This continues the story of Rhonda, the curvy mature who met her true love late in life.
Two years after we became a couple, Tim asked me to marry him, saying he wanted me to get life insurance, and part of his pension, if something happened to him. I readily agreed, and we were married by a judge, and took a short honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls. The next 3 years were some of the happiest of my life. Tim was a good husband, good provider, and as I've told, a great lover. We had sex often, in a variety of places and positions. He never asked to do me in my ass, although I would have let him, but we explored many other fun things together. All that ended when he was killed in an accident at work. The days after were a blur, I was numb, but the night after the funeral, I cried and cried, for hours. I was devastated, I had loved him like no other man, and now he was gone. My employer gave me a week off, with pay, and that helped, but it felt like I was in a constant daze for several weeks. Time is a healer, and I'm a pretty strong lady, and as the months passed I came to grips with what had happened. I missed him, but decided I wanted to be happy for the time we had together, and get on with my life. Tim would have wanted me to do that.
A little over a year later found me still at work at the insurance company. I still worked the front desk, along with another girl, Sally. We had become good friends. Sally was, to be blunt, crude as hell, but I found her hilarious, so we got along great. She is a bigger gal, like me, but wears clothes that show off her curves. It was late in the afternoon, in the heat of the summer, when a customer came in. His name was Jaso, and he was from a small country in West Africa. He and several dozen of his people had come to the US to work at a factory in a small town 30 miles away. Housing there was scarce, so a majority had bought homes or found rentals in our community. Jaso was one of those who commuted, and was a good customer, always polite and paying on time, and often sending friends and relatives to our company. I liked his happy personality, and his voice with it's lilting accent. He always greeted us with a big hello and an even bigger smile. He wasn't a big man, less than six feet tall, but he was lean and muscular. In his mid 40s, his hair was showing the first hints of gray. He was a good looking man.
Today, he swept in the front door with his usual greeting. "Hello Hello, how are you to-day?" I looked up, smiling at his boisterous entrance.
"Hi Jaso. I'm fine. How are you?"
"Yes, yes, I am very good, thank you. I want to pay my bill, please." I got up from my desk, and walked up to the counter. I bent over to get a payment from under the counter. When I stood up, his eyes were gleaming. He blinked, and gave me a huge smile.
"There you go, you're paid up for another two months." I said after counting out his change, and having him sign the receipt.
"Very good, very good, thank you. You are a very nice lady, thank you."
"Aw, thank you. You're very nice too." When I said that, he smiled even bigger. For a second, his eyes darted to my chest, then just as fast looked back up at me.
Oh, yes, thank you very much. You are very nice." With that, he gave me a nod of the head, and left. "Goodbye, goodbye." he yelled over his shoulder as he went through the door.
"He cracks me up." I laughed to Sally. "I wish all out customers were that cheerful."
"Yeah, he is that." she agreed. "He was also checking you out." I whirled around and looked at her.
"What?"
"You heard me, he was checking you out. When you bent over at the counter, I saw him lean over and look down, must have looking down your shirt, his eyes got big as saucers." Then she gave a big cackling laugh. Like I said, Sally's comments don't bother me, but I had to give it right back.
"You're nuts. he was probably looking at you." Sally was showing a generous amount of cleavage today.
"No honey, he didn't so much as look at me. All he could see was those girls of yours." Then she threw her head back and laughed again.
"You are so full of it." I said, acting offended. She finally composed herself, and gave me a mock serious look.
"Rhonda, it's true, when you bend over, you can see damn near everything. And he was looking too, so don't tel me I'm full of it." She sat back in her chair with a smug expression.
"Well, so what if he did?" I was laughing at our argument, but at the same time, I was thinking, I had caught Jaso looking at my boobs. But, again, so what?
Later, when I was at home, I had a thought. Walking to the bedroom with my phone, I stood back from the full-length mirror, bent over, held the phone out over my head, and took a picture. I had to do it a couple of times to get the right angle, but when I did, I was kinda shocked. When I bent over, my loose fitting top hung down away from my body. At the same time, my boobs swung down and out from my chest, hanging straight down. My bra was for comfort, not stays or wires, so it went wherever my boobs went. My top also had a scoop neck, so the end result was, Sally was right, I could see nearly all my pendulous boobs. I thought about Jaso staring at them, and got a little bit of a tingle. Shaking my head, I shoved that thought to the back of my mind, and deleted the pictures. The next morning, I decided I didn't care, and dressed the way I always did. My bosses had never said anything, neither did HR, so I wasn't going to worry about it. Besides, Sally gave them a lot more to drool over, with her push-up bras and gaudy tights.
A week later, I stopped for groceries after work, and came home to find a truck and cargo trailer next door. The place had been for sale for a while. Hope they aren't dirty or loud, I thought as I walked into my house. When I walked out a few minutes later to get the mail, I was surprised to see Jaso carrying a cardboard box into the house. He saw me, sat down the box, and came hustling over, waving at me. He was shirtless, wearing only a pair of sweatpants and sneakers. I gave a tiny gasp, he was very muscular and chiseled, dark brown skin shiny with perspiration. I couldn't help myself, had to look, and a quick glance confirmed he had a sizable bulge inside his sweats.
"Hello Hello. I am renting this house. I am your neighbor." He grabbed my hand and shook it, giving me a huge smile.
"I see that. Welcome to the neighborhood. Now, don't forget to come to the office and change your address."
"Oh yes, I must do that. Can you do that for me, nice lady?" The way he said it made me laugh.
"Of course, but only because you're so nice. Your house number is 127, right?" he looked confused,then laughed and broke out in an other big grin.
"Oh, yes yes, that is the number, yes. And yes, I am nice to you also." He continued to hold my hand, and for the first time, I paid attention to his face. Dark skin as I have said, close cut nappy hair with flecks of gray, mostly smooth skin with a few small pockmarks, a nice mustache, broad nose, and full lips. His sweat pants rode low on his hips, low enough that in front the top of his pubic patch was peeking out. He was a very good looking man, and very sexy too!
