The Sparrow and the Anaconda
My name is Michael Morgan -- friends and family call me Mike. I'm 42, average height and weight and an IT professional for a Healthcare system in Michigan. My wife is Sarah Morgan -- friends and family call her Sparrow, and she is a schoolteacher in the elementary system.
Sparrow is barely five foot tall, small breasted (32b), just about 100 pounds soaking wet. She has brown hair that falls just to her shoulders and deep brown eyes. I will also admit that she has the cutest little ass this side of Detroit. She is 39 years old but looks much younger because of her size.
We live in the suburbs of Grand Rapids and have been married for 18 years. We have two children in their teens, old enough to be on their own but still young enough that we don't leave home alone overnight.
As you can guess, Sparrow got her nickname because she is incredibly tiny and lithe but to anyone who knows her, she is small but mighty and has an Irish temper that surprises people who cross her. She is also incredibly reserved and private and doesn't take kindly to jerks or arrogance.
I'd love to tell you that we are wild sexually and have a lot of adventures, watch porn and have tons of sex toys, but none of that is true. The wildest thing we've ever done in the close to twenty years together was having sex in the back of a pickup truck during the first summer we dated and when she gave me a BJ on her parents covered porch while they were inside watching Jeopardy one hot summer night. And after eighteen years of marriage, the sex has gotten somewhat sedate and "vanilla". Same positions, a very rare night of oral sex, no toys, dildos or movies.
So, it was out of the ordinary when I walked into the kitchen one fall night two years ago with what would be a somewhat radical idea. Sparrow was sitting at the kitchen table wearing a black hoodie and yoga pants, her legs tucked up under her slender frame to keep warm. She had a pair of cheaters reading glasses on and was sifting through a small stack of bills and having a glass of wine.
I sighed...I loved the look of my wife in yoga pants (we've already established she has the ass of a 18 year old coed) and smiled to myself watching her face all scrunched up doing paperwork. Yeah, you could say I love my wife.
"Hey, Sparrow... what you working on?" I asked innocently.
Sparrow looked up from the pile and gave me a sarcastic grin before holding up the stack of papers in front of her.
She said, "I'm finishing my doctoral thesis on Nuclear Fission and the effects of radiation on bees!"
I laughed, which made her smile. Then she said, "Bills, Mike, bills, bills and more bills!"
I kissed her on the forehead and reached past her for a wine glass and poured myself a healthy draw of merlot from the bottle.
"Kids are in bed finally -- well, let's say they're in their rooms, pretending to be sleeping but probably on social media or watching porn..." I said.
Sparrow's head snapped up when I said PORN as if I was committing a mortal sin and said, "If they're watching porn, they learned that from you -- Mr. Morgan!"
I laughed and reached for the papers in front of her. "Do we have any money left after paying off half the utilities in Michigan?" I asked.
Sparrow pursed her lips and said, "Barely -- Things are crazy expensive anymore...Someday we may be selling the children off for medical research to keep things afloat around here!"
I nodded and dropped the paperwork back on the table. I thought for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "We need a break....and I have an idea..."
Sparrow took the readers off and looked up at me..." Uh, oh...this sounds expensive -- your ideas are always expensive!"
I laughed and pulled a brochure out of my back pocket and laid it in front of her. On the cover were an attractive couple basking in the sun and splashing each other with pale blue ocean water... Sparrow glanced down at it and her eyes widened.
"Jamaica?" she exclaimed. "Have you lost your senses? I just told you we barely have enough money to pay the mortgage and utilities, let along the kids' soccer unforms due next week!"
Mike swallowed hard and let his little wife finish her tirade before speaking. "Sparrow, take a look at the pricing of this. Through the hospital's credit union, they're offering a buy one, get one free for adults. It would be half the normal cost and include airfare to an adult, all inclusive, resort in Negril. 8 days, seven nights in a five-star rated resort.
For the first time, Sparrow calmed down to look at the brochure a little closer. She had to admit to herself that the price was excellent. But still she had her doubts.
She looked up at Mike and said softly, "Honey, I know we haven't had a lot of time for ourselves, but this is still a lot of money...And what about the kids?"
Mike nodded and opened his phone to show her his balance in his saving account. It was more than sufficient for the trip.
Sparrow looked up at him with tears in her eyes and asked him where the money came from. Mike smiled and told her that this wasn't a spur of the moment's idea...that he had been socking away extra funds from each paycheck for over a year in anticipation of this trip. He said that he even had enough left over for her to go shopping for some island wear before the trip.
Sparrow stood up and put her arms around his neck and kissed him. "You know, Mike, you're certifiable! When would we do this? What about the kids?"
Mike grinned and said "End of the month...already have the flights reserved and your folks have agreed to stay with the kids. Gives you time to shop!"
Sparrow smiled and said, "Wow! More importantly, to get this mom body in better shape!"
The rest of the month flew by and with each passing day, Sparrow and Mike got more excited about their upcoming vacation. It had literally been years since they were away alone, and Sparrow worked out like crazy every day to tone her body. And then a week before their trip, she went shopping for island attire without Mike because she wanted to surprise him with a couple of sexy outfits.
Not to be outdone, Mike ordered a couple of bathing suits online for his wife to wear. It wasn't the normal stuff she would wear, but he hoped she'd relax a little while they were away and let her hair down. One was a bright orange bikini with a thong-like bottom that left little to the imagination and the other was a surprise fabric that would turn transparent when it got wet. He didn't tell her about that feature -- it looked more "presentable" with more material than the bikini, but he tested it under water and could see his hand through the translucent material -- hopefully she would wear it one day to the beach for the islanders to see. Mike would feign ignorance and claim he didn't know it was see-through when he bought it.
Sparrow bought a few less conservative short sundresses and short shorts that she would never wear at home and some island color thongs which she hoped would turn Mike on. She stopped in a beach surf shop at the mall that she had never been in before and purchased a couple of necklaces with suns on them that she felt would look good with the v neck dresses and also a couple of bead and leather ankle bracelets -- one with black and white alternating beads and another with a pineapple encrusted on the cord. She looked at a third that had the colors of the Jamaican flag but decided if she wanted that, it would be better to buy it locally on the island. Finally, she bought a black fabric choker -- she knew Mike would love that.
On the day of the flight, Mike and Sparrow dropped the kids off at her mom's, kissed them goodbye and told them to behave for their grandparents. As they drove to the airport, Sparrow felt like she was missing something -- that her life was somehow different. And then she realized it was the kids...it was the first time since they were born that they were going somewhere as a couple again and not a family. It was a strange but fun feeling and she hugged Mike's arm as he drove.
The flight to Jamaica was relaxing and festive -- everyone traveling had the same thoughts in their mind -- relax! There were college kids, couples like them, a few business travelers and some retired people but everyone was looking forward to escaping the cold Michigan fall and relaxing on a warm beach with an island drink.
Neither Sparrow nor Mike were heavy drinkers, but they allowed themselves to have a couple of in-flight glasses of champagne. Mike grabbed Sparrow's leg sitting next to her and she could tell he was as excited as she was.
At some point, a thought came into Sparrow's mind -- If this trip was sponsored by Mike's hospital, there may be someone on the flight that would recognize them. She brought this to his attention, and he laughed and told her that there were almost 30,000 people who worked for his health system and any interaction he had with them was always online, so the chance of someone recognizing them was slim to none.
He leaned over and whispered in his little wife's ear and said, "So you're completely anonymous on this trip...you can be as bad as you want to be, and no one will know! So, relax and let's have some fun!"
