This event I am about to describe took place when I was 20 years old in the little town that I grew up in. The details in this story are true. Unfortunately, I have never experienced a lover like this since then.
It rained off and on for a solid week and there was no signs of it letting up. In the morning we received 10 inches during a downpour that lasted about three hours. Inevitably flooding began as the local river and creek beds became to full. My house was in a low area that did not offer much protection. This had happened about ten years ago so we pretty much knew the drill. To play it safe several churches and the local high school opened their doors so people could take shelter in case it got worse.
I arrived by myself at the high school gym around nine o’clock in the evening. My family was out of town so I looked for some familiar faces in the crowd. There were people everywhere talking about the last time this had happened. Unfortunately, most of my high school friends had moved away and the ones that stayed were not to palatable for passing time in the gym.
I did, however, see my ex-girlfriend’s mother sitting by herself on some bleachers drinking a cup coffee. I had always enjoyed spending time with her because she had kept most of her good looks even though she was probably in her early forties. Her name was Denise and she had been divorced for about five years now from her husband. I remember hearing about her divorce from my ex-girlfriend, who said that her father had cheated on Denise with a waitress from one of our dives on main street. I remember thinking how stupid he was for fucking up a good marriage with a sexy woman like Denise.
I went up to Denise and her eyes lit up when she saw me. She asked me the usual questions about how I was doing, and I gave her my rehearsed answers. I couldn’t believe how good she looked compared to the other mothers in the gym. Her blond hair was at her shoulders and she wore a sexy pair of glasses that still showed off her blue eyes. Now normally I find myself attracted to brunettes, but there was just something about her smile that surrendered my full attention.
She asked me who I was dating now so I had t o confess that I had taken a break from girls for the past six months. She laughed and said that it must be difficult for a guy my age to take such a long sabbatical from woman. This comment made me hot because she was normally reserved in comments about this nature. I returned with my questions concerning the same topic, and she admitted that she stopped dating last summer because the men in our town left something to be desired.
After our initial chat, I asked her if she wanted something to eat so we went to get some food that was being offered for the local refugees of our town. While we ate, I could not help noticing that she opened up about how frustrated it was being a divorcee in our town. I joked that maybe she should find a good woman, and she laughed and playfully slapped my thigh. Her hand lingered the slightest bit on my jeans when she did this. Needless to say I was beginning to have a good time with Denise. I asked her how her daughter was and she said that she lived in a nearby town with a guy, who I remembered from football. She joked that her daughter should have never let me go, because I was a much better pursuit. I turned red at this comment because I am never good at taking compliments.
