Several hours later, the wine was gone and the ladies left. It was still early, only about 4 in the afternoon and well before the after-work crowd on their way home filling the streets. The women would have no trouble getting home.
Bill walked down to the store, whose bulletin board still held the notice that made his last few days with such sexy women possible, to get another bottle of wine. He planned on a quiet evening of TV watching and getting to bed early.
He finished his dinner, cleaned up the dishes, and set down in front of the TV with a glass of wine when the phone rang. He thought it strange since he had few friends and couldn't remember that last time anyone called him. It must be a telemarketer, he thought as he picked up the phone.
"Hello," he said into the receiver.
"Hi Bill, this is Jill from this afternoon and I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed our playtime today," the female voice on the phone responded.
"Hi Jill. This afternoon was unbelievable. I've never experienced anything like that before and I hope to see you again soon." Bill announced.
"You mean all of us together, or just me?" Jill asked with a bit of a laugh in her voice.
"Seeing as how you are the one who called me, I'd have to say I'd like to see you and could you wear that outfit you wore this afternoon?" Bill answered.
"You liked that, did you?" She asked, then added, "I liked showing off for you."
Bill could not allow this to pass without extending an invitation. "Are you busy tonight?" He asked.
Bill heard he laugh over the phone, "No, but I wouldn't want to wear you out. Besides it would be unfair of me to keep you all to myself. That said, I'll be at the senior center tomorrow if you want to invite me for coffee."
"I'll be there and thinking of you out of your street clothes," Bill responded.
"See you then," she replied and ended the call.
The next morning an excited Bill arrived at the senior center at 8 o'clock in the morning. Luckily it was only a few blocks from his home since the sign on the door indicated that they didn't open until 10 AM. He took the opportunity to follow his doctor's advice and go for a walk and a half hour later he stepped back into his house after walking at least a mile. He poured himself another cup of coffee and sat on his porch to watch the morning exercise nuts stroll by. He said hi to everyone and most returned the greeting.
He recognized one woman who walked by, but wasn't sure who she was until she said hi to him. It was Carol from yesterday; he didn't recognize her with her clothes on.
"Hi Carol," he replied, "are you planning on going to the senior center later?"
"No, today's not my day, but Jill should be there today," she answered.
"What do you mean by 'not your day'?" Bill asked.
"I'm not sure you noticed, but the senior center is boring, that's why several of us created our own little group and one or two of us are always at the center looking for protentional playmates. We can then call the others to let them know if anyone interesting is there. That's how we found you." Carol explained.
"Are you saying that I've already met all of the women who are interested in going for coffee?" Bill asked.
"Pretty much, there are a few guys who come to the center every once in a while, looking for some playtime and there are a few women who are sometimes interested, but for the most part the center if filled with bitter old women who complain about everything," she answered.
They chatted for a bit longer and Bill made sure he had her phone number before she continued on her walk.
Bill thought about the insight Carol had shared with him and concluded that if the only women that were interested in erotic playtime with him were the 6 or 7, he's already met, he'd be good with that. He still planned on heading down to the senior center at 10 when they opened.
He didn't remember giving Jill his phone number, but if, as Carol had said, this group shared information with each other, then Shirly must have given it to her. Shirly had asked for his phone number that first day.
Bill walked back to the Senior Center a little after 10 and was again greeted by Cindy, the young administrator of the center.
"Hi Bill, I'm happy to see you back. We missed you yesterday. I hope everything is alright," she greeted.
"Yes, everything is fine, I just got busy yesterday. What's on the agenda for today?" Bill asked.
"The group activities don't start until 1:00 PM and today we will be doing some directed exercises specifically developed for seniors. I'm sure you'll enjoy it," she answered, "Right now it's just getting to know the neighbors. There are games on the tables if you're interested."
Bill thanked her and started to walk around the center and seeing if he recognized anyone. He saw no one that he remembered meeting, so he decided to take a risk and start introducing himself to some of the ladies there. His doctor had instructed him to be more social, so off he went.
He noticed a not unattractive woman by the table full of games and walked over to her. She had a scowl on her face as if she wasn't happy with the choice of games available.
Bill approached her and announced his presence, "Hi, I'm Bill and I just started coming here because my doctor told me to get out and socialize more." He reached out his hand as if to shake hers.
She stared at his extended hand then looked up at his smiling face. The scowl seemed to be a permanent feature of her face. She then started to speak and Bill regretted approaching her, "Do you think it's right for a son to totally ignore his mother?"
Bill stammered, "Well, no. I think a son should at least phone his mother as often as he can."
"It's not too much to ask. After he married that woman, she took him away to another state and she's the reason he won't call," she paused to take a breath and it seemed to Bill that she was just getting started on a long rant. "And another thing, why did she insist he quit his job here to move clean across the country to take a god-knows-what job. She claimed it was so that he would make more money, but in reality, she's nothing but a gold-digger. She needed to get him as far away from his mother as she could," she took another breath and Bill took his opportunity.
"Excuse me for just a minute. I must have drunk too much coffee this morning. Is that the rest room over there?" Bill beat a hasty retreat, getting as far away from this woman as he could. He had to keep up his ruse so he went into the rest room.
Bill stepped out of the rest room and noticed that the woman was back to looking at the games, but this time she seemed to be mumbling something to herself. Bill didn't care if he was not the focus of her rant. He looked around for someone else to talk to and noticed a very attractive woman sitting by herself.
He approached her, "Hi, is this seat taken?" he asked indicating the seat next to her.
"No, help yourself," she replied with a smile.
Bill thought the smile was a good sign, "My name is Bill and I'm new to this center. My doctor told me to get out and be more social, so when I discovered this center, I decided to give it a try."
"There are a lot of seniors here and they have group activities in the afternoon too," she responded. "My name is Cynthia," she added reaching her hand out to shake his.
Another good sign Bill thought as he took her hand, "I'm pleased to meet you. I have seen the Bingo, and the yoga class. I also understand that there is also a group that likes to go out for coffee after the activities."
"Oh, I don't drink coffee. It makes me all nervous. My late husband drank coffee and it killed him. I miss him dearly, there will never be another like him," she then started to cry.
"I'm sorry to bring up sad memories. What else is there to do at this center?" Bill asked, but the sobbing woman did not hear him; she was lost in her sorrow.
Bill excused himself, and search the crowd for someone else to talk to. He ended up hearing about how the medical community wants everyone to die broke, about how the government is spying on all of us through our TV sets, and how all the water has been poisoned.
No one could say that he did not give this place a fair chance to impress him. He approached the exit intent on heading home when Jill walked through the door.
"Hi Bill," a cheerful Jill greeted him. Her expression changed as she saw his emotional state. "You look frustrated," she said.
"Sorry, it's just that I got here at 10 and thought that maybe I could meet some interesting people," he shared.
