This episode of my life occurred last year, before Covid emerged and the world changed beyond recognition.
I was in the first year of my English degree -- I'm now in the second -- and had arranged with friends to go to Tenerife. I'm not sure who's idea it was. It certainly wasn't mine, but whoever thought of it, must have had Tenerife confused with Ibiza, Magaluf or Ayi Napa. If you weren't aware, Ibiza, Magaluf and Ayia Napa are the main European holiday destinations for eighteen to thirty-year-olds, whereas Tenerife is reserved those about to retire.
We had no idea what Tenerife was like, but the moment we disembarked the plane, it was clear we'd made a big mistake. We were the youngest in the airport by about forty years, and that isn't an exaggeration. If the lack of anyone our age at the airport didn't set our alarm bells ringing, then it did when we arrived at the hotel. There was only one couple below sixty -- and that wasn't by much. The chance of meeting girls looked as likely as winning the lottery. Still, we were determined to have good time and decided to make the best of a bad situation.
After unpacking of cases and making ourselves at home, we headed down to the pool. The sun was blisteringly and we messed about in the water until dusk, when we headed back to our rooms. Despite having no chance of pulling, we set to enjoy ourselves. So, after showering and changing into our evening gear, we hit the entertainment strip.
There were restaurants and bars aplenty, but none of the clubs you'd find at a party resort. Magaluf it wasn't, but despite having more pensioners more than a British seaside town, we still managed to find a reasonably good bar, even if there weren't any girls. What it did have was good music and alcohol, and my friends drunk like they'd just come in from the desert. Not being much of a drinker, I had a single pint.
As my friends got more and more rowdy, I withdrew to a table by myself. I felt out of place and was about to go back to my room, when someone tapped me on the shoulder.
I turned to see a plump older woman, squeezed into a short black dress. Her tanned legs and ample breasts were on show for the world and she looked up for a good time. Despite her greying hair and worn skin, she wasn't unattractive. Still, she wasn't my type and I greeted her with cordial smile.
"Mind if I join you?" she asked.
"Nah, it's fine," I said, with a disinterested shrug.
She sat down opposite me and looked over at my mates.
"Friends of yours?"
My friends were playing a drinking game that involved one of them consuming a pint of beer followed by a shot of, while the others shouted, 'Down it, down it.' "Eh ... yeah, they are," I said, turning a bright shade of crimson.
She smiled. "Don't be embarrassed. There's nothing wrong with getting drunk and being loud. You're young and allowed to have fun. Still, I'm surprised you came to Tenerife."
"Why?" I inquired.
"Well, ain't exactly Ayia Napa is it?" she replied.
I laughed. "You're right, it's not."
"Still, it could be worse, you could have ended up Los Cristianos," she said, parting her heavily grossed lips in a smile.
"Why's that?" I asked,
"I take it you haven't been there?"
I shook my head.
"Well, let's just say it makes this place look like club eighteen to thirty! Still, they have a water park. Which is odd, as the people who stay at Los Cristianos would literally have a heart attack if they saw a water flume, let alone rode one." As I laughed, she reached for her bag. "Can I get you a drink?"
"A coke would be nice," I replied.
She looked at me cockeyed. "A coke, seriously? You're not planning on becoming a priest, are you?"
"Nah, I'm ... eh ... just not much of a drinker," I faltered.
She smiled. "Don't be embarrassed. I'm not much of a drinker either. That's why I wandered over here. My friends have had way too much and I needed a break. I'll tell you what; why don't we go for a walk?"
I agreed, figuring I could walk with her as far as my hotel and then go back to my room.
With left the bar and strolled along the moon lit coast, talking about everything and anything. She told me her name was Diane and that she had three children and six grandchildren. She had been married for almost forty years, but had divorced a few years back. She said that her and her friends had arrived at the resort two days ago and that they were staying for three weeks. Apparently, she had come to Tenerife every year since her divorce. She asked me about my situation and why I didn't have girlfriend. I explained that I hadn't met anyone I liked.
I enjoyed chatting to Diane. So much do that I decided not to go back to my room. After an hour, Diane said she was tired and asked if I would escort her back to her hotel. Naturally, I agreed.
We arrived at her door and she turned and looked me straight in the eye. My heart raced like a runaway train. I'd never felt anything like it. I was a child on their first rollercoaster; excited, but at the same time terrified. I'm sure this will sound crazy, but I really liked her. I know what you are thinking, but it wasn't just lust. Sure, it sounds too sudden to be anything else, but I have never enjoyed being around anyone as much as her and I didn't want the moment to end.
The way Diane looked at me, I could see she liked me too. Despite having butterflies in my tummy, I couldn't stop myself. I lent forward and kissed her. Diane returned my kiss and our lips locked in a passionate embrace. We must of been there ten minutes; our bodies pressed together and tongues entwining in a frenzied dance.
Without warning, Diane pulled away. "I can't do this," she said, shaking her head. "I mean, look at you. What are you twenty-five?"
I thought about lying, but I really liked her and didn't want to jeopardise my chances. So, I told her the truth. "No, I'm nineteen."
Diane looked like she'd seen a ghost. "Nineteen?"
I nodded.
"Well, I'm sixty-two and I have grandchildren older than you. It's not right," said Diane, exhaling deeply. "I could get arrested. Anyway, what would an nineteen-year-old want with someone my age?"
It was a good question and I will admit at that moment a big part of me wanted what any guy would want. "You are beautiful and I really like you," I said, looking her in the eyes. It was true I did think she was beautiful, and I did like her. "I don't care about your age. I think you are amazing." Diane was about to argue, but I moved in for a kiss and our lips embraced. She tried to pull away, but there was no real resistance and before long we were locked in another passion embrace.
My arms enveloped her. I pulled her close, my stiff cock pressed against her belly.
Once more she broke away. Only, this time Diane opened the door and lead me inside.
Blood pumped through my veins like a torrent. I hadn't been with an older woman and I wanted her so badly I was ready pop. When we reached the bedroom, Diane turned to face me. I was so turned on, my cock threatened to break free of my pants.
