Chapter One - My perfect life
Some people say that writing down your thoughts is good therapy, well at least that is what my counselor says. So I am going to try it, what do I have to lose that I already haven't lost.
I am Keri Ann Walker, a 35 year old divorced mother of three. I have ten year old twin boys and an 8 year old daughter. I work full time as an emergency room nurse and have since graduating nursing school. Most people say that I am very attractive and could have easily been a model. At five foot even and weighing one hundred pounds, my body is very fit with just the right amount of boobs and butt. I have reddish blond hair and green eyes. My soon to be ex-husband used to just stare into my eyes and would get an erection. I so missed that and him.
I live in a smaller city but is also the county seat. It has a big city attitude but a small town closeness. The Hospital that I work at is the county's only hospital. and as such is quite a large facility. It is affiliated with the state university's medical school, so we get a lot of student doctors coming here to learn their trade. The hospital's emergency room is very busy and I work with a lot of good people. It is here where I met my husband.
When I first started working here, I had my eyes set on latching onto a doctor and becoming a kept wife. Every time there was a new crop of medical students or new doctors come in I was sizing them up. Some of my girl friends and I would invite them out for drinks after work as we would try to find the right guy. I dated several of them and was intimate with a couple. After all, I want marriage and nobody wants to marry a slut.
Some of the married nurses used to make fun of us and say things like we look like hungry vultures waiting to pounce. One of those making fun of us was my friend Joni.
Joni was married and had two kids. Her husband was a firefighter for the county fire department. She and her husband lived on her family's farm outside of town. Her mother owned the farm as her father had passed away a few years earlier. Her father was a firefighter also who died while on duty. He had saved several people and went back into a burning building to search for more victims, when the roof collapsed. He was able to get his crew out saving them, but was not able to save himself. The county had made a memorial to him and even named a park after him. Everyone knew who Jon Walker Sr. was and what a great hero he was. Many families were together today because of his heroics.
Joni also had a brother, Jon Jr. who lived on the farm and had followed in his dad's footsteps. He became a para-medic firefighter and on his days off worked on the farm.
One day, while listening to Joni make fun of us girls, I asked her what she had against us marrying a doctor. Joni replied, nothing, but every doctor I have seen come in here is a wimp. They would never get their hands dirty and are looking for some young nurse for arm candy and to service their needs. Joni continued, I prefer a real man, one who works hard to provided for his family, one who would fight the devil himself to protect his family. I said well that is just in fairytales. Joni said, thank God I live that fairytale every day, because that is how my husband is. She said some day, you are going to find and marry some doctor. You will be spending your life worrying about some other nurse just like you, who will be trying to take him away from you. Look around and see how many of these doctors are divorced.
Now I must admit that this did get me thinking, I did not want to be one of those wives waiting for the axe to fall.
It was a couple of days later that I met her brother Jon Jr. for the first time. He walked into the ER with a patient and I about fell over. Jon was about six feet tall and you could see even in his uniform he was a very muscular and well defined man. He had dark brown hair and hazel eyes. He walked in with an air of confidence. I have never been so attracted to anyone in my life. I noticed that he was very friendly with Joni, so I asked her who he is. Joni looked at me and said. That is my baby brother.
I asked Joni, why had I not seen him before? She replied that he usually works on the rescue truck and not the ambulance, but was filling in today for someone else. I told Joni, I would like to meet him. She looked at me for a second, then she said, Look Keri, I like you as a friend, but I love my brother. I will not introduce you to him as I am not going to let you use him and then hurt him when Mr. Right Doctor comes along. "Forget it" and then she walked away.
Forget it hell. I walked over to him and started talking, I don't even remember what I said. By the time he left, I felt that I was making progress and would surely run into him again soon. Later that day, I ran into a couple of the medics that I knew and asked about Jon. I hinted that I would like to see more of him. They took the bait and called Jon. Now it was a waiting game to see if he would contact me. I must say that I had several erotic dreams about him.
A few days later Joni approached me and said that Jon had asked about me. I asked Joni, what did she tell him. Joni said, I told the truth, however Jon is a big boy and if he wants to go out with you, it is up to him. Of course I was delighted but Joni cautioned me by saying, "don't you dare fuck him over, I would never forgive you for that."
A few days passed and I had not heard from Jon. Joni invited me to come to a BBQ and she told me that Jon would be there. What she didn't tell me was that there would be several single females there also.
The whole day at the BBQ, several women tried to dominate Jon's time. It seems that I was not the only one wanting Jon's affection. Finally, I caught a break and saw Jon head into the house to use the bathroom. I followed him and when he came out of the bathroom, I caught him.
I asked him if he was avoiding me. Jon said well I heard that you wanted to get to know me, but Joni told me that you are hung up on finding a doctor to marry. I will not try to compete with anyone for the love of a woman. Either she loves me and only me or I will move on.
I replied what makes you think that I cannot love one man and only one man. That is exactly what I am looking for. I want to get married and have a family, but most importantly I want to stay married and grow old together.
Jon stared at me for a minute then said, "OK, if you want to go out, how about tomorrow evening. I smiled and said how about tonight.
Jon agreed.
I decided that this guy might be worth it, so I took it slow. We went out and had a good time. After 3 dates I allowed him to kiss me good night. On the fifth date, I invited him into my apartment and we had a really hot make out session. I refused to let it go beyond some really heavy petting. On the sixth date Jon and I had a discussion about where we were heading.
I explained to Jon that I had strong feelings for him, but I was not going to be a notch in his headboard. I needed to know where this was heading. Now to say that I had strong feelings was an understatement. I was flat out, head over heels in love with him. I had never met a stronger yet gentler person in my life. He made me laugh and when he wasn't around I cried. He was kind and respectful. He was everything that I didn't know that I really wanted.
Jon explained to me that he also would not just jump in bed with somebody. He had to care about that person. He wanted that person to care for him and only him. He asked me if I was that person.
I took Jon by the hand and led him into my bedroom. As I started to undress, Jon said, before we do this I want to know. Are you giving up you dream of catching a doctor and are we going to be exclusive.
I kissed him and said "Yes to all."
I would like to say that we had some great sex that night, but it would be a lie. We made love, it was mind blowing, heart stopping love. When we finally finished and as I snuggled into his strong arms, I cried. If I wasn't in love with him before, I sure as hell was now. In all my life I have never had sex like this.
Jon left early as he had to go on shift when we woke up. When he left I wrapped myself in my sheets just to prolong the essence of him. His smell was on everything. Later in the morning, Jon, sent me a text it read, "thank you for the wonderful evening, I hope that it was as special for you as it was for me."
I replied to his text, "Jon, I hope that I am not scaring you off, But, I love you."
Jon replied. "I love you too"
When I received his reply, my legs gave out on me and I sat on the floor crying. I don't know what he did to me, but I was so in love with him. I have never had this feeling before. I must say he has the body of Hercules, the Intelligence of Einstein, the wisdom of Solomon and the compassion of the Dali Llama all rolled into one. I have never met anyone like him before.
