I was kind of wild in high school. I didnât drink a lot or do drugs, but I was always out it seemed, with the popular crowd. I was a cheerleader, and it was kind of expected, I guess. During my junior year, I met John, my future husband. We were kind of an on-again-off-again couple for a while. Then our senior year, we got serious. We finished our senior year, graduated, and got married.
John got a job and we moved away. Eventually, he got a college degree and a good job, and then I followed him. It was hard, but I actually got a two-year degree before our second child was born. We ended up having three kids and living the good life. Until one day, when I found out he had been cheating on me, with a girl he worked with. She was a twenty-something hardbody, and I was a forty-two-year-old mother of three.
Our divorce was long and ugly â he wanted out, and I wanted him to hurt. During that time, I started to work out a lot; trying to stay occupied, and not think about how he had hurt me. Also, my lawyer recommended I not date anyone to make me look more innocent; he said it looked better for me that way, where he was the cheater, and I was the faithful wife.
Finally, it was over. He signed all of the papers, and I was a free woman. One skinny, fit woman, thanks to the year-long divorce. I should mention, at that point, I was 5â3â five-foot-three-inches tall, weighed in at around a hundred-fifteen pounds, with a nice pair of 32Cs to show off. Not that I did, however; I still dressed the conservative mom part â skirts below my knees, blouses properly buttoned nothing changed.
A few weeks later, I ran into one of Johnâs friends, Rick. Rick was always a hound, as John called him, hitting on every woman he could. And he was also very attractive. He asked me out and I turned him down. It just felt weird. But we chatted a bit. Then he told me John was shacked up with a different blonde and they seemed to be very happy. Not sure why he told me, but it kind of made me think. John was moving on, and I was still being faithful.
I went home, thinking about John moving on. I wondered how many whores he had been with in the past year, while I was being the innocent wife. He was the only man I had ever been with⊠that thought seemed to stick with me. I needed to experience more of what life had to offer.
About a week later, I got a text from Rick. He said he was going to a local club with a live band with Sam and Lisa, two of our other friends, and he was looking for a date; he thought it would be a chance for me to get out of the house. We texted back and forth a few times, and finally I agreed. But just dancing. Of course, it turned into dinner and dancing before he was done.
I thought itâd be nice. I hadnât seen Sam and Lisa in a while. It seemed that I lost all of our friends in the divorce. Then something hit me â what to wear. I mean I didnât want to be the proper mom. But I didnât want Rick getting the wrong idea, either. I hadnât been on a date in twenty-four years.
Okay, I called Lisa. âWhat do you wear when you go out?â She laughed, thinking it was funny that I was asking her. In high school, our roles would have been reversed. She told me to just be comfortable, and maybe not my normal mom stuff. Yeah, that didnât help.
Going through all my clothes, I finally settled on a denim skirt and white blouse. The skirt was still mid-thigh, so not exactly a mini. But it looked nice; maybe a little loose, since I had lost so much weight.
Okay, perfect except one thing⊠underneath. The white blouse was kind of sheer. Not exactly see-through, but sheer. It was obvious my bra was not, how should I say it, attractive? I was not going to use the word âsexyâ, even if it was just me thinking about it. Okay⊠new bra. Or, maybe a camisole. Damn it, I was not ready for this. Could I still back out? Hell, it was Rick, he wonât wouldnât care what I wear.
Saturday came too quickly. I did manage to get a new bra. White, with lace trim on the edges of the cups. It wouldnât matter to Rick, but I felt better about it. Okay, all dressed, hair done, makeup⊠why was I so nervous? I put on a little perfume⊠some John had gotten for me. Fuck, I need to stop thinking about that asshole.
Okay, I have some ankle style boots with heels; at 5â3â, I need all the help I could get, with Rick being an easy six feet.
I heard his car as he pulled up. Not wanting to invite him in, I grabbed my purse and headed out. I didnât look around, wondering what the neighbors would say, if they saw me. Why would they careâŠ? why did I care? At the car, Rick whistled, as he opened the door for me.
âDamn, Jill, you clean up real nice.â He winked at me.
I tried to act normal. We made some small talk, as he drove. We had known each other since the first grade; why was I so nervous? I kept telling myself itâd be fine once we got there with Sam and Lisa.
Then, sitting at a red light, âYou okay, Jill?â Rick asked.
âWhat? Oh, yeah⊠Iâm fine. Why?â
âYou seem a little off. You know, thinking about something.â
âYou mean like how weird this is?â I forced a smile.
âYeah, something like that, just I wasnât going to call it weird.â Then, as the light turned green, âLook, weâre just two old friends going out for dinner and a little dancing. Nothing else⊠okay?â
âI know. Itâs just⊠well, you know. I mean we were married for twenty-four years.â
âYeah, I know. But now youâre not married, and you havenât been out in quite a while, thatâs all. Besides, Sam and Lisa will be there, just friends having a good time.â
Finally arriving at the restaurant, we walked in. Seeing Sam and Lisa waiting for us, made me a little more comfortable. We said our hellos, with Sam telling me how nice I looked. Always the gentleman. Then, we sat down and ordered drinks. I decided no alcohol for the time being, and no one said anything about it. Dinner was nice. I started to relax. It had been a long time since I had been out like this - it was actually nice. Of course, everyone struggled to avoid any John talk, me included.
As we finished dinner, Lisa was excited to get to the bar, she loved to dance, and said Sam never took her anymore. I wondered why tonight was different, but didnât dwell on it, but just decided to go along. Back in Rickâs car for the short drive, he reached over and took my hand, âYou sure youâre okay⊠you know, with all this?â
He was being so sweet. âYeah, Iâm good, but thanks for asking,â as we pulled into the parking lot.
âWell, any time youâre not comfortable, just let me know and we can leave.â He smiled.
In the parking lot, he took my arm, as we walked. I wasnât sure if I should be nervous, so I just tried to relax. Inside, Sam found us all a booth and got a round of beers. Okay, I said I wasnât going to drink, but I decided one beer might help.
In no time, Lisa grabbed Sam and they headed out to dance. Rick looked at me, âShall we?â
âSure,â I answered, as he stood and took my hand. In no time, we were dancing. It was kind of nice actually. Rick was always a good dancer.
The song changed and we stayed out. More because I didnât want to be stuck in the booth with him, than anything else, I thought. Occasionally, his hands would touch me. It was normal, nothing wrong. Then, they started to line dance. I had no idea what I was doing, but Rick encouraged me and we stayed out there. He was kind of guiding me through all the steps. I was actually laughing and having a good time. Back at the table, we grabbed some more drinks, as I insisted on staying sober. We were all laughing and having a good time.
After a few hours, I was more relaxed. Rick was holding my hand and casually touching my hips as we danced. Just normal date stuff. Then Lisa grabbed me, and we headed to the restroom.
âSomething I have to tell you, girl,â she started. She went on to explain Rick had planned all of this. Sam would never take her dancing on his own. Rick wanted them there as a buffer to help me relax. âItâs high school all over again.â She laughed. âThe dude wants you, honey⊠thought I should warn you⊠be careful, Iâd hate to see you get hurt.â
I thanked her for the update. âDonât worry, Iâm a big girl,â I answered, as my mind raced. What was Rick planning? I knew what he was planning. Same thing he always was planning, just this time, his plan was with me. I didnât know why, but I wasnât upset. Actually, it was kind of nice to have a guy actually plan somethingâŠ
Back at the table, I grabbed Rick and we went back to dancing. As the night went on, the music seemed to get slower. And by ten pm, we were slow dancing. Rick was holding me kind of close. His hands were still at my hips, but moving slightly. I knew where they were heading, and so did he. I smiled at him, then dropped my head onto his chest, as his hands slipped gently onto my butt. I was freaking out inside, as I struggled to stay still. Then his hands moved, cupping my butt, as he held me tightly against him. Finally, after an eternity, I slowly looked up at him. Our eyes staring into the other's. Ever so slowly, he leaned his head down. My eyes closed, as our lips touched. After a very short, light kiss, âIâm sorryâŠâ he whispered. âJust, youâre soâŠâ
I didnât say anything. I just stretched up and kissed him again, stopping him from finishing his sentence. Then I stopped. What the hell am I doing? He could see the panic in my eyes. We stopped dancing and he took my hand, leading me back to the table, where Sam and Lisa were. My face was bright red, as I sat down and looked over at Lisa. She just smiled at me, and nudged Sam. âWhy donât you two get us some fresh drinks.â
âWhat are you doing?â she asked me.
âIâm not sure⊠it just happened.â I smiled.
âYou liked it?â She smiled back.
âYeahâŠ. Yes I did,â I giggled. âThe kiss and his hands on my ass.â
We went back and forth a few more times, then I motioned to be quiet, as the guys came back. Rick slipped into the booth beside me, closer now than before. We chatted a bit, as we were deciding whether to go home or stay. Iâm sure Sam wanted to leave. Then, I felt Rickâs hand on my leg. I looked at him, and he smiled, pulling my leg tight against his, as his hand found my bare leg below my skirt. I didnât move, as I turned back to talk to Lisa.
Lisa and Sam decided to go. As they stood up, Rick looked at me. âI think weâre gonna stay for one more dance.â
I nodded my agreement, and we all said our goodbyes. As they left, Rickâs hand was inching higher.
âYouâre not going to do that here, sweetie.â I smiled at him.
He played innocent, as he squeezed my legs. âCome on, letâs dance.â He took my hand, and pulled me out of the booth. In no time, we were locked together, his hand firmly on my ass. As he looked down at me, he smiled. âSorry, but your butt is so sexy since you lost all that dead weight.â
I knew he was talking about John.
