My name is Steve and this is a somewhat true story that occurred a few years ago when my best friend from high school, Art, was about to marry Jill, who was also an old high school classmate. By this time we were all in our late 20s, but Jill was one of those women who had everything going for her. She was not only a very good looking lady with a terrific body and a to-die-for smile, but was also brainy having gotten a full scholarship to Cornell where she studied biochemistry before getting a Ph.D. in pharmacology from Johns Hopkins. What wasn't there to like?
To give some history I had dated Jill a couple of times in high school and she was even my date to the senior prom. We really liked one another, but that is pretty much where things ended as we never had sex and for that matter never did much of anything else than some mild necking. I was still single and have to admit that I was very envious of Art, but he had been a nearly lifelong friend. His older brother was going to be his best man but he wanted me to be one of his groomsmen. I readily agreed.
It was to be a mid-September wedding on Maryland's eastern shore with a reception at the Inn at Perry Cabin, a very posh location on gorgeous Chesapeake Bay. It was a convenient enough location being only a couple of hours from where I was living at the time in Philadelphia. I like being on the water and love sailing so I took a couple of extra days and on Thursday went out on the bay with some old fraternity brothers. Despite the light rain that lasted all day, but as sailors with appropriate foul weather gear, we still spent hours cruising the bay. Afterward we found a great seafood restaurant where we relived many of our college experiences. Afterward I wound up at the Inn, registered and got to my room, well not so much a room as a suite--it was awesome.
After I opened my luggage and checked out the bathroom, I found a bottle of Yuengling in the mini-bar and settled in to watch TV. The beer tasted good despite being my fourth of the evening. I tuned into the baseball game and fortunately it was the Phillies playing a doubleheader. Just as I was getting interested there came a knock at the door. I sort of cursed the interruption because the game had just gotten good as the Phillies had bases loaded. Nevertheless, I answered the door.
There stood a tall brunette woman wearing cargo shorts, tee shirt, boat shoes and a yellow foul weather jacket that glistened from the rain. It was Jill.
"Hi," she said. "I heard that you got in a day early so I thought I'd come around and say 'hi' and maybe we could have a drink together. You know, for old time sake."
"I'm glad you did, but let's get you out of that wet jacket," I offered.
"Oh, thanks. Yeah, it's pouring out and I got drenched just coming from the car to the lobby," Jill said taking off the dripping rain jacket revealing that she hadn't had it zipped up and her tee shirt was wet enough to cling to her body revealing the wonderful set of boobs being held by a sexy lace brassiere. Clearly, she had grown one impressive rack since high school.
"You're looking great," I began but not being able to take my eyes off her chest. "So, are you looking forward to getting married on Saturday?"
"I am plus I think I'm ready. I've worked plenty hard to get where I am and am fortunate enough to have landed a great job with a leading pharma company. Besides you've known Art for as long as you've known me. We're perfect together and I'm looking forward to bearing his children."
"You and I did have a fun time during high school. I'm just sorry that we lost track of one another."
"We did even if we didn't date that long. It kind of ended when you took me to the senior prom. You were so handsome in your tuxedo. Seeing you wearing one this Saturday will give me some flashbacks, I'm sure."
"Can I get you a drink?"
"Sure, A beer? Some wine? What would you like?"
"A beer would be fine, thanks. I had no idea that I would get so wet coming in from the car. Can I use your hairdryer to dry out my tee shirt? It's wet and I'm getting cold."
"Sure. Come on," I said leading Jill to the bathroom and getting the hairdryer for her.
