Healing Cousin George

Family Bonding – Part 1

   

The thing about George is when you put an idea in his head then he just goes off and does it. By the following weekend two new farmhands were in place. One older guy just retired who was keen to keep active and although maybe a bit too old for the heavier work he was keen and took on the role of covering most of the driving, collecting supplies etc. The second guy was a late thirty's someone Pete new who was an experienced farm hand who had just moved back to the area. So with the workforce now increased by 200% it was no surprise that by the Saturday George was already talking about the planned day out.

"Debbie and Gavin still up for Monday" he asked as we sat at dinner on the Saturday evening.

"As far as I know, I'll call her after dinner and make sure" I replied.

"I was thinking we could make a real day of it early morning start spot of lunch on the way up to the park, and then dinner somewhere on the way back"

"Hey steady on its only last week you were reluctant to take any time off now you're planning a whole adventure" I said sniggering at his enthusiasm.

"Well Gavin was right I thought a lot about it since you know" he nodded in my direction I acknowledged what he meant, he was talking about Grace. He went on "I've not spent enough time with Melissa, been too wrapped up in the farm and my problems, both of you made me see that I need to take time with her." He stopped looking down at his plate and fiddling a bit with his food.

"Well then I guess it's a date, I'll give Debbie a call."

Everything went to plan and so early Monday morning I rose to get ready for our day at the theme park. I grabbed a shower soaping myself liberally with a scented soap, the breast forms and gaf I had been wearing for weeks now just seemed like my natural body, nothing seemed strange out of place, and nothing was missed. I stepped out of the warm water and picked up a towel patting myself dry I brushed out me wet hair and pulled on a dressing gown. Padding back across the hallway I sat at the dresser and began to dry my hair.

Over the weeks I had become accustomed to taking care of my hair, and the miracles of cosmetics with help and advice from Debbie I was now proficient in both. I used some heated rollers to get some curl into my hair for the day. It had gradually lengthened over the course of the weeks since my last cut and was now quite full. Soon I had mass of curls dropping from my head. I began my make up reminding myself that I was going to a Theme Park for the day and not a night on the tiles with Debbie, so less was more if you get what I mean. Using some foundation and powder I created my canvas to paint on Alex. Two tones of pink eye-shadow blended at the right places with a white at the top right of the upper lid to brighten my eyes.

With mascara and eyeliner now complete I filled in my lips with a strong pink lipstick, enough to get noticed but not too much for daywear. I finished off with a matching pink polish for my nails and sat back for them to dry thinking about the day ahead.

Make up complete I set about getting dressed for the day after a quick glance out the window to check the weather. It was bright but not too sunny so I decided against a dress instead I pulled on the pair of leather trousers I had worn on my night out with Pete. With white underwear already in place I chose a white lacy blouse a bit transparent but grabbing if it turned colder I would need a cardigan or something so I pulled one from the wardrobe and laid it on the bed. I finished off my outfit with a wide leather belt with silver studs which hung loos at my waist slanting down to the left. Walking around a Theme Park was no place for stilettos but as I had chosen the leather trousers they were needed so grabbing a pair of three inch high heels I slipped them on. Picking up the cardigan it was time to go and join George and Melissa.

An hour later with Gavin and Debbie picked up from home all five of us were in the Land Rover and speeding along the motorway on route to the theme park. Me and Debbie in the back with Melissa keeping her occupied on our journey which was not difficult as she was excited enough about the adventure ahead. Gavin was in front acting as co-pilot as none of us had ever been there before. Gavin and George made small talk over the new farm hands how were they fitting in what did he plan to do with his free time now, how were the arrangements going for the Annual Farmers Ball.

"Ball" I asked my ears pricking up.

"Yeah it's in about two weeks, has George not told you about it" Gavin replied.

"Eh no he never mentioned it to me"

"Eh well I was going to but I forgot, wasn't sure if you would still be here by then so I never mentioned it" George said sounding a bit embarrassed.

"Oh you need to go" Debby piped in excitedly, "It's the event of the year the one chance for all these country yokels to really put the boat out and dress up" she said with a giggle.

"Hey you who's a yokel" Gavin said.

She pulled a face at him putting her tongue out in jest.

"No really you need to go" she went on "George you taking Amanda" she asked.

"Eh well I am, I suppose" he replied.

"Well surely as you're the organiser this year you can get Alex a ticket" she asked, winking at me.

"Eh I don't know I mean its couples only, I'm not sure that I can swing it, I mean it wouldn't look good would it" he said squirming a bit.

"It's ok if I can't go then I can't go" I said looking out the window at the passing countryside.

Debbie persisted "Isn't Archie Spiers wife in hospital, she won't be using her ticket, Alex could use that one."

"Eh I'm not sure" George said.

"Yeah she is" Gavin said continuing "I play golf with him on Sunday, I'll ask him if it's ok, I'm sure he won't mind."

"There that's settled then Alex can come with us so not to play gooseberry on you and Amanda, but at least she will get to go, and it gives me an excuse for a shopping trip" she said laughing.

"As if you needed one" Gavin replied sighing in the front.

***********

We pulled into the parking lot of the Theme Park. George and Gavin got out and went to get Melissa's buggy from the back in case she got tired later. While me and Debbie climbed out the back, Melissa already was straining at my hand to get on with her adventure. We purchased day passes for a family and for Debbie and Gavin, once our bright yellow wrist bands were securely attached to our wrists it was off to start our day. We moved from ride to ride some more daring than other's, George, Melissa and I taking our seats in a variety of small metal cubicles as we were whirred around various rides at varying speeds, Debbie and Gavin usually closely behind us in the next cart.

We had been riding various attractions for just over an hour when we reached what was probably the largest ride in the park with water splash features and loop the loops that just terrified Debbie.

"Look you two guy's go on with Melissa, me and Alex will watch and have a ciggie" she announced as we approached the ride.

George looked at me "You ok with that?"

"Yeah its fine by me you three go and enjoy yourself I could do with a break." I replied.

The guy's walked of with Melissa hand in hand between them; me and Debbie retreated to a bench and sat down. Opening our bags we took out our cigarettes and both lit up.

"Been a good day so far, I'm enjoying it, I think Melissa and George are as well" I said.

"Yeah it has you three really look like a family together" she said, I blushed.

"Debbie can I ask you something"

"Yeah shoot"

"Is it illegal for cousins to become involved" I blushed again as I took a draw on the cigarette.

"You mean you and George"

"Eh well maybe" I stammered.

"Your only half cousin's aren't you?"

"Yeah well no it's not illegal, unusual but not illegal, you thinking about making a play for George"

I blushed again " I don't know he seems happy with Amanda but we know she's not right for him, I mean he's never given me any encouragement or sign that he's in the least bit gay or interested in me in that way, but recently he's been a whole lot more attentive and interested in me"

"Well there's only one way to find out you need to talk to him" she replied.

"I know but I scared, I don't want to waist it all, I'm so happy here with them and with you as my friend, and I've never been more comfortable with myself than I am as Alex"

"Well if you are going to make a move you will need to do it soon" she replied.

We sat in silence watching the two men and Melissa set of on the ride finishing our cigarettes and laughing at their antics as the ride screamed upwards. Debbie glanced at her watch,

"Me and Gavin need to nip away for an hour or so" she announced.

"Why" I asked a bit surprised.

"Well you see that hotel we passed on the way in"

"Yeah" I said.

"Well we've arranged to meet a couple there for a bit of afternoon fun."

I blushed "Debby Cairns you shameless hussy" I said.

She shrugged her shoulders, "What can I say, we met them at a swinger's night a few weeks ago, nothing happened but they just live up the road and it was too good an opportunity to miss. She's got a great pair of boobs so pert and a great ass I just can't wait to get my hands on it"

I blushed again "So do you and the other woman get together" I asked.

"Yeah usually start's out that way then the guy's become involved" she said dropping her cigarette and crushing it out with her shoe.

"So does Gavin ever" I stopped.

"What"

"Well does Gavin ever get involved with the guy's you know."

"Not often but he has done, there was one guy…."

"Eh too much information let's just leave it there" I said.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see the ride coming to an end and George and Gavin lifting Melissa out.

"Eh well you enjoy" I said as we stood up.

"We will, we'll be back in just over an hour, anyway give you and George a chance to talk maybe" she said as we walked towards the guys.
