Starting Over Chapter 2

Starting Over Chapter 2

This is the second in what I hope will be a series of stories about Jack, a senior citizen who discovers there is still life after loosing his wife of 53 years in a tragic auto crash. There are some references in this episode to facts that were described in the first post. If you are interested, please search for it and read it to get a better idea of Jack’s sexual reawakening.

After the fantastic, mind blowing, toe curling, sex that Judy and I had on her massage table, we spent a lot of time together. It was a different relationship than I had ever experienced before. We were not in love, although we cared for each other and greatly enjoyed giving each other great pleasure. (I think I had forgotten what it was like to give someone else great pleasure!) We didn’t want to spend the rest of our lives together. But almost every time we were together, we were really together. That is we were having the most wonderful sex I had experienced in a long time.

We each had families. Judy had a son and a daughter and six lovely grandchildren. I had three sons and five grandchildren. We were welcome, and comfortable, in each other’s families. We had some very candid discussions about our relationship. We decided that marriage wasn’t called for. We kept our own homes. We agreed that we were not exclusive to each other. Judy calle our arrangement, “Friends with Benefits.”

One day Judy called me and invited me to drop over after dinner. She said that it was time for me to meet an old friend of hers. “Be there about 8:00 tonight. The weather will be warm, so we can swim.”

I stopped at the local wind shop and picked up a couple of bottles of my favorite White Zin and a couple of bottles of a good Chardonnay. I didn’t know anything about Judy’s friend that I was on the way to meet, but between the two selections, I thought I had it covered.

Right at 8:00pm, I eased my new Avalon into Judy’s driveway. I couldn’t help but marvel at her gorgeous house . It is a large, long, low profile California Ranch. The garage is attached to one end making the ranch look even bigger. The entrance is warmly landscaped and features a large patio where Judy often welcomes her guests.
