We were proper at the reception. Pam and Frank were taking the newly weds to the airport for the private jet to the island. We were footloose and fancy-free.
We went home and hurried inside. Lisa got me on the couch with my pants around my ankles and pulled the dress up to her waist and mounted me. We both groaned. It felt so good. We were connected through Stargazer and screamed our way to two mutual orgasms before stopping long enough to get naked and in bed. We managed two more before we were exhausted and slept for a while holding each other.
We woke up late and had a snack for a late supper and went back to bed. In the morning, we rose and went to Sunday school and church. We came into the class and Lisa and Pam hugged and cried. Frank and I exchanged man hugs. We were both a little teary eyed, too.
Lisa said, "We're a little emotional this morning. Pam and Frank's son and our daughter were married as you all know and witnessed yesterday. We miss them and also know they will be on their own in the future living together and not with us. You are the third class we have grown with but the first one in which we had children though Karen and John came close for Al and me. We consider her our daughter, too.
"Each of you over the years has found a special spot in our hearts and we value each one of you highly. Now that you have graduated from high school, most of you will be leaving for college while others will be staying in town for college but our time as a class will be ending. We have another two months. During that time, we will try our best to answer questions you might have and remember our times together. There have been many Saturdays at our house over the years."
The rest of the class turned into a hug fest with lots of crying and hugging. Finally, Lisa said, "Al, would you dismiss us with prayer." I prayed and we dried our eyes and went into the sanctuary.
We took Pam and Frank, Irene and Stan, and Hannah and Bert to lunch. We had a good time and enjoyed the meal and the company. We had been home about half an hour when we received a text from our newly weds addressed to all four parents.
It read, "Moms and Dads, we are fine. Actually, we are better than fine!
"We have consummated our marriage repeatedly and joyfully. We are glad that we waited for this type of love making and sad that we waited at the same time. It's the best and we did it with our partners connected!
"Thank you for the honeymoon. The island is beautiful and we will be tanned evenly by the end of our two weeks.
"Please continue to pray for us. We covet your love and support as we go forward together. We love you all more than we can ever tell.
"Love, Laura and Frankie."
We cried and held each other. Lisa called Pam and they cried some more. Our children are two very special people and make a very special couple.
I haven't been diligent to say the least in keeping this journal up to date. Lisa was reading it again with me. We have done that a few times over the years. Perhaps now, we can see more clearly as we look back on fifty years of marriage. That anniversary is next week. Officially, I am eighty-four years old and Lisa is seventy-five. We don't look it. We don't look like we're great grandparents either. I was told by a friend that we look to be in our sixties but in very good shape.
One thing that may forever be unfinished business is the effort by the government to abduct me. Frank went after a number of people and estates but never could really determine what had spurred the effort or keyed the interest. Why so many years passed before anything happened and exactly what someone hoped to find from me may never be known. Frank said that sometimes all is well that ends. It doesn't always end well, just end.
Our children and grandchildren run the businesses. We combined Paul's companies and CME under a holding company umbrella and we're the largest employer in our town with CIC run by Melody and Mitch's sons and daughter being a close second to us. Bert and Hannah married after they graduated high school. Like Laura and Frankie, they raced through college and went to work in the family business. I am completely retired as Chairman Emeritus. Lisa is still Chairs the Board though we don't take part in the daily affairs. We attend board meetings and try not to offer advice but to listen.
Frankie is no longer active in the business. He is a U.S. Senator while Laura is our representative in Congress. They maintain a condo in Washington though their house here is their real home. Frankie says they only breathe freely when they are here. They feel that they are accomplishing something though they often get frustrated. There is talk about him running for President. He told me last Christmas that, if he does, Laura would be his Vice Presidential running mate. That should really rattle Washington. They are in their late forties but look much younger and are very photogenic. Frankie has a golden tongue from his parents and Lisa and I aren't the only ones who find it difficult to argue with Laura. I think, if they ran, they would win. We'll see.
Our children and their spouses have been busy having children. Frank, the third, or Trey runs one of Paul's companies and is doing very well. He married young to Helen and they decided that twenty-three is a good age to start having children. We have met Pierce as Franklin Pierce Lauder, IV, is called. His father, Trey, has three siblings and two of them are married.
Hannah and Bert started three years later but have six children. Bert told me once having children was so much fun for them that they didn't know how to stop! Their oldest got married two summers ago. He wasn't a third but is Paul Goodbody Chambers. Of course, Paul and Linda got to talk to and then to see the great grandson named after him. He is be the first "Paul" in our family. Paul is a popular name for children in town. Lisa is making me add that Albert is also. I will add that there are many young girls named, "Lisa," in our town though none are as pretty as my wife.
Linda and Paul are ninety-eight. They have admitted to Lisa that they are tired. She got them to talk to us both. Linda said that there is nothing they want to do. Both of them admitted that their lives have been full and they have nothing left to prove but have enjoyed their great grandchildren and are looking forward to their great great grandchildren. They had Lightweaver start on their bodies at a much later point and neither had to have the massive healing that each of us had early in our lives. Stargazer says that helps us be so much younger than we might be otherwise. They look like they're a young looking eighty and both can run circles around people without partners who are in their sixties.
Jenna is totally retired though, after her retirement as Head Mistress, taught college as an adjunct professor. John had become the new Head Master of the school. He and Karen are lovely people and the school is more popular than ever. It is known nationwide for scholarship. The big name colleges recruit students to come to their colleges and universities. A number of graduates have risen to positions of power in business and academics.
Of course, in our town, there are now few people who don't have partners. It's a poorly kept secret but it still stays quiet. The government seems to have lost interest in me or anything around here. We are starting to spread beyond our town more and more. We don't attempt to control the spread but depend upon people with partners to be careful in bringing in new people into having partners. Over the years, I have found that it's a blessed and fruitful way to live.
Brian did call Jenna and groveled a lot and she forgave him. She didn’t agree to go out with him though. Brian also called Lisa and asked to come out to her plant and spend a day with her to learn. That story will be told but, first, it’s appropriate to tell some more detail about Karen and John. Never let it be said that teenagers don’t have a sense of humor. John talked to Karen’s parents and Karen talked to John’s. The story of the two of them is interesting enough that I asked John and...
Lisa and Linda make a powerful sales team. They have picked up three new pieces of business to quote. Nolan and Mitch have been reviewing the quotes with Jack and some of his guys. Ellen is now working there and doing well. I went to see one of their leads after they had been there. The owner said, “Those two are dynamic and beautiful. They don’t take no for an answer either. They have talked me into a project that I hadn’t planned to do for a year because they convinced me that I will make...
We put the phones on auto-answer and left. We had lunch at another of Lisa’s places. They were all very good though quite expensive. I figure we could afford it for a long time. Over lunch, Lisa told Pam of her raise and changed status. She said, “We don’t have a title yet but you’re too good to be wasted answering phones. We expect to grow and you will be able to grow with us.” Pam hugged us both and wiped her eyes. “You guys are good for me. My parents, as you know, weren’t very...
"Mitch, let us go first. We have the training. Stay close. You're our backup. Watch our backs for surprises." He wasn't happy but nodded. We snuck into the yard and to the side of the house. There was an open window. Ben pointed at it and at himself. I nodded. I went to the back door and tried the handle. To my surprise, it wasn't locked. I opened it carefully watching for traps but saw none. I went inside followed closely by Mitch. They had Melody stripped to the waist and were laying...
We went back to our office for lunch and to get to know Melody better. She’s a nice young woman who has had a limited upbringing though not as limited as Pam’s had been. Pam admitted that she reveled in the physical aspect of being married as much as any other part. Melody was admittedly a little jealous of Lisa and Pam. I could tell she wanted a connection. Lisa talked to her about being choosy. She explained that she waited for me and is glad she did. “I have to admit that I thought I...
Her aura was evident to me and I went to her unerringly. As I got closer, I could see who was with her. Jack and Emily were there with Karen and John behind Lisa. I couldn’t tell how tense Jack and Emily were but Karen and John looked tense to me. I came up behind the kids and rested a hand on each shoulder. Mentally, I touched Lisa as I noted some tenseness in Jack and Emily. I said, “Hello, everyone.” Mentally, I asked Lisa, “Is this the time?” I heard her reply that she wasn’t sure. I...
I heard, "Crap!" The connection was broken. I hoped Stan was on the phone. I started watching for people in back and saw two smaller shapes coming in low. I snuck up to them, "Laura, Frankie, what are you doing here?" They cringed. Laura whispered, "Dad, we heard shooting and wanted to check on you and Mom. I wanted to know you were okay." "We're fine but I almost shot the two of you. You could have contacted us mentally." "I'm sorry." "Quiet." I heard bushes move about...
Saturday morning came early but I don’t really mind waking up early when my wife has lips around my cock sucking me to hardness and beyond. She came up after swallowing everything and said, “I’ve had the cream. Now, I want my coffee!” She giggled. We got out of bed and put some clothes on to go downstairs and get coffee going. We had a cup, refilled and headed upstairs to get ready to go out. We would dress comfortably since it was Saturday and not a workday. When we came back down, Linda...
Running CIC was fun. We made almost no changes because Mitch is good. On the other hand, Melody wasn't quite the character Lisa is nor out in the shop as much. Stephanie came in the next morning with her eyes shining. Lisa was out in the shop so I received an extra hug from Stephanie. "Thank you. You're right. I'm not alone." After she got her coffee and covered a few small issues, we talked about hiring more help. I went over duties and people and suggested some immediate changes....
We went into our bedroom and removed our clothes. Walking out, we went to the hot tub and removed the cover and eased in. It felt good as we stayed in to our necks and held each other. We had the hot tub and a pool but found we didn't use them often enough. We had a service that came out on Mondays and Thursdays to service them year round. We had decided that they weren't the best options for our home. Like our basement exercise room, we had good intentions but poor follow through. We did...
That Sunday, we had one of our last classes. The big event there was the presence of Mavis and Roy's parents when Roy went to one knee and asked Mavis to marry him. Roy's father was still a little rough but had learned discretion over the years. Mavis agreed and everyone applauded. I was one of the first to shake Roy's hand. He had tears in his eyes. He said, "Thank you again for the lesson. I will have a wonderful lady who will be my wife because you cared enough to correct me. My world...
The next weekend, we got together again with the addition of Jenna and Brian. Frank reported that it could be done. Jenna then said, "Al, what do you have in mind?" I gave her the history of our discussions. Then, I said, "Rumor says you will be moved this year when Jim retires." She nodded slowly. "It's going to be difficult because there are no open appointments close by." I said, "We have in mind a special challenge that will keep you here in town." Her head and Brian's...
The ownership of Olsen's had found that Joel's sick religion had permeated the company and aided its slide toward oblivion. They were nice gentlemen but I told them I was not interested in pulling their investment chestnut out of the fire. I asked them what they wanted for the company today in cash. When they told me, I laughed. I pulled out some paperwork I had put together on Olsen months ago when I established a valuation of half that amount at that time. I said the company had lost more...
Our time was full but enjoyable. Mitch was ahead of his plans for sales. We funded his need for inventory as a loan but the company was running smoothly. He did hire a couple of guys from CME along with many others. As the character of the company changed from a steel supplier to an electronics supplier and a builder and servicer of electronic controls, the needs were different from the old Olsen's. He and Melody made a good team. Within three months, he had twenty people working for CIC and...
We went to bed early and made love gently. We slept in since we had nothing on our calendars for Monday. For us, that meant that we weren't showered and dressed and breakfasted shortly after eight. In our town, we could be almost anywhere in thirty minutes. We headed in to C and C figuring to get any confrontation resolved early and quickly. We came in and Annie stood up and came to us hugging us both. "Lisa, Al, it's good to have you back." She looked at Lisa closely and grinned. "You...
They arrived at the little clearing. John only gave them a little resistance when they tied him to a tree with a gag. Now, all six converged on Karen who truly looked scared. One of them said, "We going to take turns with you until you're screwed just like you screwed us on that test." I came out behind them and said, "I don't think so! Let her go!" Four of them turned to be between Karen and me. She began to fight now and the two holding her had their attention fully taken with her...
Karen said, "He shouldn't try to treat me like a baby. I'm not and I'm old enough to know what I want. They have had nothing to do with us not even sending Christmas or birthday presents or cards consistently." Lisa looked at me and I looked at the time. Frank would be going into church. I called him. "Frank, Al here. I may have an issue. Jack's parents are making sounds like they are going to remove Karen from my home. Can we get something fast from the court to give me some paper...
Lisa said, "Will you permit Stargazer to examine your body?" "What would I have to do, undress or something?" "Just hold my hand and be willing." She took Lisa's hand and nodded. I could feel Stargazer go through Evelyn's body. He stopped twice. He said, "You have a broken bone in your leg that didn't heal correctly. Would you like it fixed?" "How would you know? Yes, I would like to walk normally!" Stargazer said, "I knew when I looked at your body. I don't know how it...
That evening, Lisa talked to her mother over supper. Linda admitted that tennis was losing its allure since she was winning consistently. She would follow Lisa to work in the morning and look things over. I was going in to our office and try to get more consulting work going. In the morning, we all departed. I went in and found Pam arriving as I did. I greeted her and we went inside. It was ten when Lisa called. She said, “I have news, good news.” “That’s great. What’s happening?” She...
Fred continued, “We could have a small overlap of ten or fifteen minutes to give people a chance to tell their shift replacements what they are doing and explain how they are looking at things. It would allow us to work the projects we have faster. Bobby and I have been doing that while we take odd lunch times to get another half an hour of work in.” He sat down and the comments buzzed. Lisa let them talk while she listened to the voices. She smiled. “Guys, it sounds like you’ve figured it...
I said, “Karen, John, what do you expect us to say?” John said, “Not really say anything, we just want you there to keep our parents from going ballistic. They know this talk is coming. Having you there will force them to think rather than react. We don’t want them to say something we would all regret.” Karen added, “It’s not like we’re going to give them a choice though we would prefer to have their consent even if it’s reluctant. John and I love each other and have thought it through. I...
Sunday came early but I woke rested. I looked outside our window and saw our forest beyond the pond. I smiled and said a little prayer of thanksgiving. I padded into the kitchen to start coffee for us. I looked out the kitchen window which had the same view. Lisa came in and plastered her lovely naked body against mine putting her arms around me and holding her body gently but firmly against mine. We stood like that longer than we had to because the coffee had quit rumbling and was ready. We...
Doc Baker simply lay low for a few months to be sure there were no eyes on him. During that time, summer came, school let out, and vacations started. Melody and Mitch left on their vacation first with Lisa and I taking turns working at C and C and at CIC. Lisa was definitely pregnant. She would be due in the fall with our daughter who was talking to us and to Frankie all the time. She talked to Pam and Frank and to her grandparents a lot. The girls in the Sunday school class had never seen a...
They met us in the kitchen dressed and ready to go. We had coffee and a light breakfast and left for CME in my car. John had noticed that I handed Lisa into the car and went around to get in myself. He did that this morning and I think Karen gave him an eyeful in appreciation for his effort. Lisa always does for me. We pulled in at the parking lot and handed our respective ladies out. We walked in to hugs and kisses mostly for Karen. Lisa grabbed Angela and Red, told them what we were going...
It's been almost five years. Our Sunday school class graduates from high school including our special daughter, Karen. We now also have a son, Bert, who is partnered with similar results as we had with Laura. We had gone to the island but he wasn't conceived until a week later. Brightgazer is not a clone of Stargazer but it doesn't really matter. He's good for Bert who is growing well and rapidly. He is a junior but won't be an Al to avoid being called "junior" all his life. Karen has...
I'm jumping ahead mostly because it's been quiet. It's been fifteen years since I met a "poor" grad student at a fitness center. Officially, I'm forty-nine and Lisa is forty. We barely look thirty! We never did have a third child though we stay in practice in case we ever change our minds! The school is more popular than ever. We have limited enrollment but brothers and sisters continue to come along. At church, Pastor Jim and Barbara stayed in the area and have helped the new senior...
I came toward our home cautiously. Bert was at Hannah's house with Irene and Stan was on his way. I went by my house and turned around at the corner. I parked off the road and pulled my Glock. Mentally, I told Bert to pass the word to Stan to park behind me cutting his lights at the corner. He told me he had. Mentally, I went on. "Laura, where are you?" "I'm with Frankie at his house. What should we do?" I responded, "Stay put. Be on watch. Tell Pam and Frank to beware and...
The prisoners were now clamoring to talk. Milt had let them see all the news reports including our information on the SUV that was killed by the helicopter. Apparently, killing off your own team is not acceptable. The police separated them and began taped interrogations. Stan and I took Joe Dexter. Stan said, "Joe, you're going to get your deal according to the D.A. He says you died in the SUV. Reid's wife was killed and Reid went after Ames for doing it. From the reports we have heard,...
Stan and Irene were still talking to one pair so we went in another room where the other two fake FBI men waited. I said, "Sit down." One sat down and the other came at me. I dropped him hard. I went to the other. "Pick him up and put him in a chair." We had brought in two paper cups of water. I splashed both of them into the guy's face making him return to consciousness spluttering. Lisa said, "Is there any more stupidity or have you gotten it out of your system?" There was no...
Laura and Frankie are graduating from high school and getting married. Much to our surprise, she told Lisa and me that she was wearing white because she was still a virgin technically! She said, "Making physical love to Frankie will be almost anticlimactic. We've been lovers all our lives. When we didn't make love physically a few years ago, we decided to wait until our marriage." She giggled. "That's not to say we haven't come close or done other things! We are comfortable with each...
Frank ordered in sandwiches in for the three of us. We went over the documents between bites to be comfortable with the sequence and what the documents meant. We also signed off on the new corporation and the name would be Chambers Mechanical Equipment rather than the anonymous initials. We finished eating and reviewing documents with about half an hour to go. It gave us a chance to check with the office where Melody had everything under control with Pam and to go to the bathroom. We were...
Lisa and I entered our bedroom and I closed the door. I took a step toward the bed and stopped. She was standing before me. I put my arms around her and kissed her tenderly but it turned to passion quickly as I responded to her trying to mold her body to and into mine. She broke the kiss and both of us were breathless. Softly and seductively, she said, “I have told Stargazer to connect us when I stop talking. Tonight, you are mine. We’ve had a marvelous surprise today and I want to celebrate...
On the way to class, we were speaking to others when Lois came up to us. With her was a tall, skinny young man and she was holding his hand. She said, "Missus Lisa, this is Jeremy. He's my guest. May he come to our class rather the tenth grade group?" "Of course, Lois. Jeremy, we'll be glad to have you with us." I noticed that Lois was dressed a little better than usual. Being as tall as Lisa, she could compete in the legs department and was wearing a mini skirt today. I had the...
I headed toward her car. "Come on. I'll introduce you." As I approached, Lisa came into my arms and kissed me thoroughly. "Love, meet Ted Allen. He's one of two who stuck it out here. He's a good guy and is going to be a lot of help. Ted, this is my wife, Lisa." Lisa took his hand gently and said, "Ted, I'm glad to meet you. Thank you for sticking it out. I think you'll find CIC is going to be a good company." I looked around quickly. The others had gone inside. I said, "Lisa,...
I said, "Okay, Stan. The kids are in school and Lisa's at CME. If those locations are like it is here, they are armed and ready for trouble." He hung up and I turned on the TV to watch the news. The local TV station had footage from last night with little more to add. As their "on the scene" reporter was speaking, she had Irene come to her. She said, "This is breaking news. Police department spokesperson, Irene Medlin, is here. Missus Medlin, what can you tell me?" Irene said, "The...
We went to the church and entered by the front door. There was an usher there who was quickly silenced thanks to a touch from me. We tied and gagged him using his clothes and listened. Pam nodded and we walked in. It was a small church in a fairly big room. Everyone was sitting in front so we were able to get half way before attracting attention. Pastor Joel looked up from his praying to see me and went pale. He stopped talking and others started to look up and then back at us. We continued...
We both woke up early, dressed, and hurriedly cooked breakfast. Paul and Linda came down and saw we were dressed to go. Linda said, “You would think they had somewhere to go today.” She and Paul laughed at our discomfiture. Lisa said, “If you two don’t get moving, we won’t let you help.” Paul said, “Where is the loss here? I can hurry to work my butt off or take it easy and get there in time to watch.” Linda and he grinned. They grabbed coffee and went upstairs and quickly came down dressed...
I glad we made that walk early. It was over an hour later when they returned. We had put the meal on hold for tomorrow and ordered pizza to go with the salad. As they came into the house, Frank and Pam had their arms around each other. Both had been crying but they looked happy, very happy. Both had to sit down at the table and get their emotions under control to be able to talk. After what seemed to be a long time, Frank cleared his throat and said, "First of all, thank you. Thank you so...
All four of us listened with our breaths held as the announcer watched the little balls drop into the trough. My ticket was a winner! The jackpot wasn't huge but one hundred fifty million dollars with the lump sum reduction was still a lot of money after taxes! Lisa hugged and kissed me. Paul said, "Congratulations! You're a rich man now." I said, "Sir, with your daughter's love, I was already a rich man. The money will merely make our life together easier. It does change the...
At breakfast, Paul and Linda gave us a funny look. Lisa said, "We had Stargazer connect us again when we loved. To know what the other is feeling is explosive. I know what I am doing to Al and he knows what he is doing to me but, even more, we can feel what the other is feeling while it's happening. It's a reinforcing circle." Paul said, "Lisa, Al, you two made a powerful couple. Enhanced by Stargazer, it's a bit scary even to hear about it." He looked at his watch. "It's time to...
I left for the school feeling better about that meeting but became anxious as I came close to the school. I had the windows down and pulled up to park and wait for her. I heard shots fired from where she would be waiting. I reached under the driver's seat and pulled my Glock, chambered a round, and left the car at a run holding the pistol with two hands in the upright position. I went through the door low and heard a round being chambered. I shot twice in that direction aiming to hit...
When I got there, I said, "Doc, did you come up with any brilliant ideas?" "No, Al. I've thought about your situation and don't even know how you can help people without exposing yourself to other problems. I'm not sure it can be done." "Doc, I have another possibility. How would you like to have an alien in your head? I was asked by Stargazer on behalf of another of his species. Lisa's parents went along with it and love the experience. How about it?" He said, "You're...
We left in my car with Stan in back. Lisa had a hold on my hand that varied between tight and clamped. She only released it when I went around to get in the car. It made starting the motor and going into drive difficult but driving one handed isn't really that hard. We arrived at police headquarters and Stan took us to the Chief's office. We walked in and Chief Jones was there with three other men. We were introduced quickly to Captain Macy, a fine looking straight-laced seeming man, and...
It was Saturday and, over breakfast, Lisa said that she wanted to go see our new house. We drove out there and met James looking over the house. He said, "It's good to see the two of you. You've been busy since I last saw you." I said, "Yes. More than I would like to have been." He said, "There's a saying I heard, 'All's well that ends!' Sometimes, that's enough." Lisa said, "I like that though, for us, it ended pretty well. Al saved my life. However, I would prefer not to...
She said, "As you have seen, I'm not a poor grad student. I am a grad student though. I'm working on a doctorate in English Literature. My dissertation will be on images of New Testament Christianity in the Lord of the Rings trilogy." "Wow! That's not a small subject." "Let me finish." She hadn't released my arm with her hand nor my hand with her other one. "I've been pursued; usually for my body or for Dad's money. The first is not too surprising. I'm not stupid. I'm...
Though I was ten minutes early, she came out to meet me and gave me a kiss that took my breath away. I tried to give as good as I was getting. She eased back in my arms and said, "Good morning." "Yes, it is. It's a very good morning." I paused. "Now!" Arm in arm, we went into the kitchen. Paul was just finishing breakfast and getting ready to leave. He kissed Linda and Lisa and shook my hand. "Have a good day!" He left. Linda asked, "Lisa, do you need any help?" She shook her...
I was surprised but moved over to let her join me. I put my arm around her. I quickly found out that she was naked! She rolled to me and I felt her breasts bore a pair of hot holes in my chest. She whispered, "I bet you didn't expect this!" I whispered back, "Not in my wildest dreams." She continued to whisper. "I don't want to do anything but I did want to sleep with you tonight. I want the comfort of your arms around me. You don't have to do anything but lay here and ignore me."...
When I reached the top of the stairs, she said, "My room." I made the turn and released her to stand. We kissed while we removed my few clothes. She pulled down the top covers and we fell into bed together. We were kissing like we had no time and our hands were frantically wandering over each other's bodies. I was sucking on a nipple when my hand found her core. She was wet and I felt her hymen. I looked at her. Her eyes were shining. She said, "I am sure and you're the one!" I was as...
A loud voice said, "You're back and with a companion." I stood and pulled Lisa beside me with my arms wrapped around her. We peered at the source of the sound. It seemed to coming from the center of the bright light! I asked, "Who or what are you?" The voice said, "We met approximately eight of your years ago. I have been following your progress from a distance. You figured out to come here quickly once you started looking. "Did your companion help you?" "I am male and my...
Monday morning just before ten o'clock, the phone began going nuts. The money had landed in our accounts and bank officers began to call. We were taking a late shower and just getting dressed. Linda caught the phone. She said, "She's not available right now. I will be glad to take a message. No, he's not available either. I will tell them you called." We came downstairs and she said, "The explosion went off. That was the chief of investments for the bank. He knows Paul. I think we've...
We woke up Wednesday morning and had breakfast with Paul and Linda. Paul left for work and Linda had an early tennis match. Lisa and I looked at each other and I said, "Let's go for a run." She said, "That's not what I was expecting but that's a really good idea. I will need to change." We went upstairs and she stripped to put on a sports bra, panties and shorts. She then put on socks and running shoes. I ran in a tee shirt and shorts so all I had to do was add socks and shoes. As we...
After Paul and Stan left, I slept. I never slept so soundly. Linda came in with coffee and said, "Good morning, Al. It doesn't look like you moved all night. Are you okay?" "I believe so. I slept like the proverbial rock." I moved a little and Lisa's bare arm snaked over my stomach to hold me to her. "Would you like some breakfast?" "Thank you, yes, I'm starving." "I will be back and bring more coffee, too." "Thanks." She left and I thought about my state. I hadn't left...
Very quickly, Paul and Linda followed by Stan came hurrying down the stairs. Paul and Linda took turns hugging their daughter. Finally, Paul said, "We hoped that Al was right. He's never steered us wrong but you're early!" Lisa took a deep breath and said, "Al loved me back to him and back to him early. I could feel his mind willing me healed and well and back to him. His body and his mind never gave me a choice. As soon as I could, I woke up to his arms holding me and to his voice in...
Monday, we went to the bank. We saw Pamela White first. She was walking to her desk when we came in the door. She almost ran to Lisa and hugged her. "You're okay. I was so worried though the news reports said you never went to the hospital." Lisa hugged her back. "If it hadn't been for Al, I would have been dead. He showed up in the nick of time." She had never released my hand but I was becoming used to the fact that she wasn't going to let me go for any period of time unless it's...
As we got in my old car, I said, "Okay, where do we look? What are we looking for, anyway?" She said, "Something nice but not ostentatious. I'm thinking American.

Actually, I guess I've been preparing for that moment for over three years. I have been paying my own bills including...
The woman had always loved that old late night show. You know, the one where you’re not sure if it really happened and, if it did, what did it mean.? With all the horrible recent globe shattering calamities it was hard for her to remember a lot of things.

If ever.Her favorite episode involved books...
Straight SexIt was ten thirty-five when I arrived at the church. I watched people head into the church. I decided that my tie was a good call. Many people didn't have a tie or a coat but enough did that I wouldn't be out of place. Since I had only seen Lisa in worn workout clothes and jeans and a simple blouse, I wasn't sure what to expect.
