Saturday 2:19 pm
Sarah sat by the hotel pool on a hot day in July, waiting for her husband Carl. Her curvy body fit comfortably in the light blue one piece swimsuit. Maybe Sarah wasn't going to be on the cover of the swimsuit issue she still felt sexy in her 38-26-38 figure with shoulder length light brown hair and brown eyes. At the high school she taught at she still got looks from the male teachers and some of the senior boys.
Of course, she wouldn't know she was sexy or even attractive based on her husband. Though Sarah had only been married six years the fire had gone out. Sarah was pretty sure Carl was having an affair. All the time she had heard him on the call and his denials later.
Why hadn't she said something or just left?
Of course, why any other woman would want a guy with a pot belly and comb over, who couldn't find a clitoris or last more than five minutes, was beyond her but it still hurt.
As she looked around Sarah noticed a copy of Great Expectations on the pool chair next to her. Sarah perked up. Who was reading that, she wondered. Given her luck it was probably a high school student doing their summer reading. She couldn't resist, she had to pick up the book and see how far they were in the Dickens classic. Halfway through, not bad she thought.
"Excuse me, do you like my book?" a voice asked.
Sarah looked up and was stunned. He was gorgeous, she thought. His 6-foot 2 body was dripping wet from having just been in the pool. The water came off his firm, defined biceps and pecs. He grabbed a towel and started drying his flat stomach and defined legs. When he sat down his short, light brown hair and hazel eyes instantly captivated her.
"Ooohh, I am sorry. I was just curious. I am a high school English teacher and teach that book every year. Have never seen anyone read it but unhappy 17-year-olds," she said.
"Ha, ha. Sorry to disappoint. I am no high school kid."
"Nooo, you're not," Sarah said trying to catch herself and not sound so excited.
"I am Greg, it's nice to meet you," he took out his hand with a warm smile.
"Sarah, a pleasure," she said as she shook his firm hand. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Why are you reading this? It's not exactly Harry Potter or the Hunger Games."
"No, it's much better."
Sarah laughed and shooed him away, caressing his firm arms. He looked and smiled.
"I am doing it for my nephew. He is in summer school, and I told him if he would read it so would I. I am happy I did."
"That's great."
"Thanks. So, you teach high school, and all the students are unhappy?"
"Yup."
"I have a hard time believing that. If you were in my school I would've loved your class," Greg said as he looked over and smiled. He was checking her out and appeared to like what he saw.
Sarah blushed.
"You know everyone thinks their teachers are ugly old farts."
"Well, mine were and you are none of those things Sarah. What brings you here?"
"Just getting out of town for the weekend."
"Me too. What town?"
"Pittsburgh."
"No kidding, I live in Union."
"Get out of here. Really?" she said lightly pushing him away and laughing, "That's great."
"It's Union, it's not great. But that's ok. I grew up there and my brother and I own a restaurant."
"What do you do there?"
"I am head chief and my brother handles the business side."
"What's the name of the restaurant?"
"Martel's. That's my last name. Are you from Pittsburgh?"
"A Yinzer born and raised."
"You should come by some time, love to have you."
Sarah's eyebrows perked up and she smiled.
"Look, I am going to get a drink at the bar do you want anything?" Greg asked.
At that moment Sarah saw Carl heading her way.
"No, I'm fine. Look, I didn't want to give you the wrong idea. I am married and my husband is coming."
"Oh, that's ok. I understand. I didn't see a ring. You can't blame a guy for talking to be a pretty lady. I'll be back in a bit."
Greg took off and Sarah watched as he crossed paths with her husband. Carl's fat gut hanging out was a contrast to Greg's tight little butt. She wanted him badly. She had not felt this sexy in years.
"Hey, how are you," Carl asked. "Guess who I ran into, Mike Schumacher. You believe that? We're going to join him and Mary for dinner tonight. Pretty crazy. I try to go out of town, and boom I meet somebody I always see at McCaby's for happy hour."
"Seriously?"
"What?"
"We're supposed to be having a couple's getaway," Sarah said as she motioned her finger between the two of them. "Not hang out and watch sports night."
"We're not watching sports. Jeez."
