THE MEETING OF TWO FRIENDS

By TWOSTEP (LEE) ©

Chapter 1

Joey

She was on the road again, this time driving a trailer and going to the mountains. She loved her job but sometimes she hated the loneliness of it. As she left the city and headed down the highway she ran a mental checklist through her mind, hoping she didn't forget anything. Joey had never really ventured too far out on her own before. She knew home well, Canadian highways were clearly marked and she figured she would not have a problem, but once she got into the States she was not too sure of things. It always seemed like there were too many off ramps and if she took the wrong one then she could lose hours of free time. She would just do the best she could and hope for the best. She knew she had all her cameras, for the photos, and the paper for writing and pencils, and that is the part she does not like to do, the writing.
She loved this type of work, it offered travel and usually a bit of excitement, but she had to write about the photos she took and describe the area and she was not very good at that. Lately she had considered getting a partner, someone good with words to help, but she was particular about people. She had a certain life style that did not suit a lot of people so she never really looked for anyone.
She remembered the laptop this time, so maybe that will help. The only problem is no telephone line, lol. She will have to check and see if she can use the cellular phone for it. Oh well, she needed this job right now, so she will just have to grin and bare it. She tried to remember and hoped she brought enough clothes, used to travelling light she did not realize that with the trailer you need more clothes because you didn't stop as often to do the laundry. And she wondered if she had enough movies to watch to help fill the late hours when she could not sleep but was too tired to drive anymore.
And besides they wanted her to stay at a few places along the way and observe the surroundings and how much fun the people had there. Travel phamplets for travel agents; it paid well, but can be time consuming. She liked this job, but she wished she had someone for company, she noticed that as she got older she needed people around her more often, she needed the conversation, and the companionship.

Sometimes she wished she was a bit more outgoing, then she could have asked a friend if they would like to travel with her, but being afraid of being rejected she just kept her own counsel and did many things on her own. But lately, especially on jobs like this one, the ones that took 4 to 6 weeks to do and so far off the beaten track the company would be nice, she cursed herself for being a coward. Oh well there is no time now, the job really starts tomorrow, and she was just getting a head start. Tonight she thought she would treat herself to a hotel with a nice bath, and food that she did not make herself before really driving off tomorrow. She expected to reach the next town around 8 PM and then she could eat and then get online to talk to a few very close friends.

She loved the Internet. It gave her a chance to be the sort of person she would really like to be, brave, confident, trusting and happy. Lately tho she has noticed that one of her friends had been saying a few things in conversation that suggested to Josephine that maybe she sensed what the real Joey was like. Shy, and lonely, and maybe a bit unsure of herself. Oh well it doesn't matter, Rayelle will get around to saying something, she was not one to hold it in. She had found that she really liked and admired Rayelle a lot. She is so open and carefree about everything, she knows what she wants and is willing to get it. She is very intelligent and young; she is in a hurry to do everything, to learn about life and to live it. But there are times when she needs to slow down and understand life before you grab it with both hands, but she will learn. Joey loves Rayelle's enthusiasm for life and doing things, and the way she hates limits and boundaries.
Joey thinks if there was anyone she would have liked to ask it would be Rayelle. She not only liked her writing and her way of talking and looking at things but she liked Rayelle in a romantic way as well. But being shy she was holding back, not declaring her affection for fear of being rejected. It is better to have friends, then to say something that is not appropriate and losing the friendship. Such is life, as Rayelle would say. Joey met Rayelle about 11 months ago in one of the chat rooms for lesbians. Rayelle never said she was gay, but had suggested she was bi-sexual.
Joey had known for a long time that she was gay. But she had kept it hidden for years, even to the point where she married and had two children. She was very devoted to her husband, but there was always something missing in her life and she now knew what that was. And it appeared that Ray had helped her discover this about herself, she had finally decided to get a bit of a handle on her life and be happy for once before her life was over. She decided to get a job that she liked and to start to be independent from her husband. Her two sons were grown now and very nice young men. She found she was not needed as much as she was, and she was sure her husband would let her go and that he could manage on his own.
When this job was offered to her she took it and started out doing small jobs and not really being far from home, she was getting a bit of independence, but still close to home, her security blanket, still afraid to venture out on her own. When this assignment came up she decided to take it and yet still be able to go home if things turned bad for her, but she would get an idea about whether she could do it or not. It would give her a chance to be herself, or rather what she hoped she could be. When she first met Ray online she was so taken by her.

Joey parked the trailer in the back lot of the nice hotel in Binghamton and enters the hotel and registered and then ordered some dinner, then has a nice hot shower, to work the kinks out of her tired back. That is another thing she did not like too much, was sitting and driving all day, it bothers the back muscles after awhile. Pulling on a robe and going to the little table and chair, Joey turns on the laptop and connects to the Internet. As soon as she is online she runs icq, to see if any of her friends are online, and surprised that Rayelle was there, usually she is at work and therefore not on this time of night. She sends Rayelle a message,
"Hello Ray how are you this evening, not sick I hope,"
Soon Rayelle says, "No, I got laid off tonight and decided to come home early". Rayelle, "don't know, look for another job I guess. I sure am glad school finished last week; it gives me more time to hunt for one for the summer. But I tell you I was kind of looking forward to some holidays, but not now,"
Joey, "that's too bad. I got a new photo shoot to do, driving around in a trailer for 4 to 6 weeks taking pictures and writing up descriptive phases to sell the site to would be vacationers. So I will not be around a lot, sorry."
Rayelle, "really that sounds so cool, wish I could have a job like that."
Joey, " yeah to bad you couldn't go with me and have a bit of a holiday and get paid for it too."
Rayelle, "hey how much does it pay, never mind, can I come anyway, I will be a big help, and I can drive too."
Joey, "well if you can come why not, I can use the company,"
Joey sat back in her chair, not believing what she had just done at all, that she had actually asked Rayelle to go with her, what is the matter with her. She could not be in Rayelle's company 24/7 without giving away how she felt about her. It will ruin a great friendship. Well she had done it, and Rayelle had not actually accepted yet, so maybe she would say she was only joking, and that she could not come with her.
Rayelle, "yes I would love to go with you, and I will help in anyway I can, to just get away from here for a while would be great."
Joey, "ok then I will be leaving here tomorrow around nine, want to give me directions to your place and I can head out that way and swing by and get you."
Rayelle, " what! tomorrow? I may need a bit more time then that to get ready, can you give me one more day. I have to get everything ready and do some packing etc, is that okay. I promise I can be ready by late tomorrow evening or early on the next morning."
Joey, " well yes I guess one more night will not matter, tell me how to get to you and I will leave and I bet I can be near your state by tomorrow night and then I will settle for the night and come and get you in the morning. By the way where do you live,"
Rayelle, "In Pennsylanviana, not far from the New York state line, "
Joey,"Your kidding, heck I am in Binghamton. Just north of the state line, lol."
Rayelle, "really well I can be ready by tomorrow afternoon, if I get some of this stuff done tonight. I will ask my mother to help, with the laundry and packing, and then tomorrow I will go to the bank and do some running around. Hey Joey is there anything I should bring or that I will need?"
Joey," No, not really this trailer is very well equipped and we can get food supplies along the way etc. Just bring your own personal stuff and that should be okay."
Rayelle, "well great. I had better get off here and start to get things ready. So when you get to the Texaco station off exit one just give me a call and I will shoot down and bring you here so we can load up, lets say around 3pm is that okay?"
Joey, "yes that would be great. See you tomorrow Ray, have a good night, sweet dreams. Bye."

Joey could not believe what she had just done, this is so out of character, but now she had created a heaven and hell for 4 to 6 weeks for herself. To be this close to Ray was the hell part but to have company and someone she liked as a companion was the heaven part. Oh well too late to change things now. She will just do the best she could. Signing off the net and shutting down her laptop, Joey got ready for bed, glancing at the clock she noticed it was only 11pm, and knowing herself so well she knew she would only get a few hours sleep. She did not sleep long anymore, and she knew she would still be able to function just fine the next day. But she did not want to go to bed before 1 or 2 am or she would get up before 4am. She knew she needed to relax and not worry too much about the meeting tomorrow. Oh well we will see what was what when they met.
Tossing and turning, most of the night she tried to stay focused, and get some sleep, but it didn't work. She was up at 4 am and got her stuff ready, she had another shower and then packed the trailer.
Sitting in the room for a while she worked on a list of things to purchase and get together for the trip. She worked on the list of places she wanted to visit and take pictures of. At dawn, she put the papers away and just sat back and closed her eyes, thinking about Ray, and all she knew about her. She hoped that they got along fine, like they did on the computer. Ray was different from anyone she had ever met before. She was very young, only 18, barely legal. But she was very intelligent and mature for her age. Joe hoped she would not bore her, but she thought she could hold her own.



Chapter 2
Rayelle

Ray was jumping inside her self, so happy. She sat for a few minutes, just thinking about what she had done. She had finally taken the first step. She had wanted to meet Joey for a long time, but was shy and therefore a bit standoffish. But Joey was the first woman online that had drawn all of Ray's attention. She had been talking to Joey for a long time and was happy to finally get the chance to meet her. Ray knew she was a lot younger then Joey but it did not seem to matter to her. She was nice, and she was witty, and Ray liked her.

Ray was a nice girl. She had just gotten home from abroad; she was in a transfer student program in school and was gone for over 8 months. She was a bright girl, at least the teachers said she was, and she liked to write, it was her favourite pastime. Ray considered her self to be just an ordinary girl, not seriously pretty but not bad. She has blonde hair, nice green eyes, everyone always commented on her eyes and how shockingly beautiful they were. She did not see it herself but she believed them. Well aboard she discovered a few things about herself, one was she liked men but not as much as she liked women, she would rather be with a woman then anything else, but she was not certain if she was a lesbian or bi-sexual. So, well away she got online on the computer she had access to and visited chat rooms for lesbians. There she talked to other lesbians and learned a lot about herself. There were a few women she was attracted to but she thought she was just learning about life and what these women think and feel. She liked them a lot. And there were a few she would have liked to meet and maybe be seduced by. So she could see if she was or not. At that time she had not really been with a woman before, but she had dreamt about it a lot.
Joey was one of the ladies that Ray really liked a lot. And therefore she hoped she did not disappoint her too much. Hoping for at least a friendship out of this meeting, but maybe wanting a bit more also. She knew Joey was married but not happy, and that she and her husband were not living like a married couple and Ray also knew that Joey was finding her wings so she could be independent enough to move out on her own. Ray read a lot between the lines from what Joey said to her. Ray also knew that Joey was in her 40's and that did not bother her at all.

Ray got up and started to pack and look though her stuff to get a load of washing done and then dried. She talked to her mother and father about what she was planning and they seemed concerned. But Ray told them it was just a job, she would get paid to write about the places they visited for a travel company, and it was a nice holiday for her now that she was finished school. So they gave in, and allowed her to go, anyway they both knew she was of age and could leave when she wanted.
Ray was bright they told each other, it would be okay, but still they both wanted to meet this Joey person before they left in the afternoon. Her mother got up and helped her sort through her clothing and gathering up some of the personal hygiene stuff she would need. Well watching her, her mother suddenly realized that Rayelle was a beautiful young lady and very competent, something she had not realized before. She loved her daughter but she also knew that she was a very independent person and also very outspoken about some things. Her mother also knew that Ray could look after her self, and she hoped she would be okay. Not get hurt, physical or emotionally. But she also knew that she would not be able to talk to Ray about her concerns, Ray would just turn away. Mom noticed a few things different about Ray since she came home. She was a bit more tomboyish then when she left. Her mother did not want to pry but she suspected that Ray was gay, but she would not broach the subject, she hoped that Ray would come to her, and talk about what she wanted out of life and what she wanted for herself as far as love was concerned. Lil hoped Ray would get love and respect from whomever she chose as a partner. That the person would love her the way she deserved to be love and that she would be well looked after. Lil also wanted to meet this woman that was coming to get her daughter tomorrow and take her away for 6 weeks or so. Well she was sure if the woman was anyway decent she would want to meet and reassure Ray's parents. So Lil figured she would wait and see.

She finished helping Ray, then turning wanting to discuss a few things with her husband. Ray grabs her arm and then gave her mom a hug and said, "thank you for helping with this and for not putting up a block or two to not let me go. I really do need this right now."
Lil hugged her back then left the room, before the tears started to flow. She was losing her daughter and she was not quite prepared for it.

Ray finished off the last of the laundry and packed and then looking around the room she realized she would miss this just like she did last time. But for now she needed to go and see what she really felt for this woman, this nice lady she met on the net. The one woman to challenge her, to make her understand and believe in herself. She had always admired Joey and now she was going to see if the person was the same as she had pictured and understood in her mind.
Ray was really looking forward to it. She wanted this not only for the reasons she gave her parents but because she was very drawn to Joey, she wanted to know if this lady was the one, the one she could give her love too and get it back in return. Ray decided to get to bed early and get up early and get everything done so she would be ready. As she was changing she remember all she knew about Joey. She knew she was a little shorter then herself. That she was 42 years old. Had a nice figure and was a little bit on the heavy side, but not discussingly so. She wanted to meet Joey for such a long time, and she hoped she would not disappoint her.
She looked over her body as she scanned the mirror, she did not think she was anything special but she was firm and tight. She was not heavily into diet or weight watching, but she did try to stay slim, right now tho that was a bit of a losing battle, she had noticed a few new pounds on the hips and belly on her 5'7 frame, she weighted in at 165lbs. And it did not look bad. She also knew that Joey was heavier then her. And when she met her she hoped she did not show any problems with it. As she crawled into bed she knew she would dream about Joey again, she had done that on numerous occasions before, she also knew she was very nervous about tomorrow. Oh well she had made a commitment and would follow through on it and hope for the best. As she dozed off she smiled thinking about Joey, like she always did lately.
She got up a few hours later and sat for a few minutes over orange juice and thought about the writing part of this trip, she was good with words, always had been but to describe a location would be a bit difficult maybe. She hoped that Joey would help her with that part of it until she could manage on her own. She had dreamt a bit about the two of them on the road, taking an easy time of it and really enjoying it. It would give Ray all the time she needed to see what she wanted and what she felt for Joey. She hoped that Joey would not be to shy or inexperienced to help Ray with this, it was all so new to her, this lesbian issue, but she knew she was gay. She was willing to accept that part of her but she also needed to understand it. Ray hoped that one day she would find the person that was her other part, the part that made her whole. She had always had a feeling it was Joey. Joey had always been able to connect with her, even when they talked on the phone they connected immediately. There was a bond there, at least for her self and she needed to know if it was there for Joey as well. If it was then they could and would be very happy together, she felt that in her heart. She knew when she did find the other part of her, she would know it and do everything in her power to get and keep it. Ray got up and started to put that last of her stuff in the bags, and she got dressed and headed out to the car to go to the bank. Joey said that Ray would not need anything, but she wanted to have money for spending if the need arose. She got to the bank and then hit the bookstore to get a book she had heard about. It dealt with the gay and lesbian studies, and she had wanted to learn more about the culture of homosexuality. If this trip went the way she expected, she would need to have something to do and since she liked to read this would be a perfect time to it.
She stopped by a friend's house, her best friend actually. Her friend knew about her sexuality, they had discussed it when she got home from abroad. Her friend did not mind talking about it like some of the others and Ray had told her all about Joey and how she felt about her. She just wanted someone to know what she was feeling and thinking about all this. She told Nikki all about the plans, the trip and what she would have to do and Nikki told her that was great. To go for it and if the other thing worked out too then she was happy for her.
After lunch she headed home and gathered all her stuff and put it on the front porch to wait for Joey. Anxious was an understatement. Ray was so nervous she started to play with the inseam of her jeans, a dead give away that she was uptight. She took a few deep breaths and noticed her parents at the window watching her so she hide her nervousness and just tried to relax.
She jumped when the phone rang and she ran into the house and grabbed it and was glad to hear Joey's voice, and Joey just told her to give her directions she would find the way and it would save Ray a trip both ways. Ray told her how to get to her house and said it would take about 20 minutes.They hung up and Ray went back to the porch to wait again. Nerve endings screaming.
Looking at her watch for the thousandths time she finely heard the sound of an engine cresting the hill that lead to her place. She saw a nice RV roll down the hill and up the lane. Ray turned to look at her parents and decided that it was too late to back out now. She had also inherited the family stubborn side. Haha. She watched as Joey maneuvered the trailer to one side of the drive and turn it off, and the door open. Ray stepped down off the porch and walked over to the trailer and looked at Joey for the first time. And she saw the woman she had talked to for so long standing in front of her. At first the shock surprised her, but she kept saying to herself, this is really Joey, relax and it will be okay. She smiled and extended her hand. Joey took the hand and as she reached for it, a shock wave raced throughout her body, she trembled and wondered if Ray noticed. Seeing no reaction, she sighed, relieved. Joey smiled at Ray and said, "Hi."

Chapter 3

The Meeting

Joey immediately liked Ray, and she hoped the feeling was mutual. But even if it was not she thought to herself, this is the kind of person that will be a friend always, not matter what, she would always be there for you. Joey relaxed and let go of Ray's hand. At first Ray was speechless and then she smiled and as Joey let go of her hand she felt a great disappointment. Ray liked the feel of it against her skin. And had not realized how much she did, it felt wonderful. Ray finally said hi, and stepped back a bit before she made a fool of herself. She turned to the house and invited Joey up to the porch where her parents waited. This was a very nervous situation for Joey, she hated this part, the first meeting, it did not bother her so much about Ray, and she knew Ray. But to meet Ray's parents, wow, she was so uptight and she could hardly concentrate, she thought she would be physically sick to her stomach, that happens sometimes when she is very upset and scared, or nervous. She made herself walk the few steps to the porch and she noticed she extended her hand but she could not talk. She could barely breathe, and that only made it worse. Ray's mother took her hand and said hello, then her Dad. But all Joey could do was smile and stare. Finally she managed a soft "hello", but that was it.

She noticed Ray smile a bit at this and that turned her nervousness to a bit of anger. More at herself then at Ray but still it was enough to get her to say a few words. "It is very nice to meet you both. I can imagine that you have a million questions for me about what this trip will entail. I have written up an itinerary of when and what places we will be, and how long at each stopover and what Ray would be doing. I am not certain on your driving laws, as to whether Ray can drive that nodding in the direction of the trailer or not, but I am sure we will manage just fine. Ray's parents looked at the trailer for the first time and smiled, her father asked if they could see the inside, and Joey said sure please do. The four of us went down to the trailer and Joey let us in. At the front were two captains chairs, with a nice center island for coffee cups and maps etc. this led into a living room of sorts, a sofa, that also pulled out into a bed, a chair, a TV and VCR. There was a small desk for a computer hookup. Next was a kitchen area. A table for four, a stove, sink, large fridge, and a furnace of sorts, and lots of cupboards. This is where Ray's mother headed and asked Joey if she could look and Joey nodded. As Joey watched Ray's mother she noticed that they were similar in characteristics. And she hoped that Ray would grow up to be like her, Joey liked her quiet mannerism and also her looks, Ray's mother was a nice looking woman. Joey tuned to look at Ray's father and she liked him, but she also thought boy if he knew that I was romantically inclined towards his daughter I bet he would have a bird, and that brought a small smile to Joey's face. Ray saw this smile out of the corner of her eye and was instantly enthalled. That smile was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, she was mesmerized. She just stood and stared at Joey, taking in all of the outward appearance.
And Ray discovered she liked it, the extra weight was not bad and Joey carried it well, and the difference in their ages was there too but she had a feeling it would not matter at all. The more she looked at Joey the more she liked. At one point she was staring at Joey's mouth and wondering what it would feel like to kiss it. To caress it with her tongue, and to actually put her arms around Joey and hold her. Ray suddenly felt warm and quickly turned away to get herself under control. Wow, she had never felt like this around anyone before. Next Joey showed her parents the bathroom, with shower and then the bedroom at the back that had a lot of storage space. Surprising really. As she drifted away a bit, she soon noticed that her parents and Joey were outside, and the three of them were having a good heavy discussion about the trip and what Ray would be doing and what was expected of her. The more they talked the more relaxed her parents became and Ray new that they had accepted Joey. At least as a partner on this work trip, but she was not sure how they would feel if it became more then that. Ray just stood back and watched Joey some more. It was nice to just be relaxed and observe her and the more she looked the more she got excited, about the trip and about being with Joey.
She approached the group and as she got closer she heard part of the conversation and was a bit amazed. Joey was telling her parents about her two sons, and how this was her first assignment that would take this long and be so far away. Up until 2 years ago she was a stay at home mom, but with the youngest off to college, this past year she decided to go back to taking and developing pictures. A few that she had taken while on family holidays, a friend that worked at a travel agency saw and asked her to help him out with a few vacation spots in the area. And since then she has worked a lot, for other companies and even a few in the States. She then turned quickly and looked at Ray, a soft smile on her face and Ray smiled back and looked at her watch as if to say, it was time to leave. Joey got the hint and suggested that they head out. She said good bye to Ray's parents and headed back to the trailer to give Ray a few minutes alone with them.

As she stepped into the trailer she looked and noticed how her mother looked longingly at Ray, as if she knew that Ray may never come back here to live, visit yes but not to live in her childhood home. Joey thought to her self, 'well mom, if this works out you are right, Ray will not live here anymore'. But she will live with me. Joey knew the minute she saw Ray that she was all she needed and wanted in her life. When she looked into her eyes she fell instantly. Joey knew she was totally in love with Ray. She knew she would never find another to fill her heart with love the way she knew Ray could. Joey wanted to give Ray everything within her power to give and she felt that Ray would take it and gives it all back in return. Joey would never need for anything ever again. She knew that she would also give Ray all the space she needed to find herself and what she wanted out of life, and until Ray knew what it was she would constantly look for it. Joey hoped and maybe prayed a bit that it turned out to be her, but she would not pressure Ray. If Ray came to her one day and said, Joey I am in love with you, please may I spend the rest of my life with you; Joey would be in heaven and would be happy for the rest of her life.

She started the trailer and watch Ray as she said goodbye once more then ran to hop into the trailer and the seat next to her. Joey smiled at her and then put the vehicle in drive and started off; she noticed the slight sheen of tears in Ray's eyes and pretended involvement in the moving of the trailer to give Ray time to collect her self. One thing she did know about Ray was she was very proud, and stubborn, and that if she though Joey had seen her cry she would wonder if Joey thought of her as a child and Ray did not want that. The feelings she had for Joey were not those of a child and she did not want anyone thinking she was one. They pulled out of the laneway and headed down the highway to the open road. As they were driving alone, Ray voiced a few of her concerns about writing the pamphlets. But Joey just told her not to worry, all she had to do was look around and write about what she saw and how she felt in the serenity of the place. She would have no problem at all; they would practice tonight when they stopped at the first rest area. But the real work would not happen until they got to the Colorado area. The Grand Crayon was one area they wanted a different approach to.
Ray and Joey talked a lot. What they were really doing was learning about each other, their likes and dislikes. How they pictured their life's and basically telling each other things about themselves so that they would soon be very comfortable with each other. Also they wanted the other to know the other. To see how their feelings for each other would work for one another but they did not voice this in the conversations, they were just both thinking and learning. The more Joey heard and saw the more she liked, she was really captivated by this beautiful person next to her. She decided she would let Ray learn everything about her. Then hopefully all her dreams would be forefilled but she also knew she would not start anything, Ray would have to do that. Joey hoped that if she did that she would not get hurt, the Ray would not just be toying with her. Joey had been hurt before and she did not want to be hurt again. She felt that it was better to just stay in the relationship she had then to uproot her whole life on the whim of a woman that she was in love with but who did not love her back. Joey hoped that she would grow to know and understand Ray well on this trip and that she would know what to do at the end of it.
Watching the road and stealing little looks out the corner of her eye Joey was amazed at the lovely person beside her. That she was even here was wonderful. She was so damn happy right now. There were other things running through her mind too, the sleeping arrangements, and the chore allotments, to name a few. She did not want to upset Ray the first day out but she also knew she was an organized type person and liked to have things laid out for her self so she had no problems, to face, the easier things ran the better. That was her motto. She decided that when they stopped to rest for the evening, and have some dinner she would approach the subject of what was expected by whom and also nudge the subject into the topic of sleeping arrangement. Till then she would just take it easy and settle down. She was so excited inside, and a bit hot too, she took a deep breath and removed those thoughts from her mind.
Smiling to herself she told her self to stop it and relax. She did that often, talk to her self about how she would act. She did not want to scare Ray this first night out. She glanced over to Ray and noticed her staring at her. Frowning wondering what was wrong she brushed her hand over her face and across her nose as she pushed her hair back from her forehead hoping she did not have dirt or something on her face, chin or nose. She glanced at Ray and saw the smile and knew that Ray knew what she was thinking. Damn already this girl was reading her like an open book, would have to be careful. Did not want to give Ray too much power at first. Needed to control a few things, although did not think Joey would control much in the near future anyway.
She was so lost in Ray's eyes she almost missed the turn into the first stopover. Here she pulled up and got directions to the campsite that was put aside for her. She knew she was getting the royal treatment at a few places because they were hoping she would say nice things about their places then they would get more customers coming to stay there. Joey found the spot and parked the trailer as instructed and slowly stretched and eased her tired back out of the chair. Her legs were a bit wobbly and she almost fell on top of Ray and quickly drew back as if burned when her hand came in contract with Ray's neck and shoulder. She gasped for breath and stepped back, her eyes unfocused as she trembled against the hot bolt of lighting that shot through her. She knew it would be like that with Ray. Joey just hoped she would not make a fool of her self.
She quickly straightened up and went outside to turn on the propane tanks and get things going, she needed time to compose herself. She was so shaken, god she wanted to make love to Ray so badly, and Joey had never felt like this with anyone else, ever. How could she possibly take 4 more weeks of being in Ray's company and not make a complete ass of her self. She took a few deep breaths then settled herself down. She turned to the door to light the hot water tank for showers etc. but she laughed inside her self, she knew she would need a cold shower daily, lol. As she got inside she noticed Ray had her head shoved in the fridge and humming to some music she had turned one. Looking over at Ray and her fanny sticking out like that almost did Joey in. Now what. Damn was all she could think to say. Under her breathe she mumbled to herself, damnit. Beats of sweat broke out on her forehead that had nothing to do with the temperature outside either. She quickly turned aside and bends down to turn on the tank and realized she had to hook up the water and the drain to the sewer tank. Joey was losing a losing battle here. She decided to just finish this then not think anymore, just hide her head in a book and try her damnest to ignore Ray. If she didn't she would get nothing done.
Just then Ray turned around and holding a carrot in her mouth, nibbling and sucking on it, Joey was done in. Sexually frustrated and wanting Ray this bad was killing her. She got back to work wondering what she was going to do now. Frowning at herself she knew that if Ray touched her she would rape her, that was all there was to that. She ran outside and got a few things done before that thought took over again. She knew she wouldn't rape anyone but damn the images that brought to mind almost brought Joey to her knees. She was going to stay far away from Ray for a while. Joey went in to check on what supplies she had for dinner. She found stuff for salad and chicken sandwiches; it would do for tonight anyway.
Ray kept looking after Joey, it seemed that she could not stay in one place long enough for Ray to ask her anything, like what she could do to help. Then just a minute ago Ray saw that frown on Joey face and looked in the direction that Joey was staring and knew what was on Joey's mind. She had been trying to avoid eye contract and doing her best not to touch Joey again. Ray almost grabbed her and kissed her when she fell on her when they parked. Ray tried to get busy and keep her mind on things that had nothing to do with Joey, but damn that was hard. So she raided the fridge, and finding some veggie she thought she would make a tray with a dip. Anything to keep busy. Then she had to turn and see that burning look with a frown on Joey's face. Damn would it always be like this, we could see we want each other, why hide it. Ray was of a generation that usually took what they wanted if they knew the other wanted it too. There was no game playing like there used to be with the older generation. Today people just sort of let their intentions be known and they could tell if the other person was interested or not.

Ray decided to do the veggies anyway and hopeful whatever Joey was worrying to death she would figure it out and come and get her. As if that would happen, Ray saw how shy and nervous Joey was around her parents, so she knew that she would have to make the suggestion. Maybe when they got around to discussing the sleeping arrangements for the night, grinning to her self Ray was enjoying this very much. Oh she could be very naughty when she wanted to be, and she figured she would shake up Joey's world a bit to night and she hoped she would get into her bed at the end of it.

Ray came in and started to help. Well here we go lets see we if can get along in the kitchen. They worked well together, and they had light conversation going between them. It was good, as far as Joey was concerned. They soon were sitting across from each other, and Joey felt a great desire to just reach over and kiss her. But she would not, she knew she won't. They finished eating and then Ray asked Joey if she would help her to work on the writing part of her job. Ray was on edge, all through dinner she wanted to go and sit beside Joey like they did in Brazil, and maybe she could kiss her. Ray wanted to just hold Joey all day, but she thought it would be soon, so she held herself in check. They got ready to go and look out around the grounds and see what this park had to offer. They talked about their likes and dislikes of the area and then went back to the trailer. Joey told Ray to just go ahead and write something about what she saw. Then they could go over it and work it out. Joey thought that was the best way for Ray to see what she needed to know. Joey felt Ray would do just fine, so she left her to it.
Well Ray did some writing, Joey cleaned up the kitchen area and tidied up here and there, trying not to bother Ray too much. Joey went into the bedroom and emptied out a few draws for Ray to put her stuff in and straightened the bed. Looking around the room she was suddenly hit with a beautiful picture of her and Ray waking up together in that bed. At the first rays of dawn, turning to each other and smiling and kissing good morning and then just lying there in each other's arms, enjoying the quiet time with one another. Then making love again. Joey was so overtaken by this image she did not hear or feel Ray come up behind her and watch her.
Joey was smiling and breathing heavily, if the image had this affect on her imagine what the actual act would do to her. Ray loved the picture Joey made standing there, smiling and with a whimsical look on her face. Dreaming and liking the dream. Ray hoped she was in the dream and for some reason she knew she was. Stepping in closer to Joey, Ray raised her hand and lightly brushed it over Joey's neck and whispered, "relax honey, we will not hurt each other."
Then as Joey turned to her Ray moved in and kissed her. Just like she had wanted to do all evening. At first a tender, slightly hesitant kiss, exploring and experimenting, then once acceptance by both was made, it deepened with passion. Ray and Joey both moved closer together. Entwining their arms around each other. A third party would see a beautiful, graceful dance of movement. They moved together as one. The kiss was never ending, and soon the chest heaved, rising and falling as they filled their lungs with air. Then continued on. Joey was running her hands up and down Ray's back, pressing ever so slightly, pushing Ray harder into her. She had a desperate need to feel every inch of Ray's body against her. Joey was so lost in the emotion of the kiss, the joy and exhalation, the way it set her blood on fire. The intense feeling, the tightening of her stomach as the fire of passion build in her. At this thought of passion and making love entered and penetrated her mind she wondered how Ray was going to react if Joey just stepped back and started to slowly remove her clothing. Undoing one little button at a time, then slipping off her shirt, letting to fall gracefully to the floor, then moving on until Ray's upper body was fully exposed to Joey's gaze. As the sweet soft flesh became more and more exposed, the harder it was for Joey to breathe. She wanted to run her fingertips over the skin, to enjoy and memorize every bit of it, to feel and caress, and taste and see it all, with a desire to see how it would react during the thrones of passion. More then anything at that moment in time Joey wanted to see how Ray would look as she reached organism. She wanted to be the one to bring this wonderful forfillment to Ray. To see the excitement then the completeness that she would reach just as she climaxed. Joey knew that she could and would do that for Ray, she was not sure how she knew she was the one, but she did. Standing in front of Ray like this, without saying a word to each other she knew in her heart that this was the most important moment in her life and that Ray would be absolutely, totally the one and only one for her.
That she would bring all the things Joey was missing in her life to life. Joey wanted to learn about life from Ray, why she suddenly thought that Ray could or would be able to teach her she didn't know but at the moment she knew she had found her soulmate. She had found what she had searched all her life for. She reached up and stroked Ray's cheek and brushed her fingers over her lips and moved back in to take another kiss. Joey stared into Ray's eyes and slowly whispered,"beautiful, absolutely beautiful." Then took Ray's lips again.

Ray could not believe it was this simple, all she did was touch Joey on the neck and whispered for her to relax and then Joey was in her arms. Kissing and exploring her mouth. Ray melted into the kiss, the spark that she knew would be there, was much stronger then even she had anticipated. Ray just let it happen, she did not press into it, but let the kiss take over for itself, and it was beautiful, just like she knew it would be, all her pent up frustration was released with the touching of their lips. She knew that this was going to be so right, so perfect. Oh god, thank you for the chance to have this. It was a gift, a truly wonderful gift. A miracle that all the aspects of her life were open at this time to be here and be with Joey. She knew it was right. She knew this was what she was looking for, was holding out for. She knew that being with Joey would be the greatest experience of her life.
She did have a short flicker of uneasiness, what if she in her youth did something or said something that would ruin this. That was a fear she had let jump to the surface today when she first saw Joey. She knew that if she did or said anything out of place it would just about kill this part of this relationship. She did not want to do anything stupid, but sometimes she knew she was very outspoken and her mouth got the best of her. Saying things without thinking about the consenquences of the words. She was one not to hold back but she was learning that sometimes it was better to let things develop on their own first, to get well settled and then let the unspoken words flow, when the damage was likely to be less devastating. Ray let these thoughts drift to the back of her mind and moved all her attention into the kiss and whatever happened afterwards.
As Joey pulled back and stepped away from her, Ray felt a deep penetrating lose of power, control and a deep need to have it all back, to feel Joey there clinging to her again. She almost stepped forward to grab and pull her back but she saw a look in Joey's eyes she had never seen in anyone's eyes. At first she did not understand what it was, but then it was as if Joey told her, without saying a word. It was true love, the unhidden, and all consuming kind. Ray had never seen it before but she saw it now and it heightened her feeling of power and entered her soul. She knew that at that moment she had found her soulmate. That this woman before her would never do anything purposely to hurt her, would always be there for her, and would hopefully heal any wrongs in Ray's life. She knew that Joey would love her unconditionally forever. That no matter what Ray did or said would always be seen with the eyes and understanding of love. To see and understand this emotion, this unabashed version of true, deep, all giving love, blew Ray's conscience thought out of the water, Ray had never thought she would see it in her young life. She figured it would be something that you acquire over years of living and learning, but she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that if she searched for the rest of her life she would never find this again. As she stood before Joey and offered her the same gift of unconditional love, she moved in and placed her lips gently on Joey. A kiss that she hoped would go on and on and on and never stop. Ray wanted to make love to Joey right now, with no hesitation. She stepped back and proceeded to remove Joey's top, slowly, just as she had done to her, Ray wanted to feel Joey's skin against her own. She never moved her eyes from Joey's, but just let her self be lost in hers. As she pulled the shirt over her head, she kissed Joey on the mouth, then moved down to her neck and still not satisfied she move down to a breast. There she popped the hardened, erect nipple into her mouth, and sucking gently, she pulled and twisted it, flicking over it with her tongue. Enjoying the squirming she could tell Joey was doing. Grinning to her self Ray did not let up but moved to the other nipple and continued to caress them with her tongue, teeth and lips. She began to caress her midriff, moving her hands slowly and lightly, touching her waistband. The strain Ray was putting her self under was unbelievable, she wanted to just toss Joey back onto the bed and make hot, wild passionate love to her, but she knew this first time she needed to take it slow. She also wondered how she became the dominant one here. Ray was not complaining, she liked it. She hooked her fingers into the waistband and slowly started to lower the jeans to the floor. As she slipped past her clit she brushed against it and liked the immediate reaction from Joey. Joey shivered and jerked against Ray's hand.

Moaning, Ray knelt down in front of her and removed the jeans, and then slips the panties off her body. As Ray stared at Joey's body, Joey got red from embarrassment and Ray just stood and put her hands into Joey's hair and pulled her face close for a kiss, as she moved her back against the bed, and gently laid her down. Lying beside her, Ray just let her fingers, trace and run all of Joey's body. Watching her through silted eyes, Ray tried to keep her breathing even as she enjoyed the feel of her skin. She moved closer to Joey and brushed against her side with her knee as she raised it and lay it over Joey's knee and eased it between her legs. She pushed it up a little and pressed it against her clit. Grinding it a little, she could feel the wetness coming from Joey. Ray wondered how and why she was so wet. They had not really done anything yet, but she liked it.
Ray moved her hand down and started to caress her clit. Pressing her leg in harder as she moved her body over Joey a bit. Wanted to see how Joey was reacting to being loved. And she liked what she saw, Joey was smiling and had her eyes closed a bit. Her breathing was laboured and she was gasping for air. So Ray continued and moved her lips down to a nipple and then further down, till she is over Joey's clit. She wiggled and got herself settled between Joey's legs and starts to kiss her clit, then she opens her mouth and puts her lips around it and sucks on it. As she caresses it with her tongue she slips a couple of fingers inside, were the warmth and moisture is. As she enters, Joey squeezes her muscles around Ray's fingers and holds them inside of her. She arches up against the fingers and mouth. She slides her hands in Ray's hair and holding her head still she grinds and jerks against her. Moaning uncontrollably, Joey climaxes quickly, and cries out Ray's name, she knew it would be like this, so perfect, so right. She is in heaven and she never wants to leave.
Exhausted, Joey falls back on the bed, trying to steady her breathing and opens her eyes to look at Ray, who is smiling and seems very happy with her self. Joey smiles back and reaches up and lightly touches Ray's cheek then brushes a few loose strands of hair back from her face, as she moves up directly over Joey. Smiling and then kissing Joey, Ray, is so happy, she just got her deepest wish fulfilled.
Returning the kiss and wrapping her arms around Ray, Joey turns on her side and pushes Ray over. She presses her body into Ray. Letting the softness and smoothness caress her skin. She breaks the kiss and moving her hands down over Ray's breasts she cups and then brushes her thumbs over the nipple. Joey moves over and kisses Ray's neck, soft little kisses up to the ear and then sucking on the lobe. Joey moves back down and bites Ray on the neck, and instantly feels Ray give over complete control to her. Joey slowly moves her hand downward and starts to caress Ray's clit. She presses two fingers into Ray. Ray is also very wet. And Joey slowly lowers her mouth to a nipple as she pushes two more fingers inside of Ray. Caressing and rubbing her thumb against her clit. Joey sucks and nibbles on first one nipple then another. Scraping her teeth over the harden orb, Joey moves her head downward and soon is over Ray's clit. She takes one look up into Ray's face and then puts her mouth around her clit. Flicking her tongue over the tip of the clit, as she sucks and bites it. Joey searches for the dent at the base of the clit and pushes her tongue into it and starts to grind it into Ray. When Ray starts to grind and jerk against Joey, she pushes her fingers in deeper and moves them faster in and out, playing with Ray's pussy. Moving her tongue and lips down she licks and pushes her tongue into Ray, licking and sucking up any and all juice. Grinding hard into Ray, Joey soon feels her start to climax, and then Joey moves one finger toward her anus, and starts to push against it. As Ray's muscles squeeze around Joey's fingers and hold on, Joey presses her fingers into her anus a bit and feels the muscles jerk and convulse. Soon Ray is jerking and she grabs Joey's head to hold her still, but Joey just moves up and starts to suck her clit again, hard and fast. Slurping around it with her mouth and fingers as she pushes and teases it. As Ray starts to explode, Joey quickly moves her mouth down and is soon cleaning Ray off. And then she smiles when she realized that she was scared that Ray would not like her this way, wow this is beautiful.

Joey leans her head on Ray's belly as she slowly removes her fingers from Ray. Then she looks up and starts to move upward, kissing and licking as she does. Until she is looking directly into Ray's eyes and smiles and kisses her on the lips as she lies beside her and wraps her arms around her, and pulling her close against her. Resting her head on Ray's head, and sighing contently, Joey is soon asleep. The quiet and the steady even sound of Ray's breathing, lulls Joey into total relaxation.
The quiet of the night wakes Joey a few hours later. She eases over and tries to get up, but feels a hand on her arm. "Please do not go and leave me now." Ray whispers. "I am only going to secure up the trailer for the night and I will be right back." Says Joey. Then she eases over and kisses Ray on the lips, and whispers, "I promise I will not be long," and smiles. Joey rather likes this new feeling of not being alone. She dons a pair of track pants and a sweater. She notices the night air is a bit chilled. She checks out side and secures all the awnings etc. then comes in and locks up the trailer. She grabs some orange juice and a few cookies and goes back into the bedroom. Ray is sitting up in bed with the blankets around her waist and presents such a beautiful picture to Joey that she wishes she had her cameras ready, but not tonight they aren't. She slowly walks up beside the bed and offers Ray the juice and sits beside her on the bed. Ray looks at her then smiles. She slips at the juice and takes a cookie from Joey and slowly bites it. Then she says, "Joey, take off your clothes and come back to bed please and let me sleep all night in your arms." Joey smiles and stands up and quickly removes her clothes. Climbs into bed and puts her arm around Ray and squeezes her to her side. They lay like that for a while and then finely settling down again, make love and drift off to sleep. They are so comfortable with each other by now that they sleep well. Neither dreams much, because all their dreams of late have been forefilled. They are happy. And loving it. They both seem very happy with each other. Lets hope it continues for them.
