After the Reunion Ch. 21

Anyway, back to the store. Addie was right. If Susan would want to manage the new store, neither of us would have to spend hardly any time there. She's been with us since the day Addie opened her first store. She would be perfect for a mostly unsupervised manager. "Why don't you talk to her, see if she would be interested," I told her. Between having Susan to manage and if what Ginger said about the furniture store worked out, Addie could probably open a store relatively quickly. Besides, she already had someone who could take Susan's place - Sheila, the over-qualified woman Susan had hired not long ago. Everyone could come out ahead. I know that Sheila could sure use the big raise she'd get.

"Hon," Addie asked me, "last night, did you hear me when I mentioned Nick wanting me to pose for him?"

I had heard her, just completely forgotten about it in the, umm, excitement. "Yeah, heard you, but it kind of went over me at the time."

Addie laughed, "Can't imagine why!" She went on, "If it's okay with you, I thought I'd ask him to come over here, maybe in a couple weeks?"

Yeah, right AFTER our two weeks. And the idea sounded exciting as hell to me. I already had a crazy idea going through my head. "Yeah, sounds like fun. Ask him."

We went to bed and Addie was true to her word. I'd gone to bed wearing my boxers like always, but when Addie came out of the bathroom stark naked, she pulled down the covers and told me, "Off," pointing toward my underpants. She wasn't satisfied with simply sleeping on her side of the bed, either. She snuggled tight, her breasts pressing against me and wrapped her arms around me, kissing me like she does when she initiates sex. Then with her head snuggled in the crook of my neck, she says, "Sleep. Two weeks." Damn!! I was already rock-hard, NOT looking forward to two weeks of this.

Tuesday morning, I had a plan involving Nick and Addie. I made a phone call and made some arrangements that I hoped would cure my problem for that morning. Then I texted Ginger and asked her about seeing her again, I knew it had to be after Sunday, the nineteenth. Then Monday and Tuesday were volleyball nights and Thursday was Thanksgiving, so we'd have a long family weekend, then volleyball again. 'Won't be free till the 29th. After that?'

That reminded me, Tawns' Playboy was going to be out that Monday! The combination of seeing her Playmate spread and another night with Ginger had me hard all over again. Not to minimize both of the erotic influence of either of those, but it didn't take much to send extra blood to my cock. Twelve more friggin' days!

That afternoon, the guy I'd called about Addie's 'Nick day' stopped by the house to be sure he knew exactly what I wanted. He looked over my little project, measured and told me it would be done by Friday, the seventeenth. It was a bit embarrassing as it was pretty obvious what the purpose of my project was.

I took Katie and Kevin to the volleyball game that night. Addie usually doesn't come home between work and the game and she didn't that night either, not that I'd expected her to. I was just kind of... you know... hoping.

The girls were sitting on the sidelines waiting for another match to end. I was surprised to see my dad sitting in the bleachers, alone, without my mom.

Another surprise, Samuel was sitting with Livvy a few rows up and a little off to the left of my dad.

I greeted my dad and the kids gave him a brief hug, then they rushed off to sit with their friend, Livvy. I told Dad I'd be right back, went over and greeted Samuel.

"Surprised to see you," I told him.

"Yeah, Nicki asked if I could spend a few days," he said with a smile.

I was pleased. "Glad she did," then I glanced down at my dad and told Samuel, "sorry, gotta run. My dad's here. First game he's come to."

"Cool," he said, then his eyes went back to the girls sitting on the bottom row of bleachers, "love those uniforms!"

"Yeah, plus me and every other guy here." We fist bumped. In spite of the history he had with Addie, I actually liked the guy.

Then I stepped back down the bleachers to where my dad was and sat with him. "One of our manager's boyfriend, from Sacramento," I told him. I pointed out Nicki to him and he nodded, understanding. Nicki was the only Black playing and Samuel the only one in the bleachers. Like I said before, Boise is not particularly populated with African-Americans.

"Surprised to see you here," I told Dad

"Thought it'd be fun to watch a game... some costumes!"

"Yeah, they are, aren't they? They've been getting quite a bit of attention. Adriana and Kayla found them last June... thought it'd be fun... maybe attract a little more interest in intramural volleyball." Those uniforms were sexy as hell; dark blue tights, oval-shaped cutouts all the way up the legs to the waist, nothing but a gold sports bra on top.

The match was just ending and Addie's team and their opponent were getting ready to start theirs, volleying the ball back and forth, just to get warmed up. It was a friendly competition, after all... well, mostly.

Dad and I sat quietly watching their first game start. It was fairly obvious that it was going to be a relatively short match, Addie's team was getting better every week and the team they were playing was hardly any competition.

"How's Mom?" I asked Dad.

He looked over at me, shrugging his shoulders, "I dunno... seems like she's been acting weird lately. Been spending a lot of time with Laura. That's where she is tonight... met her for dinner." He paused a bit, then went on, "Seems like she's been nervous. I don't know how to explain it, but... like last Saturday when we were at Laura and Travis's for dinner. They were both acting weird till they went off and hid for a while and came back with constant glances at each other and me and Travis. We played Pinochle, but seemed like they were distracted the whole time." He laughed, "Travis and I beat them so bad!"

I couldn't help but laugh to myself. I knew exactly what was going on and ached to tell him what their wives had been intending for that night.

"Now, she's invited them to dinner at our house next Saturday... we haven't spent this much time with them since you and Adriana got married."

And I would LOVE to be a mouse hiding in a closet next Saturday! Dad was going to have the surprise of his life - unless they chickened out again.

"I don't know, maybe just the mid-life thing... but I wouldn't worry about it, she's just got stuff on her mind, I'm sure" I suggested, "couldn't be a nicer, more fun couple to be spending some time with, though."

"Yeah, there is that... and Laura's not half bad to look at, either," he laughed, "guess I'll just enjoy it while it lasts."

Our attention went back to the game for a few minutes. Addie's team was already ahead eight-two. While we watched, Tammy, one of Addie's players, went flying through the air with her arms outstretched after a spiked ball and bounced it up to Kayla, giving her a perfect ball to spike and the score was nine-two. Then Crystal sent a service barely over the net that there was no chance to return. Ten-two. "They're good," Dad said.

"Yeah, pretty much anticipating a league championship... there's only one other team that MIGHT be able to compete," I told him. "They're getting better every week. Adriana's a good coach and she has good players." I explained to him that this was Nicki's first time playing since high school and we could see how good a player she's becoming.

We spent the rest of the evening watching the volleyball and talking about odds and ends; Thanksgiving plans, how the stores are doing, some of the silly antics of Dad's students, and a little more about how weird Mom is acting. Damn, I'd love to tell him that his most far-out fantasy is likely to be surpassed in a few days. I couldn't wait to talk to him in a week.

They won the first game twenty-one - seven and the second twenty-one - nine. Their matches are two games out of three and they rarely had to play the third.

I'd periodically glanced at the kids to be sure they were being okay for Samuel, not a problem. It looked like between the three of them they were chatting pretty steadily.

Another night sleeping naked with my naked wife, even more turned on from the sexy uniforms and the conversation with Dad, thinking about what he didn't know was in store for him in four days.

Addie had been surprised that Samuel was there. Nicki hadn't said anything about it. I could tell that she was pleased. Her heart was really set on those two being an item... hopefully, permanently. Her only worry was the possibility of losing Nicki to Sacramento. But I guess she was willing to pay that price if it came to it.

The next few days were pretty much normal. Well, except for the nights, getting hornier every night. Addie was still insisting that I sleep naked, but she was cheating. She'd started wearing clothes to bed... well, if you consider baby-doll nightgowns and silk camisole tops as clothes. In all fairness to her, she never wore any panties, so I guess that pretty much counted as naked.

She'd come to bed, throw her leg over me and press herself tight to me, usually with a long, drawn-out lots-of-tongue kiss. God, that bare pussy so agonizingly, enticingly close... yet so far! She hadn't been kidding about not making these two weeks easy, for either of us.

Thursday evening, Addie told me she'd mentioned the possibility of a store in Kennewick to Susan. "She was more than a little interested, said if we did she'd love the opportunity." She watched me, expectantly.

"Any idea how much time you'd have to spend there?" I asked her.

"I don't think much. Probably to check out the building Ginger told you about, find out what they'd charge for rent; then if it was a go, I'd turn pretty much everything over to Susan, except the legalities... and 'Chelle knows an attorney who could handle that for us... and we do know an accountant who can help with the financials in Washington." I couldn't help but smile at that. Michelle has now become 'Chelle'. Women and their nicknames!

But more seriously, it sounded to me like Addie had already pretty much made up her mind. She had a building, a manager who could do everything from beginning to opening and beyond, an attorney and even an accountant, Jocelyn and Cameron, from the strip club night in Umatilla. Addie told me that 'Chelle was going to check on them for her and see if they're good.

And most importantly, Addie had a place to stay when she did need to go to Richland... with Nick, in his bed.

I actually liked the whole concept, not excluding the 'place to stay'. It had seemed to me that Addie had started to become a little bored with her four stores. Expansion is in her soul... along with something else. And I had every confidence that Addie and Susan would turn it into a major money-maker.

Besides, it would give me an occasional excuse to go to Richland, too. I too had a place to stay. With a very attractive... and hot, redhead. Not that something like that would cloud my good judgment.

"I think," I started to tell her, "that you should do it."

Addie beamed. "I'm not going to Ontario till next week. But then I'll talk to Susan, make sure she's really serious, see when we can go check out that building."

So it was decided. Addie was going to try and open another store, this time close to three-hundred miles away. With the added benefit of a warm, snuggly bed to sleep in, for both of us.
