Disclaimers: By now, you should know the drill. In case you don't remember, each and every character in this little tale is over eighteen years of age, if they are lucky enough to get lucky. Also, THIS STORY IS FICTIONAL. There are two distinct parts to my story. The first part has to do with my first marriage. The second has to do with the possibility of a second marriage, after many years of raising my two kids, all on my own. Actually, my parents helped me out, immensely, with that task.

Warnings: If I discuss any criminal activity, its the law ACCORDING TO ME.
It seems as if my first wife, Elizabeth Bertrand up and decided after five sometimes tumultuous years of marriage, that produced two magnificent children, she didn't want to be married to me, anymore.
At least that's what she told me, as she was walking out the door. As you will read, later in my story, there was considerably more to that part of my story, which I will make known.
Some background information is needed, here.
I'm Justin Roberts, now a forty-two year old, self employed software engineer.
Beth, as she went by then, and I met my second year of college. I was moving towards my goal of getting my degree in software engineering, and she was studying some sort of ancient history.
It took nearly four months of dating before we actually landed in my bed, for the sole purpose of fucking. And sucking. Even though I wasn't a virgin, I wasn't what could be called worldly.
Truth be told, I had a grand total of two sexual experiences, both with the same girl, and neither could be described as monumental.
Even at my slimmed down weight of one hundred and eighty pounds, spread over my six foot one inch frame, I was still working very hard getting my body in some semblance of fitness.
Lets back up a bit, if I can.
All through school, from grade school, junior high and high school, I was the little chubby kid that some of my classmates loved to tease.
For some reason, known only to my tormentors, they thought of ridiculing my first name. I was called Justin time, Justin case. You get my drift? Along with being chubby, this constant harassment led me to be on the very shy side.
Even some of my female classmates joined in this 'game' of teasing me. Needless to say, I didn't have a lot of friends, or social interaction all throughout school.
There was one girl, in particular who seemed to really enjoy teasing me. Gloria Swanson, who coined the name Justin case. It seemed as if she thought her shit didn't stink due to her father being some sort of big shot property developer.
One day while we were in the seventh or eighth grade, I'd had enough and called her Gloria Swanson's Chicken Pot Pie! That shut her and a few of her friends up for several weeks.
For those of you not old enough, Swanson started selling Chicken Pot Pies in 1957, or thereabouts.
For a few weeks, the name calling stopped, but any social interaction was also non existant. I just went about my school days, studying, and minding my own business.
If it weren't for my parents, Joe, a mailman, and Mildred, a school librarian, encouraging me to ignore the idiots, as they called my tormentors, I might not have done so well as to put me in an ideal position for several scholarships. My near straight A grades, allowed me to finish number two in a graduating class of nearly four hundred students.
I did have a very small number of dates, but nothing that rose to the level of long lasting friendships. I do have to admit that the few girls I did go out with were also considered to be in the nerdish category. As I remember, I did get a goodnight kiss, or two, but nothing more.
I did get several scholarships that allowed me to study my chosen field of computer science at Seattle University.
It was during my freshman year I actually dated a girl long enough to lose my virginity. Jill McDonald, another freshman, who like me was in the computer science program, actually allowed my hands to find her nice small B cup boobs, on our third date, and allowed me to take her bra off on the next date.
By the time we found ourselves on my bed, without any clothes on, and figuring out how the condom was placed, correctly. I think I might have lasted three or four minutes, tops. As I said, nothing too monumental.
Even though the second time lasted quite a bit longer, it, too, was nothing to write home about.
As the next term started, Jill was nowhere to be found. I did find out she transferred to a nearby community college, as her grades weren't all that great.
As my second year was starting, I would see this one girl several times a week, usually where I ate my lunch. Each day, we would sit and talk, finding out about each other.
Elizabeth Bertrand was from the city of Kelso, about 125 miles south of Seattle, and was majoring in some sort of medieval history.
When I'd ask her what was her goal, she answered, with a grin, "I'm after a Mrs. degree."
It took me a few minutes to understand she was at college to find a husband.
Since I really wasn't in the market for a wife, we did little more that talk, during and after our lunch. With our very different majors, we didn't share any classes.
It must have been into our second month of lunches, I got really brave and leaned over and lightly kissed her on the lips.
"It's about time, Justin, I was almost thinking you didn't like girls."
Smiling, I gave her the Readers Digest version of my adventures during my elementary and secondary schooling. I didn't spill my guts to make her feel sorry for me, but to let her know that I was still a bit on the shy side.
We didn't start dating, as such, but we did hang out a bit more, both between classes, and after our last class of the day. It must have been well into our third month of studying together, when I got brave enough, again, to lean over the table and kiss her softly on her lips.
I then put one hand behind her head and kissed her just a bit deeper. She responded by moving her tongue in between my lips and started jousting with my tongue.
Oh, my goodness, my body was on fire. After two or three minutes, and my face red as a beet, we broke our grip on each other, with me grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
"Beth, do you think we just might do a little more, along those lines?"
"You bet, but right after my last class, today, I'm heading home to help my mom with my uncle, since he's going into the hospital for some sort of surgery."
I was a little bummed out, but I convinced myself what I had to look forward to was way better than anything I'd ever experienced.
As it turned out, Beth didn't return for two full weeks. I decided not to ask what took so long, and figured if she wanted me to know, she'd tell me.
As it turned out, this uncle's surgery was way more complicated than she let on, and he didn't survive. She stayed down there for those two weeks, I guess consoling her mother.
It was another week before our schedules allowed our much anticipated date to actually take place.
