Chapter 4 - In the Car with Kari
Jake enjoys a nice ride back from the airport.
Sunday August 31
Near the baggage claim, Kari Johnson stood in front of the arrivals display screen with her best friend Maria Alvarez.
"Damn" Kari exclaimed "the flight has already arrived -- its way early!"
Actually, it was only 15 min before the listed arrival time, but Kari and Maria had just arrived themselves and didn't know that they still had time before the passengers made it to the baggage claim area. They rushed to a line of limo drivers holding up name signs near the bottom of the escalator that arrives came down, and Kari held up her own piece of cardboard with Jake Schwann scrawled in blue magic marker.
"Jim owes me big time for this one!" Kari scowled "Can you believe I have to stand here with a stupid sign, so I can pick up his stupid nephew who doesn't even know me? I don't even know what he looks like -- I don't ever remember him in any of Jim's family photos ... Jim just said he was a little pudgy and wore thick glasses when he moved away ten years ago."
Jim had been Kari's stepfather for the last 7 years, and despite her irritation at her present predicament, she actually liked him very much. She also understood that Jim had only asked her help on this because he had little choice: he was a fireman and had been called away earlier that afternoon on a emergency -- a wildfire was spreading rapidly out by San Bernadino, and all available firemen in Southern California had been mobilized. On top of that, her mother had flown to Phoenix to visit her own parents over the long holiday weekend, so it was left to Kari to make the trip to the airport. It was Jim who had suggested the sign -- he had been planning to use one himself to ensure recognition. Kari had first talked Maria in coming along, and then, talked her into driving since her car had a much better sound system than Kari's.
"Hey K. -- check out the guy up there on the balcony ... see him, walking next to the girl in the white top. Is he sexy or what?!"
Kari looked over and spotted the couple in question, and yes, Maria was right, the guy was definitely a hunk -- tall, dark, and very good-looking, not to mention the fact that he had a body to die for.
"Yeah, he's hot ... but I bet he's also taken -- I doubt that's his sister he's walking next to." They watched the couple closely as they made their way to and then down the escalator -- clearly, they had eyes only for each other.
"Alright, enough sightseeing. Where's Jake?" Kari said quietly as she held the sign higher.
When Jake and Jenny reached the bottom of the escalator, Jenny heard a "Hey Jenny!" and turned to see Kathy approaching. Kathy was smiling at her broadly as she came up to them, but when she noticed Jake standing close to Jenny, she stopped cold and stood there a moment with her mouth open.
"Hi Kathy! Thanks for coming!" Kathy nodded, but didn't stop looking at Jake. "Oh, let me introduce you two -- Jake, this is my friend Kathy. Kathy, this is Jake, we met on the plane." Jake reached forward to shake Kathy's hand, "nice to meet you", which roused Kathy and she shook his hand and mumbled "you too", and then turned to Jenny and raised her eyebrows in a questioning way.
"Well, I gotta go now" said Jenny, stepping close and turning to face Jake "thanks again so much for helping me." She leaned forward to give him a kiss on the cheek, but Jake had turned towards her and their lips met for a long moment. They parted for an instant, and then came back together for an intense open mouth, tongue-twirling kiss. The kiss went on and on, and Jenny's arousal soared as Jake's long tongue penetrated her eager mouth, exploring her softness there. Their bodies also came together, and Jenny pressed herself tightly against the rapidly growing firmness against her lower belly, wanting more. Finally, Kathy coughed loudly next to them, and Jake broke the kiss.
They smiled at each other, and Jake said "I'll be talking to you soon ..."
"Uh, yeah ... talk to you soon," she panted. Her face flushed and her nipples very visible through her top, Jenny turned to Kathy, said "Let's go!" and turned and walked quickly towards the door, rolling her carry-on beside her. Kathy scrambled to catch up, completely floored by what she'd just witnessed and puzzled greatly by Jenny's abrupt departure, which seemed strange and rude to her. On the car ride home, Jenny would explain that it wasn't rudeness but her fear of losing her last vestige of self-control that drove her to the sudden exit. She didn't add that she also felt extremely self-conscious that her extreme arousal was so publicly visible -- she was sure everyone would see her erect nipples and the large wet spot in the crotch of her shorts.
While Kari scanned the crowd for an overweight guy with thick glasses, Maria had moved a little closer to surreptitiously spy on the scene with the couple meeting the woman. She had been surprised when she thought she overheard the man introduced as Jake -- what an odd coincidence, she thought. She was enthralled by the hot kiss -- right there in the middle of the crowd -- and then was completely stumped when the two women left, leaving the sexy guy named Jake standing there alone.
No way, it can't be
she thought to herself.
She quickly returned to Kari and said "Hey, you won't believe it -- I heard that guy's name is Jake, and the blonde he was with took off with a friend. Maybe he's your Jake!"
"Oh come on -- you're pulling my leg right?"
"No really, I'm not. See, he's looking around now. Show him your sign!"
What the heck
, Kari thought
can't hurt,
and she walked towards the man with the sign held out. On his next scan, Jake saw her, and broke into a big smile, "Hi. I'm Jake Schwann. I was expecting my uncle Jim."
Holy shit, it IS him. And he is so HOT
!
"Hi, I'm Kari -- Jim is my step-dad. He had an emergency wildfire call, so he asked me to come pick you up."
"Hi Kari -- nice to meet you!" Jake said, stepping forward to shake her hand. He took her in with one quick glance: she was short -about 5'2" - and was wearing a bright pink short-sleeve top with a plunging V neckline and a very short jean skirt. Although she had a somewhat heavier frame than Jenny, she was very fit and perfectly proportioned with wide hips and large full breasts. Her straight honey blonde hair just brushed her shoulders and framed her lovely round pixie-ish face -- warm brown eyes, a petite nose, and a small mouth with full lips.
