"Tis all fiction, not a word is true!
If you believe that god knows all things, then it follows that what is to be will be, the future is predetermined, unchangeable, and therefore there is no free will. If you agree with that, then at the moment of creation it must have been written in god's cosmic plan that my wife would divorce me and in so doing she carried out god's will three years ago. And with my blessing, because God's will or not, it was probably for the best as we really did have irreconcilable differences, and in asking for a divorce, she gave voice to what I was thinking.
I've always thought that once you decide to divorce your wife, there's no point in telling her she can't cook, so I mostly succeeded in not saying anything cruel, or even negative to or about her amidst the pain of divorce, and there's no need to do so now, other than to say what she is looking for in life is something quite different from what I am, and she was a fool for not realizing that before marriage. I don't regret those years because she gave me a beautiful baby boy, but I do regret that she took him with her as I was unable to be custodial parent.
It took six months for the divorce to become official. I celebrated receipt declaring the dissolution of the marriage by myself, well my son was with me, but the finality of a divorce from his mother was not something to share with him. I've not been as lonely as I expected, mostly because of a heavy overload at work, and caring for my son most weekends left little time, energy, or frankly desire for a social life. I'm self employed with an erratic work load over which I have little control, so even during periods when there's lots of work, I hate to turn any away because in a few months there may be very little work, hence make hay while the sun is shining.
While I have not been actively looking for female companions, I've been thinking about what I would like. Now we are all different in our tastes in women and this internet age is a problem. Before the internet age we couldn't be so particular because we never saw all that many naked women. I seriously doubt my father saw more than a handful of adult vaginas in his life but now in three minutes can see a hundred of them, and there are a lot of differences! I like the ones whose inner lips are big, that protrude past the puffier outer lips. I think I'd just love to suck on those lady bits, and the more and bigger they are the better. Haven't seen one in the flesh, and I can't say how common such pussies are, but there's a website that specialized in pictures of women on their hands and knees, and about half show the pussy and ass from the rear, and or theses, about one in 40 or 50 has the labia minor poking out.
And while we are on the subject, I like the smell of a pussy, and a hairy pussy smells better. May be weird to some, but it's how god made them.
A second female characteristic that I don't care so much for pink nipples, I like the darker ones, and probably not coincidentally, such women often have hairy pusses', or maybe the dark hair just looks thicker. Which is probably good because the one dark haired woman I knew who shaved, her pussy looked like Homer Simpson's chin.
I dated some young women, but nothing clicked. The dating scene is something else, isn't it? I began thinking I should look for someone closer to my own age and somebody who, like me, was not much interested in casual, promiscuous sex. If they had some kids, I was all right with that too.
I spent a few months idly looking, took a few people out for lunch or dinner and nothing clicked until one day something inside me changed. I felt the fog of broken love lifting, it's taken over two years, but finally I'm feeling better and damn near all women are looking really good to me again. In fact I've noticed a nice looking woman in the supermarket a couple of times in the last month or so...didn't see any rings on her left hand. A week later she was in the checkout line, a couple of people behind me and I caught her eye, smiled, and she nodded and returned the smile. As I left with my groceries, she was still in line; I stalled a bit, looking at the video rental machine at the door so as to let her catch up.
I watched her out of the corner of my eye, coming towards me so I headed towards the door just ahead of her. I intended to hold the door for her, make eye contact again, say hello and imagined we would fall in love and live happily ever after, except that I couldn't hold the door for her because it opened automatically when I stepped in front of it, which I guess had known, but momentarily forgotten. Plans abandoned, I just carried on with the rest and with heart pounding turned to greet her as she emerged onto the sidewalk:
"I hope you'll excuse me for speaking to you like this, but I've noticed you a few times in here, and I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Jason Cobb, and I hoped you might have time to walk over to the coffee shop and visit for a bit?"
"Oh, no problem, I'm Leah. I'd love to, really, but I have perishables in the cart."
"Oh, of course, I wasn't thinking of that, right! Ah... I hate to let this fizzle to dust." I smiled and asked: "Reconsider for another time, hopefully in the next few days?"
She looked conflicted, which shifted to a lovely smile:
"Ah Jason. I don't...I'm not really...Ok. I really don't have the time right now, I have to pick up my kids, but how about tomorrow night, about 7:30 at the Starbucks on DeKalb pike? I'll need to be home by 8:30. How's that?"
"That will be fine. No need to get duded up. I'll be there."
As she reached out to touch my arm, she said:
"Jason, I'm glad you stopped to chat too. I've noticed you as well"
"My pleasure Leah...ah?"
"Chalmers"
I didn't quite hear or understand what she said.
"Say again?"
That lovely smile:
"Chalmers, my name is Leah Chalmers."
"Oh. Indeed. Well till then."
The following evening I arrived a few minutes early, planning on waiting to place my order until she arrived, but the door barely shut before she came in right behind me.
"Leah, I am delighted. I got here a little early so as not too be late."
"The same here, for fear of being late I'm here a bit early too.., not wanting to keep you waiting and all."
Clearly we were both nervous. There was no line, and neither of us ordered a fancy drink, so were quickly sitting in hard seats chatting.
Sitting sipping coffee, she opened the conversation with a pleasant laugh:
"I do so love complements, so what was it about me you noticed?"
"Hmm, yes what did I notice about you? Well of course the easy answer lies in generalities, but I don't think you would settle for that, would you?"
"No Jason, the devil is in the details. Tell me all."
"Well I'm delighted there is certainly devilment in the details that I noticed. I know how not to answer your question. Let me tell you a little story. When I was a kid, 16, 17 years old, I worked part time for a guy who had two daughters much older than me and I now realize he looked upon me as a surrogate son. We could work and talk at the same time, so one time, I suppose grasping for a conversational thread, I asked him how he met his wife. He started out rambling on about the nature of women, something I knew nothing about then, and probably haven't learned enough since...anyway, after they had been going out for a while, in a romantic mood she asked him more or less the very same question you just did. He responded to her:
"I was sitting in class and looked across the room, you were sitting a couple of seats over in the same row by the window, you know, in profile. 'Had on a blouse with vertical stripes, and, those stripe went way out to here, and then way back in to here, silhouetted in the light and all, and I thought to myself boy would I like to get my hands on those."
Now Jason, had I been wiser I would have told her it was her lovely eyes that attracted him to her."
Leah laughed heartily and unselfconsciously.
"Well, I'm nothing much up there, so if you hadn't remembered the words of that wise man just now, you were going to tell me...what?"
"You're quite good up there, no man will be disappointed, nor babies go hungry....truthfully, I was following you up the aisle, and I thought the view quite nice... especially your hair."
She wasn't amused, and replied with no humor:
"So you got the hots for a flat chested, middle aged, over weight mother with a big ass and wire hair."
"Naw, if I saw anyone like that I wouldn't have been too interested, but you should know I'm not attracted to women who look like 14 year old boys. I like natural women looking like god intended them to look, and what I saw was a woman with a lush head of jet black hair, with the promise of more where I couldn't, just at that moment, see. And of course a lovely rump with shapely legs. And a few minutes later, when I saw you from the other side, a face with glistening dark eyes, high and wide cheek bones, full lush mouth, perfectly nice boobs, and erotically rounded belly and thighs. And of course lovely legs made to wrap around a man. That's what I saw."
She was listening with those glistening eyes looking into mine; silent a moment, the smile came back:
"Well, you are cleverer than your mentor. What's that about that hair you can't see?" she said with twinkling eyes.
I love flirting, smiling:
"Noo I didn't say that."
"You did. I distinctly heard you say that. What did you mean?"
I chuckled:
"Leah Chalmers! That is a very personal question, very intimate, and the general public needs to be protected from that information," I glanced around conspiratorially, as if looking for eve's droppers and chuckled.
"Lean forward now, and I will whisper this in your ear." We were both laughing as she leaned forward a bit.
"Nope! Closer yet!"
She laughed again and leaned in very close:
"Oh goody! Deep dark secrets! Tell me all!"
I leaned in as well, placed my hand on her opposite cheek to keep her from pulling away, I was pretty sure she would welcome the intimacy, so I whispered breathily with my lips brushing her ear:
"Yesss in your case dark secrets, dark hair, very thick, very dark indeed!" My fingers were toying with her hair. "I told you I like women as god made them, hmmmmh? And I was thinking that your lady bits would be covered with a lovely fur."
Leah choked with laughter blushing furiously.
"Oh my god! I can't believe you told me that! How very pervy you are!" More laughter she placed a hand on my arm and leaned forward a bit with a clearly false smile,
"You're kidding, aren't you."
I motioned her forward, but this time she bent forward eagerly, and again into her ear.
"Seriously, I like a hairy pussy, I love to munch fur!"
She pulled her head back in surprise, "Oh my god, you're serious!"
I winked at her and nodded my head, "So Leah, now I get to ask you the big question, do you or don't you?" as I pantomimed shaving my cheek.
She stared at me, eyes glanced quickly around, and still blushing with smiling eyes, silently, with exaggerated movement of her lovely lips opening wide and projecting out, mouthed the word NO, also hinting at a love of fellatio. I smiled rolled my eyes, and said:
"If you own a bass boat and a bar, we can get married tonight."
"WHAT? Ahh...You like to fish?"
"Nah, it was a punch line for an old joke. No to the fishing, and as to owning a bar, a beer or a glass of wine is good from time to time. I really like good food, enjoy cooking and can do about anything around the house with my hands. How about you?"
