It is finished but it is a rather long read. The chapters will be listed in different categories. A big thank you to WanderingScot for editing this story for me. I hope you enjoy it. Chapter 1: Joey's life I read a lot of stories for a young guy. I decided to write about the average Joe, that's guys like me. I'm not a super hero or a vampire, nor am I a secret agent, nor have I been in the special forces. In fact, I haven't even been in the military. When it comes to sports, I didn't even play chess. In the sexual department I don't have a twelve -inch tongue and can't breathe through my ears. I'm just an average Joe. If you looked up the word average in the dictionary, my picture would be next to it. My dating life up until I turned twenty was almost nil. I don't stand out in a crowd. When I was six years old my mom, dad and little sister were killed in an auto accident. According to my Aunt Trudy, our car collided with a semi truck. I was the only one to survive, and even so spent over a week in the hospital. It was traumatic for me my aunt told me; I couldn't even go to the funerals. When Aunt Trudy came to see me, she cried when she told me what happened. She said not to worry, that she would take care of me. When I was released from the hospital Aunt Trudy and Uncle Ralph took me in. They already had four kids of their own. Two were older than me and two younger. Aunt Trudy said something about being my godparents. Aunt Trudy was my mom's sister. Mom had three brothers also but she wasn't as close to them as she was to Aunt Trudy. According to my aunt, my dad's family didn't want much to do with us. They were mad that my dad quit college and got married. I guess they blamed my mom; I hardly remember my grandparents on my dad's side. After arriving at my new home, living with Aunt Trudy and Uncle Ralph, I became very withdrawn; I guess I felt I didn't quite fit in. They took me to the cemetery to see the graves of my family. There were still a lot of flowers on the graves but they were dying. It made me cry. Aunt Trudy said I ran over to another grave where there were fresh flowers. Before she could stop me I took some and brought them back to put on my family's grave. The gardener at the cemetery started to stop me till he realized I was the little boy who had lost his family. After putting down the flowers, I stopped crying and went with Aunt Trudy to begin my new life. They had a big house and even had rooms in the basement. One of my cousins and I shared a room. Over the next week my aunt and uncle took me to my old house. We gathered most of my personal things and brought them back to their house. After that I was told that different family members went to the house and got items that they could use. I know that I got my bedroom set and we also took a few other items. Aunt Trudy told me that my parents had rented the house and we had to get everything out of it. I really didn't know what happened with everything except I got my stuff and some pictures of my mom, dad and baby sister. It was all I had to remember them by. Life as I remembered it wasn't the same. Aunt Trudy always treated me nicely but Uncle Ralph gave me the impression that I was just another mouth to feed. I did find out sometime later that as my guardians, they received six-hundred dollars a month. I figured that was the only reason Uncle Ralph let me live there. I could tell Aunt Trudy really tried to spend some time with me but she had her own family to raise. I felt like a fifth wheel at times. When it came to sports, I wasn't very good. Uncle Ralph yelled at me when I couldn't catch the ball as good as his kids. I did ok in school and got decent grades but I had to study. It didn't come easy to me. I didn't have a lot of friends but wasn't geeky enough to be picked on by the bullies. I guess sometimes it's good to just be average. I was born Joseph Wayne Holder. Most everyone called me Joey. I didn't mind; it probably fit me better than Joseph and Joe sounded more like some big guy and I was just your average Joe. My cousins and other relatives were nice to me but I never really felt loved. I guess I'm not the only person to ever feel this way. At Christmas, Aunt Trudy always made sure there was something personal for me. When it came to TV, I watched whatever everyone else wanted to see. Usually it was Uncle Ralph watching sports. I would go on the porch or down in the basement and read books. They had a bookmobile that came to the school and that worked well for me because I didn't have any money to buy anything. For my tenth birthday Aunt Trudy went to a garage sale and bought me a used bike. I was so happy; now I didn't have to ask my cousins if I could ride theirs. I kept my bike in good condition and rode it all the time. When I turned eleven I asked Aunt Trudy if I could be a paperboy. She said she would talk it over with Uncle Ralph. They said I could, and every day after school I delivered my papers. Uncle Ralph told me when he was a kid he delivered papers and it was much harder. He had to collect the money every week from his customers. Nowadays everyone paid directly and I would get paid when I picked up my papers on Friday. I was told that I could keep half my money to spend as I saw fit. The other half I had to save for a rainy day. After about six months another route opened and I took it as well. Now I felt almost rich, having my own money. My younger cousins and I would go the movies on Saturday. I paid my own way. Every once in a while I would pay for my cousins if they didn't have the money. I felt proud that I could. When it came to my other relatives, they seemed caring but distant. They were nice to me but just not close. I guess a lot of people have trouble dealing with a kid who has had a tragic background. Even when we went to family outings or other events, I was introduced separately. An example was at Uncle Ralph's company picnic. He would introduce his family like this: "This is my wife, Trudy, The four brats here are mine and this is my nephew, Joey." I guess just about everyone knew about the death of my family so people were nice to me but somewhat distant. Maybe that's part of the reason I kept to myself a lot. Even through high school I was somewhat of a loner. I had friends at school but I didn't hang with them after school. Everyone seemed to be in sports or band except me, I just wasn't good at it. Since I was on the quiet side, I was afraid to ask girls out. Everyone likes the cute girls. The cheerleaders and the girls that played sports were out of my league. I wanted so bad to ask some of them out but they didn't give me the time of day. Now don't get me wrong. If I talked to them, they answered me. Most of them were nice students, it's just that I wasn't the kind of guy most girls wanted to be with. I even asked one of the geek girls out and she accepted, but it didn't go well. Her interests were over my head and all she wanted to talk about was the different colleges she was choosing from. Other girls I asked out either had boyfriends or said their parents didn't let them date. I asked one girl to the prom and she accepted. I was on cloud nine for a couple of days until she asked to talk to me privately. "Joey, I'm sorry but I can't go to the prom with you. Randy, my boyfriend, and I are back together. I'm so sorry, I didn't want to hurt you but I'll be going with Randy." "It's ok, I understand. I hope you and Randy have a nice time," I replied. At least she let me down easy. I should have known it was too good to be true. When I went to a couple of school dances I was lucky if even three girls danced with me. I guess everyone wants someone a little better looking or smarter; I was just average. At sixteen I gave up my paper routes and got a job in the supermarket. I bagged groceries and brought in the carts and I made pretty good money. I worked a lot of weekends since most kids wanted off for sports events and dating. I had nowhere special to go, so I worked. I did give it my all; even though I might not have been a brain, I did work hard. My manager liked me and gave me a lot of extra hours. I saw a lot of the girls from school come in the store. I always said "Hi," hoping to get a happy response and maybe perk some interest. Usually I just got a "Hi Joey," and they went on. The young checkout girls all had boyfriends. They were nice to me because I helped them pack the customers' groceries. I asked a couple out but got negative responses or excuses. The older cashiers treated me better. I often wondered if I should ask them out. It seems there were a lot of divorced ones, but I was afraid of being turned down and looking like a jerk. After all I would be jail bait till I turned eighteen not exactly what most women were looking for. At least I could buy some adult magazines and take them home and read them. I can't tell you how many times I pictured myself as the stud in the magazines. The manager told me that a person could make a good living working for the super market. They had a lot of turnover since they hired a lot of high school students who would then move on, but those that stayed got the better jobs. He told me he started out bagging groceries, just like me. When I turned seventeen, I got a promotion to stacking shelves and helping empty the big trucks from the warehouse. It was a change, and I got a decent raise out of it. It was at that point that I decided that I would stay in the grocery business after I graduated. I applied for a part-time job as an assistant manager in the dairy department, my first step toward a management position. I held that position until I graduated. I had made enough money that I was able to use some of my savings and Uncle Ralph and I went to find a cheap used car for me. My insurance cost more than my car; Uncle Ralph said it was part of becoming an adult. My Uncle Ralph and Aunt Trudy asked to talk to me one evening. They told me that after I graduated I would have to move out. I knew what the problem was. They had told me time and time again that I should go to college. They would see that I would have the money to at least start college. I explained to them that I was not college material and was happy to stay in the grocery business. Since I wasn't going to go to college the income they got for me living there was going to stop. At this point they were receiving almost a thousand dollars a month for me living there. They had been getting increases throughout the years. I thought about asking them if I could rent from them but decided against it. If I was going to pay rent, I wanted to be on my own. I felt sad but tried to act brave and not try to show it. I did my best not to act rejected. They did tell me that I didn't have to rush but that I should find a reasonable place to live like an apartment. They would help me move my stuff when the time came. Aunt Trudy cried and gave me a hug. She was the closest thing I had to a mother. I knew if it was up to her I could stay there; for Uncle Ralph it was all about the money. I talked to my manager at the super market about being put on full time after graduation. He said there would be one opening in the grocery department but it was a night shift job. The midnight crew emptied trucks and set the shelves up before the store opened. He was pleased with my work the past couple of years and said the job was mine if I wanted. I would get a decent salary and even health benefits. I couldn't have been happier. Aunt Trudy was happy for me. I told her since I was graduating the following week, I would start looking for a place to live. Aunt Trudy and Uncle Ralph as well as my four cousins came to my graduation. They even had a small party for me at the house. My other aunts and uncles as well as my grandparents on my mom's side came to the party. Some of the people I worked with also showed up. I felt pretty good that everyone took the time to come to my party. **** I started my new job the following week. It sure was different working all night and trying to sleep during the day. I know Aunt Trudy and my cousins tried to be quiet but I still kept waking up. On a bulletin board at work people posted things for sale or rent, and one day I spotted an ad for an apartment. It was within a couple of miles of the store. I decided to check it out. When I knocked on the door an older woman answered. I mean, she wasn't old. I'm just guessing here but I figured she was probably in her forties. I remembered seeing her come in the store. "Can I help you?" she asked. "I'm Joey, Joey Holder. I work at the super market and I read where you have an apartment for rent. I was wondering if I could look at it," I said with a smile. She seemed like a nice lady. She stared at me for a second, smiled and asked me in. She had a beautiful well kept house and by my first impressions was very neat and tidy. "I'm Mary Wilson. I live here with my twelve year old daughter, Nancy. The apartment isn't in the house, but above our garage. I have a son and another daughter who are both on their own now. Robert, my son, went to college and stayed in the apartment when he came home on weekends." "Is he still in college?" I asked. "No, he graduated and moved into the nearby city near his new job. He has a nice apartment in town. I hate to see the apartment go to waste and figured I could rent it out. It's pretty much furnished. Come with me and I'll show it to you." We went out the back door and I noticed they had a pool in the back yard. It was round and I figured in was a twelve foot diameter. She also had a privacy fence around the yard. It seemed to be about seven foot high. "It's almost time to close the pool for the season. We might still have a week or two left to swim, then we'll close it up for the winter," said Mary. The garage was outside of the privacy fence with a driveway leading up to it. The walk-in door up to the apartment was just inside the fence. The apartment would be just right for me. It was three rooms and a bathroom. The bathroom had a toilet, shower and sink. The kitchen had a small table and a couple of chairs. It had a refrigerator but didn't have a stove but did have a microwave oven and a toaster oven. It would be all I needed. The living room had a couch, chair, an end-table with a lamp on it and a TV set. When I asked Mary about not having a stove she told me that Robert usually ate dinner with them, otherwise the two ovens were sufficient. She did mention I could purchase a small stove if I chose to. The small bedroom had a double bed, two dressers and a small closet. I loved the place. I just hoped it wasn't too expensive. "I'm asking three hundred fifty dollars a month and that includes the utilities. There isn't a phone or an air conditioner. You will need to sign a six month lease if you are interested." "I love it, when can I move in?" "I'll need a three-hundred dollar deposit and the first month rent and you can move in anytime. I do have a few rules you'll need to follow." "Ok, what are they?" "Since you're not twenty-one, I expect you won't be having any alcohol . I don't mind you having visitors but I need you to keep the noise down, and above all: no drugs." "Mrs. Wilson, I don't have that many friends so I don't think that will be a problem. I don't drink and I don't do drugs. I'll stop by the bank and pick up the deposit and first month's rent. If you don't mind, I would like to show the apartment to my Aunt Trudy. I'm sure she'll be happy for me." "That's fine. By the way, you can call me Mary," she said with a smile. After that, I went to the bank and withdrew the money I needed for the rent and deposit. I went over and asked Aunt Trudy if she would like to see the apartment. She was so happy for me. She said it was just right for me. I asked her to go shopping with me to pick up the few things she thought I might need. We picked up some linens and a four piece set of place settings along with a few cleaning products and some other things. That evening Uncle Ralph used his pickup and we took over my personal things. I told them they could keep my bedroom set since I had pretty much outgrown it and besides I had no place to store it. Uncle Ralph said he was proud of me. It was the first time he had ever complemented me. It made me feel good. After he left I straightened up my apartment, sat down and took a break and watched some TV. I was proud of myself. I hadn't bought that much food yet so I thought I would go to the burger joint and get a sandwich. As I walked out of the door and down the steps, Nancy stopped me and said her mother wanted to know if I wanted to eat dinner with them. I smiled and went in the back door with Nancy. Mary got an extra plate and set it at the table. "We don't eat dinner at the table very often because of Nancy's school activities and my work schedule. I figured you had a long day moving and might be hungry." "Thank you, I was just heading out to get a sandwich. I have to go to work tonight. It was nice of you to invite me to dinner, I really appreciate it." She had made a roast with potatoes and carrots. It tasted great. It wasn't often I got meals like this. Aunt Trudy was more of a hot dog type cook. We talked while we ate. I told them more about my past and Nancy told me about her school. It wasn't a surprise to find out she was one of the popular people. Too bad she wasn't six years older; I would have asked her out, but if she was older she probably wouldn't have gone out with me anyway. After dinner we went in and watched some TV and I went back upstairs to get some rest before going to work. **** When I got home in the morning I would usually see Nancy leaving for school. She always waved to me. Mary left about the same time also. She parked her car in the garage and I parked mine on a side drive. I always knew when she was leaving or coming home, as I would hear the garage door. Surprisingly it wasn't all that loud and didn't bother me. Mary would tell me when they were going to have a sit down dinner at least a day ahead of time so I could join them. It would be at least twice a week but I'm getting a little ahead of myself. I wanted to tell you about a day in my life that I will never forget. It was the second weekend I had lived in my apartment. I came home from work in the morning and went to bed. It was Saturday and I didn't have to work the next day so I would only sleep for a few hours. It was a very hot day for September and I didn't have an air conditioner so sleep wasn't the best. I woke up around noon and looked out the window and saw Mary sunbathing in a two-piece bathing suit. Mary was a little on the chubby side but to me she looked great; especially for her age. When I moved in they told me I could use the pool when I wanted too. It had been fairly cool lately and I didn't have time. I hadn't seen Mary or Nancy in it or in a bathing suit. I slipped on my trunks and was getting ready to go outside when I began looking at Mary. I swear she was touching herself down there but outside of her suit. Her eyes were closed so I wondered if she might have dozed off. I headed down the stairs and Mary must have heard me. "Joey! You surprised me. I thought you would be sleeping." "I'm sorry to disturb you. I only sleep a couple of hours when I don't work the following day, so I can sleep at night. I was really hot and thought about taking you up on your offer to cool off in the pool. Is it alright?" I could see she felt embarrassed being in her swimsuit. She grabbed a towel and kind of covered herself. "Sure Joey, you can use it. I'll go in the house." Average Joe Ch. 01 "No Mary, go ahead and get your tan. You deserve the relaxing time. Maybe you can even go in the pool too. Where is Nancy today?" "She went with her dad. He gets her every other weekend and I'm usually alone. That's when I lay out and try to get a little sun. I know I don't have the body for a two-piece suit but it gives me a better tan." "I think you look great. I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't talk like that but it's not very often I see a pretty woman in a bathing suit." She looked at me and I could tell she was thinking whether to stay out or go inside. Damn, I wanted to see more of her. I thought to myself, "Please Lord have her stay out." "Ok, I'll stay out and get some sun but I do feel a bit embarrassed. I'm not used to sunning myself with a man around. At the beach and when we take trips I always wear a one-piece suit." After saying that she turned over on her tummy. "Would you like me to put some lotion on your back?" I asked very nervously. After a few quiet seconds, Mary said, "That would be nice. Thank you Joey." I put some lotion on her upper back around her shoulders. It was almost like a massage and I could hear Mary moan slightly. It was starting to get me hard. "I never rubbed lotion on a woman before." I said to Mary. "It feels so good. I know it might sound naughty but can you unfasten my top so I can get a better tan?" I undid her top and began rubbing her whole back. It felt so good rubbing her soft skin. I was doing more than just rubbing lotion on her back and we both knew it. "Do you want me to put lotion on your legs also?" I asked. "Umm, please," said Mary. She added that it felt good. I started on her ankles and then her calves. I thought I'd take a chance and start on her thighs unless she stopped me, she didn't. It fact she spread her legs even more and I could see a slight bulge under her suit. I knew it was her pussy and I was really getting hard. I put lotion on her as high as I could and she kept giving light moans. I wanted to touch her in the worst way but didn't. I stopped and told her I needed to get in the pool. It was mainly to hide my hard-on. The water felt cold even with the hot sun beating down on me. At least my hard-on subsided. Mary started talking to me. "Joey, don't you have a girlfriend?" "No, never had, probably never will. I'm not what the women are looking for I guess." "What? You're a good looking man, good job and you seem very caring, not to mention you have a great pair of hands. Someday you'll find that woman and she will be proud to be with you." Mary turned over on her back. I watched as she held her bra top against her breasts while she turned over. I got out of the pool and began to dry off. I wanted the towel in my hands in case I started to get hard again. "Joey, do you want to put more lotion on me?" I couldn't believe she asked me that. "Sure," I said. I began with her shoulders above her breasts. She pulled her top down enough to half uncover her breasts. If I stared hard enough I could see part of her nipples. She didn't seem to mind. I moved to her tummy and she began to moan slightly and started talking to me. "Joey, when was the last time you were with a woman?" She said very softly, almost so I couldn't hear it. "I never have. I've kissed a couple of girls but that is as far as I've ever gotten." I now moved down to her legs. This time I started on her thighs and she spread her legs. I stared at her mound and she stared at me. I was getting a hard-on and wasn't sure what to do. I went to reach for a towel when Mary pressed her hand against my suit covered cock. I didn't know how to react. I've never had a woman do this to me before. "Joey, would you like to be close friends? I haven't been with a man since Nancy's dad and I divorced two years ago. This isn't about love but it is about a need for sex." "I've never done it before, I'm not even sure what to do," I replied. "Let me teach you. The weekends Nancy is with her dad, you and I can have sex. Of course that's if you don't mind being with an old lady." "Old! You're not old and you are beautiful. I'd give anything I have to make love to you." "Joey, it's just sex, not love. Someday you will find that woman and you'll be a great lover." After saying that she uncovered her breasts. I put my hand out and squeezed them. "Easy Joey, just rub them lightly. The nipples are very sensitive." I began lightly rubbing her nipples and they were becoming hard. Mary pulled at my shorts and let my cock out. I couldn't believe how hard it was. She put her hand around it and slowly began to jack me off like I do when I masturbate. Before I knew it I came and shot my cum all over her breasts. "I'm so sorry Mary, I couldn't help it. No woman has every touched me like that." Mary smiled, "It's ok Joey. You're young and that could happen a lot. Let's both get in the pool and clean off and we'll go up to your apartment." God, I knew I was going to love living here. Thank you for reading chapter one, chapter two will be posted soon. Comments are always welcome and appreciated. DG Hear Average Joe Ch. 02 You may want to read chapter 1 before reading this chapter. 'Thank You' to WanderingScot for editing this story. Chapter 2: Some things about Mary. Mary tells her story: First, I want the readers to know that I'm not a whore, slut or what they call a cougar. Joey and I are just close friends. I have never gone after young men in my life. There was just something special about Joey. I was a lonely person since my divorce two years ago. I didn't date but at times would have liked to have sex but had no contact with other men. I did have my vibrators which I used if it was necessary. My kids were my life. Joey is a happy, yet sad young man. He had a rough beginning in life after losing his parents. He always called himself the average Joe but he was anything but average. He was a kind, gentle and caring young man. He might not have been big in stature but he had a big heart and I must say he turned out to be one hell of a great lover. Too bad I wasn't thirty years younger. I had met my husband when I was a freshman in college, and he was a senior. For me it was kind of love at first sight. He was after all a senior, a good looking man and was about to get an Engineering degree and was also a jock. I felt great being with him. He wasn't my first love but I wasn't all that experienced either. As luck would have it I got pregnant. We used condoms but I guess I was one of those statistics where the condom failed. He told me he loved me and that we could get married as soon as he graduated. He was true to his word. We got married by a Justice of the Peace since by that time I was showing. We were the proud parents of a bouncing baby boy, whom we named Robert, after my dad. Steve, my husband got a good job and we bought a nice house. Everything couldn't have been much better. I didn't go back to school which made my parents a bit aggravated but I wanted to be home with my baby. Steve was making good money, enough for us to live on. Besides he wanted me to be a stay at home wife and mother. Thirteen months after Robert was born we had another child. We named her Kim, after Steve's mother. We were now the perfect family. Life went on and was quite good. We had a few arguments but nothing that most married couples didn't have. Steve's position had him traveling quite often and once the kids started school I was alone a lot. There wasn't much we could do about it so I volunteered to help at the school. It worked out great for me because it gave me something to do while the kids were in school. I helped three days a week. I didn't get paid, that's why it was considered volunteer work. When Robert was thirteen and Kim was twelve I had found some condoms in one of Steve's suit jackets. We didn't use condoms since we were married, we didn't have the need for them. I didn't care how many kids we had, I loved my children. When I did the wash I found that Steve's jockey underwear had cum stains on them. We must have argued for a good hour before Steve confessed to having sex on his last trip. He did say it was the first and only time but I didn't believe him. I asked him to please leave our house. I never wanted to see him again. We argued awhile longer and he packed a suitcase and left the house. I sat and cried; I don't know how long. Robert and Kim came in and asked me what happened, they are great kids. I told them the truth that their father had cheated on me and I asked him to leave. My kids loved their father, they really did, but they were mad at him for hurting me. For the next week Steve called me every day and apologized. He kept telling me that it was only the one time and he regretted it. He asked me if we could get past this and that he would always be faithful to me. I really didn't believe it was the only time, but I didn't have any proof. Sometimes you just get that gut feeling when you just think about your past. Another problem was that I loved him and he was our only meal ticket and means of support. I decided to give him another chance so after another week I let him back in the house. The kids were happy and so was their dad. I was going to make a few changes. One thing I was going to do is look for a paying job. Next time, if there was one, I'd be able to support myself and my kids. I also decided not to be so trustworthy of Steve. Trust would have to be earned all over again. I did tell him if it ever happened again that there would be no more second chances. "Mary, believe me. It won't happen again." He went to kiss me but I turned my head. I told him I wasn't ready for that. Our first night in bed together I told him to not even try. He told me he could wait till I was ready. I really did want him but wasn't going to make it that easy for him. A week went by and Steve said he wanted to take me out for dinner. He had it all planned out and our kids were going to be staying at their friends house that night. We had a wonderful dinner, a few drinks and then did some dancing. I loved it when he held me close. I could feel myself kind of tingling inside. Needless to say we went home and made love that night. It felt so good being with him. It was like old times, like when we first got married. We made love on and off all night. We kissed, cuddled and he fucked the shit out of me. Sorry, but it was pretty much the truth, it was only the second time we tried anal. It hurt like hell but I wasn't going to deprive him, not that night. We slept in till almost noon the next day. Luckily we got up and dressed before the kids arrived home. They smiled when they saw us having breakfast together. Life was back to somewhat pre-cheating normal. I was a lot more aware of what he did and where he went. It's just something a person does after forgiving a cheater. I saw at the school where they wanted a full time person to help out in the cafeteria, preparing breakfast and lunch for the kids. I applied for the job and got it. All the time I had helped out for free finally paid off. I now had a job with benefits. I was also home when my kids didn't have school. This job was so right for me. Steve really didn't want me to work but was glad I found a job that didn't interfere with the raising of our family. As luck would have it, I became pregnant from our all night session of love making. I worked in the cafeteria up till my actual delivery. That's when my wonderful baby girl was born. She was our love child. Steve was mad that I was only taking a maternity leave. Then there was the summer and I would be going back to work. I didn't want to leave my baby girl but I couldn't take the chance of not having a job if Steve was unfaithful. We argued over it during the summer but I held firm. My mother would watch Nancy while I worked at the school and I would pick her up after work. The first week it was hard leaving her but I had to do what I had to do. Steve got over it when he saw that Nancy was a very smart and happy baby. We wondered how the new baby would affect our life but we both really loved her and so did her brother and sister. Life got back to normal and everything seemed fine. I got away from checking up on Steve all the time. I felt he earned my trust and we let life go on. We both put our kids first and our love life second but that's the way it should be. We still made love, or had sex on a regular basis. When our older kids were in college and Nancy was around nine years old things seem to change. Steve had gotten a promotion and worked longer hours. I still worked at the school and tried to have dinner ready when Steve got home. Our love life seemed to wane quite a bit. Steve said it was because of the stress of his new job. Something just didn't seem right so I was back to watching how he acted after his trips. I didn't like being that way but it's something I couldn't help. I checked his suits and clothes when he returned from trips. I didn't find anything after a couple of his trips and decided to be pro active in our sex life. I went to an all girl party where they had showed different lotions and toys to keep your man happy. They even had a three night massage class on how to rub your partner. I got some tapes on how to make your partner happy. I was surprised to find out how naive I was when it came to having sex. I thought I knew a lot but I learned so much more. I started to use my new methods on Steve. He loved the rubdowns and massages. I learned more about how to enjoy both oral and anal sex. Needless to say, Steve loved the sex as well. One thing that I had noticed is that I was doing all these things for Steve but he didn't return any favors. I would give him oral sex but he wouldn't return the favor, the same went for massages. It bothered me but I kept trying to do my best. I was going to fight for my husband. On one night I decided to make him spaghetti and Texas Toast. He loved my homemade sauce. It was 4:30 pm and I had just put the toast in the over when the phone rang. It was Steve. "Mary, I won't be home for a couple of hours. A few of us have to stay over and get some work done." "I made your favorite spaghetti with the garlic bread." I replied. "I'm sorry but I have to stay for awhile. I'll eat it when I get home. I can just warm it up. Thank you for thinking about me." After I hung up with Steve, Nancy asked me if she could go to her girlfriend's house for awhile. It was a neighbor a couple of doors down from us. I told her that I was going to take dinner to her father and would be back in about an hour. As soon as the toast was done in the oven I wrapped it in foil and took the spaghetti and toast to my husband and his friends so they could all have something to eat. Everyone would always compliment my cooking. Even the kids at school would tell me how much they liked my cooking compared to their mom's. It always made me feel good. As I pulled into the parking garage I saw a couple of the people that worked with Steve driving out of the building. I was wondering who all had to work over. Henry, the guard at the desk saw me and smiled. I have known him for years. "Hi Mrs. Wilson, how are you this evening?" "I'm fine Henry. Is Steve still here?" Henry checked his logs, everyone in the building had to check in and out. "Yes he is, must be working late again. What do you have there?" asked Henry. "Spaghetti and toast, would you like some, there's plenty here," I said with a smile on my face. "I'd love some. You're the best cook I know. I wish my wife could cook as well as you. Your husband is one lucky man," replied Henry. I took out a Styrofoam plate and a plastic fork and gave a heaping plate of spaghetti and a couple of slices of toast to Henry. He thanked me over and over again as he started eating it. I grabbed my stuff and headed to the elevators and up to my husband's office. I began seeing him now and then for lunch a few years ago. It was kind of a way to check up on him. The only thing is I always called first. When I got to his floor the receptionist had already left. No one seemed to be around. I went by his office and he wasn't there. I then went to the lounge area and the door was closed. I could hear voices from the inside. My worst fears were coming out when I heard, "Oh fuck me Steve. God I love it when you take me from behind. Where did you learn all these little tricks? They make me feel so good and yet so dirty." Steve laughed and said, "My wife taught them to me." He must be rubbing her clit while fucking her doggie style. I showed it to him but I had to rub my own clit. I put down my stuff and slowly opened the door and looked in. He had her leaning over an ottoman and was on his knees behind her. They were so busy that they never even heard me. Their backs were to me as I picked up my pot of spaghetti, walked over to Steve and dumped it all over his back and ass. Too bad he still had a shirt on. He screamed out as the hot spaghetti hit the bare skin on his ass. The sauce ran down his ass and onto his girlfriend. He jumped up and turned around and saw me. "You fucking bitch, you could have burned us with that hot sauce." I couldn't believe that was the first thing that came out of his mouth. "You bastard! You fucking rotten cheating bastard! That's all you can say? I just wish it was ten times hotter and burned your fucking cock off. No need to come home, if you do I swear I'll fucking shoot your balls off, and you know I'll do it." "Mary, we can talk about this later..." "No you bastard. We're through talking. Your slut, whore can cook for you from now on," I said as I walked out the door with my pot. I did turn around and pick up the toast and threw it at him. All this time the woman just moved away from me and cowered in the corner. I knew who she was. I had met her at the last Christmas party. I had to wonder if they were fucking back then. I went down the elevator and was crying. Henry smiled at me and then he looked concerned when he saw me crying. "Are you ok Mrs. Wilson? Is there something I can do?" "You can shoot my husband if you like," I said as I continued on out to my car. Of course I knew Henry didn't even have a gun but it must have made him wonder. When I got home I just cried my eyes out. Nancy came home and asked me what happened. "Your dad cheated on me with another woman. He won't be coming home." It might have been too much for Nancy at such a young age but I wasn't thinking that clearly. She started crying as we held each other. **** Steve tried calling but I kept telling him to go to hell. I threw most of his clothes into garbage bags and my son took them to him when he came home on the weekend. Steve did get a court order to come and get the rest of his belongings. I just went into the kitchen while the officer waited for him to gather his personal stuff. I both hated and loved him but the love was waning fast. I filed for a divorce and our lawyers got together and worked out an agreement. If I would file for irreconcilable differences Steve would pay me two hundred a week in child support and a hundred a week in alimony. He would also be responsible for our medical costs. My lawyer told me that this was very good seeing I only had Nancy at home. The support would be until Nancy turned twenty-one or finished four years of college. If I would remarry, the alimony would stop. Steve really loved his kids. We had joint parental rights. Steve got Nancy every other weekend. We shared holidays and other special days. I wouldn't talk to him about anything except Nancy until the divorce was final. It was six months later when we sat across from each other to sign our divorce papers. I promised myself I wouldn't cry. All I had to do is picture him with his girlfriend that night and I had no problem being mad. After the signing he asked if he could talk to me and I said sure. "Mary, I'm sorry, I truly am..." "I don't want to hear this shit again," and started to get up. "Please Mary, I need to tell you this. Please give me a few minutes of your time." I sat there and listened to Steve talk. "Look, I didn't mean for anything to happen but it did. Lisa is not a whore or a slut, believe me." I just gave him a dirty look. "We have been working together for about six months now and we just fell in love. I wasn't looking for love but it just happened. Before we knew it we were joking with each other on one of our trips and well we became a couple." "You had to have let it happen. You know that if a person gets too close to a fire they will get burned. So don't tell me it just happened. It happened because you let it happen," I replied. I got up and left. I was now a free woman but I didn't feel so free. My heart ached but life goes on. At least I still had Nancy and my older kids to cheer me up when they came to visit. It was over two years and I hadn't dated. I just didn't feel that I wanted any kind of relationship. I guess on the inside I felt old and ugly. I spent most of my free time going to Nancy's activities. She was a smart girl and into everything. Steve got married six months after our divorce. Our kids didn't go to the wedding because they thought their dad got married to soon after our divorce. I really believe they stayed away because of me. A year ago Kim got married. She asked me if I minded if her dad's wife Lisa came to the wedding. "Mom, dad said he would pay for most of my wedding but not if his wife wasn't welcome to the wedding. I know you have a lot of reasons to hate her but she is our father's wife now. Mom, I would really like dad to walk me down the aisle." "Kim, this is your wedding, one of the most important days of your life. I promise you that I won't do anything to upset that day for you. If you want to invite Lisa, I'm ok with it as long as you don't seat her anywhere near me. I'll do my best to help you make your wedding day a wonderful one to remember." At the wedding my family, parents, brothers and sister all sat together. They were cordial to Steve but were no longer close. Lisa was there but sat on the groom's side of the aisle. Seeing my daughter walking down the aisle with her dad made me cry. She looked so beautiful. At the reception we were all having a good time. I just kept my distance from Lisa. My kids knew her well, especially Nancy. They did spend time with their dad and Lisa at their table. I have to admit we probably all were a little nervous but the wedding was beautiful. I guess no one mentioned to the band that my husband and I were divorced. He had a dance for the parents of the bride and groom. I was a bit surprised when Steve came over and asked me to dance. Kim looked over at me and I remembered my promise to her and took Steve's hand as we walked onto the dance floor. He was such a good dancer. I know I was nervous dancing with him but he held me steady and not too close. As we were dancing he thanked me for the dance and allowing Lisa to come to the wedding. I didn't really talk to him but I did give him a smile. I was relieved when the dance ended. My son Robert asked me to dance the next dance. I didn't realize he was so much like his father. I even told him so. Since the wedding I have talked to Steve from time to time, mostly about things that concern Nancy. I have seen Steve and his wife at different school functions. He really does try to be there for his daughter. My life was now working and doing things with Nancy. Robert recently graduated and told me I should rent out his room above the garage. It would give me additional income. I posted a "For Rent" note at the local grocery. I was surprised when a young man that worked there asked to see the apartment. He was clean cut and had good manners. He ended up renting the place. We invited him in for dinner and he told us about his life and what he had gone through. I told him that we didn't have sit down meals every day but when we did, we would let him know. He loved my cooking. Of course that always made me feel good and I liked to have someone to cook for. A week went by and we saw Joey a few times. He always smiled at Nancy and me. On one particular Saturday it was hot for September. Nancy had gone to be with her dad for the weekend and I decided to lie by the pool and get a little sun. I never thought about Joey getting up or even being there. I put on my skimpy two-piece swimsuit and laid in the back yard. The next thing I knew Joey was standing there looking at me. I was startled at first and then remember telling him he could swim any time he would like, and it was really a hot day. He was so young and so cute standing there in his bathing suit. I was embarrassed at first and grabbed a towel to cover myself. Joey told me he was sorry to have startled me but was going to take up my offer and go for a dip in the pool. Average Joe Ch. 02 I told him that I would go in the house and leave him alone. I mentioned that I didn't usually let anyone see me in a two piece bathing suit. I was a little old and overweight to be seen in public in it. He told me that he thought I looked beautiful and that he wouldn't bother me and that I should go ahead and get some sun. The funny thing is that I think he was serious. I missed being complemented like that. I decided to stay out and get a few rays. Joey offered to put some lotion on my back so I wouldn't burn. I turned over onto my tummy. I can't believe I let him but for some reason I had feelings for this young man. He took the tube of lotion and began rubbing it on my shoulders and back. Just the touch of his hand on me, aroused me. It's been so long since anyone has touched me. I closed my eyes as his soft hands rubbed my back. When he got to my bra strap I asked him to undo it. I could feel his nervous hands unsnapping my top and then his hands began to rub the lotion on. When he asked if I wanted my legs done, I said, "yes". He told me again how beautiful and soft I was. I glanced back and saw how hard he was getting. I couldn't believe that me, Mary Wilson could turn on a nice young man like this. He stopped quickly and got in the pool. I figured it was to hide his excitement. I laid there with the warm sun on my back thinking of sex. Would it be so wrong to have sex with this young man? He was over eighteen and I was an unattached woman. I asked Joey if he would put more lotion on me. I turned over holding my top against me. He rubbed the lotion on my shoulders and I let my top slip down some. I could feel him getting nervous and saw he was getting hard again. I reached out and rubbed the large lump in his pants. I think it surprised both of us. I continued to pull his cock out of his swim trunks. He told me no woman has ever touched him before. I took hold of his cock and started stroking it. It was only about a minute when he came all over my breasts and tummy. He apologized and said he had never been with a woman. I knew right then what I was going to do. I asked him if he would have sex with me. He was very nervous and said he wasn't sure what to do but he wanted to please me. I told him I would show him how to please a woman and in turn I would please him. I let him know that it wasn't about love, even though if he was a lot older it might have been different. It was about learning about sex and how to satisfy each other. "Joey, you must promise me that you will never tell anyone about us. I will show you how to please a woman and you will know what women like. Someday you will find the woman of your dreams and will know how to please her. "I don't know how long we will have sex together. You will find a young woman someday. The weekends that Nancy is with her dad, we can be together. Again, you must promise that you will tell no one." He promised and we got in the pool to rinse off. His hands were all over my breasts. After cleaning his cum off of me we went up to his apartment. He was such a nice man, so young and innocent. He had never been with a woman and had never experienced the joys of sex. I wanted to change all that for him and in the process, he brought me out of my shell. Too bad we had such an age difference. I know most people wouldn't have understood. Hopefully he will find the right woman and I may find someone more of my generation. We were only together for a few months but it changed both of our lives forever. * Thank you for reading my story. I'll be posting chapter 3 soon. Comments are welcome and appreciated DG Hear Average Joe Ch. 03 Chapter 3: Joey's First Time Mary and I headed up to my apartment. I was so nervous and I knew it showed. Mary was so nice and I sure didn't want to ruin my chances the first time. I knew it would be something I would always remember. Mary slipped off her top and I could see her breasts. She was so beautiful. I really wasn't sure where to begin. I wanted to touch her but wanted to do it right. I knew she could sense my ineptness and she told me not to worry. "Joey, since this is your first time you will be coming quickly. We'll worry about lessons and pleasing each other later. Right now we will just have some quick sex." Needless to say that was alright with me. I was as nervous as hell standing there with a hard on. She pulled my shorts down and my hard cock popped out. It stuck straight out. As I stepped out of my shorts, Mary was sitting on the bed even with my cock. She reached out and put her hand around my rock hard shaft. She moved her head forwards, and her full, soft lips slid wetly over the swollen head, sucking it slowly into her mouth. Damn, her mouth was so hot. "Joey, you're not going to last long this first time. Let's hurry up and get it over with for you." She slipped out of her bottoms and climbed to the middle of the bed. She spread her legs and for the first time I saw a real woman's pussy up close and personal. I reached out and touched it and she was really wet. "Ok, get between my legs and stick your cock in me, Joey." I did what she said. I pushed my hard-on into her pussy. It slid right in, and I pushed in hard till the full length of my swollen cock was in her. Her pussy was so hot. She moaned and said it felt so great and for me to keep pumping till I came. Unfortunately it didn't take long. I hardly got started when I felt tension in my body and I started shooting my load deep into Mary. "I'm sorry Mary, we hardly got started and I know you didn't come. It couldn't have been very enjoyable for you." "That's ok Joey, I expected that. I have a whole night to climax. I just figured once you shot your first load into me that it would be awhile before you came again. That's already twice in one hour." She was talking about me shooting off on her breasts earlier. Hopefully it would be a while before I needed to come again! I got up and got us each a cool drink, which we both drank gratefully, our throats parched from our cries of passion. Mary got up and used the bathroom. She put her swimsuit on and said she would be right back. At first I was worried until she smiled at me. She was back in about ten minutes dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. She also had a bra on. She had a box of stuff with her. I replenished her drink and we sat down on the couch. "Joey, I brought things over to help us while having sex. I'll explain the different things and what they are used for. Let's start with these creams." After explaining about some of the things she brought over she asked me to lie down on the bed. All I had on was a pair of jockey shorts. She took one of her creams straddled me and began rubbing the massage oil on me. She put it on my chest and around my nipples. It felt so good the way she did it. It was so sexually arousing. I knew I was becoming hard again. She got off of me and removed my underwear and with oil on her hands she slipped her hand around my cock; it felt so darn good. "Mary, let me do to you what you just did for me." She smiled as she took off her shirt and bra and lay down on the bed on her back. "Just be gentle Joey, massage a woman's breasts by starting on the top and sides. Don't rub her nipples until she gets used to your touch. Always squeeze her breasts gently until she tells you to squeeze harder." Mary was moaning lightly as I rubbed oil on her breasts. I did just as she said and stayed away from her nipples till they started to become hard. She told me to take an ice cube out of my drink and rub her nipples with it. They became instantly harder. I couldn't help myself as I bent over and began sucking on her tits. Making Mary sexually aroused was turning me on. I was getting harder by the second. I got off the bed and removed Mary's shorts. She had me lie on my back with my cock sticking straight up. She in turn got on top of me and slowly lowered her pussy onto my cock. God, she felt so good. I was able to play with her tits as she moved up and down over my cock. We were going at it for awhile when Mary lowered herself all the way down and we were rubbing our pelvic areas against each other. She was beginning to make strange noises and cried out that she was about to come. She fell forwards on top of me, her breasts mashing against my chest, her tight, wet pussy clenching around my cock as she shuddered into a huge orgasm. I couldn't last any longer as I began to shoot my third load of the day into Mary. She stayed on top of me and I felt a number of spasms squeezing my cock. I felt so good that I was able to help Mary reach an orgasm. She rolled off of me and told me how good I was. Over the rest of the day she taught me how to rub a woman's entire body. She always did it to me first so I would know how to do it and know how good it felt. We ordered a pizza and relaxed till later in the evening when Mary began showing me how to have oral sex. As I mentioned she always did me first. We were sitting on the couch resting when Mary got on the floor in front of me. She put her hand around my cock and lowered her mouth to where her hand was. She said this way she could take as much as she wanted into her mouth. It felt so good as I felt her tongue swirling around my cock. I put my hands on her head. I wanted to hold her there. She told me I could hold a woman's head lightly but never force a woman's head down on my cock. It was only the first day with Mary and I had learned so much. I told her I wanted to give her oral sex so we switched places. She showed me how to use my tongue and where to actually lick her. She had quite a bit of hair on her pussy. I was rubbing my hand through her bush while she explained how sensitive the nub was and how some women can have an orgasm by their lover licking it long enough. I removed my hand from her bush and when I finally pushed my tongue into her she was wet. I wondered how it would taste and I found it to be a turn-on. I buried my face into her pussy. I wanted to try and make her come. My only problem was I needed to come again myself. Mary saw this and we both got on the floor and Mary had me get on top of her and I pumped hard and long till we both reached an orgasm. After we finished, we went to my bed and went to sleep. When I woke up the next morning I was alone and Mary was gone. At first I began to think I had one hell of a great dream. I laid there smiling thinking why would Mary want to have sex with me? I sat up and saw a note on the end table. "Joey, I couldn't take a chance on spending the night. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. You made me one very happy woman. Please keep your promise and don't tell anyone. Hopefully we can get together again. I have so much I want to teach you. You are a wonderful lover." The note was signed your secret lover, Mary. She also wrote, "I put the toys, oils and lotion in the nightstand." I looked in the drawer and there was her sexual stuff. I knew that meant she would be back. I smiled as I put on a pair of shorts and a clean shirt. I sat down and began eating a bowl of cereal when I heard people talking in the back yard. I glanced out the window into the yard and noticed a man talking to Mary. She was smiling at him. I thought it might be her son, Robert. He was a pretty big guy and I guess he wouldn't have any problems attracting women. Mary told me he played sports in high school and college. He recently graduated and that's how I got my apartment when he moved to a nearby city for his new engineering job. I stepped outside to introduce myself. Mary saw me and waved to me to come and meet her son. I do have to say I felt a bit odd since I just had sex with Mary the night before. "Joey, this is my son, Robert." She said it and gave him a hug. "Robert, this is Joey, he's renting your old apartment." "Good to meet you Joey, how is the old apartment? I've had many good times there, Oh, sorry mom, that didn't come out quite right." They both laughed and I kind of smiled myself. "I love the place. It's just right for me and your mom is a great landlady. Once in a while I have dinner with her and Nancy. Boy, she sure can cook. Are you going to close the pool today?" I asked. "Yep! As soon as Kim and Larry get here. They're always late," said Robert as he looked at his watch. "If you want to get started, I'll give you a hand. I don't know what to do but I'm good at following orders." I said with a smile and thinking about the night before with Mary. "That would be great if you really don't mind," Robert replied. Mary went back in the house and Robert and I got started. We talked while we worked. He asked me about myself and told me about his past. One thing for sure, last night wasn't the first time that my apartment was used for sex. Robert had made good use of it. "Mom sure seems a lot happier today," said Robert. "What do you mean," I asked. "Ever since her divorce she has been so down on herself. The only time I saw her truly happy was at Kim's wedding. I told her she ought to find a boyfriend or something. Today she does seem happier." "She's a nice lady. She treats me good and even feeds me once in awhile," I replied. We had the solar cover off the pool and Robert started letting some of the water out of the pool. He said he lowers it just below the skimmer because he undoes all the plastic pipes and puts them in a small shed along with the motor and other parts. He leaves the filter out but covers it from the weather. He told me that if water gets into the plastic pipes they will freeze and break, he said it's happened before. We were moving along pretty good when a woman and man entered the yard. Damn! She was pretty. I figured it was Kim and her husband Larry. "Hi Sis, good to see you." Robert gave her a light kiss and said hi to Larry. "This is Joey, he's renting my old room from mom." I said hi to both of them. Kim was a looker and her husband looked like an ex-jock also. Man this was a good looking family. "Mom sure seems happy since I last saw her," said Kim. "When I asked her what made her so happy she told me that she was just happy that her kids were here. I'm just glad to see her this way," remarked Kim. Kim went back in the house to be with her mom. Robert, Larry and I continued closing the pool. Robert said it was just as hard to close the pool as it was to open it. He did say that it didn't take all that much care once it was opened. We spent the next couple of hours closing the pool. Kim came out and mentioned to Robert and Larry that their father was there dropping off Nancy if they wanted to see him. Robert said he would be back in a few minutes. Larry looked at me and said, "I guess I should go and say hello. I'm not overly fond of the guy but it is Kim's father. I'll see you and a few minutes." I went ahead and folded up the solar cover and put it in the shed. I gathered up and deflated the floats and put them away also. When Robert and Larry returned all we had to do was tie down the winter cover and Robert also put a leaf cover on the pool to make it easier to open the following year. Mary came out and said they would be eating dinner in about an hour. She invited me to eat with them. "Of course he's going to eat with us," said Robert with a smile. "He worked hard out here. The least we can do for him is feed him and put some meat on his bones." Yes, I guess I was on the skinny side. I knew Robert didn't mean anything by it. I told Mary that I needed to clean up and would see them in an hour. I thought I would feel funny being with their family but I felt great. I almost felt like part of the family and Mary was such a great cook. Fried chicken and home made dumplings, biscuits, I felt like I was eating at a fancy restaurant only the food was better. **** Mary and I got together at least every other weekend for my learning sessions. Once in awhile we might just work in a quickie. I really did like the teaching sessions. I could almost write a book on everything that Mary had taught me. It's funny when I went to kiss Mary and she told me 'No'. "Joey, we are just friends and I guess I should say 'with benefits'. You have to understand that this is a phase we are both going through. We are just too far apart in age. I need for you to understand that." "Mary, I think I love you, I don't care about the age." "No Joey, you love the sex. It's new and exciting but after awhile it won't be quite as exciting as it is now. You need to find a young woman that you share interests with, that just being with her is sometimes enough. In a true relationship it's not just about the sex, but about companionship, true love, feelings other than sex. Someday Joey, you'll find that woman and you will understand. "Passionate kissing is something you do with the one you truly love. If you want me to show you that type of kissing I will later but not while having sex. Joey, I'm looking for that special person too. Someone my age that can make me feel the way you make me feel. Someone that shares the same music and other interests that I like." I knew she was right. I loved her but it was all about sex. We really didn't have anything else in common. "Mary, is it alright to say I love you while we're having sex?" "Of course, I might say it too but you need to know that it's the passion of the moment that makes us say things like that," replied Mary. Mary showed me something new. It was a vibrator that was the size of a pen and it slipped over a person's finger. As I was lying naked on the bed she started giving me a blow job. She always held her hand around my cock so she knew how much she could take in her mouth without gagging. Damn! She was good. As she rubbed the mini vibrator over my cock and I felt the tingle go through my whole body. Then, she started rubbing it against my balls. I was ready to shoot a load and we had just started. Mary laughed as she handed me some tissues to come in. "Ok, your turn," she told me. When she got on the bed naked I noticed she had trimmed up her bush. It looked so neat and inviting. She looked up at me and said, "I did it for you so you didn't have to play in the forest." We both laughed as I buried my face in her bush. I put the little vibrator on my finger and began to rub her clit with it. As she began to move her hips I sank two fingers into her pussy. She was plenty wet and ready for more. I added a third finger and pumped them in and out of her. "Oh God, that feels so good. I'm ready whenever you are," exclaimed Mary. I quickly got between her upraised legs and held them up for her to make it easier on her. She reached between her legs and got hold of my hard cock and guided to her waiting pussy. I was getting pretty good at this and we lasted quite awhile. It always felt great when I came but felt even better when I was able to help Mary reach an orgasm. Our sexual liaisons went on for a few months. They were some of the best months of my life. Mary came upstairs to see me a week before Christmas. She said she had met an old friend during the school Christmas party. She said he was one of the teachers at school that she had known for years. His wife passed away from cancer just under two years ago. He had two grown children of his own who were already married and he was a grandfather. "Joey, he asked me out for New Years Eve and I said yes. If he and I become close friends and get intimate, I can no longer have sex with you. I wouldn't cheat on him. I never cheated on my husband and I won't cheat on Henry either. I hope you understand. We both knew this would happen one day." "Have you made love or had sex with him?" I asked. "No, but I'm fairly sure that being such good friends that we are it will probably happen. I just want you to know that you have been the best sexual partner I've ever been with. Believe me, you will find a woman one day and she will be darn lucky to have you." "So, are we going to make love or have sex tonight?" I asked. "Yes, Joey, we are and it will probably be the last time, but we will always be friends. I know this is going to sound funny but I love you like a son and before you ask, 'No!' I never ever did anything with my son." "I'm going to miss having sex with you. It will never be the same with any other woman," I responded. "You may be right since I was your first but it doesn't mean it can't be good, especially when you find that special woman. By the way, I have two surprises for you since this is going to be your last lesson." With that said, we both took off our clothes and got on the bed. "First I promised you I would show you how to kiss. This will be how you kiss your lover when you meet her. Save the special kisses for her." "How will I know when and if the woman is the right one?" "You'll know, believe me. You'll feel it not only in your loins but in your heart." Mary smiled at me. I lay down on the bed and she brought her lips to mine and just gave a couple of quick kisses, just lip touches. She then said to open my lips just a little and to moisten them with my tongue. She did the same thing. She pressed her lips against mine and ever so slowly applied pressure. I couldn't help it but I put my arms around her and pulled her to me. I had heard of and had seen French kissing and started to do it with her. She opened her mouth and our tongues met. I applied more pressure. I couldn't get enough and Mary pulled back. "That's enough of that Joey. You know what you are doing," Mary said with a smile. She let me kiss her on the neck and around the ears. I did it like I had seen it done in the movies. I worked my way down to her breasts and sucked on her nipples the way she showed me. By this time she was on her back, and I had one hand between her legs. I rubbed my fingers through her bush and worked my way down to her pussy. I took my finger vibrator out of the drawer and began rubbing her nub with it. She was squirming and asking me for more. It wasn't long before she had her legs spread and I had my cock pumping into her. She was making noise and I was making noises also. It felt so damn good. I eventually came in her and held it there till after she had a huge orgasm. We rested awhile and I even ordered us a pizza. We talked while we ate. She was such a wonderful woman, she doesn't deserve to be alone. I told her I hope Henry is what she's looking for. If not, I told her I'll be here for her. She had taught me so much in such a short time. How to treat a woman. How important foreplay is. The signs to watch for and that no means no. I learned that if I always put the woman first I would receive better sex. Women love to give back when they are treated well. Mary also told me to use condoms. Don't take it for granted that a woman is using birth control and most of all, there are too many disease's out there. We didn't need to use condoms because Mary had a hysterectomy years ago after Nancy was born. She had me use condoms a couple of times so I could feel the difference. It wasn't as good, but it was better than being a father at twenty or catching some kind of disease. As I have said, Mary meant a lot to me. Sometimes like a mother, other times like a teacher, and even my lover but always a friend. I knew I would miss having sex with her but she was honest with me from the beginning. Her family always treated me well and Nancy was like the little sister that I had lost. From time to time Nancy and her mom would invite me over to watch a movie on DVD after having dinner. Yes, they were like a second family to me. Average Joe Ch. 03 For my last surprise Mary told me she was going to have anal sex with me. I was surprised because she always told me she wasn't big on it but it would be her goodbye sex for me. She showed me just what to do. After getting her very wet, needless to say I was already hard. She had me rub KY jelly all around her asshole. I even pushed my finger into her and got some lube on the inside. I was then instructed to coat my cock with more of the lube. Mary was both nervous and anxious, and so was I. I got behind Mary and ever so slowly pushed the head of my cock into her asshole. It was so tight, much tighter than her pussy. She had me stop for a moment so she could get used to my cock being there. She told me to push in a little more, which I did. I could feel the warmth of her body. I stopped again and waited till she told me to slowly pump in and out. It felt so different, not better but different. My pumping was going faster and Mary said to keep going. Before I knew it my cock was buried deep into Mary's asshole and I was pumping hard. I was holding onto her hips tightly as I was about to come. I could feel Mary have an orgasm when she screamed out and I came deep in her bowels. I shot load after load deep within her. When my cock softened, I pulled it out and was surprised I didn't have shit all over it. Mary laughed. "Joey I cleaned up my insides before having anal sex with you. I didn't want you to get all grossed out." **** It was our last time together and to say I didn't miss it, I'd be lying. I still visited and had dinner with them at times. For Christmas Mary invited me for dinner but I told her that I had promised my Aunt Trudy that I would be there for dinner with them. Most of my cousins and my grandparents would be there. On Christmas morning, before going to Aunt Trudy's I stopped in to see Mary and Nancy. I had gotten each of them a gift certificate for Christmas. For Nancy I got one for her I-pod. She could download music which she loves to do. Mary's was for her favorite store. I figured she could buy whatever she wanted. They both thanked me and gave me a light kiss and a big hug. Then they handed me a present. I really never expected it. I got a new pair of jeans and two shirts. I had to laugh when Nancy said she picked out the shirts. She said they would make me look more studly. We all laughed. When I got to Aunt Trudy's a lot of the family was already there. They had opened their Christmas presents early in the morning. I did have a present for Aunt Trudy and Uncle Ralph. I gave Aunt Trudy a gift certificate also as well as a flowered plant. She actually had tears in her eye when she thanked me. I got Uncle Ralph a box of golf balls. He shook my hand and gave me kind of a manly hug. It was nice seeing my relatives again. I didn't see them all that often and wasn't really close to any of them, except Aunt Trudy. I told them about my job and my apartment. It was then Aunt Trudy handed me a gift. I have to say I was surprised. I opened it and it was a DVD player. She said that she had talked with Mary and was told I didn't have one. I almost cried when I hugged my Aunt. I knew she had always tried to be a good mother to me but with four kids of her own it wasn't easy. After saying my goodbyes, I headed home. It had been a good day, seeing everyone and even receiving gifts. I had the next day off and set up my new DVD player. Nancy asked me if I wanted to watch a couple of movies she got for Christmas. I asked her about Mary and she told me her friend Henry was coming over to visit and she didn't want to bother them. After Christmas life went on. I went to work and a lot of people said I seemed more outgoing. I would see the cashiers before going home in the morning. They were mostly women in their thirties and forties. Some divorced and others married. Linda, one of the divorced cashiers, asked me how my Christmas went and I told her it was nice. After telling her I hooked up my DVD player she asked me if I could help hook up her DVD player that she had bought for her family. She said she had no idea how to set it up. I liked her; she was always nice to me. I told her I could come over after she got off work. I would go home and get some sleep first. I got her address and went to her house. She mentioned her kids weren't home, they were at their dad's and would be gone for a few hours. She was hoping to have the player ready for them when they go home. Linda had on a tight pair of jeans and a low cut top. It was hard not to stare at her. She was flirting with me and asking me about my girlfriends. When I told her I didn't have any she said I had to be kidding. I was laying on the floor on my back hooking her player to the TV set. When she bent over her blouse dropped away from her chest and I got a great view of her bra covered tits. It seemed she did it intentionally. She always joked with me at work. "Like what you see?" she asked. "I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it," I replied. I knew my cock was getting hard and there was nothing I could do about it. Linda smiled at me and reached down and rubbed the bulge in my pants. "Did I cause that?" she said while smiling at me. "Sorry, but I'm afraid so," I answered. I finished hooking up her DVD player and she slipped in a disk to try it out. It was x-rated and there was a woman sucking on a man. I looked over at Linda and she said, "That's how I would like to pay you for your services." She had me sit on her couch and pulled off my jeans and briefs. She got on the floor and began sucking my cock. It was then I remember Mary telling me to take care of the woman and she would take better care of me. I lightly pushed Linda off my cock and had her stand up. I opened her jeans and pulled them down along with her pink panties. I had her sit down on the couch and buried my face into her cunt. I did a lot of the things that Mary had taught me. I was tongue fucking Linda and rubbing her nub at the same time. "Oh my God! Where did you learn to do this? It feels so good. I want you in me." I reached over and took a condom out of my wallet and handed it to Linda. She opened it and slipped it on my cock. I got up and sat on the couch with Linda straddling me. She lowered herself down on my very hard cock. I had removed her blouse and pulled her bra up over her tits. I gently rubbed her tits from the outside working my way in. While she was grinding her pussy into me I began sucking on her nipples just the way I was taught. It wasn't long before Linda had a huge orgasm. I held onto her hips while I shot a load into the condom. She leaned forward and gave me a light kiss. "Damn, Joey! You were great. I would never have expected you to be such a great lover. I hope we can get together again." She got off of me and even pulled the condom off and wrapped it in a tissue. She grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom. I got dressed and waited for her to return. I took the movie out of the player and put it back in its case. I handed it to her when she came back into the living room. I was sure she wouldn't want her kids to find it. "Thank you for everything Joey, even for hooking up the DVD player." "You're more than welcome. Call anytime you need help with anything." I had to laugh how we both skated over the sex. I told her I would see her at work. She smiled as I was leaving and gave me another thank you. As I drove home I had mixed feelings. It was fun and different from Mary. I understood what Mary meant when she told me it is just sex until I found the right woman. I know there was no love between Linda and me but she was a friend. I had to wonder if that would all change now. The next morning when I saw Linda, it was the same as it always was. She did say, "Hi Stud" when no one else could hear. She was acting the same as always, there was no real difference. I was feeling pretty good about it. Two days later Martha stopped me as I was getting ready to leave the store. Martha was in her forties and married to Lee. I had seen him a number of times He seemed like a pretty decent guy. "Joey!" said Martha. I turned around to see what she wanted. "Do you have any plans for New Years Eve?" she asked. "No, just going to rent a couple of DVD's and stay home." "Lee and I would like you to come to our house for New Years Eve. We have a nice group of friends and pretty much do our own thing. Some drinking and a lot of music and dancing. We always have a lot of food so you won't go hungry," said Martha with a smile. "You shouldn't have to bring in the New Year by yourself, please come." I thanked Martha and told her I would be there. I had both New Years Eve and New Years day off. I thought about Mary going out with Henry. Who knows, maybe I'd get lucky too. * Thank you for those of you who are staying with me on this story. Chapter four will be posted soon. Your comments are welcome and appreciated. DG Hear Average Joe Ch. 04 Chapter 4: Dating and meeting people I showed up at Martha's house on New Year's Eve. There were quite a few people there. Lee (Martha's husband) came over and handed me a beer. I thought about telling him I was only twenty but decided, to hell with it. I was going to have a good time. Most of the people at the New Years party were probably in their thirties on up. I recognized a few people from work and even a few regular customers that I have seen at the store. It seemed as though most people were couples but I also noticed a few without wedding rings. I saw Linda there and she came up and gave me a hello kiss. At first I was a bit embarrassed but her date didn't say anything. I was introduced to everyone but was lucky to remember a few names. Even though the women were older they looked good. I think most women look pretty good after going through their rituals on getting ready for a night out. I remember my Aunt Trudy would take two hours getting ready whenever she was going out. For an average looking woman she always looked pretty nice to me. I did see a couple of younger couples, probably in their twenties but they all had on wedding rings. Marge introduced me to a woman and said it was her sister Sandy. She lived in Michigan but came down to visit and join in the New Years party. I'm guessing she was in her early thirties but I'm not all that good with ages. The music was blaring out and Sandy asked me to dance. I told her I was just an average dancer but she said at parties nobody really cared. It wasn't long before I had my arms flailing and feet moving with the best of them. I was having the time of my life. Nobody cared that I wasn't a great dancer. I think I did as well as most of the guys out there. After a couple of beers I switched over to the punch. I wasn't used to drinking. No one told me the punch was spiked and I was dinking it like water. Marge came up to me and told me I might want to slow down on the punch or I might not make it till midnight That's when I found out it was spiked. I did switch over to pop after that but the damage was done, the booze was in my system. The party was great and I ate a lot, danced with a number of women including Martha and Linda. When Linda's date wasn't looking she grabbed me by the ass and smiled. I looked around and Martha was smiling at me. Later when I danced with her she told me Linda said that I was quite the lover. To say I was embarrassed would be an understatement. Martha told me not to worry about it, a lot of women talked about the guys they've been with. "You mean to tell me women talk about their love life?" "Not all but some do. Linda does and she said you were something else. Don't worry, I'm not after you, Lee and I have a good marriage. Hope you're having a good time at the party." "I am but I might have drunk too much and might need a ride home later." "We have a couch down in the basement you're welcome to use. That way you can party longer. You need to have some fun." I thanked Martha and switched back to the punch. Since I was staying the night I didn't have to worry about driving. I started spending more time with Sandy. I had found out that she was divorced for about a year. She was married for ten years but it didn't work out. According to her they got married too young and her husband cheated on her. They had two kids who were to spend New Years with their father so she came to visit her sister. She worked as an office secretary for an auto firm in Michigan. I do have to say she was a good looking woman and seemed really nice. I loved slow dancing with her. She liked to put her arms around my neck and my arms around her waist. The more we danced the closer we danced. At one point we took a break and I went to get us both a glass of punch. While I was waiting I saw her talking to Linda. I had to wonder what they might be talking about. They had a mistletoe hanging in one of the doorways and whenever a man and woman went under it together they kissed. It was all in fun and I must have kissed a dozen women. Sandy at least four times. At midnight they had the countdown on with Dick Clark. At midnight everyone yelled Happy New Year and every one kissed the women and shook hands with the men. Linda and Sandy added at little extra when they kissed me. Lee gave everyone a small glass of champagne and we made a toast to the new year and sang Auld Lang Syne. I have to admit it was fun. After that we went back to eating and dancing. Some people were getting ready to go home. By two in the morning most everyone had left. The only ones left were Martha and Lee, who lived there and Sandy and me. We put the food away and Martha said we could clean up the rest of the mess in the morning. I thanked her for a wonderful time and headed down the basement where she had a pillow and blanket for me on the couch. I took off my clothes down to my undies and lay down on the couch. I noticed they had a bedroom in the basement also. I kind of wondered why I was on the couch. It didn't take me long to figure it out. Sandy came downstairs. She was sleeping in the spare room. I couldn't help thinking about her as she went into the room and closed the door. In my mind I could picture her getting naked. It wasn't five minutes later when she came out of the room with a short nightgown on. She came over to me and said, "Happy New Year Joey," and leaned down and kissed me. I mean one of those lover type kisses that Mary talked about. We were actually swapping tongues when she reached down and grabbed a hold of my now hard cock. She wrapped her hand around it like Mary used to do and sucked on the head. I remember again Mary telling me to take care of the woman and she would take care of me. I pushed Sandy back lightly and sat up. She looked at me a bit surprised but didn't say anything. I sat her down on the couch and noticed she had on a near see through pair of panties. I reached up and pulled them off of her. She lifted up her hips, helping me. She still hadn't said a word. I got on my knees, spread her legs and buried my face into her pussy. I rubbed my face in her trimmed bush and then down to her pussy, licking her nub on my way down. She wasn't talking but was making noises. I rubbed her nub with my thump first gently and then faster. At the same time I was licking and tonguing her pussy. I felt her get extremely wet as she held my head to her pussy. After having an orgasm she asked me if I wanted to share her bed. Needless to say we headed into the bedroom. I remembered to stop and take a couple of condoms out of my wallet. We began with me rubbing her shoulders and working down to her breasts just like Mary had shown me. I rubbed her breasts from the side up to her nipples. I could see them getting hard and bent over and began sucking on them. "My God! Where did you learn to make love like this? You seem so young?" asked Sandy. "Let's just say a good friend taught me," I replied. I kissed my way back down to her tummy. She was gyrating against my hand that was rubbing her pussy. "I'm ready whenever you are," replied Sandy. I got up, slipped on a condom and slowly entered Sandy. It didn't take long before we were pumping hard against each other. As I felt her orgasm starting I let go and filled my condom. I held still and waited for her spasms to stop. When they did I pulled out and went to the downstairs bathroom and flushed the condom down the toilet and wiped myself off. When I came out of the bathroom, I notice Sandy was fast asleep. She seemed so peaceful. I gently covered her and went back to my couch, a very satisfied man. I woke up in the morning and washed up, got dressed and headed upstairs. Martha and Sandy were having coffee and toast. When they saw me they were both smiling. I had no idea if Sandy said anything to her sister. "Would you like some toast and coffee?" asked Martha. "No coffee but orange juice would be good if you have any," I replied. "Did you sleep well on the old couch?" asked Martha. "I must have really been tired. I slept great." "Partying will do that to you," said Sandy. "I slept like a baby and had some wonderful dreams." I still wasn't sure if she said anything to her sister. We sat there and I thanked Martha for inviting me to her party. I told her I had a wonderful time. Sandy smiled at me and said, "It was really nice meeting you. I hope to see you again when I come down to visit. I'm leaving to go home today." "It was great meeting you too. You sure are a good dancer." I knew I should say something nice but I was rather new at this type of thing. "It would be nice to see you again also," I replied. After eating my toast and drinking my orange juice I said my goodbyes and headed for home. As I pulled in the driveway I had to wonder if Mary's evening was as fulfilling as mine. It didn't take long to figure out when I saw Henry's vehicle in the driveway. Nancy had stayed at her dad's last night. Life went on and was good. Martha always smiled at me at work but never said anything about me being with her sister. Linda on the other hand asked me over a couple of times. I did go over and see her but I didn't want to build a relationship and neither did she. One morning as I was getting ready to leave work my boss asked me if I could make a delivery for him. He usually made it but had some important things to do that particular morning. He said it was Mrs. Green, one of our best customers. She actually lived on the ritzy part of town. She rarely came into the store but always called in her order and Mr. Chase usually delivered it. He said he would pay me for an extra hour in my wages and she usually was a great tipper. He smiled when he said it. I loaded her groceries in my car and headed for her house. It was a big beautiful home in the suburbs. Well kept lawns, most everyone had pools. It was definitely upper class. I rang the doorbell and she came to the door in a robe. Her hair was still wet so I figured she must have just gotten out of the shower. "Hello, Mrs. Green. I'm Joey from the market. Mr. Chase asked me to deliver your groceries." She smiled at me and asked me to set them on the counter. I had to make four trips from my car. "Would you mind helping me put the groceries away? I put the beverages in the refrigerator in the garage." I had no problem helping her. She was one beautiful woman, probably in her forties. "All the frozen foods I put in the freezer in the garage also." I took the frozen food out for her while she was putting other groceries away. When I walked in she was reaching up in her cupboard putting some things on her upper shelf. Her robe had risen way above mid thigh and she had one nice set of legs. She turned around and looked at me staring at her. She didn't look mad; in fact she looked sexy and smiled at me. "Do you like what you see?" she asked. "Umm, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been staring at you." "Answer the question. Do you like what you see?" she said again. "Yes, you are a very beautiful woman, and again I'm sorry for staring at you." "Joey, I like being looked at, especially by young men. Do you find me attractive?" "Very much so," I replied. "For your tip I'll either give you a hand job or a blow job. What's your preference?" I thought for a moment and remember what Mary had said about women like this. "Do for them and you will get more in return." "Mrs. Green, my choice who be to let me perform oral sex on you." She stared at me, I guess I caught her by surprise. "You're a beautiful woman and I would actually like to eat your pussy." I know that this was a bold move for me but she did start the conversation. Without saying a word she walked into the living room. I thought she was going to ask me to leave but instead she untied her robe, opened it up and sat on the couch. "You are a beautiful woman with a gorgeous body," I said as I got on my knees and put my face to her pussy. She was the first woman I have ever seen who was shaved clean. No hair on her pussy at all. I started by kissing her lower belly and worked my way down to the crack of her pussy. I started tonguing her nub and felt her body starting to tighten up. I continued down and asked her to spread her lips for me, which she did, and I drove my tongue in and out of her, at the same time rubbing her nub fast with my thumb. "Oh, fuck! That feels so damn good," were the first words out of her mouth. I continued to tongue fuck her till she said, "I want you to fuck me, Now!" I quickly got up and dropped my jeans and put on a condom. I sat on the couch and she gave me a lap dance only I was buried deep within her. I have to admit it didn't last long but it was great. I was able to rub her tits while shooting a load deep within her. Of course the condom caught it all. When we were finished she thanked me and said she might ask to have me deliver her groceries again. I did tell her I worked in the night stock department. I did deliver her groceries twice over the next couple of months. The last time she did give me that blow job and I have to say she was quite the expert on making a guy hold back before coming. Life was ok and I was having sex on a regular basis. My only problem was I didn't have many younger friends, people my own age. Most of the women I've had sex with were in their late thirties and forties. I'm not knocking the sex but the women I've been with were divorced and had little kids. Some, like Mary had kids even older than me. Mary and Henry were now a couple with hopes of getting married in the future. They both decided to take it slow. I thought my twenty-first birthday would probably go by unnoticed but a few of the guys I worked with said they were going to take me out for drinks and a little party. I went home and got some sleep and after I woke up Nancy came up and said her mom wanted to see me. I went into the house and Mary, her boyfriend Henry and Nancy all sang happy birthday to me. We had cake and ice cream and they had bought me a birthday present. It made me feel good to know they remembered. I had to wonder what Mary would have given me if she wasn't dating Henry. Oh well, just some old thoughts going through my head. I told them I was going out that night with a few guys from work. Mary reminded me not to drink and drive. I remember saying to her, "Yes Mom." We all laughed. The guys at work picked me up at my apartment and we went bar hopping. I wasn't a big drinker and knew I was getting a little high. We went to a strip joint and my friends bought me a lap dance. The woman was at least in her twenties and built great. I do have to say she was good and it felt great. She gave me a couple of extra grinds and wished me a happy birthday. We went to one more bar and it was a local hangout. I've been there a couple of times but never drank. When we got there Linda, from work was there with her boyfriend and another woman Sylvia, who she said was her best friend. They bought me a drink for my birthday. My buddies said it was about time to head home. Bill said he told his wife he would be home by eleven. I was getting up to leave when Linda told Bill that they would see I got home safely. I said goodnight to my friends and was finishing my drink when someone started playing numbers on the jukebox. Sylvia asked me to dance. Sylvia was an older woman, probably late thirties, early forties. She looked nice and seemed a bit flirty. During our dance she had grabbed my ass a couple of times and just laughed. We danced a few dances and I saw she had on a wedding ring. She told me she and her husband Earl were separated. This was her second marriage. She worked as a waitress and had two kids. They were grown and had moved out recently. I didn't have any reasons not to believe her; I didn't even know her. We went back to the table and had one more drink. I was feeling pretty good by then. Linda mentioned to me that she and her boyfriend were heading out and that Sylvia would drop me off at home. She told me happy birthday one more time and gave me a pretty hefty kiss. I don't think her boyfriend cared much for it but didn't say anything. I told her I would probably see her at work the following week. I asked Sylvia if she was ok to drive and she said she only had two drinks. She was drinking soda earlier in the evening. We got in her car and she told me that Linda told her I was quite the lover. I was rather embarrassed and wasn't sure what to say. "You mean Linda told you about us having... umm... sex? Do women tell other women everything?" "Pretty much especially if they are close friends." She started driving but didn't ask me where I lived. "Sylvia, you're going the wrong way to my apartment." "I know, I need to stop at my house for something. Don't worry, I won't leave you stranded," she then laughed. I had a feeling that she was up to something. I didn't mind if it meant I was going to get laid on my birthday. When she opened the garage door and parked in the garage I knew it was going to be a good night. "Come on in, I have something to show you," said Sylvia. This was a big house and a nice one too. I saw pictures in the living room of her grown daughter and a few pictures of her with a big burly man I figured was the man she was separated from. He looked scary in the pictures. I followed her upstairs and into the master bedroom. "What did you want to show me?" I asked with a smile. She quickly took off her shirt and bra. She had a nice set of tits. I was already getting hard looking at her holding her hands under them. "So, what do you think?" she asked. "They're beautiful," I responded. They stuck nearly straight out. She told me she had implants and for me to feel them. They felt a bit different but still felt good. I started rubbing her nipples with my thumbs and she told me to go ahead and squeeze them, she liked it a bit rough. "Take your clothes off and let's get started Honey," she said to me. I got naked and placed my clothes and shoes on a nearby chair. I did take out a condom and set it on the nightstand. Sylvia took off the rest of her clothes also. She had a trimmed brown bush and a tattoo right next to it. She pulled the covers back and got on the bed. "Like my butterfly? Want to give it a kiss." She was now smiling. I climbed on the bed and got between her legs and started to kiss her tattoo. I moved over and began to rub my face in her bush. "Umm, I love it, I love it." She said as I moved down and began tonguing her pussy. I was darting my tongue in and out of her while rubbing her nub. "Linda said you were good for such a young man but you're even better than I expected." By now I was holding both of her legs in the air and she was separating her pussy lips for better access for me. "Fuck me, Fuck me now. I want to feel your cock in me." I reached over and took the condom from the end table and put it on. We both held her legs high while I was fucking her hard. She kept telling me she wanted it harder and faster, I obliged. I couldn't hold out much longer. I buried my cock deep in her and shot my load. I could feel her pussy spasm so I knew she had reached an orgasm. I was still buried in her when we heard the garage door open. "Oh my God, Earl's home. You have to get out of here, he'll kill us both." "I thought you said you were separated?" I remarked nervously. "I lied, oh my God, he coming in the house. Hide in the closet." I was scared shitless. I still was naked and the condom on my cock full of cum. I grabbed my clothes and shoes and quickly got into the closet. I was hoping that Earl wouldn't be able to hear my heartbeat. "Where are you Baby Doll?" I heard Earl say. Average Joe Ch. 04 "I'm up here in the bedroom. I heard you coming so I got naked for you. Come and fuck me, you stud." "Damn Baby, you look fine. I have to use the bathroom but I'll be back in a couple of minutes and give you the fucking of your life." "I'll be right here waiting for you stud," replied Sylvia. As soon as Earl went into the bathroom Sylvia got me out of the closet and opened a big window and told me to get out quickly. "We are on the second floor," I whispered. "It's ok. There is a roof over the porch. You should be able to drop to the ground from there, now hurry up and leave before Earl catches us. By the way, you were great." As soon as I went through the window, Sylvia quickly closed it and pulled the curtains. I could hear Earl enter the room. "What are you doing?" asked Earl. "Closing the window and curtains so the whole neighborhood won't hear me when you fuck me with your big cock." I heard Earl say, "Come here Baby and give me some of that pussy." I moved to the other side of the roof and began getting dressed. I slipped my underwear on over the condom. I was in a hurry as I put my pants and shirt on and then my socks and shoes. I was hoping no one had seen me on the roof. They had a tress on the side of the porch and I was able to climb down. I was still scared shitless till I got to the main road and began my walk home. It was already two in the morning and I had three miles to my house. The roads were pretty empty. A police car went by me rather slow and I kept walking. It went up the road a ways and came back and stopped next to me. "What are you doing out this time of night?" asked the officer. "Just going home sir." "We got word there was a peeping tom cutting through some yards in the area. That wasn't you, was it?" "No sir, I was at the bar down the road. My friend I was riding with picked up a woman and I felt like a third wheel and just decided to walk home." "Did you have a lot to drink? "Yes Sir I did. You see it was my twenty-first birthday and I was celebrating. I didn't want to drink and drive." He asked me for my driver's license and checked the date of birth and smiled and wished me a happy birthday. "It this your correct address?" "Yes sir, it is." "Well, hop in the squad car and we'll drive you home. It's the best we could do since you had the good sense to not drink and drive. Besides, it is or was your birthday." The officers dropped me off and waited till I was in my apartment before leaving. They were pretty nice guys. I undressed, took a shower and got some well needed sleep. I woke up late the next morning. I was supposed to go out for lunch with my Aunt Trudy and Uncle Ralph. They said they wanted to take me out for my birthday and had something to discuss with me. As I walked out the door Mary asked me how my birthday was and I told her it was quite different. I was on my way to my aunt's house and would talk to her later. I arrived at Aunt Trudy's and she smiled and wished me a happy birthday. "Well I guess you are legally an adult now," she said and gave me a big hug. Uncle Ralph came out and also wished me a happy birthday and we got in their car and headed to the Texas Roadhouse. I had always liked the restaurant but it was a little expensive for my budget. Uncle Ralph spoke first. "Joey, we have something to tell you but first let's enjoy a good steak dinner. It's on me today." "Uncle Ralph, it's not something bad is it?" I asked. "No Joey, in fact it quite good. Now let's order, I don't want to ruin the surprise." I looked over at Aunt Trudy and she was smiling. I knew it couldn't be anything bad just by her reaction. The dinner was great and I talked to my aunt and uncle like we were great friends. I told them more about my work, apartment and that I met a few friends. I didn't tell them anything about my sex life. They seemed truly interested in what I was saying. They told me what was new in their life and that their oldest daughter was now expecting. I went to her wedding a few months ago. After we finished dinner Uncle Ralph handed me an envelope. "What is this?" I asked. Uncle Ralph did the talking. "Joey, after you were born and were around two years old your parents bought a college education fund for you. They put a sum of money aside for you so you could go to college. The money was to sit in an account until you were ready for college." "But, I never went to college. Let's face it Uncle Ralph, I wasn't college material." "The money could have been taken out early for any emergencies that you might have had. Needless to say, thank God that never happened. There was also a clause in the document that mentioned that if you didn't go to college or other higher education that the money would be turned over to you after you attained age twenty-one." I opened the envelope and there was an account book in it. I couldn't believe I could have this kind of saving. It was over thirty thousand dollars. "Your Aunt Trudy and I went to the bank yesterday and had the book updated so you could see exactly what your account was worth. Now all we ask is that you be smart about your finances. We believe you're smart enough to keep the saving for something important instead of just blowing it on a new car or good times." I was crying. I now realize that Uncle Ralph wasn't cheap with me. He could have taken this money at any time and said it was to help raise me. I got up and gave him a big hug, right there in the restaurant. I saw a tear form in his eyes too. I then kissed and hugged Aunt Trudy. I now realized for the first time that they really did take care of me. I promised them both that I would keep saving the money and use it wisely. After we got back to their house I thanked them for being there for me when nobody else was. I got in my car and headed back to my apartment. I wasn't going to mention my savings to anyone, not even Mary. I wanted people to like me for who I am, not what I had in the bank. * Thank you for following my story. The fifth chapter will be out shortly. As always, your comments are welcome and appreciated. DG Hear Average Joe Ch. 05 Chapter 5: Still looking for the right woman Life was pretty much back to normal only I was now an adult. My first night back to work I saw Linda in the morning. She laughed when she saw me. "Sorry about Sylvia. I heard Earl came home early." "Why didn't you tell me she was married, I could have gotten beaten up." "She plays around a lot on Earl. I just thought you might like to get laid on your birthday. According to Sylvia you did, you just had a quick exit. How did you get home?" "A police officer saw me walking and stopped me and asked to see my driver's license. I told him it was my birthday and I didn't want to drink and drive. I did say my ride home found a woman he wanted to have sex with and I didn't want to be a third wheel. The officers were nice enough and drove me home." "I'm sorry Joey, can I make it up to you?" "No, you have a boyfriend now. I'm staying away from married women and those in relationships. I'm a lover, not a fighter." With that said I headed for home. It was now May and the school year was coming to a close. I saw Mary and Nancy getting in the car. Mary told me that her son, Robert had called and said he was going to open the pool on Saturday and was wondering if I would help him. He told Mary he liked me and I was a good worker and on time unlike his sister and her husband. It made me laugh. I told her I would be glad to help and just to let me know what time. They went on to school and I headed up to my apartment for a good days sleep. After getting home on Saturday morning I lay down for a few hours. I set my clock so I could get up and help Robert open the pool. He really seemed like a nice guy and always concerned about his mother. He was glad that she met Henry and had a man in her life. He might not have liked me so much if he ever found out I had been intimate with his mother. I had to laugh to myself when he said, "That's probably why she was so happy at the time we closed down the pool. I hadn't seen her that happy for a long time." Her dating Henry wasn't for a few months after we were together. I still missed being with her but we are still good friends and she is my landlady. I met Robert in the back yard and he explained to me what all we had to do to get the pool up and running. When I asked him if Kim and Larry were coming over to help he just laughed. "They're always late. They will be here this afternoon for a family barbeque. I figured we would be finished before they even showed up. By the way, if mom forgot to mention it, you're invited to the barbeque." We worked hard taking off the winter cover and hooking up all the pipes and filters. Before we knew it we were adding water to the pool. Robert said it would be about two days before it would be warm enough to swim in. We did put on a solar cover to help heat it up. Just about the time we were finished and were putting the winter cover away Kim and Larry showed up. Robert just laughed. "Why didn't you wait for us and Larry could have helped you?" replied Kim. "You know me Kim, I like to just get things done. You and Larry can do the grilling today," Robert looked over at me and smiled. Mary came out and said, "Joey, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you about the cookout. You are coming and I won't take no for an answer." Robert looked over at me with a grin and I looked at Mary and said, "Yes Mom!" We all laughed. They were like a family to me. They have never treated me like an outsider. I wish there were more people in the world like them. I went up to my apartment and cleaned up. Robert and Larry were setting up the barbeque grill. I noticed some other people arriving that I didn't know. Henry had come and he and Nancy were setting up chairs in the back yard. When I went downstairs Larry had begun grilling steaks and burgers. An older man came out and Robert introduced him as his Uncle Lee. He told me he was one of Mary's brothers. "Nice to meet you Sir. I'm Joey, I'm renting Robert's old apartment." "Mary has mentioned you. She says you're almost like a second son to her. Why don't you go inside and introduce yourself to my wife Claire and daughter Ariel. They've been wanting to meet you." When I stepped into the kitchen Mary introduced me to Claire. I walked in the living room and Nancy said, "There you are! Joey, this is Ariel, my favorite cousin. Ariel this is Joey my second brother," she laughed. "Nice to meet you Ariel," I must have been thinking about the name and it must have showed. "I wasn't named after the mermaid," Ariel said and was smiling. "I wasn't thinking of the cartoon character but the daughter on the TV show 'Medium.' Only I think you're much prettier. God I'm sorry, I wasn't hitting on you I was just being honest." Both girls laughed. "Joey's a bit on the timid side," said Nancy. "Thank you for the compliment Joey. I appreciate it," replied Ariel. I was nervous now and not sure what to do or say. "Maybe we can talk later," I said. "I think I'll go help Larry and Robert, outside." I smiled and headed out the back door. Damn! She was so pretty and young. I wondered how old she was. I figured maybe Robert would tell me about her. When I stepped outside Robert handed me a beer. "So, did you meet Ariel?" asked Robert. "Yes, she seems really nice. How old is she?" I asked. Robert had a grin on his face. "Ok, Joey, on a scale of one to ten how would you rate her looks?" "Umm, Robert I don't think it's a fair question. I just met her." He could tell I was nervous. "Joey, you're a guy. We all rate women in our mind, it's an automatic thought. I always thought Ariel was a good looking girl, too bad she is my younger cousin. We are a loving family and Ariel has always been a sweetie. So how would you rate her looks?" I shook my head. "Robert, she's at least a twelve in my book." Robert laughed when I said that. "Just so you know Joey, I know she looks like a teenager but she's twenty-two." "What! You've got to be kidding. She's so damn cute. I'm sorry Robert, I didn't mean to swear but she's the prettiest girl I've seen in a long time. How come I haven't met her before?" "She's been away at college. She has one month to go before she graduates. She has been going the year around so she can finish sooner." "What courses has she been taking? You have the smartest family I know. Everyone seems to be a professional something. Mary said her brother was a pharmacist, it that Lee?" "Yes, Uncle Lee is a pharmacist. Aunt Claire is a teacher so Ariel gets her brains honestly. She's in the nursing program at State. She works part-time in the hospital as part of her education. After graduation she is promised a job at one of the local clinics. She really is intelligent. You need to go talk to her, hell, you're close to the same age." "Robert, I'm afraid she's out of my league. Girls like her don't usually talk to guys like me." "Bullshit, you just need confidence. Believe me Ariel is a great person and a good judge of character. She hates phonies and I'm sure you're not one." "Robert, how come you haven't gotten married yet?" I asked. "Haven't met the right woman. I've been out with a lot of women and have a pretty good life. I figure someday I might meet the right woman. I just let nature take its course. I have been dating a woman at work but I'm not ready to introduce her to mom yet." Henry's kids showed up to meet Mary's family. Everyone seemed so nice. I thought I would hate Henry for taking Mary away from me but he was a really good person. Even his kids talked with me. I felt like part of a big happy family. I was sitting outside at one of the tables eating when Ariel came over and asked to join me. Needless to say, I said yes. The more I looked at her the prettier she seemed to get. A blond ponytail, dimples that showed every time she smiled and by what I could see she must work out. I did my best not to stare at her body. "So tell me about yourself," said Ariel. "What do you want to know. Where I grew up, went to school, where I work?" "Anything you want to tell me. My cousins and Aunt Mary seem to really like you. Believe me when I say they don't take to just anyone. Don't get me wrong, they treat everybody great but they treat you like family, it perked my interest." "So what are you going to tell me about yourself. We need a two sided conversation here," I replied. "Sounds fair, I tell you whatever you want to know," said Ariel. I went first and told her about my family being in the accident. She had tears in her eyes and grabbed my hand and held on to me for a few minutes. I explained how I was raised by my aunt and uncle and went on my own after I graduated. I even told her about my paper routes and working at the supermarket. I explained how I was put on permanently and really enjoyed my job. I never went into my love life. "Ok, your turn, tell me about yourself." She told me a short version of her life. "I'm the youngest of the kids in our family. I have two brothers who went to college and have since moved away. They are both professional people and are married with families. I guess I'm overly spoiled being the only daughter and also the youngest. "I've had a pretty easy life but a good one. My parents have been over protective of me but that's how it is when you're a girl and the youngest. I've been raised by wonderful parents who taught me to treat everyone with respect. I try to do that but it's not always easy. There are some real jerks out there." I looked at her and she seemed so nice. She was short, probably five feet tall and the shape of a teenage cheerleader. It was hard to believe she was twenty-two. "Would you like to go for a walk and finish telling me about yourself? I feel a little jittery just sitting here," I asked. "Sure, I'll let mom know so they won't wonder where we are." She came back out and said, "Ready to go." "Do you always tell you parents where you're going?" I asked. "I do when I'm home. It's common courtesy, I don't need permission." As we walked she continued her story about her life. "I've always liked school. I joined about everything I could. In high school I sang in choir, played soft ball and volleyball. I belonged to a number of clubs, like the Spanish club, and even the chess club among others. I liked taking part in activities. "I was a cheerleader in both high school and college. I guess it was my way of exercising. It was a lot harder than it looks. It's more than just jumping up and down." "I take it you were rather popular in school. I was just an average kid, I didn't play sports. I'm just not that much of an athlete." "I don't like to brag so please don't see me that way. I'm just telling you about myself because you asked. Yes, I was popular and home coming queen my senior year in high school." "I did receive some scholastic scholarships that help pay for my college tuition. Mom and Dad picked up the remainder of the tuition. I'm getting a nursing degree next month and will be working at the Wilshire clinic after that, so I will be living at home." God, talk about complete opposites. I was almost sad walking with her. It was one of those times where I could fall in love just talking to a woman I could never be with. She had it all together, knew what she wanted and went after it. "What's the matter Joey? Is something wrong? Did I say something to upset you? I know I talk too much but it's in my personality." "No, it's not you, you're everything a man dreams about. Let me say you have it going on, you have it all together. I was just thinking about how opposite we are." We headed back to the house. The barbeque was breaking up and everyone was saying their goodbyes. I had said goodbye to everyone but Ariel. She pulled me aside and asked me if I would do her a favor. "Me, do you a favor? What do you need?" I asked. "Ok, I know this is sudden and I understand if you say no." "Come-on Ariel, what is it you want?" She was beautiful, but could she ever talk. "I broke up with my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago. I have a wedding to go to next Saturday and I need a escort. I would feel funny going by myself. One of my college girlfriends is getting married. Would you go with me?" "You want me to take you to a wedding, as your date?" "Of course as my date. What else would you go as, my driver?" she asked. "Please tell me what this is all about. Women like you don't date guys like me?" "What kind of person do you think I am? It just so happens I kind of like you. I had a boyfriend, it didn't work out and we broke up. I'm going to the wedding of a good friend and would like you to go with me. Are you going or not? I'm not going to beg you." Wow, she has a little temper too. "I'm sorry Ariel, I totally misjudged you. It would be an honor to escort you to the wedding." "Thank you, the wedding is at one, followed by the reception. Thank you," she said and kissed me on the cheek. After everyone left I had to talk with Mary. I needed some help. "Joey, I hear Ariel asked you out," Mary said. "Mary, I don't own a suit. Could we go shopping and you help me pick out something?" "I'd like to Joey, but I have this mess to clean up. I can go if you can wait till tomorrow." "I'll take you," said Nancy, "but it will cost you lunch." Mary laughed, "Nancy will help you Joey. She knows how to spend money." So that's what happened. Nancy helped me pick out a suit, dress shirt and tie. I also needed a pair of dress shoes. Afterwards we took in a movie and had lunch. She really seemed like a little sister. Whenever we were together I often thought of the little sister I had lost and the things we might have done together. They had to alter my suit and I would pick it up a couple of days later. I had to admit I really felt good about this. I've never been out with a beautiful girl like Ariel near my own age. I was really excited about it. On Thursday, I had a message on my answering machine. It was from Ariel, she said she needed to talk to me. Of course I expected the worst. I figured she went back with her old boyfriend, Brian, and he was taking her to the wedding. My stomach just sank. I dialed her number and her mom answered. "Claire, this is Joey, Ariel asked me to call." "Oh, hi Joey, one second, I'll get her." It was only a few seconds but it felt like I was waiting for minutes. "Hello, Joey," "Hi, you asked me to call?" I tried not to sound too rejected. "Yes, I never gave you my address and to let you know exactly what time to pick me up. Joey, are you there?" I was busy taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry, yes I'm here." I didn't want to tell her I was expecting to be dumped. "I've got a piece of paper and a pencil." She gave me the information and said she couldn't wait to see me and go to the wedding. I told her I couldn't wait either. "Nancy called me and said she helped you pick out a suit and you took her to the movies. I'm sorry you had to buy a suit for the wedding." "No problem, I should have had one for special occasions anyway. I really can't wait to see you again." "Well, you have to wait till Saturday, and thank you for doing me this favor." "Favor? You got to be kidding. I'm more than happy to oblige." We hung up and I felt great again. I had dinner with Mary and Nancy. They told me more about Ariel. The more they told me the more I felt I was falling in love. "Joey, Ariel's my niece, so I expect you to treat her with respect. She's used to getting her own way but you don't need to always agree with her." "I understand. It's just that we seem like complete opposites. I don't know if we have anything in common." "You're both nice, you are adults and I'm sure you'll find some common ground. Are you a good dancer? There will be dancing at the wedding." "I do ok, I don't dance all that often." "Nancy, do you have a minute, I need a favor," said Mary. "What is it Mom?" asked Nancy. "Bring in your CD player and show Joey some of the latest dance steps." "Mary, I think I'll do fine." Nancy came in with her music playing. The little gal could do just about anything. She showed me some line dancing steps. She said that's what they do a lot of at weddings. I found it to be rather easy to learn. She put on a Macarena song and showed me how to do it. She said it was popular at wedding also. I was having fun with Nancy, Mary and even Henry, all of us line dancing to these songs. I even think I did better than Henry. I have to admit Nancy was a little sweetie. She would be a heartbreaker someday. Maybe it was me but I saw so much of Ariel in her. Before leaving to pick up Ariel, Mary and Nancy wanted to see how I looked. I felt a little self conscious but they both side I looked handsome. I had to laugh when Mary said to bad I wasn't thirty years older and Nancy said to bad she wasn't five years older. I hugged them both and headed to Ariel's house to pick her up. They sure lived in a nice neighborhood. It was in the upscale part of town. I had to ask myself what I was doing there? I knocked on the door and Ariel answered it. "Wow, you look great," was all I could say. "You clean up pretty good yourself," she said to me. To explain how she looked I would have to say, not like a sex diva but more like an angel dressed in a light blue dress. Her blonde hair fell in large curls around her face and down to her shoulders. He body looked, 'Damn' , let's just say she looked beautiful. We got in my car. I tried to remember all my manners and opened the door for her. As we entered the church she was saying hi to most everyone. There were dozens of students from the college plus the relatives of the bride and groom and Ariel knew both families. She introduced me to most everyone she talked to. I felt a little self conscious when she kissed and hugged so many people. It was only on the cheek but I wasn't sure what to do. I generally said hi and shook hands. The wedding started and I sat there listening to the vows. Somewhere along the line, I don't know when but I took Ariel's hand and held it through most of the service. She held my hand in her lap. I pictured it being me and Ariel getting married. After the service we headed to the reception hall. There must have been a couple of hundred people. We sat at a table with two other couples who were friends of Ariel's. To be honest, I felt out of place. These were either students or college graduates. They asked me if I was a student and I told them "no, that I worked at the supermarket." I knew it had them wondering how it was that I was with one of the most popular women in their college. The next question was how did I know Ariel? I wasn't quite sure what to say. Ariel knew I was on the timid side and told them, "Hey, why the third degree. He's my friend and a friend of my family. As of right now he's not my boyfriend or lover so you guys don't have to wonder. Of course, things can change." The music started and she asked me if I wanted to dance. "Thank you for helping me out. I wasn't sure what to say and didn't want to embarrass you. After all I do work in the supermarket, not exactly brain surgery." "Joey, you don't need to be ashamed of who you are or what you do for a living. If someone can't accept that, then screw them. You're a good looking, warm, wonderful guy or I wouldn't be here with you." We danced a couple of slow dances and she felt and smelled so good. I did my best to not try and get fresh with her. I held her close but I hoped not too close. We went back to the table and her friends seem to accept me a little better now. It still bothered me when all these different guys would come up and kiss her on the cheek or hug her. She even danced with a few. Average Joe Ch. 05 We danced some more and I danced a couple of slow dances with her friends. Needless to say they were full of questions. I did answer them truthfully. The band played a line dance type song and Ariel asked if I minded if she danced it. She said she loved Line dancing. "Do you mind if I dance it with you?" I asked. She smiled at me as we got up; they were doing one of the dances Nancy had showed me. I wasn't a show off but I was able to stay in step. That song ended and they started another line dance. Ariel and I both jumped right in. She seemed surprised that I was able to do them. I was really having fun. After the line dancing we sat down and I got us each a drink. "You surprised me, where did you learn to line dance?" asked Ariel. "Don't laugh but Nancy showed me how to line dance this week. She said they did it at most weddings." "Tell my little cousin thank you for me, I was really surprised," replied Ariel. About that time they started the Macarena music. I stood up and took Ariel by the hand. "Don't tell me Nancy showed you this dance too?" All I had to do was smile, Ariel knew the answer. Towards the end of the reception a couple of men came back and asked Ariel for another dance. She looked over at me and said to them, "No thank you, I want to spend the rest of my evening with Joey." The guys walked away a little aggravated and I smiled at her and we returned to the dance floor. As the reception was ending Ariel went about saying her goodbyes, giving hugs and kisses to her friends. She just seemed like such a happy person. I don't care what people think, I knew I was infatuated with her. I had no idea what to do about it but I felt it in my heart. Now I had to try and deal with it. When we arrived at her house I walked her to the door. She grabbed both of my hands and thanked me for going with her to the wedding. She leaned forward and gave me a gentle kiss on the lips. I was thinking how she kissed all her friends on the cheek. Did this mean something special? "Ariel, I'd love to see you again," I replied. "I'd like to see you too but I'll be busy for the next couple of weeks. I go back to college and have my finals and then graduation. Maybe there will be time after that." I wasn't sure what to say other then, "Ok, till we see each other again." She gave me another light kiss on the lips and went into the house. I left with mixed emotions. I knew I cared for her but she was out of my league. I've been there so many times before and didn't want to get knocked down again. On the other hand I knew I couldn't let her go without trying. The next day Mary asked me how it went. I told her the truth that I ended up having a good time but did feel a little out of my element. I also told her the Ariel was one of the nicest girls I had ever met. Too bad we were from opposite sides of the tracks. "Joey, quit underestimating yourself. When you get knocked down you get back up and try harder. You've been through a lot and come out a decent man. Don't ever forget that. Ariel is my niece and a very special person to me. Just give life a chance. I learned that from you." Mary leaned forward and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I went back to my daily life but couldn't forget about Ariel. A couple of weeks went by when Nancy knocked on my door and said I had received an invitation to Ariel's graduation. She had sent it to their address not knowing if mine was the same. Mary suggested that she, Henry, Nancy and I could all ride together to the ceremony. Afterwards there was going to be a graduation party at Ariel's house. I've never been to a huge college like this before. There must have been tens of thousands of people there. It was something seeing all the graduates enter the stadium. I couldn't tell one from another from the distance away that we were. We were there for a couple of hours. When they announced the graduates from the medical field, a large group of graduates stood up. They walked across the stage as their names were mentioned. The top five percent scholastically were in white and went first. When Ariel's name was called and she was crossing the stage we all stood and clapped for her. I don't know why but I had tears rolling down my face. What was the matter with me? We didn't wait around after that. We decided to leave and head over to the reception and meet Ariel when she arrived. We had a couple of hours before the reception was supposed to start so I mentioned to Mary that I would drive over myself, that way I could leave when I wanted. They dropped me off at my apartment. The main reason I did this was because I found out that most people who went to the party would bring a graduation gift. I hadn't got Ariel anything and figured I'd pick up something, but what? I had no idea as I walked around through the store. Jewelry was one thing I thought of but had no idea what to get. Boy, I thought. I should have brought Nancy. One salesperson suggested a money envelope but Ariel wasn't hurting for money and that didn't seem personal enough. I was talking with this older saleswoman and asked for suggestions. "Is she your girlfriend?" "No, I wish she was but she is someone special to me," I replied. "This might sound a bit rash but I have the perfect gift from you." "I'll all ears and willing to try anything." * End of chapter 5. The sixth chapter will be posted soon Thank you for reading my story. Comments and feedback are always appreciated. DG Hear Average Joe Ch. 06 Chapter 6: Where do we go from here? I left off looking for a gift for Ariel's graduation. I had no idea what to get. An older saleslady said she had an idea for me. "Buy her a gift card from her favorite restaurant. We sell them all here at the store. Also, buy her two movie tickets to the theatre good any time." "I don't quite understand how that helps me," I said. "Well, she's not going to the movies alone and I'm sure she's not going out to eat by herself. See, if she invites you to go with her. Just understand she might ask someone else but you will know where you stand." I did what the lady suggested and bought two movie tickets to be used within a month and a fifty-dollar gift certificate to the Red Lobster. Ariel told me once she liked eating there. I picked up a card to put the certificates in and signed it, Love Joey. I headed over to her house where the reception was being held. Mary and the rest of her family were already there. Robert was there and introduced me to his date. He told me it was one of the other engineers that he worked with. They have become good friends. I have to say Robert did well. She was one good looking woman. Lee and Claire greeted me and said Ariel was around there somewhere. I talked to different people and put my card in a box with dozens of others. I saw Ariel and when she saw me she came over and gave me her usual hug but gave me a light kiss on the lips. Again I had to wonder why. She thanked me for coming and said she wished she could spend a lot of time with me but since it was her party she had to make the rounds. I told her I understood and maybe we could get together for dinner and even a movie some time. I was hoping when she opened my card she would get the hint. "I'd love that," she said. About that time some of her classmates came up to greet her and I watched her give them her usual hugs and kisses on the cheek. I hung with Mary and Nancy through most of the celebration. I knew Mary could see through me but didn't say anything. The food was great and I really enjoyed spending time with Mary and Ariel's family. I talked to Ariel before I left and wished her the best. "Please call me when you have time to get together. I know your life is pretty full right now." She gave me a hug and again a light kiss on the lips. It was almost a week before I heard from her. In fact it was a Thursday evening. "Joey, hope I didn't wake you up. This is Ariel." "No, I was awake. Besides I wouldn't mind being woken up if it was by you." I heard her laugh lightly. "I just got around to opening all my cards and gifts. I just wanted to thank you so much. You didn't have to get me anything." "But, I wanted too. We all have to eat and I figured you need a night out to relax. I'm happy you liked it." "Well, the reason I'm calling is because I don't want to go to the movies alone. I was wondering if you would like to take in a movie and have dinner at the Red Lobster on Saturday. My treat, or should I say, your treat," she laughed. "Let me check my calendar, yep I'm free Saturday." We set up a time and I would be picking her up at her house. If I could find that saleslady, I would kiss her for the idea. I picked Ariel up and we decided to go to dinner first. We ordered a drink, appetizers, our meal and even a dessert. We blew the whole fifty dollar gift certificate. I thanked Ariel for the wonderful dinner. She wanted to thank me again but I explained to her that she could have gone with anyone and I was happy she chose me. We talked while we were eating. I knew she was a busy person and asked her what type of a schedule she kept. "Well, I work five and a half days a week. I only work till noon on Saturdays. I go and exercise after work twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays. I recently started going out for Karaoke with some of my friends at the clinic. Karaoke is every Thursday and I promised myself I'd try to go at least every other week. I really love singing." "Wow, that's a pretty busy schedule," I mentioned. "Oh, that's not all. Friday is my day to just relax. Saturday is my date night. It's the night I go out with friends like we're doing now. Sunday, is family day. I do my best to spend time with my family. Of course sometimes we visit other relatives or they come to our house. That about sums up my week. What about you?" "We don't want to get into it. I work, sleep and sometimes go out. I do visit with my Aunt and Uncle at least every few weeks. Somewhat of a boring life. Being here with you is one of the best times I've ever had besides taking you to the wedding. So, would you like to go out next Saturday?" She looked at me somewhat sadly. "I'm sorry Joey, but I'm already going out with friends." "Oh, ok, sorry I asked." "No, let me explain. Joel and Peter from school gave me four tickets to a Cincinnati Reds baseball game for graduation. I thought about asking you to go but you told me you didn't like sports. So I asked Joel and Peter to go since they gave me the tickets. We're just friends, I want you to know that. I've known them for years." "Who's using the other ticket? You said you had four." "I asked Nancy to go. She loves baseball so I asked her." Damn, I'm so stupid. I could easily sit through a game if I was with Ariel. I didn't want to act too down. We still had a movie to see. "Ariel, I don't hate sports, I'm just not good at playing them. If you ever want to go to another game, I would be glad to go with you. I've never been to a professional sports game of any kind." "Now, I feel bad in not asking you, I'm sorry." I tried to cheer her up, even though I was a little down myself. "Don't worry about it. We'll go to a game another time; I promise. Let's go see a movie now." She picked out the movie she wanted to see and we found out that we each got a free popcorn and beverage because of the gift certificate. We really weren't hungry but took the popcorn and drink anyway. Popcorn just goes with going to a movie. During the movie she reached over and held my hand and smiled. I just held on to it for awhile not sure what to do. I was really in uncharted territory here. After the movie I drove her back to her house. I rushed around and opened her door. "Joey, we're friends. I like that you open doors for me but you don't have to do it all the time. If we go to a formal event, it's somewhat expected but not for everyday purposes." "I'm learning, thanks for not thinking of me as a fool." "You're no fool. You're a sweet wonderful friend that I care about. Stop putting yourself down, I don't like that you do that." replied Ariel. I walked her to the porch. We stared at each other for a few seconds and she leaned forward and gave me a gentle kiss and then looked at me. "Thanks again for a wonderful night. Maybe we can have lunch or something this week. Well, I better go in." I left and got in my car and wondered what I did right and wrong. She kissed me but yet is going out with some other guys the following week. Even though I really cared for her I think she saw me only as a good friend. On Sunday I had dinner with Mary, Henry and Nancy. They asked me about my date with Ariel and I told them it was great. That's when Nancy mentioned that the following Saturday she was going to a Reds Baseball game with Ariel and her friends. She was really excited. She even said she wished I was going. That's when I told her we could go together next time. "I thought you didn't like baseball? asked Nancy. "Not on TV, it's to slow but I've never been to a professional game. I think I would like to try it." Henry spoke up. "Why don't we all go? I have a friend that could probably get us some tickets for next month. What do you think Mary? Would you like to go?" "I'd love to. It's been years since I've been to a game. Even the hot dogs and beer are good at the stadium. Nancy, when you see Ariel Saturday ask her if she would like to go with us next month." Mary looked over at me and smiled. I was a little happier but I needed to see her and take her out before next month. I gave it some thought and I called her Tuesday evening and asked her if she would like to have lunch with me on Wednesday. "Don't you need to sleep in the afternoon?" asked Ariel. "I promised the boss I'd make a couple deliveries for him in the morning so I'll just sleep later in the day." It really wasn't true but it was a very small lie. I just wanted to see her. I stopped by the clinic and couldn't believe how big it was. It was a miniature hospital. I went to the reception desk and mentioned I was there to see Ariel. The receptionist was very nice to me and asked me to sit down. It was only a few minutes later that Ariel came down the hallway. She was smiling. Damn, she was so pretty. "Been waiting long?" she asked. "No, just a few minutes; this place is big." "I only have an hour so we can eat and talk at the restaurant across the street. We can just walk there." "Fine with me." We sat down and ordered the special. That way there was a short wait for our food. The place was quite busy. A lot of the clinic people ate there. Ariel told me a little about the clinic. It was more than just a doctor's office. They did radiology and out-patient surgery among other things. She said they employed about eighty people. While we ate, I asked her if she would go out with me a week from Saturday. I knew she had the game Saturday. "Where do you want to go?" she asked. "Anywhere, everywhere, I don't care. I've never been many places so I'm willing to give anything a chance." "Ok, give me till next week to find somewhere different. You know you can always come to karaoke night on Thursday." "I'd like to go hear you sing but it starts at nine and I begin work at eleven. I can't drink because I don't want alcohol on my breath at work." "I understand but maybe someday you could stop in for an hour." We talked a while longer and I walked her back to the clinic. When we said goodbye she gave me a peck on the lips. "Hope to see you soon," I said as she walked away. I wasn't sure if she heard me. I didn't want to come on too strong to her. Right now I knew we were good friends and even though I wanted more I didn't want to lose the connection we had. It wasn't the best weekend for me. I knew she was going to the ballgame with her male friends. At least Nancy might tell me how it went. On Sunday I talked to Nancy and asked her about the game. "We lost but I had a great time. Joel and Peter are great guys and we joked around all day. Ariel has some of the nicest friends." What else could I ask without looking like an interrogator? I wanted to ask if she kissed or hugged them, said anything endearing to them, but I knew I would just be looking stupid. I wasn't going with her and she was free to live her life. "Did you ask her if she wanted to go to the game next month with us?" "Yes." "Well, what did she say?" I asked. "She said to tell Henry to go ahead and order the tickets. She would love to go with all of us." I called Ariel again on Tuesday and asked her out for lunch again on Wednesday. "Oh, sorry Joey, the gang here at work is ordering lunch in tomorrow." "Oh, ok, are we still on for something Saturday? "Yes, not sure you're going to like it but you said anything." "Where are we going?" "You'll find out Saturday. Just dress normal, it's nothing fancy." I told her I would see her Saturday evening and hung up. At least she would be with me on Saturday. On Thursday night I decide to stop by their club and see her sing karaoke. I could only stay a little while since I had to work. I didn't tell her I was coming and when I showed up there must have been a dozen people around the table she was at. They had put three tables together so they could sit together. Unfortunately, more than half the people at the table were guys. I went up and sat at the bar and ordered a soda. I watched Ariel at the table, she wasn't doing anything wrong but I could tell she was enjoying herself. It was already nine-thirty when she went up to the stage. She sang 'Where the Boys are', by Connie Francis. She sounded beautiful and it brought tears to my eyes. When she was finished and everyone applauded her she left the stage and noticed me. She seemed surprised and came over to me. "Joey, how long have you been here?" "About a half an hour." "Why didn't you come over to the table?" "You were with your friends and I didn't know any of them so I thought I would sit here. You were wonderful. You brought tears to my eyes." "Thank you, that means a lot to me. Come over to the table and I'll introduce you to everyone." "No, I have to get going to work. I'll see you Saturday at seven sharp." "It was nice of you to come. I really do appreciate it." She leaned forward and gave me one of those gentle kisses on the lips. I left and she went back to her table. I picked her up Saturday and when we got to the car I opened the door for her. She smiled and shook her head. "So, where are we going? I've been looking forward to this for two weeks." "We're going to the Capital Playhouse and see a stage play." "For real?" I asked. "Yes, I figured you have never gone to a play and this is a good one that I've been wanting to see. It's a murder mystery, I think you'll enjoy it." I didn't tell her but as long as she was with me I could enjoy watching hubcaps rust. My feelings were pretty strong and getting harder to hold in check. The play really was good and I enjoyed it. I mentioned to Ariel that it was something else we had in common. I went to an Arby's and we got a quick bite to eat. It was getting late. I took her home and she got out of the car before I could get around and open her door. I asked her when we could go out again. All my Saturdays were open. She gave me a gentle kiss and said to call her sometime during the week. The look in her eyes seemed strange. She must have been thinking about something, but what? When I called her she said she was supposed to have a girl's night out with her girlfriends. They were going bowling and then over to the club for a few drinks. I could meet her at the club if I wanted. "Is there going to be any other guys there?" I asked. "No, not that I'm aware of. I can't say we might not see some guys we know. After all it's a local hangout." As much as I want to be there I just didn't feel right bothering her on her girl's night out. She said they had one every few months. I told her I didn't want to interfere with her plans and besides we would be going to the ball game the following week. On Saturday I felt down. It had been months since I even got laid. I was all wrapped up in Ariel. I went to a bar where I knew older women hung out. They were always looking for young guys. I had a drink and a woman sat next to me and said I looked like I needed company. She put her hand on my thigh and I knew what she wanted. We left and went to her place. It was a mobile home just outside the city limits. I don't even remember her name, all I knew is she wanted to get fucked and that's what we did. I used condoms and fucked her twice. She was pretty drunk so after we were done I covered her up and went home. Why didn't I enjoy it that much? I came both times and she wasn't all that bad looking. I knew what my problem was. I felt I cheated on Ariel and it was working on my conscience. I wasn't even in a relationship and yet was bothered by it. I went to bed and slept in late. I had no reason to get up. I lay there and thought about how stupid I was. Maybe I should just tell Ariel how I felt, but I was so afraid of losing her as a friend. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, that was my position now. I called her for lunch again on Tuesday for Wednesday. She said ok and to meet her in the lobby at noon. There she came down the hall as happy as ever. We headed over to the restaurant across the street. I asked her about her night out with the girls and she said the bowling was fun but at the club they kept getting hit on by guys they didn't know. I guess a few guys that they knew came over and told the other guys to leave them alone and there was a slight altercation. It kind of ruined the night. She did say that she was looking forward to going to the ball game on Saturday and she said she knew I would like it too. I honestly think Ariel knew me better than I knew myself. I was always confused and not good at reading the signs a woman gives. I really enjoyed the ball game. The Reds won which made it all the better. We stopped at a restaurant and received a surprise from Mary and Henry. They were going to get married in three weeks. They were going to a Justice of the Peace but planned to have a small reception of mostly relatives afterwards. Nancy was the only one who knew beforehand because she would be affected, living in the same house. She was ecstatic for her mom. She said she had never seen her mom so content and happy in a long time. Ariel and I congratulated them and told them we would be there at the wedding. I had to think how nice it could have been if I could have made such an announcement. Ariel did tell me during the week that she would not be going out the next two Saturdays. Her mom and the rest of the family were spending time setting up a reception for Mary and Henry. They only had two weeks to get it all together. I told her I understood and would help any way I could. I was able to get the catering service at our store get some special pricing. I took Ariel and Claire to the store and they ordered everything they wanted. It would all be catered and they wouldn't have to worry about the food, dishes or anything of that nature. They even ordered two kegs of beer and the beverages from the store. I felt pretty good that I was able to help. After the reception Nancy would be staying with her dad for a couple of days. Mary and Henry were going to Las Vegas for their Honeymoon. It was now the week before the wedding and I called to speak to Ariel but she was out. I talked to Claire and she thanked me for helping out. I had to think what a great mother she would make. The reason I had called her was I wanted to tell Ariel that I was taking Thursday and Friday night off and was wondering if we might get together. After Claire had told me that they were getting a lot of company in from out of town, I never mentioned it. I told her I would see her Saturday. I was awake early Thursday and thought I'd rush over and have lunch with Ariel, she almost always ate at noon. I went to the receptionist and asked for Ariel. The lady knew me by now. "I'm sorry, Ariel has left for the day." "You wouldn't happen to know where she might have gone?" "I overheard her tell the young man that she loves the Red Lobster. She might have gone there. Do you want to leave a message? Just so you know she's off till Monday. Her Aunt is getting married." "No, that's fine, thank you." I had trouble holding it together. I told myself to calm down, but I was hurting inside wondering what man she had left with. I know I had no right to check up on her but I found myself heading to the Red Lobster. I stepped inside and the lady asked me if she could help me. I told her I was suppose to meet someone here and wondered if she was here yet. She let me glance into the seating area. I saw Ariel with a man. He was a few years older than me and dressed in a suit, a definite professional man. In most people's books he would be considered a hunk. I thought about introducing myself but that would really look stupid. I saw her take him by both hands and squeeze them. She had the most beautiful smile on her face. I couldn't take it anymore. I turned around and left the restaurant. I drove around trying to make sense of it all and all I could come up with is she thought of me as a good friend. I literally pulled to the side of the road and cried. Average Joe Ch. 06 I went to a bar and begun to drink. It was still pretty early in the day. I ordered some greasy food and ate and then started drinking again. I was drunk and went to my car to sleep it off. I got in my back seat and before I knew it, I was out. At about eight at night the police were knocking on my window. They asked to see my identification and asked why I was drunk sleeping in the car. I remember being told one time that as long as you didn't have your keys in the ignition you couldn't be arrested for a DUI. I explained to the officer that I had just lost the woman I loved so I got drunk. I had been sleeping for about four hours. The officer put me in the squad car and drove me home. He said I could come and get my car the next day. I guess he felt sorry for me. I was still drunk but had sobered up some. When I got out of the squad car Nancy was there. "Joey, what happened?" "Are you related to this man?" The officer asked Nancy. "He rents the room above the garage. He's like a brother to me. What happened officer?" "We found him drunk sleeping in his car. He said something about losing his girlfriend." "Thank you for bringing him home officer, I'll see he get inside." I was able to walk and talk ok but Nancy followed me up to my apartment. "Ok Joey what happened?" "Maybe you didn't know but I'm in love with Ariel. I went to have lunch with her and she was with another man, a real hunk. They were holding hands and she really looked happy." "Joey, everyone knows you love Ariel. I'm pretty sure she loves you too. There is something wrong here. You need to go back to bed and get some more rest. You might want to take a shower first, you don't smell so good. You're not a very happy drunk." Nancy left and I took her advice. I took a shower and put on a pair of jockeys and went to bed. At about midnight there was someone beating on my door. It scared the shit out of me. I jumped out of bed and looked out and it was Ariel. She looked mad, scared or both. It was hard to tell. I opened the door and she busted in. She was dressed in a robe and pajamas. "What in the hell is the wrong with you. I got home, got ready for bed and got a call from Nancy. She said the police brought you home and said you have been drinking all day and they found you asleep, drunk in your car. "Nancy went on to say you said you lost your girlfriend. What the hell is going on? You scared me half to death. I didn't even take the time to get dressed. I need to know what happened." "I was there at the Red Lobster. I saw you with that man. I could hardly blame you. You looked so happy." "What were you doing at the Red Lobster? Were you following me?" "No, I mean yes, hell I don't know what I mean. I stopped by to take you to lunch and the lady said you had just left with a young man and wouldn't be back the rest of the day. She did say she overheard that you might be going to the Red Lobster. So I went there and saw you, with him, the good looking man. "I'm sorry, I know it was wrong but I have been in love with you since the day we met. I have always been afraid to tell you because I didn't want to lose you as a friend. Now I've probably lost you as a friend anyway." "Joey I'm mad as hell that you followed me and that you don't trust me. The man you saw me with at the restaurant is my brother. He and his family came in for Aunt Mary's wedding. He asked me out to lunch so we could talk about our lives. The rest of his family is at our house. Of course I would hold his hand and smile at him. He's my brother and I love and miss him." "Oh God, I blew it didn't I?" "You're lucky I love you or I would drop you like a hot potato." "You love me?" "Sometimes you seem so dense. Why do you think that it's only you I kiss on the lips? I'm always holding your hand, why do you think that is? I've dated quite a few guys but you are the only one that never tried to kiss me or tried to accidentally touch my boobs or grab my ass. I waited for you to try something, to make some kind of a move, but you never did. You've never said anything. "You even said it was ok when I went to the game with the guys. Granted nothing would have happened but I wanted you to tell me you loved me and prefer I not go with other men, friends or not. We could have discussed it. I asked you about meeting me on the girl's night out and you declined. I wanted you to say, "I'll be there!" "I was trying to be a gentleman and doing my best to get along with you. I was afraid to touch you and maybe lose you as a best friend. You are my best friend you know." "Joey, I love you too. Couldn't you see that?" She seemed to calm down some. "Do you want to make love to me right now?" "Are you serious? Oh shit, what a stupid answer." I watched her smile and then took her in my arms and kissed her. I did it just the way I was taught. I moistened my lips and kissed her gently. Backed away a few inches, opened my mouth just a little and kissed her harder. I began applying pressure and we were soon touching tongues. "Joey, I don't want to just have sex. I want you to make love to me. Can you do that?" I didn't need to answer her as I took her back into my arms and continued kissing her. I was standing there kissing the woman I loved. I untied her robe and let it fall to the floor. I began to unbutton the top of her pajamas. "You don't have a bra on." I don't even know why I said it. "I don't wear a bra to bed," she answered but I saw a smile. I continued unbuttoning her top and it soon joined her robe on the floor. I walked her over to my bed and we sat down. I kissed her again and pushed her over on her back. "You are so beautiful," I said, as I began to massage her boobs the way I was taught from the side up to the nipple. The first thing to touch her nipples was my lips. I began a gentle sucking on one and then the other. I felt them harden while in my mouth. I then sucked on one while massaging the other. She was running her fingers through my hair as I did this. I got off the bed and leaned forward and began to kiss her taut tummy. She was making light moaning sounds. As I moved down below her belly button I slowly pulled her pajama bottoms off along with her panties. I buried my face in her trimmed muff. I rubbed my face all over it. I could smell her sex while I was doing this. I moved further down and began kissing her pussy. So sweet, hot and wet, I had to bury my face in it. I began tonguing her pussy as it got wetter. Finally we moved up on the bed and I got back between her legs and continued to tongue her pussy. I began to rub her nub with my thumb. I was determined to make her come using my oral abilities. I didn't have long to wait as she screamed out. "God, Joey, it feels so good, I've never felt like this, ever." I told her I have never felt this way about anyone. I felt like I could suck on her pussy forever. "Kiss me Joey, kiss me with my love juices on your face. I want you so much." I did kiss her over and over again. "Take me now Joey, make me your woman." I couldn't believe she was talking like this to me, but I loved it. I reached in the nightstand and grabbed a condom. She saw me and said, "Only if you feel you need it. I'm on the pill and haven't been with anyone since I met you." I threw the condom back in the drawer, removed my jockeys and began rubbing my cock up and down the wet slit of her pussy. It felt so hot on the head of my cock. I put the head of my cock at the entrance of her pussy. "Ariel, I love you more than anyone else in the world. I want you to know that," I said as I pushed my cock slowly and deep into her. I know this was the best sex ever. It must be because of who I was having sex with. I pumped and pushed my cock in and out of her. I felt her scream out again as she had a huge orgasm. She wrapped her legs around me as best she could. "I'm about to come Baby," I said to her. "I love you so much," as I let loose with the largest load I can ever remember. Ariel was having multiple orgasms as I just held my cock deep in her. Her pussy kept having spasms, each time squeezing my cock till I had nothing left. Our bodies were both soaking wet. I pulled my cock out of her and held myself up with my arms as I kissed her one more time. I rolled off to her side and was trying to slow down my breathing. She rolled over on her side and said, "I'm not telling you about my past but that was the most erotic sexual experience I have ever had. I can't believe I came so many times. Where did you learn to make love like that?" "Ariel, I've had sex with women before but I have never experienced love before. This is a first for me to make love with someone I truly care for." She leaned over and kissed me as we cuddled. We must have fallen asleep because Ariel said to me. "Joey, wake up, it five o'clock. I have to get home before my household wakes up." She went into the bathroom, I figure to relieve herself and wipe herself off. She came back out and quickly put on her pajamas and Robe. "Joey, this isn't a one-time thing and you need to know that I'm your woman and I love you." After giving me a kiss she left quietly and I watched her car pull out of the driveway. I lay back in my bed on the wet spot and knew I was the luckiest man alive. I got up around ten and cleaned up. I figured I better change my sheets too. I called Ariel and Claire answered the phone. "Hi Mrs. Moore, may I speak to Ariel?" "Good thing you didn't call ten minutes ago, she just got up." She didn't seem mad in fact I thought she laughed. "Hi Joey, what's up?" asked Ariel. I figured her relatives were all up and could hear her conversation. "I had the best time of my life last night and wanted to make sure it wasn't a dream," I said. "It wasn't, I had a dream last night too. Hold on a sec, Mom's telling me something." "What did she want?" I asked. "She said since you had the night off she was wondering if you wanted to come over and meet the family?" "I'd love to, I'll be there in an hour. I love you," I said and hung up. I forgot I didn't have my car. I had to go pick it up. I saw Nancy as I was waiting for the cab. "Are you ok today," she asked. "I called Ariel and told her what you said last night." "Yes I'm fine," I answered. "In fact I'm better than fine, I'm heading over now to meet some of her family as soon as I go pick up my car." "Oh! By the way, I saw Ariel's car pull out a little after five this morning. Don't worry, I can keep a secret. Glad you two were able to work it out." Nancy went in the house laughing. She was too smart for her age. As I was driving to Ariel's place I had thought of all the things I owed Nancy for. She really was like a sister to me. I met Ariel's brothers and their families. I couldn't believe it when Ariel introduced me as her boyfriend. Her mom didn't even seem surprised. Was I the only one wearing blinders all this time? I spent the day with Ariel and her family. We ordered in some pizza and I listened to all the stories they told me about Ariel growing up. **** The day of the wedding I put on my suit and tie. I went to see Mary and Nancy to see if they needed anything. Henry would be moving in after they got back from their honeymoon. I have to say that Mary looked beautiful. She had that special glow that you hear new brides have. She told me she was truly happy and wanted to thank me for it. It was during our time together that she realized she was still a desirable woman. She still had a lot to give the right man. She had been sulking for two years and now felt like a new person. "I guess we helped each other," I said. I told her I had a girlfriend. She laughed and said Ariel and I were meant for each other. We weren't opposites at all, just brought up differently. I wished her luck and headed over to pick up my girlfriend. She had a glow about her too. She was my angel, the love of my life. We headed out the door and she had a little suitcase with her. "What's in the suitcase," I asked. "My change of clothes. I'm not sleeping in this dress." "Where are you staying?" She looked at me and said, "You're having one of your dense moments." It was then I realized she was spending the night with me. The wedding was great. I danced with Ariel, Nancy, Claire, Mary and any other women who wanted to dance. We did some line dancing, the Macarena, and a lot of just jumping around. It was fantastic. Both Mary's and Ariel's families treated me like I belonged. Robert laughed when I told him Ariel was my girlfriend. After saying congratulations and goodbye to Mary and Henry, Ariel and I headed to my apartment. When we got there I didn't wait for her to make a move. I immediately took her in my arms and kissed her. It didn't take long for us to get undressed. I had to smile when Ariel said she wasn't used to undressing in front of a man. When I asked her if her family knew where she was staying she said she told her brother she would be staying at a friend's house for the night and it would give him and his wife a comfortable bed. She would see them in the morning before they left for home. I told Ariel I wanted to do special things with her tonight. I wanted to show her how much I truly loved her. At first she looked at me a bit nervous. "Ok," she said slowly, "but don't hurt me, I'm not into pain." "I could never hurt you," I said as I asked her to lie on her back.

Chapter 7: The conclusion When I last left off I had Ariel lying on my bed naked. To me she was the most beautiful girl in the world and I told her so, "I feel funny lying here naked and you staring at me," Ariel responded. "If I didn't love you and trust you so much I might be a bit worried." "Just give me a sec. I'm going to give you somewhat of a massage." I reached in the drawer and took out the lotion. I went to the end of the bed and began rubbing her feet. I may not have been the best masseur but I had a pretty good idea what to do. I took her foot in my hand and began rubbing the bottom and heel of her foot. I put a bit of oil on my fingers and rubbed the ball of each foot, spreading her pretty little toes and massaging each one. "That feels so good, especially since I've been on them all day and all that dancing," said Ariel. I put more oil on my hands and began rubbing her calves. This wasn't a deep massage but just a gentle rubbing of oil on her body. I put her leg on my shoulder and began applying oil to her thigh. She had these tight muscles in her legs from exercising. She lay there with her eyes closed as I did each thigh. I had I perfect view of her pussy and I could see it becoming moist. I did my best not to touch her pussy but it wasn't easy. I did rub right up to it. I said to myself, "Take your time, do as you were taught." Next I moved up to her shoulders and rubbed the light oil on her working my way down to her breasts. She opened her eyes and said, "I love you more than I've ever loved anyone." I knew she meant it because I could see a tear in her eye. I leaned over and kissed her. I moved down and began massaging her breasts. It only took seconds before her nipples became hard and I had to suck on them. She wrapped her arms around my head and pulled me to her breasts and held me there. It was now time to do her taut belly. I rubbed some oil on her and massaged her from her belly button to her muff. I then kissed her body following the same trail. My face again ended up in her muff. I could see her pussy was so wet and I could again smell her sex. I reached over in my drawer and she saw me. "You don't need a condom Joey," she said. "It's not a condom, it's a surprise." I took out my little finger vibrator and slipped it on. I began sucking on her wet pussy and I applied the vibrator to her clit. "Oh my God, what is that?" she said as she had her first orgasm of the night. I received a face full of her juice. "Kiss me Joey, kiss me now." I did what she asked and we were doing some really heavy kissing. I showed her the little vibrator. I rolled over on my back and Ariel got on stop of me. Watching the woman I loved slowly lowering herself on my cock was the most wonderful turn on. She was smiling at me while she moved up and down on my stiff cock. She was having mini orgasms and I could see it in her face. I couldn't hold back any longer. I shot my load of love juice up in her pussy. I knew she felt it and lowered herself all the way down taking all of my cock. She stretched out her legs and laid her head on my chest and she fell asleep with my cock still in her. After it softened I felt it fall out and dozed off myself. Sometime during the night she must have gotten off of me and covered us both up. I woke up with her cuddled up to me still sleeping with a smile on her face. I wasn't going to disturb her for the world. I lay there and just thought about how lucky I was. She woke up and rushed to the bathroom. When she came back she slipped on her panties and pajama top that she never had a chance to wear the night before. "I'm sorry for putting some clothes on but I'm a little self conscious about being nude in front of men, it's just something I've never done." I slipped on my jockeys and a pair of pajama bottoms. "I could get used to seeing you naked. You're so beautiful." "Joey, I feel I should tell you a little about my past love life. I don't want us to have secrets." "Honey, your past is your past and mine is mine. Knowing who you had sex with isn't something I really want to know." "I still want to tell you. I've only had sex with two guys. They were boyfriends at the time. I cared for them and even thought I might have loved them at the time. I know I mentioned Brian when I first met you. He was the second guy I was with. We broke up because he asked me to marry him and I realized he wasn't the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with." "Why are you telling me this?" "Because after being with you and making love with you I realize what love truly is. I just want you to know that I've never played around. Yes I dated quite a few guys but wasn't intimate with them. I just needed for you to know." She came over and just hugged me. "Ok, short and simple. I've had sex with a number of women. Most all were older than me. I was naive and nervous. One particular lady taught me how to make women happy. At first I thought I loved her. She was my first but she explained to me that it was just sex between us and I would know when I found my true love. She was right. "I met you and life was never the same for me. When we finally made love I knew there would never be another like you. That's all I'm going to say about my sex life." We took a shower together and I took her home. I dropped her off hoping she wouldn't have to answer many questions. After that night life for me was never the same. Ariel's schedule was pretty much the same but Saturday nights were ours to share. A lot of Sundays I was also invited over for family events. I guess I was somewhat a part of the family. One day a week we tried to have lunch together. It had been a few weeks since Mary and Henry's wedding. I saw Nancy and asked her if she would go shopping with me. I needed her help. "Do I get lunch and a movie?" she asked smiling at me. "Yes, as long as you promise not to tell Ariel." "Why would you want to hide it from Ariel? It's just shopping and a movie." "I want to buy her an engagement ring and I know she would wonder what I went shopping for and why I needed you along. I'm not very good at lying to her. I love her too much. Nancy came up with a solution. She would just tell Ariel that she felt I owed her a favor and asked me to take her shopping for some school clothes. Ariel bought it. Of course we did have to pick up some clothes also. When we got to the jewelry store Nancy went over to the smaller, cheaper sets. "No, Nancy, this is for the love of my life, I don't want to skimp on her ring." "Joey, the rings in this section you're looking at run almost four-thousand dollars. Do you have that kind of money to spend on a ring?" "If it's for Ariel, yes, I have a large savings plan for special situations and I think this falls into that category." Nancy found what I thought would be perfect for Ariel. The dealer said it regularly sold forty-five hundred dollars but would sell it to me for four thousand dollars which including the wedding ring. I was ready to buy it when Nancy said, "Joey, I think I saw a similar set at the other jewelry store we were at. It was only thirty-five hundred dollars. Maybe we should go back and look at it." I had to wonder what Nancy was talking about. We didn't go to any other Jewelry store. The sales person quickly said, "Let me talk to the manager and see if we can do any better." Nancy looked at me and I realized she was a real shopper. The manager came over and gave his sales pitch. "I can come down two hundred dollars but that's the best I can do." I was ready to say ok when Nancy spoke. "Well, three hundred dollars is three hundred dollars, thank you for your offer but I think we'll go with the thirty-five hundred." As I turned to leave following Nancy the manager said, "Wait! Would you be paying cash or charge?" "Cash." I said to the manager. He looked over at Nancy and said, "Little Lady, you drive a hard bargain but I'll let you have it for thirty-five hundred, plus sales tax." "It's a deal," said Nancy. "Joey, pay the man." Nancy couldn't believe I had the money in my pocket. I had withdrawn five-thousand dollars before we had left to go shopping. I paid for the ring and we got our package and walked away. When we left Nancy asked me if I was nuts. "Why are you carrying that kind of cash?" "I don't have a checking account and we said cash, so I couldn't use my credit account. Thank you for saving me so much money. I'll take you anywhere you want for dinner." I had to laugh when she said the Red Lobster. You could tell she and Ariel were related. After we ate we took in a Harry Potter movie. Not exactly my type of movie but Nancy enjoyed it. I had to buy her a bucket of popcorn too. Ariel stopped by on Sunday to see Mary. While she was there Nancy showed her the clothes that she had bought. Nancy had also told her that we ate at the Red Lobster and saw Harry Potter. Ariel came up to my apartment. "I heard a rumor that you were out with a young woman. You were seen smiling at her at the Red Lobster. Later you were seen entering the theatre. Is any of this true?" "Yes, it's all true but the young girl was Nancy. I promised to take her shopping." Ariel laughed, "See how blown out of proportion things can get. That's why we always need to be honest with each other. Nancy just told me you took her shopping." She put her arms around my neck and kissed me. I wanted more but she said she had to get home. I did take the time to grab her by the cheeks of her ass pull her into me and kiss her again. She smiled and told me she loved me and that I could grab her ass most anytime but preferably not in public or in front of her family. At work on Monday I got some great news. The manager of the dairy department was retiring and I was offered the job. There wasn't much of a pay raise but I would be working day shift. I would have one full time and three part time employees working under me. It would be up to me to set the work schedule. I could hardly wait to tell Ariel. We met for lunch on Wednesday and she was really happy for me. She was always worried about calling me and waking me up. Now we would be on similar shifts. I could still meet her for lunch once a week. My new position was to start the following Monday. Now I had to work on my plan to surprise her. On Thursday night I went to her Karaoke performance she was great as always. Some of her friends at work knew me and I asked Craig and Jerry to do me a favor. I didn't want Ariel to know anything about it. Two weeks later, I was now on day shift, and I planned to attend Karaoke night with Ariel. I had already had my talk with Craig and Jerry. I was sitting with Ariel at the table with her co-worker friends. They knew she was my girlfriend. Hell, everyone knew now. What she didn't know was I invited her parents, also Mary and Henry, I told them to bring Nancy. I got hold of Aunt Trudy and Uncle Ralph and asked them to come. Everyone was sitting on the opposite side of the room so Ariel couldn't see them. There seemed to be an overflow crowd that night. Craig and Jerry had both sung and when they came back to the table they were kidding with me about singing. "I can't sing, that's Ariel's department." "We dare you to even try. How do you know if you don't try," said Craig. "Yeah, I'd like to hear you try to sing." said Jerry. "Alright guys, that's enough, quit picking on Joey," Ariel responded. "Guess he is too chicken to even try," said Craig. "I said that's enough," said Ariel. "I thought you guys were our friends." Ariel was a bit aggravated. "Hell with it, I'm not chicken, I'll give it a try," I said as I stood up. "Joey, you don't have to prove anything to anybody. Please sit down," said Ariel. "Nope, I'm going to do it." I got up and wondered if this was a good idea. The place was packed. I could see our families sitting on the other side of the room. I took the microphone, and there was dead silence. I looked over at Ariel and she was giving Craig and Jerry the evil eye. "Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Joey Holder. I'm not a singer and won't put you through the agony of listening to me." I heard a few laughs. "The reason I'm up here is to ask a very special person a very important question" Ariel was now staring at me. "Most of you know Ariel, she sings here regularly. She has the voice of an angel and she looks like one too." Ariel knew what was going on as I saw tears running down her face. "Ariel, I love you and the world knows it. I always considered myself an average Joe but you taught me that everyone is special in some way. I'm the luckiest man alive to just have met you. Now I want much, much more. I want you to be my wife." I had tears coming down my cheeks. "If you say no I'm going to be awfully embarrassed. You can't see them from where you're sitting but your family and mine are here tonight to hear you sing." Ariel stood up and walked toward the stage. She saw everyone sitting there. I have to say you really could have heard a pin drop. Ariel continued up on the stage and put her arms around my neck and kissed me. "Of course I'll marry you. I wouldn't want to live without you." Everyone started cheering and her family and friends stood up and applauded. I reached in my pocket and took out the ring and put it on her shaking hand. "If you don't like the ring, blame Nancy, she helped me pick it out." "Oh my God, I love the ring and I love you." She looked over the huge crowd now beginning to sit down. "I will sing a song in a few minutes but please give me some time to get my composure back." We went back down to our seats where our friends congratulated us. She told Craig and Jerry that she owed them big time. "We just did what Joey asked," said Jerry. "Oh, he going to get his, I can assure you." I looked at her and said, "I sure hope so." Awhile later Ariel got up and said she wanted to sing 'Over the Rainbow' because it was my favorite song. When she finished singing she had half the audience including me with tears in their eyes. We met our families outside after singing was over. Everyone was so happy for us. The two women who seemed to cry the most were my Aunt Trudy and Mary. Nancy was so happy that there would be another wedding to plan and go to. Life was great, it honestly couldn't be better. We did get married six months later and everyone we knew attended. We lived in my apartment till Ariel found out we would be having a baby. She stopped taking the pill the night before our wedding. We found a nice house with three bedrooms. We weren't going to stop with one child. Ariel still did her exercise twice a week, we had lunch together at least once a week, and we visited family most every Sunday. Every few months she still had her night out with the girls. But if they were going to stop for drinks, I made sure I was there to meet her. The nicest part was we were together every night. We enjoyed making love. Sometimes we had some pretty raw sex. Even cuddling with her was great. We attended a number of ball games, both baseball and football. We usually took Nancy with us and she always brought a friend. We learned we had so much in common. I believe it was because we wanted to be with each other. If I'm average then being average is very good, I wouldn't want it any other way. I love it when the average guy gets the girl. * Hope you enjoyed my story Comments are welcome and appreciated.
