This is the end of reunion. I was going to write reunion as a short but decided after submitting it that the two could possibly develop a relationship of sorts. In addition there were a few loose ends that I wanted to fill in. This is the second and final part to a story that takes two people from a short relationship, call it a highschool crush in which he develops a lifelong love for her as an adult. The first installment got them together after a 50 year separation in that time frame he finds and marries his wife of 45 years. She is divorced twice and currently single. The story picks up after he leaves the reunion.
The first chapter of reunion had no sex but deux will have some senior sex so all you young people that think it's gross and disgusting will just have to bear with me or just skip over the sexy parts.
Needless to say all people engaged in sex will be well into their senior years. Also in part one there was an element of my real life as a teen but in deux it's all fabrication and takes place at least 2 years into the future from the posting date. I hope you enjoy.
*****
I sat in my motel room in just my shirt and boxer briefs sipping a local craft brew. Looking out at the few city lights left on, in a contemplative mood. On the one hand I felt my grief return for my dead wife and all our memories that we had accumulated throughout our 45 years.
On the other hand I felt the yearning of my lifelong love for Tanya. I had told her tonight that I would have left my life and went with her if she had ever contacted me.
Was that the truth?
Yes. No. Maybe.
At this point I really can't say for sure if I would have. Certainly I would have been tempted but would I have brought that type of hurt to my wife?
My family?
I guess I would never know because my wife was gone forever now. Almost her last words were for me to find someone to love me. Not for me to love but to love me instead. What did she mean? Could I find happiness not loving someone that loved me?
A light tap on my room door brought me out of my conundrum. I glanced at the clock next to the bed and wondered who could it be at 1:00 am. 'Probably some drunk looking for their room,' I thought.
Looking through the peephole I saw the top of a head on a blonde woman. She was nervously looking down at her purse and a small cloth bag. She looked up and knocked again and I recognised her.
Tanya.
What did she want?
I slowly opened the door without saying anything.
"Hello sailor I seem to be lost. Could you help a girl out?" she said with a nervous grin.
I didn't say anything for a couple of beats. "Tanya it's 1:00 AM why are you here? What do you want." I wasn't angry anymore but curious as to why she had come to me after the things I had said earlier in the evening.
"I wanted to finish our conversation that we started tonight. Also you left so abruptly that you didn't give me a chance to tell my side of what happened on our first date. May I come in?" She said the last as she pushed me aside and strolled into my room. I had thought to pack in the morning so my clothes from earlier were strewn about carelessly.
She put her purse and 'diddy bag' on the table that had my two empty beer bottles on and turned to me.
"John I really just want to talk, and to apologize, and also to let you know how my life turned out. We never got to that point did we? I do have some questions for you also but maybe the answers will come from our talk."
I was a bit put off by her brazenness but in a way what she said was true. I had left abruptly when the grief and guilt at how I had treated my wife for so many years had overwhelmed me.
I moved a few clothes so she had a place to sit and asked her, "Would you like a beer? I only have beer and bottled water. Sorry but I wasn't expecting company."
"Water is fine John," she replied.
I opened a bottle for her and sat across the table. When she had pushed by me I noticed that she smelled freshly showered and was wearing a perfume that I had always liked. 'Forbidden' I thought, or something close. I looked at her while she drank and waited for her to open up. She put the bottle down and looked into my eyes. I could see. What? Shame? Guilt? Concern? Fear? I waited.
"When we were on our date that night I had only recently heard something about you that I couldn't, at first, believe. We had been flirting at school and I thought you were so handsome so I took a chance and said yes when you asked me out. Then I was told by Mark that you had been trying to seduce him. He said that he had proof that you had hit on other guys in our class also. Then he and Richard came to my house and corroborated his accusations, I was stunned. I had never saw any indication that you were not 100% herto before but the doubt had been put there."
"You could have asked me about that. I never tried to seduce anyone in our class. Yeah sure there was always the locker room banter between us. Always had been some grabass fooling around but never anything relating to sex.
As I found out later, for some twisted reason, the guy that I had always considered my best friend was in cahoots to torpedo our relationship but I never found out why. Did you know?"
"No. As a matter of fact I didn't know he was trying to 'torpedo' us because at that point I didn't realise that there was an 'us'. You had not asked me to be your steady and this was our first date so in all fairness what happened that night was just one of those things that happened. Didn't you ever go out with someone and come home with someone else in college?"
"No. I was married with 2 kids when I entered college."
