Chapter One - A Week in a Broad
"This is it," said Alice from the passenger seat. The little circle on her smartphone's GPS app had no more blue line to follow along the satellite map. The two of you had driven for twenty-five miles through the countryside to spend the week together in your parents' summer home. Your father had just bought it last September from an old woman (or old ghoul, as he put it) who had been living there alone since the Depression. Your parents vacationed there last winter.
She was a strange one, your father said. She wouldn't talk much, except that the house had given her nothing but pain. The house was dilapidated too, but it had cost him almost nothing. And it wasn't too far away. If it were fixed up properly, you and Alice could come again next Spring for your honeymoon.
The land certainly was beautiful. The sky was overcast like a blank canvas, and the fog had just lifted from the ground, covering it with dew and filling the air with the smell of moist earth.
"Air sure is a lot clearer out here," said your betrothed as she shut the car door. You love the way her voice gets whenever she's excited. The two of you share a love of the outdoors, and the thought of having a little secluded spot in the countryside to go to for privacy made your heart thump too. "Oh, and the house is just adorable too."
You could see the little blue house (not on the prairie) through your windshield. It was a fixer-upper, but the paint still held and there weren't any holes or anything.
You step out of your side of the car, planting your foot in the gravel lot. Alice was right, the air did feel great. You regret not having your windows open on the drive here. There was obviously no parking lines over here, so you just parked a little ways off from the fence gate. It felt kind of dumb pulling the key for it out of your pocket when the fence was in such bad condition anyone could have just jumped over it.
"Wait," Alice said. "Let's take a picture."
Smiling in agreement you pull your phone out from your pocket and held it up. Your fiancΓ©e instinctively leaned against the one remaining nice part of the fence and posed. She had a low-neckline long-sleeved T-shirt with black and white sailor stripes, tight black denims and ankle-high boots. She rolled her sleeves up to her elbows so it didn't go over her fingers, and fixed up her mussy, shoulder-length, jet black hair.
Her little pixie face lit up in that smile you've seen a thousand times before but had never lost its charm on you. She was still the cutie you met in college. Her green eyes twinkled as her lips arched up in a pouty smile. With the blank sky and little blue house, and green grass that stretched on forever to serve as her backdrop, you snap the perfect shot.
Hearing the audible click, she got off the fence and walked over. You palm the phone to her. "It's perfect. I'll make it my profile picture. Send it to me?"
You look at the 4G symbol on your phone. Facebook. Upload. Right.
There's no wifi here, so you couldn't use the internet for very long without drying up the data plan.
'Oh stop thinking like that you idiot,' you tell yourself. You've got a week alone with the most beautiful woman in the world and you're thinking about your computer? There should be lots to do in this place. Hopefully the beds are all in good condition, you smile devilishly.
Almost as if to agree, your girlfriend turned her head back at the house. "Come on, let's go inside already!"
"Ho'd up," you announce in faux-bonics as you turn back to the car. You open the trunk, exposing the several bags of crap your parents forced you to bring, along with your regular luggage.
"Work before play, I'm sorry to say," you rhyme lamely as you gesture towards the trunk. Alice groans softly as she paces over to help you. "Don't remind me..."
You hand her the backpacks and light items, leaving the suitcases, paint cans and bags of tools for yourself.
"What's the red paint for?" Alice asks, curiously, strapping on a backpack.
"Dad says I gotta repaint the outhouse."
"Are you serious?!" Her emerald eyes open wide in horror.
"Just kidding. It's the toolshed. We've got indoor plumbing, don't worry."
She gives you a bemused 'are you kidding me?' look before snatching the house and gate keys from your hand. You shut the trunk closed and pick up your heavy shit while she leads the way. She was still smiling, so your little joke had only tickled her a bit. You've never actually seen her mad before.
