Ch. 26 Part Two

THE LAST FEW HOURS BEFORE OUR ROAD TRIP
The kiss that should start a fire in anyone’s loins
Hi Guys! We will leave for the Big Sur Coast at 6:30am, excited and can hardly wait, I’m like a kid before Christmas Morning. However, lots to tell you about today, but I’ll try hard to be brief! Ya, good luck with that Marcus!

What I’m about to tell you, you please keep mum about, no one should let this stuff out, I don’t want you to think less about us, okay? So, let me take you back a few hours ago.

This morning Larry and I went to hook up the Airstream Trailer to his King Ranch Pickup for Mancation-2 Road Trip. We changed the time for picking up the trailer so the wives could see it and “check out what we might still need!” Yeah, you read it right, we may have to eat our words for years to come, if we fail this test! Oh, I have that empty feeling in the pit of my stomach about what the wives will find and report back to us on what we forgot to take with us!

Our wives scoured the interior of the trailer for needed items to last us a week, and what was already there to use. They told us they were very impressed with how the owner updated the interior, and said it was very cute inside. Okay so far, I guess we could have done without the cute comment! Rugged and masculine would be a better assessment! But what wife would pick rugged and masculine as a choice for Décor, huh? So far, so good! Now we will bring in everything we bought and try to find places to stow the stuff too. That didn’t take long, but I think we just hid most of the non-food items. Now, the wives return to make mincemeat from us! If Larry was still a drinking man, I’d have a stiff drink with him right now! He said, they won’t find anything missing from our purchases. I told him I hoped he was right, but I’ll reserve judgment right now! (I think we will be their laughingstock!)

The pit of my stomach wasn’t wrong, it seldom is too! They giggled, to spare the painful laughter that’s to come, I think! They prepared a couple comments from perhaps dozens to choose from, and lead with: Where’s the toilet paper? Anything else made from paper, plates, towels, tissues, and of course, toilet paper! There’s one small saucepan to cook with, just a few utensils, and cups and glasses. What will you use to cook and eat with? Larry piped up with we have all the meat we need,
and snacks too. I looked over to Larry and gave him the, shut the fuck up look, we are seriously losing the battle. We need their help I’m afraid to have to say that at all!

My wife asked where were the linens to make up the Dinette Bed? Sheets, blankets, pillows? She said, either make that bed at night or you’ll both sleep in that small bed. BTW, who’ll be using the dinette bed? I told her Larry volunteered to save my back and knees. She said, don’t worry, I’ll see that he gets some linens too!

What came next was not expected but needed. The wives took charge for us, Larry was about to say something, but thankfully he looked up at me first, and again I gave him, the shut-up look. He just cleared his throat to cover the almost slip up. My wife asked me for the keys to the Crossover SUV, and they both told us they were going shopping to help us survive a week camping out together. Larry looked puzzled, what just happened, instead of ripping us a new asshole, they chose to jump in and do what they can do best! Raise their husbands!

They were in a hurry to leave too; I didn’t see them write a list of needed items though. I think the two of us just got a lesson about the differences between the sexes. Well, at least about the two of us, versus the two of them. Larry’s jaw was still dropped, I told him to close it or enjoy the flies he’ll attract! I told him to come inside the house with me, I’ll make some of my Jamaican Blue Mountain Estate Coffee for us.

Once inside I told him, as much as I want to take advantage of our being alone, I’m still tired from last night, so maybe we should save ourselves for tomorrow when we will really be alone together. Larry pulled me closer to him and gave me a kiss that should start a fire in anyone’s loins! I told him, if he really wanted to get it on with me again, I’d be happy to get on board. He said, “no you shit-head, that was my thank you for not wanting sex right now!” He told me his dick was still trying to recover from last night! I laughed and said, I wasn’t much better! So off to the kitchen we went to make a pot of coffee.

To make this posting shorter, know the wives came back from shopping with lots of shopping bags full of stuff we never thought of! Bless their little hearts! They went right to work in the trailer putting stuff away, and warned us to stay out of their way, go for a swim or something! Yup, that’s going to happen any day soon with the wives close by. I’m ready to do it, but Larry still has reservations about having my wife see him naked! You must know I’m going to work on his head this coming week about his silly modesty.

DINNER DATE TIME
I’m not going to bore you with the dinner stuff, except for a couple of interesting things that transpired in those last few hours together.

While waiting on our reserved table to become available, the four of us waited in the Cocktail Lounge. Perhaps you remembered, Larry is a recovering alcoholic, around ten years now, so he doesn’t drink anything except Club Soda with Lime. The rest of us ordered a bottle of Merlot Wine to share. The conversations were loud in the lounge, however, I wanted to say something to Larry’s wife Ellen. As Larry was chatting up with my wife, I had my chance with her. I had to move up to her ear to get over the din of the place, and I told her that I was so happy that she got Larry to drop his homophobia with me! That it was so uncomfortable “walking on eggs” around his comments! She told me, she had her fill of his public embarrassing comments, and he should get some help, if it was that bad to be around other men, especially his very best friend, you! I just said, “Thank You Ellen, he has relaxed so much around me since the weekend at the lake, to the point that we could even try this week together!” I kissed on the cheek and she returned the kiss, with, “and thank you for working with him, I never hear his nasty comments anymore! You guys are great together!” I just said, “Thanks, that means a lot!” She said, that my wife talked to her and they both agreed, that Larry and I deserved this vacation for being such great buddies, that hardly ever get any time to spend together! Then she added, “Why do you think we are helping you guys? We want the trip to be successful! Plus, you guys get out of our hair for a week, too!” She laughed hard and returned to the join the conversation with Larry and my wife.

Now you know this conversation will be retold tomorrow to Larry, perhaps embellished somewhat, on the trip to the Coast!

At dinner, the girls toasted us with great wishes for the trip we both so deserved! I thanked them for both of us, because somehow Larry couldn’t find his tongue to speak, but he did manage to clink his Club Soda glass to our wine glasses! Skoal!

There’s no question that Larry lost his homophobic comments around me, and perhaps around his wife when out in public, but I still need to work on his ability to hide his reaction to shock and surprise! I’ve got my work cut out for me! Like he said the other day, he’s got a lot to learn from me yet! Ha ha!

So, guys, I have no idea when I’ll get a posting uploaded this week. There should be spots with cell signals out on a Highway One. However, I’ll need to decide if Larry finds out about the journal or not. I’m leaning towards telling him, but I’ll know more in a few days. I don’t plan on being away from him at all this week, so that doesn’t give me a lot of time to write! However, there’s one thing you can damn well take to the fucken bank, I won’t be horny for very long, nor will he! Our dicks might hurt though! 😂

I posted Our Mancation-2 Itinerary under the Back Pages section of the Blog. It’s what I planned for us to do this week, and a simpler version was given to our wives so they wouldn’t worry about us while we are gone. Of course, all of that could be reduced to, we didn’t get our asses out of bed much during the week!

Wish us well, hope to have some interesting stuff to write about this week.
Later!
Marcus
