coming in.”
Ryder raced across the sand and dove under the
water. He surfaced and after letting out a shrill scream and he grabbed me in
his arms. I was the coldest I had ever been and in his arms, I was hot.
Ryder kissed me gently, beginning on my chest and
travelling up to my ears, cheeks and eventually my mouth.
“Thank you, Jenna—I think. If this was my jolt back
into life, it worked. I have never felt as alive as I’m right now in your arms.”
We continued to kiss in the water that rose up to
our knees. We eventually moved on shore where we snuggled under the blankets
until the sun came up. We fell into a twilight sleep that was
interrupted abruptly.
“Excuse me sir. There is no trespassing on state
property between dusk and dawn except for areas designated for overnight
camping,” the man in uniform said.
“Sorry, it was my idea to take a little dip in the
lake last night and we must have dozed,” I said as I smiled bashfully.
“In addition, mam, there is no drinking alcohol on
the premises.” The park ranger pointed at the bottle of champagne.
“Sorry, are you going to give us a ticket? Cause we
were just celebrating the fact that my friend here is cancer free.”
I realized that I had no pants on and my hair was
still wet.
“I’m going to let you off with a verbal warning.
Congratulations on the cancer thing. That is a good one. I will remember that
one if I’m ever pulled over for speeding.”
The park ranger walked away and Ryder shook his
head.
“It’s always an adventure with you, Jenna.” Ryder
smiled and kissed me.
“I guess we should head home. I’ll pick up our
crap,” I said.
“I will check my messages. It sure feels good to
only have one phone.” Ryder smiled.
We began the drive home and Ryder was still hoping
for his hand job. I was willing, until Sammy called. It made me think about
Ryder’s priorities while we were driving. Sammy was always going to be number
one, as I thought he should be. Regardless of where our relationship went, I
always had to keep that in mind.
Slowly, I fell back asleep for the remainder of the
ride home.
“Jenna, wake up sleepy head. We’re home. I mean
you’re at your house and I’m at mine. That is going to get confusing. I have a
surprise for you.”
I was sleepy and I looked like a drowned rat.
“What is my surprise?” I asked
“I got a message from the Dean’s office. The
investigation into our lascivious behavior at the putt- putt course—I can’t
even say that with a straight face—is complete. He wants to meet with us this
afternoon. Are you available?”
“Sure. Shit, this is all happening so fast. What are
we going to do with without all of this drama?”
“I don’t know – breathe? Hopefully not make some
more. But anyway, the meeting is at 4 PM. We should take separate cars.”
“Sounds good. I hope my mother’s friends at the consignment shop can hook me up.”
“Ask if they have a black pleather cat suit. That
would impress the dean.”
“Right? I will follow you in my car. I’ll be out front at 2 PM.”
“Bye, Sweetie.”

“Mom, I’m home!” I called out as I entered the
house. “I’m finding out my fate today. The dean has called a meeting.”
As I reached the top of the stairs, I caught a naked
Claude running out of my mother’s bedroom. Life was heading in the right
direction for me. Ryder was cancer free and we had just spent a fun adventurous
night together. My view of a sixty-year-old man’s ass wasn’t
a welcome part of my day. I shook my head and rubbed my eyes to erase the
picture in my head.
“Oh, hi, Jenna. We didn’t expect you home so early. Claude said you went to Ryder’s house and I
just assumed you would sleep in.”
“Yeah, long story. Did you hear my news? Dean
Meadows has summoned us to his office. I was going to run down to your favorite
consignment store but I think I can put something together.”
“Are we going to take your car or my sedan?”
Ryder raced across the sand and dove under the
water. He surfaced and after letting out a shrill scream and he grabbed me in
his arms. I was the coldest I had ever been and in his arms, I was hot.
