Hello readers,
This story was requested by a reader and is shared with the reader's knowledge.
For those of you that follow me this is far from the normal kind of story I write so I ask for a bit of forgiveness if it isn't quite up to my normal levels of writing.
The combined chapter 6 & 7 of the Bad day series is in the works as is chapter 2 of I slept on the couch. I don't have a time frame for either one yet but I am hoping to get one of them out before the end of the month.
I thank you all for your patience and I hope you enjoy this story.
Enjoy.

When I met her she was married to an old friend of mine, Simon, that I hadn't seen in years. She was a stunning brunette with beautiful hazel eyes. She was what the kids these days call thicc.
She was wearing jeans that hugged her curves in all the right places and a button up blouse, that was open except where it was tied under her ample breasts, with a low cut tank top on under it.
As time went on I got to talking to her through social media and we had a lot in common. She was a bright and funny woman with a smile that could melt the coldest of hearts.
Her name was Hope and that was what she gave me.
A few years before I met her I had to put my life on hold to help take care of my ailing parents. I was lucky that I had a job that allowed me to work from home. My mother had passed on by this time so I was the caregiver for my father who was in better health than my mother had been and he encouraged me to start going out with my friends again.
I was talking to Hope on Facebook one day, she seemed bothered by something.
"You seem distracted, is everything alright?" I asked her
There was a pause for a few seconds before she replied, "Can I ask you something personal?"
I was quick with my reply, "Sure, just understand if it is too personal I might not answer it but I don't have anything to hide."
"When you are seeing someone, how often do you have sex?" she asked quickly.
I was a little shocked, we'd never talked about sex and relationships before. Most of our conversations were about cute things like kitten videos and music we liked. I had to think a little bit about how I wanted to answer her.
I decided to answer her truthfully without any jokes, "well, it depends on the desires of my partner. If she has a high sex drive then a couple of times a week. If it isn't that high maybe once a week."
Her reply was quick, "if she came into the room wearing sexy lingerie and sat on your lap, would you ignore her and keep playing your video games?"
I laughed to myself, "No. If she comes in like that the game is getting turned off."
"Am I ugly?" I could hear the pain in those three words.
