By way of background, you might want to see my earlier stories Nightime Disturbance and She Wants Rid. Fortunately, Lisa the girl's virginity I took "properly" in She Wants Rid didn't become pregnant and I didn't really see much of her before we both started at our respective universities. This is another true story also set in the late 1980's when there were no such things as MILF's. Instead sexy older women were known by the colloquial term of "Mrs Robinson's." The following is the true story of my encounter with a certain Mrs R.
I ended up reading politics at the University of Sussex. Campus tended to be pretty dead at the weekend with a lot of students going home to London. I'd heard a decent band were playing in Brighton at a pub called the Fox and Hounds and decided to give it a try.
I arrived at about 9.00-ish there was a support band who weren't much cop, but the main band were okay. The bands played in a large room upstairs in the pub with around seventy to eighty people present. As the evening wore on I became aware of a large group of women who were being quite loud.
I don't know how it happened but I ended up talking to them. I think it because I was on my own. When I mentioned I was a student they cracked a few jokes about it. I remember having quite a deep conversation with one of them; she was tall with long black hair probably in her late twenties. I thought I might be in with a chance but she mentioned her husband and kids.
I continued to talk to her and her some of her friend but towards the end of the evening I think she left with a few of them so there were only four of the original dozen women left. I remember I turned rather sharply and almost bumped into one of the other women.
She was a bit older than the rest of them late 30's, blond, quite short, that was all I could say about her because up until that point she hadn't said a word to me, and I had hardly noticed her.
I said something like, 'you alright.'
She nodded and gave a terse smile.
'You're very quite.'
She did not respond, although I could hardly blame and no doubt she would take exception to be chatted up by someone old enough to be her son/daughter.
I'd had a fair bit to drink at that moment so the following exchange was due to the fact I was under the influence of alcohol, 'can I get you a drink?'
She shook her head.
'I see, hubby picking you up soon.'
'No,' she loudly replied, before fixing me with an aggressive stare.
This led to one of her friends coming over.
'What's going on?'
'Nothing I replied.'
'Denise?' Her friend asked her.
But Denise said nothing and just left pursued by one of her other friends.
Her friend who I was later to discover was called Pauline, asked, 'what exactly did you say to her?'
'All I said was do you want a drink, she said no, and I just said something like is your husband picking you up?'
'You stupid prick.'
'What?'
'She's only recently separated from her husband.'
'Sorry, I didn't know.' Although it was just a flippant comment with no obvious intention to cause any offence I did feel pretty bad.
'I think you better apologise to Denise.'
'Yeah,' I said, 'I didn't know about her situation.'
Denise reappeared about ten minutes later, logically I should have bailed out immediately; instead I went over to Denies, 'sorry about what I said.'
Unsurprisingly she did not respond.
'I can get you that drink if you want.'
Again no reaction.
Pauline whispered in my ear, 'get her a large gin and tonic.'
As I went over to the bar I looked over my shoulder and noticed Pauline talking to Denise.
I returned to Denise, 'sorry,' I said as I handed her the drink, 'I didn't man to upset you.'
'It's alright,' she replied somewhat wearily, 'you weren't to know. How much was that?'
'What the drink?'
'Yes.'
'No it's okay.'
'Are you sure?'
I sipped my pint as I heard last orders being called and pictured my 5 mile walk back to university. My thoughts were interrupted by Denise.
'What are you studying?'
'Sorry.'
'At university, what is it you're studying?'
'Politics.'
She laughed.
'What's so funny?'
'Oh nothing.'
'There must be something.'
'It's just this was supposed to be my big night out, my friends were supposed to take me out into town go clubbing and stuff, but I end up here talking to a student, whose probably younger than my own daughter about his degree course.'
Shit I thought, husbands, children, she's got a kid the same age as me, the only woman in the night so far I thought I might have got off with was married with kids and left some time ago, but even then the fact she was a good 10 years older than me was a bit off-putting. But now I'm having this bizarre conversation with this woman who is old enough to be my mother. However, there was something, strangely it was the directing of her feet they had turned into me making a v-shape pointing towards my crotch.
By this time the band had finished time had been called and people were drifting away. I was still talking to Denise this time about her daughter who had gone away for the weekend; she also had a son who thankfully was a good few years younger than me.
'Are we off then?' Pauline asked.
Denise nodded and finished off the rest of her gin and tonic, 'well it was very nice talking to you and thanks for the drink.'
'It's okay,' I replied as I followed her and her friends out of the pub.
'Are you getting a taxi back then?' asked Denise,
'Taxi, I'm a poor student, I'm walking it.'
Pauline must have heard me.
'You can walk back with us I live just off the Lewes Road.'
'Yeah okay.'
The three women began walking which left me and Denise. I guess the cold air must have hit her as she stumbled and then giggled.
'Are you alright?'
'Yes,' she replied then 'no,' then she said, 'why are all men such pigs?'
I didn't have an answer to that so I just kept my mouth shut. At this juncture I did feel a bit sorry for her.
She stumbled again, 'I think I've had a bit too much to drink.'
'I guess you've got every reason to.'
'Yeah,' she replied bitterly. A few moments later, 'but I'm glad to see the back of him, we only stayed together for the sake of the kids.'
'Oh,' I replied, this type of relation break-up was all new to me.
'He was lazy too.'
'Sorry.'
'Really lazy in bed.'
