Saturday morning, May 2nd, 2020
I felt bad the next morning when I woke up. Dani and I had been away from each other for over a month, and we hadn't made love after she got home, but it was her fault. Wet as she was (and I know, I'd felt her), she said one more night wasn't going to kill her.
I looked at the clock on my nightstand, six-forty-five, then rolled over to kiss my bride for the first time in thirty-three mornings.
Except there was no bride in our bed to kiss. I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs, not even realizing I was still stark-naked, and there was Dani, wearing one of my t-shirts, hair loose down her back, nothing else on that I could see, looking sexy as fuck, cooking sausage and hash browns. She looked up at me, kind of up and down, scanning my nakedness, with a smile on her face, "Good morning, sunshine, nice of you to finally get up."
I looked at my watch again, it still said six-forty-five, just changed to forty-six, "Uhh, isn't it still kind of early?"
She laughed, "Not when you're used to five, even with the hour difference, I feel like I slept in."
She walked over to me, held out her arms and I stepped right into them, "Welcome home!" I told her, kissing her, "I missed you." I'd missed those bare tits under my t-shirt, too, pressing against my nakedness. "This what you been wearing every morning?"
She looked down at herself, her breasts bare under the shirt, a skimpy pair of panties on underneath, and nothing else, "Well," she said, giggling, "not yours but pretty close... I think Alan approves."
Oh yeah, I'll bet he does! "And is this how he greets you in the mornings?" I asked her, pressing her to me, our lips joined, pressing my tongue through hers.
"Mmm... well, we DID need to practice when the opportunity presented itself... he usually wore a bit more than you are, though... you know, to keep his schlong covered," she said, giggling, after she'd pulled her lips barely away from mine.
"What? Some of those tiny little tights?"
Another giggle, "No, to keep it covered he has to wear something loooonnnnggg," drawing out that word to make her point. "Maybe in the movie you'll see what he wears."
Oh, shit! I was imagining what he might have been wearing. Then I had a thought, swelling my dick even more, "He, uhh, ever bake you anything before your morning 'practice'?"
"Mmhmm, he's a really good cook, makes these fantastic... I'm not even sure what to call them, kinda like cinnamon rolls but different -- lots better. They're soft and gooey, sweet, with just a bit of a twang to them, kind of hard to describe... I don't know what's in them but they make me feel all gooey inside."
"You mean like... sexy gooey? Horny gooey? Wet pussy gooey?"
"Mmm, yeah, I guess so, a little... maybe a lot."
"And that's when you 'practiced'?"
"Uhuh, want me to show you how good we've been getting?"
I stood there, mutely, wondering, no fucking way. She closed that inch, her lips soft, blending with mine, one hand behind my neck, the other on my butt, pulling us together, lips opening, and her tongue in my mouth. I kissed her back, she pulled away again, "Hands on my back, under my top," she said, resuming the kiss. I did as she asked, pushing 'my' t-shirt up, my hands underneath it, caressing her back
"Mmm," she groaned, "yes, like that!" our kiss deepening even further, Dani's hands pressing her pelvis to mine, going on for what seemed like several minutes until she pulled away, "Not so sure his you-know-what realizes it's just for practice, though... it gets so big!" She looked at me, "And that, dear husband, is an on-screen kiss... think we have a little more perfecting to do before the real thing... naked... don't you?"
Gawd!
She called Jenny after breakfast and retired into her little office, all I heard was lots of giggling. After her forty-minute phone call, she rejoined me in the living room, "Jen's coming to dinner with us tonight, maybe Richard, he doesn't think they're going to have anything come up tonight. He still is on call though, so will have to wait and see."
"Jenny and Richard? I thought your parents and Jon were coming over tonight?"
"They are, but Jen and Richard, if he can, will be coming over, too. That okay?"
"Sure, wonderful, I always love their company." Especially, lately, more than okay, I didn't add. It made me wonder if they might be staying a bit later. Kind of made my heart rate jump a bit with hopeful anticipation. Could this possibly be the night, Dani and Richard... Jenny and me?
I wondered if the Alvarezes had a sixth sense, knowing the exact day Dani would be home. I got an email from him that the farm will cost us $325,000. Two months ago -- no way in hell could we have done that, especially with the expenses from the new store; Now -- just have to wait for Dani's paycheck.
I showed the email to Dani and she was on cloud nine, excited about actually owning her grandparents' old farm. They'd attached a copy of the appraisal, $325,000. Not a bad investment for them, almost $200,000 profit in thirteen years.
Was Dani serious about her and Alan's 'practicing'? That's going to bug the hell out of me and I know I'll never get a straight answer I can trust from Dani. Dammit, her 'demonstration' kiss this morning did feel different. Arghhh!
We emailed back that we would be arranging financing, distracting me from Dani and Alan's 'practice' and Jenny and Richard coming for dinner. Almost
I took Dani to downtown Pasco to show her the new store. I unlocked the front door and we walked in, everything gleaming, bright, counters all done, shelves stocked, ready for customers. It looked... beautiful!
Dani stood at the entrance, her head swiveling back and forth, "It looks wonderful, ready to open?"
I nodded, "Would have this weekend, except..."
"It's huge!" she said.
"Yeah, it's about double the other one, you like it? I have five people hired, ready to open."
"Love it, you'll do so good with this." She turned and hugged me, "I'm so proud of my husband!"
Can you say 'beamed'!
It was after three when we got home after stopping at the grocery store for a couple things for dinner. Dani put the veggies in with her roast that she'd started in the slow cooker that morning, got the rolls ready to bake, and we sat in our backyard. It was the first of May, a beautiful springtime day, a wonderful time to be sitting with your beautiful wife, enjoying the balmy weather. That she was finally home after being gone for so long was such a bonus, I just sat and looked at her, imagining how lucky I was to have her.
Jenny popped through the door at quarter till five, she knows she never has to knock, carrying a salad that she put in the refrigerator. "Richard... ugh! We were sure he was going to be able to come tonight, then the hospital called... this couple from Seattle... she's in labor, going to have her baby anytime, he has to be there. Dammit!"
Jenny hardly ever swears. It was obvious that she was more than a little frustrated. "It always happens!" she complained, "seems like every time we have something planned."
The last time, that Sunday evening... yeah, frustrating! I guess that meant the likelihood of a little fun that evening had diminished to somewhere between nil and zero.
"You still up to do a little shopping before dinner?" Dani asked her.
"Yes! Let's do it," she answered, "Oh, by the way, welcome home, sis, we missed you," giving Dani a big hug, then me a smaller hug... but I got a kiss on the cheek, too. Eat your heart out, Daniella Shore!
"Back in an hour or so, plenty of time for dinner," Dani told me going out the door, throwing a kiss.
It made me smile at how good of friends those two were, no matter what. My little stint in the hospital (is four months considered a 'little stint'?) proved that beyond any doubt. As Dani told it, Jenny's the one who held her together, was always there for her when she needed it. Thinking about it almost makes me cry. Tammy, Jon's wife, was great, too, except her hours weren't at all flexible like Jenny's. All-in-all, Dani had a wonderful support network, Jenny leading the pack.
But anyway, it was just me in the house once again, at least this time only for a little while. I was sick of being alone in this house! Jon and Tammy showed up shortly after Dani and Jenny left. He'd become so indispensable, I wouldn't have been able to open the second store without him, he's really taken to the parts store business, I think even more than me.
Jon and I talked about the store while Tammy fussed in the kitchen, setting the table just so, so it'd look especially nice. Jon was excited, too, the store's ready to go, opening Monday!
Jenny and Dani were back a little after six-thirty, Dani carrying a bag upstairs and coming back empty-handed. I'd seen a sack like that before somewhere, just couldn't place it. Ah well, not important. "I thought you were getting something for dinner?" I asked Dani.
She looked over at Jenny, "I didn't say anything about something for dinner, you?" she asked.
