It seems somewhere along the way I lost the draft of this little story. So I had to start over. I hope I can recreate it. And as normal I try to let your mind fill in the blow by blow details.
Wynn
Her first trip up north and another first
Part 1
I work in an office with a mixture of men and women. Everyone seems to get along real well. On Friday nights after work many of us stop for a burger and beer at a place close to the office. The group varies, on rare occasions everyone is there; many times maybe 60 to 70 percent will make it. I always stop. Being single I don't have anyone waiting for me, so I hang out to the end.
As can be expected more than half our staff are female and most of them are young. Being in my mid-fifties I really enjoy the mind candy. That's the main reason I work. My parents have passed away but I was left with a sizable inheritance. Cash, stocks and bonds, if I wanted I could live comfortably without working.
I mentioned that I often hang around to the end of the group get together. After everyone from work has left, I might if the mood strikes me check out the ladies that are around and alone and if I chat up one and she is agreeable spend some quality time with her. I make no excuses about my conduct and I am upfront with my plans. I am single and I intend to stay that way. My affairs with the gentle sex are short. Sometimes it's a month or a week or two, maybe only several nights. One night stands sometimes. It is surprising how many ladies have the same feelings about it as I do.
On a boring Saturday I was surfing the web and ran across an article about waterfalls along the Minnesota coast and Lake Superior. After digging into it deeper the thought came to me that I should take a few days and try to photograph some of them. And it seemed that in the spring when they were running full with the spring melt would be a good time. On a Friday night I mentioned it to the group as we were drinking beer. It brought out a few questions and then the conversation moved on to other topics.
Part 2
The middle of the following week Wynn, one of my co-workers, stopped by my cube and asked if we might talk sometime after work. We made plans to get together after work the next Wednesday and at a small Italian place across town. As we shared a pizza the questions started.
Wynn: "I've been taking an online photography class. When you mentioned the waterfalls and going up to look at them I thought that maybe I could go with you. If you thought that might be ok?"
Me: "I don't know how that would work out. I've got a small RV that I travel in."
Wynn: "I know that. You've mentioned it a couple of times on Friday nights."
Me: "It only has one bed. And it would lead to some adult activities if we were you to go with me what your Henry would think about that."
Wynn: "My Henry has left. He moved to California to get his masters in modern history."
Me: "And you would be ok with what would take place?"
Wynn: "Can I be honest?"
Me: "That would be good."
Wynn: "Ok...I know your reputation. A new woman every time you turn around. And that's how I feel. I'm not interested in having a husband and a couple of kids with a picket fence around the yard."
Me: "Whoa...everyone knows about my style?"
Wynn: "Ya, I think so."
Me: "Damn."
Wynn: "There is one more little thing I have to share."
Me: "Ok."
Wynn: "You have to promise not to tell anyone. Promise me?"
Me: "I promise."
A very long pause as she hung her head.
Wynn: "This is not easy but I'll try. You promise to keep this just between you and me, right?"
Me: "I do."
Another very long pause before she looked at me.
Wynn: "No...I can't go there. Let's just forget the whole thing. Thank you for the pizza and beer. I'll see you tomorrow at work. Let's just forget the whole thing."
Wynn got up and was out the door without looking back. I figured the conversation and her going north with me was over. To my regret, Wynn was a wonderful woman, so very good looking, with short dark hair, almost as tall as my six feet, slim, long legs, a great butt and small breasts. I expected with her personality she would be a lot of fun in the bedroom. Ah well, I would just have to go to Minnesota alone.
Part 3
Wynn avoided me the rest of the week. At the bar the next Friday night she made sure to sit as far away from me as possible. And then as the get together broke up she headed for the ladies room and reappeared after everyone else had left. I wasn't looking for any company that night so I was just finishing off my beer as she came to the table.
Me: "Hay, I thought everyone was gone. Want another beer?"
Wynn: "Maybe another one."
