Ms. Madelene
I got married when I was 26 years old. At the time, my wife and I each were members of Mardi Gras Krewes. I was a member of an all-male krewe and my wife was a member of an all-female krewe. These two krewes, were sort of like sister / brother krewes. Many of the wives of my krewe were members of my wives krewe and vice versa. A krewe is just another name for a club. Usually, a Mardi Gras club is referred to as a krewe.
For about 15 years of our 24-year marriage, we were active in the respective krewe's. We were both well known in both krewes. Mostly, because I am very outgoing and I never met a stranger. I usually mingled around during events while my wife sat at the table and waited for people to mingle with her.
She was known to be quiet and shy as I was always mingling. When we were at an event with her krewe, you would often find me on the dance floor dancing with the single ladies or the ladies that their husband sat and drank. Many of the ladies in the krewe were married but their husbands didn't care to attend. Even though my wife was the member, I was better known then she was.
I was attracted to many of the ladies in the krewe. Many years later, after we discontinued our memberships, I still kept in contact with many of the members. There were a few that I had relations with at some point and there were some that we were just acquaintances.
Some even contacted me after my divorce. A few had become widows and some were divorcees.
My Space had become popular at some point and then Facebook surfaced. I come in contact with many friends from those days through Facebook also. Facebook was where you could hide behind a computer screen and exchanges messages. It was a way to express your feelings, with the security of hiding behind a screen.
Ms. Madelene was one of the ladies that I kept in touch with throughout the years. I actually met her thought my wife when they were both members of the krewe. Her and her husband would attend the functions, but we just visit with others. I never saw them dance and I was under the impression that Ms. Madelene didn't dance.
At the time, I thought Ms. Madelene was an attractive lady. I knew her and her husband was much older than me, but I found her to be attractive. I had gotten to be friends with her and her husband. At times, I would even visit them at their house. My kids and her grandkids were about the same age, so we would even see them at different events the kids were involved in.
Ms. Madelene had become a widow and my wife and I had attended the funeral and kept in contact with her. Like many others, she really didn't care much for my wife because of the way she treated me. I would do a few chores for her around the house to help maintain the property. This afforded me the opportunity to see her in a more casual environment. She often wore shorts or house dresses. I was used to seeing her in pants and blouse at the socials.
No matter what Ms. Madelene was wearing, her hair was always "beauty shop" perfect. She had the prettiest silvery white hair, always styled perfectly. She was 5 feet tall and round. Her size didn't matter because she was always well presented. She had bigger than average breasts and little dainty feet.
We had drifted apart a little until my divorce. I ran into her in the grocery store and told her that I was recently divorced. I explained my living arrangements, and how it was difficult getting on with life. I was happy, probably happier than I ever been, but struggling to make ends meet with attorney fees, court cost, child support and rent.
This was Friday afternoon and she invited me to eat lunch with her on Saturday. She said I needed a home cooked meal. I graciously accepted and looked forward to spending time with her. We then hugged, and I gave her a kiss on the cheek. That was our typical reaction when we saw each other.
The next day, I arrived at her house right before noon as we had discussed. I rang her doorbell and Ms. Madelene quickly answered the door. She was dressed in a pair of culottes, buttoned blouse and flats. That was her typical attire when I would see her at home. Sometimes, she would wear a house dress, but the usual attire was culottes and blouse. Sometimes she would wear the SAS shoes that seniors often wear but usually it was a pair of matching flats. Nonetheless, her hair was always perfect.
She invited me in and gave me the usual hug and kiss on the cheek. She motioned for me to follow her to the kitchen. I admired her figure as I walked behind her. It was a sight I had seen many times before. I admired her for many years from afar. Ms. Madelene was a lady that everyone respected. I wouldn't dare let her know I had sexual fantasies of her for many years. She wasn't an old prude, but she was not a lady you would have a risquΓ© conversation with.
There was a little "breakfast" bar in the kitchen. She asked me to sit at the bar while she finished with lunch. We talked as she shimmied around the kitchen putting the final touches on our meal. I secretly admired her body from the stool I was seated on, being careful not to make it obvious I was aroused. As usual, I enjoyed looking at Ms. Madelene.
Once lunch was complete, she asked me to help her bring the meal to the table in the dining room. She had already set the table and had it ready for the meal. She allowed me to serve my plate first. She had prepared one of my favorites, field peas, beef roast and home-made dinner roll. I was pleased that it wasn't a typical Cajun meal such as gumbo or jambalaya.
We had a pleasant conversation catching up while we ate. She hadn't realized until that day in the store that I was divorced. We talked about the struggles of divorce. It didn't surprise her that my ex-wife has kept my kids from seeing me. She confided that she never really cared for my ex-wife because she had such an attitude. I told her that I was much happier and reunited with friends she had run off. Many friends had stopped coming around because of her. I then told her that I wasn't there to talk about my ex-wife and my divorce. I wanted to put that behind me.
After we finished the meal, I helped Ms. Madelene clean up and put away the dishes. She then asked if I had plans for the rest of the day. She asked if I wanted to stay and watched TV with her for a while. I told her I enjoyed her company and I would enjoy spending time with her. We proceeded to walk to the den. Again, I walked behind her to admire her fluffy backside.
When we arrived in the den, I sat on one end of the reclining love seat and she sat on the other. I picked the right side because it looked like the left side was the one she usually sat in. The loveseat recliner had a small console in the middle with two drink holders built in. Just as we turned on the TV, a movie was starting. It looked interesting from the previews so we decided to watch it. I don't recall the name of the movie, but it was a comedy.
After an hour into the movie, Ms. Madelene pressed pause and excused herself to go to the bathroom. When she was returning, she called out from the kitchen and asked if I wanted something to drink. I told her water would be fine. When she returned, she had two bottles of water in hand. We put our water in the cup holder and put the movie back on play.
My left hand and her right hand were on the console sort of holding our water and somehow our hands touched. Before I knew it, without thinking, our hands entangled and we were holding hands. I didn't even notice it until later but I would not dare move my hand. I was very comfortable in the position. It just happened and I don't think either one of us meant it to happen.
After the movie was over, we discussed the more entertaining parts of the movie. We both commented on how enjoyable it was to watch the movie with someone. During the conversation, our hands became unattached but somehow, they went right back to holding each other. It felt natural and comfortable.
After an hour or so, I told her I better get home. I had clothes to wash and things to do. She then invited me over the next day. It was Sunday, our favorite NFL team was playing at noon. I offered to pick up a sandwich tray, and we would have finger foods. Ms. Madelene liked the idea and added she would make some sort of sweets also.
I then stood up to leave and I reached for her hand to help her up. When she stood up, she put her hand on my waist and told me how much she enjoyed my company. Out of instinct, I put my arms around her to hug her and kissed her on the lips. I really didn't plan that move. In fact, I do not think either one of us planned anything. Things just happened. That kiss was pleasant, but yet, it shocked us both. Our lips separated, I looked her in the eyes and told her thank you. I needed that today. Then, she reached in for another kiss. This time it was a more passionate kiss. It was not the type of kiss you would give your grandmother. At this point, I was not sure what direction this was going. Perhaps it was just a "moment" and would dissolve by tomorrow.
