It was a dark and stormy night! Not really, anyway I already used that line in an earlier chapter.
It was, though, a wet, rainy Seattle like morning. It had rained one-third inch overnight. Not that much, you might say, but here in the Desert Southwest, that's a good amount. Especially when you consider we'd had seventeen inches of moisture, rain and snow, in less than four full months of that year. Still not that much, you might say. Well, consider that the average moisture for a full twelve months is usually five to eight inches. We already had two to three times our annual average in the first four months of that year.
Kelly suggested that we meet at an overlook on that particular day. Not much to see through the rain, but we weren't looking out anyway. We hadn't seen each other in over a week. I had had to go out of town but couldn't take Kelly with me.
We met at the overlook and fell into each other's arms. I loved kissing my cute little red-haired girl. I had missed her terribly. I intended to make up for that lost week in one day. We kissed and hugged and kissed some more. There may have been some groping as well. I've mentioned her perfect breasts before. Well, I wanted to play with and suck her little nipples.
Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
We kissed, hugged and groped for about half an hour. Kelly seemed to feel a bit exposed on that cliff with a busy highway only about twenty yards away.
She said, "We need to go someplace else."
I asked, "How about our place by the lake?"
Kelly nodded and smiled. So, I started my SUV and drove down the mountain. We needed to take a back way due to my mother-in-law being in town and our not wanting to be spotted. I asked Kelly if she had noticed the back of my SUV. She nodded and gave me that lustful smile that I love.
Before leaving home, I had folded down the back of the back seat. Then I spread out two heavy blankets to make a mattress of sorts. I added another blanket and a pillow for our bed. I wasn't sure if we could use them but having been a boy scout, I wanted to be prepared.
We drove to the lake in silence, holding hands as we usually did. We drove through the gate using Kelly's annual pass. The lake looked different that day. The lake water was not only higher than usual, but covered many of the picnic areas and was even up to some of the picnic tabletops. All of the recent rain had to go somewhere, and that was part of the lake's purpose.
We drove around to our usual spot. Someone had the nerve to pitch a tent, In Our Spot. Did they not know that was our spot? Not for the general public? Oh well, since it was raining, there were plenty of other places with the seclusion we desired. We found a good spot in among some creosote bushes, and I parked.
