The bar was overly crowded, smoky and loud. But, what else was there in the town for a thirty five year old single man to do? James sat on the barstool looking into the beer he had been nursing for over an hour and sighed. "What am I doing here?" he thought to himself "I'm not young anymore and these places just end up depressing me." HIs mind drifted back a few hours to the point at which he had lost the argument with his friend Robert.
"Rob I really don't think going to the bar would be a good idea, I have a lot of paperwork to finish before tomorrow. If I don't get it done none of my employees will get paid this week." James said to the overly critical looking man who stood in front of the desk in the small office he occupied.
"Look James I have known you for what? Thirty four years now?" The shaggy head shook side to side as Robert chided him. "I know you're still hurting from Janette leaving you. But! It really is time you got out and away from this stuffy office. You need some time outside of work."
"Rob I really appreciate the offer but I am not in the mood. Besides its cold out tonight and all the young guys and girls will be going to try and find a warm body for the night. I am too old for the bar now."
"Too old? Shit my friend if you're old then what am I?" Robert said hands outstretched. "I am nearly three years older than you, and as for the warm body comment. You of all people need a warm body to comfort you tonight. It's been what five; maybe six years since Janette left you for that rich asshole from New York?"
The pained expression in James' eyes made Robert shudder from his blunt assessment of his friend's tragedy. "I'm sorry James, but you need to come out of that fortress you have built and meet with people again. Who knows maybe you will actually have fun for once."
"I have fun!" James protested. "Wasn't the golf outing to Myrtle Beach fun Robert? I didn't hear you complaining while we were there." His eyes were locked on his friend daring him to deny he had fun. James knew that Robert had met up with a pair of girls at a nightclub there. He knew because he could hear them through the wall of his hotel room as his friend brought them both to shrieking ecstasy time and again.
With a shaking head and a slightly pained look in his eyes Robert said softly. "James my friend that was over two years ago. You have spent the last six years since Janette left here in the office or at home in a truly depressing funk. You are coming out tonight if I have to drag you out." The finality of that statement sounded like a death knell to James, but he nodded with resignation.
So like a good friend James sat at the bar while Robert flirted outrageously with a twenty something blonde. He noted the blonde looked a great deal like the office assistant he had just hired. If that was the case she had just turned twenty one and he knew her father quite well. Her short skirt and nearly see through black top showed off her ample breasts and her nice, all be it flattish bottom. With a shake of his head and another look into the still unfinished beer James began another delving into his memory. He was twenty when had first met Janette. She was a hazel eyed beauty he had met while attending college out of state. Her light laugh and sincere smile drew him instantly.
James remembered the first night they had spent in each other's arms. She had been dressed for a formal dance, a beautiful scarlet dress that cascaded down her body. Her shoulders were bare and her tanned skin drew James' eyes and heart like no woman ever had. No one could say that James looked like a slob either. His suit was of a pale grey and looked very elegant. James always looked good in a suit. They had danced the night away with reckless abandon, laughing and enjoying the closeness of each other. When the time came for them to depart they wandered slowly to her apartment just off campus. James held her tight as he planned to make his goodnight and leave her to return to his own dorm room.
"Stay with me tonight James." The words still sounded sweet in his memories. "I want you to stay with me tonight and forever" Her eyes were filled almost with tears as her words flooded out.
Without a word of protest or acceptance James followed her to her apartment. Once inside the door however the mood changed from the somber proclamation of love to one of pure young lust. James pinned her to the wall just inside the door and kissed her ruby lips with an almost animal need. Janette's lips were soft, sweet, and inviting. She parted them and sought his tongue for that most intimate of kisses. Long they stayed in that embrace, his body pinning her to the wall and her arms flung around his shoulders. The heat between them was nearly stifling as they broke from the kiss to stare in each other's eyes. He knew what she wanted of him and Janette knew her body would bring about his own pleasure. She took James' hand and quickly led him to the bedroom. Once inside she pushed him playfully onto her large bed. His smile was filled with love and joy as he watched her swirl in a dance just for him.
The crimson dress looked even more beautiful to James as Janette slowly unzipped it from the back and slid out of it. With a whisper the dress feel to the floor in circle surrounding the beautiful woman he had desired for months. Her tiny frame was there for him to behold. A smallish red strapless bra held her pert breasts up. James continued to look over his beautiful Janette. Down her body his eyes fell, her flat stomach was as golden as the rest of her skin; her tight bottom was covered with a pair of red silk panties. Down and down his vision slid, her legs were covered in that most lust inducing item, silk thigh high stockings covered the perfect curves of her legs. Her tiny feet were still in her four inch red heels.
With a nearly audible gasp James stood and moved to her, enfolding her in his warm embrace as his lips once again found hers. Her tiny hands worked at the belt at his waist as they continued to kiss. With a flourish she zipped his belt loose and then tossed it aside. The girlish giggle that followed made James even happier. The gasp that followed though dismayed him, without knowing why James looked down to see his pants around his ankles and his boxers bulging quite a ways out. Janette stood staring at him her hands to her mouth.
"My gods James!" Janette exclaimed "I mean. I mean you never. Told me." her voice was wavering between shock, horror and total excitement.
