This segment of My University Life story will be shorter in length but no less filled with passion and intense sex. However, it will also span longer in time.
So, University was now over and a working life was to begin. How would Jane and I's relationship change? What was our future?
Post University Life - Summer 1978 onwards
Though Jane continued to work at the Maritime Museum and attend further education, I found myself somewhat at a loose end once my exams ended. My new job didn't start until late July, so I got some temporary part-time work near the Museum, so we could lunch together.
I confess, however, that sometimes we had lunch in the Museum, a very hurried lunch. Jane would escort me into a closed off area and into an exhibit store, where we had frantic sex. Naughty but very exciting! I noted Sioux smile at me a couple of times as we walked through. A knowing smile I think!
I started work at PoleStar Actuarial Services in the July, having had to buy a proper suit, shoes, shirts and ties! Much to my surprise, I found I enjoyed the job, the fellow graduates and work colleagues. I think the final year project I had done had been "leaked" to them, or at least maybe my tutor had spoken to them about it. Anyway, I was asked to develop the idea further and build a bigger and more specific set of risk models, which I ended up working on solidly for the next 12 months!
I got back home one evening in early September, to find Jane had set the table with glasses of wine and food ready. With a big smile on her face she said,
"It's our first anniversary!"
I was slow on the uptake, as my face obviously had a perplexed look.
She added, "It's 12 months since we moved in here. And a year since we first made love."
"Happy Anniversary," I said back as I moved forward to kiss her.
We had to re-heat the meal!
Later that night, after another session of love making, I lay there with Jane snuggled into me. I thought about the year that had gone by, all we had been through, all the sex we had had. I smiled. Then the mathematician in me kicked in! I estimated that in those last 12 months I had pumped and injected over 5 litres, ten and a bit pints of my semen into Jane's warm and willing womb. I intended to continue at that rate for year 2!
In some ways life changed, in others it stayed the same. We were now a working couple, doing all the everyday things that couples do. We also continued to make love several times a day!
Then, in early 1980, I was approached by a recruitment agency and eventually "poached" for nearly double my existing salary! So I began working in the City of London at an investment bank. It was the start of a crazy couple of work years.
