Mature Man & Maiden Maureen, Ch. 02
Mark, a much older man, befriends a much younger woman.
Continued from Ch. 01, Mature Man & Maiden Maureen
Still, sexual desire haunted me and my lust for Maureen tortured me. Realistically, why would she love me? I'm an old man compared to her. She'd certainly have emotional issues, a father complex, to fall in love with a man twice her age. Yet, if only she did, if only she could, and if only she would, I'd be so happy and, hopefully, I'd make her so happy, too.
Today, she looked a bit down, almost sad. I wondered what was wrong. She only smiled when watching her dog interact with my dog. Mostly quiet while walking, she wasn't as talkative as she usually is.
I gave her more space without interrupting her thoughts with unnecessary conversation. Perhaps, not wanting to know, I didn't dare ask her what was wrong. Yet, I wanted to know what was wrong. Still, I didn't know her well enough to intrude upon her private life and her troubled thoughts.
Besides, I was happy just to be there with her. No doubt, I was a bit selfish in the fact that I didn't want to ruin our time together by pressuring her to tell me what was bothering her. Yet, my good time was weighed down by her limited conversation that were filled with her bad thoughts.
Yet, no matter, how she felt or the reason why she felt how she did, I wanted to offer her my shoulder. I wanted to offer her more than my friendship; I wanted to offer her my love. I wanted to reach down and take her hand in mine and walk away with her.
Alas, not to be, never to be, out of my ability to win her heart, she was so very young. How old was she? I never asked her, but if I were to hazard a guess, maybe, she was 25-years-old, half my age.
Definitely, I'm old enough to know better. I'm old enough to know that she'd never be interested in a man like me, a man past his prime, and a man embittered by life and no longer carrying the torch of idealism. Indeed, I was old enough to be her father.
Whenever she left me, after the brief time we were together, she made me feel old, vulnerable, sad, and ridiculous for me to think that she'd want me. Yet, when I was with her, when I was in her presence, I felt young, energetic, and alive. Her youth and zest for life was contagious. She rejuvenated me. She was my addictive elixir and my fountain of youth.
Never has an hour been as pleasurable and gone by so quickly. Never has a walk through the woods of the dog park been so enjoyable, and dialogue between two people been so free, so easy, and so interesting. Not only did I love looking at her but also, I loved talking to her. I wondered how many people at the park thought that we were father and daughter, boyfriend and girlfriend, or strangers walking their dogs.

"What's wrong?'
I said finally asked her. Suddenly, with her acting so quietly sullen, I seized upon the moment. I felt secure enough by the openness of our conversation, and in our quickly, growing friendship to ask what was troubling her. Instead of telling me what the matter was, she gave me a vague answer.
"Oh, nothing,' she said.
She waved a disinterested hand after a long, thoughtful pause. Then, she looked up at me, took me in her confidence, and confessed why she was so sad.
"I'm having boyfriend troubles," she said looking up at me before looking down at the ground
As if the grass held all of her answers, she continued staring down at the ground while walking.
An unexpected confession, her words stuck me as if a knife to my heart. As soon as she said the word boyfriend, I was jealous. Suddenly, I pictured her naked and orgasmic in the throes of lustful sex, while in the arms of her young, hot boyfriend. The thought of his cock in her mouth and her blowing him angered me. The thought of his prick in her pussy while fucking her made me wish that I was her boyfriend.
I imagined him tall, handsome, and wealthy. Surely, a woman this desirable, this sexy, and this beautiful was most deserving of such a man as that. Suddenly, as if from out of nowhere, surprising me and shocking her, her boyfriend appeared from out of nowhere and before us.

Mature Man & Maiden Maureen, Chapter 02:
Maureen accepts Mark's housing invitation, after breaking up with her boyfriend.
"Is this what you do? You meet men here," he said looking at her with anger before looking at me with even more anger.
Surprising me by his hostile reaction to seeing me with her, he looked at her with a face full of rage and at me with a look of deadly jealousy.
"Is this the guy you always talk about," he asked raising his chin while tossing his head? He pointed at me while shooting me a look of distain. "Are you Mark?"
I stepped closer to him.
"Yes, I'm Mark. You must be Maureen's boyfriend. I'm pleased to meet you," I said.
I put out my hand for him to shake and withdrew it, when he snubbed me with another lift of his chin and another toss of his head.

Always talk about? She always talks about me? I've made quite the impression on her for her to always talk about me to her boyfriend. Suddenly, I felt lighter, younger, and taller. Suddenly, I felt as if I was an important part of her life. Suddenly, I felt like Tomas in Milan Kundera's book, 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being.'
"Come home now! I'm sick of you disappearing for hours with this flea bag of a dog.' He looked down at her puppy with jealousy and then back up at her. "The dog must go. You decide; it's either me or the dog!"
Not much of a decision there, I knew Maureen well enough by now to know that he was a goner with that stated ultimatum. She'd never part with her dog. Already too connected, she loved Missy and Missy loved her.
Surprisingly, her boyfriend wasn't very tall. He was short. With me towering over him, he was shorter than me by a several inches.
He wasn't very good looking either. Average in appearance, at best, he had a potbelly and a receding hairline already forming at his young age. If I say so myself, I was better looking them him.
With me nicer than him and loving her dog, I could see why she enjoyed spending her time with me at the dog park. I was better than him in every way except for my age. If I was his age, they'd be no contest. I'd be able to win her heart and steal her away from him.
