The Village VI
Retirement Community
I sat in my recliner and put the TV on. I hesitated for a moment but I decided to call Belle. I was not sure what she wanted to tell me. It could have been about Millie or about the afternoon. I clicked on Belle's name on my phone and it rang. It actually rang 4 times and I was about to hang up before I got her voice mail when she finally answered.
After we exchanged greetings, she told me how much she enjoyed her afternoon. In fact, the other ladies enjoyed it also. They all hoped we could do it again sometime. I told her that I really enjoyed having them all over also. Perhaps we can do it again sometime soon.
Then she told me that when the three of them arrived back at The Village, Iris's son was dropping her off too. Iris did not know where we had been. She was curious as to where we had gone in bathing suits. Belle reminded me that Iris had left with her son before they all decided to go to my house. The ladies did not know how to answer her. Rue finally said that they were invited to my house but she had already left with her son. Iris told them how lucky they were. Belle said she sounded a little jealous. She added that Iris mentioned a few times how it's sad he is so young because he sure is a good catch. Maude winked at her and said she shouldn't let that discourage her.
She changed the subject and said they decided to go relax in the recreation room. Iris had gone ahead of them and they went change to be more presentable. They would probably play cards or just sit around and visit. Nonetheless, the three ladies needed to change out their bathing suits. She added one more thing before hanging up. She said Iris noticed Millie was not with them and asked where she was. She laughed and said there was silence, until Maude told her that she had fallen asleep and I would take her back later.
Once I hung up with Belle, I did not know how much Iris knew. I know Maude, Belle and Rue knew about each other. I am sure they figured out it was Millie's turn also. I just don't know how much Iris knew. I was getting ideas about Iris for sure. Iris was probably the most like Maude in appearance but more like Millie in personality.
Monday was a short day at work. I had a meeting early then I was off the rest of the day. I decided to give Mrs. Detillier a call to see if she would like me to go play piano in the afternoon. She was more than happy to accommodate me since the residents enjoyed it so much. She did not know that I had another motive behind it. I wanted to get a feel for how Iris would respond to me. I was really interested in her since that would complete the circle of friends. I was pleased that they all knew about each other and was content with that. The only one that I was not sure of was Iris.
I arrived at The Village and settled in at the piano. It did not take long before the residents were gathering around. The word spread quickly that I was there playing. It seemed like the ladies gathered closest to the piano. The men sort of stayed in the back of the room. If I had to guess, the whole center appeared to be mostly ladies. Probably 75% of the people I saw were female. That made sense as to why the ladies flocked around me.
The first lady I recognized was Zelda. I remembered her from bringing the wreath that she won at bingo to her apartment. She was on a bench to my right. I could not help but notice the big smile on her face the whole time I was there.
A few minutes after I started, I saw the five ladies walk in at the same time. I had not told them I was coming. It was a surprise for all of them. I always carried a back pack with me. It contained personal items I might need in an emergency and also an iPad with printed music filed on it. In case I needed to find a song, I was not familiar with. I also would take request and would attempt any song requested. I would just look for it on the internet with my iPad and attempt to play it. I would always tell the listeners that I was going to try it but I didn't make a promise it would sound right.
The ladies sat on the left side, opposite of Zelda. Millie walked over to me before sitting down and put and envelope in my backpack. I had no idea what it was, but I was hoping it was something good. I had to wait until I was finished for the day to see what it was.
I took a short break later on to use the restroom. When I returned, I passed by the 5 ladies. I gave them each a hug and when I hugged Millie, she told me to wait until I got home to open the envelope. The little sassy grin on her face made me even more curious. As I sat down, Zelda approached me and stated that she did not get a hug. Of course, I was more than willing to hug another granny.
I got distracted watching Zelda take those few steps back to where she was seated. I watched as she took each step. Each cheek of her bum would move with each step she took. I was mesmerized watching her and almost forgot where I was.
I was starting to see Zelda as a possible sex object also, even if she was outside of the group of the original 5 ladies I was involved with already. Actually, I never saw Zelda with any other ladies except Rue. I figured I would get the story on her later. I was sure Rue would fill me in if I asked. Even if I was interested in Zelda, I knew I already had my hands full, at least for a while.
I played the piano for a few hours and decided it was time to call it a day. I did not want to delay any of the residents from their normal dinner time. The dining hall opened at 4:00pm and many of the residents were usually waiting for the doors to open. I packed up my things and several of the residents came to thank me and visit with me.
I noticed Zelda was taking to a gentleman off the side but she appeared more interested in coming visit with me. As the original 5 ladies walked away, Zelda came talk with me. I was puzzled as to why she waited until the others left before approaching me. I did not ask; I just went along with her hug and short conversation. She told me how nice it was to share my time with the residents.
Just as I was walking away, I saw Iris coming up the hall at a fast pace. I saw she lift her hand making sign for me to wait. As she approached, she was a little winded. She let me know that she was told she had missed a good time at my house the day before. She apologized for having accepted a lunch date with her son before they planned that. She then asked if she would have a chance to make it up. I let her know that she was welcomed to come to my house any time. The other ladies had already told me that Iris often goes into town without telling anyone. I knew her coming over to my house was not going to be an issue. I then asked if she wanted to come over the next evening after I got off work. She accepted my offer and said she was excited. She asked if she needed her bathing suit and I told her it was not needed. I let her know that I would call her once I got back from work.
