I'm Mike, late 40's after being widowed a couple of years ago I am again fairly happy. I'm just under 6 ft tall, about 180 lbs. and reasonably fit and healthy. I work at a local supermarket and although I know most of the people there they are work friends not real friends which suits me fine. I live about a mile away in a 3 bedroom semi detached house and have several friends close by.
One of the people who lives in the next road is Jill, about the same age as me, recently separated and who used to work in the same store. Her soon to be ex husband use to work there as well and he left about 6 months ago to move to another part of the country with various rumours about affairs with various people in and out of the company. A lot of people kept their distance from Jill as they were unsure what to say but she had visited me when my wife died so I had decided to stay friendly towards her and over the past few weeks I have been invited for coffee and agreed to do small jobs around the house for her.
Jill is about 5'9" tall, reasonably slim with a figure I'd guess at 35c 24 35 and about 140 lbs, with long brown hair, long legs and a nice personality. One Wednesday I met her in the town centre and she asked me to dinner that Saturday night. I protested that it wasn't necessary but she insisted and I eventually agreed to be there for about 7pm.
I arrived with a bottle of white wine and I was stunned when she opened the door. Her long brown hair had been cut and it was now stylishly cut into a bob which really suited her face.
After a fews seconds i said ' Wow, that really suits you, you look even younger "
'How old do I look then and more to the point how old did I look?"
"You look early 30's now and before, well, you looked your age, but still very pretty" I added before she took the compliment the wrong way.
"Thank you, for that you can come in and have the dinner I've prepared."
I closed the door behind me and could smell the dinner cooking .
"Nothing special just soup, steak with sweet potato fries and creme brรปlรฉe to finish."
"Sounds lovely" I replied as I put the wine down. We had a drink from the bottle already open and I looked again at her. The hair did make her look a lot younger and her top and trousers showed her figure off, the trousers perhaps a bit tight round her bottom as she turned round but showing it was nice and tight.
We chatted for a while in the kitchen as she finished preparing the meal and then we went into the dining room and sat down at the table to enjoy the food.
I'd fetched a little blue tablet with me more in hope than expectation as she had been flirty with me recently and I wondered if it was too soon to make a move or would it ruin the friendship?
"Mike, I'd like to thank you for being a friend over the past weeks especially as you still have to work with that two timing soon to be ex husband of mine. I've really appreciated it. He left me for Penny, who you know, she's a few years younger than me , but I got the last laugh when he tried to come back after a couple of weeks. He told me he had seen the errors of his ways but Penny had already phoned me and told me she had thrown him out as she caught me chatting up someone else."
I nodded, "Well I don't work with him any more he got transferred away and Penny moved to the other store in the town to avoid the gossip."โจ"I met Penny, thought I'd probably punch her but she was quite nice and we even had a laugh, but didn't know he'd moved away. Good riddance.Its time to move on and the hair was the first thing to go, I only kept it long because he wanted it like that."
