Sunday morning, Nov 26, 2028
I wanted to talk about the night before on our way home after dropping our friends and parents off and I'm pretty sure Addie did, too. But it was such a short drive home and we hate to begin a discussion that we know we won't be able to finish.
Once home, we changed our clothes, picked up some different clothes for the kids, and traded the Odyssey for the Jeep. Weather permitting, we always try to get our Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. It'd probably be cheaper, but not nearly as fun, to just buy one, but we always go up to the Sawtooth Mountains and cut one.
We bought our Christmas tree permit in the little convenience store about a quarter-mile from our house and headed to Mountain Home. We've talked about putting real trees in the stores, but our insurance company seems to frown on it.
I was actually more concerned about last night than the trees that morning. Namely, about my father and Laura. Apparently, Addie was, too. "Sooo, this morning," she started, "Your dad... my mother." Crap, I thought, it obviously wasn't my imagination!
She looked over at me, "Did you notice?"
I rolled my eyes, "How could I not?
"You think it's something to worry about?" she asked.
I glanced her direction, "Sure hope not, but prob'ly better pay attention."
"Yeah, problem is, it was both of them. Mom looked like she wanted to go right back upstairs with your dad... as much as he wanted to, too."
"Well, I'm hoping that a little time and back to reality will cool their ardor. If not..."
"Yeah," she said, "If not..."
Then she reached over and just scraped her long, sexy, manicured fingernails against my jeans, right over the now-growing bump. "What about you... and Kayla? Was it good?"
My eyes rolled, although I was looking at the road and Addie didn't see it. My cock started to stiffen just at the thought of her. Kind of soon after my third orgasm of the night, just a couple hours earlier. After-effects from that pill? Maybe something to do with how damned sexy Kayla is. "Kayla is... Kayla. God, she's sexy! And she makes love like she plays volleyball, like every volley is the one deciding the match. Good? Yeah, you could say that."
She laughed, "I kind of thought so. We've been talking about it and she's been so looking forward to last night. You know she's been wanting to do that for a long time, especially after that little appetizer a couple months ago."
I glanced toward Addie, "Really? You and her have been talking about it?"
Addie giggled, "You know, girl-talk... about how bad she wanted to fuck you!"
I shook my head, 'girl-talk'. I don't think I could ever talk about something like that with another guy. I thought it was bad enough when Kayla was talking about making Addie jealous - or 'good', I guess.
"So, Ethan, what about you and him?" I asked her.
She hesitated, "Ethan... Ethan is an animal! THAT, Kayla never got around to mentioning. God, I loved it!"
I couldn't help but turn my head and look at her, hoping, I guess, that the cars on the road would stay out of our way. It's like she was drooling, right there in the Jeep. "So, what was the deal on you guys disappearing in the club before some of us left?"
"You remember the movie 'Unfaithful'? The scene where Diane Lane and her lover lose control of themselves and fuck in the hallway? Well, this was kind of like that, except more, and for real. Remember I told you that it was a secluded room? Well, that wasn't exactly true. Anyone could have walked by and that made it so much hotter. He pulled a 'Jonah' and ripped my panties off." She laughed, "The rest of the night I didn't have any panties and his fingers were inside me a good share of the time... then at the hotel. God!"
"So..." I started to ask her, "you think we do it again?"
She hesitated, a long silence, "I don't know. God, I want to! But... I think maybe they're too close..."
"And maybe the fact she works for you?" A little late to worry about that, I thought.
"Yeah, that too. I think we're going to have to talk."
"Speaking of being a little too close, maybe we should have thought about that before pushing our parents together?" I was just as much to blame as Addie was, although this 'date night' was her idea. Come to think of it, the 'fashion show' was hers, too.
Addie groaned, "Ya think? God, I hope that doesn't turn out to be a disaster!"
We drove the next several miles in silence, both of us, I think, afraid to say what was really on our minds, the fear that my dad and her mom have fallen for each other and the possibility of splitting up families. I finally broke the ice, pointing toward the Sawtooths, "Snow, there's snow in the mountains." We hadn't been able to see it from Boise.
Addie frowned. It's fun to go up in the snow, but it makes it so hard to pick out a tree. As white as it was, the branches would be covered and drooping. It's why we try to go fairly early, to hopefully beat the snow. Doesn't look like we made it this year. Kids'll love it, though.
"You want to see if Livvy wants to go with us?" Addie asked me, "maybe give Nicki a little 'alone' time with her paramour."
Sounded good to me, then I realized, "Lily's there, too. We don't have room for four kids."
Addie frowned, then seemed to come up with a solution, at least a partial one, "You're right, how 'bout if you drop me and our kids off at DQ, then go back and get Livvy and Lily? We could give them an hour or so, anyway before Samuel has to leave."
Speaking of 'leaving', I was curious about Samuel. "Nicki ever say anything about whether they have plans yet?"
"No, I've been wondering about that, too. Hope it's Samuel coming here if... or when they do," she answered.
I was just taking the exit into Mountain Home, then to Nicki's. When we went in, Nicki was in a pink, silky bathrobe and Samuel was in the living room on the loveseat. The four kids were nowhere in sight. "Katie, Kevin, your parents are here," Nicki called into the back rooms.
All four came bounding out and Kevin, bless his little soul, trying to make Mom and Dad feel better, I guess, said, "Do we have to go?" He crossed his arms together and sternly announced, with a deep frown on his face, "I don't want to!"
Addie rolled her eyes, "We're going Christmas Tree hunting. Maybe to Dairy Queen first." She looked over at Nicki and Samuel, "Mind if we take your kids to DQ for a treat?"
I dropped our two little people and Addie off at DQ, then went back to Nicki's to pick up Livvy and Lily. On our way out the door, Samuel's smile spread all the way across his face. I told them that we'd be at least an hour and would text before bringing the kids back. Samuel gave me an obvious wink as we went out the door.
The Mountain Home DQ doesn't have the rustic old metal seats like ours has in Boise, so the kids sat at the booth with us and we had an enjoyable hour eating ice cream. Chatting and playing word games. We drug it out to an hour-and-a-half before kids started getting a little antsy. Addie sent Nicki a short text just telling her we were on our way back - you know, 'just in case'. Then we waited for Nicki's response that they were ready, which came a couple minutes later.
