The Heart Mender

Chapter 27: Man Down

Who was she?
"I want boiled peanuts obviously!
But can you get peanut M&Ms too?
Oh and blue Gatorade, but make sure it's cold.
And Twizzlers."
All I could do was nod.
My wife was now a horny junk food addict.
As I walked into the store, she yelled out the window,
"Oh get some beef jerky too!
Thank babe! Your the best!"
Lucky for me, I remembered everything on her list.
And we were off again, back on the road.
An hour later we stopped at a rest stop, Twinkles had to pee.
It was getting dark, but there were still a good number of cars at the rest stop.
I pulled a baseball cap over my eyes as I walked Hails to the restroom, praying that I wouldn't be recognized.
"Twinkles don't even think about it, ok?
There's too many people around.
Just pee and I'll wait outside for you."
She pulled my cap over my eyes playfully.
"Obviously Justin! I'm not an animal!"
As I waited for her, I wasn't too sure about that.
But we successfully made it back to the Jeep.
It was now fully dark out.
I was about to put the key into the ignition, when Twinkles jumped into my lap and straddled me.
"Babe! What the hell are y..
She was fast, I'll give her that.
Before I could finish my sentence, she had her mouth on mine and the seat reclined.
I told her that someone would see us.
That are picture could be taken.
She did not give a fuck.
And once again got her way.
And that's how my first rest stop sexual experience went down.
We hadn't even gotten to our destination yet, and I was spent.
We were finally close, driving through the mountains of North Carolina.
We had just driven through the small town of Waynesville.
We'd be arriving at the cabin shortly, and Twinkles was sound asleep...snoring away.
I felt relieved to be honest.
She had worn herself and me out.
I was ready to snuggle next to her and get some sleep.
The cabin was situated at the bottom of a hill, and it was completely remote.
It was so dark, as I pulled onto the gravel drive.
Thank God the owners had come by earlier to turn the lights on in the cabin.
I turned the Jeep off and grabbed our bags.
I figured I would unlock the door and put our stuff down.
Then hopefully I could carry my sleeping bride to bed.
I came back outside to find Hails standing by the front porch, looking up at the stars.
"It's so beautiful Justin!
You can see so many stars.
I love it!"
She was adorable, and this is how I pictured our Honeymoon in my head.
I wrapped my arms around her,looking up at the night sky.
"Ogre, where are we?
This cabin is so cute!"

"This is Froggy Bottom. It's a private cabin in North Carolina.
I figured since we can't do Spain, I would take you to the mountains.
I remember you saying that you always wanted to go to the Biltmore.
Plus we can hike and explore Ashville.
It's only an hour or so away.
Do you like it?"
She turned around and kissed me.
"Mr.Bieber, I don't like it.
I fucking love it!
You are amazing, you know that?"
It was nice having my Twinkles back.
I led her up to the screened in porch and watched as she got excited over a set of rocking chairs.
Then into the cabin, she was clapping her hands at the fireplace.
"Justin Drew Bieber, this is perfect.
It's so cozy in here!
And look babe, they have board games!
We are definitely going to get into those!"
I laughed at how excited she was.
She ran to find the master bedroom and I walked in to find her jumping on the bed.
