"Is that our new weekend place?" Bethany asked.
Bethany, Victoria, and Blaire spent the majority of Sunday, hidden in an area of a public parking lot surrounded by a 10-foot hedge. Butt naked, lying in the sun, in public, for 11 hours.
'If you want it to be. Then sure.' I explained.
All three girls agreed. It was nice, it was quiet, the mild road noise was soothing, they wanted magazines to read next time, a spray bottle of cold water, and definitely a hammock or two. The hammocks would be difficult. Too noisy to build, too large to construct, and too easily seen as we tried to lug them in.
We at steak, salad, and French fries for dinner.
All the sun exposure had made the women tired. Sam too complained he was more tired than usual as he massaged his hands. Blacksmith work must take a while for your hands to get used to.
We were all in bed and asleep by 9pm. How adult of us.
The work week went fast. It was Friday night in no time as we gathered in my office. 'The weather is going to be perfect. All weekend. I'm just saying. This will be our first chance.' I explained.
"Everyone agreed then. Sleep out in the signage. But no flashlights, no campfires, and no loud fucking!" Victoria stated. Glaring at Sam and Blaire. I went down to the store to buy some necessary camping items as everyone else ran home to pack their night time kits.
10 packs of bug repellent packs. 10 packs of mosquito traps, 10 packs of tick repellant, and 10 packs of bee traps. Along with some snacks and drinks to replenish the small fridge. I walked around the parking lot outside of the signage. I hung up the mosquito traps, the bee traps, and made sure they would stay put. I then snuck inside and set up all the repellants.
There was a small amount of bugs in the area due to marshland nearby and I didn't want them to ruin our first night there. I made a mental note to have the marshland sprayed for bugs on the first of each spring and summer months. And I would mount several bug zappers at the front of the store and maybe on a light pole or two in the parking lot. Shoppers hate bugs. Right? Well, that was my justification anyways.
I walked back to my house. I saw Jennifer and Mac were out running. Tiny skintight two piece exercise clothes. So hot. They smiled and circled around me. Jogging slowly asking about my plans.
'We are having a special camp out. At our secret fort.' I told them in a very childish tone.
They laughed and asked, "is it a boy only fort or can we come?"
'You will have to be blindfolded. You are not allowed to see the location. Gather your pillows, sleeping bags, clothes, and camp out stuff. No fire, no flashlights, and no noisy things. Then and only then can you come. Meet me at my house. 10 minutes.' I told them. Again. In my best childlike voice.
Tonight was meant to be a fun night with friends, not a drunken sex romp. We also didn't want to invite anyone who may spoil the secret.
At the house I gathered my kit quickly. Sam was already ready, a big smile on his face, as he stated it reminded him of the boy scouts. But less bullying.
The girls dressed in long sleeve pajamas, they had magazines, books, candy, drinks, and a bunch of other stuff. They had pillows and rolled up sleeping bags. Once ready we waited by the door.
Jennifer and MacKenzie ran up, carrying their kits, and breathing hard. Bethany and Victoria blindfolded them and led them by their hands slowly. We walked around aimlessly, making wrong turns, doubling back, and giving the wrong street names as we went. We wanted them to have no idea where we were going to be.
It was now 11pm. No one was in the parking lot. But cautiously we crept, entered the signage, and locked the gate. We swore Jennifer and MacKenzie to absolute secrecy and explained our location was public, not private, too much noise and we would be caught. Bright lights or fire may also get us caught.
They promised to behave, they walked around the space, peeking through the hedge, checking out the bathroom shed area, and adding their drinks to the fridge.
We all agreed it would have been ideal to have a small fire for smores. But we also ruled it was too risky. Maybe on a night where we had a holiday. The store would be closed. The parking lot was gated and locked. Then I might risk it. July 4th was one of those weekends. It was coming up soon.
We closed at 9pm on the 3rd. We would be closed all day on the 4th. And opened late, at 9am on Sunday. We normally don't chain the parking lot closed for any reason. It looked "Unwelcoming" according to corporate. But I made a command decision.
If tonight went well then, we would do it. More camping out, under the stars, and smores.
We arranged our sleeping bags in a circle. Our heads are in the middle. The 7 of us looked like kids camping out. No adults, food, magazines, and clothes spread out haphazardly. We told stories, jokes, and talked about work.
Jennifer and MacKenzie worked as waitresses at some steak joint. They hated it. The money was good, but they worked almost every afternoon, sometimes as late as 12 pm.
'Why not come work for me? We need cashiers. The schedules are flexible. Or we have other positions open. I think the pharmacy is even looking for assistants. Good pay but lots of paperwork and customer service with lots of problems. Most people hate it because pharmacists don't want to talk to customers, so they dump it on the assistants.' I explained.
"No. That sounds like something I could really make into a career. Is it on your website?" Jennifer and MacKenzie asked.
'Yeah. It should be. Normal business hours, no overtime, lots of on-the-job training, and lots of holidays off.' I stated.
"Careful. The interviews are rough. Blaire and I had to strip naked, masturbate for the boss, and the assistant manager demanded we soak her with piss. Golden shower fetishes are the worst." Bethany stated while we all laughed.
Jennifer and MacKenzie doubted the story, but Victoria told it in its true form.
"Bunch of pervs!" Victoria stated as Jennifer and MacKenzie giggled.
"This does sound like a fun place to work." They stated. We are signing up right now.
They pulled out their smart phones and added their applications online for my store.
'I can nearly 100% guarantee your approval. No drug's in your systems, right? No one's applied for the two open spots in 6 months. So yeah.' I explained.
"Nope. No drugs. We don't do that stuff." They explained.
'Well nearly welcome aboard.' I told them.
The sleep out went perfectly. Like old times when we were kids. Not a care in the world. 6 am and we decided to pack up, pick up our garbage, and sneak out. Victoria, Bethany, and Blaire asked to hang out and lie in the sun for the rest of the day. They didn't have any plans. Sam and I didn't mind.
Jennifer and Mac didn't realize that was an option and asked to stay all day too.
"We will be naked. All day. No leaving until nightfall. Don't you have to work?" Bethany asked.
"No. We quit. We sent our boss an email last night. Even if we don't get hired for a few weeks. We got plenty saved up and still live at home. We will be fine. Besides, it's summer. We won't get these kinds of chances likely ever again." Mac stated.
'Okay. Clothes. Give them to me.' I stated.
I rolled up my sleeping bag and placed it in the shed for storage. I had several others at home, and this was a triple spare. I pulled out the lounge chairs for the women. 5 women. 5 chairs. Lucky coincidence. We also needed more storage. I believed July 4th would be the perfect opportunity for expansion and update my cameras.
The woman got naked, I covered them in suntan oil, and they laid down in the morning sun. I picked up the two bags of clothes, took one last long look at the 5 naked women, and left. It was likely the hardest thing I had ever had to do. Took every ounce of my being to not say fuck it and stay.
I locked the gate, I locked their clothes in the Ford, and I went inside the store. I bought two more storage shed kits, some wiring, some outlets and switches, a metal bunkbed kit with twin mattresses, and a couple of stand-up fans with extension cords.
I walked around and looked in the outdoor section. I found a couple of outdoor games, but we were limited to space and noise. I instead settled on a bunch of board games from our childhood, three medium sized fold out tables, a bunch of camping chairs that fold up, and other accessories like plates and utensils. A number of storage solutions, a garbage can, and bags. I had purchased a lot more then I had intended.
What I had missed was about to turn out to be a very big deal.
The VP!
He was standing at the checkout line, arms crossed, he was wearing his gold polo shirt, and had a very unhappy face.
I tried to be cool. After all I was not working. What could he do to me? What I had I done. I wheeled the three shopping carts of stuff up to the front and stuck it all in an office after I purchased it. I didn't have a car with me, so I was not going to push it all home.
"I caught you. Did you think no one see's what you are doing? Explain yourself." VP stated, angrily.
'Well. I'm not sure how to explain it. It's, it's...' I stammered. Not wanting to give up anything more then he already knew or suspected.
"The hedges. Is that where you go to hide from work? How are you getting all this shit done? Why does everyone love working here? Is it drugs?" he continued. His voice raised louder.
'Okay. Okay. I will tell you. But it's a secret. You can't tell anyone!' I told him.
"I can fire you!" VP stated.
'No. You can't. It's not even a fire able offense. I will tell you everything. But you have to promise not to tell anyone else. Deal? As men.' I stated firmly. My hand held out.
"What if I tell one person. Only one and swear that person to permanent secrecy." VP counter offered.
'Well, if you spill the beans. That person knows the secret. Then they too have to be a part of the club. They cannot be an outsider, know about it, us, and not partake. It's the rules. You will be joining a very secret club. There's only 7 and two more will make 9!' I stated. My hand is still outstretched.
VP rubbed his face slowly, he was acting like he hadn't already decided, and I called him on it.
