Boundless Possibilities
I have this problem. Well, maybe not exactly a problem, more a trait, or an ability.
I see possibilities, or alternate realities. Or maybe I'm experiencing parallel universes. Whatever.
As I go through life, it seems I sort of lead multiple lives. It's hard for me to explain and impossible for most people I reveal it to, to accept.
For example, I'm married to my wonderful husband Jake and we have two beautiful daughters. Yet, I have vague memories of being a single career oriented woman who owns a lucrative real estate agency. And then, there are my memories of being a struggling single mom of two (different) children and I can barely make ends meet. And then there's my slut memories: remembering sleeping around with any beautiful woman I happen to meet, and my memories of being a high priced escort and jetting around the world with anyone who could afford me. These are just a few of the many different lifelines I can remember, even though the memories tend to be a bit fuzzy at times.
It's not easy being me. I've often wondered why I haven't been committed to an institution. But, I just accept my fate(s) and move on, albeit, oftentimes confused.
I mean, just last week (at least I think it was last week) I was out shopping and I decided to take a break and get a coffee at the bookstore. You know, one of those coffee shops in the corner of the big national chain bookstores. It was pretty crowded, jam packed in fact; filled with holiday shoppers looking for last minute gifts.
I ordered and collected my lattΔ, then I got lucky and found a table in the corner just as a young couple was leaving. It was the only available table in the shop. So, I sat and started reading the book I'd just purchased while sipping my lattΔ.
It wasn't long before I was approached by a gorgeous young woman who looked to be about twenty or twenty-five, wearing a low cut top with lots of cleavage on display.
"Do you mind if I join you? There doesn't seem to be any empty tables," she said to me as she approached.
"Sure, no problem, have a seat," I told her. "I'm Joan." And I extended my hand.
She placed her coffee on the table and a shopping bag on the floor next to her chair, then she took my hand and gave me a handshake as she sat down opposite me.
"I'm Erica, pleased to meet you," she said, still holding my hand until it almost became awkward. As she let go, my brain was suddenly flooded with new memories of "us".
In my new memories, I recalled we'd met over six months ago ... I was single in that reality ... we'd become lovers ... we had talked of moving in together ... I could visualize her naked, since I had seen her thus many times when we made love. All this and more was instantly burned into my memory as she let go of my hand. I was sort of used to this kind of thing happening to me from time to time, so I didn't let on that anything 'unusual' had happened - actually, bizarre is a better word for it.
"Nice meeting you too, Erica. You come here often, don't you?" I said, more a statement than a question.
"Oh, how'd you know?"
You wouldn't believe me if I told you, I thought to myself. Then my brain conjured up memories of our lips meeting, our tongues swirling around in each other's mouths while I held her warm naked body in my arms.
"You look familiar, I think I've seen you here before," I lied. "I come here often."
As I sat there and looked into Erica's beautiful blue eyes, I wondered if we would become lovers again; but even if we did, this would be an entirely different thread of my existence. Time would tell.
"What are you writing?" Erica asked, no doubt just making polite conversation.
This question unnerved me quite a bit (which happens to me a lot) because I sort of remembered sitting down to read a book I'd just bought, but now, in my newly altered reality (thanks to touching Erica) I was sitting with a laptop in front of me - a partially written story on the screen.
"Erotic stories, I'm a author," I told her.
"Oh my, you mean sex stories?"
"Exactly," I responded.
"Oh that's so hot. Don't you, like, get aroused writing them here, I mean, in public like this?"
"Yes, I do ... my panties are rather moist right now, in fact," I rather bluntly told her.
But, what I didn't tell her was that my extreme arousal was more from remembering lying between her soft naked thighs whilst on her bed with my face buried in her beautiful wet cunt. My lips sucking her swollen clit into my mouth and my tongue flicking rapidly over the tip of her turgid button and bringing her to a glorious orgasm - that's what I was writing about.
"Oh my god, really?"
"Yep. Here, see for yourself," I said as I pushed my laptop in front of her.
