I called my boss Saturday evening and told him I had some personal business to attend to and I needed at least one whole week off of work.
"You've got to be crazy Honey!" he screamed. "There is the new girl to be trained and files to be finished, what are you thinking? I just can't give you a week off of work."
I sighed; I knew this was how the conversation was going to go.
"Look Frank, you are the boss, remember? Frank Howard Productions, not Honey do this and Honey do that productions. You train the new girl, and I'll be back in a week or two."
"Jesus Honey, you've put me on a limb here, first it was a week now it's two? I can't do it Honey, you don't come in Monday morning you're fired."
"I knew you were gonna do that. Consider this my resignation then Frank, because I quit."
"You can't quit you ingrate, I need you in here!" Frank screamed at me over the phone.
"Oh, so I can't quit because you need me, but you can fire me? How does that work?"
"Fine, Honey, you quit."
"Yup, I do Frank, I quit. Have a nice life."
I hung up the phone and looked at Zane.
"Well, that went well." Zane said.
I rolled my eyes at him and went to the kitchen to get something to eat. Alex would be home tomorrow night; I'd already called and let him know what was going on.
"I told you she was trouble. From the minute I laid eyes on her I knew something was wrong with that girl." He'd told me on the phone.
Just to fill you in a little, Zane was now living with myself and Alex because Zane and I had a three-some with his 18 year old neighbor that lived downstairs, she went nuts on us and in the middle of the night we made a break for it and Zane lives here now. Alex was out of town when it happened, and Alex is still out of town until tomorrow evening. Caught up? Great, I knew you would be.
Zane and I hung out over the next 24 hours, nothing freaky nothing sexual, just two friends, who when they went to bed, they shared the same bed and cuddled all night long, great huh? Yeah, I thought so too.
We spent most of Sunday afternoon preparing a great feast for Alex when he got home, Zane wasn't much of a cook, but I was pretty good. When Alex finally got home we all ate, he showered and headed to bed. I was propped up on the couch reading a book, and Zane was working on some stuff on his computer when my cell phone rang. It was nearly midnight, who the hell could it be? My cousin Holly was on the phone. She lives in Miami and is a complete nut; But in a good way. For the past few months she'd been trying to get me to come down and see her. I kept refusing because I couldn't get the time off of work. I'd called her earlier to tell her I'd taken some time off of work and see how'd she'd been doing but I got her machine. I guess as soon as she thought I might run down there she called me right back, usually it took a month or more to get a call back from her.
"Honey! How are you girl?" She all but screamed into the phone.
"I'm good Holly how are you?"
"Oh, you know how I do it; I'm chilling and getting it done."
"I heard that girl, so I take it you got my message about me quitting my job?"
"Hell yeah! You need to hop in the car, the bus or catch a plane and get it down here girl. There is some hoppin' parties going on up in this biatch."
"I know Miami is a hot spot, but I still can't just up and leave," she cut me off
"Girl, that husband of yours goes outta town all the damn time. Why can't you come see me for a couple days?"
"Look, I'll talk to him about it OK? If he's ok with it I'll come, but I'm not promising anything. Got me?"
"Yeah, yeah, look girl I gotta run, there is a nice frat boy sitting here waiting for me but I had to call you up first, you know how it is. Holla!" and she hung up the phone.
"God, I can not believe her." I said to myself, out loud.
"Who?" Zane asked.
"What? Oh, my cousin Holly. She's all of 15 minutes older than me. My mom and my Aunt Julie were pregnant together, had us in the same hospital room too. I guess I've pretty much followed her around since that day until she moved to Florida and I stayed here, got married and kinda settled down. She's in Florida thinking she's a college kid still."
"So, what does she look like?" Zane asked wiggling his eyebrows at me.
I narrowed my eyes at him, then smiled. "She looks just like me, only about 70 pounds lighter. She is a toothpick, and I'm a hunk of country ham."
"Girl, you need to shut up, I like you just the way you are. Men need a little cushion for the pushin" he said.
I stood up and walked over to Zane and kissed his forehead. I'm 5'4" and just under 200 pounds. I'm a big girl, but I know how to have fun, and nothing is gonna stop me from that. "Thank you." I said, and kissed him on the mouth.
I yawned, "Guess I'm gonna head to bed, you can either come to our bed when you get ready or crash in your room. Whatever you want." I yawned again.
Stripping off my clothes as I entered the bedroom, I crawled naked into the bed next to Alex and snuggled up to him. I kissed him on the cheek and he said, "I love you."
"I love you too baby." We lay there for a few minutes just enjoying the feel of each other.
"Guess who called me tonight." I said to Alex.
"I dunno baby, who?"
"Holly called me; she is still trying to get me to come see her in Florida."
Alex yawned, "You should go see her, you've got the time off of work, a vacation would do you good." He rolled over and kissed me.
We made sweet passionate love and fell asleep holding one another.
Now, my dear reader, I'm sure you're asking yourself, 'Why didn't she elaborate on the sex some? This story is about sex isn't it?' Yes, this story is about sex, but this is just the beginning, I didn't want to spoil anything by getting you started now when the goods are coming up ahead, when Honey gets to Florida.
I called Holly back the next morning and left a message on her machine again, I'd booked a flight and I would be in Miami around 5 P.M. today; I was renting a car, so no she didn't need to pick me up at the airport, and I would see her shortly. Alex and Zane drove me to the airport with my carry on bag with my make up, important stuff and two complete changes of clothes. My small suitcase held another 5 or 6 outfits and more shoes, I was good to go. I kissed them both at the gate, and made my way towards my plane. I hated to fly, but I hated buses even more. Driving was out because I was too damn lazy to drive myself 15 hours away from home. So airplane it was.
The flight was simple and short, no delays, no major issues, and I was at the rental car place at 5:10. I'd booked a Mustang convertible because I love those cars and if I was on vacation I was making the most of it. You heard me?
At about 5:30 I was on the road; Holly apartment was only about 15 minutes from the airport and it was pretty easy to find. Parking in a spot nearest her door I climbed out with my carry on bag, locked the car up and headed upstairs. I knocked on the door and waited. "Hang on!" Holly yelled from the other side of the door. She finally opened the door, with a sheer wrapped around her.
