As I planned out the weekend getaway with Lauren, with her telling me everything she wanted to do, while I found us a place to stay, we finally settled on a date- the last weekend in January. But, I was starting to worry that she wouldn't be happy about the weekend away when she found out about Taylor and I.
I was telling Taylor about my worries the Friday before I was set to leave with Lauren. We were out on a date and it was our first time being alone since arriving back home from the cruise. I had vowed to myself not to bring up Lauren and to make the night all about Taylor and me, but Taylor had asked about the weekend getaway as we waited for our dinner.
After I told her about my worries, mainly if I should tell Lauren before the trip or wait until after, Taylor said, "Just tell her after. There's no point in ruining what could potentially be an amazing weekend for you two."
"I still feel like I should just cancel. Tell her now. It's not fair to you or her," I said.
"No, Christopher. I've already told you that you should just do it. It's not some crazy test or anything. You two should have your fun and end things when you feel like it's appropriate. I don't want you to start something with me and be looking back with any regrets," she said.
"You're not worried I would cheat on you, are you? Because I would never," I said.
"I know you wouldn't. But, still, I want you to be satisfied," Taylor said.
"Being with you would be satisfying enough," I told her.
"Shut up, cheeseball," Taylor said as the waitress brought our plates.
The day before I was to leave on the trip with Lauren, as I packed a small bag to take with me, I got a phone call from Lauren. "Hey, Lauren. What's up?" I said as I answered the phone.
"Um, nothing too much. Are you busy? Can I run over? I really need to talk to you before we go tomorrow," she said.
I asked if everything was OK and she said that she would explain everything when she came over. I told her of course and that my door was unlocked so she could just come in.
My kids were already at their grandparents house for the weekend so part of me was just hoping that Lauren was coming over to get the weekend started early, since I knew she didn't have her kids either. But, when she walked into my bedroom after I told her where I was when she let herself in, I could see that the look on her face was not one ready for some fun.
"What's wrong?" I asked her as I gave her a hug.
"Nothing. A lot. I don't know anymore," she said.
"That's not what your face says," I told her.
"I know. I'm sorry. I just got some news today and I'm not sure how to feel about it," she said as she took a seat on the bed, watching me folding some clothes to pack.
"About what?" I asked, worried that she found out about Taylor and I.
"While you were gone, Jake got a new job up in Idaho. Luckily, it's close enough that me and him will still be able to move the kids around when it's his time to have them. But, I feel like they should be closer, especially as they get older and get into more activities," she started to explain.
"That makes sense," I told her.
"So, I applied for some jobs up there as well, figuring if I got something, that would be my answer. And today, I got an offer. And it's great. More pay, better hours, super flexible," she said.
"That's awesome," I said.
"Right? I was super excited. I actually accepted it right away. But, after I hung up, I had so many thoughts. I'm pulling my kids away from their friends, their school, and their church. And, the one that surprised me the most with how it's affecting me, I would be moving away from you," she said.
Before I could respond, Lauren continued, "I know that we said that we wouldn't catch feelings for each other and I dont actually know if I have. I just know that I do like having you in my life and would miss you if I moved."
By this time, I had finished packing and had joined Lauren on the bed. Reaching out and putting my hand on her leg, I said, "Lauren, you have to do what's best for you and your kids. I know that moving to a new area would be super scary, especially for the kids, and you hoping that they'll make new friends and fit in. But, like you said, it's not too far from here. You could always drive down for the weekend or a holiday or whatever. With the kids or alone. And I'll always be here for you to call if you need somebody to talk to."
"Thanks, Christopher, I needed to hear that," Lauren said, taking my hand in hers and leaning forward to kiss me. She wiped a tear from her eye and laughed before saying, "Oh man, you must have been so worried about me coming over here, weren't you? Thinking that I had something completely awful to confess?"
I laughed too and said, "Something like that. Either that, or I was hoping that you were just coming over to get the weekend started early."
"You know, that's not a bad idea," Lauren said as she leaned forward and started to kiss me.
We made love that night before I followed her to her house, helped her get her bag into my car, and we drove back to my house, to spend the night together before leaving for our destination the next morning. Since I knew what we would be doing all weekend, I choose for us to stay pretty close, making an hour drive down to Utah's capital, Salt Lake City.
But, also knowing what we would be doing all weekend, I also choose to spend a little bit of money and get us a nice hotel for the weekend. The Grand America hotel was built in downtown Salt Lake City just before the 2002 Olympics, to provide a five-star experience for the amount of people that came into the city. I picked it since it had great reviews, the rooms and bed looked comfortable, and it had good food.
Lauren's favorite restaurant also happened to be in Salt Lake, so we stopped there for lunch before making our way to the hotel in the early afternoon to check in. After we checked in, got up to our room, and put our bags on the dresser in the bedroom with the king-sized bed, Lauren and I wrapped our arms around each other and started to kiss.
After a few minutes, I ended the kiss, spun her around, and wrapped my arms around her waist. With my chin resting on her shoulder and Lauren facing the bed, I said, "I just want you to know, that that bed isn't just for sleeping. I'm going to fuck you in it.'
Lauren smiled as I turned her around and walked her towards the bathroom, with a jetted tub and a shower. "And I'm going to cover you with my cum after you blow me while you take a bath. In the shower, I'm going to bend you over backwards and fuck you."
"Wow," Lauren said as I walked her out of the bedroom and into living room, with love seat and a couch, a massive TV, and a bar.
"And in here, we're going to make great use of those couches. I so can't wait to turn on a movie and have you on your knees, blowing me," I told her as I moved my hand down and placed it in between her legs. Lauren let out a little moan as she opened her legs and I started to rub her groin. "You're going to ride me on both of those couches. And in the bed. Maybe the bathtub too," I told her.
"Where do we start?" She moaned out, leaning her head back as I started to kiss her neck.
"Right here. With you on your knees," I told her as I moved my hand away from her groin, spun her back around in my arms, and kissed her lips before I put my hands on her shoulders and started to push her down.
