I was back home for the first time since Christmas. My father passed away five years ago, so I visited home more often. My mother had taken most of his life and accidental death insurance money and opened a successful, seasonal, bed and breakfast. My childhood home had four bed and two baths. She converted one of the bedrooms into another bathroom, so that each bedroom had its own full bath.
The portion that she didn't use she gave to me. I took that money and spent two years getting different licenses and became a successful, independent, handyman. By going to school and getting those licenses, I was able to get contracts with cities and towns all over the state. Since I was self-employed, worked alone and available to work all hours, I was able to charge my clients less money than they would have to pay a company.
When my mother called and asked me about the quote, a contracting company had given her to repair the B&B to get ready for the upcoming season, I told her they were ripping her off. I'd do the repairs and maintenance myself. I arrived home just after noon on Saturday. When I walked into the kitchen, my mother was sitting at the table drinking tea with her best friend Carrie. Mom got up, hugged me, and handed me a cold can of Pepsi. I took a drink, said hello, caught up with some gossip, and got to work.
I went upstairs and replaced the plumbing in all three bathrooms. The idiots that mom had hired five years ago, used copper piping. It's far more expensive, it must be soldered, it's noisy when high pressure goes through, it must be insulated, and it could burst in cold temperatures. PVC is cheaper, doesn't clog as easily, doesn't need to be insulated, doesn't leave a metallic taste in your water, and many other reasons why it's better, in my opinion. All that work had taken hours to complete.
I also went out to my truck, got my snake, and snaked the shower/tub drains in all three bathrooms as well. I took a shot-vac to all the floor vents and the main house vent. I changed the air filter on the furnace and central air unit. I was now ready to start working in the main kitchen.
I was sitting down on the floor and undoing the garbage disposal from the sink, when I heard them start giggling. I had just finished cleaning the disposal out into a bag when I heard what they were saying.
"You wouldn't mind if I borrowed Sean so he could clean out my she-shed, would you? It's been dusty since Bob left." Carrie said.
"Well, he's always had a crush on you, so I'm sure he'd love to help." my mother replied.
"MOM!" I exclaimed and bumped the back of my head on the underneath edge of the sink counter.
"Son of a hazmot!" I said loudly, rubbing the back of my head.
They started hysterically laughing. I stood up and leaned on the kitchen counter, looking at them.
Carrie still looked beautiful as ever in her sixties. She had full shoulder length gray hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a green dress that went down to her knees with black pantyhose and black flats. I always did have a crush on her. She deserved much better than her drunken, abusive, asshole of an ex-husband she had. I used to imagine being married to her when I was a teenager.
A piece of pineapple hit me and got my attention.
"Good lord Sean, control yourself." my mother said giggling.
"Oh my!" Carrie said giggling as well.
I realized to my embarrassment, that I'd gotten hard thinking about Carrie and it was very obvious in my jeans. I quickly covered my crotch with my hands, like a teenage boy in class.
"I'm gonna go get the truck camper ready for tonight." I replied, leaning forward to start to leave.
"Oh Sean." Carrie said standing up. "It wasn't exactly a state secret sweetie."
She put her hands on my chest. "I find it quite flattering that I still have that effect on you." she said, then kissed me on the cheek.
"You aren't sleeping in that damn camper Sean." my mother chimed in.
"You're gonna stay in my spare room young man. I'll go get everything ready." Carrie said as she left out the kitchen patio door.
I looked over at my mother, "First of all, there's nothing wrong with the camper. Secondly, how could you say that out loud mom, do you know how awkward this is now."
"I know how much you love it, but, you're home among family and friends. You don't need to be sleeping in that thing."
"Mom, I'm telling you, you'd love it too. Why don't you sleep in it tonight and I'll sleep in your room.
"I am sixty-six years old. I'm too old to be climbing and sleeping in a damn camper." she said laughing.
"And I'm twenty-eight. I don't need to be intruding on her when I got a perfectly good option."
"Intruding on her is the right option. Now you go over there and put some pep back in her step." my mother said, pinching my cheek.
"You pimping me out mom?" I sarcastically asked.
"Oh yeah. Pay me my cut or you're going to meet the business end of your father's twelve gauge. You feel me boy." my mother said with a laugh.
I kissed her on top of head and walked out to my camper. My truck camper was the best thing that ever happened to me, besides my parents. Two years ago, I decided to go to a police auction with one of my friends in Columbus on a free Saturday afternoon. They were selling houses, cars, trucks, mowers, just all kinds of goodies. My buddy saw this truck camper sitting all by its lonesome.
He went on about camping with his father in one. When it came time for it to be auctioned off, it was going really slow. It was only at five hundred dollars, so I decided that I was going to buy it for my friend, in exchange for his computer services. I raised my paddle at six hundred dollars. That's when it started going up. I finally ended up being the highest bidder. I had to cut a check for fifteen hundred dollars.
When we walked out to the camper, I told him what I did. He gave me a hug and then told me that he was truly touched. However, he could not accept it. I had overlooked an important aspect. He didn't own a truck. Luckily, I had a 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty to load it up on. Since we didn't how, we called my buddy's dad who drove down and helped us. It was when he got there that he informed me,
"You got one hellava deal there son. One hellava a deal."
Turns out I had purchased a 2019 Northern Lite 10-2 EX CD Special Edition Wet Bath. It retails for over forty thousand dollars. It has a full queen-sized bed with a skylight, three burner stove, full sink, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, flat screen tv, the table slid down to make a second bed and came with solar panels. My buddy and his father followed me home. I had my moments of trouble with an extra four thousand pounds of payload on the back.
The three of us spent the next day celebrating my incredible find and getting the whole thing set up. My buddy and his father showed me how to run everything. The propane tanks, the batteries, the water hookups, etc. By the time the game came on, all three of us were hammered. Their wives were none too pleased to have to pick them up and drive them home. I ended up making all kinds of memories with that camper, but those are stories for another time.
I stepped up into my camper, grabbed a bottle of Pepsi out of the fridge and sat down at the table. I took a nice drink and then let my head fall back against the cabinet wall. It was a two-hour drive to get here and then I spent the next few hours doing all the work in the bed and breakfast for mom. It would be nice to eat a home-cooked meal and take a long, hot shower.
I took another drink, got up and climbed onto the bed. I store my clothes and toiletries in storage spaces on the sides of the bed, so I grabbed a pair of sweatpants, a t-shirt, and my bag. I went to the control panel and turned off the propane power, leaving only the power from my solar panels to run the refrigerator/freezer. I locked up my camper and made my way towards Carrie's house.
As I was walking up onto the deck, I could smell meatloaf through the screen door. I knocked and walked in. Carrie was sitting at the kitchen table with a glass of wine. She was still wearing the green dress with black hose, but she'd taken her flats off.
"Sean, when you're done with your shower, can you help me get my closet door back in its track? It slipped off when I got my dress out this morning." she asked, taking a drink of wine, and bouncing her foot up and down.
I felt myself starting to get hard again quickly, so I replied.
"Of course, and thank you for letting me stay here. I do appreciate it."
She stood up and started walking towards me.
"I'm sure it'll be my pleasure." she said, kissing me on the cheek again.
"Now you go get cleaned up after working so hard today. Supper will be ready in an hour or so."
As I started walking away, she took my sweats and t-shirt from me.
