Lynn and I were determined to make the long-distance relationship work. When Lynn returned home, she texted me that she had arrived safely and missed our closeness.
We started communicating every other day. Lynn was busy with her family, and I worked long hours at the Break Room. Our correspondence was beginning to slacken off and become less frequent. We couldn't keep the long-distance relationship at the level we both wanted.
Suddenly, things changed for both of us. Lynn's daughter required less assistance from her family, and Lynn was contemplating her next move. She was bored and lonely and longed for our togetherness. I was involved in a different set of circumstances. The one partner in the Break Room wanted the entire place for himself. He wanted no partners. To quote the movie The Godfather, he made me 'An Offer I Couldn't Refuse.'" In a short period, I doubled my investment and was free to start a new adventure.
I was about to head back to the Midwest when a former student/football player offered me a job as a property manager for his Air BnB empire in the USA. He said that I would receive a base salary, a free place to stay, insurance, profit sharing, and a company vehicle. Any tips I receive would be all mine, and I should do well.
The next stop was a month's OJT in Las Vegas, and I would be assigned there. After halfway through training, I was informed that my job would be in Lake Tahoe. My former player took care of his old coach. Another employee wanted to go to the bright lights of Las Vegas, and I would be better in Lake Tahoe.
Sporadic communication with Lynn needed a lightning bolt. It was time to get back to our mutual loneliness. Since Lynn's favorite color was yellow, I went to the florist and sent her a dozen yellow roses. I intended to brighten her day and rekindle our romance.
The roses arrived, and I received a call from Lynn. As she spoke on the phone, I detected she choked up, was crying, and was sad in her voice.
"What is wrong, Lynn?"
"Everything that we talked about has yet to work out. I feel we are doomed."
"Would you please hang in there? We just returned to the drawing board and must make a new plan. I'll contact you after I get settled in this new job. We have gone through many changes, and everything will come together."
We talked a little longer, and I told Lynn I would contact her at the end of the week. I had to get settled, start this job, and get our relationship rolling again. Things began to take shape. I texted Lynn and told her that everything would be better than ever.
After reassuring Lynn, a small box arrived in the mail a few days later. It was from Lynn. I opened the box, and she sent me a white thumb drive. The following was written in red marker, "To Jacob, from Lynn," and a little heart was drawn. I was too busy to check it out, and after dinner would be perfect. It would be the ideal dessert after a long day.
I couldn't wait to get to my Lake Tahoe digs, eat, relax, and see what was on Lynn's gift. A pizza was the evening's dinner in my apartment over the office. It was nothing special but was free and came with the job. While munching on the pizza, I slipped the thumb drive into my laptop. It loaded, and two files came up: the Introduction and Lynn. The introduction was a note written by Lynn. It explained how she felt and why she sent this gift. Lynn wrote that she had never met anyone like me who treated her like a queen. She noted that a girlfriend with excellent computer skills helped her complete the file. This is a "Thank You" to you, Jacob.
When I opened the file, my eyes almost jumped out of their sockets. The file had over a hundred photos of Lynn posing in every sensual thought a guy imagined. I was dumbfounded, amazed, and aroused. She was in lingerie, playing with adult toys, and driving me up the wall. Lynn was in leather, baby dolls, cut-out bras and panties, fishnet ensembles, garter belts, and several crotchless items. She wore stilettos, thigh-high boots, and always a provocative smile. This was every guy's dream, awe-inspiring, and it was mine.
What to do next? I could call Lynn or take a cold shower. With the phone in hand, I called Lynn. She was upset over our relationship. It was not going as we had planned. I calmed her down and told her everything would work itself out.
"Jacob, you have a way with that tongue of yours; it can excite and calm every situation. Come to think of it, your tongue should always be buried in my cunt."
"Lynn has a remarkable way with words, one of the endearing attributes that draws me to her. She vented her frustration and was starting to feel better. I reminded Lynn that we were only 250 miles apart, and our long-distance relationship was now even closer, as it would take only about five hours to travel between us." This appeased her, and she became more upbeat. We talked, and I told her I would call later.
Another problem of mine was about to be answered. The female worker at the Air BnB office was moving out of state. I got a call and was told to find a replacement. I had only one candidate on my mind: Lynn. I struck a deal with the outgoing lady. Tuesday and Wednesday of next week looked to be quiet days—no new guests, great weather, and not a busy time. I would drive to San Jose and surprise Lynn. I could pitch the idea of coming to Lake Tahoe and moving in with me. The lady shook her head "Yes," and I was ready to go to San Jose. I got eight hours of work done in two hours. The Thunderbird was gassed up and prepared to fly down the interstate. I planned to do the five-hour trip in four hours.
I had a plan to surprise Lynn. I wanted to take her to dinner and give her all the details. It would be a bonus if the two of us worked together. My phone's GPS took me straight to the address that Lynn had given me. I arrived at the address, rang the bell, and a woman in her thirties answered the door.
Before I could speak, "You are Jacob. I would know you anywhere, though I have never met you. My mom has talked constantly about you since she returned. By the way, I also saw the Thunderbird."
I asked, "Where is Lynn?"
"She is on the back deck. I'll tell her that you are here."
"No, don't do that. Let's surprise her. I want to see the look on her face."
Her daughter agreed with the plan. She went back to the deck and acted like nothing extraordinary had happened.
Lynn asked her daughter, "Who was at the door."
Lynn's daughter responded, "The Amazon guy."
Lynn sat in her chair, turned around, saw me, blinked her eyes, and went berserk. She got up, ran to me, and jumped into my arms. She was crying tears of happiness, mumbling, and making no sense.
I told Lynn's daughter that Mom wouldn't eat with the family tonight. I would be taking her wherever she wanted to go.
Lynn said, "We can't. I look terrible. My hair is a fright; I need a manicure and time to get together."
"Look, it's two; I'll pick you up at six. In the meantime, I'll check into my hotel, get cleaned up, and take a quick nap. I change into a clean golf shirt, pressed pants, black socks, and shoes. I saw a Residence Inn, and I will go there."
It seemed relatively new and friendly from the street. The hotel gave me a suite since it was a weeknight and nothing was happening. I lucked out. The shower felt great, and the nap gave me a new lease on life. At six, I went and picked up Lynn. Like always, she looked fantastic. Lynn wore a pale yellow pant suit, a sheer black blouse, and matching high heels. I looked like Johnny Cash dressed me. I was in all black, down to my underwear.
"Well, I haven't eaten, and I am hungry. A restaurant with large booths, good food, quiet, and some good wines would be perfect. I have several things that I want to share with you."
Lynn picked a place called "Luca's." It was quaint and not very crowded. The waiter brought us menus. I ordered a bottle of Chianti Classico. Lynn decided on the lasagna, and I chose the eggplant parmesan.
Next, I showed Lynn the entire Lake Tahoe employment scenario. I told her about all the benefits and my new job.
"Lynn, there is one more significant item. I would like for you to move in with me. We can be together. You can be the office manager. You'll get a salary, insurance, no rent, real estate taxes, or utilities. The company picks up everything. Your job is to talk with prospective renters, book my jobs, and be the smiling face of the company in Lake Tahoe. What do you think?"
Lynn was shocked and stared off into space. I caught her completely by surprise. She was stunned.
" I know this is a lot to digest; could you think about it? You have some time; I have to know by the twenty-third."
Our dinner arrived, and it was delicious. We made some small talk and enjoyed the meal. It was time to decide what was next on our agenda.
"Lynn, what would you like to do?"
She responded, " I want to get another bottle of wine, go to your hotel room, and fuck our brains out. Sex will help me clear my mind."
"No problem, your requests will be fulfilled."
We went to the local liquor store, and I chose a bottle of Asti Spumante. It is Italy's answer to champagne with sweetness and a fine dessert wine.
The next stop would be my hotel room for tonight's sexual activities. Lynn walked into the room, looked around, and passionately kissed me.
Lynn exclaimed, "This room is enormous! Who were you expecting?"
"A queen, and she has arrived. This is a suite. Please make yourself comfortable, and I'll pour the wine."
Lynn removed her jacket, walked to the couch, and sat down. Under her coat, she was wearing an ultra sheer, black blouse with a black cut-out bra. I wondered where she was getting all of this sexy lingerie. I didn't care because I was enjoying every moment.
