Her husband's unexpected death had brought many changes in Selah's life. Which was to be expected. The hardest change of course was the loneliness. For that she had not been prepared. As the wife of an older man they had discussed the 'what if's' when one of them passed over. But none of the things they discussed had prepared her for the loneliness and emptiness her life had become.
As she drove down the drive to their home, she remembered that he had said he would want her to continue living her life to the fullest. That he expected her to find someone to love again, and maybe even remarry. That had all sounded fine at the time. When they had thought they would have many more years together. Selah parked her car and walked into the house. Grabbing the mail from the box, she flipped through it. She threw the junk mail in the trash, and placed the bills in a folder on her desk. She turned on her computer, and went to change clothes while it warmed up. Turning on the light in her room she decided to take a quick shower now, instead of later.
She grabbed her robe, turning to go into the master bathroom. The whirlpool tub beckoned and she decided her email could wait. Probably just more junk mail, and maybe a note from her mom or sister. She turned on the timer to the tub and poured some lavender salts in it. As she took off her work clothes she glanced in the mirror and saw, that the 2 years since his death had taken a toll on her body. Always having had a problem with her weight she had definitely let herself go. Selah made a mental note that she really should start walking daily, and maybe using the pool at the Y to lose some weight.
Selah stepped into the tub, easing down into the hot water. She sighed as she felt her muscles start to relax. The pool was a gift to herself after his death. Something she had always wanted, and had bought on the spur of the moment. But she didn't regret it, it helped ease the tensions of the day and relax her so she could sleep.
The phone rang and Selah listened for the answering machine in her room to pick it up. "Selah, this is Brian, we would like you to come down for the weekend. Call and let us know."
Oh great, Selah thought. Kim was a great sister and her husband Brian, was the best husband and dad that Selah could think of for her. But Selah just couldn't handle the thought of being around them and the kids right now. She would have to think of some excuse not to go.
Selah lounged in the tub for a half hour, and then turned off the jets. She stepped out of the tub, and over to the shower. She adjusted the water and stepped into the shower to wash her hair. She lathered her puff and ran it over her body, as she ran it over her breast she watched as her nipple puckered and swelled. She lightly ran her hand over the other nipple and watched as it also puckered in anticipation. Selah ran her hand down her stomach to her mound and found her clit was swollen and sensitive also. She played with her clit a bit, and pinched her nipples with her free hand. Ahhhh, it felt so good...she grabbed the hand held shower head and turned the water down a bit. Putting the shower head on pulse she ran it over her breasts and then her mound. Oh yes...right there. Mmmm oh yeah...just a little more...she leaned against the shower wall and trembled as her orgasm rippled through her. God she missed making love. Turning off the water and stepping out of the shower she dried off and put her robe on.
Walking into the living room she clicked on the internet to check her email. Yep...junk mail, and an email from her sister saying they hoped she would come visit them this weekend. A reminder for a bill that needed paying.
She decided to go play one of the online interaction games that she had become so involved with for a while, before she grabbed a salad for dinner. She clicked on the link and logged in. Hmmm 3 messages, one from a friend at work that played also. One from a Team player telling her about an online meeting with other Team members. The last one from a new person, Chey, that needed help on the game. Reading it she answered it, giving instructions on how to make the most of the game. She played for awhile and answered some messages that came in from her Team members.
As Selah was getting ready to sign off and go fix herself a salad, another message from Chey came in. Clicking on it she read "I'm sorry to bother you again. But I don't understand part of your instructions. Do you have Chat Messenger so we could discuss this."
Selah replied that she would be glad to chat with her if she needed help. Opening up her Chat Messenger she added the user name that Chey had given her to her friends list, and sent her an invite to chat.It was accepted almost immediately and a chat window popped up. Selah typed "Hi There how can I help you hun."
Chey responded that she just couldn't understand the instructions Selah had sent. The two chatted for the next 2 hours talking about the game, getting to know each other, and finding out they were both in the same line of work.
Selah looked at the clock and realized that she hadn't eaten yet and said she would 'Be Right Back' she had to grab something to eat.
Chey replied "Grab me something too LOL" and said she would be waiting.
Walking into the kitchen, thinking about their conversation she thought how coincidental to find someone else in her field of work. After fixing herself a salad and some hot tea she went back to her desk. Chatting for a while longer, they both agreed to sign in the next night, and see how things were going for Chey on the game.
The next evening when she got home from work, Selah turned on her computer and changed into some sweats and an old tank top, while waiting for the computer to warm up. She had grabbed a sub sandwich on the way home, so she grabbed a pop from the fridge and sat down in front of the computer to see if Chey was online yet. She logged into Chat Messenger and sure enough there was a message pop up from her asking "Hi Lady, how was your day?"
Chatting for hours, talking about their lives and their work. They both realized that they only lived about 2 hours away from each other, and laughed at what a small world it was. Chey had problems with her marriage, but was trying to work things out. Selah told her about her late husband and how much she missed him. Around midnight they decided they had better get some sleep as they both had to work the next day, and agreed to meet on line again after work.
The next evening Selah walked into the house as the phone was ringing. She picked it up to hear her sister ask if she was coming down for the weekend or not. She had forgotten about the invite, and couldn't think of an excuse quick enough to be plausible, so she agreed that she would drive down to Monterey the following night after work.
After changing her clothes she logged into Chat, no Chey. She checked her emails and answered a few. Then logged into her game and checked messages there. She saw that her friend was online playing and sent her a message."Hey Lady, how's the game going?"
As she clicked on send a Chat box popped up from Chey. "'Hey, can't talk right now. Problems. Back in hour or so."
She answered "Ok will be here." and went back to playing her game, wondering what the problem was and hoping everything was alright with Chey.
About an hour and a half later Chey again popped up and said "HI Sorry about earlier." When asked if she was alright, she said that her husband had been drinking and was being a jerk, but was now gone to his brother's where he would spend the night. Selah told her that she was going to Monterey the next day after work, and would be gone for the weekend. Chey said she would miss their evening chat's but hoped that she had a good visit.
The weekend was long and tense. Brian and Kim had invited a widower co-worker over for a Bar B Que on Saturday, trying to play matchmaker. That had led to an argument between them, with Kim accusing Selah of 'locking herself away,' and of course her saying that she wasn't. She had driven the 4 hours home still upset with them.
She got home and decided to take a soak in the tub for awhile and have a glass of wine. While soaking she enjoyed the silky feel of the salted bath water massaging her back and shoulders, easing the tension of the weekend. She rolled over to grab the bottle of wine and refill her glass. As she did so, the water jet that had been on her lower back hit her mound with a burst of water and air bubbles. Gasping in surprise she shifted her position a little...hmmmm this is interesting she thought. A bit different than the shower head. Selah slid a finger into herself and rubbed her clit with her thumb. Oh that is nice she thought. She spread her legs and straddled the pulsating water jet, aiming it directly on her mound. She continued to finger herself while the water jet worked it's magic on her clit. Letting her head fall back she whimpered as the waves of orgasm rocked through her. Drifting on the aftermath of her orgasm she got out of the tub and dried off.
Slipping her housecoat on she decided to see if Chey was on line and say Hi before she ate dinner. She logged in and right away a window popped up saying "Hi! Your home early, how was the weekend?"
Selah told her about the 'match making' and how mad she was at her sister and brother in law for putting her in that situation. Agreeing that it was not right. Chey told about her weekend, which had been peaceful since her husband had been out of town. They had been chatting for awhile when she asked "Can I ask you a personal question?"
"Of course!" Selah replied "I feel as we have known each other forever, you can ask whatever you want."
Chey typed "I know you don't have a man in your life right now, don't you miss the sex?"
