Jill and I met at church. This may sound very ho-hum, very ordinary. Jill is not an ordinary woman. In many ways, she is rather average. She's a wife and mother of three. Yes, I am the father of all three. An active volunteer in the kids' school, one would never suspect her background or our unusual relationship.
One very extraordinary aspect of her is her looks. She could easily compete with the centerfolds in the major men's magazines. Even after nursing three children, her breasts are still full and firm. Her legs are probably her best feature, long, strong, and tight. She's tall, 5'10" in her bare feet. Her blonde mane reaches to her waist. Her eyes are blue enough to drown in.
I think I fell in love with her that first Sunday when we met. I was sitting at the aisle end of the pew waiting for the service to begin when she excused herself and stepped in past my feet and sat down beside me. Without any hesitation, she held her hand out to me. "Hi, I'm Jill," she said.
I was a little taken aback by her forwardness. "I'm Ed," I said rather weakly as I shook her hand.
"Do you come here often?" she asked. She was very perky.
"Every Sunday. I grew up in this church. I don't remember seeing you before."
"I just moved here. I'm visiting a few congregations before deciding which one to join."
I stole a glance at her left hand. "This one has a good singles group. We need some new members, especially some pretty ones."
She smiled. "Thank you."
We got separated when the crowd filed out after the service. I stopped to talk to a couple friends before going outside. Jill approached me as I unlocked my car. "Ed," she called to me. I took a couple steps toward her as she ran to catch up with me. "I've been thinking about that singles group you mentioned. When's the next meeting? I'd like to check it out."
I did a lot of skirt chasing in my younger years, but never had one chased me. Jill really wasn't chasing me. She just wanted information from me. I wasn't about to let her get away. "There's a meeting to welcome new members at a restaurant up the street," I lied. "Why don't you join us?"
"Okay," she replied. "I'll follow you in my car."
"You could," I said, "or you could ride with me, and I'll bring you back after the crowd thins out."
She thought for a moment. "That sounds like a better idea."
Jill was a very animated talker. Her every statement carried enthusiasm, no matter what the subject, whether it was her being an only child or getting a new apartment. Her parents had been killed in a car crash a couple years before. That was the only thing that slowed her down. After an hour, she asked, "Where's the rest of the group?"
"I guess they couldn't come," I said.
She smiled. "You, sir, are a bit of a devil. You remind me of something my mother told me."
"What's that?"
"That if I wanted to meet a nice man, I should go to church."
It was my turn to smile and say, "Thank you." I paused for a moment. "Have you had a chance to get acquainted with our fair city?"
