****************************************
Lucy called George to dinner "George! This is the third time I'm calling you; your dinner will get cold."
"I'm coming, I told you I was busy! Couldn't wait for five minutes!"
He was typing a message in his chat group "wimp hunters".
G>"Dan, Lucy is calling for dinner again. I have to go. You read what's on that link I sent you, then you can fill us in."
D>"OK but we all notice that you're turning into a pussy-whipped wimp, we're watching you!!!" Dan loved to tease his friends about their wives.
G>"HAHA, I didn't forget that day you got a flu, which lasted only one night. You skipped bowling because Shirley didn't let you go out."
Harry agreed with George
H>"LOL, yeah Dan. We all know you're the wimp here, we're watching you too."
D>"Fuckers, I'll be here at midnight, whoever doesn't come, he eats pussy!"
George laughed and left.
Harry was George's neighbor, married to Holly, Lucy's best friend. Dan, George and Harry had shops in the same area and Harry introduced Dan to George. They were spending only half of their days in the shop, mostly meeting outside to spend time together.
Dan was teasing Harry because he knew Harry loved to eat pussy and that he didn't want this to be known. He learned that from his wife Shirley. Because Harry's wife told her and she told Dan, complaining "Why don't you go down on me?"
Only wimps ate pussy. Harry had to get it together or Dan was going to expose him to George.
George thought eating pussy was a hot thing but he was on the same page with Dan on this. You wouldn't do everything you desired, there had to be limits.
He hit sleep button on his computer and joined Lucy.
They were high school sweethearts. As a matter of fact, she was his sweetheart back then, Lucy wasn't aware of him and she wasn't that into him even when they started dating.
He fell in love with her the minute he saw her but it took two years and a couple of boyfriends for her to notice him. To be accurate, it took two years for George to build up the courage to manage to let her know he even existed.
They were in the same class but George was very timid. He never had a chance to have a decent conversation with girls before and he wasn't desperately in love with her, she probably wouldn't even learn his name let alone talk to him.
His father Jim was an accountant back then and he grew up listening to and observing his 'how to be a man' perception, the creed he lived by.
His mother was a sweet woman but she was weak, so, she wouldn't tell George about her genuine thoughts or feelings if they were different from his father's. But she told him lots of "rights and wrongs" which she didn't actually liked. Because she too internalized the same beliefs; that it was her duty as George's father's wife. That, this was the right thing to do and not to be questioned.
What he learned was that, a man had to bring food, stand strong for the family and that was it. Woman was his responsibility, including her daily actions. If the woman was doing something wrong, it was his fault.
His father reprimanded his mother daily as if he was trying to set an example for George.
One day, his father was beaten seriously and kicked out of the house by George's uncle Terry, his mother's bigger brother. Because uncle Terry caught Jim and his wife. They were having sex in his bed.
Jim left town and they didn't hear from him again.
These were traumatic events for George but interestingly, those had no effect on his father image, he was still his role model.
George could understand that he made a mistake.
He never cared that he cheated on his mother but it was wrong to have something with uncle Terry's whore wife. It was unfair to his uncle.
In short time, the whole family agreed that this slut seduced his father and if he didn't leave, most of them probably would have forgiven Jim. Except the uncle, of course.
Uncle Terry was determined to divorce his wife but she somehow got into his head saying things about their children and how she was sorry. They moved away to another town because there was no place for whores in that family.
Since he didn't kick the whore out Terry became worse than Jim in the family members' eyes. They were still mentioning good things about Jim, feeling sorry that he left. But Terry was a wimp, a whore's dog, the biggest disgrace in the family history. Even Terry's wife lost her seat to Terry, when insults and hatred was considered. Seeing that, Terry became a spineless wimp in George's eyes too.
Anyway, George watched Lucy and dreamed about her for a long time before he managed to say "Hi Lucy, I'm George." when they were seniors.
He thought that she could be into him as well, when Lucy smiled at him and said "Hi" in return.
It took another year and another boyfriend for him to manage to convince himself that he had to ask her out for a date, after high school was over.
Lucy was a lively person. She was cute and also a very beautiful blonde, with a perfect body. Most guys in school adored her. George didn't have much of a chance, obviously. But she was a good person and George was there to listen to her when she was unhappy or heartbroken. That was the only way he could find to stay close to her.
He lacked the appearance and social skills to get such a girl's attention.
In a way, how he was raised and how he was timid when talking to her had a good side. Because, especially when listening to her love life troubles, his real ideas weren't the ones she would want to hear.
He thought that she was wasting her life with those fuckers, she had to find a decent and real man and stop getting tainted. If she went on like that, it was going to be impossible for that "real man" to make her his wife.
At one point she was going to lose her chance to hear the words "make an honest woman out of you" from any decent person. That person was George, of course.
Interestingly, the ideas he was keeping in his head became the key to her heart - or mind -, when he expressed them at the right time.
She was having trouble with her boyfriend Tony in their senior year and he was constantly cheating on Lucy. She loved him and she was walking soft on him when he told her more lies. He was one of the jocks and he had many girls lined up for him.
Since Lucy was hesitant to put out, to stay a virgin until she was sure, he was playing around because of her. That was how Lucy convinced herself. This was her fault.
He wasn't pressuring Lucy much about that issue and she was sure that he was keeping her on the side as the girl he was going to marry after school; she was aware that he wasn't skipping any of the other hotties in school.
Lucy was observing and suffering this, trying to ignore some of it and trying to believe him when he was telling her that he regretted doing that mistake again and again.
George was also watching. He hated that guy, he wanted to beat him up but he was too much stronger than George. And he had strong friends. If George had such friends, he would beat him.
George was also patiently observing Lucy go through all these. He was losing hope. He was a real man, one that a woman would need; he was dedicated to the girl he was in love with and she deserved a guy like George, not that Tony bastard.
He never thought about a girl he wasn't attracted to. He didn't plan to make an honest woman out of a girl who wasn't very beautiful or popular.
But he was a man.
The women had to focus on the decent and secure life the man was offering to them. It wasn't the man's duty to be attractive, men had many other duties and responsibilities already. The woman had to look for the 'real man', it wasn't nice for a woman to care if the man was attractive or if she was attracted to him.
His previous trials to find a girlfriend were all unsuccessful. That was explaining his slow advance and determination on Lucy. She was his last and only project for years.
Being too timid and feeling too insecure, George found himself in the "confidant" chair near Lucy. She was telling him everything. She was even telling him about unnecessary details about her love life. He didn't have to hear "... and he's so strong..." or "... those sluts won't let him live a normal man's life, they must be gossiping around telling how good a lover he is, which he probably is...", but he unfortunately had to endure that.
He wasn't in the position to complain because they were friends. But he was jealous and he felt like she was his without knowing it and hated Tony for messing with his girl, knowing and ignoring the fact that this wasn't true. But he would be right if he managed to make Lucy his wife one day, because Tony would be fooling around with his future wife. He hated to know that and had to wait without interfering.
One day, George managed to say "Shame on you! How can you let him treat you like that? Don't you know how perfect you are? He's not even a man, he's a boy, trying to add meaning to his superficial life. You deserve a real man, treating you right."
He stopped immediately after saying those. It wasn't because of her shocked stare; it was because he heard himself and returned to that insecure version of himself. What he didn't know was that she listened to him. At that time, she didn't see him as a narrow minded and inferior guy, she thought he was too sentimental and timid.
She was feeling miserable all the time that year and those words felt like a safe harbor to her. She wasn't into George, she never looked at him this way. Those thoughts he expressed weren't what she looked for in a guy.
But that was the first moment she thought "There's George, if everything goes wrong in my life..."
