Part 2 - Canada Day
Author's Note:
Greetings fellow lover of erotic fiction. This is a sequel to my Summer Lovin' 2018 Contest entry, Tourist Season..
This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to anyone living or dead is purely coincidental. The places in this story are fictitious. I have kept the location purposely vague. Spencerville and Pickerel Falls exist under different names and they are about 300 km apart. The real Bernard Lake is notable as the biggest lake in the world with no islands. Realistically, this could have played out in any small town in Tourist country.
This is a work of fantasy. Time is compressed.
You'll find depictions of various sex acts between consenting adults, both of whom are over eighteen. Most of the sex is pretty vanilla, but remember: vanilla is a pretty great flavour. Be aware that the woman involved in this story is described as thick, substantial, voluptuous, zaftig, ample and chubby. He's a big guy too. If the thought of a confident woman with a large, shapely ass, full thighs, large breasts and a rounded belly having great sex with a burly bear of a man offends you, that's cool, but please stop reading and find a story with characters more to your tastes. This is a mixed relationship. He's Canadian and she's American. There are fireworks, mainly because of the Canada Day/Independence Day shared long weekend!
I'd love to hear what you think, so please leave a comment. Don't forget to vote!
*****
The United States was born in the crucible of war and rebellion, led by men who were not afraid to commit treason against the crown in order to advance the cause of Freedom. The good people of the USA were then promised Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Canada was born after endless meetings between the local government and the Colonial Office in London until the Brits finally threw up their hands and said, "Fine. You're so smart, you run the fucking country. Good luck!" Our Constitution promises Peace, Order, and Good Government.
As the great British philosopher Mick Jagger said, "You can't always get what you want."
By an odd historical coincidence, both nations were founded on a date ripe for a long weekend. In Pickerel Falls, the Canada Day/Independence Day holiday period was celebrated in high style. The local Chamber of Commerce, the Tourist Association, The American Cottagers Association and various service clubs ensure that nobody is left out. There are fireworks on the first and the fourth of July respectively, the Ball and Puck tournament (teams play slow pitch and beer league level hockey for a combined championship), a kid's carnival, a beer garden on the main beach for no particular reason, and the first of three fishing derbies in the area. This one happens to be for largemouth bass.
I was working from my home office over the last week of June in order to get some yard work done in the daylight. Meg texted me on the Monday before Canada Day.
Meg: Leaving West Seneca Thursday @5am. Should be @pickerelfalls before noon. Meet 4 lunch @beanhereb4?
George: Sure. I'm off. Will b working @my cottage on Bernard lk. Will grab a swim an b there @ 11:30
Meg: no tanlines! Sunscreen on ur D. Got new bikini
George: Will it ever see the water?
Meg: Depends. How private is ur cottage?
George: very. Nobody within a half click at least.
Meg followed that up by sending me a picture of her naked boobs.
George: LOL! C U and the girls when U get here. Safe trip <3
Meg:!! <3
I put the phone away without thinking about our conversation too deeply. I was still mesmerized by the image of her tits. I was just about to get on a conference call via Skype, so I was looking for the email invitation when it hit me like a sack of hammers.
Wait. Hang on. Did I just...
... Say I love you?
... First?
... To a beautiful intelligent curvaceous woman (with an absolutely filthy mind and a nuclear grade sex drive) via text message using an emoticon?
...And get one back???
For that matter, do emoticons count? If that had all really happened, then that made me a moron for doing that via text, and a lovesick puppy for doing it so soon, not even counting me being the luckiest guy in the World for getting a heart in return.
I had to talk to Terri. I signed in to the meeting, delivered my information and made excuses to get out in a hurry. I left home and headed to Bean Here Before.
Since we were kids Terri and I have been close. She helped me through my divorce, which was hard for the both of us because she lost a friend in my ex. She was a surrogate mother to my son growing up and she misses him as much as I do (he's a geologist in British Columbia, and gets home about four times a year). I introduced her to Enzo (Manny), and was delighted when they got married.
I needed her advice.
I showed her the texts.
"Well, what do you think?"
"Nice tits. She's not really my type though."
"Be serious Ter," I demanded.
"I am serious. They aren't just big, but they are well shaped and the nipples are perky..."
"Look I'm sorry. I meant to edit that out. Forget her tits." She interrupted before I could say anything else to chastise her. She was enjoying watching her big brother squirm.
"I dunno," she continued, "they are going to be memorable. Are you going to use this picture as a Christmas Card?"
"Are you finished?" I asked, not impressed with her jokes.
"Yeah, I just have to write something on my shopping list." She produced a pen from her t-shirt pocket and a pad of paper from the counter. "Let's see. Milk. Oh, and cream. Okay, I got it out of my system. Where were we?" She teased.
"How badly did I fuck this up?"
"That depends - do you love her, or do you just want to see her tits again?"
"Yes. I mean - no! Will you get off her tits?!"
"You started it," she retorted. "Look, if you love her, or think you do, on top of the lust you feel for her, then I'd say you are the luckiest man in the world. She seems to feel the same way; you did get an emoticon back, after all.
"You've been single for five years. It's time. No more casual fucking anything that moves. You've successfully sowed the wild oats you that didn't when you were younger. Listen: Don't. Fuck. This. Up! I like Meg; she's intelligent, thoughtful, and quirky. And she's gorgeous - I mean those -"
"Don't say it. Okay, so I don't have to worry when she gets here?"
"Not at all. So, let's talk Thursday lunch. I'm thinking about cheeseburgers and poutine for that American-Canadian thing, you know, for the long weekend? With apple pie or butter tarts for dessert."
"Cute. What are you serving to drink with that?"
"Lattes. Oh, and milkshakes."
I sighed audibly. "I'm leaving. See you in a couple of days."

The week dragged. I finished the report I was working on, weeded my veggie garden, cut the grass and abandoned town for my cottage.
I had built the A-frame on the island in Bernard Lake to have a place to get away from it all. The island had never been sold for a cottage because the local utility company refused to run a power line to it. City folk and locals both want all the comforts of home at their wild retreats. I put up solar panels for lighting, haul propane for the fridge and stove, and have no TV, satellite or Internet. I have a battery operated radio for weather and the baseball scores, with lots of books.
Most of all, I have solitude.
The cottage is nestled on the south side of the island, hidden in a stand of rare red spruce trees. The cabin is so well hidden that I'm am told people wonder why an uninhabited island has a dock.
The north end of the lake is kind of remote. I don't get many visitors. The north side of my island has a sandy beach leading to a shallow swimming area. It's always been a natural place for skinny-dipping.
I was jumpy Thursday morning. I was supposed to be clearing brush for a new pump house, but I was hesitant to start the chainsaw or pick up the axe. I cleaned instead; it's hard to injure yourself with a vacuum cleaner or a mop. Funnily enough, I tripped over the vacuum cleaner cord and stepped in the mop bucket, splashing the dirty water in my eyes. I decided that the place was clean enough after I tidied up the mess I had made while attempting to fix up the cottage in the first place.
I took a dip on my beach, dried in the sun, and got dressed. I'm a big guy. I usually don't spend much time sunning on a public beach. Meg has inspired me to spend a lot of time naked at the cottage. She seems to appreciate my body. I'm getting used to it.
My boat isn't as nice as Meg's. I have a pontoon boat that I use for almost everything. With a cooler, a storage locker and a portable BBQ I can fish all day. It gets me anywhere between Pickerel Falls and Spencerville reasonably quickly. I can haul anything from a bag of groceries to furniture and appliances to lumber and concrete.
The only thing I can't do is ski.
And that's not the boat's fault.

I arrived at Bean Here Before at 11:00. Meg was already there, talking with Terri, Becky from the Gas Station, and Charlie's Assistant Manager, Adrianna, from the Marina. They were talking to, or rather, at Charlie. I stepped up to the table.
"Dammit, Charlie! That guy is the cousin of the President of the Cottagers' Association. Why do you have to be such an asshole?" my delicate flower of a sister said lovingly to her colleague from the Chamber of Commerce. Her face was nearly as flaming red as her hair.
"He started it! He's an idiot. He doesn't know an outboard from an outhouse and he tries to tell me that my prices are too high? I don't have time for people that dumb! He can go buy one from Dipak in Spencerville."
"What? You have lots of time for idiots. What about that brain surgeon from Toronto you hired to run the ice cream stand at the Marina? What's her name? Candi? Bunnies? No, Bambi! " Becky commented.
"What do you mean?" Asked Charlie, incredulous.
"You remember hiring her, I'm sure," said Adrianna. "She showed up to the interview in a micro miniskirt that was a half size too small and a tank top that was a size and a half too big. Between you trying to figure out how much the skirt would cover her butt when she bent over and trying to see her boobs fall out of the top as she breathed, I'm sure you remember her," she said sarcastically.
