Author's Note:
The first weekend ends with David and Elaine falling into their new lifestyle.
Part 3
'Hyper nova'
We finished up grocery shopping and went to the mall. We stopped at a men's clothing store. I, of course, started looking at the long, boxer briefs and she was looking at all this risque stuff! At least for me. She was looking at G-strings with nut sacks, thongs, high-cut bikinis, etc.
"Jesus, you want me to wear this?"
"For me, yes."
"Is the look for the well-kept cougar cub?" I jabbed with a smile.
She gave me the 'O' mouth.
"David Marshall Howe, is that what you think this is?" She asked emphatically.
"I'm just playing," I said placing my hand on her arm.
She smiled. I leaned to her ear.
"Besides, I don't mind," I whispered and kissed her lightly. We realized we were in public; where we were known! She pushed me away with a smile. I need to be more careful until we figure some of the details out.
Purchases in hand, we walked down to the bookstore. We went our separate ways to look at our sections of interest. About a half hour later, I saw Elaine at the front of the little in-store bistro. We ordered some food and took out our respective purchases. She had a biography of Admiral Nimitz and some other business book, whose title I didn't understand.
"Next leadership style to study?" I inquired. She had been studying bios of military and political leaders to improve her own skill set.
"Yeah. I like Nimitz! He was one of those soft-spoken,
get-things done
types. I like that. What do you get?" I showed her. It was a book on backyard astronomy.
"You liked that astronomy class in college quite a lot?"
"Yeah, I did. You remember how much I loved the stars when we were camping."
"Why don't you buy a telescope?" She asked.
"Well, I'm saving for one. To get the in the neighborhood of the type of scope I want, I'm looking at around $1000."
"How much have you saved?"
"About $500."
"Keep going." I didn't know what to make of her last comment. She can say things that have multiple meanings. We finished lunch and drove home. As we were putting away all the groceries, I paused for a second and turned toward her.
"I'm sorry if the 'cougar' comment sounded wrong. I'm just getting used to the idea of how we'll be seen." I confided.
"Oh don't fret! It will work out! In fact, I kind of liked it!" She said with a smile. She brushed my cheek.
It was around 4 and Elaine was on her computer doing something. I sat down at the kitchen table with a piece of pecan pie and a cup of coffee. I started to dig into the book I bought.
"
Deeeveee
........Is this the top you like so much?" She said in a sultry voice.
I looked up and she was standing in the jamb of the bedroom, wearing
the
top! The white polo shirt she wore for a few hours some time ago. Now I know why! Her arms were stretched up above her and her knee was drawn up in a coquettish 'V'.
I just sat and looked.
"David, take the fork out of your mouth!" I was taking a bite of pie and I guess I was
distracted
!
"Yeah....that's the one." She walked over, pushed open my legs, and sat on my left knee.
"I know you've experienced a lot in the last 24 hours. My sexual energy and appetite have been intense for you. Whether you realize it or not; so is yours! Just an FYI, I'm still wrestling with mental
chastisement
! I'm being told I'm the 'Whore of Babylon'!"
I smiled. "You can't be her! You have to be 'Queen Jocasta', mother of Oedipus!"
She laughed out loud! "Well, don't blind yourself quite yet. I love those dark amber eyes!"
I smiled and kind of blushed.
"Before we get lost in Greek mythology, I saw that "Blues Brothers" is on tonight." She added. It was one of our favorite movies.
We finished up our respective days and settled in on
our
bed with a full bowl of popcorn and beer. About 45 minutes into it, we were both done with the popcorn and she paused the movie.
"Do you have any bud?"
"Uh...yeah, sure." I went into my bedroom and got my stash box. An old cedar cigar box. Elaine and I have gotten high a few times. I have a feeling this time will be very different. I returned and sat down on the bed, opening up the box. I took out the little change tray I used to prep on. I opened up the watertight container and the room instantly filled with a musky sweetness!
"Wow! That's 'dank'!" She exclaimed. After I turned 18, she and I got high. Turns out she smoked a lot of 'ganga' in college. I cut up enough for a joint and put it in the grinder. I took a rolling paper dumped the weed into it and rolled up a fairly nice joint and handed it to her.
"Wow! This looks like a Camel, a machine roll!"
"I wanted to learn how to roll. I sat down one afternoon with some somewhat crappy smoke and spent 4 hours rolling. Roll; tear, apart. Thought it would look good on my
CV!
