I've been visiting my sister for a week. My husband and I moved a couple of months back and I've been looking for a job with no success. I'm educated and when we moved I didn't think I'd have a problem, but it's a small town and has few jobs for ladies. I'd become frustrated when Sis asked me down.
My husband and I have no children and he doesn't particularly want any. I'm in my thirties now and beginning to get concerned. I love him and our marriage is solid, but I do wonder. I have a devotion to sex and it's been only with him since we married years ago. He's told me that our marriage is an open one and that we may either one get involved temporarily out of the marriage. We've neither one done it... at least I haven't.
Sis's family and I have had fun and the week was rapidly coming to an end. We were going to go to a movie tonight, but at the last minute things changed. The family was invited out and felt they couldn't refuse. They invited me along, but I wouldn't know anyone so I told them no. They left in early afternoon and wouldn't be back until late.
Late this afternoon I decided to go out for dinner because I hate fixing just for myself. I took a shower and did my hair and applied a bit of makeup. At the last minute I decided to put on something a bit more daring. I don't know why I did it, it was just a whim I'd had. So I put on a strapless bra and a thong of all things. The thong was low-cut transparent and skimpier than most in front. I selected a short skirt and a nice blouse. The blouse had buttons and so I left the top three undone and checked the mirror. I looked kind of sexy without looking like I was on the prowl. I put on a pair of two inch heels, got in the car and drove to a small restaurant I'd seen on my first day here.
The restaurant sat at the edge of a small mall and it was sandwiched by the mall edge and a surrounding residential area. When I'd passed it before it was always packed, but when I pulled into the lot tonight it was nearly empty. I was yearning for company and felt disappointed but went in anyway.
The place had a few families and a lot of waitresses. The young gal at the cash register asked if I was alone and I looked around and smiled before saying yes. Instead of seating me in the area where everybody else was, she took me to a smaller side area and seated me at a small table near the window. She handed me a menu and asked if I'd like something to drink. I ordered coke and she told me the waitress would be with me in a minute. It was several minutes before she showed up with my coke.
I'd been thinking of a light salad, but the menu looked so good that I decided on chicken breast with cheese sauce and mixed vegetables. As I was starting to order I noticed the cashier bring in a guy and seat him at a table next to mine and facing me. He was tall and good looking in a bad boy sort of way. He was dressed in pleated front tan slacks and a knit red pullover. I paused for a moment before the waitress brought me back to reality.
The waitress left and I busied myself squeezing the lemon wedge into my coke. No matter how I try those wedges are not designed to put juice where you want it. I'd just finished and picked up the straw to remove its covering when I heard a sound and looked up. The guy was standing in front of me. When I said "yes?" he asked if he could have dinner with me. I told him that I was married and eating alone. He looked sad and apologized and said something about just needing a little company for dinner and he was sorry he'd bothered me.
As he turned to go, I felt sorry for being so short with him and asked him to go ahead and sit down. He'd already taken two steps back to his table when he understood what I'd said. He turned with a million dollar smile and asked if I really meant it. I did now and told him. He pulled out the chair opposite me and sat down.
He introduced himself with just his first name and then told me that he was traveling by himself and returning home. I asked him where home was and he answered. My mouth must have dropped open because he was three hundred miles from home and lived only sixty miles from where I live. He asked what was wrong but I declined to tell him.
We talked for almost thirty minutes after he'd ordered, before dinner finally came. He was a nice guy and sexy. I loved the look of his body and I loved his smile and easy method of talking. We hit it off. Dinner was good, but I kept thinking all the time how I wished that I'd ordered something smaller. He ate quickly and was finished before I was. The waitress asked if we wanted dessert and I declined, but he smiled and ordered berry pie ala mode... my favorite.
When his dessert arrived, I'd just finished dinner. I told him how delicious it looked and he insisted that I try some before he cut into it. I refused, but he cut a piece and held the fork to my lips. I smiled and on that same earlier whim I took the bite. It was really delicious. Hot Blackberry pie with cold French vanilla ice cream and my soul wanted to change my order.
Ice cream dribbled down my chin and he took his napkin and caught it before it dripped onto my blouse. The corner of the napkin fell into my cleavage and as he pulled the napkin away it snagged on my blouse and pulled another button free. Much of my left breast was showing as I hurriedly re-buttoned it. His eyes didn't leave even after the button was fastened. I felt a bit embarrassed, but secretly I felt attractive.
He apologized but still he was looking... I hadn't felt this way since I first met my husband. I could feel myself getting wet and I enjoyed it. I told him that I understood and that accidents do happen and smiled back. His hands went to his lap and lingered for a moment before straightening the napkin there. Now I was convinced that he was turned on by what he'd seen.
After dinner, he wanted to pay for my check but I couldn't do that. As we headed for the door he walked ahead of me and opened the door. I like good manners... and I'm not a strict feminist.
He asked where my car was and I was hesitant to say but he seemed so sincere that I pointed at it. He smiled and said that his was the second one down. I looked and it was a beautiful black van with a yellow lightning bolt along each side. I laughed and he said that it was on there when he bought it on the car lot. I told him how nice it was and he smiled again. Oh my!
When we got to my car he thanked me again and asked why my husband hadn't come to dinner, too. I don't know why, but I found myself telling him that I was here only for a few days and that my husband was still at home. I also told him that he really only lived a few miles from where I did... I hadn't told him before.
