Gill was looking forward to her young colleagues wedding, the girls in the office had spoke of little else for months, and being in her late 30's and married over 15 years, Gill tried hard to offer advice and support without dwelling on the frustration she felt with her incredibly boring husband Ian. He was supportive, kind, a good father to their twin 8yr old daughters, but had become so so boring! He had a boring job as a heating engineer, went fishing, and was very boring in bed. Sex was like one of his boiler fitting instructions - roll over and kiss Gill, rub her nipples and pull her nightie up, play with her pussy until she showed signs of being wet, let her stroke his cock, climb on top, thrust inside as she put his legs around her until he came and she faked yet another orgasm before he rolled over to sleep and she used the en suite to clean herself up before lying in bed wanting to scream!
The brides parents owned a small farm and stables so the wedding was being held in a marquee in their large garden and paddock. Her father ran a large construction business so it promised to be a smart do! Gill had been putting some money aside for a few months with a view to going shopping and treating herself to a complete new outfit. She seemed to spend her salary on the girls, the house and rarely on herself. Around 3 weeks before the wedding she hit the smart shops with her best friend Sarah, whilst Ian took the girls bowling and for a pizza.
Sarah was 38 like Gill, divorced and was great fun. She had worked as BA Cabin crew for a few years and then married a pilot - no cliché there! But he moved on a couple of years ago and she had a good settlement and had set herself up with a former colleague offering home interior design and products. She was well aware of the fact that Gill needed cheering up, and on girlie nights out, she had encouraged Gill to have some fun, Gill had never had the courage to follow her advice.
As they started doing the rounds of the shops, they started shortlisting dresses, with Sarah encouraging her towards the sexier end of the spectrum. Gill finally settled for a cream and navy wrap dress, which was just above the knee, with some gorgeous strappy navy silk sandals.
"Lingerie now" ordered Sarah
"I'll just wear what I have" replied Gill - it's not as if anyone bar me or Ian is going to see it!
"No way, nice lingerie is for you and nobody else, you can't wear that dress without some gorgeous lingerie and holdups or stockings" Sarah took control and they were soon perusing lingerie, the decision was made and Gill took out her card to pay for a lovely lacy ivory bra and silky French Knickers, plus two pairs of sheer natural holdups (Sarah reminding her that as Cabin Crew you always carried spares!!
It was no mid afternoon and they decided to have lunch and a glass of bubbles before catching the train home.
Sarah teased her "When Ian sees your new undies he will be all over you like a rash!" Gill giggled, and replied "I'd have more chance of that if I was dressed up like a central heating boiler!"
The wedding morning arrived, and with the girls dropped off with friends, Gill had a nice bath, did her hair and makeup and looked at herself in the mirror, happy with her choices and grateful to Sarah for pushing her a little out of her comfort zone. The new lingerie felt gorgeous, and she looked at herself and for the first time in ages thought - I actually look sexy!!
Ian told her she looked "nice" and went on to say "I hope it doesn't go on too late, and go steady on the wine, you don't want a hangover tomorrow." It was a lovely June day, Gill looked and felt great and there was no way she was letting Ian put a downer on the day!
The wedding was beautiful and the setting was amazing, no expense spared. As they looked for their table, they found it was a good mix of a couple of Gills work colleagues as well as a couple who were the grooms colleagues and John, a single friend of the grooms who Gill had met briefly when she had called at their house one weekend. John was around 32-33, and was charming and funny. He was placed next to Gill, Ellie the bride had thought he's make a good antidote to Ian who was sat the other side of her. Wine flowed freely, and everyone bar Ian who had elected to drive so they could collect the girls was getting well into the spirit of things.
Gill was getting tipsy and enjoying herself and even found herself flirting with John in a very subtle way. The whole table were a fun group (bar Ian) and as the reception merged into the evening party, the music started and Gill and her colleagues and friends danced and enjoyed the free cocktails and food. Ian danced briefly, then at 10 said they ought to go soon or the girls would be up too late! Anna one of Gills other colleagues was very tipsy and called him a "boring spoilsport" and said he could go and they would drop Gill off when her sister came to collect her and her boyfriend WHEN the party was over!!. Gill guessed he would do this and probably be in a sulk tomorrow, but she thought "fuck him" I'm having great fun and the girls babysitters had offered to take them home and stay over if needs be but Ian had said there was no need because they wouldn't be late!
He thanked the bride and groom and her parents before reminding Gill "not to drink any more, and to be quiet when she got in and to drink some water before bed, and possibly sleeping in the spare room rather than disturb him!." She gave him a little kiss and said "Ok Dad!" and off he went. Gill had danced until her feet ached and decided to get a drink and sit outside. Her younger colleagues were definitely showing her age and she laughed as she reminded them she was was heading for 40 and a mother of 2.
John was sat outside with another couple and she asked if she could join them. They chatted for a while and then the couple went to get some drinks and for a dance, leaving her with John. She thanked him for his company at the reception and apologised for Ian who had followed up the usual "what do you do for a living?" question with a run down of his role fitting and servicing heating systems and then asking John what sort of boiler he had, and went on to list a number of faults he should look out for! John laughed, and said "that was a particular high point in the conversation." as he smiled at Gill. "I guess he must have some hidden attributes to have pulled a sexy wife like you!" Gill blushed and replied "Young love...marry in haste, repent at leisure."
John had been single for a couple of years, and he and David the groom had been mates since Uni, both having an eye for the ladies, and enjoying a laugh - a pair of "work hard, play hard guys". In fact when he had asked David if he had lined up any skirt for him to seduce at the wedding, David had replied "Gill, Ellie's older colleague will be there with her boring husband, I'd say if you play your cards right, you could have her." With Ian now out of sight and probably out of mind, John thought back to David's words..
Gill was feeling mellow, and if truth be told, a little horny. John's compliments and his presence was making her feel a little flirtatious, and when she told him she needed a wee, he offered to walk her along the path to the garden where there were "posh" mobile toilets. She asked him how he was getting back to where he was staying, and he said he was getting a lift to a hotel a couple of miles away. The cars were parked in the paddock next to the garden and he said he was going to put his jacket in the car. Gill said she'd walk with him, and said let me guess which car is yours, starting with a BMW, then a very sporty Audi, and then jokingly, a Transit van which clearly belonged to the caterers. As they walked along the row, John pressed the key job and the lights flashed on a rather smart Range Rover Sport - "look at you, Mr Flash" Gill teased - "John said he did a lot of miles and sometimes towed, so it was his dream car.
"I don't think I have ever sat in a Range Rover"
"Well let this be your first" John replied as he opened the passenger door.
