My messy divorce was finally over! After eight years of marriage, Diane decided that her rich boss had more to offer her than I did but proceeded to take me to the cleaners as well. Her lawyer was a barracuda compared to mine since the new boyfriend could afford to pay for the best. I, on the other hand, always held marginalized jobs as an accounting clerk and had to settle for the cheapest lawyer I could find. The house and my rattletrap of a car was all I kept.
I was surprisingly not as bitter as I thought I would be; I was only in my early thirties and had my health and a reasonably stable job. The house was almost paid for thanks to an inheritance from my father β this was the one reason Diane couldn't force me to sell the house for a division of property. All in all, I was lonely but not bereft over the situation.
For the last year or so, our sex life had deteriorated to a level of almost zip; it was of course timed to when she got her job working with Mr Big Bucks. As a still functioning male with all the needs associated therewith, I ended up with getting myself off whenever I was horny - which seemed to be all the time. I suppose when you can't get it regularly in your marriage, you either go elsewhere or masturbate. I was brought up to believe that marriage was forever and you work out the problems or at least stick with it; you don't cheat on your spouse no matter what. How naΓ―ve is that, eh?
Anyway, as I was lying on my bed one night and watching a hard porn movie I had rented, my mind slipped back to the time when my best friend Jim and I had spent some interesting times together. Jim was my senior by a few months and considered himself quite a worldly kind of guy. According to him, he had bedded every good looking girl in junior high and I, in my stupidity, lived out my fantasies vicariously through his tall tales.
As I was recalling one time Jim slept over at my house, the porn movie switched to two guys starting to get it on together. As they undressed each other, exposing their well-defined bodies and ultimately their erect clearly veined cocks, I found that my own cock was hard as I had ever felt it. Mesmerized by the sights and sounds on the screen, I started to slowly stroke by cock as precum oozed down the length of the shaft.
As I did, I remembered the time Jim had offered to 'show me his if I would show him mine; it was the first time outside of the boys' locker room at school that I had seen another cock up close. That night in my locked bedroom, we watched each other as we jacked off and that was the end of it. With that memory flooding my mind, I exploded with such a force that cum struck my forehead and then covered my chest and hands.
I cleaned up and as I was drifting off to sleep, I wondered whatever happened to Jim; I knew he still lived in the same town. Ah well, perhaps I will look him up in the morning.
The next morning, as I sipped my morning coffee β it was a Friday and my day off β I picked up the phone book from the kitchen counter and looked up Jim's name. Amazingly, he was still listed at his old address across town. Since I had read a few year's ago that his parents had both died, I assumed that he inherited the old place from them. At the time, I was too caught up in problems of my own and didn't even call to offer my condolences. After all, he likely didn't even remember me. Now I wondered what excuse I could give him; then it came to me!
I recalled that Jim was a cabinetmaker with a good reputation and I needed some repairs to my old sagging cabinets in the kitchen. Why not call his firm and ask for him to come out and give me an estimate? Before I lost my nerve, I called, giving only my first name and address and they told me that the boss, who did all the estimates himself, would be out late that afternoon.
I wasn't sure why I was so excited or why I rushed around cleaning the house and showering so carefully for the unknown. I wasn't even sure if I had done the right thing and if Jim would even remember me after some seventeen years! If he didn't, I would simply take the estimate and tell him I had to think about it; it was likely way out of my league in any case.
