The next day they spent relaxing by the lake.
���Lucas I think we should get tattoos of each other���s names on our backs,��� kissed his chest and then pulled his chin down and kissed his beautiful full lips.
���Oh, you do?���
���Yep, they do tattoos at the water park, you up for that?���
���Um okay,��� he said.
���You go first?���
He looked at her confused, ���If that���s what you want.���
���More than anything,��� she hugged him. ���Not small either, like I want it across our whole back. I���m so happy we���re going to do this together!���
While cleaning up from lunch, Tessa was carefully rinsing off the tin foil.
���What are you washing that for?��� Lucas laughed.
���She is having an Aunt Ann moment,��� Molly giggled and patted Tessa���s back.
���Did you guys know she was married before Uncle Fred?��� Tessa asked.
���NO!��� Molly laughed.
���She was, and she was pregnant. Her first husband died in World War II. She miscarried and didn���t know until it was too late. She could never have babies after that,��� Tessa said gazing into the water.
���You���re talking about your eccentric aunt?��� Jade giggled.
Tessa smiled, ���Yes, I adored her. Well, her Joe was her first love, he drove her crazy, and they were very passionate. There was a man working on the camp next door while I was there and she said he reminded her of him. She was crushing on him big time.���
���Was he cute?��� Jade asked.
���I have no idea; she made me take a plate of food to him the first night. He was working inside and sawing, so I put the food inside the door. I never saw him,��� Tessa smiled.
���So Ann had a crush?��� Molly laughed.
���She certainly did. The second night��� the last night��� she took him a plate again. He hugged her and kissed the top of her head. I saw it through the window. It was so sweet. When she came back, she was glowing,��� Tessa said smiling as she wiped tears away.
���You never met him?��� Jade asked.
���I sort of did, when the paramedics came the next morning��� well I was holding her and didn���t want them to take her. He followed them in and pulled me off of her and held onto me while I cried. He was a good man, he called Pastor Lou. I was in the shower when Pastor Lou got there, and he left. I���m happy he showed her so much kindness before she died,��� Tessa wiped more tears away, ���He was her Joe.���
���What about Uncle Fred?��� Molly asked.
���Well, he courted her for three years before she finally accepted his proposal. He was the love of her life. Her partner, her friend, her forever,��� Tessa answered.
Lucas held her and kissed her head, ���You okay?���
���I am, these are happy tears. We need to reuse this tin foil,��� Tessa said as she placed it in the basket with the paper plates, ���She wouldn���t be happy that we are using paper plates either.���
Molly laughed, ���I���m glad you were there, Tessa.���
���Me too,��� Tessa smiled.
* * *
The six of them walked from the campground to the park. The girls walked together, laughing and talking about when they were younger, and their whole family used to come here together. The guys walked behind them, Ryan asked Cory how things were, and laughed. Cory smiled and shook his head, ���Better than I ever could have ever expected.���
���So Lucas, Molly tells me that you���re getting tattoos today,��� Cory laughed.
���I guess we are,��� he looked down.
They walked through the gate, and Tessa and Lucas watched as the others rode the colorful chairlifts that followed the main path high above the crowd. He was nervous, and Tessa was very excited.
���You ready Lucas Links?��� she asked.
He smiled and shook his head yes.
She took his hand, and they changed into their suits. She wore black boy short bottoms and a matching top. His white shorts looked great with his golden skin and hung perfectly on his hips. He immediately noticed guys checking her out. She immediately noticed how perfect he was, from head to perfect toes.
���You ready?���
���Yes,��� he said glaring at the males checking her out.
���Then what���s wrong?���
���The pigs checking you out.���
���Let them look, I���m yours Lucas,��� she said and put her arm around his waist and tucked her thumb just inside his waistband. ���I am going to have LUCAS��� tattooed instead, okay?��� she laughed.
He shook his head and smiled shyly.
They walked up to the booth, and she smiled. He read the sign, Airbrushed Tattoos.
���This okay?��� she asked and laughed.
���Yes Tessa, you really had me going,��� he said looking relieved.
���I can���t believe you were going to.���
���Neither can I,��� he kissed her.
He got her name across his lower back just above his waistband, she tried to talk him into pink, but he insisted on black. She did the same color and had LUCAS��� tattooed across hers. He was uncomfortable watching her bend over the chair and having the guy stencil and paint her.
���Could you get that across your forehead too?��� he asked as his eyebrow rose.
���Lucas, it���s already on my heart,��� she batted her eyelashes and laughed.
He kissed her, and they boarded the Alpine lift. She had her hands on him as soon as they were away from the boarding platform.
���Tessa, you���re very naughty.���
���This would be fun in the dark, you know what, there is a playground at the camp, I want to sit on your lap and swing tonight,��� she bit her lip.
���Sounds like fun, baby,��� he said trying to control his breathing. ���Baby you got to stop, I need time to calm down.���
���Fine.���
He laughed. And she leaned her head on his shoulder. He kissed her head.
They spent the rest of the day at the pool and on water slides. Tessa and Lucas lay on their stomachs to tan their backs. Jade and Ryan left early to head back, she said she was tired, but Tessa knew otherwise. Molly and Cory went ahead of them. They lounged holding each other and talking until the park closed.
���I had such a great time today Lucas, thank you,��� she kissed his cheek on their walk back to camp.
It was so nice being in public with him, there was nothing sexual going on after the chair lift and the very playful Lucas was so much fun.
���Me too, baby,��� he smiled.
She grinned, baby huh? Too many people around and she would hate to get poison ivy on her butt. Well, her knees would be fine she thought as she pulled him into the woods.

Alex, Phoebe, Kendall and Jake were there when they walked up to the cabin. Phoebe hugged Tessa, and she cringed.
���Oh, boy Tessa ��� you got burnt today,��� she said.
���I guess I did,��� Tessa said.
���We used sunscreen,��� Lucas said as he looked her over. ���Sorry, I thought I did a good job putting it on.���
���Tessa that’s going to hurt,��� Jake���s face scrunched up.
���I���ll be fine. Did you guys bring bikes?��� Tessa asked, and they shook their heads yes. ���We
ll let���s ride down to the little store and get some Aloe, that���ll help.���
They rode their bikes and Lucas and Tessa walked behind them. The store was full of temptations for the kids. Tessa had no problem saying no. Lucas went back in and bought half of the things they had asked for. Tessa shook her head when he came out with two bags full of stuff.
���You are so bad.���
Phoebe, Jade, and Molly were setting up for dinner when they got back. Alex and Ryan played catch with the kids. Lucas took Tessa in the camp to help apply the Aloe. She pulled her hair up in a bun and started rubbing her shoulders and arms. Lucas locked the door to the bedroom and carefully took her clothes off her.
���Laydown, I���ll take care of you.��� She did, and he applied the lotion to her back, he put some on her butt.
���Lucas that was covered��� she laughed.
���Leave me alone baby,��� he laughed.
He continued rubbing her butt and the back of her legs and up her thighs.
���Roll over please,��� he said, his voice deep.
���It needs to dry Lucas.���
He started lightly blowing on her to dry it, it felt good.
���Lucas��� she whispered.
���Shhh,��� he said and continued.
She laid there and enjoyed until she was dry.
She rolled over, and he squirted it on her belly and slowly rubbed it in. She closed her eyes and tried to relax. He moved up and applied more. Her eyes opened as he moved lower.
���Lucas, please��� she whispered.
���It has to dry,��� he continued up her inner thigh.
He began to blow on her again. She couldn���t stand it.
���You have to stop,��� she whimpered.
He continued and shook his head no, keeping his eyes on her body. She saw his jaw tighten, and he went down. She buried her head in a pillow as she came. She sat up and pushed him beside her and straddled him. It was very hard to be quiet, but they managed.
He grabbed one of his tee shirts and helped her put it on. He knelt down and kissed her belly and held out her shorts for her to step into.
���Love you, baby,��� he whispered.
She applied Aloe to his golden back and chest. They walked out, and everyone was eating. They sat down and ate with them. They talked about their plans for the next day. The kids were excited to go to the water park the next day.
They arrived home on Sunday afternoon. Lucas helped them carry their stuff inside and put things away.
���I���m going to take off,��� he kissed her; ���I���ll see you tomorrow at about two?���
���I want to go with you and help you get ready for the week.���
���You should probably stay home; all I���m going to do is laundry. Oh and go for a run a little later, I haven���t done that in awhile. I���m probably going to regret that tomorrow��� he laughed.
���Okay,��� she said softly, ���Text when you get home?���
���Of course��� he smiled. ���See you tomorrow, I love you.���
Her phone chimed, and it was him
- Home��� LL
- Sore��� LT
- Sorry, baby��� LL
- Not all of it is your fault, lol��� LT
- I hope not��� LL
- call me later?.... LT
- of course��� LL
- I love you��� LT
- I love you too baby. I love us��� LL
- So sweet, I love us too��� LT
The week was busy; Lucas was in Syracuse from nine until two every day and should probably be staying with his team, but wanted to be home. Tessa was helping coach Kendall���s field hockey team and helping Lucas���s mother move. Jade and Ryan would be moving in the house in two weeks.
- LUCAS!! I miss you!... LT
- At lunch missing you too, what���s your plan for the weekend? There is a party up here Saturday night a bunch of my team is getting together, will you come with me?... LL
- After practice, I���m heading up there to take Kendall and Jake school shopping, can you meet us? If you don���t want to��� I get it. Of course, I���ll go with you tomorrow���. LT
- I���ll meet you at two- thirty, when will you be up?... LL
- We are leaving in about thirty minutes��� LT
- Drive safe baby, I love you��� LL
- I love you s���mores��� LT
CHAPTER TWENTY
Kendall would be going into tenth grade and had grown a lot over the summer. She wanted a different style than last year. She was beautiful, tall and thin. Her hair was long and curly like Tessa���s.
They went into the trendy stores and quickly spent the money her parents had given them. Jake wanted to wait for Lucas, he thought he may know a little more about guy clothes, Tessa agreed.
- Where are you?.. LL
- third floor take the elevator we will meet you there��� LT
He got off the elevator; he had just showered and smelled amazing. She hugged him, and he kissed her.
���You sure about this?���
���Yeah, it’ll be fun,��� Lucas said.
���I don���t know��� Jake wants you to help him pick out stud clothes��� she laughed. ���I want to take Kendall to get some new underclothes. Lucas��� she has boobies now,��� she whispered.
He laughed, ���Alright you go ahead I got Jake.���
They met back an hour later. Jake had five bags including one from the shoe store. Kendall hid her pink bag inside another bag, she was embarrassed. Tessa winked at Lucas, and he laughed.
���Lucas bought me the sneakers mom said I couldn’t waste money on,��� Jake announced.
���That was very nice of him,��� she scowled at Lucas.
���Tessa bought me some things Mom told me I couldn���t get to,��� Kendall said and Tessa���s face turned red.
���Secret Kendall?���
Lucas laughed and scowled. Tessa hugged him.
���Have you gotten your school clothes yet Tessa?���
���Not yet. I figured after I help you unpack Sunday I would come over, retail therapy will help distract me,��� she smiled.
���Kendall and Jake, I think we should help her pick out some clothes, what you think?��� he asked.
They went into a couple stores, and anything she tried on that touched her body he said no. He handed her clothes a size bigger than she wore. She came out, and he gave her the thumbs up, and Kendall and Jake laughed.
���Good. I think this is perfect to wear to your games,��� she said.
���No, I���ll pick you up some game day clothes, I hope you like orange��� he smiled.
They left, and she had a few pairs of jeans and some long sleeved tees. She thought they would be perfect for game days in the chilly fall upstate New York weather.
���You do know I���ll be coming back,��� she said to Lucas.
They all laughed. They stopped, and he grabbed some stuff for him. Mostly athletic clothes. They planned to hang out at the Ross���s that night after they moved the rest of Lucas���s mom���s things.
* * *
They looked at the empty house, and Lucas smiled.
���Weird to have her stuff gone.���
���Lucas she���s just twenty minutes away,��� Tessa said and smiled at him.
���I know, and she has been doing really well.���
���It’s time for you to worry about what Lucas needs,��� she smiled.
/>
���I need one thing Tessa, you��� he hugged her.
���Food and water too,��� she said laughing.
���Do you know it has been a year Tessa, a year ago I saw you and knew I needed you? I just didn���t know how badly,��� he said softly.
���The white hat boys,��� she giggled.
���The scowling farm girl who had no idea how hot she was or how she could change this naughty boy,��� he kissed her. ���It has been a crazy year Tessa; I wouldn���t have made it without you, thank you.���
���Lucas thank you. I���m so glad that even though I never would have imagined life could be so perfect even through chaos it���s been, I love you more than I ever imagined possible,��� she kissed him.
He picked her up and carried her upstairs.
* * *
Saturday morning she woke to a situation and was very annoyed. Well, at least last night was perfect; his entire house had been used before she returned home.
Her phone chimed, and it was him
- Good morning baby, there is a bag in the back of your Jeep. Grab it there���s an outfit and swimsuit for today, text me back and tell me what you think?.... LL
There wasn���t a bag, there were three. Two were full of SU apparel, and a note, GAME DAY. Another contained some of the clothes she had tried on the day before and he had nixed, attached was another note I TRUST YOU, NOT THE BOYS. The other was obviously for today. A hot pink swim outfit, boy shorts and a halter top with a wrap skirt. A pair of khaki loose fitting wide legged pants and a black tight tank top and a cropped denim jacket.
- Lucas thank you. I am not sure about the swim attire, I have a SITUATION. Which sucks!... LT
- I will pick you up in an hour, the situation is unfortunate, bring the suit anyway. The fact that it SUCKS will make it much easier to deal with, lol��� LL
She laughed and showered
- how would you like my hair?... LT
- wrapped around my hands��� LL
