Charles and Edie took a three
day weekend and rented a cabin up at the lake.
This time of the year there
would not be a lot of people there. This was the first time they had been alone
un-chaperoned for an extended period of time.
Edie's mother suggested that
she go with them, but Edie squelched that idea right off. She said, "How can we be alone and make our
plans unless we are alone?"
Her mother saw she was
getting nowhere with her suggestions, so that was the end of it. She just
couldn't help giving some motherly advice about proper behavior and to make
sure they have two beds and - - -
Edie finally walked out for
she had heard similar speeches ever since she was a teenager, and didn't need
to hear it again. “Anyhow,” she thought “What
is the worst thing that could happen?”
She had rejected several
propositions put to her these last couple of years by some of the young men her
mother thought well of, and she knew how to behave, and besides Charles wouldn't
try to force himself on her.
Edie thought if her mother
knew how she was looking forward to intimate times with Charles she would have
really been worried.
Early on Friday Charles and Edie
arrived at the train station and were off on their adventure.
At the town near the lake they
did some necessary shopping for the next couple of days. Charles found some horse and buggy transportation
and they were off to the lake.
The roads were not too smooth,
but it only took about fifteen minutes to arrive at the lake where the
caretaker led them to their cabin.
As the porter was leaving he
asked them how long have you two been married?
Edie looked amused at the
question, but Charles said, “Not too long, actually this is our honeymoon.”
After they were settled
Charles said to Edie, “I don't want to think about business or anything else
but just us for the next day or so.
No thoughts about work or
school or even the wedding, just us.
The lodge wasn't running full
bore, but the restaurant was serving meals to guests and day visitors, so
Charles didn't have to worry about cooking their meals.
The day went well, long
walks, sitting on the porch and relaxing on the couch. Of course there was a considerable amount of hugging
and kissing.
The day had been just what
they had hoped for, and the sun was setting and night had arrived.
Edie said she was tired and getting
sleepy so they decided to go to bed.
The cabin had two bedrooms so
there wasn't any awkward moment concerning the sleeping arrangement.

She thought, “I have just had
a prudish moment.” Then she bashfully thought, “What's good for the goose is
good for the gander,” and now it was time for Charles to blush.
After a good nights sleep
they had a good laugh about preparing for bed the night before. Charles said he didn't think about what he had
done until afterward and Edie lied and said neither did I.
After breakfast they selected
a date for the marriage, and where to have it and who to invite, and all of the
major things like where to honeymoon.
That night they didn't worry about seeing
each other getting dressed for bed for they were closer now than ever and the
anticipation of being married grew fonder each day.
