Introduction:
"Mid-life crisis" are real...Some men will get a new car and others a mistress. I have done neither but my mind is on overdrive and there are no topics that seem to be off limits. My fantasies combine real life factoids and my imagination on steroids. Hope you enjoy my initial Literotica effort. Comments are welcome.
Chapter 1 involves a woman that worked for me and my damn ongoing mid-life crisis...
A mentor to her and in all the right ways; along with my vivid imagination of what could evolve.
After she left the company where we worked together, I did engage her ...Below is a combination of reality and fantasy...
Laura:
Involved in the hiring of Laura about 6+ years ago, just out of college, when she had just turned 23. .
Nice young woman and very good from a technology point of view like much of her generation.
Laura is attractive and laughs easily She lacked confidence when we hired her but it was enjoyable to see her grow into a young professional.
Always encouraged her to speak up and take chances, in short to go outside of her comfort zone.
We had some fun conversations, mostly kidding back and forth during her tenure.
Remember one such time when she was heading to New Orleans for a bachelorette weekend.
Told her to behave reasonably decently to which she just laughed.
So tempted to challenge her upon returning to work to share one thing that she did outside her comfort level while in New Orleans but bit my tongue...
Mind Starts to Wander:
Friendly with most of the people in the department and on occasion would join them for a beer or two after work on Friday, pick up the bill and leave. They would continue on with their younger colleagues, male and female.
Mentioned to one fellow, Chuck, who worked with Laura that she was on her way to New Orleans for a bachelorette party.
Chuck responded, "knowing Laura it will be a weekend of what happens in New Orleans stays in New Orleans"
I was both surprised and intrigued...
"Really, Laura?", I was incredulous.
Chuck raised his eyebrows and said,
"Laura has been known to enjoy herself.
Find a guy for some fun over a couple of months and move on...
In fact, I think Laura can be a very dirty girl and possibly a bit kinky"
Chuck was clear that these were his impressions and he had no personal knowledge but based on what he heard thought there was a fair amount of truth in what he said...
" outwardly in public, rather shy but can be very slutty in the bedroom"
"Well Chuck, this has been a very interesting conversation" and reminded him that "what is said in the bar remains in the bar ".
With that I picked up the couple rounds of drinks for the members of the team said good night and was off.
The Fantasies
Mind is in overdrive, thinking of Laura as "a bit kinky". Have always loved the ones that tended to have different public and private personas. In addition, there is something so hot about helping a good girl - go bad.
That said, I'm twice her age and really have no interest in anything long term with such a young woman. But damn this mid-life crisis and where my mind goes. Always hot, frequently kinky, and "what happens in your mind stays in your mind" or at least that is what I thought.
The Condo:
Laura returned from her New Orleans weekend. Made sure to stop by and ask her, how it went and assumed she had behaved reasonably well.
She smiled and replied,
"you know me, always the good girl but had fun"
There was a slight twinkle in her eye as she replied, but was it my imagination based on Friday's bar conversation with Chuck or was she flirting?
Damn this mid-life crisis!
She then proceeded to tell me after living at home for 3 years while she saved money and paid off student loans was now ready to purchase a small Condo.
I was truly very happy for her, told her thought it was great and sure she felt it was time to be on her own and not have to worry about checking in on Saturday night with the parents.
Also reminded her that her parents provided her a roof after college and be thankful they did so.
She both acknowledged the parent's generosity and the desire to be on her own.
"Not having to check-in - priceless!", she said
Damn, there was that twinkle in her eye again...
The Invitation:
Over the next 3 months Laura bought her condo, did renovations and finally moved in.
She shared the pictures of the renovations and she had very good decorating instincts.
Laura was proud of her work and pointed out how she tried decorating things she had never tried before.
Ever the encourager said, "I bet your good at lots of things"
She immediately replied, "What?"
I had not realized how my statement could be interpreted and there was no intention to have a double meaning to my comment or did my mid-life mind take over again.
Quickly went on telling her again that she is a talented woman and will be good at just about anything she chooses to do.
"Regardless, the reason I stopped by is to give you a nice bottle of Champagne. A "house warming" gift.
Now, don't share this with just anyone as it is a very nice bottle of champagne"
She thought for a moment, hesitated and said,
"Would you like to join me for dinner and champagne and see my condo?"
Talk about double meanings!
"Well Laura, I would be honored, But don't want your colleagues to think your sucking up (that one was intentional) to your boss, so let's keep this between us. If you can do that then I would enjoy sharing a dinner and champagne and seeing your Condo"
We set a "date" the following Thursday. Over the next week I was all business, stopping by her work area less than usual.
The day before the dinner she provided me her address.
Told her was looking forward to it and would see her the following evening.
Laura Shows Me Her Condo
I wore a nice tan sports jacket, a blue shirt and slacks. Nice but not overdone and had no idea what Laura would wear.
With her generation, dungarees, sweat pants were possibilities
Arrived 4 minutes after the appointed time and even bought a bottle of red wine to accompany the Champagne.
"Wow" was all I could say as Laura answered the door.
Wearing a dark grey blouse, short black skirt, black stockings and nice heels.
Her eye make up matched the blouse and her lipstick was red, a color she never wore at work.
Kissing her cheek and handing her the bottle of wine commented how fantastic she looked.
"Yes, I can clean up nicely", commented Lauren.
"You look beautiful, very sophisticated. A June Cleaver look". I commented.
"Who?", replied Laura.
Laughing and a bit embarrassed and feeling old, which I am.
" Growing up. Leave it to Beaver was a TV show. June Cleaver, the very domesticated wife, would prepare dinner always dressed up and looking fabulous"
"Sometimes, I like being domesticated", said Laura, as she walked into the kitchen and handed me the corkscrew to open up the wine.
"Normally, I would open the wine myself. But since I'm feeling very June Cleaver like and you're in charge tonight, you do it", said Laura
There goes my mind again and I think I'm starting to stare - damn this mid-life crisis.
We sip the champagne and chit chat,
"Would you like to see the Condo?" asked Laura
"If it's okay with you, let's wait . Have cocktails, dinner, chat and then show me around", was my reply.
Light appetizers, a toast to the Condo, a clink of the glasses, dinner and a bottle of wine followed.
Lot's of laughs, despite agreeing not to talk shop, she tells me how everyone at work respects me and most even like me.
Laura blushed and says, "some of the women even think that I have a thing for you and they tease me"
"Well, I'm flattered that they would even think such a young, attractive woman as yourself would find me appealing", I reply.
There was a moment of awkward silence, which I break by laughing and saying,
"Come on, let's clear the dishes and you can show me how you decorated and put your own touch on the condo"
Laura jumped up and together the dishes are cleared and the final glasses of wine are poured.
