I DIDN'T THINK I WAS LIKE THAT
I am at this moment resting from typing this story which if any of my family saw what I'm writing I would be sent to a place worse than the 'gulag'. Where do I start, and how do I start to tell you about the events that have changed my life some three weeks ago. It might be best if, as they say, start in the beginning. So here goes the story:
My name is Jack and I'm happily married with two children, one boy of 18 and a girl of 16. My wife Brenda is a clerk at a small engineering company, she is 38 years old, some three years younger than me. I am a middle manager in a regional legal company which keeps me very busy. My sex life with Brenda is ok, once a week or twice fortnightly was ok for us both. In other words I had no complaints. Our two children were your normal types, him out with girls and his mates, her out with school friends with the odd sleep over.
Brenda asked if we going to my companies yearly party this year. I replied.
"it's been a bit boring in the last few years with too many people trying to suck-up to bosses from different departments, others flirting or trying to get-off with some one or another from the company"
Brenda thought it a good idea to make friends with other company members pointing out that we should get out more, also it would not do any harm to my promotion prospects. I grudgingly agreed that we go. The company do this year was at a big international hotel other side of town, so we booked a taxi for 8-30pm that evening. We got ready for 8pm and awaited the taxi. I was glad the evening dress for men was good casual, I hate those do's that have men dressed like Penguins and women like trussed up chickens. We sat in the back of the taxi as we journeyed to the hotel. Brenda says that she thought the main reason for me not wanting to go was my shyness.
I am by, nature, a shy man when it comes to intimacy, I have always been slow to make the first move. My wife laughs at times when she reminds me that she had to wait 7 months before I plucked up courage to ask her for a date when we were co-workers some 20 years ago. Before I met my now wife I had not had any sexual contact with a woman and only once with a man, which I have never told anyone about.
We got to the hotel ok. Paid the taxi driver and entered the main ball room. The room was big it had a cocktail bar to the side, and what I call a main bar at the end of the room and a terrace that you entered via siding glass doors which gave a spectacular view over looking the town centre. I guess there were about 70 people there, all milling around and chatting, my wife whispered
"if I was ok with this mass of people."
I nodded saying so-so. At that moment this woman came over and started chatting to Brenda hooking her arm in Brenda's arm sweeping her away with a comment
"Sorry but I need your wife to meet a friend of mine."
Brenda looked back with a 'will not be long love' look of her face. I moved over to the main bar and ordered a pint of beer. Looking around I saw a group of 5 or 6 people talking and some others sitting at a round table also chatting away. I thought to myself at least some are enjoying the evening. At the end of the bar was a large table full of buffet food with some people starting to help themselves. I continued to scan my eyes around, then I saw him.
