Janet pulled Eddie through her door and after the kiss she laid on him he was ready to be rewarded for his cleverness and repenting. However it didn't happen as she had just finished dinner.
"You hungry? I made your favorite" She headed towards the kitchen
"We can eat in a little while when our appetite is a little more energized" Eddie nibbled her neck as she fixed his plate
"What makes you think your getting any energizing tonight"
"Come on, we had a fight. We made up and now it's time to make something else" Eddie had his arms wrapped around her when the power went out.
"A candle lit dinner followed by some oh so satisfying snuggling on the couch????" Janet said to him so perfectly wrapped in estrogen
"Alright, I've got the point"
After dinner and little to no conversation over the long silence next to the dishes on the perfectly set and romantic coffee table Janet just got up without saying a word and having already changed for the night left Eddie wondering. He figured she went back for more wine; they were both already well intoxicated.
After a few minutes and she hadn't come back he found her on the back porch sloshing around barefoot in the water dripping off the eves, her white cotton gown already getting wet droplets from the rain blowing in.
"You're drunk baby" Eddie watched her from the door for a minute before she knew he was there. He wrapped his arms around her not hating the wet cotton of the gown soaking into his skin
"I know" She turned in his arms and the wet coldness of her touch on his face surprised him.
"Are you playing in the rain?" It turned him on like nothing before ever had. He knew in that moment seeing her like that he would have done his damnedest to lay her down had he'd ever seen it before, regardless of their age, individual relationship status's, place, time none of it mattered he would have had her.
"Maybe?" She flirted bending her knee to stick her foot in the downpour hitting the steps
"What happened to the gutters back here" He knew the rest of the house had them
"I took them down"
"Why?"
"Because I like to play in the rain" Janet was like he'd never seen her before. Not a care in the world as she pattered around barefoot like a child in a puddle
"Really"
"Really, you can play with me if you want to" She was sweet and flirting and using the seduction she knew oh so well
"You yes, the lightening I'm not so sure about" It really wasn't lightening much just a few flashes in the background as opposed to some jagged streaks and bolts she had stood in before but the thunder was rolling heavily.
"What are you so afraid of" She slipped her panties off kicking them with her foot.
"Being electrocuted perhaps"
"I come out here every time and I've never been electrocuted" She stood right against the wall of water at the edge of the step holding his hand at arms length.
"There's a first time for everything" He pointed out in his defense
"So why don't you let me have your first time for this" She stepped down one step pulling him a step closer as her gown instantly clung to her and Eddie could see through it completely.
"For playing in the rain?" Janet stepped back right against him on the porch when he asked and he wrapped his arms around her lower back soaking his own clothes.
"The thing you should know about playing in the rain with me is that we don't think, we don't talk and we most certainly don't worry about the rain or the thunder or the lightening because if you do that's when playing in the rain stops being fun for me and I would really hate to be the person that made me dread the rain." Janet had went to work first unbuckling his belt pulling it from the loops furiously and tossing it back towards the house the then untucked his shirt and unbuttoned it as she spoke
"I'm a playing in the rain virgin, I might not be so good at it, baby. You may need to teach me a few things."
"You'll be fine, but I'm not going to take it easy on you just because you've never done it" She stepped down each step slowly pulling him down into the rain a step behind.
"So what first" Eddie asked
"Shhhh! we don't talk remember" She ripped the rest of the buttons open
"In that case" Eddie whispered picking her up and she wrapped her legs around him without protest as he kissed her both unaware of the Thunderstorm that was pounding down ontop of them.
He headed straight for the first thing he could find to sit her down on long enough to get his pants off. The patio table seemed to be a good idea. It was for the most part as Janet pushed Eddie's shirt off the back of his shoulders as he kissed her hard starting at her lips and working down her neck leaving a nice hicky on her shoulder. As soon as he was free from the cuffs of his shirt he pushed her back on the table to venture further kissing down her chest and over her belly button tasting little more than the rain but the idea was there still.
He couldn't hear her moaning for the thunder but he knew how she felt by the way her body moved and he was paying close attention to every muscle she had. He kissed right over her hip bone and down to where she ached most loving every second of it. So desperate to taste her body he didn't let up until he did as she quaked against him.
Eddie kissed his way right back up to her ribcage before she sat up. He ripped open the two small buttons that kept him from the bare skin of her breasts before pushing the now ripped neck line down her shoulder to give him gained access to the cold wet hardened nipple he could see through the clinging cotton. Janet held his head as he worked her body so perfectly with his tongue and mouth biting at her most sensitive places that induced pure erotic pleasure.
Janet couldn't help but think they looked like the cover of some lustfilled paperback Romance novel read by affection deprived lonely women. She would know, she had been one herself before Eddie and as she sat erect legs spread on the table in the back yard with the coldness of the table providing comfort where Eddie had just set her on fire, her gown hanging from her body and pushed up her hips as she released Eddie from his pants she was hotter and more determined than ever to truly fuck not just a the man in front of her but Eddie.
Eddie couldn't think straight enough to accept that his Janet was in that particular mood. He would have to redefine his theory of three moods because this was all knew to him. Of course he had women that just wanted to screw him but Janet in her infinite abilities to contain the desire she produced in him had combined the three moods into what he would forever more consider The Angel's mood.
He didn't understand how they were kissing so lovingly yet with the pure purpose of sexual satisfaction. He wanted to take her inside dry her off and lay her down slowly, tenderly. Stage a moment of pure self giving but his head pounded and he wanted to pound into her the same way as did he want to stop and just breathe for a second then give her whatever it was her body was longing for.
Janet began to slip from his mouth to his chin nearly drowning him as he lifted his head. He wanted to pull her away from his chest and kiss her mouth but he couldn't bring his self to do it as he held her face fingers intwined in her wet hair. Before he realized it Janet had backed him up just enough to slide off the table and he followed her to the chaise chair that was just a few feet away.
Eddie pulled her down into his lap ready for a little more adventure and that's exactly what he got as Janet slid to the foot of the chair after working down his body the same way he did hers. He never thought she would go as far as she had or as she was about to and at the moment all of his senses were lost when she got to his navel having never actually gotten his pants off just undone.
He again leaned his head back closing his eyes and trying his damnedest to pass the urge he had to come right then and there. Janet couldn't hear exactly what he was saying for the thunder but his manifest of pure pleasure she could understand as she slid her mouth over his erection . It might have been selfish but he wasn't stopping her until he had to stop her even if it meant they didn't have intercourse, she was so damned good at it, to good and to his surprise she stopped her self and he quickly helped her into a more comfortable position in his lap.
Immediately they began pounding into one another as Eddie hugged her to his chest in his current sitting position helping her up and down as quickly as he could. Hot sex didn't even begin to describe what they were having as they kissed each other breathless for what felt like an eternity.
"Unnnuhhhh" Eddie grunted his head buried against her body, squeezing her tighter holding her in and on his lap when she tried to get up. Janet giggled lightly then grinned so proud that she had conquered not just Eddie Latekka but her Eddie Latekka, the one that gets in the way of himself sometimes as he rocked her back and forth a little and licking her neck knowing it would make her squirm. Janet knew he wanted to keep going but they both knew he would need some recovery time and to be honest the work out her body just got was going to need it's own time to overcome the soreness she knew she was going to have. He still didn't want to give up feeling her body, not just yet anyway.
When they made it up the steps and on to the porch Eddie dropped his wet clothes beside the door as he had proudly striped and walked his naked ass across the lawn and up the steps of the back porch without a care in the world as the rain eased to a slow trickle and the thunder slowly rolled in the distance. Eddie came back out onto the porch in a dry pair of jeans he only zipped and huge fluffy towel for her. She let him pull the gown over her head as he pealed it from her body but she quickly wrapped herself in the towel.
"What are you laughing at" Janet accused wrapping the towel around her and squeezing the water from her hair
"What the hell got into you."
"I don't recall hearing you complain while we were doing it"
"And you're never going to" Eddie kissed her shoulder and they got comfortable on the over sized padded porch swing they had broken in a few weeks before.
"You're freezing" That was all the excuse Eddie needed to unwrap her pulling her naked body against him and pulling the throw Janet had left on the swing where she had been earlier in the day thinking about Eddie and waiting to see what the rain brought about.
"That's because it's April in Mass and we just stood in the rain at night" she picked back at him
"I don't remember a whole lot of standing going on" Eddie couldn't help but kiss her neck since she was sitting between his legs anyway.
"You want me to run you a nice hot bath?" He thought he might get lucky again before they actually fell asleep. Not to forget she was eager to wash the sex off of her. He just knew tonight would be no exception especially since she really had sex in her.
"In a little bit"
"Since when don't you run to the shower after we have sex? Did I hurt you?"
"I just don't see the point, a bath isn't going to change anything and once what we did is done you can't take it back or just wash it ALL away"
"Are you worried that we didn't use protection?"
"Not really, are you?"
"Surprisingly I'm not"
"Surprisingly?"
"You got two firsts from me tonight, Princess"
"I've never had a man leave part of himself when he was gone"
"You wanted them to?"
"No... It's just kinda nice to know..."
"That I'm not running?" "Look at me" She sat up to face him
"It's kinda feels good that you were willing to take that chance with me"
"You know I'll take responsibility for any chance that we did or do take" That was his idea of the baby conversation.
"do?"
"I don't know about you but I really like the way it felt but if you're not comfortable with it, we'll just chalk this time up to you being horny"
"Why do I feel like I just lost my virginity all over again?" Eddie was taken back by her bold questiion
"I don't know, but I do know how you feel" He actually blushed
"Embarrassed but..."
"but you can't wait to do it again" Eddie finished for her .
They made their way inside where Janet took him up on the offer of a hot bath they took together and just sat warming their cold bodies against one another util they crawled into bed for a well earned much needed nights sleep. Between Eddie's hesitation to move forward, Janet's prospectives, the funeral and Janet's nerves over the rain which lead to a steamy exchange of bodily fluids the bed was looking cozier and cozier by the minute.
"Have you thought about what weekend you bought the tickets for?" She asked crawling into the bed with him already neatly tucked in
"Why?" He pulled her side of the covers back
She smiled at him making him understand and loving the way he was so meticulous about the way he slept. Covers neatly tucked around him, his pillow just perfect and his arms folded across his chest, sometimes she wondered if he ever so much as batted an eyelash in his sleep.
"If we get lucky you'll be late"
"WHAT!?"
"That's totally not what I was suggesting, but you're never right on schedule"
"How would you know that" She stopped straightening her pillows to snap at him
"I've seen you nearly everday for years, it's not to hard to figure out why you've got chocolate behind the bar or why I get my beer sloshed on me, which by the way I started only drinking bottled when you're pms'ing" He unloaded. His perfectly placed hands unable to have a conversation without using them to talk
"That doesn't prove anything"
"Maybe not but when I have two day's of Mud Slides on my tab it's also kind of hard to miss when you bite mine or Sully's head off for suggesting you sit down for a while"
"I hardly think, you look like shit constitutes suggesting I sit down for a while"
"Sully said you looked like shit, I thought you looked beautiful..." she as usual had to put lotion on her hands before calling it a night.
"Word of advise don't ask a woman if she feels okay when you already know the answer is no"
"I learned my lesson and you were a very good teacher by the way. You just got straight to the point."
--
"Eddie, I'm cold"
"Is that your way of telling me to get up and freeze my ass off to adjust the heat"
"I don't know, you tell me" She stuck her feet to him
"I have a better idea where neither one of us have to get up"
"I bet you do"
"First take these clothes off that way our bodies can heat each other up, then roll over and I'll spoon with you"
"Eddie Latekka spooning!!" The thought made her laugh but Eddie quickly striped her out of her tank and panties
"What's wrong with me trying to warm you up"
"I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. You just hardly ever do it when we're about to go to sleep"
"I snuggle with you"
"Yeah, right after or right before sex or maybe a nap but you always sleep on your side and I always sleep on mine"
"Does that bother you. I thought you liked to spread out when you sleep"
"What gave you that idea?"
"Probably because you beat me up in your sleep."
"I do not"
"The first night I stayed over you nearly pushed me off in the floor trying to get comfortable"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel unwelcome"
"I didn't say that you made me feel unwelcome, I don't care if you sleep upside down. It doesn't bother me" Janet smiled and kissed him goodnight and that was the last time she ever tried to snuggle against Eddie without his clear offer. Her affection had been taken as him being in the way and she felt pathetic for all the times before she had tried to urge him to hold her during the night and as soon as he thought she was asleep he rolled back over to his side.
The next morning when Eddie got up she was taking her frustration out on their wet clothes as she twisted and manipulated the rain right out of them.
"Are you upset about last night?" Eddie was being sincere in the early morning hours as he sat on the back porch swing with his cup of coffee looking even sexier than he did the night before in those jeans and bare chested
"Which part?"
"The part where we had really hot sex and didn't ........." He said it as almost a duh moment
"No, but if you've come out here to tell me I made you feel like you had to say you wanted to"
"Time out" Eddie took his shirt out of her hands that she had nearly drained every drop of moisture from "What's got you so worked up this morning"
"I just didn't sleep much last night"
"Yeah well I'm not a morning person so what'd you say we crawl back into bed and see if we can sleep the better part of this day away" How could she say no to that. She didn't understand why he would hold his arm out for her to lay against him for a nap but not at night. It just reaffirmed her feeling of being a hold me over.
------------------------
"ahh shit baby tell me your not going to sleep in that" Eddie asked less than thrilled as he laid on the bed of their room in providence. It was the most romantic room he'd ever seen that's for sure.
"I wasn't really planning on it"
"If you're suggesting we have sex while….."
"God no Eddie, that's gross. I'm not…yet anyway"
"Thank God, you scared the crap out of me"
"I take it you don't really care for my slip then"
"That I care for, mother nature I take issue with as do I with you wearing this when I don't get to take it off of you" He ran his hands over her body
"Relax, I just came to get my pajamas and trust me you want have to think about sex anymore tonight" Janet kissed him on the cheek then headed to the bathroom.
When Janet came out Eddie was in just his boxers and tee-shirt, piled up in the bed watching t.v. Janet joined him in her comfortable tank and lounge pants and they entwined themselves in the bed in silence just watching t.v.
"This stupid thing isn't working" Eddie kept punching buttons on the remote. "There's nothing on anyway" He threw the remote towards the foot of the bed. After ten loooong minutes of silent reflection Eddie looked down at Janet and she felt him move so she looked up at him.
Eddie made a fake smile and it was apparent as he gently patted her shoulder bored and trying to figure out what to do. They hadn't had sex since their less than restrained interaction in the back yard during the storm. Mostly for fear of the to condom or not to condom coming up. They were both in basic agreement that they would be okay not using them any more, but both still so horrified of it that they'd managed to keep themselves dressed.
"So you want to call it a night"
"Might as well" Eddie reached over and turned off the lamp and they settled in.
---------------
Janet laid on her side of the bed and Eddie on his in the quite darkness that had fallen upon them. Neither could sleep and neither brave enough to do anything about it.
"So you're late?"
"For what?"
"Talk about changing rolls"
"Ohhh, yeah"
"How late?"
"A day "
"That means what exactly?"
"That I'm a day late"
"I got that, but there's not like a specific reason I might need to know about is there?"
"How would I know, I'm just late Eddie"
"Okay" Eddie twiddled his hands on his chest
"Would you like me to call mother nature and ask her what the hold up is. I will but I warn you, you asked for this."
"Be careful what you wish for, mom said I'd learn that lesson one day."
"Would you feel better if I took a pregnancy test." Her words sent bolts of horror through him
"Do you think you need to?"
"We, I didn't have sex with myself and I seriously doubt it. I'm late all the time, you know that. Remember"
"Just so we're clear, you don't think….."
"No, Eddie you didn't knock me up so stop having a panic attack over nothing. It was one damn time, Mr. I'll take responsibility, your about as romantic as Ickey"
"Are you sure there's not a chance..."
"Of course there's a chance, Eddie. WE have sex" Janet got up and went to the bathroom.
When she crawled back in bed she got comfortable again and knew instantly when Eddie rolled over wrapping his arm around her what he wanted. He remained still for a minute before speaking. "Are you upset with me?" He had to check
"No, I had to pee" Not the most romantic or mood inducing statement either but it wasn't meant to be and he'd gone without longer than he wanted to as it was.
"Are you sleepy?"
"Does it matter your clearly not"
"Would you like me to shut up then?"
"That's an idea"
"I've got a better one, if your interested?" Eddie turned on the charm
"I just bet you do" Janet couldn't help but laugh
"I do, roll over and I'll show you"
"NO" IT didn't take Eddie long to physically remind her her could do it with her back to him as well.
"Go to sleep Eddie" He was behaved for a few minutes then started aggravating Janet because he couldn't sleep.
"Hey Janet"
"What?"
"Did you unplug the coffee pot"
"Yes"
"You know Bye Bye Birdie might not be so bad as long as I'm good a sleepy when we get there anyway" One more reminder that he didn't want to sleep.
"Well if you can't sleep during it you can stay here and I'll go. The guy that helps my grands out is hot anyway he'd probably like to go."
"Maybe you should ask him, you might have a lot more in common than we do since he'd obviously be gay if he wanted to go"
"As opposed to you just guaranteeing a piece of ass" Janet continued to talk into her pillow and refusing to roll towards him.
"You're not a piece of ass, potty mouth"
"You're a fine one to talk. I'm pretty sure yelling obscenities to the valet after dinner was considered potty mouth"
"He was joy riding in my truck"
"So, you let me do worse to it"
"That's different I have sex with you, he's got nothing to offer"
"So that's why you let me drive your truck, so I'd have sex with you weeks later"
"I let you drive my truck because you wanted to."
"That's it just because I wanted to?"
"Have I ever not done what you wanted?"
"Yes"
"When?"
"The first three months we dated"
"Well, you made it difficult for me. I'll give you that much"
"To difficult apparently"
"You know what I meant and you know I always let you have your way…..with me" He couldn't help himself "Just so you know your welcome to do so now"
"Shut up" She laughed snatching his pillow and throwing it on the floor
Eddie got up to get it tossing it back on the bed then to get Janet's requested water.
"Where's my pillow?" She'd sent him after the water just so she could throw it again.
"I don't know maybe you missed the bed when you threw it back"
"Maybe so" He knew better. He got back in bed only to lean back and it was gone again. He snatched hers and comfortably rested his head finally only to feel Janet driving him nuts tickling his face and pretending like she wasn't.
Eddie smiled through it and finally rolled her over pinning her down with one quick swoop. They laughed briefly until they both realized Eddie was hard and on top of her. He was surprised that she leaned up and kissed him passionately but he quickly returned the favor.
Eddie kept Janet's arms pinned down and kissed his way from her mouth to her breasts and then back up again. She got loose from his grip and quickly dispensed of her own panties as he did his boxers. He had been with Janet long enough to learn a little force would put her into one hell of a sensual mood. Janet liked it raw, spontaneous and completely overt.
Eddie had showed her possibilities to releasing her own sexual manifest and he'd learned a few things from her as well. The source of his greatest pleasure now being passionate about each impending orgasm as he'd learned to be forceful yet gentle, taking his time with such sought after relief. He hadn't realized it until that moment but he'd mastered the art of push and pull that Janet knew so well.
As Janet neared climax so did he and Eddie wasn't ready for it to be over so he withdrew. They lavished a few minutes of tender kisses and caressing before Eddie helped her sit up. Janet wasn't sure what he was doing or wanted as he urged her to turn around then eased her back down lying on her stomach. Momentarily she thought he wanted a less than flattering position she still wasn't completely comfortable with, though her ass was in the dark, she briefly entertained the idea but quickly decided against it and was just about to stop him when he laid her down.
Eddie massaged starting at her ankles kissing his way up the back of her calf and thigh, Janet's body immediately gushed when his lips graced her ass lingering as he held her breast beneath her body again teasing her nipple. He then massaged over her back before working his way up with kisses and penetrating her body from behind as she lay nearly lifeless at his silent request to do so by holding her arms above her head again. She had never had the experience of that particular position though she hoped she would again as Eddie pulled her bottom up a bit by directing her at the hip. It wasn't the most simple or easily held position as it kept them both awkwardly bent and they had to work at holding it but it paid off more than either thought possible in the end. Eddie had never gotten a woman into the position before. Doggy style sure but not what they'd managed to do just then.
He'd constantly scowered the coma sutra for new pleasurable positions that he and Janet could do knowing she was right about not being a 100 lb. acrobat and his desire to push their sex life to see just how good it could really get proved beneficial to both himself and the woman lying beneath him.
Eddie kissed her back still holding her down and inside of her. Sticky mess between them. "My god woman your going to kill me" Janet made him work in bed. Not something he'd had to do a lot of before.
"You keep saying that but it hasn't happened yet." Janet grinned so proud of herself as he let her roll over and had the nerve to pat her ass when he did
"Let's hope it doesn't because I'm pretty sure we want get to do this in heaven"
"Did you have to admit you knew we were sinning."
"I'm sorry?" It was more of a question.
"If you know your doing wrong and you keep doing it your not likely to receive forgiveness for it" Janet sat up with the sheet held close
"I'm sorry but nothing about that felt wrong." Eddie kissed her again on the shoulder as he sat up next to her "It never does" He got up to clean himself up having brought her a washcloth then ducked back in the bathroom.
-----------------------
"What's the matter?"
"I don't know I guess I feel guilty. I 've always gone to church but since we started dating I don't go very often anymore and ……"
"It bothers you that we're having sex"
"No, it bothers me that I don't feel guilty for it. I mean I know it's wrong but I also know I'm not about to stop and I guess knowing I'm going to be sitting next to my grandparents in church in the morning…I don't know Eddie I can't explain it."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"You don't have to do that"
"I know but I want to, just don't tell mom. She'll want me to start going with her more often than I do."
--------------------------------------
"Grandma, Grandpa this is Eddie, Eddie these are my grands" Janet made the introductions inside the church. Her grandpa was less than his normal staff argent self and Janet couldn't figure out why he was letting Eddie off so easily especially since they were five minutes late.
"What'd you have to give him to get him here" Janet couldn't believe her grandma was asking her that by whispering in the middle of church. It was bad enough they purposely made them sit in between the two of them.
"He offered" Janet whispered back
"He's a very nice looking man, dear"
"Thanks" Janet was mortified
------------------------
"You see the old battle axe with the hat that looks like big bird died on her head"
"Yeah" Eddie replied already seeing the lady in the choir and Janet scolding him for cracking a joke about a big yellow school bus. Janet's grandfather just nodded.
"Really?" Eddie was nearly disgusted at the thought
"When I was 16 before the old lady. They were best friends then."
"I take it they aren't now" Janet just looked at him when he laughed
"Hate each others guts but it aint got nothing to do with me. Birdie up there's got a daughter that's having an affair with the preacher which happens to be Janet's Uncle in case you didn't know" Eddie just looked up and rolled his eyes
"Where's the daughter?" Eddie whispered
"Excuse me, Kate you got an extra hymnal I could use" He'd leaned forward and tapped the woman sitting directly in front of them.
"Sure, here you go Frank" Janet and her grandmother both shot Eddie and her grandfather dirty looks.
------------------------------------
"Mr. and Mrs. Meadows how are you doing" Kate asked after church having walked up while Eddie was being introduced to the preacher. Her grandmother didn't respond.
"Janet, it's been a while"
"Not nearly long enough"
"Ummm Kate, this is Eddie Latekka, a friend of Janet's from Knight's Ridge" Janet's Uncle Stephen, her mothers adopted brother tried to break the ice
"I would say nice to meet you but I'm afraid there's two ladies here that would have my hide so hello"
"Mother how many times do I have to tell you we're not having an affair."
"I'm not the one you need to be explaining it to."
"Okay, maybe we should let the two of them deal with their own fate" Janet suggested
"That sounds like a good idea to me. Ours is already more than we can handle"
"Did you just seriously rat us out? In church, Eddie?" Janet didn't even look at him
"Cut the man a break, sweetheart. He's not a preacher"
"Well put, Mr. Meadows" Eddie was pleased finally someone in her family was on his side
"Alright I didn't want to do this here but since we've got no choice you should know I asked Kate to marry me and she said yes"
"Well, you just got one spot further away from heaven" Janet's grandfather mumbled to Eddie
"What?"
"Don't wait until it's like that" He warned Eddie as the other 4 were going at it "He just righted his wrong which puts you in line behind him"
"I think it's safe to say I'll never be leading a church sermon" They both laughed
"Get a ring, just in case"
"What?"
"You heard me, you love my grand daughter or else you wouldn't be here sitting in church with the woman; that's a hell of a chance to take the lord might strike you down for the sheer nerve of it."
"We haven't been seeing each other all that long"
"So, you knew before you ever asked her out did you not?"
"I knew I liked Janet, yeah but….."
"Butt means forget what I just said so either you knew or you didn't"
"Okay I knew"
"Your not a child anymore, stop waiting on instructions that aren't coming"
"Any chance you know my mother" Eddie laughed
"Lana?"
"How…."
"You may be fooling Richard but you aren't fooling me, I did a little investigating."
"And what'd you find out?"
"You're 29, you've familiar with the ladies, you've got a degree from Dufrane that no one knows about, you own a five bedroom house in which you take care of one of your friends, a fondness for the great literary works of the over indulgent, you didn't even try to save your landscaping business because you thought you owed your buddy to try a ten year old dream because you know he'll never make it on his own and you're very much in love with my granddaughter"
"Is that all?" Eddie was impressed
"No but you already no it so how about some advise."
"I'm game"
"She's going to be one evermore handfull so eat your Wheaties son you're going to need them" He patted Eddie on the back and walked away
--------------------------------
"Well grandma has calmed down and the four of them are going to lunch so we've got the afternoon to our self. The show doesn't start till seven"
"Well why don't you let me take you to lunch and then you can show me around where you grew up"
"Okay" She was surprised he wasn't jumping on her invitation to a more private afternoon but she went with it.
---------------------------
"So your grandfather is quite a character."
"Did he say anything out of line?"
"Not really, I like him and your just like him"
"Grandma wanted to know what I gave you to get you to come to church with me?"
"What did you tell her."
"That you offered but after you ratted us out I'm pretty sure she doesn't believe it" Janet threw a piece of the crust from her sandwich at the ocean since they ended up in a place she liked to go when she was young.
"Well gramps doesn't care." Eddie replied stretched out on the blanket they were picnicking on
"He said that?"
"Basically"
"I think they've just given up hope on me because I'm an old maid"
"That's not true"
"The giving up hope or the old maid"
"Both. Your not old and your not desperate Janet."
"God don't tell me you're going to say if neither of us are married by the time we're 50 we'll marry each other" Eddie laughed at her knowing she was picking.
"Would you relax a little baby. You've been going non stop for weeks. Just enjoy yourself while you're here"
"I'm enjoying you while I'm here" Janet kissed him
"Well you just enjoy all you want to"
"Not here" She broke their heated kiss
---------------------------------------
"So what about here?" Eddie asked once they got back to the hotel room
"Here is good."
"Here is very good" Eddie replied.
-----------------------
"Ummmm I don't want to get up"
"Me either, but we have to"
"Why do we have to? Why can't we do exactly what we want to do every day. Who cares who wants what or who's waiting or what someone else thinks if this is what we want to do."
"Is this what you really want?" He needed to know
"This is exactly what I want."
"Me to" Eddie whispered kissing her forehead
"Unfortunately, we're not the only ones in existence" Janet got up to dress leaving him a bit deflated having thought for a moment she was ready to trust.
