I was exercising after a hard night of drinking with my buddies. It was our annual trip to the music festival and we had arrived at our campsite about noon the day before. After a few hours of setting up, we ate dinner and started partying hard. Me and my buddy Sean drank till about four in the morning. The sun woke me about 8 and now I was trying to sweat out the alcohol from the night before. Dan and Al had already woken up and gone down the hill for breakfast. Brad, Sean and Jack were still sleeping.
I've been awake for about 30 minutes and was doing my morning routine when I saw a small car pull up the hill and into the camping site next to ours. I watched as the door opened and a girl got out of her car. I remembered her from last year, but couldn't remember her name. She got out of her car and gave a big stretch. From where I was stretching, I was able to check her out pretty thoroughly. Average height with a lean, athletic body. Her hair was longer than it was last year. I remember talking with her last year and finding out she was actually 27. I thought she was about 20. She still looked good.
She finally ended her stretch and looked around. She stopped when she noticed me doing my stretches and started to walk over. I got to really watch her as she walked towards me. Her outfit was one that you saw in yoga class, and boy did it show off her body . Her body was still athletic, but her tits were a bit bigger than I remembered. Her green eyes were sparkling and she wore a small smile. I switched to another position and greeted her with a lame, "hey, how's it going?."
Her response was an equally lame, "Good." "I remember you from last year, but I don't remember your name. Are you here with the same guys as last year?"
"Yeah," I replied. "And it's ok that you don't remember my name because I don't remember yours either. I'm John."
"Kaitlyn," she replied.
"Ah, right. I'm so bad with names, but I remembered the face. So how was school?"
She smiled at that. "It's been a good year. Thanks for the advice you gave me. I listened to what you said and read all I could on the sports page. It really helped me get comfortable fast."
I just smiled back and flowed into my next move.
"So, I see you're doing some yoga. Is that normal for you or are you just trying to show off?"
I chuckled at that. "No, it's my normal routine. I'm not sure if you remember, or if you even knew, but I had back surgery about 2 months before last years show and part of my PT was a lot of stretching. Once I got done with PT, I took up yoga. It's been great and I've gotten into the habit of doing it every day. I just figured, I might as well do it up here.
"Well, do you mind if I join you? Three hours in the car and I could use a good stretch. I'll even let you lead."
"No go right ahead." Besides, I thought to myself, who am I to say no to a hot bodied chick stretching five feet away from me. She got into position and we continued to stretch for the next 30 minutes. I've got to admit, it got really difficult after a while. Her body was amazingly fit and when we did some of the stretches, her ass was looking good enough to make me pop. When we finished with the yoga, I continued on with the rest of my workout. At least as much as I could do without my equipment. By this time, Dan and Al had returned and Jack and Brad had emerged from their tents. I thought Jack was going to fall over dead when he spotted Katilyn doing downward dog.
I told her I'd help her set up if she'd like once I was done and she thanked me and walked over to her car. The guys came over and started asking all kinds of questions that I just brushed off. I finished my workout and went over to help Kaitlyn. Jack and Brad came with me and we had her set up real quick. Jack and Brad stayed with Kaitlyn while I went over to my stuff and grabbed my toiletries and started off to the shower. I heard my name called and turned to see Kaitlyn running after me.
"Hey, mind if I join you? I saw you're heading to the showers and thought I'd walk down with you."
I said, "Not at all. You can scrub my back and I'll take care of yours." She smiled at that. "I think I can handle myself, thanks. But maybe I'll take you up on that another time." She winked and we headed down to the shower.
"So, what's the deal with Jack? Isn't he married?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?." I was hoping it wasn't because she was interested.
"He's kind of creepy. When we all left last year, he gave me his cell and asked for mine. I just gave it to him thinking there was no way he'd call. I didn't even get home and I already had a message and a text from him. He called me a few more times and than I guess finally got the hint. Than, just now he asked what my problem was and I just told him he I wasn't interested. He's probably pissed now."
"Well, I wouldn't worry about him. He's pretty harmless.," I replied. I didn't want to get in the middle of something like this and I wasn't about to talk bad about him. "If he bothers you, just let me know and I'll handle it."
"Aren't all of you guys married?"
"Everyone but me. I seperated from my wife about six months ago."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't mean to pry, but I think it's kind of weird that a married guy would hit on me when all of his buddies are right there. Isn't he afraid one of you will rat him out?."
I didn't want to say anything bad, but it sure wasn't the first time Jack had pulled something like that. It put a strain on the whole group when he did that. But to each his own and who am I to preach to anyone.
All I said was "I wouldn't take him very serious. But maybe a smackdown would be good for him. I think you can handle that." She just chuckled at that. We'd arrived at the showers. "Are you sure you don't need me to wash your back?" I just smiled and headed for the guys showers.
"I've only been here an hour. Let me get to know you better." I turned towards here and she turned towards the shower. She looked over her shoulder and just winked at me.
If it wasn't a public shower, I may have stroked one off, but knew it wasn't private enough. I showered quick, brushed my teeth and headed back outside. I thought about waiting a few minutes and just as I was about to walk away, Kaitlyn stepped out. She was wearing a small tank top and short shorts. I almost headed back to the shower to take a cold one, but managed to walk back to our sites in one piece.
"So, why are you seperated?," she asked as we started walking back.
I didn't say anything for a bit. It had been a terrible couple of years for me and I wasn't sure I wanted to talk about it with someone I didn't really know. "We had gone away for a vacation without our kids and realized that we had nothing in common. I had been trying to make things work for a long time and just decided that if a week together didn't work, than nothing would."
She stopped walking and just stared at me for a while. "So, you didn't have an affair or anything like that?"
"No. I just realized I was only going to be happy if she wasn't directly in my life. And I was right. I'm a better father and person without her."
"Do you think you'll get back together?," Kaitlyn asked.
"No. Ask the guys. They'll tell you that I'm better without her. I'm more laid back and just enjoy everything so much better."
Kaitlyn didn't respond, just started walking. After a few minutes she finally said something. I could have really hurt myself. "So, do you think I can hang with you? You know, to keep Jack at bay? Maybe if you're real nice, I can wash your back for you."
I tripped over a root that wasn't there and Kaitlyn just laughed. Back at the site, everyone was finally moving around and a couple more cars were around. Kaitlyn's friends arrived and were setting up, and at the other site next to mine, some of our other neighbors were setting up. Dan and Al had already headed to the show. Jack saw me and walked right over. "So, getting friendly with Kaitlyn?"
"Dude, get a life." And I just walked away.
About an hour later, we were all packed and ready to head to the show. Kaitlyn came over and asked for my cell number so she could call me when she and her friends got there. We exchanged numbers and I headed out. Jack tried to get it from me and all I said was to leave it be. Jack stewed about that and we all started to give him a hard time. Once at the show, we set up at the main stage and all headed in different directions to catch shows we were interested in.
