Forty five years old. For whatever reason this birthday was really bothering Nina. Thirty hadn't bothered her and neither had forty but for some reason forty five was. She couldn't put her finger on it. Maybe it was the fact that her kids were older now and could basically take care of themselves. Maybe it was the fact she was home all day. She had never worked but she always had the kids to keep her occupied. Bottom line was she was bored.
She felt like something was missing in her life. She loved her husband and kids and would never think of cheating or anything like that. This wasn't about that. It also had nothing to do with physically aging. Yes she had gained a few pounds since she was in her 20's but she still looked good. The looks she got at the pool during the summer were a testament to that. Her 140 lbs. were carried on a 5'4", 140 lb., 40-26-36 body. Her shoulder length black hair had some grey in it but nothing hair coloring couldn't hide. No, there was something missing and she couldn't put her finger on it.
Nina carried this around for quite a while. She tried to put up a front for her family but even they were starting to catch on. More and more they were asking her what was wrong and telling her that she didn't seem like herself but she always said there wasn't anything wrong. She made up her mind that she had to talk to somebody about it. Maybe that would help.
The next day she called her friend Sheila. Nina and Sheila weren't the best of friends but they had a lot in common and for some reason Nina felt Sheila could relate more than any of her other friends. She told Sheila she needed to talk and Sheila told her to come on over and have some coffee.
Nina went over to Sheila's and sat down in her kitchen and started to talk. Sheila said "OK, what's up?" Nina explained all about how she had been feeling. Sheila sat and listened. When Nina was done Sheila said "I know exactly how you feel. I went through the same type of thing a couple of years ago."
Nina said "Really? How did you cope?"
Sheila said "Let me ask you something. Have you ever done anything out of the norm in all your life?"
Nina shook her head and said "No, not really."
Sheila said "Exactly! We both were raised in very conservative families. We always did the right thing, took care of our families, never complained. Now we look around and say 'what now'?"
Nina said "Yep, that's basically it."
Sheila said "OK, here's what you need to do. Think out of the box a little. If something comes up that you automatically would have said no to before, think about it first. Maybe it's not such a bad idea to try something different."
Nina said "Like what? I'm not going to go have an affair or anything like that."
Sheila said "No, of course not. That's not what I'm talking about. I don't have anything specific in mind. You'll know it when it comes up."
Nina said "Is that what you did?"
Sheila said "Yes it is."
Nina said "What was it that you did? Can you share?"
Sheila shook her head and said "No, my secret. But trust me, it worked for me."
Nina said "OK, fair enough. I respect that. Maybe I need to open my mind a little."
Sheila said "You know, it will do you a world of good." Nina got up and thanked Sheila. Sheila got up and hugged her and said "You'll be fine honey. Remember, think outside the box a little."
It was something Rick had been thinking about since he was in his early teens. For years Rick had fantasized about Nina wrestling against other women. At times he felt really guilty about it. After all this was his friend's mom. When he was younger he even playfully wrestled with Nina a couple of times just to see how she would do. The couple of times he asked she must have thought he was nuts but she humored him. Of course he was too old for that now. He was 21 now and, let's face it, she wouldn't think it was so innocent at this point.
There were times he wondered, if he could arrange it and he asked her, if she would wrestle another woman. It was a great thought but he always put it out of his head. Again, this is something she might not appreciate.
He put it out of his head until one day that summer he was at the swim club. His hormones were raging and he was horny as could be. Nina and the rest of her family were members at the same club. Nina came to the pool that day by herself.
Rob was in the pool and he noticed Nina standing there talking to one of her neighbors. Nina was in a blue one piece bathing suit. Her neighbor, who was also attractive, was in a floral print one-piece bathing suit. Rick just stared at the two of them and thought of them wrestling one another. One of his friends yelled over to him but he didn't even hear him. Finally he heard "YO RICK".
He was startled and turned and answered "be right there." When he turned back the two women had stopped talking and Nina was lying in a lounge chair. He looked at Nina just lying there soaking up the sun. He could see her breasts move up and down with each breath she took. All he could think of now was hopping on top of her. He just shook his head to get the thought out of his mind.
Later that day Rick saw Nina leaving. It came to him that there was no one else home at Nina's house. He knew his friend was with his girlfriend and Nina's husband had taken the other kids on an overnight trip.
It was something he had been doing for years. He always liked "dropping in" when he knew she was there by herself. His family and Nina's were very close so it was no big deal. He gave it about twenty minutes and then left the pool.
As he was going over there the thought kept ringing in his head to ask her if she would wrestle another woman. He was getting nervous. Would he have the guts to ask her?
He walked up to the house and rang the bell. Nina looked through the peephole and saw Rick standing there. She laughed to herself and shook her head. She knew by the way he looked at her sometimes that he had a crush on her. She knew it was innocent so she got a kick out of it. She opened the door and said "Hi Rick."
He said "Hi. Just want to see if you're son's around."
Nina said "No, he's out." She thought to herself that he already knew that.
Rick said "Oh, OK. You know what, can I use the bathroom?"
Nina said "sure come on in."
Rick went upstairs and into the bathroom. Of course he didn't really have to go. He looked at himself in the mirror. He was starting to actually sweat. Then in the reflection he saw Nina's wet bathing suit was hanging over the shower curtain drying. He looked at it and touched the inside of it where her breasts would have been. He could feel himself getting excited and he really was getting nervous. He flushed the toilet to make it sound like he actually used it.
He came down the stairs and Nina said "You look like you're sweating. You want some lemonade?"
Rick said "sure, thanks."
He followed Nina into the kitchen. Nina told him to have a seat. Nina poured a glass for him and herself. She sat down also and asked him if there was something bothering him. "You seem anxious or something" Nina said.
Rick said "Oh, no, no. I'm OK."
Nina said "So how's everything going?"
Rick, totally ignoring the question said, "Nina, can, can I ask you something."
Nina said "Sure, what?"
Rick said "Well, those times when I was younger and asked you to wrestle, did that bother you that I did that?"
Nina said "Well, if it bothered me I wouldn't have done it. I didn't know why you wanted to. You caught me kind of by surprise the first time. I didn't really know what to say so I just said OK. Why are you asking? You're a little too old for us to be doing that now if that's what you're getting at."
Rick said "No, that's not it. I was just wondering..."
There was silence and Nina said "wondering what?"
