Prologue
This is the story of Anita and I. The title may appear to be misleading at first, but the "breaking in" will make sense if you could bear with me until Chapter 3. As you will see, the story has its own twists and turns, and will take on its own life, as real stories often do. If some occurrences seem to be implausible, or even disjointed, it is because people are unpredictable. Here I include myself. I won't spoil it for you by giving too much away now, but rather tell it as I remember it.
Chapter 1
Anita and I: First date, followed by second date
Anita is a friend of my youngest sister, Mandy. I knew about Anita even before meeting her from my very talkative sister telling us about her recently divorced friend, and how she could not understand how any man could leave such a gorgeous girl. Apparently, Anita was a fairly good short distance athlete at school, and had done some photo modelling as well. Shortly after leaving school, she fell pregnant by her long-time boyfriend, and married him. The marriage did not last two years, and when I met her, she was a 22-year-old divorcee with a one-year-old son.
As I was driving home from work one afternoon, I saw my sister Mandy and another girl walking on the footpath alongside the street. As luck would have it, there was an open parking spot, and I pulled over to say hello and to ask whether I could give them a lift somewhere. Mandy introduced me to her friend Anita, and I was stunned: she was everything I heard about and more - a little taller than your average girl, with curly shoulder length brown hair, and an olive skin like an islander. She had dark brown eyes, accentuated by a little mascara, dark natural eyebrows, and full lips surrounding a set of pearly whites that she flashed at me in a wide smile. I gave her a "nice to meet you" handshake, and found out that they had just finished their shopping, and were almost at the parking lot where my sister had left her car.
Although I was in a long-term relationship at the time, I've always had an eye for a beautiful girl and my eyes were drawn to Anita's body as much as her face: she had on a simple white blouse with exposed shoulders, and a pair of long legs in figure hugging jeans ending just below her calves. Although she was tall and slender, she appeared to have a full set of breasts, with a narrow waist. Her jeans were tight enough that I could discern a pair of well-shaped long legs underneath. Certainly a sight for sore eyes!
Having ascertained that they did not need my assistance, I took my leave, and received another brilliant "thank you" smile from Anita. On my way back to my car, I could not help but turn around to sneak a peek at her butt, and was not disappointed: Anita's jeans could not hide a pair of pert buttocks below her narrow waist.
It must have been a week or two afterwards when I next saw my sister at a family lunch. My then-girlfriend was there, but my Mandy managed to draw me aside in the kitchen to tell me in a hushed voice (knowing that my girlfriend was extremely jealous) that Anita was "very interested" to get to know me better, and that she would not mind at all if I ever gave her a call. Knowing Amy, I was sure that she would have told Anita everything about me and my current relationship, and that she would have emphasized the fact that I was working at a legal firm in the city, and was bound to become a partner, as I was the favorite lawyer of our biggest client, one of the largest mining conglomerates in the country. Anyway, I felt flattered that such a beautiful young woman would be interested in me, nearing my thirties, but as I said, I was in a serious relationship at the time, and did not give it much thought.
About six months later, my relationship of two years came to an abrupt end, and I suddenly found myself single again. Having had to deal with a jealous girlfriend for so long, I was really not interested in getting into another relationship, and for the next few weeks, I enjoyed getting back into the bachelor's life, working hard at my legal practice during the day, drinking and socializing with friends after hours, and surfing on weekends. I said that I did not give Anita much thought, but she must have floated on the edge of my consciousness, because when I needed a date, she was the first name that sprung to mind.
Our firm has long been a sponsor of a child care charity, and when Tania, my secretary, told me some months ago that there were tickets available for an upcoming fashion show, I automatically told her that I would take two, not knowing that I would be without a girlfriend by the time the fashion show happened.
Anyway, late on Thursday afternoon, and just before she left for the day, Tania reminded me about the charity fashion show on the Saturday evening. It was to be a formal evening, and the picture of Anita's lithe figure in jeans sprung to mind. I tried to imagine what she would look like in formal attire, and whilst I was fantasizing, I phoned my sister to get Anita's number. Mandy did not sound surprised at all, and assured me that although there were a couple of guys chasing her, Anita was still very much unattached.
