All characters are over eighteen years of age. Any similarity to any person alive or dead or undead is strictly prohibited because it is all fiction. This is a fantasy, and any small break from reality should be welcomed, not challenged. Its a story. There is sex between characters some of them are related to each other, and if that bothers you stop reading now. BTW, I really do own a real timeshare in Cape Cod. Everything else is a pure fantasy. Remember: Tongue In Cheek
Several years ago, when I was still married to my ex-wife, we had been at her parents' timeshare up in Cape Cod. It was a lovely vacation. Then the management of the place asked my father-in-law to come down for a half-hour chat. Well, I heard that, and I got all upset. The man is very nice, but he's 77 years old, and I don't like it when people try to take advantage of him.
I told my wife, "I'll go with him and keep him from signing anything or them taking his money."
She said, "No, I'll wind up bailing you out of jail for punching one or more of them. I'll go down and take care of it. Half hour tops."
So an hour goes by. Then another hour goes by. Finally, after 2 1/2 hours, my wife calls me, "Bob...You're gonna be mad at me."
"Whyyyy am I gonna be mad at you?" I asked. Uh-oh.
"I bought us a timeshare." she said sheepishly.
"You did WHAT? You did NOT buy a timeshare! No, no, NO! Please tell me you did not buy a fuckin' timeshare!" So she came back to the room to talk about it.
"It was an excellent deal, Bob. They offered it to my father because Dad's been here for 35 years, and they couldn't very well offer it to him and then not offer it to me, sitting 12 inches away and also being his daughter." She seemed very well rehearsed. Hmm.
"How much?" I asked. I waited for the bad news. I cringed.
"It cost eleven thousand. That's actually cheap. If it were for sale to the general public, it would be about sixteen-five. We're getting it for the balance due. Somebody had to sell it quickly. Please, Bob?!" She gave me the look. You know the look. I melted. She was able to manipulate me with her eyes alone.
"What's the catch?" There's always a catch because it seemed like it was too good a deal.
"The catch is, it doesn't look outside; it overlooks the indoor pool." What? I thought. That's not too bad. "The window actually overlooks the hot tub," she explained why it was cheaper.
"That's it? That's all that's wrong with it?" I was a bit leery of such a good deal. The fact that it overlooked the indoor pool was somewhat irrelevant, as we spent most of our vacation out and about, on the beach, or lounging around the pool.
Directly below the window was the hot tub, perhaps fifteen feet away. For a man, there are worse things than having to watch scandalously tiny bathing suits on lovely women going into a big hot tub. Yeah, what a terrible inconvenience! I think most guys would have paid extra for the unit.
"They seem to be in a bit of a hurry to sell it, as it's the end of the quarter, and the end of the month, if they don't sell it now, it affects their bonus. They want to sell it today. They even offered us cheap financing." She seemed very pleased with herself. Like she found a crown jewel for a buck.
"Terms?" I asked, expecting her to say something horrible.
"$1000 down and about $175 a month for ten years. We do have to pay maintenance fees every year and taxes."
"That's not so bad," I said. "We spend more than that on movies. What week is it?"
"The week right after my folk's timeshare week. We could spend two weeks here, just change rooms. Or we could trade for ... well, anywhere." She explained her reasoning.
"Ok, ok, you did good. I guess I'm signing the contract and paying the money?" I was about to plunk down a big chunk of cash.
But it did have an actual deed, that was recorded in the courthouse and everything. She was so happy that I wasn't angry and had actually complimented her. She was basking in her glory. Of course, she was delighted. I was gonna pay for it. For ten years! Well, there are worse things in life than going to a nice resort every year.
"You're the best husband." Yeah, she said that... And I'm sure she meant it at the time. Too bad nothing lasts forever. Goodwill and happiness are so fleeting and should be cherished. You should love your mate with all your heart. She had a happy look on her face as I wrote the thousand-dollar check and I signed the papers.
I was breathless, and she almost killed me that night. She almost fucked me to death. That woman was so beautiful and hot, hot, hot. Things were going great, and we were both thrilled. So very happy. But all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately, my marriage was one of those good things.

Too bad everything went to shit two years later. Divorce. Yelling and screaming. Cursing. Lawyers. It just sucked, and not in a good way. It felt like an emotional train wreck, without all the twisted steel but with plenty of explosive emotions.
For those keeping score, there was no infidelity, we just wanted different things out of life, and we hated each other. It was either divorce or murder. Divorce seemed easier. Although sometimes I thought murder would have been more straightforward.
After a while, though, since we were separated, we actually got on better terms with each other. We were not on each other's nerves. We were not in each other's faces. We spoke quietly and even had dinner together once in a while... for the kids' sake. I grabbed her ass, and she then actually giggled. But she had moved on. There would be no reconciliation. We were done. Finito.
"So sorry, you lost your license for that anymore." she protested as she removed my hand from her ass. She still had a great ass! It just wasn't mine anymore. She made that plain.
"You still love it! Dirty girl," I replied, but she wasn't giving me any. So no sex, but at least she was not threatening to kill me anymore. I'm pretty sure that she found a guy to provide her with sex. At least she did not still hate me. That's an improvement, right? So I was a single dad. Or maybe not. It depends on your point of view.
We did have a problem. What do you do with a timeshare? I get to pay for it. My name is on the contract. So... I get even years; she has odd years. Really not bad except for the matter of the maintenance fees. It was $500 due every New Year's Day. Kind of a pain. The place is charming and clean. It overlooks the indoor pool, which is excellent for lecherous me. What a great view! I am actually happy with the purchase now that I have used it a few times.

I was excited to go to the timeshare. My daughter Pamela and her BFF Lorrie were both going with me, and we were going to have an excellent time together.
She was eighteen, and this was her last vacation as a kid. She was just growing up so quickly. By next year she would be nineteen and off to school or a job, or both. She was my baby no longer, except in my eyes. In my eyes, she would always be my baby.
Unfortunately, at the very last minute, Pam could not go. Her damned part-time job was giving her grief!
I was furious, and I was going to call her job and raise hell, but I got a call from Pam's therapist. Pam's job was really helping her depression, and I was told please don't make trouble for her with her job. My ex-wife called me and echoed the same request. Don't rock the boat. Do not call those fuckers at her job. I am so mad!
So I relented. It pissed me off royally that I would not have my daughter on her last vacation as a kid. I was not going to just take her eighteen-year-old friend, though Lorrie wanted to go despite my daughter canceling! That would have been an interesting conversation to have with her folks! Her mom really, as she was a single mother.
So I am going to go alone. Well, a couple of weeks off from work, a little R and R is not too bad. I was going to miss my daughter. It kinda sucked. I even invited the ex, but she wisely declined. I guess her new boyfriend would not allow it.
