Felicity Ch. 16

Mother and daughter zoomed out of the kitchen each carrying a box and announced I was driving. Since I was the only one that did not know where the school was I thought it was fair.

Juanita had me go down streets I have never driven before. They suddenly had me stop in front of a store that looked like a Woolworth's. An older black lady was sitting by the door and I sensed Janie sign to her. The woman signed back that she was going to whip both her and her mother. Janie and Juanita stuck their tongues out at her and she stuck hers out. I had never seen eyes smile so brilliantly as that woman's did.

After I resumed driving Juanita said, "That is Bernice. Since Aunt Rosa became blind and moved to the assisted living facility Bernice has inherited the mantle of everyone's grandmother. Aunt Rosa was the benevolent one, Bernice is the terrible one."

"Why is she the terrible one?"

"She thinks the girls are so busy they are missing the joys of motherhood. She has ordered all of the girls to get pregnant and nags them about it. She does enjoy all the hugs and kisses she gets from the girls and that does shut her up for a while. Karen and Janie pick on her unmercifully.

"Your Aunt Rosa, how did she rule the roost?"

"She bribed everyone with her cooking, especially the burritos you love so well. I was too busy trying to be a successful businesswoman and never learned her art.

Thank God Janie did. She stuck by Aunt Rosa every time she went into the kitchen. She knows all the tricks and secrets and is the only person on Earth that does. She will not even tell me. I would have strangled her long ago if it weren't for the burritos. Oww!"

A small hand had reached over from the back seat and punched Juanita on the shoulder. Of course I did notice Juanita signed her last sentence as she spoke it. She had volunteered for the blow.

I had figured out that my route to the school had been amended just for the drive-by insults with Bernice when I suddenly found myself almost driving past the building which turned out to be less than half a mile from my house. I found an unblocked entrance and parked next to a lime green beetle.

As I was helping the ladies with the boxes a tall redheaded guy drove up. He got hugs and kisses from Juanita and Janie and was introduced to me as James, Lucy's husband and the head of the high school science department. He took one box and I took the other and we followed the ladies inside. The outside of the building looked finished but the interior was not close to being ready. Electricians, plumbers and painters were everywhere.

We found what was to be the office and went in. Shirley and Lucy were laughing at something Martha had just said. Everyone kissed everyone, (except for Shirley and James), and attacked the boxes. This time I quickly grabbed my two fish tacos and found a corner to wolf them down. James did the same thing with his enchiladas. We really did not have to worry because Janie and Juanita figured others would be there and we had plenty.

It was the first day the building had been open to school personnel but Shirley, Martha and Lucy were wearing hardhats.

Shawna came in and after kissing all of us she grabbed a small bag, donned a hardhat and went in search of her husband. Sammy was heading the electrical crew and Juanita had packed some tacos for them. There was lots of food and everyone was happy until Maggie came in and took the last of the fish tacos. She was bombarded with French fries several of which she managed to catch and eat before they hit the floor. Apparently the others had been eyeing the taco for themselves.

After things settled down Maggie told us, "Jason just won an award, this one actually had a cash prize to it."

Martha said, "At last. I am not complaining about Jason. I am complaining about all these societies that give him awards and no money."

"Which photo was it Maggie?" Lucy asked.

"The one of Bernie in the park when he was teaching the boys how to play chess."

"Oh I really like that picture. Bernice was so proud it shut her up for a week," Lucy said. "Wait till she finds out."

"She is finding out now. Jason just went there to tell Bernie and give him half the prize money," Maggie said.

I had expected some smart remark about that from Martha but what I saw was pride. I was already a fan of hers since she gave Shirley a job but I became fond of her when I saw that.

I mentioned that I needed to get back to work, apparently the one and only person that needed to do so.

Juanita said, "Hold on, " and punched two numbers on her phone. "Carly, I have Charles tied up looking over some stuff for me, he will be back a little late.

Now what do you mean by that? And what makes you think I am not entirely truthful?

"Because I am walking into the school office right now and there better be a burrito left."

Carly was indeed walking in and she had another small redhead with her. The two jumped into James arms for a kiss then jumped into Lucy's arms for a kiss and kissed everyone else.

Carly covered her mother's face with kisses. When she was done Martha stopped her from leaving her side and pointed to a place by her jaw line and told her, "You missed a spot." Carly apologized and licked where her mother had pointed.

Martha said, "Ewww."

"The new redhead inspected Shirley's lips for damage, saw that they were healed so she kissed her lips as she said, Hi, I'm Charlie, James' sister." She came to me and kissed my cheek and said, "You must be Charles. Wow, you are taller than James."

Janie signed, "He is taller than Sammy."

Martha said, "I will be the point guard on their basketball team."

Her deadpan delivery of zingers had roped me in before but that time my laughter came with everyone else's.

Charlie turned to Carly and asked, "Any burritos left?"

"One more, Here. Why are there so many fries on the floor?"

"Maggie helped herself to the last fish taco."

"Oh," Carly said with a smile. Apparently food fights were not rare in that clan.

Carly then looked at me and said, "You do need to get back. Jim Stewart needs your help on something, maybe about the upcoming city budget. It's pro bono but take your time. If Uncle Jim needs advice it must be something important."

I kissed Shirley and everyone kissed me except Janie who had decided she needed to get back to work too and was riding over with me.

What our Commissioner of Public Works wanted was a way to bring a small airport to Felicity. He had already prepared a list of hurdles for me and asked me for some ideas on how to get past them. I asked him if he preferred a private company or wanted the city to own it.

"Private," he said. "I know they change hands often and do not always live up to their promises but I do not want to put the managing and maintenance problems on the city."

"How soon do you need this?"

"No hurry. I heard you just got a big job dumped on your lap and I believe you are about to get another. You might start pestering Harry for an assistant."

I laughed, pestering the big boss was out of the realm of possibility for me. I told Jim I would keep him posted and returned to my office.

I drafted my accountant Edna into helping me bring a bookcase to our office workroom then gave her the job of putting Juanita's records on the shelf by year, oldest on the top shelf. I asked her to put the floppy disks and cassettes in smaller boxes by year on the bottom shelf and then get our bookkeeper started on it.

I also said to her, "Don't you get hooked by looking at the old entries fascinating as they are. You will be happy to know that the last three years will be on a disks and happier to learn that Janie did them."

Edna said, "Charles, we need our own secretary. Shirley was a secretary. We need our own secretary."

I smiled and for some reason I kissed her cheek, only the second unsolicited kiss I had ever given in my life. My cock twitched when it recalled that it was inside Shirley's pussy when I gave my first such kiss.

Edna welcomed my kiss.

I said, "Shirley has a job but you are right, we need our own secretary. I will plead and whine to Carly while you scrounge around for one. We want to hire someone the second Carly gives in. Do we need another bookkeeper?"

"If we stay as we are no. If another big account comes in then yes. Neither of us has ever gone home at five and we are a new office. I am afraid we will get swamped and never get out from under"

"You better scrounge around for your second bookkeeper while you are at it then. I will do my best to gain some courage and ask Harry."

Edna smiled at me then embraced me warmly.

"You know, when I first saw that my immediate boss was twelve years old I just about quit. Do you remember what you said to me that day? You told me you needed me. Now here I am hoping you never leave and that if you do you will take me with you."

Edna gave me a long soft kiss on the lips then asked, "Have you told Shirley you are in love with her?"

She gave me another kiss then picked up the first box and took it to our bookkeeper.

I was suffering a mental gridlock when Carly buzzed me and asked me to go to her office. When I got there a stunningly beautiful brunette was with her. I was introduced to Miss Laura DeSilva and informed that Miss DeSilva had decided to become a part time resident of Felicity and that the firm would be handling her needs. Those needs would include the handling of some foreign accounts that she wanted to have easier access to but preferred to keep them where they were for tax purposes.

I gave her a welcome speech and had just started assuring her we would always do our best for her when Janice ran into the office, squealed and jumped into Miss DeSilva's arms. The kiss they shared made me blush.

I noticed Carly did not seem surprised by the interruption or the kiss.

"Do you have what you need from her?" Janice asked Carly.

"Yes, you can abduct her, I guess," Carly answered with a weary voice.

That voice was in contrast with her smile. I suspected it had been Carly that let Janice know who was in her office. It also occurred to me that she was the new account Jim Stewart hinted we were about to get.

Janice gave Carly a big kiss and quickly pulled a delighted Miss DeSilva out with her.

Carly closed the door behind them and asked me to sit down.

"Do you expect to leave Felicity at any time?"

"You mean permanently like for another job? No."

"Do you know if Shirley is bisexual?"

"No, I have no idea if she is or not."

"If your relationship becomes permanent would it bother you to learn she was?"

"As long as it did not interfere with our relationship, probably not."

"Almost every woman you have met in Felicity will be happy to hear that."

"You included?"

She nodded yes. I was not at all surprised by that. I guess that thanks to the many not very subtle clues I had already picked up on it. I was also OK when I realized that it would likely not take much for some of the ladies to seduce Shirley, probably Carly first.

Carly was looking at me as if she expected me to say something. I stood, walked to her and kissed her lips then said, "I need my own secretary and another accountant and bookkeeper."

She laughed and said, "I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you," I said and left the office.

As soon as I walked out I found Edna and I asked, "Are you bisexual?"

"No, I am a lesbian. Why do you ask?"

"Carly seems to think every woman in town wants Shirley."

"We do but nothing is going to happen until you two decide what your relationship is. Since you are both in love with each other I don't expect that to take long. You do realize you love her don't you?"

I kissed her lips and went on to my desk without answering. I did wonder if I was enough of a grown-up to handle my new world.

When I got home that Friday Shirley had a nice dinner for me with some of the wine she had grown to love. We cleared the dishes together after dinner then settled on my love seat naked as usual.

The plan was to watch TV for a while but I never turned it on. I just stared at her. I kissed her often. The color had returned around her eyes. I kissed each of them and added a soft kiss to her nose. She was beautiful.

I decided to be brave for a change and said "I..."

She said the same thing to me at the same time. We both laughed, perhaps a bit nervously, and I invited her to go first.

She said, "I have been thinking that you were likely relieved to see I have a job and will be able to take care of myself soon. It will be many weeks before I get a paycheck but this is a light at the end of the tunnel thing."

She paused for a deep breath. I checked to see if I was breathing. I was not.

She continued, "Having said that I want to make sure you understand I do not want to leave you. I do not want to leave this house. If you ask me to I will leave without tantrums. I will leave grateful that I had you to rescue me during the worst part of my life. I will always be grateful for that.

In the meantime I promise you I will be your best friend and the best, the most passionate and faithful lover you will ever have. I am going to make it as difficult as I can for you to ask me to leave. End of rant. Why are you smiling at me like that?

"Your speech was a lot longer than what I was going to say. I should have gone first."

"What were you going to say?"

"I love you."

"What?"

"I love you, we are going to grow old together."

"You mean you want me to stay?"

"Indefinitely. I want everyone to know this is your permanent address, your home. I want everyone to know that we are living together because we choose to do so not out of necessity. I want everyone to understand we are a couple."

I kissed her softly then looked at her and said, "Believe me. I want you here with me. No time limits, no deadlines, no restrictions, no clothes."

She gave me a soft giggle and I gave her another soft kiss. I felt her tears on my cheek.

"I love you," she said.

I kissed her again. "I love you," I said.

We spent the weekend naked. We visited Timbuktu and Vladivostok in our fucks.

That Sunday afternoon we had a lot of visitors, all of them nude. All the girls begged Shirley to make my cock erect. She promised she would the following Sunday. She knew that I was too shy and too nervous to get one then.

I basically stayed at the grill cooking hamburgers and hot dogs as the women streamed in and out of the house and the yard. Their husbands stayed outside with me, ate and drank beer.

A lot more people than lived on our street showed up at our house that afternoon. I assumed it was simple curiosity on their part about Shirley and me but as I talked to the guys I learned that our loop was the most popular anyway. Almost everyone on our loop had family in the other two loops and they simply rode their bicycles over, most wearing only a t-shirt.

James added that our loops combined backyards had pools, trampolines, fountains, beach volleyball, and an extensive kids playground complete with adorable little girls. The only thing they had needed was a yard with an enormous grill. They raised their beers in salute. I was happy I had splurged on my grill.

James told me that he and Lucy where starting on a trip to San Francisco the next morning. He advised me that Lucy had asked Shirley to go by the school a couple of times a week and check for deliveries. He chuckled and apologized for his wife putting my wife to work so soon and without pay.

"I laughed with him then asked, "San Francisco, why there?

"We have never been there. We are also camping at a few parks along the way that we missed on our first trip together. Our mission is to go where no one has gone before", he added with dramatic flair.

I laughed and said, "I have never been out of the state."

"Then you need to start. A fun nearby planet is New Orleans. Short cheap flights out of The City's nearest airport leave late on Friday and return late on Sunday. It is a great planet to explore and that begins with the food and the music."

We were interrupted when two stunning blondes hugged James and after quick kiss he introduced them to me as his sisters in law, sort of. One of them was named Jana and she really was Lucy's sister. The other one, Inga, was Jana's partner. They ignored my hand and kissed my lips then they glanced at my cock. It remained shy.

"Oh well," they said. "We need to meet Shirley," and went inside.

"James said, "Don't worry about your reaction to the women. They all do prefer that their gorgeous nudity be acknowledged anyway. Let it fly if it wants to."

"You did not react to them either."

"That stopped when I managed to put both of them in the bratty little sisters category. Lucy helped when she swatted my cock every time my erection was for Jana."

"Ouch, that must qualify as tough love."

"Yes, but it is strange that when I get hard for anyone else she seems to be proud of me, like she would to a child that just showed proper manners. She does not mind when it is just Inga, hell she does not mind when it's her mother. Lucy kissed me when she saw my reaction to Shirley, sorry if that bothered you."

"It probably would have except that yours was the fourth or fifth such salute and by then I was embarrassed by my own lack of manners."

James laughed and asked, "Is it true the girls begged Shirley to make you hard?"

"Embarrassingly true."

It was a great Sunday afternoon and I was pleased by our company and very glad that the guys had chosen to be friends with me. That had not been very common for me in my life.

Funny thing, later on as everyone started to drift home the hugs and kisses began to take effect on me and as soon as the last naked ass slipped past Leslie's gate I put Shirley on the picnic table and fucked her hard.

"Thanks, I needed that too," she said.

We agreed that we had just experienced the most amazing afternoon of our lives. We also agreed that a few seemed to sense a change in Shirley's and mine relationship, particularly Karen and Carly, but the question never came up that afternoon.

It did that night.

We had cleaned up and showered, Shirley and I had begun a nice slow fuck then the doorbell rang. Visitors to the front door means clothing everyone had told us so Shirley put on a t-shirt and I put on gym shorts and a t-shirt. It was Karen at the door.

We suspected what she was going to ask so Shirley asked first, "Do you have your cell phone? I have seen how fast everybody communicates with text messages. I need you to fire out a news bulletin.

"Who do you want me to send this message to?"

"Everybody."

"OK, what do you want me to send?"

"That Charles and Shirley.........are an,,,,,, official... couple."

Karen had been busy with the input and it was not until she clicked send that it sank in. She squealed and gave each of us ferocious hugs and big kisses. Before she was done with my hug her phone rang followed closely by Shirley's and mine.

Twenty minutes later we were still answering calls when Marina, and Carly showed up.

"We could not get a call in to any of you so we just walked here." None of the women were wearing anything other than a t-shirt.

We enjoyed our hugs and kisses and when Carly went back for seconds from Shirley I smiled and nodded to her. She grinned and as they kissed Shirley moved one of Carly's hands to her breast before placing her own hand over one of Carly's small breasts. Tongues were exchanged.

Once the kiss and grope ended Carly jumped up and down as she clapped her hands. That confirmed to me that the t-shirt was all she wore. Somehow I thought she was sexier then than she was when she was walking around nude. Maybe it was because that afternoon I was afraid to look at anything but faces.
