Chapter 54

Posted: July 12, 2008 - 10:00:45 am


Day Fifty-four - Friday

My face was resting on its favorite pillow, Sue's big beautiful boobies. There was a difference though; there was a body against my back with a hand holding my dick. My arm was around Sue but was resting on the hip of even another person whose hand was cupping one of Sue's wonderful breasts.

What the fuck! Oh yeah, Sandy and Mandy. Now what. Do we wake up and fuck or do we send them home. Today is, ah, oh yeah, Friday. If it were tomorrow, I'd say fuck 'em but today is a workday so...

Sue's eyes opened smiling at me. We kissed lovingly many times until the hand holding my dick squeezed it and a voice said, "Get a room."

The other three of us cracked up considering our current condition. I raised up and said, "It's five thirty, let's shower and get ready for work." Sandy and Mandy slid out of bed, gave both Sue and me sweet kisses, pulled on their robes, and left for their house.

Sue gave me some kisses while fondling me. "Did you enjoy taking care of my two little girlfriends?"

"What was that all about anyway?" I asked, wondering still how that all got started.

"Those two think you walk on water. They told me they were in love with me because I was married to you, but were in love with you because you are who you are, the way you are. They told me they would be my slaves if I let them have you every once in a while. So they got loved and I got slaves. I just have to figure out what to do with a couple of mechanical slaves."

Sue laughed, getting out of bed and tugging me toward the shower. We played and loved in the shower, with me donating another juicy load into her clutching pussy.

We didn't even run out of hot water, and were dressed, ready to go by six. I made coffee and turned on the patio lights, giving those who may have been waiting for the welcome sign. They were welcome anyway; they really didn't need me to turn the light on. The TV weather lady said it was going to be dry today and tomorrow, but rain Sunday. The news people were still showing the video of the courthouse thing. Kind of amazing, as there was no one hurt, no major damage, just a poorly constructed metal stairway repaired yesterday morning. This morning though, they named our company and named Bob, Tim, and me, telling the world that my company was a thriving small business in the northwest Tampa area.

Folks poured in, ready to work this morning. Phil arrived with his donation of breakfast sandwiches from Ronald McDonalds. Everyone seemed anxious to start the day. That was really exciting to see.

The previous night's participants of the tub party were all happy and content, without showing any hint that we had all been fucking like bunnies a few hours ago. The really cool ones were Sandy and Mandy. They were just as they always were, not standoffish to us, but they had the demeanor that they could be really cold with a flip of the switch.

Phil asked Sue if she were ready to be a movie star. She said she was ready anytime. He said the video guy would be at the shop no later than eight thirty, so we should be able to get this done quickly. Phil showed me what he wanted to see on the video.

I asked him if the video guy could shoot us from the time we got out of the truck until we were completely set up with tools laid out on the table. That way he could do one of those time lapse things where we would be shown speeding up getting something out. It would slow to a stop with each feature we pulled out. Then he could concentrate on all of the various features of the truck and the toys on it.

Phil liked that idea as an opener.

At the shop we pulled the truck into the frame welding bay and parked it so the S&S logo on the floor was near the rear of the truck. We put the cover back over the truck, as I wanted to sell a cover with each truck to emphasize taking care of a valuable item.

The video guy had three cameramen to tape everything from multiple angles. Sue and I put on our orange jumpsuits that had been well pressed and had the embroidered logo on the sleeve. Sue's jumpsuit had been altered to show off her butt and bust. She didn't need any help with the bust part at all. She came out with her hair in a ponytail and enough cleavage to daydream over. Phil even told her to zip up a little.

We went through taking the cover off, pulling the table out and setting up the legs, displaying the big vise that was on the end of the table. Next, we set up the big sunscreen over the end of the table. From there, Sue and I pulled out welding tools, clamps, ground straps, and grinders with files lying next to them. I laid out the coiled block and tackle while Sue pulled the safety harness and ropes out. Next, she pulled out the portable backpack, while I uncoiled the lines to one of the wire feed arc welders. We laid out as much as we could, then cranked the gas generator and compressor.

I brought two pieces of scrap over and handed them to Sue. She knew the drill and began cleaning them up and shaping them to weld them. She used the compressor air hose to clean off any debris around the cleaned area. Next she set the pieces at an exact right angle using a square to check then picked up the wire feed, pulled down her hood and hit the piece twice, tacking it. She re-measured with the square, just like I taught her and then with a perfect touch drew a very slick, low, bead around the piece of pipe.

Just like a good tech, she took the hood off and put away the arc line, shutting everything off and began grinding and filing, then sanding her weld. She spun the clamp loose and held up the pipe to a camera for a close-up to show an absolutely perfect weld.

Phil asked us to put everything away the same as we did on a job, so Sue and I cleaned off the table after coiling the arc lines. We shut down the compressor and released the air, as well as shutting down the generator and locking the cover down. When all the equipment was put back in the exact positions, I swept up around where we had worked, then Sue and I covered the truck. It was exactly like we had found it.

The video guy said he had great stuff and could make a really good fifteen to thirty minute video.

We pulled the truck out and parked it in its place so the frame guys could go to work. They were all commenting how good Sue was. Tim was telling everyone that, between the two of us, he thought we were probably the best he had ever seen.

That was a nice compliment.

Debbie said she had a surprise for me. She handed me a faxed S&S order form for a hundred and four thousand dollars. This was an order for a custom truck. I whooped then grabbed Debbie and gave her a hug. I bounded upstairs to show Tiny and Phil that we actually already had an order. The field guy apparently received the homemade brochure and showed it to a major contractor. He took one look at it and the list of accessories and said he wanted one bad enough that he gave us a purchase order with a fifty- percent deposit.

Phil said, "See, I told you it would sell. Maybe it is too cheap."

This would be easy; I called the Ford dealer to order the truck. I asked for the guy from the day before and he was not there so I asked for a sales manager. When I began to get stonewalled by the guy I was talking to I asked his name then told him to hang up, as I would not be doing business with him.

I went up to ask Tiny about his Ford contact. He called the same dealer but asked for the dealer himself. They chatted a couple of minutes then Tiny told the guy that his company was going to be buying quite a few F550 or F650 diesels. Tiny said he didn't want to have to shop, he wanted to be able to call and have the truck delivered to the bed shop so it could be processed.

The dealer gave Tiny a price for the F650 that was several thousand less than the F550 I was quoted on yesterday. Tiny also got a price for the F550 but the dealer said right now, he had several 650s and would really work with us on them. Tiny gave him a P.O. and asked for his bank's transfer numbers so we could get the truck to the bed shop today.

I called the various manufacturers for all of the equipment that went into the truck. I would have everything by next Wednesday. We could deliver the truck to the customer Thursday or fly them in to drive it home Thursday or Friday. I liked the fly them in idea, as we wouldn't lose any manpower days driving around the country.

Because all of my figures had been based on estimates that I had made, along with the gouging the salesman was going to do on the truck, our profit margin on the package was going to be obscene. The salesman was going to get a bonus for selling the first one.

Tiny said he had to apply for a motor vehicle dealership license as we would be selling the truck and delivering it with a certificate of origin. He said he had done the application online so it should be only a matter of rubber stamping everything.

He advised me that the attorney decided to incorporate S&S Enterprises and probably sell all of Steve Sharp, Inc. to S&S then closing Steve Sharp out. The idea was that we were growing so fast, some anonymity might me good on my part. He said he had already had multiple BBB (Better Business Bureau) inquiries.

I told him that I knew nothing about how to handle business and I was in the hands of the lawyer and him, so be nice to me.

Sue had visited everyone in the shop and was at her desk. She said this was the first time she actually was able to sit at her new desk. I asked her if she wanted to call back some of the customers, but she declined. When the phone rang, she grabbed it before Debbie could and began a long conversation. I couldn't tell who she was talking to until she finally said, "Did you tell them that a couple women built your motor and then a girl built your trike?"

She was taking to Gene. She finally hung up smiling. She said Gene was ecstatic as he had the pole on Sunday's race, plus his Busch car was blowing the doors off everything on the track. The NASCAR guys were already talking teardown again. If they did, they had to pay to get it put back together, and he said that it would be my two ladies who would be doing the putting back together.

He had said that Shawna could possibly be very busy building motorcycles for the egomaniac drivers. He wanted her to know she was supposed to charge through the nose to build for anyone else. Sue said she was going to tell the girls and Shawna what Gene had said and that perhaps I could take her home for lunch.

Sue and I went home for lunch, then to the gym. Afterward, we lazed by the pool, getting some sun for almost forty-five minutes. I said that this was the vacation that I had in mind when I landed in Tampa a couple of months ago.

Sue said to me, "I don't want anyone but you for a while. It's a lot of fun to play with everyone, but I'm going to have your baby and I don't want even a sliver of a chance that anyone else might contribute to helping make that baby. You have a lot of women to take care of, with Sandy and Mandy crazy for you. Those two have become very close to me for some unknown reason. I want them as part of our lives, but separate too. They're going to be aunts when I'm a mom. Are you going to be able to handle being a dad, or are you going to be like Uncle Ben and dodge your responsibilities?"

"You are mine, Sue. That I'll be a dad someday is a really good feeling. You'll have to kick me out because I'm sticking with you. You're all I need in life."

We kissed softly then wandered home. I went back to the shop to be surrounded by Debbie, Phil, Judy, Ruth, and Tiny. They were going nuts.

Debbie said, "We have three more truck orders. Believe it not, we have three more truck orders, one boom and two standards. Three more, can you believe it?

Tiny said, "How does it feel to come up with a half a million dollar idea yesterday and see it gel today."

"It's only a little over four hundred grand, Tiny," I corrected.

"No it isn't," Debbie broke in, "the customer ordering the boom ordered another hundred thousand of welding equipment, saying we were giving better discounts than the manufacturer's rep."

Phil said, "See Tiny, I know where the price point should be."

"This is really exciting. But this means a ton of work to get all this done," I said shaking my head is disbelief.

Debbie said, "I've already ordered all of the equipment to put on the trucks, and the other equipment is being drop-shipped to the customer. Tiny ordered the trucks so all you need is a human to put everything together. The bed company has everything in stock, so we will have the trucks Monday and should be able to ship Thursday."

Phil said, "Go think up something else for the guys to get rich on."

"We need a man to build out these trucks. The equipment has to be mounted and a few brackets made and welded in place. It will need to be painted where we weld it."

"You already have who you need," Debbie said, "Hank can do all of that. He went to body shop school and learned how to do everything with sheet metal and bodies. He became a painter because that was the job that was open. Unless you really start to sell a lot of these, he should be able to handle the painting and the trucks. I'll just give him the list of equipment, he can see how you stocked your truck, and make the new ones exactly like it. See, it's easy."

"If you say so, Debbie. Great idea."

I followed Ruth, Tiny, Judy, and Phil upstairs to get a cup of coffee. So how has our week been this week? Did we do about half of last week?

Phil said quickly, "You have to be kidding, not with new people in the field. We've done at least twenty percent more than last week."

Tiny said, "I don't have all the numbers in yet, but it looks like we did collectively more than thirty percent over last week with your truck stuff and Abe's rebuilds. The race car support orders are no drop in the bucket either. That group is doing near two hundred grand a week."

That got my attention. "Did the motors put us over?"

"That and the total productivity. The whole crew is putting out a ton of product. I know it's good product because we have yet to get a complaint, just compliments."

"So what do we do next week?"

"Easy, Steve," Phil was excited again, "I have a whole new market for the fixed generator business. I have two major government groups that are meeting with us Monday. The orders from those folks should beat this week. And our good friend with the welding supply house is due to give us the orders that he was talking about. The first orders have been received and accepted so he knows we are on the up and up."

Tiny was smiling broadly, "No where to go but up."

"You guys are bad. You have your head in the clouds. I need to get grounded. I gotta go down to the shop."

The mood in the motor shop was party time. They had produced four motors today and they all tested within a range too close to declare a winner. I told them that with their efforts, many owners and drivers were going to be singing their praises. They all had a fresh engine in front of them, but none of them wanted to lift another wrench for the day.

"Let's button up the shop and make it sparkle for Monday morning. When you're done, there seems to be a keg out on my patio that doesn't ever get emptied. I think you guys need to try."

The sheet metal guys were already cleaning up. I gave them the same speech and invited them to have a beer at the house if they wanted.

The frame area was spotless. All the tools had been put away and all of the frames that had been in progress were complete and either on paint racks or in a row at the back of the area. Tom was going over his inspections as I came up. He made a comment that he had only found one sort of bad weld all week and only one angle off by almost a full degree. He had cut it, cleaned it and re-welded it to get the correct angle. The first error was easier to correct and was corrected on the spot. He said he felt they were putting out perfect work and looked forward to not finding any errors all next week.

I repeated the offer of some free beer to everyone, but cautioned them that if they did not normally drink, to make arrangements to get home without driving.

Abe had his folks straightening and cleaning. He said he was proud of his men as they had really produced this week. Looking ahead, he thought his group would be very profitable for a long time to come.

I gathered them together and offered some free beer to them with the same cautions. Some were coming, some were not. All knew they were welcome. Abe said he would pick up Alice and be out soon.

Outside, I found the contractor who was presiding over a table with blueprints spread out on it. I told him that we were going to be totally out of his hair, as he had requested, for the entire weekend. He said he was going to surprise me Monday morning, as he had his crew, plus two other major contractors and crews were working this weekend to see if the building could be completed. I wished him luck as it was supposed to rain on Sunday. He said that would be fine as everything would be covered and the work would be inside. He asked me a couple of questions about offices and doors, then turned his attention back to the cranes snatching large pieces of siding and roofing from a huge pile.

I told Debbie to wind up what she was doing and straighten her desk. It was getting to be time to go. She had a long trip to make with Hank, and they needed to get on the road. When she said it was only four thirty, I told her it was Friday after a hell of a week.

My desk was straight, so I went upstairs to clear out the customer service girls and invite them to come to the house if they wanted.

I called Sue to see if she had called our little Greek restaurant friend and she said she had. He was already laying out all kinds of food on the big table. I knew he would put on a good feed for a bunch of hungry workers if he were offered to make a buck.

He was good at what he does, as Sue said he had a bunch of iced tea along with a big fifty-cup pot of coffee that he had not started yet.

I told Sue that some folks were going to be arriving within minutes, so she should get the park girls she had already talked to, to come be waitresses and cleanup folks for us.

Phil told me two of the road guys were coming back in this afternoon, as they were so successful that they had run out of order forms. I think they also wanted a taste of the commission they were going to receive. That meant, along with the road techs, the company now had over fifty employees.

"Pretty awesome don't cha think?" I thought to myself.

If fifty folks and their significant others show up out there, the place is going to get crowded. Sue had even made arrangements with some residents to help park cars for us, so we should be okay.

I snuggled my pickup up behind Sue's car and walked around the house. There must have been over thirty people there already.

Sue had invited any of the folks from the park that wanted to come, as well as all of the company folks. She had also invited Jan and Dell, along with all of the folks from Gene's place, and the Lakeland NASCAR team that were not at the races.

The kicker couple that had been invited was iffy as to whether or not they would show up, but we hoped they did because we wanted them to hear a couple of the announcements we were going to make. I was going give Ben what he would love most, a peek in the books of a company that has produced more in a couple of weeks, than some major companies wish they could do in a month or a quarter.

One of the things I had forgotten about when figuring on people, was kids. Most of the girls in Phil's group had husbands and kids. Several of the folks in Abe's group not only had wives, but some of the younger ones also had kids. Even a couple of the welders had kids. Two couples, that I wouldn't have thought to have kids, had two each. That was Don and Donna and Robert and Roberta. Good looking kids too; none of them had eight fingers or three eyes or anything like that. With twenty or thirty kids, there were probably over a hundred people milling around.

There was a very popular guy on the patio, the beer driver. He had stopped on the way home to check how we were doing on our present keg, only to find out we were having a party. He stayed to have some food and beer with us. He ended up replacing our keg as it ran out. With this many folks he should leave another in our shed.

Our Greek friend who was catering the party, was smart enough to have several cases of booze that he could pull bottles from as my stock ran out. With him supplying the bartender and a couple of local girls as waitresses, the party was being handled very nicely.

The patio was getting some good use. Some folks were chatting while watching the big TV, some were huddled around the bar, some were playing pool, but most were circulating among everyone, enjoying the camaraderie with their fellow employees and their families.

Ben and Beth showed up, not believing all the people that were there. I explained how the whole thing had mushroomed from just our group, to the employees, then to a few of our customers.

About nine, Tiny had everyone come in close to hear some announcements.

When everyone's attention was focused on Tiny, Phil, and I, Tiny started out with, "This party is to celebrate a few things, but also to inform you employees of a few items. Phil will tell you about sales, but first let me tell you about some of the benefits that are now in place for you.

"Steve has made sure that all of us have medical insurance. The very nice thing is that he has dependent coverage for all of us. Maybe that's why he has hired so many husband and wife teams. So if your husband or wife does not work for the company, have them apply, they may have a skill we can use and it'll save us a buck on the insurance.

"Included in your insurance package is a nominal fifty thousand dollar life insurance policy and the opportunity to add more at your own expense, and to purchase group coverage for your family if you wish.

"Another thing Steve had me work on is a real 401K plan for all of us. This year the company is going to match deposits of up to ten percent of your present income. That means if you make a hundred dollars and tell us to put ten of your hundred into the 401K plan, we will deposit an additional ten dollars in there for you. Since you guys make a lot of money, some of you can get a bunch of free money. Now remember I said this year. If business continues as has been, then the company will probably continue with the extra ten percent bonus money. The bonus money is not guaranteed forever.

"Where your money is being invested is important. Steve said he had always been treated well using the Fidelity funds so we contracted with them to invest our money into their fund. Please note the company is not the client of the fund, we are the clients, the employees. Each dollar invested represents a share, so each and everyone of you has a say."

The crowd was stone quiet, oohing and aahing with each announcement.

"That's all the goodies I have for you right now, other than Ruth mentioned to me that we have had one hundred percent compliance on our drug screening and we are listed as a drug free company. Congratulations to all you potheads for giving it up. Now Phil needs to tell you a couple of things."

Phil stepped forward and looked at everyone. "This has been a couple of the most exciting weeks of my entire life. When I met Steve, I felt some excitement about the future but had no idea how big it was going to be. As I met each of you, and marveled at your individual abilities and dedication to Steve's goal of perfection, I was amazed there were that many genuinely hard working people available. All of you in our shops are unbelievably talented and productive.

"I see the sales, know of the shipping and deliveries, and hear the satisfaction from the customers. Let me tell you about the sales. Last week, our sales were so far out, someone even made a bet that they couldn't be that high. If I were an outsider, I would have made that bet as well. But the outsider lost because we really killed them last week.

"This week, we hired more people to help us sell. They sold. Even though they were only in the field a couple of days, they were highly successful. One salesman said he had to come back to town this weekend because he ran out of order forms. That's as good an excuse as I've ever heard. I like it.

"Our founder, Mr. Sharp, or Steve, as you know him, came up with an idea the other day. He developed the idea, and with his assistant, Debbie's help, created a brochure. Tiny helped figure out how much to sell the idea for, then some of the hokey homemade brochures were sent out to the sales force. It was a good idea because it brought in a half a million dollars of orders in two days. I think that was a great idea. I personally hope he comes up with a few more ideas.

"Abe's group got some recognition this week as well. While Abe's rebuilt equipment has been selling regularly, he had felt he was going to over produce and we would have rebuilt generators coming out our ears. That won't happen soon. Abe received an order for fifty big units. He had to go out and hustle to find equipment that he could rebuild. That would have been fine but, he then received another order for thirty-five units. So with his regular orders, Abe now has orders for over one hundred units, plus air compressor and multiple forklift orders. That deserves a hand."

Everyone clapped and hollered.

"The next group that is pretty unbelievable is the race car support group. They are producing frames that are now the benchmark of the industry. The sheet metal shop has so many orders the trucks that deliver the raw material, wait for a load going out to deliver the cut and formed panels.

"Then there is the motor and paint shop. Last weekend our motors were tested and approved by NASCAR. Our motor ran for twelve hours straight and at what most would consider peak RPM. The driver said the motor was just as responsive after twelve hard hours as it was when he started. We passed the teardown perfectly. This wouldn't be that big a deal except the motor shop now has enough orders that four teams can produce a motor a day each for the next three weeks and we still won't be caught up. Let's here it for these folks."

Again loud applause whistles and hoots.

"Now the numbers. Last week we did an amazing amount, but the figures were skewed a bit from a couple of windfall deals. As most of you know we did over sixty-eight million in orders last week. "This week we didn't have any big windfalls, but we did open some new markets, plus we had new salesmen and Abe had field techs that were now selling. In addition, we had Steve's idea that is taking off.

"This week we only did seventy-seven million in total sales."

There was an audible gasp. It was probably me, I couldn't believe it.

"When I asked Steve if we could do a couple of things to boost sales, he said he needed to get grounded and headed for the shop. If I can, if we can, we're going to exceed that number next week and the week after. If the manufacturers can keep up with us, and we can keep up with ourselves, we should reach a hundred million in sales a week in a few weeks."

Phil had calmed the audience with his sincerity about his intended effort to reach these unheard of numbers.

"Now how about hearing from the guy that needs grounding, our boss, Steve."

I scratched my head, then twirled my mustache. "What can I say to all that good news from two of our cogs in the wheel? Everyday is exciting to be a part of our group that is making something happen. That something is the pride of producing the absolute best there is. I'm proud of our folks, very proud. Each of you have taken my goal and worked hard to reach it. Each of you has felt my desire to be as perfect as possible and have been perfect.

"Only Tiny knows what's coming right now. He thought I was nuts but said I could do whatever I wanted for my people. To honor the extra effort that every one of you has given, I have a reward for you. This is a one whole month of rewards. For the next four weeks every person in the organization will have his or her wages doubled. If you get ten dollars an hour now, you will receive twenty dollars an hour. If you then get time and half for overtime you will then get thirty dollars an hour."

It was absolutely still for a couple of seconds then one person began clapping, then more began cheering, whistling, and hollering, until it I had to wave my hands for them to hold it down.

"Remember to watch the races this week as our motors are running Sunday. I'm excited to see how they do. Now everyone eat up, have some more to drink. There are folks here to drive you and your car home, so before you drive off on your own, check with us, your friends, to make sure you can get home safely."

Phil looked at me and asked, "Am I going to receive double too?" Tiny answered for me, "Even double commission for every sale. Steve said no exceptions. Every person gets double."

I went over to Sue, who was sitting with a stunned Beth and Ben. Ben said, "I'm not going to even say you're nuts. It's an understood fact. But then your group just produced seventy-seven million. At thirty percent that's over twenty-three million gross profit. You can afford it. Some of your salesmen are going to get so rich they will quit. I don't know how you did it but you obviously did. Congratulations. I hope you all get to that hundred million week."

"The only way for us to maintain this sort of volume is to export and sell to a wider territory. We have been given permission to sell in a wider territory so all we have to do is to hire the outside folks to sell and the tech support folks for customer service. Of course it takes two people in the office to handle one in the field so that means more in the office as well."

Ben asked, "Where are you going to put them?"

"As we speak, the total office space is being quadrupled. New additions on each side of the existing building should be complete by Monday morning. The shop area is being extended by sixty feet as well."

"Is that in addition to the building you already did?" Ben wondered.

"Yep, we only increased plant size before, now we are increasing office space or rather space for cubicles as well as plant space. We are also going to have a training room and an auditorium for meetings."

"So do you know how many people you have working for you this week?" Ben asked sarcastically.

"I think it's fifty-two or fifty-four. I'm not sure how many field sales and field techs we have at this moment."

Ben shook his head, "That is totally amazing. It's really hard to believe you could do all this on your personal holdings and effort."

"I didn't do it by myself. Sue helped a lot. Abe helped me recognize a potential market. The big thing has been that opportunities have been there and we have just taken advantage of them."

"Was Tiny serious about letting me see the books?" Ben asked.

"Sure," I said with a smile. "Why not, what are you going to see but numbers. You can't steal any secrets looking at numbers."

"You know, I really don't need to see the books. I just couldn't believe you could do what was being told to me. Since then, I've had a chance to digest everything. I applaud what you've done. I'm proud to be your in-law. I hope I can make you proud of me."

Sue was very amazed at the turn around Ben showed. "She went over to him and hugged him giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Ben added as a last comment, "This is a hell of a way to promote good will among your people. The announcements were great and the bonus is even better. What will you do for an encore? I can't wait to find out. Great party Steve and Sue, it's very nice."

Sue said, "I thought he was nuts to try to put this together in a couple of hours, but he did. I still can't believe it all came together so easily and almost effortlessly."

Ben and Beth left, with us promising to come by Sunday for dinner and a pool game rematch.

By ten-thirty, all of the folks with kids had gone, and only a few driving folks were left. I made sure that they all had drivers to get home then sent them on their way. The Greek guy and the waitresses cleaned up everything leaving some wings and a tray of snacks. He wrote up a bill and Tiny gave him a check along with tipping his help and the waitresses.

The only folks left were Tiny and Ruth, Phil and Judy, and Sue and me. Our biker buddies couldn't handle the crowd and went for a ride. I went to the bar and made Sue and I our first real drink of the evening. We had felt it too important of an evening to let our senses get numbed or slowed, so we had waited.

Phil said, "I can't believe you gave everyone a whole month's pay as a bonus. Are you going to be able to afford it?"

Tiny answered for me, "Just keep selling Phil, just keep selling. When margins go down, as they will eventually, we won't be able to do something like this. This time next year, instead of fifty employees, we'll have over a hundred. Our numbers will plateau so our profits will stabilize as well. Knowing Steve though, I'm sure he'll come up with something exciting for us to do."

"Here's my plan, guys."

Sue leaned into me so she could hear me, as she didn't know what I had planned.

"We're going to let this thing grow on it's own to assume whatever size it needs to be. Our growth will come with new products and new markets. Look for opportunities, listen for opportunities, then act on opportunities. Let's let our luck run its course. Everything that's happened has been a little effort and a little luck. Let's just enjoy it.

"Sue and I are going to start a family. She's going to run her business and raise some carpet monkeys. I'm going to enjoy myself training and working with folks that want to be craftsmen. We are only accessing about two to three percent of that industry. I'd like to corner say twenty-five to thirty percent. That will take an easy ten years to do so there is another long-term plan.

"Phil, you have to train management under you that is as diligent as you are and who are as open with people as you are. Your success is because you are an open and honest guy. Of course you have Judy, that helps too, but she's doing her thing now and you're doing yours. Find your replacement so you can daydream about new markets, new opportunities, new products."

Phil and Judy left to go home, so Tiny and Ruth said they were done for the night and left.

Sue said, "Lets go up and get in the hot tub to relax a little."

When we came out of the house to walk up to the tub, Mandy and Sandy were in robes carrying towels. "Can we come too? We heard you say you were going and would love to go with you."

Sue kissed both of them and said "Please come with us."

In the tub we huddled together in the bubbles. Sue and I were between Mandy on my side and Sandy next to Sue. We three drank a beer while Sue had a can of Diet Coke. We sat in the tub calmly for over twenty minutes then decided to go back to the patio.

We all sat at the bar and chatted while having a last drink. Sue got up and stretched saying, "I'm ready for bed, would you two like to join us again? I really liked how you two snuggled."

We all went into the bedroom and snuggled together. Sue initiated some groping that continued till we were consummating our wedding vows once again. Then she went down on me to keep me up saying, "Now take care of my sisters for me, they need you too."

While I made love to one, the other made love with Sue. We continued until once again I was buried deep in Sue with a girl on each side, sucking on one of Sue's long nipples. One last come, one last long kiss, while I filled her with my seed.

We fell asleep tangled together, unable to avoid the multiple wet spots.
