"May I join you?" The voice was deeply sensual and best of all it came from a woman. "You looked so deep in thought that I decided to come and brighten you up, if that's okay with you."
"Please yourself, although I warn you that you'll probably find yourself bored shitless." I was deliberately rude because the last thing I needed right now was company. I looked at her, all cheerful and happy, and decided that I should maybe have a closer look. It only took a second to take it all in. She was almost as tall as I am, 5'10", she was not skinny nor was she fat, she wore a white blouse that was open far enough for me to catch a glimpse of a well rounded breast, her waist was smaller than average and she wore a black skirt that had a slit up almost to her hips and through this I could see black stockings.
Like I said it only took a second to take all this in and another second to decide that maybe, just maybe, I should have second thoughts about my rudeness. "I'm sorry for my rudeness, can we start again? I would love for you to join me."
"May I refresh your drink?"
"Thank you, I'll have a glass of Sauvignon Blanc."
She signalled the barman and ordered two glasses of wine. "I don't usually barge into someone's personal space like this but you looked terribly worried and I just felt like I might be able to take your mind off what's bothering you for a short while. Would you like to talk about it, you don't have to if you don't want to, I won't mind. My name is Frances by the way, my friends call me Fran"
"My name is Hugh and you can't really shorten that. My problem is with your lot. I thought I had it made, a good job that I like, a wife and three great kids, I play sport, have dinner parties with friends, enjoying the odd chuckle juice in the process. It was pretty good until a couple of weeks ago when the wheels fell off big time. I lost my wife and family, my job has changed to the point where I'm no longer getting any sort of satisfaction, and due to an old injury that has come back to haunt me I'm no longer enjoying my sport."
"And how does my lot, and I assume that you mean women, get to be responsible for all of your problems?"
"They're not responsible for all of them, just the ones closest to home. My lovely wife has had several affairs during the twenty odd years we'd been married and I've always been there for her when they ended, I wasn't overjoyed about this but I was convinced that my love for her would withstand all of this."
"So what happened to change this?"
"Her latest fling did the unforgivable and left his wife, he then pressured her into kicking me out so that he could move in. It was then that I realised that the rest of my life wasn't all that great either, my job requires me to comply with procedures that I don't like and that don't work, I've tried to change things but that has got me into hot water with management. I'm in constant pain from this injury and the operation to fix the problem is not guaranteed to ease the pain, in fact in most cases the pain is exacerbated."
"You really do need cheering up."
"I did warn you."
"Don't apologise, not everyone has a perfect life."
"Like you?"
"My life is by no means perfect. I can empathise with your problem with your wife, my husband left me for a new improved model but that didn't last. He wanted to come back but I refused because it wasn't the first time for him either, and it won't be the last. I just wasn't prepared to go through that again. So I got on with my life and every now and then I go out on my own looking for someone like you so that I can try to bring a little joy into his life."
"Are you some sort of amateur psychologist?"
"By no means, I'm just someone who has experienced life's highs and lows and use that experience to help others."
"Do you charge for this service or do you do it for the love of it?"
"That you'll have to find out for yourself."
"Tell me more, I'm curious, and while you're telling me, what do you say to getting something to eat?"
"I would like that very much, that way we can get to know each other better. You might think that the end of the world is just around the corner but life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it."
The dinner was great I think, we talked, we ate, we drank, and we had a good time, but I don't remember anything about it, it was just a blur. "Where do you live?" I asked her as we walked out of the restaurant.
"It's only a block or so from here, why do you ask?"
"I just needed to know whether I should get my car out of the car park so that I could take you home or whether we could walk."
"Let's walk." She linked her arm in mine and pressed closely into me. We stopped several times on the way to her apartment to look at store window displays, I thought it was just so that we could delay the inevitable parting of the ways.
"Would you like to come up for a few minutes?" She asked as we reached the front door of her apartment building.
"Yes I would." We were standing close enough to each other that it only seemed proper that I should take her in my arms and kiss her. Frances showed no inclination to pull away from me so I pressed my luck even further and pushed my tongue against her lips. She opened her mouth and I felt her tongue caress mine.
We separated and she opened the front door and ushered me inside. Taking the elevator to the top floor she led the way down the corridor to her apartment. Inside she took my coat and hung it on a hook behind the door. "Now where were we?" She came into my arms. Her arms were around my neck and her hips were pressed hard against mine, I was sure that she could feel my excitement, it certainly sounded like it, the noises that found their way from her mouth were of pure pleasure, if not lust.
I moved away from her just a little, enough for me to get my hands between us and I slowly unbuttoned her blouse and slipped my hands inside, she too was excited by the feel of things. Her nipples were hard, her breasts firm and unencumbered by any supporting garments so I was able to caress them. Her breath was coming faster and her body was grinding harder into mine, then she dropped her hands from around my neck to around my hips and pulled me savagely into her shuddering body, "Oh my God, oh my God, this is amazing, I have never cum just from kissing. I'm going to enjoy making you happy."
