It had been a really long month. Everything in life had been going great, practically perfect, until the day she had come home early and found her live-in boyfriend in bed with another woman. In her bed, with another woman.
Sulking on the couch in her new apartment Stacey thought back to that fateful day and was surprised everyone had made it out of the room alive with how livid she had been. Her blood had been hot then, but along with her heart it had quickly turned cold as the young woman found herself all alone in the world with nothing but a pang in her chest and a never ending supply of ice cream in the freezer.
Lounging out in several-days-worn sweat pants and a baggy t-shirt wasn't going to solve anything though, and enough time had been wasted on having a pity party so Stacey decided right then and there that she would get off her butt and do something about bettering her currently miserable life. Thinking over her options the slim girl remembered a cabin her aunt and uncle owned only a few hours away that her family had used to visit when she was a kid. Shooting a quick text to her mom confirmed the cabin was still in her family's possession and a slightly longer phone call with her Aunt Susan secured her weekend plans, setting her up for the perfect escape from her current city of sadness.
I just need to get away from this empty place, the lonely female thought as she looked around the room at the various things she had used to share with Ted with a sad heart, so going away to a secluded cabin with none of these memories will be perfect. Just take the weekend and reset.
When the end of the seemingly endless week finally came Stacey found herself sitting in her car, a duffle bag full of her clothes sitting on the seat next to her. Pulling out of her parking spot in her complex's lot she could already feel the stress start to slip away with every mile she placed between her and the city she felt trapped in, the muscles she hadn't even realized were wound so tightly slowly loosening the further she drove away. Rolling the windows down the wind whipped her shoulder length hair back and forth, causing quite a mess - to which not a single ounce of care was given; freedom at it's finest.
The three hour drive seemed to just disappear into a combination of belting out songs mixed in with the occasional sob or even flat out screaming whenever the reason for her need to escape resurfaced in the troubled woman's mind. Most of the wider range of emotions had seemed to be depleted however by the time her older sedan pulled off onto the county road that led to her relative's vacation home, leaving the young female in a more stable mood by the time she closed in on her destination. Turning the corner onto the less than stellar road her car suddenly vibrated heavily, jarring the young woman in her seat before settling down back into a normal combustion pattern and trudging along.
Heart beating a little quicker from the near stall the startled female was suddenly reminded about a time not all that long ago where her car had broken down on her way to the airport to pick up her then boyfriend Ted. Just thinking about that night made the young woman shiver, yet it wasn't a shiver of fear from her auto troubles: no, it was something she hadn't felt in what was considered way too long at this point- the feeling of being turned on, of being aroused.
I still can't believe that night actually happened, Stacey thought as her car pulled into the narrow dirt road that led to the cabin. I don't know what the hell came over me to cause me to act that way.
Regardless of how irrational and crazy it was to think that she had gotten completely naked in front of a stranger and pressed her slim exposed body against said person, Stacey couldn't deny that she had enjoyed that night tremendously. Nothing like that had even remotely crossed her mind since it happened and with all that had been going on recently the memory had faded away until just a few moments ago, but now it all came back with a rush. As embarrassing as it was to think about what she had done now that she was clear headed and not a complete horn-ball, the fact was the young woman wouldn't do it any other way if she had a chance to repeat that encounter again as it was an experience she would never forget, and really no harm or lasting impact had come out of it. Not that she was actually planning on doing anything like that ever again of course as it was a once in a lifetime type of deal, but it would be a memory she would have forever and could always look back fondly on the way the tow-truck driver's eyes had lit up at seeing the various exposed parts of her lithe body throughout their drive together.
