This is story #32 of my series about my post-marital sexual journey. Read the first story (Babysitter Lauren) or my profile, for any background needed. You may see references to prior stories/people, but for the most part each story stands on its own.
Not everyone likes me or my stories. That's OK.
I enjoy all comments.

Tina
I am a "morning person" when it comes to self-care. In other words, when I masturbate, it is almost always first thing in the morning.
All of the local television stations that service my area employ a number of very attractive women on their morning shows -- anchors, weather folks and traffic reporters. Just about every female working the local news is very attractive in her own way.
One weather reporter in particular always intrigued me. She wasn't the hottest of the local talent, but something about her grabbed my attention. Tina was her name, and she was a perky, happy thing all the time. She dressed very conservatively, not a hint of cleavage. On those rare occasions when you saw a full body shot of her, you could tell she had a great hourglass figure.
I had guessed her to be in her mid-thirties at the time I first noticed her, about five or six years prior to the events of this story, which was probably when I was around 44 or so ( at the time of this story I was 49). I looked on line to find out more about her, but there was no social media at all, just the station's website and Facebook page with her various weather reports. Nothing about her personally.
She wore a wedding ring, and in my mind, she was a perfect little mom and housewife, probably getting up at 4 am to get ready for work, and being home by nine am or so to care for the house, do the grocery shopping and iron her husband's shirts, care for the kids after school, put on an apron and make dinner, help the kids with homework. All very 1950's ish in my mind.
Sexually, I imagined her very submissive, also consistent with the 1950s - does what she's told and never complains, lays on her back and says a Hail Mary.
Tina's station was headquartered about thirty minutes from where I lived, but as these folks often do, they travel to various locations within the viewing area for street fairs, concerts and the like. They are local celebrities, however minor, and they appear at these things on occasion.
I happened to be at a St. Patrick's Day parade in another small city near where I live. It was held on a Saturday morning, and afterwards I went to a crowded bar with a buddy for some post-parade beverages. The place was packed and loud, and I started to wonder if I was too old for this shit.
After one beer, my buddy got a call from his wife about something, so he had to leave. I didn't want to go home yet, but I was done with the loud bar scene, so I walked down to a swanky wine bar for a little quiet. There were a few more people there than usual due to the parade, but all in all it was a much calmer scene than the other Irish bars and townie watering holes along the downtown strip.
I ordered a Manhattan and focused on one of the March Madness games on the TV, and soon felt a presence in the empty seat next to me, and heard a female voice order "just a water."
The voice sounded very familiar, so I glanced over and was thrilled to see that it was none other than Tina, the Channel 10 morning weather chick. I thought for a second and figured I might have blown a load as I watched her forecast earlier in the week, so I kept that in mind as I glanced over at her.
She was very sexy in person, even more intriguing than on TV. A very exotic-type of look. Not a classic beauty, but something very catching about her.
I had to play this right. I was sure that playing the "fan boy" would get nowhere, so I had to pretend that I had no idea who she was. I viewed that as my best shot. She was dressed pretty nicely, so I assumed that she was doing a live remote for the parade.
I leaned toward her and said, "You don't look like you were here to watch the parade?"
She looked at me suspiciously, and responded, "Yes and no."
"Interesting answer," I said. "The kind of answer that suggests you don't want to talk about it, but also the kind of answer that makes me want to dig deeper. So, I'm in a bit of a pickle here."
She smiled politely, and said, "Well, yes, I was here for the parade, but no, I wasn't here as a spectator."
"Oh," I continued. "So, you were IN the parade then, maybe like the grand poobah or whatever they call the leader of parades."
"The grand marshal!" she laughed.
I was slowly disarming her already.
"No, I wasn't the grand marshal. I'm working, or I was working."
"Well then, let me buy you a drink since you're now off work. What would you like?"
"What do you have?" she inquired.
"Manhattan," I answered. "It's delicious."
"God I'd love to, but I better stick with water."
"How come?" I asked. "You driving?"
"No, my cameraman is driving. But my husband wouldn't take well to me coming home from work and having booze on my breath."
"Cameraman?!?! Ok, so now we are gettin' somewhere. I might be a little slow, but I'm gonna guess reporter."
"Well done, Sherlock," she joked. "I guess you don't watch the news."
"Nah, no news is good news, as they say. I only watch sports. Oh, and porn."
Tina did a mock spit take, and said, "You mean together? Is that like an Olympic event now?"
She was good. Quick wit, and with a bawdy sense of humor. Unlike the image I'd assumed from TV.
Usually when the news anchors or traffic people tried to engage Tina in a personal conversation on air, she deflected to discuss only the weather.
For example, if they mentioned the local minor league baseball team winning, they might ask, did you and your family see the game, Tina?" and she'd answer something like, "Well it was perfect weather for it." She never mentioned a husband or kids, nothing personal whatsoever.
I responded, "If only. I'd look like Michael Phelps on the medal stand."
She laughed again, blushing slightly, and said, "Wow, such confidence."
"Blessing and a curse really," I answered. "So, what station do you work for?"
"Channel 10, out of ABCity," she answered.
"Why'd they send you here then?" I asked.
"Our parade is next week, so they sent me here to cover this. All of the on air "talent" covers a couple local events each year. My last one was covering some people making doughnuts in a church basement."
"Ah yes, Fat Tuesday," I said. "So, what's new in the news? Crime up, stock market down? Single people happy, married people miserable? Same ol' same ol'?"
She paused at this, maybe I struck a nerve.
She recovered and said, "Well, I only do the weather, but that sounds about right."
We continued our conversation, her telling me that her cameraman was from this town so he went to visit his family, and she decided to kill time downtown to wait for him.
I asked her if she'd ever seen 'Groundhog Day,' where Bill Murray was a weatherman sent to cover Groundhog Day and kept waking up and reliving the same day over and over.
She had seen it, and remarked that if she remembered correctly, Bill couldn't move on until he gets lucky his producer before the end of the day.
"That's right," I said, "but unfortunately for you I'm not that easy."
"Oh, I'm sure," she laughed, "and you're also not my producer."
"TouchΓ©."
As much fun as we were having, I sensed an inner sadness. Maybe I clung to the comment she made about her husband not liking her drinking during the day, or her reaction to my comment about marriage.
After an hour or so, as she started to gather her things to leave, I asked, "If I wanted to contact you, can I find an email on the Channel 10 website, or a Facebook page or something?"
"No," she answered. "I'm kind of hard to get ahold of. I had a stalker a few years ago, and my husband doesn't like me on social media for that and other reasons."
She paused again and appeared to be thinking, then she said, "Hand me your phone."
I unlocked my phone, and she added a number under the name TTMCWR -- which she said was for "Tina the Minor Celebrity Weather Reporter."
I laughed, and she said, "That's a number to a texting app that needs a password, so even if someone gets in my phone, they'd need a separate password to get into that app, if they even knew I had it. You can text me there."
We said goodbye, and I said, "See you Monday morning."
I didn't reach out her to over the weekend, and Monday morning I woke up at the start of the Channel 10 morning broadcast and turned it on to see what was in store. I had a whole new anticipation of watching, since she was really now the only "on air" personality that I actually knew.
She was dressed the same -- very conservative, no skin showing at all, and if I hadn't spent an hour with her two days before, I would never have guessed in a million years that she was anything more than Ms. Prim and Proper.
