Chapter 39: Chapter 39

Just as Nick and Kate have planned for this weekend's getaway, everything went through accordingly. The two couples shared a good dinner at a local cuisine restaurant. They were all like pair of young lovers as Kelly and Ismael would still feel hesitant and shy about a few things that concerned personal likes and dislikes. They basically do not know anything about each other other than their names and a few they were able to get to know through asking twenty questions about each other.

"What do you think about mom's date?" asked Nick as they got back in their car to leave the restaurant.

"He's sweet like someone I know," Kate winked at Nick. "Did you see how he pampers mom during dinner?"

Nick laughed at the excitement in Kate's eyes. He saw how Ismael would ask what would Kelly want to try among the dishes on the table and he would carefully ladle or spoon them for the lady with the use of serving spoons, of course. But what made his heart flutter was the word that Kate said about "like someone she knew".

"I sincerely hope that someone you know is someone I happen to know very well as well," Nick snorted. "But yeah, he said he is not good in relationship things but the last one he had was decades ago. He must have learned something over time," Nick nodded as he carefully drove the car behind Kelly and Ismael.

"I think mom likes him, too," Kate was grinning from ear to ear. "I must be crazy to feel this way, but I am so excited for her to get laid tonight," Kate's laughter burst out. It was so contagious that Nick could not help but join her while he kept his eyes on the road. It was already dark, although they were driving in a suburban area and not many cars drive in this way, they still have to watch out for wild animals crossing the street to hunt on the other side of the mountain.

"How I wish we would know when they do so we can enjoy ourselves to the fullest as well," Nick uttered after clearing their throats from that merry hoot of laughter.

"I guess we will know that by the morning. I have read from an article that women glow after doing the deed with their man," Kate winked at Nick again. "Then we can do the deed of our own tomorrow night to seal the weekend getaway adventure."

"Babe, can we talk about it before bed? I can't help having a boner as my mind go wild and crazy with everything you say. You are so naughty and I think the pervy-for-you side of me is enjoying to hear you say such things like "doing the deed" kind of thing," Nick was almost breathless as he ended his statement.

"Sorry, babe, I will make it up to you later, aight?" Kate did not want to provoke his virility when they are in a moving vehicle. And they cannot stop somewhere to have a moment as it would be more dangerous. Besides they did not come here alone. They have Kelly and Ismael together with them. Being this naughtiness would be out of line.

Nick was thankful that Kate is so sensitive to detect when to tease him and when to stop. He secured the steering wheel with his left hand and held Kate's left with his right hand. He gently pulled his hand with Kate's hand on it to his lips to kiss on the back of her hand without taking his sight out of the road.

"I love you..." Nick said without looking at her.

"I think I love you more," Kate replied, this time she pulled Nick's hand to kiss it.

On the other car...

"Ismael...?" Kelly called out softly.

"Hmmmm...?" the man gave her a quick glance as he hummed his response but turned his eyes quickly back to the road.

"Can I ask something ahhhmmm..." Kelly cleared her throat before she continued. "Something personal?"

"Yes, of course. Go ahead, ask anything, personal or not, I will answer with the best of my knowledge," Ismael answered eagerly. He was already holding her hand while driving. He asked of her earlier and Kelly did not deny his wishes. If she has anything for a wish, he was all ready to grant her anything he can.

"When was the last time you slept with a woman?" Kelly bit her lips. She asked because she was not confident about her skills in bed and Ismael might get disappointed with her.

The man's immediate reaction sent worries to Kelly. He fell silent and his hold of her hand loosened. But Ismael actually felt weak when she asked such a question. His sex with a woman in a relationship was years ago, but he had some hookup and casual sex now and then. Would Kelly dislike him if he told the truth or would she believe he won't engage in anything alike those arrangements once Kelly accepts him as her man?

Kelly felt she needed to explain herself, so she did.

"I asked because I am not sure I can satisfy you in bed, in case we do, you know...?" Kelly looked out the window to hide her face from Ismael. "My memory does not seem to have anything left for me to recall how I do in bed with a man. Nick said I wasn't able to consummate my marriage with his dad because his illness worsened after we got married. And I don't have any memory of being with any man before Elijah, not even Kate's dad."

Kelly's voice was so soft and timid but Ismael can feel the candid candor in her words. And he was sure to say that Kelly was feeling conscious if she would be able to satisfy him in bed or not. Ismael could not help grabbing her hand tightly in his grip again. He picked his phone from its holder in his car pocket and dialed Nick's number.

"Nick, what room number do we occupy in the place we are going?" Ismael asked directly as soon as the line for connected.

"Ahmm, actually it's not a room but a cottage. Yours is cottage number seven, our is number nine. Just one cottage apart," Nick answered politely. But when he heard Kate ask if anything happened to her mom, Nick also panicked. "Is everything alright?"

"Ahhh, yeah, of course. Nothing we cannot manage. I think Kelly needs to take a rest as soon as we arrive there, so I asked," Ismael smiled as he answered. Kelly was asking him with widened eyes about what he was doing. "We might see you in the morning guys, or later tonight if you're still awake when she regains her strength." Then he cut the call.

"What are you doing?" Kelly felt funny and nervous. She had an idea but she was not sure how to react. She wasn't resentful, though.

"There is only one way to find out what you are worried about, dear," Ismael winked at her with mischievousness written all over his face. He became giddier when he saw Kelly swallow and blushed furiously. He focused on driving and sped up to get into their cottage as soon as he could manage with safety. Kelly was huffing to fan her face with her exhaled breath. A sight so cute in Ismael's eyes. How he wished he can devour her right here, right now!

"I think this is the most agonizing long drive I ever had in my whole life," Ismael complained.

"The Navigation says we'll arrive in five minutes," Kelly murmured as she checked on the screen on the installed navigation system. She was nervous but she cannot deny saying she was also excited. They were still seated formally in the car with only their hands connected as they were tangled in a hold, but Kelly can feel invisible hands creeping and tickling all around her body. Seeing the eagerness in her date's reaction fuels her excitement.

"Five minutes and I will show you how you don't have to worry about anything inside that pretty little head of yours, honey," Ismael kissed her knuckles again.

There was a parking spot for the guests so they pulled over right in front of their cottage. Ismael got off of the car as soon as he turned the engine off, secured the gear was on parking and walked to Kelly's side. He opened the door and guided her to walk inside the cottage. He wanted to carry her bridal style but the path was dark. He was worried they might fall and injure Kelly in the process. He cannot do such a foolish mistake. Not when they are almost to be intimate like this.

Kelly felt her nervousness intensify and Ismael felt it. He tried to comfort her.

"Tell me when you feel uncomfortable and you want me to stop, okay?" He whispered as soon as they closed the door and pinned Kelly on its leaf to claim her lips.

She was caught by surprise but she did not push Ismael away. She welcomed his passionate kisses and kissed him back.

"God! I don't know when was the last time I did this kind of thing but I think I love it and I want more," Kelly mumbled as she catches her breath.

"I will be more than happy to provide everything you need in bed, dearie," Ismael replied huskily before claiming her lips again in a more fiery kiss.

"Oh my god!!! My mom is finally getting laid tonight! ha! ha! ha!" Kate and Nick giggled as they stealthily ran away from kelly and Ismael's cottage door. They were about to check on Kelly if she was alright as soon as they arrived but they heard the two elders hushed conversation behind the door from outside. The youngsters covered their mouths to avoid making any sound and spoil the moment but they heard everything the older couple said. They quickly got inside their own cottage as Kate was as frisky as a pup, Nick had to pull her into a warm embrace. Then he whispered.

"I hope you still remember what you said in the car about the "doing the deed" thing," Nick spoke with his lips too close to her ears, sending shivers from Kate's scalp to the soles of her feet.
