The Matrons of Regal Bay
Chapter 24
Joan's Tales -- Part 1
Joan Kuykendall recognized that she wasn't getting any younger, even as she looked at herself in the mirror. The heavy drone of music pounded its way into the ladies' room and the deep bass thud made the mirror above the row of sinks vibrate. It was bad enough that she'd enjoyed more cocktails than she had planned to, but adding the element of a vibrating mirror made her head spin even more.
The Logging Company was one of several boardwalk bars that catered to the local university crowd. Young co-eds, male and female, enjoyed themselves on a regular basis during the school year at any one of several Regal Bay nightclubs and bars. The clubs along the boardwalk, however, were shut down during the winter months due to the very cold ocean breezes that chilled the entire beachfront to the core. Clubs that sat even one street back tended to enjoy better patronage during the winter, so most of the boardwalk closed for the season.
The weekend that the boardwalk opened for business usually became something of a party for three nights running. This was the weekend Joan, and several of her friends, looked forward to. The first weekend of April was the usual opening weekend, though this particular year it was warmer than usual. Thus, the crowd was a bit larger, and more energetic than in the past. And with the warmer southerly breeze, many of the young women were dressed very provocatively. So was Joan.
Even though Joan had recently celebrated her 48
th
birthday, she still felt as if she could hold her own with the younger crowd when it came to prowling for men. She took very diligent care of herself, with long walks along the forest trails or beachfront, hours in the evenings after work in the gym, or morning jogs around Van Winkle Park when the weather was nice, all to maintain a desirous look for the young men she enjoyed. What she saw in the mirror wasn't looking all that desirous. She was drunk, and looking every year of it.
Behind her, Joan heard a thud followed by drunken laughter. She looked over her shoulder in the mirror and saw one of the stall doors suddenly bang open and a younger woman stagger out trying to pull a three-button blouse back over her head. Her pleated red skirt was bunched up as well, showing off the fact that her matching red panties were askew. Behind the young lady stood a youngish looking black man with a wide smile and short dread-locks watching her. He was pulling his two-sizes too-big jeans back up, if mid-thigh was up these days, and cinching up his belt.
Once she could get her head back through the right hole of her shirt, Joan recognized the young woman. She was recognized as well.
"Oh! Shit! Mrs. Kuykendall!" the co-ed gasped as she very nearly staggered into Joan.
Taking hold of the girl's upper arms to steady her, Joan replied, "Miss Hutchens."
"What are you doing here?" The girl giggled up at her, as she was a good four inches shorter than Joan, and looked back at the young man. "This is my Marketing instructor, DeAndre," she explained. "She's my favorite!" The girl turned back to Joan and reached up with her mouth to give her a kiss. Joan eased the girl back, though any other time she might have pulled young Sally Hutchens tighter. Joan had no desire to make any overt or public displays with one of her students, even in the ladies' room.
"It's nice to see you, Miss Hutchens." Joan took a sideways step and gave the young man a look over. "Have you been enjoying yourselves?" she asked, more in the direction of the young, handsome, black man. He was good enough looking, though he didn't look the part of a university student. Joan would have remembered seeing him around campus. He had several tattoos visible on his arms and at the neckline, and Joan imagined he would have many others not seen, unless he was standing in front of her in a Speedo. That idea appealed to her. As did the rather large bulge that was still very present at the front of the gray shorts he wore under his baggy jeans. That alone gave her some indication as to what the young couple were doing in a ladies' room stall together. That, and the smell of recent sex combined with the ever-present aroma of the local herb still emanating from young Sally Hutchens.
Sally staggered back a step and looked towards her male companion. Still smiling, Sally blurted out, "DeAndre just gave me ten inches of hot disco stick!"
Joan gave him an appraising look. "Ten inches?"
DeAndre replied with a lop-sided grin, "She might be 'xadjeratin a bit." He reached down and blatantly adjusted his groin. "Not by much, though." He produced a cigarette-length hand-rolled and proceeded to light it, even though the entire club was a non-smoking establishment.
"I ain't 'xadjeratin nothing!" Sally insisted. She leaned closer to Joan and added, "My pussy's stretched out! I can still feel the breeze, coming off the ocean, up my coochy!" She looked up into Joan's eyes and winked. "Wanna see?"
Joan shook her head. "Not tonight, young lady. Maybe you should be getting back to the party, or maybe home to bed?"
"Hell! Party's just getting started!" Sally laughed and then turned to dance back into DeAndre's arms. He had a lungful of the arid smoke and when their mouths joined, he exhaled into Sally's. She moaned and grabbed hands full of his round ass. DeAndre reached the hand holding the cigarette out towards Joan and she accepted it. She watched as Sally wrapped her arms around his neck and he took hold of her ass beneath the skirt. He lifted her easily and her legs wrapped around his waist as they headed for the door. As they reached it, it swung inward and Teagan O'Riley walked in.
"There you are!" she declared. Teagan turned and watched the young couple exit, and then returned her gaze to Joan. Giving the cigarette in her friend's hand a look, Teagan took it and brought it to her mouth. She closed her eyes as she sucked in a lungful. It was good weed, she thought, as it went straight to her head. She smiled at Joan and asked, "Has someone been naughty without me?" Her voice was high and strained as she attempted to hold the smoke deep in her lungs. She let it out a moment later, and then handed the cigarette back to Joan.
"Hardly," Joan replied, and then turned back to the mirror. "Just a young couple enjoying themselves in a stall." She also took a pull on the cigarette before laying it on the counter top. She didn't usually partake, but it had been a disappointing evening and she felt she deserved a little enjoyment.
"They left their empties," Teagan said, giving the stall a brief look. "That is one huge condom lying on the floor. And it looks like it's over flowing." She also saw the remnants of at least one other joint on the floor beside it.
"Yuk!" Joan laughed after taking a look for herself.
