Brenda's marriage has been on the rocks for a while. Working a full time job, she also comes home to do loads of chores and deals with the kids while he plays poker at the bar with his friends after work.
She suspected that he's had his own fling or two based on his unnatural behavior and excuses, but she can't seem to nail anything down for certain.
Tonight was the last straw. Not even a phone call - just a text message saying he'd be out late with the guys.
Brenda calls up her sister to see if she can take the kids for the night. She wants a night alone to take a bath, go out... something! Her sister agrees. An hour later, the kids are picked up and whisked away. Brenda turns on a hot bath, and slowly dips her curvy petal-soft skin into a tub full of bubbles.
"Oh shit, I forgot..."
Wrapping herself in a towel, she drips along the floor and heads to the kitchen. She grabs a glass, fills it up to the brim with red wine, and brings it back to the tub.
Easing into the tub again, her breasts become covered just enough to keep her warm instead of chilled.
She takes a sip of wine.
Then a gulp.
"Ahhh. That's more like it."
Time passes by. Then Brenda gets a buzz on her cell.
Wendi invites her to go to the bar to get out of the house. Usually Brenda turns stuff like this down - but not today.
"Wendi, that sounds wonderful! What time? Eight? Yeah, I can make it! I'll meet you there."
A long, drawn-out sigh leaves Brenda relieved. She is going to have fun tonight, one way or another.
The bar was a great idea. Brenda & Wendi catch up on d times. They talk about their kids, marriage (or what's left of it), their jobs... When out of the blue they are treated to a couple of drinks on the house.
The two ladies look around and spot a couple of gentlemen across the way. They smile and wave at the ladies politely, then they return to talking to each other casually.
"That was nice!" Wendi says.
"Yeah... It was. I haven't been bought a drink for quite a while..."
The girls talk a bit more, and Wendi calls it quits.
"Brenda, thanks for catching up with me tonight! Don't be a stranger! Let's do this every now and then. You need some adult time too from time to time."
"We will. Maybe in a month? Let's make this a regular thing. It's a great escape." Brenda says.
Wendi leaves. She notices that one of the two gentleman is still at the other end of the bar. As he finishes up his talk with the bartender, he looks over at Brenda. They lock eyes. He bashfully smiles and looks down.
She smiles wider. They make eye contact again. He smiles, orders another couple of drinks, and heads over to her with them.
"I am certain that you have to be the most beautiful woman I have seen come into this bar before. I am so out of your league, but I had to take a shot. Fortunately this liquid courage helped me swing the bat."
Brenda laughs. Her touch of Louisiana southern belle accent cannot be entirely masked. "Handsome. You have no idea how much you have made my day today. I'm Brenda."
"Handsome even!? Today must be my lucky day! I feel like I'm batting a thousand." He kisses Brenda's hand sweetly. "Your highness, I am Mike."
Her heart flutters. She blurts out instinctively without thinking... "Mike, if you play the-your-cards right, lucky will... Ummm..."
