Picket Fences! Part 39.3




Arlene and Jimmy got married (Part 38) and left the church in a taxicab to start their life together.


The newlyweds went to Arlene's apartment on Main Street.


When they got out of the taxi Jimmy said "Well, here we are Mrs. Martin."


Then before Arlene had a chance to say anything, he picked her up and carried her up the stairs to their apartment.


"It was a beautiful wedding wasn't it?", said Arlene.

"Yes, everything was perfect", he said.

"Jimmy, you can use the bathroom first. Then when you're finished I want to take a bath", she said.


After Jimmy used the toilet and changed into his pajamas, he relaxed on the bed and waited for Arlene.


Arlene decided she needed a bath to help her relax. Even though she had been anticipating this night . . .


She was nervous as she joined Jimmy on the bed.


He asked her to cuddle which she liked.


He gave her tender kisses on her hand which she enjoyed.


He gave her a romantic kiss . . .


And they madeout.


"You want to do woo hoo Mrs. Martin?", he asked.


"NO! I can't do it", she said.


"You're my wife Arlene. It's our wedding night", he said.


"I'm sorry Jimmy", she said.

"I never expected to be turned down on my wedding night", he said.


"I think maybe I'm just tired from the wedding. Maybe after a good night's rest I'll feel better", she explained.

"I'm not going to force you to do something you don't feel like doing", he said.


Jimmy got up off the bed . . .




And went into the bathroom and cried. Poor Jimmy . . . married life wasn't quite what he expected.


And while her new husband was in the bathroom feeling rejected.


Jimmy went into the livingroom and studied up on his mechanical skills until he got sleepy.


By the time he returned to bed Arlene was sleeping soundly.


Jimmy got into bed and Arlene cuddled up close behind him.


But was dreaming about Rhys.


When they woke up the next morning, neither of them mentioned anything about last night.


Arlene went into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.


"Shouldn't you be getting dressed for work?", asked Jimmy.

"I got plenty of time before the carpool comes", she said.




The carpool came to pick them up at 8:30 A.M. Since they both work for Child Welfare they rode together to work.
