2 part Bear

. . . We’ll take my truck. His place is really out-of-the-way.

This is out-of-the-way

This really isnt, JoeMeme. But Bobby’s place is.

Bobbys place was

they definitely needed Jermans 4wheel drive

they sat on the truck bench in line

Joe kept sneaking peeks at Cindis breasts hed have to recall this for some other time when he got his hands on a 4wheeler she could drive

Stop she eventually said slyly out of the side of her mouth

he wasnt as sneaky as he thought

he patted her thigh

Jerman talked about his family and Bobbys how they went back generations how the families owned the lands they drove through

Joe bit his tongue

Cindi patted his leg said out the side of her face again Discretion is the better part of valor.

Shakespeare

Huh? said Jerman

Sorry Thinking out loud Just ran across my brain Falstaff

King Henry the Fourth?

Chaayah You know your Shakespeare

I remember that Falstaff was in Henry the Fourth. Nothing beyond that.

Still thats good Better than most

Joe loves his Shakespeare. said Cindi Shakespeare, and foreign films with subtitles.

I do Every man and woman has their vices

Griz suit a vice? asked Jerman

I dont think so And it wont be if it doesnt exist  at least for the time being

Hear ya, JoeMeme, fingers crossed. Bobby has occasions to surprise even me; why I think he’s a good bet.

I appreciate that I appreciate that this can also be a shot in the dark

Bobby’s great-uncle died, shot in the dark, by his wife when he tried to surprise her. Evidently it was out of character for him. She reacted completely in character. Never came to no trouble though. What happens in these hills stays in these hills. I always thought the families ought to sue whoever came up with that print for Vegas.

Or at least shoot him, or her.

Out here  I hear ya

Cindi looked at one and then the other

Thanks for not being judgmental.

Hear ya Likewise

You two are a pair. said Cindi

Youre quite the pair yourself babe

Would you shaddup?

You two are quite the pair, whadaya talking about back and forth under your breath?

Im deeply in love with my wife Terms of endearment

His terms are less endearing. she gave Joe a quick shot with her elbow

Joe acted like it hurtOUCH Shes always so damn physical  I love it

Well, quit your lovemaking while I’m driving; it’s distracting and I wouldn’t want us to slip sidewise and roll, not with these rocks around us. They’ve killed family in the past. Though, to be sure, they probably shouldntve been driving loaded or drugged up. The errors of youth, and being immortal, yaknow?

I do Cindi made me mortal

And you still married her?

I married him. said Cindi 

We married each other . .
. . You only proposed trying to get me to climb over a barbedwire fence.into a hayfield for illict purposes.

Well said  and yah that  And because I love you

she tried to ice him with a sidelong glance

An I wanted to make love with you in that field

Cindi says directly to Jerman  In the field across from my parents house.

Which would have been alright if you were able to keep yourself quietCindis vocal encouragement  well  the sweetest fucking things come out of her mouth

I could cum just listening to her sounds

That, possibly, might come under the heading of too much information, Joe.

Cum Jerman She drives me up walls and across ceilings Im a lucky man

And often I think, I’m not so lucky. said Cindi

Stop You know better Jermans a buddyhes seeing if he can get us a bear . .
. . Us?!

Yathink Im doing this just for myself

Oh, Christ! Jerman, turn the truck around, my husband’s delusional.

You’ll excuse me, Cindi, but evidently his delusions have kept you for . . how many years?

Yes How many years Cindi Joe asked

You’re the numbers guy, you know.

Fifteen years this September Jerman she knows shes playing her parther innocent part the child bride sold off by her parents better me than gypsy Id paid more   
The gypsy would only steal her

Jesus, Joe, you’re so full of shit . .
. . And you fill me with it he leaned past Cindis bouncing breasts Jerman She says shes never met anyone like me She tells me that every morning 
                              Im like waking up to a stranger every morning

He’s stranger every morning. said Cindi

Obviously, said Jerman strange has an upside

It do said Joe

they lollygagged in their thoughts and didnt speak

We’re here.

another ramshackle cabin squatting between brush and patches of grass and wildflowers and leaning woodframed outbuildings

a well

an outhouse

We live simply, profits are pure profit. said Jerman

Good job if you can get it

Somebody's got to do it.

They do

         Now  Do they have a Griz suit

He’s always to the point. said Cindi

Direct

Shortest distance between two points.

Thank you Jerman

You’re welcome.

Don’t let me come between you two lovebirds. Cindi rolled her eyes

Doncha love how she rolls her eyes Cindi says more with her eyes than most people say with their tongue.

She does. 

I can see you appreciate my wife

I cherish her; otherwise I wouldn’t be up here right now, I’d be twenty minutes into where I thought I was going ten minutes before you showed. I cherish your wife.

Thank you

You’re welcome. Jerman leaned on the horn BOBBY!

Christ Whos bellowing now

Bobby’s deaf in one ear, long story, my fault, you have to project when you talk with Bobby. BOBBY!

Youre gonna make me deaf in one ear. said Cindi  Lemme out before you go off again  he looked over at Cindi she sat between them with her fingers in her ears

You knew this was coming

she smiled Coming, c-o-m-i-n-g, or cumming, c-u-m-m-i-n-g? Sometimes I have a hard time following your threads.

C-o-m-i-n-g

There you go, threw me a curve, usually your cumming; c-u- . .
. . Gotcha I can spell

Joe and Cindi were out of the truck before Jerman BOBBY-ed again I told you, he’s deaf in one ear; and he’s usually armed. Long story.

BOBBY!

FUCK! YOU’D THINK I WAS DEAF.

YOU ARE!

Yeah. There’s that. Jerald?

YEAH.

Jerald

We’re formal. Our families don’t allow pet names, as Cindi would say.

Bobby

He’s Bobby on his birth certificate. His parents never cared for the name Robert.

A long story

A long story.

Shall we, gentlemen?

they both looked around at once for gentlemen smiled at each other they were pretty funny

I’ll not be redundant. Cindi said

Jerald. That’s you, right?

It is.

coming out of the door hitching up his pantsbuttoning his fly I thought you was gone.

Almost. they closed ranks However, offering a little help to my friends.

Joe Cocker. I don’t have any dope right now.

Not that help.

Usually it’s that help you need to offset any trip you've planned, you’ll excuse me all ta hell. Bobby saw Cindi Hey, Cindi! he went around Jerald and hugged her I should have looked before I opened my mouth. You’re never in the market.

releasing Bobby she said  I am not. 

But I did see him, whoever he is, behind you.

And I look like I do drugs

You don’t look to me like you’d deny me if I asked you one way or the other.

I would not But then you didnt ask did you

I did not.

So what brings you three up here, Jerald?

A bear suit.

A Griz suit interrupted Joe Dont wanna waste your time if you dont

A Grizzly bear suit? Bobby was obviously enjoying the turn of the conversation  

Yes

How’s this Grizzly bear suit look?

Like a Griz

Construct? Whas yer name?

Ah, Christ, I didn’t introduce him; Joe, he’s Joe. My apologises said Jerald as he halfturned back to Joe I terribly sorry.

Bobby, this is Joe. Joe. Bobby. Joe’s Cindi’s husband.

We heard she had one. said Bobby  he took Joes hand in his mitt squeezed his hand firmly he didnt shake And not only is he living and breathing . . but he’s looking for a Grizzly bar suit to boot.

I am Jerald thought you may Though possibly not a Grizzly bar Joe winked

Understand. said Bobby But then, who the fuck would want a bear suit other than Grizzly bar, huh? Jerald would’nt’ve brought you up here if you were looking for a Teddy or a Panda bear; wouldja, Jerald?

No.

No. Cuz he’s got them down at his place. Doncha, Jerald?

I do.

Construct. Looking for head or a headspi . .
. . Careful, Bobby, head’s a dangerous place to go with Joe here. He sounds to be a liberal thinker.

You a liberal thinker? Bobby asked sucking his teeth

Will it cost me more if I am

You a liberal thinker?

I try to be a literal thinker but that leaves too much ground unfurrowed and while I like untouched earthappreciate its natural beauty I also know that if you want things to grow ya gotta plant seeds

Bobby moved his mouth as if he was chewing on Joes answer

A headpiece leaving my face unmasked

Bobby looked asif he swallowed what he had been chewing You’re in luck, boy.

luck shot through Joes brain like a bullet 

he didnt remember much

Cindi must have taken things in hand

he was already in his head coming down out of the hills with Cindi no Bobby no Jerman she was unclaspedblouse open he was bucknaked under his bearskin
