"Barry," Diane looked up from the morning paper she was reading and studied her husband. "Why don't we take a trip on a train somewhere?"
"Sounds like fun Diane. What did you have in mind?" Barry asked sipping his morning coffee.
"Well, an overnight trip I think, with a sleeping car. Does that sound like fun?"
Barry got up and walked over behind his wife. Bending over Barry nuzzled Diane's neck and gently bit on her earlobe. "Babe, anything that involves you and me together I am up for." Diane smiled a big smile and reached up pulling Barry's lips to hers. Kissing him deeply she pulled back after a moment.
"I sure do love you Barry." Diane smiled.
"I know Diane. I know." Barry replied with a smile of his own.
The day arrived and Barry and Diane found themselves waiting in line for the train to pull up to the platform. Looking across the expanse of people moving this way and that Barry noticed an attractive Blonde woman walking, no more like striding toward the line with an annoyed looking man following her. "Oh shit" Barry thought as the man caught the blonde and spun her around roughly. "Fuck! I don't need this!" Barry's mind raced as he reached under his jacket and put his hand on the Ruger nine millimeter pistol he always carried. Snapping the thumbreak loose Barry watched the man and woman waiting to see what was going to happen next.
"Here's a piece of advice Melissa! You and your mother can kiss my ass! Don't bother to come back! I'm out of here!" With that the man stormed off leaving the blonde standing in the middle of the throng of people that had cleared away from the scene. Embarrassed, the blonde picked up her suitcase the man had caused her to drop and looked around.
Just then the train entered the station and people started milling toward the turnstiles. Barry took a deep breath and snapped the holster closed again as Diane walked over to the blonde. "Thank you so much for being concerned. My name is Melissa." The blonde extended her hand but Diane ignored it and gave her a hug.
"Hi. My name is Diane and this is my husband Barry. I am so sorry that happened to you. Is there anything we can do?"
"He's an ass. I am probably better off without him. Why don't we get onboard and I will buy you two a drink?" Melissa smiled hopefully.
"Now we're talking!" Barry piped up. Barry picked up Melissa's suitcase as the girls started up the steps into the railcar. Finding Melissa's seat, she hadn't gotten a sleeping car, Barry stowed her bag and took a minute to check out their new friend. She was shorter than Diane, probably about three inches shorter. Her hair was long and wavy with a good bit of curl to it. Her eyes were green and she was quick with a smile. She had a small waist but her chest was large for a woman of her stature. Probably at least a 36 C Barry surmised, maybe even a D. "Listen we are going to check out our car and then probably go have a cocktail. You are more than welcome to join us Melissa." Barry offered.
"Thanks. I would like that." Melissa smiled
Diane turned and started down the train with Barry behind her. Glancing back, Barry saw Melissa watching them. Was she watching Diane walk? Oh that would be just too much good luck! Barry grinned salaciously to himself.
