Readers, this a fictional road story set in the 1980's, before cell phones and the internet as we know it today. All sexualized characters are fictional and over 18. There is pot smoking in this story. This is part six of what will be a many part series. I hope all enjoy.
Lou woke up around 6 AM with his head a little worse for the wear from the scorpion bowl, but he was otherwise ok as he went to pee. Molly was at the door with her eyes closed when he exited. He sat down to quietly start to pack up a bit.
Molly went back under the covers and snuggled in with a cooing Sara saying. "Coffee my love, please, before I see light."
"Me too please." added a muffled Sara with her face still half in a pillow.
Lou put a couple of joints aside for the ride and then put all the rest of the pot, the bowl, and mushrooms under the hood for the long highway drive today.
Half an hour later Molly and Sara were chatting naked in bed with coffee's while Lou got all of their stuff by the door, hoping to get it all down to the car in two trips. Molly gave Sara one of the colorful cloth bags they had bought for her extra clothes. Sara gave them her private phone number and her work hours. Molly promised to call for from Worcester when they got there.
Sara was still very happy inside and out but there was still that nagging doubt of, "will they really be back for me on the fifth for New Jersey?" The last thirty-six hours had brought forth a new Sara, who had plans beyond the next paycheck and bad date. She just hoped it was not all a dream about to end.
Molly had done her best to reassure her that they would rent a car if necessary to be here for her on the fifth and that they would call her later today. Molly had gotten solid sleep, but she was not feeling her best either today. If what was happening as she suspected, Molly was just glad her period had waited until the end of last night's fun.
They were all ready to go for 7:30 AM running through a drive thru for breakfast. They had about a hundred mile to go to get Sara home. Lou figured with traffic this would take about two or more hours, then it was turn for Worcester. Lou had taken two aspirins' and had his sunglasses on while his mild hangover droned on silently. He knew it was Sara who was in real pain at their parting.
He could understand her fear with hardly really knowing them. Still, she now seemed much more of a woman than the scared girl he had met two days ago, and it was not because of the last two nights. It was how she spoke and carried herself now. They could not let her down in a few days. It could shatter the new Sara!
They arrived at the single-family row house in about two hours pulling up to the quiet street and house. Sara hugged them both saying "No Long goodbyes', see you in a few days. Safe travels Andromeda, bring Lou and Molly to me safely again soon."
She raced up the tall wood staircase to the tired porch letting herself in. No one seemed to notice her arrival.
"Molly we will be here for her if I have to push Andromeda back here. We can't let her down, not after all we have shared with her!"
"I know." said Molly tearfully not looking back as she tried to hold back her flow of tears and he made what he'd hoped was the right turn for the interstate. "For god's sake Lou we both have to drive, carefully." Patting Andromeda's dash.
After about a half an hour Lou pulled into a rest stop with food for a bathroom and more coffee finally admitting his hangover. Molly came out of the bathroom telling him they needed to hit then next exit with a grocery store or pharmacy. She had three tampons left on her and more would be needed, soon!
Three exits later they pulled off for a stop at the store and some lunch. Molly took over driving for the next three hours after they ate. It felt good to clear her mind a bit and the driving on the highway was relaxing with the mellow company.
Lou began to go through some of the dozens of rest stop brochures Molly began collecting on their first day of riding together. "I got almost one of each one they had at the three rest stops we've hit so far and some from the hotel. We can go through them and see if there are any places we would like to see when we aren't in a rush."
"I love the idea Molly, as he started to sort through them quickly. I see two caves that might be fun to see and there is a place to collect crystals in West Virginia that I've not heard of before."
"I like the fossil hunting idea too Lou. I've been to see all the exhibitions in New York when I was a kid and a few later."
"When we are in or near D. C., I will take you to the Smithsonian museums and you can show me around the New York ones. I would also love to see the big Public Library and go to the Statue of Liberty if it's open." At the end of three hours Lou took over after just gassing the car up, for what they hoped was the home stretch to Worcester, with a guess of arriving there around 4 PM, hopefully before evening traffic got bad.
Finding their way to a decent parking spot in Worcester took a bit, but they were able to get a spot but knew there was no chance to set up and sell today. The meatballs would get another long day under ice, all thankful it was still cool out and they were pre-cooked kind.
Before they found anyone, they knew Molly spotted a pay phone in a Burger King and she fed it quarters calling April and Sara leaving a message of love to April who was at work. Sara was just about to leave for her job and was happy to hear her voice. There was no sign of her sister and her mother had not woken up until she had been there for two hours, saying nothing about where she had been or her new shirt when giving her "rent" for her cigs and gin. Molly told her they would call her from the hotel tonight, and Sara was off to work with a wide smile for the next three days. Lou handed her a milkshake as she got off the phone.
There had been no time to set up at the camp, and Molly looked like she would like a warm bed tonight. They were going to get a room for Star and Joe's anniversary for them anyways and now they could drive them there for a quiet private night. After about fifteen minutes of walking around the lot they found Star and her Family. Joe was off doing business somewhere.
