away and visit a jewelry store without anyone knowing he left. Pure luck. He found the 'knock your socks off' engagement ring at the first jewelry store he visits, as luck has it. It's a one in a million find. He buys the ring, takes it home, sneaks back in the house with nobody seeing him and buries it in the luggage, hoping Kelly doesn't find it.
Overall, Brad, Peggy and Stacy are welcome in both families, telling them at anytime if they want to visit, to just call and let them know. Rick, Nikki, Kelly and Debi are also included in the invitation. The whole team feels comfortable with Brad's parents and, even though Debi is working, she also enjoys herself.
Kelly and Brad are getting deeper into each other as their relationship blossoms. As each day passes, it seems they fall deeper in love. Debi keeps telling them how happy she is for them. Every chance she gets, she gives them random, individual and group hugs. She's doing what she came on the trip to do -- share the experience with them.
As they depart Texas, everyone is thinking they're on their way back to the Island. Nobody has any reason to suspect anything different. The only people on the plane that know where they're headed is Brad, Debi... and the pilots.
Thinking they have landed near the Island, they get off the private jet. It's raining at the time and Brad holds Kelly so they're the last to deplane. Brad continues to hold her in the plane kissing and squeezing her after everyone else has left so Debi can get the group organized for their arrival. He takes hold of Kelly's hand, lacing his fingers in hers as they exit the plane. He grabs an umbrella with his other hand as they head out the door and down the steps.
She's looking down, watching every step, as he does. As they reach the tarmac, she barely gets a glimpse of the surroundings before Brad lowers the umbrella closer to them to keep the rain off, which limits her vision of the area. He slows the walk, wanting the rest of the team to get into position inside the VIP room ahead of them.
With Rick, Nikki, Stacy and Peggy standing just inside the door, Debi holds it open as Brad and Kelly reach the door. Kelly starts into the doorway before Brad as he passes the umbrella to Debi.
Just as she's about to enter the doorway, Brad says, "Kelly."
She turns her head to look at him.
"I have a surprise for you."
"What is it Baby?" she says with a smile forming.
Brad places his hands on either her side of her face while he keeps her moving inside, walking her backward. Kelly moves her arms around Brad and holds him. Debi closes the door, ditches the umbrella and takes a position with the rest of the Packard team with a big smile on her face as Brad gives Kelly a quick kiss.
"Not what, who."
Then he places his hands on her shoulders as she releases him, spins her around and returns his hands to her shoulders.
There they are, all six of them. Her family is staring at her. Two parents, one sister and three brothers. It's a total surprise for her and for everyone else when they discover they landed in her hometown of Columbus, Ohio, not near the Island as they thought.
Shocked, her mouth falls open and her hands cover it. She immediately spins around, facing Brad, with a look of total surprise. Then she wraps her arms behind his neck and profusely cries and convulses. Brad holds her tight. He feels she's getting weak to the point he thinks it best to hold her up. He sweeps her into his arms as she buried her face into his neck, still crying, as he holds her for a couple minutes.
Then he kisses the top of her head, but she continues to cry. She can't stop.
"I love you Angel," Brad whispers to her, not knowing if she heard it.
He carries Kelly the short distance to her family and puts her on her feet in front of her parents. She embraces them and, as Brad steps back, the other family members surround her in a group hug. She's still crying and for the longest time, all she does is hug her family.
Brad steps back and joins the Packard team as they just watch. With tears in their eyes, Brad puts an arm on Debi's shoulders.
He looks at her and says, "We did good Debi. We did good."
Debi nods her head in agreement and says, "Yes Brad, we did good."
Then she gives Brad the hug he so desperately needs. This is long overdue. Even Brad is touched by the emotions from Kelly's family. Rick, Nikki, Stacy and Peggy join Debi, all giving Brad a hug, a well deserved hug, and they stay like that.
It must have been fifteen minutes later when Kelly begins the task of introducing the Packard team to her family. Brad's eyes suddenly light up as the introductions begin. She introduces Stacy, then Nikki, then Peggy, then Rick, then Debi and finally, Brad.
With tears in her eyes, Kelly moves beside Brad, takes his hand in hers, and says, "Mom and dad, this is my boyfriend, sorry, my man friend, Brad..."
