I had spotted him several weeks ago and thought that he looked quite interesting so this was my ideal opportunity to strike up a conversation with him.
"Hi, do you mind if I sit with you, most of the other tables are taken and I didn't want to sit alone." I said to the older gentleman as I leaned forward to put my drink down on the table and unfolded the plastic wrap on the pre-made sandwich.
"Oh please do." The kind older gentleman said as he eyed my body as I sat down.
"It's a beautiful day outside. I parked in the sun so I hope the cars not too warm when I get back there."
"Do you have air conditioning?" He asked as he eyed my breasts through my thin blouse.
"Yes, but it takes a while to get the car cool enough and I don't have that far to go really. I have the car windows cracked about 1/2 inch, I hope that helps."
"You need one of those little wee fans that are advertised on TV, they fit on the closed car window and work by solar energy."
"Wow, that sounds like a great idea, do you have one?" I asked.
"Yes, I bought one, they do help."
"Neat idea, so what do you do? Are you retired?" I asked.
"I'm kind of semi retired, I just work a few days a week now, I'm a Real Estate Broker."
"Ah that must be very interesting, I'm a Computer Programmer."
"Yes, it has been interesting, I got to meet people from all walks of life, I did a lot of Residential Real Estate then later I started my own firm and finished up behind a desk."
"I see, I bought myself a small apartment about a year ago. I love it really, no outside maintenance."
"Oh, whereabouts?" He asked as I leaned forward and bent to the floor to look in my purse, mainly to give him a good peek down the front of my blouse at my bra less breasts.
"Over on Macintosh. The tall white building, number 400." I told him.
"Oh yes, I remember when they went on sale, very nice little units that were all upgraded and fitted with all brand new appliances. What floor did you get?"
"I got a unit on the 4th floor, #11 that's a corner unit. Where do you live?"
"Well I've got a large detached home on Thompson but it's much too big for me, now that I'm on my own. I won't even go in the pool now, when I'm alone." He said.
"I'm Judy, by the way."
"Oh I'm not very polite am I, my names Bob. Here's my card."
"So Bob, you're on your own?"
"Yes, my wife passed away almost two years ago."
"I'm sorry to hear that Bob. It must get rather lonely for you."
"It does Judy, the house is so damn big I could get lost and it sounds so hollow when I'm there all alone. The only time I get visitors is at Christmas when the family gets together for a few days, then it takes me a month to get it cleaned up after they have gone."
"Wow, it sounds like you need to sell it and get yourself a nice apartment somewhere."
"You maybe right, its getting to be a real chore keeping up the outside maintenance."
"Do you come here often Bob, to snack?"
"Just on a Saturday mornings, like today."
"Well I may see you again Bob, I've got to get going now, I have an appointment just over there at the hairdressers in 5 minutes. They are really picky if you're not on time."
