I arrived at my flat at 7-00a.m. on Monday morning, thankful I had finished my final night shift of ten. Four days before I returned to work, I was determined, not a single hour would be wasted.
I picked up my mail behind my front door and shuffled through them. A letter from my Solicitor got my immediate attention. After ripping open the envelope, I punched the air the letter contained my decree absolute.
I was officially a single man, months of legal wrangling were over, and I was free. Mary my now ex wife and I had been married for only four years. We'd tied the knot six months after meeting, on holiday in Spain. After two years, we both realised, the marriage was a mistake we had nothing in common except great sex.
Once that novelty waned we just drifted apart. After talking things over with Mary, I moved out of the flat we'd purchased together, and found accommodation on the other side of town. Although we lived apart, we met occasionally, the meetings were always friendly and conversations amicably.
Things changed when Mary moved in with another guy, and decided she wanted a divorce. Things went downhill quickly, when Solicitors became involved. I received a letter from her Solicitor, demanding that I give up my equity in the flat we jointly owned. Mary had moved out, gone to live with her new bloke, and wanted a quick sale.
I tried to agree to split the proceeds of the sale, but her new bloke was a Solicitor and he wouldn't let me talk to her, all communication had to be through our Solicitors. I wouldn't agree to give up my half of the flat, so the wrangling dragged on. Finally the Court ruled that the proceeds of the sale should be divided equally between us, and our amicable relationship went straight out of the window.
I stripped off my work clothes, stuffed them into the washing machine for my cleaner to sort out, and ran whooping, into the bathroom to take a shower. I decided to start my first day of freedom with a visit to the gym. After a shower and shave, I threw on some casual clothes, packed my gym bag, feeling really good.
I parked in the underground car park of the gym, ignored the lift and ran up two flights of stairs to reception. I burst through the double doors at the top of the staircase, in such a rush I barged straight into Frankie, one of the trainers. I grabbed her around her slender waist, and she clung onto mine, as we tried to stop ourselves from falling onto the marble floor in reception.
We failed and fell in a heap, I made sure that I landed flat on my back, with Frankie on top of me to cushion her fall. Once she had regained her senses Frankie said, "Good morning Chris, you certainly know how to bowl a girl over, what's the almighty rush? My class doesn't start for twenty minutes."
I was apologising profusely as I helped her to her feet, sweeping dust from her tracksuit. Frankie was bloody gorgeous she had short black hair, big green eyes and hard tits the size of cannonballs. The rest of Frankie's trim body was hard, tanned and toned. She also had a fantastic sense of humour, and the most infectious laugh I've ever heard.
She was laughing, as she told me, "That's quite enough rubbing, thank you very much. I am starting to enjoy it, my trackies spotless." I realised, that I was dusting off Frankie's luscious arse with my hands.
I apologised again, she just laughed, telling me not to worry, it was a while since she had found herself lying on top of a good looking guy who then massaged her arse.
Frankie's laughed filled the reception area, I blushed furiously when I realised all the girls behind the reception desk were looking at us and grinning. "Are you coming to my Spinning Class, you'd better be after getting me so hot and sweaty?"
I lied and assured Frankie, I was intending to go to her class. She told me to get changed, she'd see me in fifteen minutes, after she taken a shower to cool off. I signed in, went to the changing room, and changed into my gym kit. I went straight to the room where Frankie's spinning class was to be held.
The room was in darkness so I switched on the lights and set up my bike, choosing one near to the door. I was warming up when the door opened, and a pretty blonde popped her head inside, and asked me what time the class started. I told her, in about ten minutes, and asked if she was coming in she replied "I'm not sure, I've never done a spinning class I normally do Aerobics with Frankie, but she told me this class is much better."
The pretty blonde eventually stepped in the room. I saw she was wearing skin tight knee length black training pants, and a pink cropped halter neck top. She had a slender waist, taught flat stomach and lovely pair of large tits. She was about my age, 32/33yrs, and was a stunning looking piece of arse. I offered her my hand and introduce myself. "Hi I'm Chris Turner, would you like me to show you how to set up your bike."
The blonde said "Yes please." As she shook my hand, and told me her name was Charlene Dicks, all her friends called her Charlie, she added: "No jokes please, I've heard them all before." I helped Charlie set up her bike, taking the opportunity to scan her fantastic body at close range, whilst I explained how she should set it up the bike if she came again. She hopped onto her bike, and told me she was comfortable.
As we both started our warm up I asked, if she was divorced or still going through the process. Charlie's head spun round, she asked if Frankie had told me about her getting divorced. I pointed to her wedding finger, and explained the gap in her suntan told me, she had recently removed her rings; "Let's see, did you leave him or did he leave you. My money is on him leaving you, for someone younger he met at work, am I right?"
Charlie looked stunned; "His secretary, she's only twenty four and very attractive."
I smiled and told her; "Your husbands an idiot, you're more than attractive, you're bloody stunning."
Charlie blushed, her eyes locked onto mine, as she asked; "What else do you know about me?"
I told her she had been married between ten to fifteen years, probably twelve. She had one child, around ten years of age, and she worked, probably at a school.
All the time I was talking Charlie scanned my face and looked into my eyes; "Ok say that I believe that you haven't been told that, how do you know so much about me, we only met three or four minutes ago?"
I told her; that was what I did for a living, I observe people, read them and then made guesses based on my assessment. "You're very good are you a Policeman?"
"Retired a few years ago, now I'm a self employed Private Investigator."
The class started to fill up, and were busy setting up their bikes, Charlie asked; "Will you have a coffee with me, when the class finishes?"
Before I could reply Frankie chimed in "You don't want to have coffee with him, he's as randy as hell. This morning, in reception, he jumped on me, pulled me onto the floor then started touching me up"
I laughed and protested; "Let's get this story right, you accosted me and climbed on top of me as I recall, you're an animal."
