1st update in awhile. Lets see how it goes.
As Joe drove to his vacation cabin he changed the radio and heard a song that made him recall the last fight he had with his ex-wife Nora. It was a bitter fight that dragged on two days and was the downfall of their marriage. They still loved each other dearly, but she just seemed more interested in her job and making money than spending time with their family. She got a promotion that came with long hours and constant travel which made family time nonexistent.
Not to think negative of his ex, Joe changed the station and then remembered that his ex-wife Nora was one of the best people in the world and he felt even with a divorce they still had a bond together. Even though they were not together as a married couple, they were together when it came to them raising their daughter Jenn.
He knew she did not date as no man would put up with her schedule and the number of hours she put in at work. If she did happen to find a man, then Joe knew he would be happy for her. Joe felt that things would have been different if they wanted the same things out of their careers too. He loved time off while she could not sit still. She brought home more than double his earnings,but he didn't care.
It was odd that they still vacationed together, but Joe loved spending time with his daughter and Nora when she was able to be away from her job. They were not man and wife, and yet still spent time together as a normal family. With Nora's hectic life, she still put time away for a week every year at the same time Joe had off. It was one of the strange things people talked about, but he liked that they still were in each other's lives and that he could help her out when she was away. Caring for their Jenn was their primary concern and Joe made sure he was there as a parent when Nora was advancing her career.
Joe loved that his ex Nora was able to agree with him on almost everything as if they had the same goals all the time. It was five years since the divorce and Joe knew the terms were strange to some, as no lawyers were used since they were able to work everything out themselves. Even the judge asked if they really wanted to get divorced as the conditions seemed odd to him and that they agreed upon everything during the proceedings. Even the friends they made while married found it strange that Joe and Nora were still friends and were able to get together as friends.
There were no arguments about who gets what or how child care was to be handled. It was the most amicable split the judge heard of as he slammed the gavel granting the divorce. Joe got to keep his family property while he gave up his other house so Nora and their child could live there. He was always available for child care when she was busy and never once complained or did anything but talk about his wife in a positive way.
The family house and the property that was handed down to Joe by his parents started as a small cabin when his grandfather bought it generations ago. It was just a cabin in the woods surrounded by woods, and now it resided close to a resort. The value of the property skyrocketed and the offers to sell some of the land came in every year. Joe's father sunk money into it and Joe did the same when his parents gave it to him. What started as a one bedroom cabin now became a five bedroom dream house that everyone wanted to stay at. Instead of moving there, Joe just rented it out to make it a money maker.
Not to let the rental go to waste as just a rental, Joe made sure that the house was his to use for two weeks during the Fall. Nora loved staying there and Joe was not going to miss out extra time with his daughter. Joe promised Nora that she could still stay for a week during the time that he allotted for his personal use. Joe even mentioned that she could still use it if she got remarried too although her crazy schedule made that unlikely.
Showing up on Nora's week was something he liked to do as it gave him some extra time with his daughter. He would then stay for his week right after that getting two weeks in. Nora sometimes stayed for his week too when she could as he felt it was all but fair. He knew it was strange, but it worked and that's what he wanted.

Joe pulled up to the cabin noticing another minivan parked alongside Nora's. He immediately recognized it as Gia and Dev's vehicle. They were family friends that enjoyed getting together for vacations with them as their twin girls were the same age as his daughter. They were one of the few friends that did not choose sides and were eager to stay friends with both of them even though there was a divorce. They also did not care about the vacation arrangement as they just liked to tag along too.
Both Gia and and Dev were Indian, but Gia was born in Georgia while Dev immigrated from India. His accent was not thick, but it was noticeable. Gia, she had no accent at all and was far more westernized than her husband. She even joked she was being bad when eating hamburgers when they went out. While he was not super religious, he still thought of himself as more Indian than she was.
Gia did confess that there was infidelity in their marriage, and that Dev was the one. Joe joked about women to Dev all the time, but he always took it to a new level. Although he was not cruising the streets looking for prostitutes, he was flirting with girls online consistently. Joe knew of five different girls Dev was chatting with online and he figured there had to be some physical contact between one or more of them. Dev was also open to him about how Gia cut him off from sex all together because of what he was doing. Nora did mention to him that behind closed doors they fought like cats and dogs about the lack of sex between them.
Gia told Nora long ago that she and Dev were kind of locked in together. Their families had business ties together and Gia's family all but threatened to cut her off if she did divorce. Joe knew that it was a strange situation like theirs and he was simply happy the two of them still wanted to remain friends with him and his ex after the divorce.
He stepped in to listen to kids playing and Nora calling out for him from the kitchen. He walked in to see Gia smiling at him and his ex-wife doing the same. Gia had a light brown complexion that was almost a light bronze and it contrasted with her white loose fitting blouse she was wearing. Her jet black hair used to be longer but now it was the length of shoulder blades and was pin straight too. She stood only five feet and one inch tall and had curves that a normal mother would have. Joe loved that she had some meat on her ass, and it wasn't flat while also loving that her hips had curves too. It was her breasts that seemed unreal though and at probably an E cup they seemed to defy nature with her petite frame.
With a few hugs and kisses he was sitting down listening to how Gia needed time alone for the week and was not going to stay the full week. Nora made some drinks for her and Gia as they talked too. He looked over and saw that these drinks were not the first either as the large bottle of Vodka was half empty.
Joe nodded and then got up to leave so the girls could talk and he could bring his bags into his own private room. Joe was careful not to make comments about Gia in front of Nora for out of fear that it would ruin their relationship. Even in divorce, Joe tempered his comments and jokes about their friends and others out of fear that it would change their relationship. He knew that sex and body image was a sensitive subject with her, and he changed his ways long ago as it was the right thing to do.
With his shorts on and the hot tub empty, he made his way towards it. Walking past Gia and Nora he looked again as he announced where he was going to be. Once in the warm water he let his mind go of what Gia was wearing and how she looked. It was always a sure fire way to get an erection too, and with the jets going in the hot tub he could conceal it.
The jets beat against his body, relaxing him to the point of tuning the world out. The view of the mountains was unobstructed by anything else on a nice clear day brought a sense of tranquility as the warm water jetted against his body, relaxing him almost to a sleep like state. His thoughts went from imagining Gia nude to what his work life was going to be in two weeks.
He woke suddenly as he saw Nora looking at him holding a red mixed drink in front of him. "Joe...Joe! Here, I made you a drink."
As he took the drink he nodded. "Ohhh, shit. That you babe."
Even though they were not together as a couple he still used pet names for her as she did the same. He still conveyed his problems to her as she did the same. He liked that she was not shy about calling him to change a tire or fix something that broke in her house.
As Gia walked out his eyes instantly went to her. She had her one-piece swimsuit on that covered everything, but her large chest could not be hidden no matter what she put on. It was modest by all accounts, but the suit could not contain the round edges and frontal curve of what she was endowed with. His eyes looked and then moved away as to not to be caught staring at her large globes that hung so perfectly on her chest.
