Fiona was looking forward to the summer, the wonderful summer of 2014. The previous year her husband Jon made an impulse purchase of a bright yellow CJ Cruiser. The yellow SUV looked quite ridiculous, but Jon had got a great deal on it, perhaps in part due to the colour! But there was one thing that appealed to Fiona about the CJ Cruiser - it could pull a pretty big trailer. That was how Jon pitched the idea and that was how matrimonial peace was preserved. That autumn, Fiona found a good deal of her own and purchased a two year old Jay Flight 26BH. She booked a seasonal site at her favourite campground in Cavendish PEI - a campground with a wonderful pool.
Jon had just hauled the trailer over from New Brunswick in late June and Fiona's camping began. The idea was Jon and the kids would visit on weekends, when Jon could get time off work. The kids were preoccupied with their own social lives, and only expressed interest in weekends, with maybe a full week or two as well. Much of the time Fiona would likely be alone and she rather looked forward to a break.
It was a beautiful, warm, sunny late June day, when Fiona arrived at the pool. Fiona was somewhat self-conscious in her bathing suit as she had, in her words, a 'Mom's body'. Jon often assured her how sexy she looked and that many guys thought a mom in her 40s was most attractive, but she felt Jon was just being nice. But there were other moms there at the pool as Fiona picked her lounge chair, and Fiona started thinking maybe her figure was pretty good.
Then, she saw him. OMG!
The lifeguard. Not a teenage boy, but a man. Probably in his 30s, maybe ten years, ok, maybe a dozen years younger than her. Every woman has her 'type'. He was her type. A full head of hair, short well trimmed beard, abs of steel, handsome face and a nice smile. He greeted her, pointed to the rule board and the pool shower, and told her if she had any questions he was there to help. Fiona was smitten.
Fiona was very glad she had packed her toys with her. She knew she would need a hot date with her rabbit vibrator or one of the many other toys that night. Or, maybe even that afternoon ...
