New Beginning, Familiar Finish
This is the seventh of "The Pru Chronicles." Although much of the story is embellished, some more liberally than others, there is an element of truth woven throughout. Only one of the Chronicles is fully fiction, and one other is based on very real conversations that were leading to the events described but stopped short. Otherwise, yeah, some of this is true...
Pru is a beautiful, vivacious, blue-eyed, blonde with the athletic body of a dancer. She is 25 years old and married four years when this chapter begins. She and her husband, Sean, have left military life, moving home to start his civilian career. Pru went out with a bang - or several bangs - in leaving behind her sexual adventurism in "Ch. 06 Farewells." She saw this move as her chance to embrace maturity and normalcy and renew her commitment to being a "good girl" and wife. It worked for a few years, before old habits crept back in, as they so often do.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Pru and Sean were back in their hometown. He jumped into his new career, and she settled into suburban wifedom, eager to leave some of her last four years behind her and go forward projecting the June Cleaver, wholesome-wife image that her mother had raised her to project.
Over the next several years, their relationship and sex life muddled along. There were occasional flare ups when Sean would bring up something about Chris or Barry, things that still nagged at him in the back of his mind, things he wanted Pru to "come clean" about to give him peace. Those conversations became more intense in their first year back home, after Sean found a love letter from Chris in the trash can. Even then the conversation ended in a loud argument, Pru furiously saying, "I can't believe it's this again! We were friends! I thought we were adult enough to have our own friends. When are you going to just trust me when I tell you that nothing happened?!"
Sean's final statement was always, "When are you just going to admit what I already know? Just say it!"
Those heated arguments aside, Pru considered her break from the past a success. She hadn't had any "relapses," and her sex-life with Sean must have been doing something right, because they managed to have two daughters over the next three years, both undeniably Sean's.
After her youngest daughter was born, Pru met some neighborhood moms with similar aged kids. It didn't take long for them to organize group play dates, giving the youngsters and their moms an instant friend group. Pru hit it off with one mom in particular, Meg, and the two quickly became best friends. That friendship naturally expanded to include their husbands, and the two families became close.
After their first dinner together at Pru and Sean's house, Sean mentioned to Pru, "Man, Mike sure looks like Tom Selleck, doesn't he? And Meg, I like her, but...well, she's got a nice ass on her, but she's not the super model you'd expect Tom Selleck to be married to, is she?"
Pru thought about it and answered, "Oh, I guess I see that, but I think Meg's cuter than you make her sound." Sean shrugged and forgot about it.
Truthfully, Pru and Meg had already had the conversation about Mike's looks. He was 5'11", fit like a runner, and tanned from his job as a construction supervisor. To round out the look, he did have Tom Selleck's mustache and blue eyes. Pru warned her friend to watch out for the other moms who couldn't take their eyes off him when he was around. Meg, on the other hand, was almost petite at 5'3." She was moderately curved for her size, with breasts between B and C cups, and a firm, round ass. She had mousy hair and pale, white skin, and often wore thick glasses instead of contact lenses, giving her an old maid look. And Meg knew it. More importantly, she knew that she didn't look like the woman who would be Mike's eye-candy. That wasn't what kept him at home, and she knew very well how to use what did.
Sean came home after one of Pru and Meg's afternoons together, and she gushed, "You won't believe what Meg told me today. Just to make sure he doesn't lose interest or look around, she meets him at the back door some mornings when he's on his way to work and gives him a blow job right there in the kitchen! Can you believe it?!"
He shrugged and sighed, "Must be nice. Good for Mike, anyway. I hope she swallows! Is this something you'd like to experiment with by any chance?"
"Yeah, yeah. I knew I shouldn't have told that story," and Pru went back to cooking dinner.
The next several years found the two families spending more and more time together over dinner and wine, sometimes just wine, and the occasional joint family vacation. In time, they were good enough friends that it wasn't unusual for the foursome to talk about sex, Sean and Mike frequently joking about threesomes and swapping. Pru and Meg typically rolled their eyes, but if they'd had enough to drink, they'd giggle about teaming up on "Tom Selleck."
After one such dinner at Pru and Sean's, Meg and Mike loaded their sleeping kids into their car for the short ride home. Meg hugged Sean and Pru, and Sean and Mike shook hands and did the "manly" half-hug. Mike smiled as he hugged Pru a little more tightly than usual. They'd all been friends long enough that she didn't think a thing of it when he gave her a quick peck on the lips. Still smiling, he said "Tom Selleck's ready when you are, Pru."
Pru blushed and laughed. She and Sean went in the house as Mike and Meg drove away, no one mentioning the kiss. From then on, though, whenever greeting each other or saying goodbye, Pru and Mike kissed on the lips.
Months went by with the same routine, including the frequent conversations about sex, and Pru and Mike friend-kissing. After dinner one night, the four parents sat on chairs on the driveway, drinking beer, joking around, and watching the kids ride bikes around the cul-de-sac. Mike's middle son rode up and listened while the two dads compared notes about the hottest moms in the play group. Wanting to join in with the big guys, the five-year-old said, "My dad says Miss Pru has nice racks!"
Meg's eyes went wide, as Mike pushed the boy away, laughing, "Hey now, that's not exactly what I said."
Cupping her braless breasts through her T-shirt, Pru mocked confusion, "What? These little things?"
