Revelation: 8 β Thursday
Aunt Jill's flight was scheduled to arrive at 9:12 AM. Mom and I were at the airport early so we stopped for a cup of coffee and a bun while we waited for her arrival.
"Uncle Joe is older than Aunt Jill by what, 10 or 11 years? What I still don't understand is why she married a man that much older than herself?"
"Twelve years. It's a long story but in a nutshell while your grandmother and grandfather were wonderful people and very loving, your grandfather was somewhat restrictive and Jill and I weren't allowed much freedom in dating. Neither of us had much experience with men, Jill less than me since she was 4 years younger than I am. Jill met Joe, Joe had a lot of money, Joe swept her off her feet and impressed Dad, he proposed, Dad approved and they got married."
"When they met she was young and full of romantic ideals and Joe was dapper, suave and mature and made Jill fell like a queen. She fell for him hard and they had a fairy tale wedding. Then, after the a few years they began to have some problems. Joe was dedicated to his business and he was always traveling. When his business took off and had almost doubled he decided that he should relocate his operations to the mid-west and without consulting Jill made the decision to move. The fact that he had made the decision without discussing it with her beforehand did not sit well with Jill. Once they moved things seemed to get better for a while and they worked on resolving their problems."
"However, it wasn't too long before Joe started to have problems with his business and was spending 12 to 14 or more hours a day, 7 days a week either at work or traveling again. Jill was getting lonely and finally did what a lot of women do, she found someone who would give her the attention she wanted and needed. Jill had an affair with a man who was in his early 20's and Joe found out about it. They almost divorced over that but once again, they seemed to work out their problems. A few more years go by and Joe began to have problems with his prostate. Jill has always been highly sexed and Joe seemed to lose almost all interest in sex and in Jill. That's about it you know the rest. Anyway, Jill is coming out here so that she can think things through and just get away for a little while."
Mom took a sip of coffee and looked at me and put her hand on my arm. "Kenny, you will never tell her that I told you these things. If she wants to tell you about what I have said, she will. Our job is to give her all the love and support she needs just like she gave me love and support when your dad died."
We moved over to the security area and shortly had Aunt Jill and her bags in the car and we were headed home. She hadn't really changed much, older and somewhat tired looking but just as cute and as petite as I had remembered but a bit heavier. Mom and Aunt Jill were sitting in the back seat and talking almost non-stop all the way home. I kept sneaking looks at her in the rearview mirror and once or twice she caught me and grinned back.
When we got back to the house Kate and Karen were waiting on the deck wearing, what was for them, fairly conservative shorts and halter tops. Aunt Jill knew who they were from the letters, phone calls, Christmas cards and photos that made their way to her over the years but this was the first time they had met. I watched her carefully during the introductions and grinned inwardly as I watched her evaluating and sizing them up.
After all introductions were made with the requisite hugs coffee was poured, pastries were eaten and the ladies engaged in a little light banter and chitchat Aunt Jill turned to me and drawing herself up to her full 5' 5" said, in a very badly affected British accent, "Kenny, your wife is absolutely lovely, I always knew you had good taste. And, I like your mother-in-law. I approve." Her bad English accent and feigned haughtiness brought a good laugh from all of us.
Putting down her coffee cup Kate stood up and taking Aunt Jill by the arm said, "Let me give you the nickel tour and show you your sleeping arrangements." With Kate on one side and Mom on the other they took Aunt Jill back into the house.
Karen looked at me and said, "I like her! But, another hottie? Does your family grow anything but sexy, good-looking women?" She leaned in close and said, "I don't think you can handle 5 women!"
"Hush, woman! All you ever think about is sex, sex, and sex. That is one of the things I love about you but right now all I'm thinking about is getting something to eat. I'm hungry!"
I went into the house made myself a snack and took a beer out of the fridge while Karen began to put together a light lunch for the girls. When I finished I gave Karen a kiss and a quick feel and then carried Aunt Jill's bags up to her suite.
As I was putting the bags on the bed Mom, Kate and Aunt Jill came into the suite.
Kate showed her the sitting room, bathroom and bedroom. Aunt Jill was very impressed and looked at Kate and Mom a bit misty eyed. I think she really realized that she was with family and now she could just relax and begin to enjoy herself. She gave both Kate and Mom a hug.
" Josie and I are going down to help Karen get lunch together. Ken, will you show Jill where everything is and how it works?"
"Certainly, my pleasure. After another rounds of hugs and thank you's I took Aunt Jill from room to room showing her where everything was and how it worked."
"Kenny, this is really magnificent. This bathroom is larger than some of the rooms I've stayed in in 5-star hotels. A hot tub and a Jacuzzi! Simply amazing!
