I met my old friend Bobby quit accidently at the grocery. We hadn't been in contract for over ten years. I moved, she moved, we fell out of touch, but we both look pretty good for older middle age women. She invited me to her house for lunch and a chance to reacquaint ourselves.
We met at her house and reminisced over wine and a coupe of joints. It was like old times minus the baggage between us. She'd been in and out of few marriages and now just settled on what we called in our time, shacking up with a guy.
Gary was a big guy, a real John Wayne type. Only he was a retired shrimper, and nothing cowboy about him. I teased Bobby that she once swore to never do a white man.
"Well I been through every other race, white was all that was left. And the man's a giant... I mean between the legs". She joked. "He's the biggest I ever had or seen and I've had and seen a lot." We laughed at the fact.
I told Bobby that I'm still married with John and were retired and living the bored life. She sensed a indifference in my tone. I never could hide much from her. "I hope it's nothing serious, she pressed."
"Besides getting older, John's completely impotent."
"No you have got to be fucking kidding me!" She about hit the floor. "For how long honey?"
"Since the kids were in high school. And they've been out of college and with families of their own for years now."
