I work out of town and hadn't seen my wife in 4 weeks. The trip home takes approximately 4 hours and is an easy drive. My wife, M, always knows when I am coming and I always call her hands-free when I am about an hour away. She likes to know that I am safe.
The drive is an easy drive, and I was extremely excited to be in my wife's arms again, even if only for a weekend. Our last visit had been one of the best weekends of my life. The time we spent apart made everything about being together again that much better. But of course it was too short. I started missing her as soon as I left and I couldn't wait to see her again.
I was a little over an hour away so decided to call.
"Hello." she answered on the 4th ring.
"Hey babe, I'm about an hour away. Can't wait to see you." I said.
"Uhhm...Ohhh...okay..."
I thought that was a strange way to answer.
"Everything okay?" I asked.
"Everything is...oooh...very much okay." She replied with a bit of a moan.
I thought perhaps I had caught her masturbating, so I pursued with a comment,
"Whatcha doin?"
Her answer was just another moan. I could tell something was going on.
"Oooh noo!...ok...ok..." She struggled to say, then "stop...stop..."
Stop stop, I thought? What the hell??
Then, little out of breathe, she quickly voiced,
"Just, let me call you back," (then under her breath) please...Oooh-nooo...
(then regular voice)
...don't worry. I'm really ok. Just give me a bit. I will call you back"
Then nothing. She hung up. Just like that. I thought again, what the hell? So I waited for her to call. Half an hour went by and still no call, then when I was 25 minutes away my phone rang. I answered through Bluetooth and actually said,
"What the hell, M? Is everything ok?"
"Very ok. I just got home from the grocery store and was busy putting away groceries."
"Didn't really sound like that. You don't like putting groceries away enough to make those noises, haha." I commented.
"Fair enough."
There was a long pause, long enough for me to ask,
"You still there?"
"Yes. Hold on...give me a second." She said.
"Ok, here goes.
I was at the grocery store, going through the checkout, and a store employee offered to help me when he saw me struggling to put my groceries in my backpack. He actually grabbed some bags and gave them to me. Obviously, I had purchased too many items for my backpack. Once I had filled my backpack and the bags he gave me I started to head out. This is when he stopped me and asked me if he could help carry my bags to the car. I thought it was a fantastic display of kindness, but of course I had no vehicle, so I told him I was walking, thanked him, and turned to leave. He said that he was just getting off shift, and if I didn't live too far away and could wait a few seconds for him to clock out, he would be glad to help carry my bags for me.
He was quite young, perhaps late 20s early 30s, and quite good looking although I could smell that he used Axe body wash...ugh. Obviously, it must have been stronger at the start of his shift thank goodness, so it was not overpowering. I also noticed his hands when he was helping me with my groceries, and they actually reminded me of yours, Mr. sausage fingers.
I accepted his offer, and we left the grocery store together with him carrying two bags and me with my backpack and one bag.
