I had been married for a little over five years when I lost Dakota. He had been my best friend, my lover, my husband. The pain from losing him still hurt. Sharply! I miss the simple smile on his face, the small gestures he made to make me feel loved. The warmth of his hand caressing my face. The way he would gently make love. It's been almost fourteen months since he let go and left my world - cancer sucks! Cancer, really, really sucks!
Since Dakota's death, I've thrown myself into work. My family is rather wealthy, and unless I totally mismanage finances, I'm well taken care of for the rest of my life. I could have easily shut out the world and shut down after his death. But that's just not who I am. Yes, his death hit me like a ton of bricks, even though I knew it was coming. There are just some things in life you can't prepare for. Losing your soul mate is one of them. Anyhow, after a period of grieving, I am back at it. I refuse to get drawn into depression. There have been tough days, but slowly the light of the world is getting stronger. I find myself smiling more, and laughter has returned to my life. My friends are the best, they have been patient and loving.
My name is Jade and I choose to live life to its fullest! I'm five-ten. I'm extremely fit, I have practiced Jiu Jitsu since I was a kid. I work out several times a week. I have earned my strength, my body. And I'm able to take care of myself. I have thicker blonde flowing hair with natural bouncy curls that stretch down to the small of my back. My eyes are green, and I have a dark complexion. I've been told that I have striking facial features. In my opinion, my legs are my best feature, long, athletic and slim. My breasts are full, a C cup, and they show no signs of aging, they are still firm and I'm proud of the shape I'm in. I know that I'm attractive, but I don't let it rule my life. In fact, since Dakota's death, I've been celibate. Well, I've touched myself, but I have not yet ventured back out into the scene. I'm not ready to trust another someone with my soul just yet.

It has been a long week, a very long week. My team has been getting ready to push out a big project, so the hours have been insane. I manage a group of mobile development engineers. Yep, I'm a geek. Not your normal geek, but I can hit the keyboard with the best of my team and pound out code if needed. Anyhow, we hit a big milestone this week and so everyone is planning on cutting out early today. Yes, it's Friday, and we're all starting the weekend early. It happens to be fine with me, as I have plans for the evening. That doesn't happen often for me, not that I don't get asked, I just don't want to go there yet.
About a month ago, Faith, my roomy from college, called to let me know her youngest sister had just moved to town. She was wondering if I could spend some time with Hope. Help her to get to know the area. Faith had been my best friend in college. We shared everything with each other, and I miss being able to see her daily. I trust Faith with everything, and although we are on opposites sides of the country, we talk or video chat almost daily. She knows me better than anyone at this point. My fears, my hopes, my dreams and my pains.
Her sister Hope had visited Faith several times in college. Their parents had a wonderful sense of humor, naming the girls Faith, Hope and Charity. I am not kidding! While the order was mixed up, it was still funny. All three of the girls had light strawberry blonde hair - more blonde than strawberry. Their parents were both originally from Norway and the girls all looked the part. My memories of Hope were of this stringy beanpole of a kid. Awkward and uncomfortable with her body as she attempted to grow into being a woman.
Our schedules have not cooperated, Hope was starting her new job and I was deep into project work. Over the last several weeks, I have reached out to Hope and we have been 'chatting'. At first it was texting each other to try and find a date that would work to get together. That had transformed to where we began sharing little stories about our days. Venting about things that had gone wrong and celebrating the little wins of the day. We have become comfortable sharing with each other, so I was really looking forward to going out and spending some time with Hope.
When Hope had moved into town, she had moved with a college friend of hers, Kelsie. Both Hope and Kelsie were working for a local marketing company. Living together helped both reduce the amount of money they were spending on rent and gave them a chance to have a little breathing room in their finances. Being as they both worked for the same company and lived together, Hope had asked if Kelsie could join the two of us for drinks and dinner tonight. I was good with that, a night out with the girls is just what the doctor had ordered.

I leave work around noon; well, the entire team leaves work around noon. A small reward for the hours we've been putting in and the milestone we hit on our current project. Since I have the afternoon off, I decide to pamper myself before meeting up with the ladies.
First on the agenda is lunch. Nothing too special here as I know I will be having a larger meal tonight with the girls. So, a quick salad and then I head over to the spa.
I have two guilty pleasures in life that I indulge. The first is the massages that I get at the spa. It is sixty minutes of heaven on earth. While the masseuse works all the knots out of my muscles, I lay on the table and typically listen to some jazz or blues. This is my peaceful place where at least two times a week, I can lose all the worries of the world and find my inner peace.
My second guilty pleasure is lingerie. I love dressing in lingerie. The best brassieres and panties that I can buy. I'm also into hosiery, the finer the better. Even though my husband has passed, I still enjoy wearing lingerie. It is a guilty pleasure that I can indulge in daily, and nobody is the wiser.
After my spa treatment, I head over to one of my favorite stores and spend the remainder of the afternoon spoiling myself. In fact, before I head over to meet up with the ladies, I slip into some my newest purchases. Under my shirt, I'm wearing a white sheer bralette. It gently covers the girls and I love the feel of the material against my skin. I have rather large nipples and they poke at the material, apparently, they are enjoying the sensation as much as I am. Down below, I have matching sheer white thong. It's sexy as hell against my shaved pussy. As if I needed more, I had also purchased a set of white suspender stockings and have them on as well. Just the lingerie alone, makes me feel sexy, powerful! But that's not what people get to see. Not today! I am wearing a white silk blouse under a black silk blazer. The effect, with my blonde, hair is stunning. The blouse loosely tucked into a pair of high-end slim jeans that accentuate my tight little butt and show off my best feature, my long legs. As if to highlight the point, I am wearing black four-inch peep toe heals, stretching me out to six-two.
I arrive at the bar and make myself comfortable. I find a small circular booth in the back corner of the bar that will be big enough for the three of us and settle myself in to wait for Hope and Kelsie. It doesn't take long for them to arrive and when they walk in the door, I audibly gasp. Luckily, there is nobody near me to hear. Hope has grown up. She is no longer the gangly kid trying to figure out how to grow into her body. Her body makes a statement.
I recognize her at once, the family features are a tell. But, my God, Hope is simply gorgeous. At probably six feet, she towers over those around her. And then the Norwegian features hammered into those she meets informing them that she is a goddess! Her breasts are easily as big as mine and she proudly displays them. Not in a tawdry way, but she is comfortable in form fitting clothes that display her assets. Hope's skin is a little darker than mine and she has the most intoxicating blue eyes. Her legs are longer than mine and are toned. She is wearing a black skirt with black leggings underneath. The top is a form fitting sweater and left little to the imagination. Her strawberry blonde hair is pulled back into a single loose ponytail that lets her eyes be the dominant feature on her face. And that's saying a lot to get past the perfect pouty lips and slightly upturned button nose. Her blue eyes draw you in - the long lashes and smokey eyeshadow makeup. She was stunning.
