Thank you for reading my story, I hope that you enjoy it. Love Mica xx, Yorkshire England.
Please note that I am a British female, and I write in British English and vernacular, so for me a fanny is the correct term for female genitalia, a pussy is a pet cat, and the ass is a bum or arse.
I apologise for any typo errors in my story - I edit these myself, and I'm not perfect...
This is a continuation of my Roger series, reading the earlier parts will help set the scene
The phone rang, it was an outside line. "Hello, it's Roger" Obviously I went through the whole official company answering the phone message. Like fuck I did.
"Hello. I wasn't sure if I would call you. I sat and looked at your card all day yesterday."
When I had left Joyce's house the other day, I had slipped a card into Christine's handbag with my phone number on it and the words 'Call Me'. I actually didn't have to write it, I have a few already written that I keep on me, just in case. A nice walk through the woods with Pati had been a lovely diversion and it had been really good to see her, and she was a wonderful fuck as always. She had seemed a little distant, but then, not surprising, we hardly get to see each other these days.
"Hello, How are you? I didn't get much chance to say how delightful you are and how fantastic it was to meet you, Christine." Well, a bit of gush wouldn't hurt.
"Oh. You are just saying that."
"Why would I just say that if it wasn't true?"
"I don't know, you want to trick me into bed perhaps?"
"We already did that, and as I recall, there was no trickery. No, I said it because I mean it, I think that you are a most amazing person, that you probably had difficult time growing up and I am amazed that you are sane and I desperately want to get to know you very much better."
"I hoped that we could meet, perhaps just for coffee, I am really nervous and the other day was mad and I am not sure I really know what happened and I did things that I would never do and it all got incredible and I am not sure and I am talking too much I am sorry."
"Wow. What are you scared of? We have done all the scary stuff, so now we can take it at whatever pace you want. If you want to meet for coffee, then let's meet for coffee. Where?"
"Coffee shop in the top end of Shipley."
"Yeah, I can do that. About 3.30 today?"
"Oh."
"Well, no time like the present."
"Yes, okay, of course." She paused and then spoke again, more decisively. "Yes, absolutely, of course. 3.30 today. The pay and display is signed from the bypass in case you didn't know it."
"Thank you, I know just where you mean. I will see you later."
Interesting. She was very nervous, and I would have to be quite careful not to freak her out. I rang Ronnie.
"I could do with working late, are you off to see your mum again?"
"I was umming and ahing, but if you aren't going to be home until late then I will. It is such a pain that the motorway closes."
"Well, do what you did the other day and come home in the morning. I can get your breakfast all ready for you, so all you have to do is shower, eat, dress and go."
"Okay then, yes I will, thank you."
So that was the scene set, depending on how things panned out, I didn't need to rush home, but if I ended up at home early, then, again, no problem.
I went home the Shipley way and stopped off at the little car park and walked into the coffee shop come cafe that was just at the top end of the high street. Christine was sat at a table in the middle, not far from the counter. I walked up to her and kissed her cheek. "Hello beautiful," I said. "Have you ordered?"
"Are you like this all the time?"
"I don't know what you mean." I suppose I did know exactly what she meant. "Have you ordered, what would you like?"
"You know exactly what I mean, no I haven't, Cappuccino please."
I went over to the counter and ordered two large Cappuccino and stood watching as the girl behind the counter fussed with the Gaggia coffee machine and then deciding that this was not going to be a quick process, I turned to Christine. "You look quite stunning today. Me? All I can do is apologise, I have just done 9 hours at work, so this is my crumpled, slightly worn look."
She laughed and shook her head. "I don't think I have ever met anyone quite like you."
"I don't quite know how to take that," I smiled back, "didn't you meet someone quite like me the other day at your friend's house. Oh wait, no, that wasn't me, no, that must have been someone else." There was a rattle behind me, the coffee's were ready. I paid the frankly ridiculous amount of money for two coffee's and put one in front of Christine, and the other at the empty space opposite where I sat.
"So, do you prefer Chrissie or Christine?"
"Joy always calls me Chrissie. Most other people just call me Christine or Chris or whatever."
"Well I never. Joyce is a Joy is she, oh I can have fun with that, you know I never would have dared abbreviate her, but I shall now, oh what fun. You however, did not answer my question, Chris is, to me, a bloke's name, Chrissie is very feminine as is Christine, what do you prefer, what makes you feel warm when you hear it?"
"Not Chris, I am not fond of that. I am okay otherwise." Interesting that she had mentioned that she was called Chris, considering that she doesn't apparently like the name. A psychologist would have a field day.
"Well, I think Christine is a lovely name and if you have no objections I shall continue to call you that." Her face smiled and I guess I made the right call. I wonder if she shortened Joyce to Joy in retaliation to being called Chrissie? I know that Joyce had called me 'Rog' on more than one occasion, I had made nothing of it, but it was a bit irritating.
"So."
"So."
"Well, I was delighted that you called."
"I nearly didn't."
"Why on earth not, I thought we got on very well."
"A man would think that. Me I wondered if you were just viewing me as a novelty act."
"Christ no. To have grown up and dealt with that, school must have been awkward in PE and games, to have been unlucky with boyfriends that were complete pillocks, and to be as wonderfully untroubled and, if I am honest, balanced, is a testament to your character and personality. You are a treasure, a real one, not a novelty trinket."
She sat quietly looking down and then lifted her cup to her mouth and took a sip.
"You are right," she said, "I do wish I had met you years ago."
"Well thank you, the feeling is mutual, I really want to get to know you better, I want to be able to make you relax, be comfortable. I don't want you to be on edge, afraid of any question I might ask. I want you to look forward to seeing me, not be afraid of what might, or might not happen. I can only make that happen if I am honest. I was honest with you at Joyce's house, and I can promise I will stay honest with you."
She finished her coffee and stood up. That rang alarm bells with me, what had I said to alarm her?
"Come on, lets walk a while, this place is depressing." I sighed a very large mental sigh of relief, drained my coffee and followed her out. She put her arm through mine. "Is it safe to walk along her with you?" She asked, her head tipped to my shoulder.
"In terms of what, me being likely to attack you?"
"No, silly, you are married, will your wife or any of her friends know you here, recognise you, tell tales after school, so to speak?"
"Oh, I don't know, I am so enjoying the moment I never gave it a thought. Well I don't think she knows any one over this way, not that is likely to recognise me anyway."
"You ought to give it a thought."
"Well, I am not really used to this."
"Oh come on, I know that you have been with Joyce, and I know that you have been with your neighbour, Joyce told me that days ago. And of course there was us the other day, so don't pretend you are not used to this."
"No, you misunderstand. Yes I have liaisons outside my marriage, they are almost all in the time after I get home and before my wife does. Occasionally she will be out for the day and I will be at home alone, thus giving me an opportunity, but this is not that. I don't actually know what this is, but it is not a quick session grabbed before the wife gets home. I don't know how to do this, this what we are doing, this is what I don't know how to do."
"And what do you think we are doing? Aren't we just walking up a High Street?"
"No Christine, no we are not, not to me. This is more than that."
"Oh. That is alright then. You had better stop walking."
"Why?"
"Because it is difficult to kiss you when you are walking."
She pulled me round so I was facing her and stood on toes and kissed me, full on, beautifully moist and very sensuously. That was not chaste or just a friendly peck. Good, it seems I was playing it right.
