Retirement Community
I called Maude when I was almost home. She told me she would meet me there as soon as she was able to pick up dinner. I was still not worried about what she had to say. I am usually one that gets anxious when someone says, "I need to tell you something later". I am the type that would usually tell them to tell me now and get it over with. For some reason, I was relaxed about this.
Maude arrived at my house at about 6:30pm. I had left the garage door opened so she was able to enter through the garage. She was carrying our dinner in her hands. She had picked up a meal from a local family-owned restaurant. She was wearing a light blue house dress and sandals. I grabbed us a couple soft drinks from the refrigerator and we sat down to eat. I was waiting for her to bring up the subject, but it seemed like she was delaying.
Finally, after we were done eating, as I was cleaning off the table, I asked what she needed to talk about. She told me it was difficult to bring it up but she needed to tell me something. She paused a minute and said I will tell you this but please keep an open mind and don't react until I said all I have to say. I then asked if she wanted to sit on the couch where we would be more comfortable. As she stood from the table, I watched her dress inch up over her knees. While she walked to the couch, I watched her back side shimmy with each step she took.
When she sat comfortably on the couch, Maude continued by repeating that she had breakfast with Belle. Belle questioned her about her sneaking in at 4am. She and Belle had known each other for over 40 years and she couldn't lie to her. She knew Belle could read her face and know it was a lie. She has been in that situation many times before with Belle. As she talked, I could see the concern in her facial expressions. I could tell it was difficult for her to say.
As her and Belle ate breakfast, she told her of the two evenings we had together. She especially went into detail about the overnight visit. Since she and Belle were so close, Belle voiced her thoughts also. Belle told her that she found me to be attractive and would not mind a rendezvous with me also. She touched on two specific things after that.
First, she talked about how much she enjoys my company. She explained that she knew this would never be a permanent or even a long-term commitment to each other. Our age difference was never going to be long term. She never wanted to hold me back from finding a lover closer to my own age. She cared for me a great deal but was careful not to fall in love with me and didn't want me falling in love with her. She also would not stop me from seeing any of the other ladies there. Once again, she told me to hear her out.
Next, she talked about Belle. Belle had not had sexual intercourse since her husband passed away. Actually, he was sick for several years prior to his passing so it was probably over 20 years she had not been touched by a man. Even that, she said was boring by her standards. They had been friends for so long, they talked about everything. Belle always described her husband to Maude as a "wham bam thank you mam" type of lover. Which was fine with Belle because that is all she knew anyway. Only because of conversations with Maude did she know there as more to sex than that.
With that said, she continued, "if Belle were to be bold enough to approach you with sexual desire, it was okay with me if you acted accordingly with her". She was okay sharing me with her friend knowing we were not in a committed relationship. She asked that I be respectful of Belles past. She said Belle thought oral sex was taboo. Not only did she think it was taboo, she considered it to be nasty and gross. She clarified by saying that she is not trying to reduce Belles pleasures, but she knows how she feels about sex.
I will admit, my mind was racing in several directions at this point. I had questions in my head which I think would be a normal reaction for anyone. Was Maude just using me for sexual pleasures? Why would a lady want to share me with her friend? Was she setting me up? What was really going on?
I didn't speak right away. I gathered and organized my thoughts in my head. I saw the look of concern in Maudes face. Neither one of us spoke for several minutes. I was staring into "space" and Maude was looking at me, waiting for my words.
Finally, I broke the silence. I verified what I thought I was hearing by saying; so, you want me to sleep with your friend? You are attracted to me and enjoy me, but willing to share me? You are okay knowing I am sleeping with your best friend? I wasn't giving Maude time to answer between questions. This really sounded good to me, but I wanted to make sure I was feeling the same as she was.
Maude answered each question. Yes, I want you to continue a relationship with me. Yes, I am attracted to you. Yes, I am okay with you sleeping with Belle. However, she added, I do not want details or even knowledge of when and where. She continued to explain by saying Belle is her best friend and has been for a very long time. She always felt sorry for Belle because she never got to experience the joys of sex. Her husband was not a lover, even if they loved each other. She told me, with a firm look on her face, Belle never even had her nipples sucked. She laughed and said as far as she knew, Belle only knew the standard missionary position with no variations.
I just kept staring in Maudes eyes. I could see the sincerity in her words through her eyes. She had a few tears dripping out the corner of her eyes. Next, I heard, listen sweetie, this is hard for me to explain to you. Belle is my best friend. I love her like a sister. You waltzed into my life and swept me off my feet with your charm. Belle is impressed with you also; in fact, all the ladies are. I want Belle to experience what an orgasm feels like. I want her to see how it feels to enjoy sex for herself and not just the male companion. She has only been with one man and that was Benny. Benny was a fine gentleman and provided for her and the children, but he was not so affectionate.
There was a long silence from both of us. All you could hear was the TV in the background. I then agreed to her suggestion. I had one request. I wanted her to promise to me that her and I would still have our relationship. I told her I thought she was a wonderful lady and I truly enjoyed being with her. Maude then reached over and kissed me, passionately. Our tongues danced together for a minute or so when she broke the kiss and told me how much she appreciated my openness.
