Chapter 16
Gina has a surprise before the girls leave for the wedding in Connecticut.
GINA:
Time was zipping by as we got closer to the wedding. Tammy and I have been running or working out every weekday, and in the weeks that have passed we started seeing the results pay off. We haven't been losing weight or bulking up to be female Hulks, but everything that needed tuning up is looking fantastic -- butts, legs, tummies...hell, all over!
We've religiously followed Terry's advice as well, and have been having lots and lots of hot, sweaty sex! The list of possible places to make love in and around the house is pretty much completed. Some locations have seen repeat performances, and some (like the staircase) were just too damn uncomfortable. But it was fun anyway, even in the 'bad' spots!
I've kept up my teaching Tammy how to country-western dance. She still doesn't feel comfortable enough to go out, even though I tell her she's a lot better than some of the people I've seen trying to two-step before. I even bought some playground sand to spread a layer on the garage floor so she can see what 'boot-scootin' is all about.
Krav maga
is still on the back burner, but I have been showing Tammy what I know about finding weak spots and taking advantage of them. I told her that escaping the situation is always the best option, but like in the case with Steve, I knew I had the advantage because he was drunk, and his friend Marty is a wimp. There's a police-run self-defense course for women here in Durango, and I think we're going to sign up for that sometime during the fall or winter. We've even been able to go to the shooting range a couple of times, learning about and firing some of the pistols in Granpa Jake's collection.
TAMMY:
We've talked to Momma and Angie at least 3 or 4 times a week, sometimes about wedding matters, but a lot of times it was just for gabbing. It gives me a warm fuzzy every time I see them together. It's too bad that they had to find out that SOME men are scumbags before they found each other, but
c'est la vie.
Gina and I have finally gotten to go on a few hikes, too. One weekend, we went with Jo and Dee on a trail they knew of, and the 4 of us had a blast traipsing around the mountains. My favorite, though, was a trail we took that had a little meadow at the summit where we could take a break before going down. The meadow was on a cliff face, and the view of the valley below was spectacular. What made it special was a barely visible trail that led under the cliff.
As evidenced by the discarded condoms hanging on a bush, this was a good spot to fuck. Maybe it was the thrill of possibly being found out, or just being out in the open that made it so great, but Gina and I thoroughly enjoyed eating each other's pussy to a climax. We didn't have any used rubbers to hang from the bush, so we ended up tying our cotton panties together and leaving them as a testament to our conquest! It was especially funny was on our trip down the mountain. Without panties, and with dried cum on our faces, we passed a group of church-going men who'd been on the trail. I'm positive they could smell the odor of sex that wafted off of us when we passed, and we giggled the rest of the way down.
GINA:
Our pale blue satin gowns had come in, and we went to the dress shop for the initial fitting. A few minor alterations needed to be done, but the end result was a very sexy yet subdued look. We decided to ship the dresses to Connecticut so that Keme and Angie could have any wrinkles steamed out and the clothes would be ready for us when we got there. It seemed to be the best way, instead of trying to keep up with a garment bag besides our other luggage when we got ready to go.
Angie and Keme kept bugging me about what song I wanted to do for their first dance, so I ended up sending them a list of possible songs. That way, they can choose what they want. It turns out they decided on my original pick ("Could I Have This Dance"), but then Angie had thrown me a curve ball. She said they'd talked to the band leader, and he had recording equipment he could set up so I could record another song to play when we walked them down the aisle at the start.
They'd picked "The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)" by Juice Newton. Keme said Andrew (the band leader) had told them his keyboard player was tickled pink, because he also knows how to play a pedal steel guitar and loved playing country music. I practiced it a couple of times for Tammy, and we both agreed it was a beautiful song to start the ceremony with.
I've been rethinking my idea on proposing to Tammy also. Woman's prerogative, right? Anyway, I've decided to do it before we leave, in the privacy of our home. This is going to be one of the biggest things in either of our lives and I think that with just the two of us, it will be a lot more special.
TAMMY:
Even with all of our other activities, we still found time to get plenty of sun and play at the pool. Every time I see my bronzed goddess out in the sun makes my heart pitter-pat, along with the desire it creates in my loins. I still can't believe how incredibly lucky I am that we found each other.
Our supply of the lavender/peppermint oil lotion was getting low, so we got the name of the company and found out where to get some more of it ordered. I think we must be getting addicted to this stuff. There's nothing like getting a nice rubdown with the lotion after an afternoon of sun and swimming...plus, the taste of peppermint and pussy is wonderful!
When we'd gone hiking with Dee and Jo, they had told us the inside renovations for their 'new' business were underway, and they had a spot already picked out for the large painting I'm going to do. Dee asked if I could have it done in a week or so, and I promised that I'd get it done. I've already got the picture formed in my head, and I think they'll be pleased with what I'm going to do.
The package for our wedding gift had come in from Jerry, and he had included instructions on what we needed to do at Gina's bank and the bank in Connecticut in order to get the wire transfer done smoothly. We're excited to see what Momma and Angie are going to do when we spring our gift on them. Since we're going a few days before the wedding, we plan to give it to them the day after we get there, so they'll have time to get over the shock of suddenly having $20 million!
GINA:
I'd gotten a text from Therese at the jewelry store saying that Jim had finished our rings. I replied that I'd pick them up soon, whenever I could get away by myself. That day came when a cool front rolled in, leaving the morning skies outside gray and cloudy. Tammy figured it was a good day for her to work on her painting, so after I helped her set the long canvas up on two easels, I got dressed and drove to town, using taking the package from Jerry to the bank as my excuse.
The beady-eyed bank manager nearly flipped when I told him what we were going to do, but since I still had over $130 million left, he got everything set up for the transfer on this end without a big squabble. Jerry had done an excellent job of explaining exactly what needed to be done, and although it took a couple of hours, by the time I left the bank, the wheels were in motion. Even the sun seemed to be agreeing with my progress and was starting to burn off the clouds, promising a nice afternoon.
My eyeballs nearly fell out of my skull when I got to the jewelry store and Jim brought the rings out. The renderings had been great, but the actual rings were exquisite! I tried on one set, and they fit perfectly, so I'm nearly positive they'll fit Tammy as well. I couldn't resist giving Jim and Therese both a big hug. Jim assured me that he never copies one of his custom designs, so we'll be the only ones on the planet with such gorgeous creations.
I had them put the engagement rings in one box, and the wedding bands in another. After paying the balance and another round of hugs, they both wished me good luck as I walked out on a cloud of air. The smile on my face was putting the shining sun to shame when I got in the car to head home.
Stopping on the way to get some of the fried chicken breasts we like so much, and a very fine bottle of bourbon, my mind was racing as I tried to figure out the best way to propose. By the time I pulled in the driveway, I'd decided that tonight will be the night, after we eat supper. I put the chicken in the fridge, the engagement rings were stashed in the couch cushions, and the wedding bands went in the dresser upstairs.
TAMMY:
My hand and arm were starting to ache from the work I was doing, but the painting was nearly completed when Gina came in. She gave a low whistle, and said Jo and Dee were definitely going to be happy with it. After a nice kiss and some playing with each other's asses, I shooed her out, telling her I'd be done in a few minutes and we can deliver the painting tomorrow. I asked her to send them a text saying we'd be stopping by, and she left while I put the finishing touches in.
This is by far the largest painting I've ever done, and I'm very proud of it. I put their portraits on the left side, so the first thing their customers see will be their faces, and then have an oblique view of how the building will look once the renovations on the outside are done. After cleaning up my mess, I left the painting to dry and went downstairs, collapsing on one of the island stools.
Gina said Jo had replied to her text, and that anytime tomorrow afternoon after 2:00 would be fine. She gave me a wonderful massage on my shoulder, arm, and hand, then suggested I get in the hot tub to let the jets help ease the soreness. The pulsing water was grand, and the warm glow from the bourbon and coke that Gina made for me felt even better. When our fingers started pruning, we got out and air dried in the sun before going in for a rubdown with our lotion.
