Hey there, folks! I hope that you are all feeling fine. The last days of summer are here. Weather gets cooler, the days shorter. Nikki and I spent most of our time cuddling together in bed, enjoying each other’s company. As I have mentioned it in my last short journal, we celebrated our birthdays a short time ago, I turned 14, Nikki is now 19 years old.
This time I want to tell you about something a bit more special, at least for me. Mikey asked me months ago, if Nikki and I want to join him and his father on a camping trip for a weekend. It took us long enough, but we finally managed to do that. Mr. Kofi also joined us, since he loves camping. Must be because of his past in the military.
Mikey’s father really is a nice guy, as far as I can say that by now. I am so happy for my friend to finally be with someone who loves and accepts him like he is.
But as always, let us start at the beginning.
Chapter 1: Life Situations
Before we tell you about our camping trip, Nikki and I want to give you, our dear readers, a little update on some of the latest happenings around here. Let us begin with Anna, Mikey’s half-sister. Some of you might remember that she lived at the Kofi’s place, after she had to leave her old home. That was back in May. I made an entry about that, if you are interested, you can find it here:
Now, a few months later, Nikki’s parents decided that it was time for the girl to find a new place to life. Sadly this is easier said than done for a college student. Mom explained to me that living can be pretty expensive, especially if you want an apartment in a better area of the city. Our houses, for example, are located in a good area. Close to the shopping center, good schools and public transports. We also have several parks nearby, the biggest one is the beautiful Darwin State Park. As my mother told me, we could never afford to buy a house here today. She also explained to me, that the house was originally a gift from my father’s parents, who are better situated than we are. I don’t understand why, but they sadly give my mom the fault for my father’s demise, and that is why they barely have contact with each other since years. Well, beside from calls or letters.
I have visited them a few times in the past, but I don’t like it so much to be at their place. Their home is located in an area where fox and rabbit say good night to each other. That means, there is nothing. No cinemas, no shopping possibilities, they don’t even have cable TV or a computer. It is so damn boring there. And they are constantly nagging about mom, what is the most annoying thing for me. But there are also a few good things to say about them. Most of all, they support us with money, pay for repairs at the house, and my grandmother is a magician in the kitchen. Mom always says that I should love and respect my grandparents, for they love me more than anything, especially after what happened with dad. I just wish they would stop blaming my mother for that. Maybe I will return to that topic again later, or tell you about it in a separate entry.
But now back to Anna. The girl has found a job as an assistant in a lawyer’s office. This way she earns some money, but sadly not enough for her own apartment. That is why Nikki had the idea to find her a room in a shared apartment, but all places she visited so far weren’t really satisfying.
The worst-case Nikki and Anna told me about was with a couple of guys in a complete rundown apartment where you needed a shovel to clear a path, before you could enter it.
Good for Anna that Nikki knows a few cool people. Some of you might remember Raphael, the leader of Nikki’s theater group. They had a meeting about two weeks ago, during which Raphael mentioned that he would look for a new roommate. Anna and Nikki visited him, and days later Anna moved to her new home. She lives there now with Raphael and another girl from the group, I think her name was Angelike. I want to avoid bothering you with conversations or any more details here, since this isn’t why we are writing this entry here. If you have questions, then you can gladly ask them in the comments.
Let me think, yes, that should be it for that theme. Let us move on.
It was Thursday, the 30th of September. School just ended, and I slowly walked outside, while my eyes were fixed on my mobile’s display. I was chatting with Nikki, who told me that the principal of her college had summoned her to his office for the following day. No need to say that my girl was very nervous at this moment.
Suddenly, I heard Mikey’s voice behind me. He sounded excited.
“Balto! Balto, wait!”
I turned around, while I put my mobile into the pocket of my hoodie.
“Hey Mikey, do you need something?”
The fox stopped in front of me and needed a moment to catch his breath. I didn’t want to miss my bus, which is why I was a bit impatient.
“What is it, foxy? Was someone hunting you?”
He took a deep breath and smiled.
“No, I just wanted to catch you before you are gone. My dad said that he finally can go camping with me. I have waited for that since months! We will go on Saturday morning. Do you still want to come with us?”
I had to think.
“I don’t know, Mikey. Nikki and I only have the weekends for each other, and she was called to the principal’s office before. I think she might need me during the weekend.”
The young fox looked disappointed for a second, before he smiled at me again.
“Does Nikki like camping? You could bring her with you! I am sure that dad would love to meet her too.”
My gaze went down, I had to think about that.
“I will ask her and tell you tomorrow, ok? I also have to ask my mom, if she even allows me to go camping.”
I turned my head around and saw the bus coming.
“Ok Mikey, I got to go now. We can write on Pawtalk later. See you!”
I waved the fox goodbye, then I stepped into the bus and took a seat in the front row. I prefer those seats because I can look out of the front window during the drive. Plus, it is way quieter there than it is in the back.
It takes about 30 minutes till the bus arrives at my stop. After a short walk, I arrived at our house. I opened the front door, and could see Mr. Kofi sitting on the couch with mom, who turned her head to me. She must have taken a shower, since she was wearing her fluffy green bathrobe.
“Hey Champ, welcome home. How was school? Idrissa just helped me to repair the faucet in the kitchen.”
I didn’t even know that the faucet needed a repair, it seemed to be fine in the morning. But for now, I preferred not to put too many thoughts into that. I slowly moved to my favorite spot on the couch and sat down. It is the one in the corner because I can lean back and stretch out my legs there.
“School was fine, mom. Mikey asked me if I want to go camping with him and his father this Saturday. Would that be ok?”
Mom had a questioning expression in her face. My question must have really surprised her.
“You and camping? Balto, you do know that tents don’t have WLAN or power sockets, yes? Plus, I don’t really want to let you go into the woods with a man I have never met or even seen.”
I was annoyed by this WLAN-joke. I hate it when mom makes fun of me, especially if she does it in front of others. Mr. Kofi chuckled, before he offered something:
“Christa, I think it would be a good thing for him to do. I also think that Nicole will love to give him company. She always liked to be out in the nature, and she also loved to go camping with me, as she was younger. She wrote me before that she has a meeting with the college director tomorrow, and is pretty nervous about that. Which is why I think she could use some distraction over the weekend. And hey, maybe I could also join them, if this boy’s father is ok with that. I could show Balto and this Mikey a few things, keep an eye on them. You and Asha could maybe use the free time and visit a spa or something like that. Asha had a hard week with this latest costumer of hers, who constantly wanted to change arrangements for her wedding.”
Now mom wagged her big fluffy tail and smiled.
“Oh, that sounds wonderful, Idrissa. I really could use a massage or two. And if you go with them, I could be sure that Balto is safe.”
Mr. Kofi nodded, while a question raised in my head.
“Mr. Kofi, what has Mrs. Kofi to do with other people’s weddings?”
He and mom both looked at me, before Nikki’s father answered my question.
“Well Balto, Asha is a wedding planner. And she also designs wedding dresses. Have you never seen one of her creations while you have visited us?”
I shook my head.
“No, I don’t think so, Mr. Kofi. I am sorry.”
He giggled.
“No need to be sorry, my boy. Asha usually keeps them in her office, so they don’t get dirty or damaged. Oh, I have a pic here I can show you. It is one of my all-time favorites, and I am sure that you will like it too.”
The big feline showed me a photo on his mobile. And my eyes couldn’t get any bigger than they were at this moment. The picture showed his daughter in an astonishing white dress. Seeing Nikki, who usually wears belly free and sexy black clothes, in this breathtaking wedding dress, made me absolutely speechless. I simply couldn’t turn my eyes away from that photo. No sound was heard for over a minute, till mom’s voice broke the silence.
“I think my son just had a system crash. Idrissa, do you know how to reboot him?”
Now Mr. Kofi had to laugh.
“Maybe a glass of cold water in his face will help.”
My face showed a mad expression because of these comments.
“I will go to my room. I have to write Mikey about the weekend.”
But before I could leave, mom quickly stopped me by holding my hand.
“Balto, we are sorry. It was just funny to see you looking at Nicole like that. As if you hadn't been with her for over a year and a half.”
Nikki’s father added:
“I have seen that expression in your face only once before, and that was as Asha made that T-Bone Steak for you.”
I took a deep breath, before I silently answered him:
“That Steak smelled and looked so good, it was tasty and so big… But Nikki is better than the tastiest food on earth!”
Both my mother and Nikki’s father laughed out loud, after I have said that. Mr. Kofi stood up, just to kneel in front of me and look me into my eyes. "It is good to hear that from you, Balto. It is so nice for me to see and hear how much you love my daughter.” After he finished this sentence, he hugged me and went home.
I still remember the evening we told Mr. Kofi about our relationship for the first time. How he looked at me, how he threatened to call the police. With this in my head, his words now sounded even better. I gave my mom a kiss, before I walked to my room, with a smile in my face. I had to write Mikey, which is why I turned on my PC and started Pawtalk.
Balto_Fluff: “Hey Mikey, are you there?”
Mikey_ Graytail: “Hey Balto, I have waited for you. Have you asked your mom about the camping trip?”
Balto_Fluff: “Yeah, I have. She is fine with it, but Nikki and her father would like to join us. You think that this will be ok for your dad?”
It took him a moment to answer.
Mikey_Graytail: “Yes, absolutely. Dad just said that he would be happy to meet them both. I send you the address of our camping place. We will be there Saturday in the early morning. Oh, does Nikki’s dad maybe has a tent? We only have a three-person tent.”
Balto_Fluff: “I am sure he has. He was in the military, and it appears to me that he loves camping.”
Mikey_Graytail: “Cool. Well, dad wants to watch a movie with me, see you tomorrow in school!”
Balto_Fluff: “See you tomorrow, Mikey.”
Mikey_Graytail: “Oh, wait. Can I maybe ask you something else?”
Balto_Fluff: “Sure Mikey, what is it?”
Mikey_Graytail: “Where you ever asked to send nude pics? Somebody wrote me before and asked if I why send him pics of me.”
Balto_Fluff: “Mikey, I hope you didn’t do that. I am certain that was some kind of pervert. Better block that person, if you haven’t done it already. And no, I didn’t send pics to strangers who asked for it. But to be honest, Nikki and I made a few web shows and let others watch us during sex.”
Mikey_Graytail: “Really? Can I maybe see that too? Because Balto, I… I would really like to see you naked. Please don’t make fun of me, ok? I dream about you, since you kissed me…”
Balto_Fluff: “Mikey, I don’t know. But, well, ok. I send you a pic, ok? Wait.”
Balto_Fluff: “You got it? That is from this morning, made it just for fun. Like it?”
Minutes passed. No answer came back.
Balto_Fluff: “Mikey? Are you still there?”
Mikey_Graytail: “Yeah… Sorry Balto, I need to wash my … my teeth and go to bed. See you tomorrow!”
Balto_Fluff: “Sure, Mikey. I hope you had fun. See you tomorrow in school then.”
Wash his teeth. Maybe I should tell him to keep some wet tissues next to his desk, if he wants to masturbate.
After I turned off the PC, I stood up from my chair and made a few steps, till I laid down on my bed. My thoughts circled around my first camping trip, and Nikki. But what was more important at that moment was my girl. Why did the college director want to see her? Is she in trouble? I really thought that everything would go smoothly, after Nikki and I became a legal couple.
It was such a nice time since that, and now this. We could only wait and hope for the best. At the next moment, my door opened, and mom walked into the room. She was still wearing her green bathrobe.
Now I began to ask myself why she was wearing it, while Mr. Kofi was here. On the other hand, we went swimming together, mom was often taking sunbaths with Mrs. Kofi, so it wasn’t so unusual for him to see mom in a more, let me say, natural way.
She sat down next to me on my bed and put her hand on my shoulder to caress it gently. She seemed to be worried, if I interpreted her voice correctly.
“Is everything ok, Balto?”
I looked away from her, to one of the windows of my room.
“I guess so. I was just thinking about Nikki. I thought everything would be fine, after we became a legal couple. But it sometimes feels like nothing has changed. What if they want to expel her from college tomorrow? She would hate me forever.”
Mom gently turned my head towards her and smiled at me.
“She wouldn’t hate you, Balto. Nicole loves you, no matter what. She knows the risk she took, as you two formed this relationship. And I doubt that they will throw her out of the college. Maybe it is something completely harmless, maybe they only want to remember her not to do anything what could affect the school in any way. You will see, everything will be fine.”
She caressed my head, before she continued. “Now is there anything else in this little head of yours, how does Nicole always call you, Fluffy?”
I sighed. This nickname is like strong glue… it seems that it will stick forever.
“The camping trip. I never slept in a tent before, isn’t that uncomfortable? And where do we go to pee, or for number two?” Mom chuckled. “There are camping toilets for that. Idrissa has one of these for sure. So don’t worry about that. I feel that there is more than just that, Balto. Come on, spit it out.” Once again, a soft sigh escaped me. “It is Mikey. I fear that he doesn’t like it that I bring Nikki and her father with me. I think he wanted me more for himself.” Mom went silent for a second. “You mean that this Mikey is interested in you? Does Nicole know about that?” I nodded. “Yes mom, she does. She even has seen us kissing, when he and his sister were here that one evening.” Mom looked a bit surprised. “Wait, you kissed a boy? You manage to surprise me again and again, my son.” My head tilted. “Yes, I kissed him, even licked his muzzle a bit. Mickey told me that he likes boys, then he kissed me during our conversation. And I returned the kiss. That was the moment Nikki came into my room and witnessed the scene. She only laughed about it.” Mom looked at me with a serious expression. “Did you do more with him since then, Balto? That evening was by the middle of May, now we have October.”
I shook my head. “No, mom. I only see Mikey at school, since he and his father’s apartment is not really close to our house. He always wanted me to visit him over the weekend, but that is time I want to spend with Nikki.”
“Well Balto, this boy seems to like you. Maybe even more than just as a friend. I just hope that he can accept that your heart belongs to Nicole.”
I nodded, came closer to mom and rested my head on her lap. “He knows that, mom. Can, can I ask you something?” She responded, while she massaged my ears gently: “Sure, Balto.” “Did you and Mr. Kofi had sex before I came home?”
Mom was speechless at first, then she burst out in loud laughter. “Balto, why do you even think of that?”
“Because you were sitting there on the couch with him, covered in your bathrobe, and told me that he was here to repair the faucet.”
Mommy smiled and tousled through my hair, before she continued to massage my ears. This was so relaxing. I always loved it when mommy massaged my ears, it is a sure way to calm me down. “You watch far too much porn, my son. Idrissa came over to repair that thing, since it was leaking. I was just taking a shower, and my fur was still wet, as he came in. And that is it. Idrissa is the husband of my best friend since we were in your age. I would never dare to touch him, and he would never cheat on Asha. And now stop worrying about that.”
“But mom, would you like to do something with him?”
Now she squeezed my ear, it even hurt a bit. “Balto Star, even if this is nothing of your business. There was a time your father, Idrissa, Asha and I shared some fun together. I have never told you that since it happened before you were even born, and didn’t happen again after your father died. If you really want to know it, yes, I would kind of like to do it again because it was fun, and I didn’t have sex with a male for over 14 years now.”
Honestly, this confession shocked me a bit, and I saw a picture of Mr. Kofi having sex with mom. Mom’s grip on my ear still didn’t lose, and now it really began to hurt. “Mom, can you please let go of my ear? It hurts.”
She released my ear from her grip and excused herself, before I continued. This topic really was interesting for me.
“Is that why you play with Nikki sometimes?”
She sighed.
“To be honest, yes. Your girl is, well, she is like Asha was back then. So eager and playful. She reminds me very much of her mother. And, if I am already confessing this to you anyway, I had my first sexual experiments with Asha. I even own her my very first orgasm.”
Mom went silent, only our breathing was to be heard in the room. I thought that I might have crossed a line with my questions.
“I am sorry, mom.”
I looked up, and could see her nodding. “It’s ok, Balto. That all was long ago. But please, don’t tell Idrissa or Asha about this, ok? I mean, that I have told you all that. Now let us change the topic, ok? I have packed a few things for your trip, like a spray against ticks, something against mosquito bites, insect spray, wet tissues. I also packed you some condoms and this strawberry lube stuff. You and Nicole seem to have forgotten it in the shower. I also talked with Idrissa, he told me that Nicole is happy to go camping with you, and that she wants to sing songs with you at the campfire, and roost marshmallows. You sure will have a lot of fun."
A little yawn escaped me.
“I hope so, mom. Oh, can we maybe watch a few episodes of the series “Lucifer” together? Mikey told me that he and his father love to watch it together.”
Mom looked at the clock on my nightstand. “Sure Balto, if you want. I also heard good things about this series. Mostly that it made some members of the church angry, what is nearly always a sign for a good show. Want some cocoa and cookies?”
My tail wagged fast in excitement, as we both stood up and walked into the living room. Hot cocoa, chocolate chip cookies and cuddling with mommy. What can possibly be better? (Beside having Nikki here, for, let me call it, biology lessons *giggles*).
The next chapter will be posted soon. It is based on Nikki's Friday, which is why she wrote it out of her perspective.
Nikki: *looks s bit shy* thank you my dear. Should I say that I claimed h This dress for me, after I worn it for the photos? I want to wear this on.. on my big day. I can't wait for the time Balto is old enough to ask me.. like many girls, I dream of a fairytale wedding...
