The romantic weekend idea worked great. Every 2 to 4 months depending on time of the year, weather, location, etc. we would meet for a long weekend.
We met in Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C., Miami among other places.
My favorite meeting was at South Beach in Miami. At the beach I suggested she take off her bikini top. She agreed. Her 36C boobs looked great. They got a lot of MILF looks. That got me fired up. Returning our room, we made passionate love that afternoon rather than waiting for the evening.
Between romantic weekends we texted and/or emailed at least once a week. Occasionally we spoke on the telephone.
We were getting to be great friends and more. We talked about marriage. But that would not work. Her boys were in Northern Ohio and my children were scattered across the Midwest.
We talked about anything and everything. She worked her best high school friend, Debby Potts, into conversations. I found out Debby, who I had the hots for after Rhoda and broke up, would have gone out with me. But we barely knew each other. Such is life.
After a few of our weekend romances Debby's marriage broke apart. Her husband worked at her father's successful avionics business. After her father sold the company he divorced her. The divorce was unexpected. It got ugly. Debby was destroyed.
Rhoda did her best to help Debby. She used me as her sounding board. Rhoda bounced ideas off me on how to help Debby. What she really wanted someone to talk to. I listened.
Then I got The Call. From the beginning of the conversation Rhoda talked about Debby. Debby was really down on herself. She was depressed. Nothing in her life was going right. She could not get any relationships going. Debby felt ugly and undesirable.
Debby stood 5' 6". Compared to Rhoda she did not have an athletic build. Looks wise the edge went to Rhoda. Debby was a full-figured gal with an hourglass figure. In high school her boobs were 36Ds. Looking at present photographs she kept in good shape. As she aged her boobs grew to 36Es. Her Marilyn Monroe type butt was shapely. She wore her chestnut brown hair parted in the middle, shoulder length with a bit of a wave. She had great thick brown eyebrows. Her olive complexion was flawless.
Rhoda kept on talking about Debby and her problems. Then came The Question.
"Mike, Debby is in terrible shape. She is so down on everything. She is desperate for something to go right in her life."
There was a long pause.
"Mike would you please come to Akron and romance Debby?"
"What do you mean by romance Debby?"
"Mike, you and I are dear friends. Our relationship is rock solid. Debby and I are dear friends. Our relationship is rock solid. She understands your and my relationship is rock solid.
There was another long pause.
"Mike, would you come to Akron, meet with Debby and make love to her? She desperately needs it. She and I have talked this over thoroughly. I will have no problem if you do this. She understands it happens once and only once to get her thinking she is desirable to a man. What do you say?"
Wow I thought to myself. I expected Rhoda was going to suggest the three of us meet, hang out and do things together. But not this.
"Rhoda, I understand your wanting to help out your best friend. This is a huge deal. Let me think about it and call you back."
After hanging up and pondering the situation I warmed up to the idea. Was I a gigolo? Was I a sex therapist? Was I both?
I called Rhoda the next evening.
"Rhoda I gave your proposition a lot of thought. I'll do it. But only if you guarantee me you can handle it."
"Mike, I can handle it. Debby is my best friend. She's at the end of her rope. She's got to have something positive happen in her life."
"You've got to be sure. Debby's psyche is so fragile once this plan is in motion there is no turning back."
"Mike, I'm certain this is the thing to do."
"Ok. When?"
"How about a week from Friday."
"Ok. I'll make plane reservations now."
"Let me put a schedule together and we'll talk."
"Ok."
We talked later that week. Debby would fly to Cleveland Friday morning. Rhoda and Debby would hang around each other Friday and get mentally prepared for the weekend. I would fly into Cleveland Friday evening. The three of us would go to a nice restaurant in Akron then hang around and get comfortable with each other and the circumstances. Saturday I would romance Debby.
Unfortunately, I had trouble getting to Cleveland. It was bad weather again, thunderstorms over the Midwest. My 4:00 PM arrival kept getting pushed back. I kept Rhoda informed about my flight problems. The evening plans got changed from dining at a nice restaurant to carryout pizza to get to Rhoda's house when I could.
I finally got to Rhoda's house at 12:30 AM. Rhoda was fine, but Debby was a wreck.
Debby had been crying, she was dressed in warmups, she was slouching. Her glasses frames were oversized. The frames obscured her lovely brown eyebrows.
Debby walked briskly to me. She hugged me and placed the right side of her head on my chest, sobbing all the while. I patted her on the back.
I looked at Rhoda. She held up her right index finger and mouthed "In a minute."
I continued to pat Debby on the back.
Two minutes later Debby spoke.
"Mike I'm so sorry I'm such a mess. This is no way to start the weekend. Please excuse me. I want to go to bed. It is so good to see you."
"Likewise Debby."
Once Debby cleared the room Rhoda came up to me.
"Even though I showed her your texts, emails and on-line airline information about your delayed flights Debby though you weren't coming. She thought you were going to stand her up. That's how fragile she is. She did not dress up because I was going to do her hair and make up for you. Hence the warmups."
"How are you doing?" I asked.
"Good. It's so good to see you. We can salvage this weekend starting in the morning. I'd love to share a bed with you tonight, but let's give Debby a neutral feel to the weekend. We will see what happens after you and Debby do your thing tomorrow night." She gave me a wink.
I retired to a bedroom and soon fell asleep.
