Readers: Part 2 of the New Neighborhood series. Completely a work of fiction from an overactive imagination. It's important to read the first story to understand the two main characters. Imagine a utopia like this.
*****
It had been quite a day. The four of us enjoyed pizza and a beer while enjoying a late afternoon breeze that took the edge off of a very warm afternoon.
There was something about this adult neighborhood that almost seemed surreal. Although Lynn and I had switched partners with Pam and Gene, I was surprised at how easily I accepted it. Of course there was something in it for me, but in an open relationship there would be times that Lynn would have another lover and I wouldn't. Why didn't that bother me more?
Let's face it. With Lynn's looks and body, every guy in the park would want to have her. She might even tempt some of the guys that have sworn to monogamy. Gene began talking about our neighbors.
"Your neighbors next to you are Scott and Sandy Fowler. I'm surprised they aren't outside right now and for whatever reason they didn't come out until after 9pm. I wouldn't be surprised if you have met them or at least seen them before."
That got my attention. "Really? Where and when would that be?"
"They have operated that hot dog stand and snack truck across from the courthouse downtown for the past 20 years. If you've ever stopped there for a hot dog, soda, or breakfast burrito, you've probably seen them."
Right then I knew who he was talking about. They weren't that old. Especially Sandy. She was somewhat chubby but with a very young face and short blonde hair. She wasn't really that attractive and certainly not what most guys would call "hot". I had seen her a few times and only talked to her enough to place an order. Scott was a tall, skinny guy. Very skinny. Thin face and enlarged nose. Certainly not what women would fall over themselves to call their lover but he seemed to be a very cheerful fellow. Same with Sandy. They had a thriving business on that corner and I never saw them rude with a customer.
"So, how long have they lived here? It can't be too long because they don't even look 40 years old, especially her."
"They were our newest members prior to you two moving in," said Gene. They've only been here for 4 months. Their business keeps them busy during the weekdays but once they get home on Friday night, they love their home. They are both 43, by the way. I agree, Sandy could pass for under 35. She's a sweetheart of a lady though. Never seems to be in a bad mood. Great lay also."
"Gene!" Pam playfully scolded him. "You just like pussy...and her huge titties. Of course, it's not surprising that you were so turned on by Lynn over there. Shit, if I was a lesbian, I'd make a play for her."
Lynn laughed nervously. She was both embarrassed and proud that her naked form had caused such a reaction.
Gene went on to explain that most days they are home before 4 pm. Depending on business needs, they may stay overnight in town. They still had their small home in the city that was sparsely furnished. It was furnished just enough to accommodate them when they had to stay over.
Like the others in our quad, their relationship was open. They openly flirted with every one of the opposite gender. They were the first to acknowledge that they weren't exactly the eye candy that most people desired. That didn't matter. They were happy and comfortable in their own skin. They married at 18 when she became pregnant with their first daughter. She and her younger sister was now married and out of the house and Scott and Sandy took advantage of the opportunity to live clothes-free and sexually free.
Even if they didn't score with someone they hoped they could get to bed, they didn't let it discourage them nor did they take any rejection personally. That is an unusual combination of character traits. Still, according to Gene, they had made some friends in the bedroom since moving in; including Gene and Pam.
The other home, corner to corner from us what inhabited by four people. Jim, Saul, Barb, and Vicki were all employed by the state. They worked in the department of corrections. They had rotating shifts and different days off so it was rare for them to be home at the same time.
They were on vacation together on a nude cruise in the Mediterranean at that time. They were scheduled to be back home sometime after midnight that night. Pam tried to explain how that their relationships were the most unique of anyone else in the park.
Two men, two women. None of them in a committed relationship. They had the only 3 bedroom home in our quad. The den was converted to a bedroom so that they would each have their own room.
They were completely free to have sex with any consenting partner. There wasn't any sense at all of ownership over the others. They had all enjoyed sex with the two of the other gender in our quad. Gene and Pam had even noticed Barb and Vicki being playful with each other in the pool as well. It was simple playing such as grabbing tits, ass, and pussy. Either they were bi or they were just so comfortable with each other that it was normal behavior to them. It didn't matter to Gene and Pam. There was a gay male couple in one of the other quads. They were monogamous yet were very popular with everyone. This wasn't the place for judgmental people. We were to accept everyone's lifestyle; gay, straight, or bi. Monogamous, swingers, open, and any variation of each.
It seemed too good to be true that such a place could exist without insane jealousies or judgments eventually rearing their ugly heads. All it takes is one malcontent to take the fun out of such an ideal life.
Gene suddenly got more serious. There was something he felt that was necessary to get out in the open.
