We - my wife and I - had moved from a busy city to a small town around twenty years ago. I joined a local tennis club soon after and that was when I first met a lady called May; she too was married, but at the time she was going through a divorce. We got along well and I helped her get over it by just being there for her.
After her divorce and during the next few years we became very close friends, she confided in me many things, things she knew I would not pass onto another soul, not even to my wife. We often hugged and we gave each other friendly kisses, just a hello or good bye type of kiss. Nothing more, we never went further than that, we knew we would only spoil the relationship if we ever took that step.
I was married and wanted it to stay that way. Two years after May's divorce she met Nick. A nice man; I met him a few times, he also played and I did get on quite well with him. May had told Nick about me and the close friendship we had.
And before we knew it another year had passed, May and I were involved in many more enjoyable matches. And also Nick and May got married. I was over the moon for May, I loved to see her happy. I was so glad she had found someone who would treat her right. From getting to know Nick; I thought he could be right for May.
He saw how May and I got along as tennis partners and how we understood each other on and off the court. I could tell he knew the sort of feelings May and I had for each other. And for some reason he never came across as the jealous type.
Then one day a bolt of lightning struck; in the form of some news that brought a tear to my heart. They told me that Nick had found a job that would lead them away from here. I was in turmoil, both happy for them and sad I would not see them, well, May on a regular basis like we had been doing. And I would lose my playing partner.
May and I always kept in touch through texting, we always told each other what had happened that week, day or whenever!
For me it was more than losing a friend, although I had not actually lost her, it felt as if I had. Then over time, texting got more and more infrequent and when we did, it was not the same sort of conversations. The conversations had little feeling behind them - we grew apart over the next eighteen months.
Then one day again another bolt of lightning, but that time the news was a hell of a lot better. I got a call from May, she said, "Hi lover," she always did tease me that way.
She continued, "You won't believe me, we're moving back!"
My heart sang, I felt goose bumps all over my body, I asked, "Back! Here... when!"
I sounded so over joyed, then a sudden feeling of 'What's happened!' and in almost a sorry voice I asked, "Are you alright and how is Nick?"
She said, "Don't be worried lover, nothing's wrong. Nick's job is relocating, relocating back near where we used to live, by you!"
I was much happier, she said, "We're there looking at some property's. I'll text you and we can meet up."
She did text and we all four of us met for lunch. It was mainly May and I who talked to each other, my wife although she knew May, she did not really know Nick. But nevertheless, both spoke to each other and seemed to get along. But May and I, well we were like a house on fire; you could not have stopped us. It was like we were the married couple out the four of us.
May and Nick moved a month later and we all met on regular evenings out, meals at different restaurants. The last time we met, May said that they had bought a static caravan near a seaside resort, as a weekend retreat or for holidays. She said that they already had some friends over to stay and would like us to visit sometime soon.
May said we could stay over as the caravan had two bedrooms. My wife was always the negative one; she was reluctant to go for a weekend. When we got back home that evening my wife said to me that she did not want to sleep in a caravan, she at least wanted to see it first.
So we arranged to go over for a day. My wife and I got to the caravan and we all had a bit of a chat and a look around. My wife looked happy but I could see in her eyes she was still not that happy. We went out for drinks and a lunchtime meal. Again it was May and I who talked and talked.
May and Nick had re-joined the tennis club but I unfortunately already had another partner for our matches. May and I still played together on club nights.
A few weeks passed and then May said to me one evening as we were leaving the tennis club, "Hey lover, how about you coming over for the weekend, to the caravan. The site is holding an end of season bash, a meal and entertainment."
I said I will ask my wife and get back to her. In my head my instant reaction was 'yes', but I knew I'd have to ask the wife. And as usual I knew the answer well before I had asked it, she said, "NO."
She gave some stupid excuse that there was not enough space in where they had put a bed and was not interested. The room was small for a double bed but for what it was 'A room to sleep in,' in a caravan it was fine, for me anyway.
I called May the following morning; I just made an excuse, I said, "Sorry dear, but wife cannot come, she has a prior engagement."
I could tell from her voice she was not happy, and she picked herself up and I heard a chirpier voice ask, "If you like you can come on your own." I said that I'd have to get back to her.
I don't know why but I thought it only polite to make an excuse for my wife. To be honest, I did not care if my wife didn't want to go, that didn't mean I could not go. I liked May's company and I also liked Nick.
It always made me angry when I asked my wife anything, she was always, always negative; whereas I always wanted to do things. Weather they were on the spur of the moment or planned weeks in advance.
So when my wife said she didn't want to go for that weekend, I just thought, well I'm going and you can stay home and be a prune. So I texted May and said that I'd be delighted to come.
I got a text back almost immediately from May, it read, 'Wonderful lover!'
As I packed a bag I still asked my wife if she wanted to come, and she said no. I knew that was going to be the answer even before I asked her. But it still niggled me, so I said, "Look if you don't want me to go then say so."
She just sniggered and in a sarcastic tone said, "Just go and have a nice weekend with your buddies."
I left; I got to their caravan mid-afternoon. We went out for a drink and a light bite to eat. We spent the next few hours site-seeing, just walking around. We ended up in a wine bar where we had a few glasses and that set us up on a bit of a buzz.
It was an hour before we needed to get to the main hall for the evening meal and the entertainment. We all showered and got changed. We headed off and had a great meal, the entertainment was great. There was a comedian, he was funny, cabaret singers and a magician, and he wasn't bad, quite good at the close up magic tricks he did on our table with a deck of cards.
All the while May and I joked with each other, Nick joined in and all three of us were in a really good mood. On several occasions when I made a slightly rude comment about the other guests, or the entertainers both May and I laughed ourselves to tears. May and I had the same sense of humour, I think that had a lot to do with how well we got on with each other. I had noticed the way Nick looked at us both. It wasn't in a bad way, but I think he felt like he was the intruder.
It was nearly one in the morning when we got back to the caravan to head off to bed. We were all a bit tipsy, but not drunk. After we had said good-night to one another May gave me a quick kiss on the lips and said, "Good night lover, sleep tight."
Then both May and Nick went into their room and left me to mine. I could not asleep; was a bit sort of adrenalin fuelled. It was hot in the van so just had my boxers on under the bed sheet.
Then all of a sudden I heard a knocking sound, I thought it was the door. But it was from an adjacent wall. The sound was continual, every now and then it was quite strong, a big few thuds and then back to slow and rhythmical. I knew what it was; Nick had his cock in May, lucky bastard! But then they were husband and wife.
I got a hard-on and started to stroke myself, just slowly. I peered out of the window and saw lights on in other nearby caravans. I wondered how many others were having just the same experience as Nick and May.
