Mature Man & Maiden Maureen, Ch. 11
The love of my life, Maureen, is dead. She's dead. I can't believe she's dead.
Continued from Chapter 10: Mature Man & Maiden Maureen
Maybe, this is it for the threesome. Maybe, Colleen is moving out. Yeah, I bet that's it. Colleen is leaving. Normally, I would have felt bad, really bad, about Colleen leaving, but after what transpired early this morning with Maureen, to be honest, I was glad she was going.
No more threesomes. No more bi-sexual sex of the lesbian kind. I wanted Maureen all to myself. I was no longer willing to share Maureen with anyone, not even with Colleen.
Only, Colleen surprised me, when she fell into my arms crying. I felt bad, really bad. Definitely, she could stay here longer. I wasn't about to kick her out, that's for sure. I cared for her too much.
I held her without saying anything. I waited for her to speak. I waited for her to say something, anything. I needed to know what was wrong. I needed to know why she was sobbing. I just stayed like that holding her and thinking about the sex that I had with Maureen earlier this morning.
I was still glowing from that sexually erotic experience. I was so sexually satisfied, after having sex with Maureen that even though I was naked, I didn't even think about fondling Colleen's big tits or feeling her firm, round ass. My thoughts were with Maureen.
"Colleen, where's Maureen?"
I was hoping that Maureen would take care of Colleen, comfort her, and calm her down, so that I could get up and get dressed.
Colleen just continued bawling. She broke down sobbing. She was shaking, she was crying so hard.
Definitely, they must have had a horrible fight. I wondered what over? I wondered, if it had something to do with me. Maybe, Colleen was in love with me.
Maybe, it had something to do with the secret, whatever that was. Maybe, the secret is that Maureen wanted Colleen to leave. Maybe, that's why she's crying. Maybe, she thinks that by crying that I'll be sympathetic and overrule Maureen. Maybe, she thinks that I'll ask Maureen to allow her to stay, since this is my house after all. My mind rambled with all of the possibilities of why Colleen was crying.
"What? What's the matter, Colleen? Did you two have a fight? What is it? Tell me. Where's Maureen?"
Thinking that she was playing a horrible joke on me, she floored me with what she said next.
"Maureen's dead."

Mature Man & Maiden Maureen, Chapter 11:
Maureen's younger sister, Gwen, the whore of the family, comes for a weekend visit.
The words did not register. I heard them but did not understand them. What nonsense is she saying to me? How can Maureen be dead, when I was just with her early this morning? We had sex. We made love. We fucked.
"There was a car crash...Maureen's dead...Maureen's dead...she's dead."
I pushed her away and sat up in bed.
"Maureen! Maureen!" Figuring that this was a bad joke, I jumped out of bed and searched the house. "Maureen! Maureen!"
I returned to the bedroom to confront Colleen.
"She's gone, Mark. She's gone," said Colleen collapsing with me on the bed.
"What do you mean, she's gone? Maureen! Where are you? Maureen," I yelled while continuing to call out to her!
I looked at Colleen with anger.
"Don't fuck around like this, Colleen. If this is your idea of a joke, this isn't funny," I said pushing at Colleen's shoulder and still not believing her. "This isn't funny," I said again.
I couldn't even bring myself to say the word dead.
"Don't fuck around like this," I said again!
I took her in my arms and shook her.
"That's no joke. That's not fucking funny, Colleen. That's not fucking funny."
Then, I looked in her eyes and I knew that she wasn't joking.

"Where's my Maureen? Where's my Maureen?"
I pulled her to me and just started crying. I was sobbing. Falling into my arms, Colleen submitted herself to me sobbing and sobbing and I knew then that what she said was true. Only, it made no sense, she was just here with me. We made love. We had the best sex that I ever had in my life. How could she be dead?
"When did this happen?"
She looked at me with sadness and hurt.
"Last night."
I looked at her as if she was crazy.
"Last night? When last night? What time?"
She looked at her watch.
"Some time just before eight pm. She was officially pronounced dead by the coroner just before midnight. A drunk driver fell asleep at the..." she said.
As if she couldn't finish saying it, she fell off as if experiencing the car crash all over again. I looked at her with disbelief.
"Where were you?"
Colleen looked at with empty eyes.
"I was at her parent's house. Maureen went out to pick her sister up at a friend's house. On the way there, she was only a few miles from home, when a drunk driver slammed head on into her car," said Colleen through tears and gasps for breath. Had her sister been in the car with her, she would have been dead, too.

I stared at Colleen.
"She was here, Colleen. She was here with me. We had sex," I said.
I looked at her horrified that it was not a dream and all so real.
"We made love. We fucked. She was here with me."
Colleen shook her head while crying.
"No, she couldn't have been with you," she said looking at me, as if I had lost my mind. "With the crash not far from the house, I was at the crash site when they pronounced her dead. Then, I was with her at the morgue. Maybe you were psychically connected to her, but you must have been dreaming. She died at the crash site, Mark. Maureen is dead. She's dead," she said sobbing again.
I looked at her as if she was crazy when I was the one who had lost his mind.
"No, it wasn't a dream. I wasn't dreaming. It was real. Missy...even Missy whined like he does when she comes home from work. I heard her greet her downstairs."
I looked at Colleen and shook her.
"She was here with me," I said insisting that what I said was true. "We kissed. We hugged. We made love. I was holding her. We both fell asleep."
Colleen wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me. Then, she whispered the truth in my ear.
"Mark, she's gone."

There was a long pause, where we just held one another without either of us saying anything.
"Did she say anything before...before she died," I asked while hoping that she had a message for me?
Whether she was making that up or not, she told me what I wanted to hear.
"She said to tell her you that she loved you and that she was sorry."
I stared at her not understanding.
"Sorry? Sorry for what?"
Colleen started crying again.
"I imagine she was sorry for dying," said Colleen with a shrug, while blowing her nose.
Colleen softly sobbed, again.

We stayed like that lying in bed holding one another and comforting one another for an hour or so, until she fell asleep and I got up to make coffee. I was in shock expecting it all to be a bad joke and expecting Maureen to walk through the door any minute. My mind reeled with unfinished thoughts and I didn't know what I was doing. I had to dump the coffee grounds back in the bag and recount the number of scoops three times.
When Colleen fell asleep, I let her sleep but she only slept for half an hour after I left the bed. She joined me in the kitchen and we sat and talked over morning coffee. I was glad that she was here with me. Now, with the reality of Maureen being dead, I didn't want to be alone.
"Her parents are making the arrangements and," she said.
She looked at me as if apologizing to me. She looked at me as if she was wondering if she should tell me or not.
"What? And what," I asked.
I looked at her, while waiting for her to continue.
"They don't want to include you in the funeral services. I'm sorry," she said.
I looked at her as if I was looking through her.
"I understand them not wanting me there at her funeral, but I can't understand why they are denying me to I see Maureen. Why can't I say good-bye to her?"
I looked at Colleen with so many questions. Yet, still in shock, I was having a hard time formulating any of them. I was having just as hard of a time picking which one to ask first.
"I'd just like to say good-bye to her," I said crying.
I couldn't help myself from crying nor could I stop myself from crying.
"They're having a private service with family only. Even I'm not allowed to go, her best friend," said Colleen with sadness. "I guess they blame me for her death, as much as they blame you."
