I was going to spend the summer with Uncle Bob. Well he wasn’t my real uncle, just a close friend of my Dad’s back from when they were both in the Army together.
It was my parents’ 25th anniversary, and my Dad had booked a romantic Mediterranean cruise for my mom and him. Although I had turned 18 and had graduated high school, they didn’t want to leave me alone at home, perhaps worried what the state of the house would be after they got back. My Dad then had the idea of sending me to stay with my Uncle Bob for the summer. My Mom objected a little saying Bob was kind of wild, but my Dad said that he was fine, and it would be a good experience for me to have some male bonding.
So that was settled. I got on the plane and flew out to Uncle Bob’s.
After my plane touched down at the small airport, I grabbed my luggage and made my way out of the secure terminal.
“Hi, Mike,” I was greeted by a big, tall man.
It was Uncle Bob.
He was round 6’2” tall with a big stocky build. His strong chin was covered with stubble. He kind of looked like the guy on the Brawny paper towels.
“It’s so good to see you again. It’s been a long time. How are your mom and dad?”
He grabbed my bags and we walked out to his pickup truck. As we drove away from the airport, I noticed how desolate and dry the landscape was.
“Never been in the desert before, Mike?”
“No, Uncle Bob.”
“Well, it’s got a different kind of beauty.”
We soon arrived at his home. He lived alone, in a large stucco ranch style house.
I was shocked as soon as I walked inside!
On the walls of his living room were posters of various models. Some were in swimsuits, but some were topless!
He saw me staring.
“Like my decor, Mikey?” he said with a laugh.
I didn’t answer him.
“You act like you never set eyes on a naked girl before,” he continued.
I blushed.
Then he stopped.
“It’s really true. I was just kidding, but we will have to see what we can do about that before you leave,” he said with a wink.
It was true.
I had, just like any other boy, seen naked women on the Internet, but never in real life.
I grew up in a very conservative area of the country. This meant that all the women carefully maintained their modesty around me. Add to that that I was tall and gangly with a pimply face and thick glasses. Thus, I didn’t have a girlfriend who might have given me a peak.
“Mike, the biggest thing that attracts women is confidence and knowing the right words to say. Watch and learn, my boy.”
I settled in with Uncle Bob.
I thought I would be bored, but I wasn’t.
It really was a time of male bonding like my dad said.
He taught me how to repair tractors and cars.
Sometimes we would go hiking in the mountains and canyons nearby.
On Saturday nights, a group of his friends would come over.
We would stay up all night playing poker. Of course, I did not have any money on me, so Uncle Bob would front me my chips.
They even let me sip beer with them, and I sat around the table with them and listened to their raunchy stories.
This was much more fun than hanging out with my parents would have been.
I was grateful to my Dad for suggesting this.
A few days after I had arrived, the doorbell rang.
I opened it. A woman stood there holding a large casserole dish.
“Is Bob home?” the woman asked.
She was pretty, with blonde hair and a large chest. She looked like she was in her early 40’s. I guess you could describe her as a MILF.
“He’s out back,” I told her.
“Just tell him that Molly left him some supper,” she said.
This kind of event repeated itself with some regularity, though often with different women.
Although Uncle Bob lived alone, he rarely had to cook for himself.
One evening, eating the supper that another one of his female friends had brought over, I asked him about them.
“What’s with you and all the women bringing you stuff?”
“You see, Mike, those are my friends with benefits. Years ago, I used to date younger women. Although I could easily attract them, I found they were very often immature and high maintenance. The pretty ones knew they were pretty and constantly demanded a lot of attention.”
“That was when I found out about divorced women. In this area, there are a lot of women in their 40’s who just recently got divorced. Many of them married back when women were expected to just stay home and have kids. Then one day, their idyllic life was shattered when their husbands left them.”
“I realized that although many were quite beautiful, years of being taken for granted by their husbands, left them doubting. I realized by making them feel special and beautiful, they would be attracted to me like a magnet. Furthermore, they were determined to be more adventurous in their newfound life. I can get them to do almost anything. Finally, they are just looking for a good time, and not for a commitment, unlike younger women.”
“What do you think, Mike?”
“Well, Uncle Bob, eskişehir escort you really are quite the man!” I replied.
A few weeks later, I had the most exciting day of my entire life.
It started early in the morning to someone pounding on the door!
It was Sam, one of the regulars from our poker nights.
“Bob, Mike, I just got the private ranger package!”
I heard my Uncle quickly scramble out of his room.
“That’s awesome. Let’s give it a test drive!”
“Hurry up Mike and come out.”
I quickly got out of bed and came out to the living room where the two men were. The sun was just starting to rise.
Outside, there was a large SUV parked, emblazoned with the logo of the National Park Service.
I looked quizzically at Bob and Sam.
“The private ranger package is a new government program,” Sam began to explain.
“We are near one of the smaller national parks. The government figured that it is very expensive to have to maintain full time rangers. They decided it was cheaper to sign up citizen volunteers and provide them with an all terrain SUV equipped with various search and rescue equipment. The only requirement is to take a 3 hour training course. You also agree to drive around the park on a regular basis. The SUV is equipped with GPS that tracks you to make sure you are doing what you agreed to.”
“So who wants to go for a ride!”
It was a 2 hour drive to the national park. It was at an increased altitude from where we were, so the weather was cooler, and I could see some greenery unlike the desert.
I could see snow-capped mountains in the distance. As we entered the National Park, we drove around. The park had a lot of canyons and was criss-crossed by a lot of streams. There were not a lot of bridges, and you might have to go a long way to find a bridge to cross a particular stream.
“What’s that up ahead?” Uncle Bob suddenly said.
We pulled over next to a rental Toyota Corolla.
“I wonder if there are some tourists who got lost. Let’s take a look” he said.
He opened the back of the SUV and pulled out a toolbox.
“Many tourists end up accidentally locking themselves out of their cars, so they provided us with some car lock picking equipment,” Sam stated.
He carefully took a slim jim tool from the and began working with it. A few minutes later, he opened the car door.
There were a couple of fast food receipts on the floor from a couple of days ago.
“Looks like no one has been in the car for a few days,” Uncle Bob observed.
We looked through the car. In the trunk, there were some purses. Apparently, they didn’t want to have to take them along expecting it to be a short hike.
We opened the purses and looked for ID.
“Suzanne Miyamoto, age 42,” Uncle Bob read out loud.
“Claire Jones, age 18,” Sam read out loud.
I looked at the bag I was holding. The girl in the driver’s license photo seemed like the most beautiful girl in the whole world. She had beautiful golden brown skin and captivating dark eyes.
“Donna Miyamoto, age 21,” I read slowly.
Uncle Bob looked at me and smiled. I knew that he knew I was smitten.
“These don’t look like hard core outdoors types. These women could be in danger. We need to find them as soon as we can!”
We looked in the car more carefully.
“I found something!” I cried out.
In the space between the driver’s seat and the center console, I saw what looked like a map.
I carefully squeezed my hand into the space and gently pulled out the map.
“You did it, Mikey,” Uncle Bob congratulated me as he pointed to a mark on the map.
There, circled, was Lookout Bluff.
“I bet they went there, and then got lost. It’s easy to go there, as you are constantly going uphill. However, it is easy to get disoriented on the way down, and come down on the wrong side of the hill. If you make one wrong turn, you end up away from the bridge, and trapped in a canyon with a river blocking your progress,” Uncle Bob observed.
We jumped back in the SUV, and drove towards where Uncle Bob thought they would be.
After a few miles, sure enough, we saw three figures in the distance. It seemed the two on the end were supporting the one in the middle.
As we got closer, I could seem them trying to wave at us.
We pulled up on a grassy field, next to them.
“Thank God you found us!” the woman whom I knew to be Suzanne from her ID, cried out sobbing with relief.
We quickly gave them some blankets from the back of the SUV, and had everyone sit down.
They looked awful.
Their hair was wet and tangled and dirty.
Their skin had a coating of sweat and dirt.
Their clothing – which just consisted of t-shirts and exercise pants – was grass stained and torn.
I noticed Donna’s left ankle was swollen.
I went to the SUV and pulled out the supplies and gave them cans of Gatorade.
They drank gratefully.
“How did you find us?” Suzanne asked Uncle Bob.
“I’m Bob, this is Sam, and gaziantep escort this young man is Mike. We are part of the auxiliary rangers. We were out patrolling and came across your parked car. It looked like it had not been touched for a while, so we investigated and thought you might be in danger. Thankfully, we were able to find the map you left in the car with the Lookout Bluff circled, so we were able to find you quickly.”
“My name is Suzanne, and this is my daughter Donna and her friend Claire. We had decided to visit this park after seeing a lot of photos from Lookout Bluff. We thought it would be a quick trip, and just took our cellphones with us. We made it there ok, and took a lot of photos. However, there was no cell phone signal, and our phone navigation didn’t work. We ended up getting lost and our phones ran out of batteries.”
“We kept on wondering, until we came to a dead end with a river on one side, and a canyon wall on the other. Donna tried to climb up but lost her footing, fell and sprained her ankle. By the way, what’s the date today?”
“Today is the 24th ma’am,” Uncle Bob responded.
“Oh my God, we have been out here almost 3 days. We could have died. And it’s all my fault for leading them here.” she broke down crying again.
“Suzanne, don’t be hard on yourself. This is a mistake anyone can make. However, you did the right thing, my trying to stay close to the roads and sticking together. You are going to be all right, now,” Uncle Bob reassured her.
She looked at him with a mixture of gratefulness and admiration.
“But before we go any further, I want to do a quick exam to make sure you are all stable enough for transport out of here.”
“Mike and Sam, would you come help me get some stuff from the SUV.”
We joined Uncle Bob, leaving the women sitting on the grass.
“So boys, looks like we have done our good deed for the day,” Uncle Bob said looking at his watch.
“And it’s not even 10 AM yet. Who wants to have some innocent fun now,” he said with a gleam in his eye.
I looked quizzically at him.
“Who knows Mikey, if you play it cool and follow my lead, you just might see your first naked girl in real life. Which one would you pick?” he continued
“Donna,” I said quickly.
“Ok, we will see what we can do.”
“You guys unfold the stretcher and take it out there. I will get some medical supplies.”
We found a compactly folded stretcher, in the back. We unfolded it and extended the wheels.
It actually converted into a narrow bed, about waist high.
We carried it out to where the women were, and set it down.
Uncle Bob came right after us, wearing a stethoscope around his neck and carrying a bag of medical supplies.
“Ok ma’am,” Uncle Bob began.
“Please call me Suzanne.”
“Ok, Suzanne. Before we transport you out of here, I need to make sure you are medically stable”
“That makes sense.”
“It will just be a quick exam. Would you mind hopping up here on the exam table here,” he said gesturing to the stretcher.
“We can start with you Suzanne, since you are the fearless leader.”
I noticed Suzanne seemed to blush a little when he called her “fearless leader.”
She came and sat down on the table.
Uncle Bob took her pulse. He then gently squeezed her arms and then her legs.
“Suzanne, I need to quickly check your heart, lungs, and abdomen. Would you mind, slipping off your t-shirt for a second,” he said to her while looking deeply into her eyes.
She seemed a little nervous.
“Not at all,” she said as she took off her t-shirt revealing her bra.
“I guess it’s no worse than being on the beach,” she said.
I wasn’t sure if this was more for her own sake or to justify herself to the girls.
I couldn’t help but stare.
She had fit arms, slender stomach, and large, soft-looking breasts. The black bra, while just a normal bra, complimented them well, emphasizing her ample cleavage.
I thought I saw the outline of her nipple pushing against the fabric of her bra.
Looking at her, I could tell she was nervous. However, I saw that she was captivated by my Uncle Bob and wanted him to think highly of her, and so she was going along with what he asked her to do.
Uncle Bob carefully moved the stethoscope to her back.
“Deep breaths,” he insisted.
I watched mesmerized as her breathing pushed her magnificent chest in and out.
“Ok, now lie back for me,” he instructed.
She layed back on the stretcher.
“Breathe normally, I am going to listen to your heart.”
He gently pressed the stethoscope to the soft swell of her breasts, right above her bra.
After listening for a little while, he removed the stethoscope.
“I will now push on your tummy,” he told her.
He gently pushed all along her stomach, starting at the top and going down until he was right above the waistband of her exercise pants.
“All right, everything is good,” he said as he helped her sit up and get off the table.
“Claire, giresun escort your next,” Uncle Bob called out.
Rolling her eyes, Claire came over and sat down.
Once again there was the pulse check and the quick check of her arms and legs.
“Ok, Claire, could you take off your t-shirt?”
She again rolled her eyes. Seeing as there was precedent with Suzanne taking off her shirt, Claire also took off hers.
I stared at her. She was very pale, with freckles throughout. She was also flat-chested, and her bra was padded. She caught me staring at her and gave me a dirty look before looking away.
Uncle Bob, listened to her lungs along her back. He then had her lie down. I noticed a small belly button ring with a diamond stud.
He carefully put the stethoscope on her chest and listened and moved it around.
He then gently pushed on her stomach.
“Ok, you are all done.”
“Sam and Mike, can you help Donna to the exam table?”
We went over and helped Donna to stand up. With each us us supporting her on either side, Donna was able to limp over to the table and sit down.
Uncle Bob checked her pulse. He then carefully lifted up the hem of her left pants so he could see the swollen ankle.
“Let me know if this hurts too much,” he said as he gently pushed around the ankle.
He then carefully took out a splint from his medical bag and bandaged up the ankle.
“Ok, Donna, can you take off your t-shirt now.”
I saw a look of hesitancy come across her beautiful face.
“Do I have to?”
“It will help me listen to your heart and lungs better. It’ll be just like the beach. It’s no big deal.”
I could see her blush, as she saw me looking at her.
“Can you just find some other way, please?”
“Ok, then,” Uncle Bob said.
He slipped his stethoscope under her shirt in the back and listened.
“Please lie back for me.”
He then listened to her heart over her t-shirt.
“Now for your tummy.”
He then pushed on her stomach, over her t-shirt.
“You are all done,” he said, helping her sit up.
Sam and I helped her hobble back over to where her mother and her friend were sitting.
Sam went and got some chocolate protein bars from the SUV along with some more Gatorade drinks and gave them to the women.
They ate like they were famished!
After letting them eat for a couple of minutes, Uncle Bob went over to the group.
“Suzanne, can you come with me, there is something I want to discuss with you in private.”
He took her over to the other side of the SUV, away from the girls. Sam and I were seated on the ground next to the SUV, so we could hear what they were saying, though they could not see us.
“Suzanne, first of all I wanted to congratulate you on making it through this. It is a testimony to your leadership and decision making skills that you and the other women are in as good a shape as you are now.”
“Thank you, you are being kind”
“Please call me, Bob.”
“Thank you Bob.”
“How did you end up out here? What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?”
“Do you want the long story or the short story.”
“I would love to hear the long story.”
“Well, I met my husband in high school and fell in love with him. He was the only Japanese boy in the entire school. He always seemed so organized, so in control, so responsible. We ended up dating through high school and then college. We married right after I graduated college. Shortly after we married, Donna was born.”
“I was the classic, traditional, stay-at-home, suburban mom, dedicated to my child. My husband was focused on his work. Slowly we began to drift apart.”
“Then, when Donna went to college, it was like we were complete strangers under the same roof. My husband became more involved in business, and began traveling more and more. Sometimes, I wouldn’t see him for a month.”
“Then one day, he told me that it was over. He felt that I was a constraining influence on his life, and was boring. He had met many more exciting women during his travels!”
I could hear the tears and pain in her voice!
“So we ended up getting divorced. We split the money and custody equitably.”
“Donna was devastated by our split as she loves both of us.”
“I realized that I had spent all my life focused on everyone else except for myself, so I decided that now would be a good time to focus on myself. I started going to the gym and doing high intensity training.”
“It really shows. You look awesome, Suzanne.”
“Thank you, Bob.”
“I had heard about Lookout Bluff from some friends, and wanted to visit. I figured that going with Donna would be a lot of fun. Donna wanted to bring Claire along since she is like a sister to her.”
“Tell me more about Claire.”
“Well, her family has lived next door to us for many years. Donna used to help tutor her in math and English, and they became really close friends. Both are only children, so I think they became the sisters that neither one had.”
“They were both so excited to go on this trip with me.”
Then she paused.
I heard her crying.
“And I almost got them killed.”
“Shh, don’t cry. It’s not your fault. This can happen to anybody. I have seen this happen to a lot of tourists. But you ended up doing the right things to save them.”
