She removed the banana, put right her gown, and went to fetch the mail, disposing of the banana as she went. It was a letter for Andrew, not that she'd noticed β her 'recollection' had temporarily slighted her ability to concentrate. As she returned to the living room she tore open the letter, wondering what had become of Ken after all these years β she'd never saw him again after that night, and she liked it that way. She stopped at the window; it was still raining. Probably married to some pretty little Japanese girl, couple of kids, the usual thing I expect, she thought as she glanced down at the letter. She went cold and her stomach felt as if she'd just been disembowelled by some medieval executioner.
Her forehead furrowed as she tilted her head back and looked up at the ceiling with her hand over her heart. That's not right, no fucking way is it, she thought, turning her attention to the view out the window β it was still raining. Still holding the letter, her arms had dropped to her sides and her usually virile posture, slouched. She wasn't really thinking about anything now, just staring blankly into the mist. Some feeling returned to her stomach in the form of a churning, sickening feeling, and her eyes had started to well with tears. There was an overwhelming weakness and she had to sit down, but she wasn't sure if she should to go to the toilet first. The flight of stairs leading to the bathroom made the decision for her β she was too weak to make it and besides, she couldn't care if she'd pissed herself right there by the window, not now. She dragged herself over to the sofa where she'd, earlier, pleasured herself through memory. Now, there was no pleasure, and no memory of pleasure.
She dared to look at the letter again, hoping what she'd seen might be gone. Her chin quivered, and the tears that had welled broke free from her eyes. She quickly stuffed the letter down the side of the sofa as if hiding it might, by some chance, help. She looked about the living-room, her face crumpling in despair. She placed her elbows on her knees, cupped her head in her hands, and sobbed, and snivelled, and sobbed some more.
The letter was only brief, but those few words managed to shatter Jennifer's whole world. It read:
Dearest Andrew,
Paris was great, perhaps this time we can see some of it, or not! Really looking forward to having, sorry, seeing, you on Saturday. Thanks for the invite.
Wet already,
Hannah xxx
It was some time before Jennifer regained control of herself. She wiped the tears from her face on the sleeve of her gown, took a few deep breaths, and adopted a posture not too different from a traditional English gent about to duel. Wounded but not beaten she scurried upstairs and swilled the tears from her face. She strutted into the bedroom, stood in front of the full-length mirror, and dropped her robe. She critically examined herself, wondering what it could be that drove Andrew to fuck another woman. She looked at and squeezed her tits. Nothing wrong with these, she thought. They were quite bulbous and firm, very firm, and definitely weren't heading south. She stroked her waist; it was as tight as the day they'd met. She turned around, twisting her neck as she did as far as it would go, to study her behind. She stroked it as she looked. Well, I haven't seen many as tight and peachy as this, she thought, slapping it to see how much it wobbled β it barely moved.
She slipped a single finger into herself and felt for a crushing sensation on it as she flexed her pelvic floor muscles. She smiled smugly. I could crush a pencil in there, never mind milking a cock, she thought, quite impressed with herself. She stroked and squeezed her thighs, then her upper arms; her skin was tanned and soft as velvet, whilst the flesh was firm to the touch, no looseness or excess. She adopted several different sexual positions and studied herself, eagle-eyed for any flaws. She couldn't find any. She had one last look at herself with hands on hips and legs spread. Her focus drifted from her perfect figure and zoomed-in on her face. She was still beautiful -no doubt - even without make-up, and having tearful, reddened eyes with hair that hadn't been touched since the night before. Maybe he's just bored with me... or I've become boring, and that's why he's fucking another woman, she thought as her lips curled in anger. Well, two can play at that fucking game you bastard.
She didn't consider for a moment her experiences in this field; she didn't have to because this was different. I've never got involved with anyone else before, what the fuck does he think he's playing at, she thought as she drove to the gym, cursing the rain as she went. She hadn't planned on going there today but the day had changed, Andrew had changed, she had changed, everything was going to change, today!
She parked up, grabbed her kit bag, and splashed her way through the puddles to the steamed-up glass doors of the gym, wishing that the weather would change also. Two minutes later she appeared at the door of the changing room wearing, very little. Looking at her you'd think she'd got ready for a tanning session, certainly not a training session. Her outfit seemed to be, pretty much, a bikini. As she came out onto the gym floor several women decided to call it a day and disappeared, whilst the men seemed to stop what they were doing and stand around in pairs whispering to each other and trying desperately hard not to get caught looking at her.
