I'd only known Mary for a few weeks but we'd already become good friends and confidants ( maybe that was due to shared adversity ) but, at that moment, I was furious with her; how dare she try to control my life? and there was no way that I was going to cover her shift whilst she went out enjoying herself. So, as ridiculous as it seems now, I snapped back "Ok, right, ok" and stormed out of the bar. I got to the front door and was surprised to see that there was no sign of Mike in the doorway opposite and, as I searched up and down the street, I spotted him about a hundred yards away and just about to turn into a side street. I should have been happy at that but, for whatever reason, I felt a surge of panic and I hurried diagonally across the street ( not an easy task in five inch block heels ) and called out his name as I tried to catch up with him. He heard me and turned to face me but he didn't look at all happy to see me. It took a few moments for me to catch my breath before I could gasp out an apology for keeping him waiting so long and, even as I did so, I silently cursed myself for doing so. There was an awkward moment then Mike's eyes crinkled, his lips curled into a slight smile and he almost whispered "Hi" and, once again, I was struck by how good looking he was.
He asked what I wanted to do and I replied that I hadn't a clue so we strolled side by side to the town centre in virtual silence and, somehow, it was a comfortable, safe silence. He pointed out different places, telling me which pubs banned the locals for spurious reasons during the summer months in order to cash in on the more lucrative tourist trade and then stopped those same locals in the street at the end of the season, virtually begging them to return. He pointed out the good cafes and restaurants and the bad and eventually led me to a pub at the edge of the shopping area. There were still a lot of older people inside but many younger ones too and Mike nodded acknowledgement to a few but never stopped to chat as we looked for a quiet corner where we could talk. It was light, inconsequential stuff and I have no memory at all of what we talked about.
Neither of us was a big drinker so, after two pints for him and two rum and cokes for me, we left and naturally made our way to the prom and I felt slightly uncomfortable when I found myself in the same shelter where I'd had my unpleasant experience but it seemed very different in the daytime. We sat side by side, gazing out to sea and it seemed bright and shiny and beautiful after all those times that it had seemed so cold and dark and threatening. We compared our home lifes and, despite being brought up three hundred miles apart, they seemed so very similar. We both lived in council houses on similar council estates and had both been sent to catholic primary schools although I went on to a catholic secondary school whilst the nuns that taught Mike managed to beat religion out of him and he went on to a non secular grammar school. We achieved similar results and both left school at sixteen, before A levels. Both our fathers had been manual workers and had retired early after my father had a stroke that left him semi paralyzed down one side and Mike's father contracted lung cancer. Our mothers both worked in catering establishments to make ends meet and, whilst I was the only girl with four brothers, Mike was the only boy with three sisters. Our world view of politics etc were very similar and the only thing that we could find that we disagreed upon was our tastes in music where he liked heavy metal and prog rock and I favoured Cat Stevens and motown but that didn't seem important.
At some point, Mike slipped his arm around my waist, I wasn't sure when it had happened but it felt comforting and reassuring and, when we paused in our conversation, it seemed only natural for us to kiss. At first, they were gentle, fleeting brushes of the lips but, as the sun slipped down from the sky and our shelter slipped into darkness, our kisses became firmer and more desperate. I was, once again, wearing my navy blue maxidress and, as Mike gently lowered me onto my back, it fell open revealing my milky white thighs and black knickers but, unlike my previous encounter, he stood and gazed at the sight with a look of wonder on his face that sent a fresh surge of lust through my body. He knelt beside me, kissing my right thigh whilst stroking the left and I closed my eyes and sighed with pleasure. I've no idea when he took his prick out but suddenly he was sliding on top of me, pulling my knickers to one side and nudging the head of his cock against my slit. I shuffled slightly and we both gasped as he slid deep inside me. It probably wasn't the biggest cock I'd experienced but it definitely wasn't the smallest and, at that moment, it seemed absolutely perfect as it filled me up and touched every place that needed touching. He lay still on top of me, breathing heavily through his mouth with his cock buried deep inside me but I was already so close to cumming that I immediately started bouncing up and down against him. He took the hint and began pounding into me and the increased stimulation to my clitoris had me crying out as an overwhelming orgasm crashed through me. Mike attempted to keep thrusting but I pushed him away crying out "No, no, I'm too sensitive, you need to stop". He tried to continue but my struggles and his precarious position meant that he had to get up or risk crashing to the ground. He got to his feet as I sat up feeling exhausted and totally satisfied and so sleepy that I simply murmured that I needed to get back to the hotel.
Mike wrapped his arm around my waist, gripping my hip bone as we made our way back along the promenade but, when we arrived at the point where we needed to turn off, he steered me onward until we reached an area of open land just outside the town. I couldn't help chuckling as he gently but firmly lowered me onto my back at the side of the road and, as my skirt once again fell open, he reached up for the waistband of my knickers, pulled them off and stuffed them into his pocket.
