So I am officially getting old. I am turning 50 this year. That also means that many of my childhood and college friends are, too.
I have never been one to make a big deal about birthdays, and most of my friends haven't made big deals about their birthdays, at least since 21. Fifty seems to be one that is different. Some of us plan to do nothing, and others want to pull out all of the stops. One invited a bunch of us to join a safari and Kilimanjaro climb. Sadly, didn't work with my schedule. Others are throwing bashes that resemble a large wedding reception. Some want to go to Vegas or Cabo for a weekend.
My college best friend/ roommate planned a trip to Thailand. Surprisingly, 17 of his friends and about 10 of his family members made the trip. It is not easy or cheap to get to Thailand, and this was early December, right in the middle of the holidays. So I didn't expect that many to attend.
Mark and I lived in different parts of the country. I live in California and he stayed in the Midwest where we went to school and near where he grew up. We hadn't seen much of each other in recent years. Usually once or twice a year.
He is very financially successful. My wife and I are reasonably so. But the way he and his wife spend when we get together is out of the norm for us. When we got together, he also partied like we were still in college. His wife says he barely drinks most of the time, but every couple of months when he sees old friends he goes all out.
The party was three nights in Koh Samui, but my wife and I decided to make it a 14-day trip with a couple of nights in Bangkok, a trip to Siem Reap, and a couple of nights in Chang Mai. We had never left the kids for that long, but figured it was a rare opportunity to go on a trip with just us.
My wife, Kim, is beautiful. Blonde, 45, thin, 5'6" with great b-cups, even if she thinks she needs augmentation. I love them. The shape, the way they hang, the size of her areolas, her long nipples that get hard so easily (which makes her very self conscious but turns me on so much when they poke through).
I am Ben. Almost 50. Average height, a little above average weight, average looking. I always think I have a big, warm personality because I need to compensate for all of the average. But it seems to work for me. I usually make easy acquaintances in new groups and I chose a career field where likeability is a plus.
Our sex life has been lacking for years. Sex is really good when we have it, but it is too infrequent. Kids, work, stress, health, lots of things seem to get in the way. I was hoping this trip would be a chance to reconnect sexually.
Well it didn't start that way. Bangkok was a whirlwind. She was too tired when we got there. Then we got fitted for new suits (Narry Tailor is fantastic), saw the sights, etc. It was only two nights and the time change robbed us of some time.
So then I thought the island would be our chance to have fun. We got there in the early afternoon and hit the beach. Mark had a dinner planned for 8 p.m. so beach, sex, and nap was my goal.
The hotel sat on a bay. The water was warm and not deep. Maybe 3-4 feet for hundreds of yards out, with a couple of spots deeper and shallower.
My wife was looking so sexy in a two-piece with her nipples poking out how I like them. Of course she almost didn't wear it out of the room because she was concerned about her nipples. I told her the bulk of the group wasn't expected to the hotel until 5 so we wouldn't see anyone we know.
We swam and flirted. Kissed a bit. It was finally going to plan for me. We stopped at the resort's beachside restaurant bar for a snack to tide us over until dinner and then planned on a nap (sex? I hoped).
As we sat there a woman walked by wearing a tiny bikini with a perfect ass. We both noticed. My wife always notices pretty women and points them out to me. She even gets small girl crushes, but never has shown any inclination to act on it. The best part is she never gets jealous when I see a pretty woman.
I couldn't see the woman's face as she was facing away. She had a firm ass with just the right curve to it. It wasn't a thong bottom, but very small. I couldn't tell if she was 25 or 45. Her ass was amazing for any age.
Our food came and as we were eating we hear, "Benna! Benna!" in a loud excited voice. We look up and the woman with the amazing ass is running toward me and kind of jumps in my lap to give me a huge hug.
My usually understanding wife does not look pleased. I am confused. How does she know my name? And only friends from college call me Benna. Everyone else, even my wife, calls me Ben or Benny. Benna started with Mark our freshman year in the dorms (Benna as in been a long time) and it stuck throughout college. We were stoned one night and he thought it sounded funny. I never minded, just never adopted it for personal use.
I don't recognize her. And she can tell when I don't reciprocate her excitement. She sits in my lap and says, "You don't remember me?" Not in an insulted tone, just a curious one. "I'm Alex. Mark's cousin."
Holy shit. Mark's cousin Alex had come to stay with us a few times during our senior year. She was a junior in high school and was looking at our college and others in the area. But Alex was rail thin and cute. This person in my lap had an amazing ass, c cups pushing to get out and hard nipples, like my wife's.
She then gets up and says, "If Benna is going to be rude and not introduce us, I'll do it myself." She gives my wife a huge hug and introduces herself.
Now that it is all clicking with me I stand up and give her a big hug and apologize for not recognizing her. As my head was spinning from all of this unexpected excitement, I didn't realize I was half erect and it clearly showed through my swimsuit. Which my wife noticed, not sure Alex did though who am I kidding, she probably felt it when she was on my lap or when I got up to hug her.
Alex is now 44, not 17. She has filled out incredibly. She has a Midwestern-looking face. That description makes sense to me, not sure how else to describe it. She is cute and pretty. She has a flat stomach, nice legs, large breasts for her frame, and the aforementioned perfect ass.
She sat down with us and we caught up a bit. Though my wife was caught off guard by the unorthodox introduction, she clearly liked Alex, too. Alex was smart, funny, and personable.
She divorced about a year ago and had two kids about the same ages as ours. She lived in the same medium-sized Midwestern city where she grew up. She did end up going to the same college as Mark and I did.
When she came to visit during college, she was so young. There was no sexual chemistry. She seemed like a kid. A fun kid. We took her out to parties. Let her drink. I remember her hinting about a wild side, but we brushed it off as a kid trying to seem older.
