How Green Becomes Wood

I took a vacation last year, went camping for a couple days. Gotcha beat. Wanted to bring Dark and Tarot but they had the boys and no shot was I making a pregnant woman piss in a hole. I just call one of my friends from the shelter, they come out and hold the fort. Sometimes I call Dark, but sometimes the cats have special needs, so it's better to call someone more familiar with them.
 
Lex considered this for a moment. I'm a city girl through-and-through (still pissed in a few holes) and I kind of hate it. Can I invite myself to one of your shorter trips some time to give camping a try? I've only heard a mix of horror stories and the kind where the worst part is they had less cell service. I'd like to see what the real deal is like
 
If you'd like to try roughing it, I'd be glad to take ya, if you've got your own tent and are prepared to hike. Gotta carry your own supplies. Could invite Dark too, he's great at cooking over a fire. Better than me.
 
She didn't have a tent and wasn't sure what kind of supplies would even be needed, but she figured those were details she could figure out later. Sounds great to me! Just give me some advanced notice, and I'll get my crap together for it. Outside, a car horn honked. She rolled her eyes in amusement. Speaking of advanced notice... I gotta go. Toby's taking a summer class for driver's ed and needs supervised time behind the wheel. I'll see you tomorrow at 3 right?
 
He's going to need it! And thanks, Coog. See you tomorrow! She pocketed her phone and headed out as Toby honked again. "Alright, alright! Hold your hat on! Geez, you honk like a natural Jerseyan."
 
The next day, while Alec was at work, Lex had her garage door open as she carefully moved a large, blanket-covered statue out on a dolly, moving carefully as the cracks in the cement caught the wheels. Cooger should be there soon, and she wanted to be ready and not leave him waiting.
 
Lex snickered. "I'd let you peak, but it took me half an hour to get these stupid things to stay properly. I'll be unwrapping it and taking my blankets when we get there, so you can see it then, okay?" She got it as close to his truck as she could and nodded to him. "Ready to heave-ho?"
 
"I'll be patient, I'll be patient," Cooger teasingly grumbled, moving around to the other side of the statue and got into a safe lifting position before helping her to heave it up. After the difficult part was done, and he was strapping it down, he said, "Do I get to know what it is before we get there, or are you leaving me in antici---"
 
Lex gave him an amused glance before double-checking the ties. She trusted Cooger, but she also knew how easy it was to make a mistake or overlook something. If it had been her tying it down, she hoped Cooger would check her work. "Pation it is!" she told him with a smirk. "It'll look better set up, anyway."
 
"Aw, you didn't even let me finish the joke, that's not fair," Cooger shook his head, about half disappointed, "C'mon, don't wanna keep your guy waiting. But if I'm hauling some freak s*** back there, I'm charging you extra."
 
"Now you have to wait in antici---" Cooger winked, buckling his seat belt and starting his truck, "and good. 'Cause I didn't sign up to be traumatized. I've accidentally encountered a lot of freaky things I didn't ask to see. I don't want to be involved in delivering it, I know my buisness cards say I do almost anything, but that falls outside the almost. I want no part in your Sexhibition."
 
Lex smirked at Cooger, her eyes glinting wickedly. "A sexhibition, eh? I bet you'd be the star of the show, the main event, and the piece de resistance all in one if you took part in one. Especially a Sexhibition for two."
 
"Woah, hey," Cooger blushed, unable to look back at her as his cheeks, "I don't know about all her. I'm not really that type of guy, you know, and---don't get me wrong, I ain't kink shaming, D--I know some people who are into the sorta stuff, but it's a bit... hardcore."
 
Lex laughed and gave Cooger a gentle smack on the arm. "Relax, Coog, I'm just messing with you. It's nothing like that." She paused a beat before saying, "If it was, I wouldn't take you in case they wanted to keep you. Red hair is pretty in demand, you know."
