Reunion Ch. 7_(1)

Chapter 7

Friday, the last day of the reunion. Katherine, and I woke up early, and cooked breakfast together. Cooking with her was one of my favorite things to do. It was just the two of us, no TV, no work, just us talking, cooking, and sneaking kisses from each other.

We got ready, and decided to take the boat across the lake to the state park. Plenty of boaters park their boats just off of the sandbar, so there was no issues there. I let Katherine drive, while I was instructing her on what to do. She was nervous about it, so we were going slower than I would have gone. I just wanted her to feel comfortable piloting the boat, so I didn’t push her.

She looked so beautiful with the wind blowing her dark hair back, her amazing body in a bikini that hid nothing, her sunglasses on, and a smile that lit up the whole lake, and my heart.

There were several other boats anchored off of the sandbar when we got there. Katherine was too nervous to park among them. So, she had me do it. Once we were anchored, we sat on the boat, and watched some families play in the water. It was mostly kids in the water, with parents either on the sandbar, or ankle to knee deep in the water.

Katherine snuggled up to me as we watched them play.

“Have you ever wanted to have kids?” She asked.

“Isn’t that why Cindy is coming to live with us?” I joked, earning a playful slap to the chest.

“Seriously, have you ever wanted kids of your own?” She asked.

“Honestly, before I met you, I’ve never been in a position to even think about it before.” I told her. “Why, are you thinking about wanting to have kids?”

She shrugged. “Sometimes. I’m getting up there in age, and I’ve heard that it can be harder to bounce back afterwards, the older that you get. But, I think that I would, if you wanted to too.”

“I think that we should get married first.” I chuckled.

“Is that a proposal?” She asked.

“Right now, no. But, I can definitely see it happening in the future.” I told her. “I’ve been happier with you, than anybody else on the planet.”

“Me too.” She smiled.

My phone rang. It was Heather. She and her crew were looking for me. I told her that I brought the boat, and was anchored out on the far end of the sandbar. I told Katherine that they were here, and on their way.

I spotted them, and the kids, crossing the dip from actual land, out onto the sandbar, and pointed them out to Katherine. She was saying how cute the kids were. That got me thinking about her earlier questioning about kids. I got the feeling that she was starting to want kids, but didn’t know how to tell me. Maybe she was hinting.

I hopped off the back of the boat into waist deep water. Katherine handed me a bag with all of our beach stuff that I waded over to the sandbar. Then went back to help her off the boat.

I picked up our bag just as the rest of the girls showed up.

“Katherine, this is Heather, Rachael, Suzie, and that’s Kim hiding in the back.” I introduced. “Everyone, this is my girlfriend, Katherine.”

All the girls were flabbergasted. Kim hid even more after I told them who she was.

“It’s a pleasure to meet all of you. Luke has been telling me how you’ve all been taking care of him in my absence.” Katherine smiled. “And, Kim dear, there’s no reason to hide. He told me about your romp in the truck as well. It’s fine.”

“Romp in the truck? You little slut!” Heather yelled. “We all agreed to let him decide!”

“What? Like I had a chance with those monster tits that you have.” Kim defended herself. “Besides, he has a girlfriend, so none of us can keep him!”

“And, if I was Katherine, I’d kick your ass.” Heather said.

“Well, it’s not like I knew about her. None of us did.” Kim retorted. The she turned to Katherine, who was laughing at the two of them bickering like sisters. “I’m really sorry. I had no idea that he was taken.”

“It’s fine. He had my permission before he even came out here.” Katherine assured her.

“I love your accent, and you’re so beautiful. You could me a movie star.” Suzie told her.

“Thank you so much. I guess that I’ve chosen the right career path for myself.” Katherine smiled. “You ladies are all lovely yourselves. I understand now, why Luke is so smitten with all of you.”

The girls looked at her, trying to figure out what she meant, and then recognition set in on their faces. I could see it in Kim’s eyes first. Then there was a few minutes of gushing fandom, followed by them yelling at me for not telling them, followed by more gushing.

After everyone calmed down, the girls and Katherine started talking, and getting to know each other. It always amazed me at how easily Katherine could get people to relax, and open up to her.

While they girl talked, I was tasked to blow up the inflatables. I just listened in on their conversation as I used the pump to blow up 4 tubes, 2 chairs, and 3 mattresses on top of our double mattress. I took care of the kid’s floatables first so that they could hit the water.

All of the adults joined the kids in the lake. Katherine, and I laid out on the double mattress, while the rest of the girls floated around us. We all stuck close to the kids to keep an eye on them.

The girls were yapping it up, and included Katherine in on their conversations. Once the fanfare wore off, they treated her just like one of them. Katherine appreciated that. She gets tired of the attention that she gets out in public, sometimes. She just enjoyed being one of the girls.

It was about an hour later, when the class president called everyone over to the cookout area. She thanked everyone for an amazing reunion, and let everyone know what was on the menu for lunch. Then let everyone do what they wanted.

The girls used this time to get the kids to the restroom, while I secured a table for all of us. While I was waiting for all the girls to come back, I spotted Candice, Cindy, and their group coming in from the parking lot. Cindy was dealing with her siblings, keeping far away from the rest of the group. Matt had a tight leash on Candice, not letting her get outside of arm’s reach. Candice looked frightened.

They took a table far away from everybody else, closest to the wood line. A couple of the goons were carrying a big cooler, and set it in the wood line. It was probably filled with beer, if I had to guess, alcohol wasn’t allowed in state parks. I saw Cindy usher the kids to the opposite side of the table, still keeping away from the others.

The girls, and kids came back. Heather saw what I was looking at, and shook her head.

“I don’t know why she stays with that asshole.” She said. “Probably, because she wouldn’t be able to get a dime out of him in support for the kids. There’s no way that she’d be able to support them on her own.”

Katherine looked over, then looked at me questioningly. I just nodded subtlety. Katherine, and I sat with the kids while the other girls went up in line to get the kids something to eat.

“So, that’s her?” She asked.

“Yeah, but something’s been off for the last couple of days. Matt hasn’t let her out of his arm reach, at all.” I told her.

“I wonder if it has something to do with that other guy feeling her up?” She asked, nodding for me to look.

Sure enough, one of the goons was molesting her tit. Matt, and the others were just laughing, while Candice just sat there looking ill. Cindy looked pissed off, and started getting her siblings rounded up to hit the line for food.

“Wait here.
