I worked with Wilma. She was a store manager for one of our retail stores and I was the inventory control accountant. It was my job to take a physical inventory once a month.
We had three retail stores spread throughout the city. We sold collectible items of very high quality and value, numismatic and philatelic items of interest, coins and stamps, some of which sold for tens of thousands of dollars. In addition we sold all the collectible accessories that went with it, coin holders, stamp albums, hinges, tweezers, magnifying glasses, et al. A time consuming task, taking the inventory of each store took several hours.
Normally women don't confess their age but, for some reason, Wilma told me that she was 42-years-old. She looked younger, thirty-something and I had figured she was in her late thirties. I found out later that she was 45-years-old. Wow, definitely, she didn't look that, didn't even look 42-years-old.
At the time, I was 27-years-old. This was the second time that I was attracted to an older woman, the first older woman I was attracted to was Gertrude, but that's another story for another time. Just as in the case of Gertrude, Wilma was old enough to be my Mom, aunt, or really big and older sister.
More interested in women my age, I really didn't think much of Wilma, other than I thought that she was very pretty, of course, and had a hot body. She was 5'6" and 120 pounds, but she was so much older than me. I figured she'd never be interested in someone my age. Boy, was I wrong. She was a horny little thing.
Hanging around the store taking an inventory, especially when the store wasn't all that busy, Wilma helped me count some of the merchandise and, of course, we'd get to talking, teasing, fooling around, and shooting innuendoes back and forth. Other than she was fun and funny, truly, I didn't think anything of it. I just figured she was friendly, is all, and had a great personality.
She said she used to be a dancer when she was younger, another lifetime ago. She said that she used to enjoy playing tennis at the country club. I figured she was making that up about the country club, because even though she was articulate and intelligent, she didn't look the country club type. A tough broad, she was a little rough around the edges.
I figured her for a local city girl and I was right. She was a local city girl who married well and then divorced terribly. Controlled most of her life by a powerful man, her story was a sad story.
