The idea for these narratives started as talks with my wife about my sex drive vs. hers. She holds the viewpoint that I am somewhat overly focused on sex at our age, which is for us, early our 50s. We have had many discussions and comparing of experiences, what it all actually accomplished is yet to be seen.
If you are in a hurry to get to the fucking and sucking part, this story might go a little slow for the quick stroke folks. Just a heads up!

Chapter 3 -- Spring Fling
My first year of college was shaping up to be way more fun than anything I had experienced before. Within a few weeks of the start of school that fall, I had figured out that classes so far were not taking much of my attention to pass. I filled up some time with teaching high school and middle school students private lessons and even playing a few gigs at local churches, recording sessions back home and other sundry money making ventures.
I had also figured out that I was going to drinking, smoking pot and fucking like I had just discovered all three. I had what was supposed to be a one time fling with a girl I had none since elementary school that was a very hot and sexy black girl. The one time status lasted until her boyfriend at an out of state school cheated on her.
I got the benefit of the revenge/break up sex. So far, we had only been together twice. I respected her wishes but kept my fingers.
The major development of the fall was hooking up with Rhonda, a wild curly-haired blonde with 40D boobs and a great sense of humor. We partied and fucked like bunnies, but without any of the relationship/kissing your girlfriend's ass bullshit that I knew all too well. I kept waiting for the shit to start, but it never really came to be, at least not in the way I expected.
Rhonda and I set aside time to be together and mostly never broke what passed for a date. We went to parties as a couple, we ate together sometimes, but expectations were kept in check. I knew Rhonda saw other people, but it wasn't my business. She knew about both times I had been with Lenore. Rhonda's only comment was "How could you not do her...she's fucking hot!" I'm pretty sure the only thing in way of a three-way was Lenore's unlikely acceptance of the possibility.
Sunday afternoon about 3 pm become our time. The record was 10 Sundays in a row from January through mid March. We also made some trip and got away from campus and all the bullshit that goes with living in dorms. My time with Rhonda lingers in my mind as a very happy time.
You might have thought that would be enough, hunh? No, it wasn't and I was soon to learn a lesson a mocking other guys that slept with every girl they could get naked or near enough to get the job done.
In the spring, several beauty pageants happened in the area. At that time, each event contracted musicians to play in the show band for incidental music and for the talent portion of the show as needed. The pageants too paid well and I glad to play three local events that spring.
My roommate and hometown buddy got me those jobs and set me up as one of the arrangers for the contestants on two of the pageants. If you have any clichΓ©s in your mind about what that might have been like, focus on the ones about how bitchy the contestants can be. My buddy Curt kept the biggest bitches for himself and let me work with what he called the "cup cakes" with the additional admonishment of:
"Don't try to get to be the cream filling ...it never goes well."
I did fine until the third pageant. One of my writing projects at the "Miss Lake You've Never Heard Of" pageant was a stunning 5"-8", short haired, brunette 20 year old with a swimmer's body, a 34D bust and a nice ass that was a combination of firm and lush that one doesn't see on a Caucasian girl very often.
The worst problem in not becoming interested in Joy was that she happened to be nowhere near the zip code of being a bitch. She wasn't a trained singer, but she had a lovely voice. Where I'm pretty I got into trouble with her was the extra attention she got from me to get her ready for the show. I even set her up with some vocal coaching from another friend who did a great job helping Joy have more confidence and skill with her voice.
After about the third or forth lesson with her vocal couch, Joy found me in the Fine Arts Building lobby and gave me a hell of a hug and a kiss on the cheek saying she could wait for me to hear her sing "Now That I know what to do..." etc. No one missed that show and it earned me another bit of advice from Curt.
"If you're going to fuck her, wait until the week just before the pageant. She'll have some nervous energy to work off and you might as well be the one..."
When I asked him how he knew that, I got no answer except for a "been there, done that" smile. I put it out of my mind as I was treating my relationship with Rhonda like a "relationship". Why screw it up over a little strange? It also occurred to me that Rhonda wasn't my girl friend even if we did hang out, get high and fuck on a regular basis. What could Rhonda possible say to me as long as I didn't rub her nose in any affair I might choose to have?
The other "sticky part" was that Joy ended up owing me money for the arrangement I orchestrated for her. Curt had taught that the deal was half the money up front and the other half at the pre-dress rehearsal for the contestants that used the pit band as accompaniment for their talent.
Joy didn't have the money at that rehearsal. I don't even remember her excuse. Over the few weeks before the pageant, I had learned that Joy wasn't a spoiled little bitch whose adventures were funded by Mom and Dad. She was working for her money and had been too busy to think about this rehearsal and when she last got a paycheck.
She also started tearing up and blubbering about the situation. I declared it to be not a problem, mostly because I had enough money to more than make ends meet and secondly so she would stop fucking crying. Fuck me and I don't mean literally.
I'd rather take an ass whipping that deal with crying women!
No more was said of it until the night of the pageant. Joy sang great and finished second in the talent category as well as finishing runner up. She was happy with the results and that was all that I needed to know.
The money was far enough out of my mind that I was more interested in getting to the musician's after party at Linda's house. Curt and Linda were fiancΓ©s and would marry after they graduated.
As I cleared the loading dock door of the auditorium, I heard Joy say, "You're in a big hurry, but you forgot something..."
As I stopped and turned she tried to hand me something. With both of arms full of the trapping we needed to get through the show, she dropped the unsealed envelope and the money spilled out. We almost knocked heads making sure the twenties and tens didn't fly away on the breeze.
Once we got the job done and made eye contact the negotiation began with me saying:
"Joy, it's too much...you don't need to overpay me...please..."
"Mal, I screwed up and I want you to take what I owe you and some interest." She countered. "Don't make me beg you. I might cry again..."
That made me snap a bit and I answered, "Fuck it. I'm not going to argue with you..."
She beamed as if she had won another award and flowed up with; "Good. I didn't want to argue either."
