I woke the next morning determined to get back to a routine at work and with Alexis. Work was easy. I just had to do it. Alexis was more complicated. I love being with her and I think we are excellent together. I think she thinks so too. I wish I could be more sure though. I know the sex is great for me and for her. There's no issues there, but while most couples move from dating and getting to know one another to sex (or not), our relationship has been reversed. We started with sex and were moving toward the dating phase. Then events kind of short circuited the process a little and now we are just back to having a lot of sex (Great sex. Incredible sex). We still haven't even talked about our future or even a potential for a future. I know I'm going back to college in the fall. It would be so great if she went to the same college in the fall. We could live together. Yeah right. Her father would have a cow.
I lay there in my bed with my fingers clasped behind my head staring at the ceiling contemplating these things. I desperately want a future with Alexis but I haven't gone there because I can't tell if Alexis is just enjoying her summer. Hell, for all I knew she was lying in her bed right then thinking the same things as me. Now, Deirdre's wedding will consume everyone's thoughts. I don't even know when that will happen. It could be months away.
I made up my mind that I had to get us away from our lives for a weekend or longer for just us. I knew that for my own sanity, I had to tell Alexis how I feel about her, about us. In the back of all of this is her father, who would throw a shit-fit if he found out his little girl was dating the pool guy. He has aspirations of her being with a doctor or lawyer or a big deal politician. Hell, I guess if I was him I'd feel the same way.
Well, this wasn't getting anything done. I sat up and swung my feet to the floor. It was early but I was up and going. After missing yesterday at the town pool, it could probably use a little extra attention. I quickly showered and dressed in my usual work outfit of t-shirt, nylon shorts and sockless sneakers. I made myself a sausage sandwich for breakfast and went out to my van.
I was an hour earlier than normal as I parked the van at the gate to the fence. I unlocked the padlock and carried everything out to the pool. I usually lock the gate behind me but today I must have forgot. I hooked up the vacuum hose to one of the skimmers and went to work slowly pushing the long pole along the bottom. I took my time and worked an area before moving the hose to another skimmer further down the length of the pool. I didn't immediately notice that someone had come through the gate and sat in a lounge chair.
When I did notice the person sitting there, I put down the pole and walked over to let him/her know that the pool was closed until 9:00 AM. As I got closer I could tell it was a woman. As I got closer I recognized her. It was Maddy from the party. I smiled to myself and wondered if she was Madison again. I smiled at her and said, "Hello Madison. How are you today?"
She smiled back and said, "You know its Maddy to you. I'm still recovering from that incredible party. I don't think anyone will ever forget it. You got quite a work-out. How are you doing?"
I sat down on a lounge chair beside her but I maintained a sitting position while she had stretched out horizontally. I said, "It was a fantastic party. I'm doing great. I should tell you that the pool area is closed until 9:00. I should have locked the gate. Sorry."
Maddy smiled and said, "I know, but I needed to talk to you without Alexis around." I nodded and said, "OK." She swung her feet to the deck and sat facing me and continued, "I'm concerned about Alexis. I hold her friendship very dear. I know the aura I give off is that I don't really have any concern for anyone else but myself." I smiled and nodded, "True." She smiled at that and continued, "Alexis and I have had a few conversations mostly about you. I guess she needed someone to talk to and I admit I was surprised it was me. I shouldn't be saying anything to you about these conversations. She would kill me if she found out. But, I think she has fallen in love with you but she's not sure how you feel. She hasn't said so specifically but I'm pretty sure. She's afraid to talk about her feelings with you because she would be crushed to a pulp if you don't feel the same way. I know you guys have tons of sex but that doesn't mean you love her and she knows that."
Tears formed in my eyes as I listened to Maddy. Talk about timely. I wasn't sure what to say to Maddy but I could tell just from the fact that she put herself out to come down here that she was genuinely concerned, which I would have never put money on yesterday. I said, "Maddy if you take your story and switch Alexis for me and me for Alexis, you will have your answer."
Maddy's eyes glazed as she thought about what I had said. Then a huge grin blossomed on her face. She said, "You love her too!" I nodded. "You can't tell her either because you're afraid she doesn't feel the same way." I nodded again. "You're afraid she just loves your cock, the sex." I nodded again. "Holy Shit. You guys have to get together and work this out. You are wonderful together."
I smiled at her and said, "Maddy. I laid in bed this morning agonizing over all of this. You can't know how incredibly happy I am right now. It's a start. I still don't know what our future holds because I'm sure she will go away to some Ivy League college this fall and we will fall apart."
Maddy said, "I'm not so sure about that. You guys need to work that out together." I got the impression Maddy knew more than she was saying on the college front, but I understood that she was stepping out of her comfort zone to even come here and tell this much. I was ecstatic. We could work out the rest of it.
Maddy stood and said, "I wasn't sure about coming here to talk to you but I'm glad I did. Please don't let on that I was ever here." She extended her hand to shake mine. I grabbed her by the shoulders and hugged her and kissed her hard on the lips. She was startled for a moment and then recovered her normal cool demeanor. She turned and walked back to the gate. I had a stupid grin on my face as I watched her get into her car and drive off. I turned to look around the immediate area and pumped my fist in the air and screamed out, "YES!!"
I was a bundle of energy as I went back to cleaning the pool. I couldn't even remember where I had left off, so I did it all again. I scrubbed the tiles from the decking to the waterline all the way around and tested the water. It was pretty good and I spread the appropriate amount of chemicals to finish the job.
I had to come down off this high before I showed up at Emma's or they would know something was up. I went to my second job and did any extra special job there as well. It was noon and I decided to stop at a fast food restaurant for some lunch. I was still on cloud-nine as I ate my burger and fries behind the wheel of my van. I was basically marking time until I headed over to Emma's pool.
My mind was flying a hundred feet above me and I didn't notice that the car passing me was a police cruiser which pulled up to parallel me. When I took note I looked over to see Officers Samantha and Erin waving at me. Samantha motion for me to pull over with that officious way of moving their hand and I did as directed. Erin was driving and she pulled over in front of me. They both exited their cruiser and instead of coming to the driver's side window, they walked down the passenger side and slid back the side door.
I turned my seat to face them as they both piled in and slid the door shut. Erin moved forward and planted herself in the passenger's seat while Samantha found an empty plastic bucket and turned it upside down and sat on it. They both pulled off their hats and let their hair fall. Neither of them had said a word and when they both started unbuttoning their shirts I spoke up. "Hey guys I know what you want but I don't have the time right now. I'm due to clean another pool in fifteen minutes. I'm sorry."
The smiles on their faces turned into instant frowns. After a few moments, Erin spoke up, "Fifteen minutes is plenty of time for a double blowjob." Sam looked from Erin to me and her face lit up.
I protested, "Ladies. That wouldn't be fair to you."
