"You want to call me back later? I'll be up," he volunteered.
"Ok," responded Rachel. She realized she had been holding her breath when she hung up the phone. She let out a long sigh. She was trying to remember how long had it been since they met up like this outside of a family gathering. She looked around her house. It was begging for the weekend cleaning and laundry. Well, household chores just went to the bottom of her list.
Mack put his cell phone down and sat in his recliner. His dog jumped up in his lap and Mack started petting him. He turned on the TV to wait for Rachel to call him back. He wasn't happy when his dad called in a favor to get Angela's car towed however his mind quickly went to Rachel and all the possibilities. He wanted her to spend the night with him and he was certain she understood what he implied. How many times had they almost been caught? He started getting hard just thinking about it. He closed his eyes and pictured her laying unclothed in his apartment bed with her long silky hair over the pillow. Her voluptuous tits with fat nipples were plenty enough to spill over his hand. He thought back to kissing her soft lips and him laying between her amazing legs with his dick moving in and out of her sweet, tight pussy.
Their mom had known. She had seen the long looks between the two of them that started after they both had graduated. He had heard his aunt once say to her that he and Rachel were too close. She needed to do more to seperate them. Their mom was dealing with her own issues however and their dad was constantly travelling for work.
Mack was two years younger than Rachel. As he had once been in the role of protector and 'man of the house' many years ago, he always felt older. Mack learned watching, waiting, and patience in jail. He eventually learned to control the hostility that had earned him a charge of Battery once and the lesson he couldn't physically fight his way through life. Rachel was the only one who had visited him while he was incarcerated. Despite it all, his dad helped him with the loan to get the tow truck so he could run his own business.
The cell phone ringing stopped his reminiscing and he saw it was Rachel.
"I've got an overnight bag packed. You going to talk with me and let me know what's been up with you?" she demanded.
"Yeah. I plan on heading out at 9:00 in the morning. That should get me there around 1:00. I'll get the hotel room and text you the hotel room number as soon as I have it. You come to the hotel as soon as you arrive," he explained.
"Our usual place, right? We can't go to the beach during the day as this time of year we may run into someone we recognize...no one knows I am meeting you. I'll leave here a little after 10:00 am," she responded.
"Rachel. I've missed you," he said trying to reassure her.
"Love you Mack," she said as she hung up.
Rachel knocked on the door of the hotel room. Mack opened the door looking like he was trying to shake off the cobwebs from his cat nap. He kissed, hugged her then turned and flopped back on the king size bed. Rachel made a quick visit to the bathroom then positioned herself on the bed beside him. She turned on her side and propped her head up so she could look at him.
"Why has it been so long since you wanted to meet up?" she asked straight to the point. They texted often enough and spoke on the phone but it had been a couple months since they got together.
"I don't want to keep going the way we have with the secret meetings. You know how hard I have been working sixty to eighty hours a week at minimum," he replied. Rachel's heart was racing and she felt her eyes tearing up. She was thinking the worst as she always did. She did not understand what he was telling her.
He saw her tears and wiped them away. He raised his head and gently kissed her.
"What I am trying to say is I have just about finished paying off the loan on the tow truck. I need help with the business. I've made a lot of contacts and have more than I can handle both driving and managing. I need someone to assist with logistics, marketing, customers, accounting, insurance, etc. I am thinking of renting another truck and hiring a driver," he explained watching her carefully. He could tell she hadn't grasped fully what he wanted.
"Rachel, will you come live with me? Dad knows my business is growing. We can say you are going to live with me for a while to help out and become a co-owner. No need to get an apartment. It makes sense. It is legitimate," he was getting frustrated. He realized he was practically pleading with her now. He would not accept no again from her. He reached up and pulled her down flush to him in a warm embrace. He traced the line of her jaw and tilted her face to his and kissed her.
