Making the move.
It's always terrifying making the 1st step in anything. But this is not the 1st step. I had been wanting to move for years. It's a sea change I was after. Due to resent losses there was nothing holding me back. I was lucky enough to be able to transfer my long term job and make the move 2 hours away.
But this meant a lot of changes and saying good byes. Some good byes harder than others. It's funny how life is. The ones you think will be the hardest turn out to be some of the easiest. Well this is a tale of where good bye turned to see you later! Well it's not like we won't talk anymore it was just we will likely never set eyes on one another again.
I had mostly packed, just some yard work to do but looking forward to seeing my old friend. These days time is not a friend to either of us. Middle age kinda does that to people.
It was Friday. I made an effort to speak with her about trying to plan a meet up. We had spoken in the past and both up for it but not actually planned anything.
No doubt I was disappointed when I was told she couldn't due to a date night with her husband. Although I didn't really see the connection as it was a 3 day long weekend and we normally did daytime catch ups in the past. This meant it wasn't likely we would actually ever be able to meet up again. It was hard enough when we lived close.
Now let's get things straight. Yes she is married. Yes I am engaged. We are old friends that just enjoy hanging out. I was rejected in the past by her before we met our NOW partners and that's where we left it. Although we were never shy with each other in outlining the physical attraction. Just we never went with it. Other then I'd get a photo sent to me every now and again. Perhaps a selfie of her in a little black dress for date night, or in a sundress on a warm day with a peak of a sexy bra or a strap that had fallen off her shoulder. You know the innocent ones.
I always enjoyed receiving them. Probably a bit more then I should have, if you know what I mean. I actually think I let it slip one time that I had done that with her photo. I detected a hidden smirk or smile which she denied but she didn't stop sending them. I liked that she knew what I was doing with the more sexy ones. I imagined that she wanted me to do it.
Then the move happened and I was spending time unpacking and settling in to my new house. It was in a nice lake side community with all kinds of people. Poor, rich, young families and old retirees. I felt at home although my new house, nice but not home. I was just testing the community before I decided to buy in. But anyway you guys aren't here to read about my move.
I'll fast forward to the day. I had travelled all the way back from my new place. I was so relieved when she turned up in her own car. I just hate to be reminded that we are both older now and I guess that she has a husband.
I had stopped across the road from her. Her door opened, one leg then the next swung out from the car. Clad in light coloured stockings with a black tinge colour to them. Her long legs guided the eyes up to her skirt, it seemed to be a dark denim that came down to her lower thigh. But actually I'd call it closer to half way down her thigh, then closer to her knee and with her stockings. Wowza! Her long thick legs! They were just begging for me to stare. She knew it too. Leaving her legs slightly apart as she leaned back into the passenger seat to grab her purse and phone.
As she stood up. That's when I caught a glimpse of the rest of her outfit of the day. That skirt actually turned out to be overalls, open back and sides with shoulder straps that come down into metal hooks or clips, with a tight white long sleeve shirt underneath. The shirt was thin. You know how thin white shirts are not sheer but you can still see through. Almost opaque but not quite, just giving me a hint of her bra. It was a light colour one, it didn't seem to have much padding but that's all I could tell so far.
Just before she gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek to say hello, my friend pushed on the bottom of my chin to close my mouth that I had forgotten to close while admiring her. With a giggle she said I guess you like my outfit today giving me a little spin.
She run around my car and jumped in. We head off into the National park. As we drove though, she noticed my eyes drifting down to her legs, well I guess that's when I wasn't trying to steal a look at her boobs.
