I blinked as the sleep mask was removed. Upon focusing, I could see Bethany's face directly in front of my eyes, but I could also make out a naked back that was obviously riding my cock, reverse cowgirl style. "That's your...........
My marriage was officially on its way to divorce. My reasons were: Andria's drinking; infidelity; her refusal to get help for her possible mental imbalance; and, I didn't think I loved her anymore.
Covid 19 was in full swing bringing new devastating news throughout the country and the world. I felt sorry for the people who were sick and especially for the families who had a death as a result of this horrible disease. I also felt sorry for young people whose jobs and careers were being affected--especially college students in football programs and other sporting endeavors.
Work wise, Covid 19, was stabilizing at our factories. All the measures to stop this disease seemed to be working. Personally, I felt very fortunate. I still had a good job. Medication was helping me. And, if one was going to go through a divorce, it may just as well happen in the middle of a pandemic. I spent another two months diligently doing my therapy and working on my 2 jobs.
I needed more sleep so my Reno was taking longer than I had planned for. The time line was already 3 months behind and looking like another 6 months to go. I wasn't really worried though because even though they say "Time is Money", money wasn't a big problem. It appeared that I would have about 1 million dollars of cash and equity after the divorce was finalized--probably also another eight months away.
While I was nowhere near starting a new relationship, women were constantly flirting with me. Especially when I went shopping which I did 6:30 on Saturday evenings. But there did appear to be many single women there and they were constantly on the make. Many tried to talk to me and some even asked me for my phone number or aggressively try to put their numbers in my phone. I put everyone off, telling them I was going through a divorce and nowhere near ready to see anybody. Some women didn't seem to be put off by my statement and would try even harder.
I was standing in line at the cashier, socially distancing myself from the lady with her baby in front of me, when one of these 'women' asked me for my number. I discouraged her as best as possible. I noticed the lady with the baby chuckle. When I got to the cashier, who was maybe nineteen but had enough makeup on to look older, made an obvious display of writing her phone number on the back of my receipt. The lady who had been in front of me, was settling her baby in the shopping cart, looked my way and actually laughed out loud.
When I went outside to my truck, I saw the lady with the baby putting her groceries away, two cars away from mine. I went over to grab her empty cart to return it to the cart area. We said 'Hi' and exchanged pleasantries. She was smiling widely and I just shrugged my shoulders and left shortly thereafter.
The following week I was at the grocery store again at 6:30. I was in the produce section trying to make an apple selection. There were so many types and I was slightly confused. A beautiful red head with big breasts (probably fake) tried to help me out but in a way that even I could see she trying to chat me up.
When I began to give her a no thanks, someone behind me said "he's mine, honey". It was the lady with the baby from last week, this time without the baby. This young woman was tall, full figured but not fat, and she was intimidating. The red head backed away.
"Thanks" I quietly whispered. And then added "Are you stalking me?", I said with smiling eyes. Since everyone was wearing masks, eyes could still give away a sincere smile.
"I was hoping you would be here. I had so much fun watching you squirm last week" she laughingly replied.
"Well, thank you anyways. But I don't understand why so many girls are coming on to me. I still wear my wedding ring. And yes, I really am getting a divorce and am no way into seeing anyone."
"Well, you're good looking and advertising that you are single and available. You might as well have a neon sign." she answered and snickered.
"What do you mean?" I quizzically asked.
She leaned into my cart, "Let's see. A six pack of beer, 2 bottles of pop, bread, peanut butter, chips, snacks" and then she picked up my box of cereal "Cocoa Puffs?" she playfully asked.
I could see she was starting to play with me at my expense so I pouted "They are my favorite" I said with smiling eyes.
"Then there is what you don't have." as she looked up to see my uncertainty. "No wine".
"Can I help you shop to help you out?" I said "sure" and started to look her over as subtlety as I could. Before me stood a tall girl (over 6'). Her dark hair was shoulder length. "Harry" I introduced myself as I held out my elbow for a bump.
"Bethany" she gave my elbow a solid bump. She took me to the instore wine kiosk.
I asked her where her baby was as she placed 2 bottles of wine into my cart.
"He's with my ex" she replied as she then walked me into the cereal aisle. Where she gave me a box of Special K.
We then shopped together for another 20 minutes where she also tried to put some things into my cart and I said, "Sorry I only have a small bar fridge."
"You don't have a fridge?" she asked. "It's a long story" I told her.
We went to check out and we had the same cashier as the previous week. As I put my items on the belt, I asked Bethany, "What do I do with the wine?" "Just tell the clerk you don't want them after all", and the clerk took them aside. "And Special K?"
"Oh, I'll take those" and proceeded to put them in her section of conveyor belt.
The cashier started to write something on the back of my receipt but Bethany cleared her throat and the clerk stopped writing.
We both bagged our groceries and headed out to the parking lot. Again, she was parked close to me. And I did something very unusual. I asked if she wanted to go out for a coffee.
"You mean like a date?" she asked and fluttered her eye lashes.
"No, no, not a date" I sputtered. "I just wanted to talk to you. I haven't laughed in a long time. I was enjoying myself."
"I am teasing you. Boy you are so easy" and then she paused and said "okay".
"There's a quiet little coffee shop just around the corner."
"Okay, I'll be there in 30 minutes." she said with a gentle smile.
"30 minutes? It's less than 5 minutes away."
"Listen here Bar Fridge Boy, I actually have to go home and put some of my stuff away. Like in a real fridge, before things melt" she again teased me. "See you there in 30 minutes". I was really beginning to like this girl.
When she arrived, I had a good chance to give her a good look as she approached my table. She was definitely younger than me. Probably early 20's compared to my 32. Her dark hair had a bounce when she moved. Her shoulders were quite wide and her breasts were hard to distinguish. She was definitely appeared smaller in the boob department than my ex.
We both made small talk as we went over our shopping experience. And before long we began talking about ourselves. She said she had an amicable divorce with her ex-husband and he was a good dad who took "Benjamin" I was to learn, every 2nd weekend.
"But you are so young. It must really hurt" I added.
"Yes, I think there is pain in any divorce at any age. I'm sure you know all too well". She added.
I didn't want to go too far down the 'divorce' conversation hole, so I pivoted in asking her if she worked. "I did before Ben came along. Hopefully I will return in a few months". When I asked her what she did she said "I was in construction. I was a carpenter's apprentice. I hope to get my papers in about a year."
When I kind of laughed, she became angry and huffed "You don't think I could be a carpenter? You men are all alike."
" No, no" I quickly replied. "I know a few women in the trades" When I could see her demeaner still riled I quickly added "I have a 2nd job flipping houses. And, ironically, I actually need a carpenter to help me on my latest flip. With Covid I am so far behind. I am actually living in my current flip. That's why I don't have a fridge. The kitchen is 3 months behind" I said.
Bethany said "I was wondering why someone driving a new, loaded Ford 250 4X4, and dressed in nice clothes, did not have a fridge."
"Did you want to see my reno?" I further asked.
"You're moving kinda fast, aren't you?" again, she teased. By now I was getting to understand her humor and how she playfully teased me. To be honest it was very enjoyable.
"It's just around the corner." We finished our coffee and I drove slowly letting her follow me.
We arrived at my reno house in an up-and-coming neighborhood. To be honest every house in the city was up and coming as the housing market was hot. She was impressed but could clearly see how much work remained.
I don't know when the idea came to me, but I asked if she wanted to work for me.
"Are you offering me a job? You hardly even know me."
"Yes."
"Well as flattered as I am, I have a six-month-old baby, so I couldn't work anytime soon. I can't afford day care" she reluctantly said.
"Well, this job might be tailored made for you. You could work your own hours. Part time, every 2nd weekend and any hours you can give me. I work here part time myself after my office job."
"Let me think about it."
"Take your time." We went to leave and I asked, "see you next weekend at the store?"
"I wouldn't miss the best comedy in town" she smiled.
Let me describe Bethany better. She 6'1" (5'13"--she preferred), broad shouldered, strong, mid length brown hair--matching brown eyes (giving her a girl next door face), moderate curves (her breasts were a mystery to me). She had a definite Amazon look. Her sense of humor enhanced her beauty.
I was not expecting to meet anyone, nor have a physical attraction to anyone. Between Covid 19; dissolution of my marriage; working on my mental health; and, still working two jobs--I was surprised to have these feelings towards anyone so soon.
When she started working for me, it didn't take long before I was sneaking peaks. The first thing I noticed was the strength in her arms. Probably not the normal thing to notice as Coach would say. But it was a sign of health perhaps. Perhaps similar to pregnant women who appear so healthy to me. The next thing I saw was her ass. It was constantly on display. I encourage anyone to hire a pretty carpenter. They bend over so often, accenting their behinds. What I couldn't notice was her breasts since she always wore heavy sports bras. She didn't have pear shape globes. As you have probably picked up on my preoccupation with women's chests, it was challenging my imagination.
I got royally busted when I was helping her pour cement for the back portion of the extension. Bending over she looked back asking me how it looked. "Nice form," I murmured once again admiring her backside. When she looked at me quizzically, I tried to make a save with, "Nice forms. Nice cement forms." She just smiled. I'm sure I was blushing.
I was caught staring at her ass again later that same day and she called me on it, "Are you checking me out?"
"Guilty," not knowing what else to say. I looked down and shuffled my feet.
