It could have been the very worst of a very bad situation. Meeting an old girlfriend just at a time when I was having major marital problems myself. As it was, the meeting was very fortuitous, or at least, so I later found out.
I had just had one hell of a fight with my wife over the telephone about her "laying over" on her business flight to Dallas. It was Friday night and I was still at work, very horny and feeling sorry for myself. As I slammed the phone down I couldn't help but think, "Well, fuck her. I hadn't had sex in more than a month anyway. I guess a few more days without a piece of ass won't kill me. Maybe I could turn into a monk." I couldn't help but wonder if she was getting any.
I put on my coat and stormed out of my office in a foul mood and headed for the local gin mill on the next street. As I rounded the corner of the building, I ran headlong into Gail, knocking her flat on her ass.
I didn't recognize her at first and was just about to say something crude when she smiled up at me and said, "Well, Ed, I was going to look you up but I hadn't planned on meeting you quite like this."
I was apologizing profusely as I helped her to her feet. "Sorry, my mind was somewhere else. How have you been? I thought you moved away. It must be at least seven years since I saw you, just before Jenny and I got married."
I didn't remember her being quite this attractive. I was taking in her beauty and shapely figure when she said, "I'm fine. I just moved back to town so I thought I would look you up. You don't look too happy."
"Well, I have a few problems of my own right now. But enough about me, what about you?" She was becoming more beautiful by the minute. How did I ever let her get away? I guess she got pissed when I started dating her best friend.
Her smile was breathtaking when she said, "Are you on your way somewhere? Should I call your office and make an appointment?"
"No, no not at all. I can take care of you anytime." Boy, could I take care of her! I never did get in her pants when we were dating, but maybe I could make up for that shortcoming now.
She and Jenny, my wife, had been roommates in college. I met Gail first and we went out a few times but she just didn't respond to the sexual needs of a very virile, 21 year old, man at the height of his sexual development. Jenny, on the other hand, was every bit as horny as I was. We were very compatible back then. I wonder what happened to us and just when the sexual fires went out.
I tried to make small talk while I figured out a way to get her into bed. "What brings you back here after all these years?"
"I don't know if you knew, but my husband was much older than me. He was very sick for a long time. He finally passed away six months ago and I just wanted to get in touch with some of my old friends. I assume that you and Jenny are still as hot as ever."
I wasn't quite sure what she meant by that but, then, they had been roommates, so maybe she knew more about me than I suspected. "Well, not as "hot" as we once were but still slugging along. Jenny is out of town and I am on my own. Will you join me for a drink and dinner?"
