Pauline, Journalist
It was a hot, dry September afternoon, so the sweat didn't have time to form. I walked six blocks from my shared apartment in a student housing midrise building to the coffee shop where I had agreed to meet Tyler Bradford. I was interviewing the candidate for county commissioner. This sixty-nine-year-old man was running against a younger incumbent, a woman I interviewed earlier in the week. He was at the counter.
"Hello, Mr. Bradford," I introduced myself. "I'm Pauline Schaeffer, from the
Local Guardian
."
"Nice to meet," he responded extending his hand. "Please call me Tyler," he paused for a moment and added, "I know how polite many young people are these days, but please don't address me as sir," he asked. "I don't really relate to that."
Tyler's appeal was a combination of maturity and confidence. We sat down and talked about his campaign and his ideals. His almost youthful exuberance impressed me, which overcame my expectations of how an older man should carry himself and behave.
He made constant eye contact, which I could tell was his way of connecting, and it didn't feel creepy at all, but rather refreshing. We were about to conclude the interview when Tyler became personal and asked me about myself.
"Are you a senior?" he inquired.
"Yes. I'll be graduating in December," I answered easily. "I'm doing this internship with the Guardian as part of my senior project."
"Journalism doesn't seem like a promising career anymore," Tyler commented. "Whether people get news from social media or watch cable news clips on YouTube, it all seems to me to be geared toward entertainment, not serious news reporting."
I laughed a little and responded. "I know there doesn't seem to be a future in Journalism. I have a job back home after graduating with a local newspaper that still publishes a weekly print edition."
"Good for you," he said and then asked. "Where's home?"
"Harrisburg, Pennsylvania," I told him. "It's the state capital and I'm very interested in politics. If I can make a go of this and talk to lots of state legislators, I'll be able to formulate my political career."
"That's a smart approach instead of majoring in political science," he told me as we walked toward the parking garage.
"You are looking to represent a fairly rural part of the county. Do you live far out of town?" I asked, trying to keep the conversation going with this charming man.
"Well, I live on a few acres about twenty-five miles from here," he told me.
I knew that he had lost his wife several years before. Perhaps he likes the solitude and quietness. But then why run for an office, especially at his age, though he came across as more youthful, I thought.
"We'll be publishing the articles side by side," I explained. "Your interview and the one I had with Marchelle Adams." He reached out his hand again to shake mine and his smile was so inviting I felt like pulling him close and kissing his lips.
"Call or text me if you have any questions," I said, almost begging him to text me for a date. I walked back to my apartment without quite comprehending myself. Why did I suddenly attract a much older man? I was getting wet just thinking about him.
I took out my phone and opened the Tinder app. I need to fuck someone. I swiped on this guy who keeps sending me messages. 'What are you doing now?' I texted him.
'Hanging out by the library' he answered.
'Come over to my place,' I texted back with my apartment number.
He was excited when he knocked on the door and entered. I just took his arm and led him to my bedroom.
"Don't make anything of this," I told him. "I just need a good fuck right now." He stared at me gleefully. "Come on, let's just do it," I commanded.
Dan, maybe it was Don, or whatever his name was, quickly stripped and joined my naked body on the bed. I was already sopping wet from the fantasies that had run through my head since I left Tyler.
"Forget the foreplay. I'm on the pill, so just stick your cock in me and pound away," I instructed the Tinder booty-call. His cock felt good going in. I closed my eyes and imagined the nearly seventy-year-old man was beside me. It didn't last long. He abruptly pulled out and came all over my belly.
"I told you I was on the pill," I said rather sternly.
"I'm sorry. Just habit I guess," he responded.
"Cumming quickly or making a mess on my belly?" I answered him with a tinge of anger. "Thanks," I said gesturing for him to leave.
I know it was unrealistic to think I could have been satisfied in a fantasy cut way too short. I should have just let the moment of desire for Tyler live firmly in my mind while I fingered myself to an orgasm. It was too late, the opportunity passed.
Once Dan, or Don, left I got up and showered. I was drying off when Ayanna knocked and walked before I could invite her into my room. Ayanna was one of my four roommates in the student apartment. We were close friends, both being Easterners. She hailed from a town outside of Baltimore.
"I see you've let your pubic hair grow naturally out," she remarked looking at my pussy while I was drying it with a towel. "I think I'm going to give in and shave mine," she added.
"Why? You were so keen on going natural you convinced me to let it grow," I reminded her.
"Yea, but I think it scares the guys too much. I can't get anyone to go down on me," Ayanna lamented.
"I don't even think about that. I just like the feel of a cock inside me," I replied with a little melancholy over not being satisfied as I imagined I should. "I just wish they could have a little stamina and not cum so fast."
"That isn't going to happen, girl," Ayanna told me. "You better warm yourself up first to get off with some young buck."
"You ever try doing it with another girl?" I asked. "Oral sex, I mean."
"Yea. I tried getting on with Chelsea and Erika and even they weren't going to have a lick if my pussy," she told me.
