Ron and Sue stood up together and thanked Sam for his report and lastly Ron said, “You will be receiving a document of certificate of marriage in the near future.”
Sam, with a big smile gave them both congratulations and saw them to the front of the secretary’s door.
In the lobby of the office building that held more than one law firm and a bank that just so happened to be the bank his father told him to visit, they walked into the main branch of Bank of America. Ron found a person with a placard of “New Accounts” and introduced both he and Sue. The well dressed middle aged woman with a bankers smile asked them to take a chair and what could she do to help them. Ron dug out his driver’s license and told her a bank transfer was either here or on the way from his father. Ms. Brown picked up the license and told them to wait a minute while she checked it out. Five minutes later she was back with an apologetic look and said, “Sorry Mr. Filbert but it usually takes a few days for a bank transfer to come in.”
“And I don’t mean to be pushy but would you please check with your bank manager or president and see if he or she has word from Ronald Filbert the Second?
“Of course, please wait again,” as she scurried off to find someone to take responsibility other than her. Ten minutes went by and he saw Ms. Brown following a yuppie looking guy with a pasted smile on showing off white teeth and a baby faced look about him. Soft and a little pudgy looking, with short hands and stubby fingers sticking out for a handshake, looked at Ron like a long lost friend just back for a walk around the world.
A Mr. Lathsworth said, “Mr. Filbert, I was sort of expecting your call, but now I see you are here. Would you please follow me to my office,” as his gaze settled on Sue who if she hadn’t her cane with her, Ron would have known he was in the presence of a one beautiful woman. Mr. Lathsworth couldn’t keep his eyes of Sue as Ron smiled inwardly.
Twenty minutes later with the bank manager’s calling card and some blank checks with his signature on them Ron and Sue went to lunch in the basement deli. Once seated Sue said, “Ok, buster who are you? I think you took advantage of a blind person to just get into her pants,” she said with a big smile and head held high.
“Ok a confession if you will,” as he held her hands in his. “My father is very rich and I’m an only son with a sister. We have a good relationship and they love me very much as I do them. The last word I sent was from Montana on a postcard saying I was fine and don’t worry. I’d planned to tell you soon, but I’ve been so busy tending to my love making I haven’t had time to call them,” he said with a squeeze of the delicate fingers inside his hands.
“Ok, I forgive you and what about the advance on your wages you mentioned just a day or so ago,” she chided.
“Oh that, well you offered me a job, but never told me what the salary was. I go my own way and by the way when is payday?” he laughed out loud and people were beginning to stare at them.
Lunch out of the way they taxied to the car dealer and soon were at the State License Bureau getting a new driver’s license for Ron. After that they took a little drive around their neighborhood and went home parking their new van in front of the garage. Sue went in the house to catch up on some computer work while Ron stayed with the van looking more closely at the strange to him vehicle. It was late in the afternoon with a mostly cloudy sky, but no rain forecast. Ron was about to shut the sliding door and lock the van up when he heard and then saw aunt Bee’s old car pull up at the sidewalk. The old car as usual had a blue cloud of smoke drift over it. The car as she lumbered out, using the door for handicap leverage, with overtired springs rose up she stared at Ron watching her with a smirk.
Waddling over she said, with her usual smokers voice, “Just the man I want to see and if I might ask, where you did you get this new van?”
Ron was up for a game of words with her and said, “At the car dealer.”
“I can see that mister Filbert, now I have something to offer you in exchange for you disappearing out of our lives.” She walked up closer to him with the van sliding door still open. She handed him a fat envelope and he took it looking inside seeing a wad of one hundred dollar bills. He looked up at her waiting for her to stick her foot in her mouth. She continued by saying, “There’s five thousand in the envelope and now takes it and go away.”
Ron replied sitting down on the edge of the van leaving turtle butt standing, “What would Sue say about this bribe?”
“She is too young and inexperienced to handle adult things in my opinion. Now, as it is growing late I’ll go see Sue and when I come back out I expect you to be gone.”
Ron grew a little grim and said, “You’ve had your way too long and I’m here to stay. This envelope of money is pocket change in my family. Let me tell you a story and then you can disappear to Arizona. First I hold an MBA from Harvard and for twenty years a successful stock broker. I’m an only son of one of the richest men in America. My father at last report in Forbes was nineteen on the list of the super rich. This is my van which today I paid over twenty five thousand cash for it. Now you offer me five thousand as a bribe when I’ll inherit close to a billion dollars when my parents leave this earth? Come on aunt Bee, Sue is an adult. Treat her like one. If I chose to and I wouldn’t because of my love for your niece I could make life very miserable for you. Now take the money and put it back where you got it and leave us alone. Go to Arizona and search your soul and come back asking for forgiveness,” as he slid the door shut to finalize the conversation.
Aunt Turtle Butt stood there with her mouth hanging open sucking and exhaling fetid breath wheezing then turned and walked away looking like a duck out of water. Her old car fired up in a blast of blue smoke and she drove off. Ron went in the house as a wind freshened bringing the promise of a rainy night.
Chapter VIII
Ron found Sue banging away on the computer and gave her kiss on the top of her head and left quietly. She murmured sounds of acceptance and continued writing from memory. Inwardly she smiled as what she wrote was a new novel and deep down hoped he would like it. Ron meanwhile sat reading by the standup floor lamp the photography books. Next to him on the small table was her laptop and when he browsed through the mags, he turned to the computer surfing the how to sites for armature camera buffs.
About two hours later, pitch dark outside and Ron looked out the window across the street to see if it was raining through the glow from the street light. A fine mist was falling and silently Sue walked up behind him circling her arms around his waist laying her head against his back. He said, while holding her arms next to his body, “Want to go out for dinner or stay home and build a fire and get naked?”
“I want to do both. I’m selfish and want it all. I think when the baby comes I won’t be having much freedom, so now let’s experience and fill up our days enjoying each other's company. I fear you’ll get sick of me hanging on you, but I’m deleting twenty years of loneliness like it’s my last day on earth changing it to happiness in only a few days, weeks and months. I have no experience with a relationship and will make lots of mistakes. Okay enough of that. Take me to dinner in a nice restaurant in our new car.”
Ron had no idea where a nice restaurant was so he drove around towards the interstate and promptly got lost. No idea where he was at Sue was laughing her head off and Amy in the back seat thought it was time to play. Ron spotted a Chinese place in a strip mall and that was good enough for him. Sue told Amy to wait and she took Ron’s arm with her cane and they both took a deep breath smelling soy sauce and garlic mixed with onions and whatever else filled the large dining room making them both hungry.
They sat in a circle booth so close together it was lucky for Ron he was to her left so he could use his right hand. When dinner came Ron helped her telling her what was what and guiding her fork to the plate. Observers might think it was a chore for him, but he loved the sensual act touching her hand while she ate. She said, “I’ve had take out Chinese before, but this is much nicer than eating at the tab
le out of the small boxes they give you.” Ron munching on some cashew chicken grunted his approval. For the first time he noticed she could use either hand doing different things while he was only right handed.
While eating she transferred her fork to her left hand a moved her right hand to his thigh sending shock waves through his body as she gently rubbed his crotch. She never changed expressions and continued her rubbing until his member filled with the liquid of pleasure. Now he was greatly disturbed as the food now tasted bland while he thought of only making love to her again and again till he couldn’t move. Was this lust or love he thought. Lust was for twenty and thirty year olds, not for guys over forty, he thought. Meanwhile she quit teasing him and continued to eat leaving him hurting for room in his new pants. Never mind he said to no one under his breath and continued with some deep fried prawns dipping them in a hot soy sauce.
Afterwards they drank tea and talked about what they would do tomorrow. Ron said, “I’m wondering how to get home. I’m lost and have no idea where we are, let alone what we are doing tomorrow.”
Sue said not to worry as their new van had location and address with a map to tell them where they are and how to get to the address. “I heard the saleslady tell us about the neat accessory, but you will have to locate it and program the destination.”
Ron listened with both ears and felt a little better, but would feel lots better home lying on the floor making love to her now that dinner was over. He said, “Well, let’s go and give it a try,” as they rose to leave taking the bill to the counter. Ron gave his new credit card from his father faxing the bank to make one for him now rather than later. It was just before time to leave the bank when a courier out of breath delivered the card. The banker looked at it and raised his eyebrows over his pudgy baby cheeks and said, “They’re only a few cards like this in Seattle. Gates has one and the Boeing CEO also has one. This card has no limit,” as he handed it to Ron.
Now Ron gave the Chinese man his card and waited for him to run it through the machine. The Chinese man had never seen a card like this one and spent two minutes looking it over before he ran it through the machine. Ron signed it and he compared signatures. Apparently satisfied he handed it back with a small smile and a low bow thinking he had someone special tonight. Later they laughed about it and Ron told her from now he didn’t need a draw on his salary as she slugged him in the arm laughing so hard she almost wet her pants.
Twenty minutes later after discovering how to use the locator they followed the ever changing map to home. Both were full and tired from a long day so they called it a night and snuggled up and went to dream land with Amy next to the bed on a rug.
Ron woke early and slipped out of bed and went to bathroom. He brushed his teeth and vowed to make an appointment at a dentist to clean his teeth and a check up. It was still dark out and he turned the heat on and jumped back into bed waking his love with kisses on the neck and with his hands under her night shirt playing with the hardening nipples as he moaned with pleasure. She broke away and told him she would be back in minute hurrying to the bathroom. Ron looked at the ceiling that was painted a faded mauve with wall paper of yesteryear. Ugly flowers a pale yellow off set with a dull red back ground. Family pictures sat on her dresser incongruous with her sight. The rug was worn out with thread bare patches here and there. The only thing new was the bed. Ron decided a remodel was on his list and he would talk to Sue about it. Now when she paddled back shivering from the morning cold, jumping on top of him she buried her face in his neck and then soft kisses turned to wet and the love making was on.
Next thing he knew she was between his legs swallowing his member making it hard in no time. Ron realized she was gaining experience quickly and then she straddled him with her long hair falling over her face while she guided him to her wet waiting love spot. When she felt the first entry she gasped a little and worked her way down to the bottom staying there enjoying the fullness as she flipped her hair back while raising her head to the ceiling; while Ron looked at her small breasts arched out with hard nipples begging to be touched. He kept his hands to the side of her waist and slowly then faster she moved her hips up and down her arms straight to the sides of his waist. He couldn’t take his eyes of her slightly bouncing breasts as she moved faster and faster as she came with almost a scream from her mouth as he too let loose with his orgasm. Ron first thoughts as his breathing recovered was if he was fertile there would be little doubt one of the billion or so sperm would find a home in an egg. A smile creased his face as she lay on him still shaking from the passion just completed. Ron with his arms around her said through a dry mouth, “How about a shower and I want a cup of coffee really bad. You are going to be the death of me if you keep this up,” he whispered with a slap to her cute butt.
“What’s the matter Mr. Filbert I thought all men were ready all the time. I’ll tell you what I will do, I’ll leave you alone until tonight and that is a promise,” she said in a sexy voice of love while crawling off of him walking to the shower. Ron rather meekly followed her to the shower where the familiar smell of her shampoo filled his nose. A special wash job on both bodies rounded off a nice bout of love making followed by the mutual wash made both hungry for breakfast and especially Ron’s fresh ground coffee beans. Ironically Sue had a cup of coffee too when she sat down at the breakfast table. While she was getting dressed Ron had made some toast out of English muffins. Coming home last night Ron made a quick run into a Safeway and grabbed a dozen eggs, strawberry jam and some English muffins.
“Honey would you make some scrambled eggs for us. If you do that I will send you to heaven and back later tonight,” he said with a smooth talking voice with honey dripping off it.
“Now how can I refuse such an offer?” Then she came around the table and gave him a toothpaste kiss. “Let me feed Amy first and then she can do her job outside. She’s as regular as clock work and I can hear her tail swishing back and forth waiting for her breakfast.”
“I’m in no hurry and I want to go outside and look at the interior of our van and see what we can do to make it travel worthy. We need to go shopping for some outdoor camping type things like ice chest, sleeping bags, blankets, and on and on. It’s cold here and if we go to the mountains we need the proper things, especially sleeping bags when you get naked and I can’t keep you warm enough long enough,” heard by Sue the implications and the anticipation of the sojourn.
Ron went to the garage and found a shovel to clean up after Amy and then mentally checked out the inside of the van. The seats in the back came out easily and soon he had them stored in the garage. On his last trip he stood and stared at the statue of Sue feeling a lump rising in his throat. He ran his hands over the smooth stone and then gave her a finger kiss and went to the house for breakfast.
Once more drinking another cup of coffee Ron asked, “Tell me what your schedule might be. I’m going to call my parents in a few minutes and tell them all there is about us and what we're doing.”
Sue responding saying, “Like before I want to go up to the North Cascades and slowly take in the scenery with you practicing camera work; then on over to the east side to Wenatchee a tourist town with orchards of apples. After that we come back over the interstate crossing through Snoqualmie Pass down to Bellevue and back home. I have a map and while you drink your coffee you can see where we are going. We head north to Sedro Woolley and then northeast to the North Cascades. Wait a minute I’ll be right back,” as she left for her office.
After she gave Ron the map she washed the dishes and he browsed the map tracing where they were going. After that he told her he would call his parents and left for the living room taking the portable phone with him. For the next hour Ron answered each and every question his parents had except the last one: when are you getting married?
Ron laughed and told them after this trip he would call again and give them a date. The last thing his father and mother told him was how much they wanted to see a grand baby. Ron told the
m not to worry that they were working hard to provide them with maybe more than one grandchild. His mother chastised him and his father just gave off his usual barrel laugh telling his son he would spread the word at the club tomorrow when he played golf. Finally his father turned serious and said, “Son you know we’ve more money than we could ever spend in ten life times. You made our day for the first time in your life asking for some help. I told the banker not to let it drop below one hundred and have some fun now that you are back with us. We love you,” he said with a choked voice and hung up. Ron had tears running down his face when Sue came in and instantly felt him sad or worried about something. She awkwardly sat in his lap in the overstuffed arm chair and felt his face feeling his tears running down his face.
Sue laid her head on his shoulder and asked very quietly, “Honey is everything all right?”
“Yes, everything is fine. I’m just so damn happy and so are my parents. I so want to see them again. Let’s, if you want, have a Christmas wedding.”
“Oh God yes,” as she licked his salty tears that led to his mouth where she locked on and would let go until he satisfied her need with is tongue roaming around her mouth. Sue felt the hardness under her and with a deep throat sound said, “If we keep this up we will never get to the mountains,” and she rose up announcing she was ready to leave when he was.
Ron before had looked through the phone book for an outdoor store that sold quality goods. He settled on a store called R.E.I. He packed up their new backpacks and some outdoor clothes and left with Amy sitting between them in the back. Riding in a car was not new, but she could feel the excitement of the trip. Following the map they made their way across town to the outdoor store. Almost two hours later they left with a van full of stuff and a credit card amount that would shock most people. For Sue’s benefit he described the store and everything they bought from socks to hats, sleeping bags to a tent, cooking items to food storage and both laughed when they headed out of town north on I-5 for the North Cascades. Like kids in a candy store they named each item and color for the record.
