Many of the homes on Aylesbury Place are owned by upper-middle class family's typically owned by young white couples whose husbands' work in the city and commute. Most of the homes that line the beautiful tree-lined street are secluded off the road and built on large parcels of land.
From the road of many of these homes a person could drive past and only see a driveway and maybe a small glimpse of one of the fine homes that have been built on this street. All of the houses that line Aylesbury Place have been built within the last five years.
The husbands do well enough that none of the wives on Aylesbury Park have to work outside of their homes. That leaves seventeen bored housewives' without much to do except for shopping, traveling and socializing.
Soon after the neighborhood began to establish the wives got together to form a club called. The Aylesbury Place Wives Club. The club was formed for many reasons including discussion forums for gardening, trips, hobbies and just a club where the wives on the street could get together to socialize.
The wives' club had members varying in ages from their early twenty's and into their forties and a few of them had children ranging from toddlers up into their early twenties.
Marisa Brown is the first and current president of the club and at forty-two she is the oldest woman currently on the street and in the club. Marisa is five feet three inches tall with long dark hair and her husband Steve who owns his own publishing company live in the largest house at the end of the street.
Their daughter Jenny is twenty-one and takes after her Mother in the look's department and after four years of college has been working from home as a writer. Jenny also belongs to the wives' club although she never has been married but contributes much of her time helping her Mother organize events.
The youngest wife in the club would be Nina Jefferson whose husband Bill has become a business partner with his father in a manufacturing company. Nina and Jenny have hit it off fairly good since Nina is only a year older at twenty-two.
It was the first Tuesday of the month and club business was always handled on that particular day of each month. On this particular day there was a new application for membership into the club and it had been the talk of Aylesbury Place since it had been submitted some two weeks' prior.
New residents had just moved into a new home that was built next to Marisa and Steve's house and the new applicant has started quite a disturbance in the club.
Each month one of the members offered their house as a meeting place and it was Nina's turn this month as the women began to take their seats and the meeting was about to begin.
Marisa took the floor and said. "Ladies. I want to thank you all for being here today and as you all know we have a new application we must look over and approve today."
Marisa continued on and said. "I want to thank Nina for the use of her lovely home this month and for my daughter Jenny for lending a hand with the refreshments. Now let us get on with our first business."
Marisa went on to say. "You all have a copy of our new applicant and as you can see the name on the application is Peter Ryan. Living right next door to our new neighbors, I haven't gotten a chance to meet either of them myself and nobody I've spoken to has yet to meet them."
Everyone sat very quietly as Marisa went on. "This is our first encounter with a man having an interest in our club and it's anyone's guess why a man would be interested in joining a woman's interest group. It's my guess and gut feeling is that this individual is gay and we must respect his rights here on this street."
The women all sat around whispering to one another as they looked over the application and listened to Marisa give her speech. In the space that was provided for the husband's name, there was a male's name written down in that space and everyone had to assume that these men were partners.
The women all figured that the feminine half of this couple just wanted to fit in with the rest of them. One of the ladies put it. "I hear that these men are very good decorators and maybe he can give us some tips on doing our homes or even cooking lessons."
Needless to say, they all voted in favor of letting Peter join their group and they would all get a chance to meet him that afternoon. It was custom for the ladies to get together in the morning and call the new applicant to join them for lunch to let them know they have been accepted.
As the meeting ended, the ladies all sat around talking which were the usual at one of these meetings as Marisa called Peter to let him know he had been officially accepted in their club.
One of the ladies named Roxy was sitting in deep thought about a gay man joining the club. Roxy was a pretty redhead and at thirty she still looked as sweet and lovely as her first day out of college. Roxy had been dealing with her husband Tim ever since she found out he was a closet cross dresser.
Roxy had found this out by catching her husband dressed up wearing women's clothing one day about three years ago and he has been insisting on her letting him continue with his sick practice. So Roxy was the only woman feeling most uncomfortable with letting in a gay man into the club.
Nina was the only woman that knew about her problem in the club and Roxy could trust her not telling her secret. Nina had glanced her way a couple times during the meeting and she knew that Nina was thinking the same thing that she was thinking.
Lunch had arrived and the catering company was busy setting up the table. There were several people with the company which was busy carrying in everything from sandwiches to refreshments.
A tall black man walked in wearing a suit and Marisa walked up to the man and said. "Are you the person in charge of the catering people?" The man chuckled and replied. "My name is Peter and I'm your new member and who do I have the pleasure in speaking to?"
Marisa looked embarrassed as she held out her hand and said. "I'm Marisa and it's a real pleasure meeting you and I want to welcome you to our little club which I think you will enjoy yourself here."
