It felt like it took forever for me to see Addie again and with the time difference and not being able to talk as much, just made me miss her a lot more.

Now I she knows that I love her, and she has told me the same. The euphoric feeling it gave me also made me miss her a lot more.

Good thing I was extremely busy, and it made time fly so much faster. Before I knew it, I was on my way to Hawaii and prepare for Addie’s arrival.

I was able to finish all my work commitments by Tuesday morning, so I had lots of time to prepare. I got a shave and a haircut then I went to a florist and bought her some flowers.

Addie arrived around 5:30 PM and we headed straight to our hotel. The suite was everything we hoped for and more. But as soon as we walked in our suite, we did not care how nice it was, nor how good the view was. We had one thing in mind. Read more »

Last weekend was the longest time that Addie and I spent together. A couple of things contributed to that. First, I think Addie was happy that we basically got her daughter’s blessing for us to see each other. Addie was not sure how her children would take to the news of the two of us seeing each other and having her daughter’s approval was a big relief to her. She was not really worried about her son since she felt that her daughter had her back.

The second was the fact that I will be gone for the next two weeks for work and I will be on the West Coast and Hawaii. Calling each other will be more limited because of the time difference, especially when I am in Hawaii.

I’ve already talked about what happened on Thursday on part 3, so I will start with Friday.

It was a busy day for me since I was leaving on Monday. I made my appointments, made sure I had everything I needed for my trip, etc. I was getting ready to make another pot of coffee when Addie walked in. I was surprised since it was only 12:15. I asked if everything was okay and she came up to me, threw her arms around me and we kissed. Read more »

Addie and I had just finished having sex and like most times post-sex, we were in bed naked and Addie was on her stomach with her chin on her arms resting on my chest. A lot of our deepest most meaningful conversations have happened while on this position. I don’t know… Addie being naked while we talked somehow just lowers by defenses. If we were in this position and she asked me to sign over my 401K to her, I am not sure that I wouldn’t. But I digress.

“My daughter called me today.” She said.

“Is everything okay?” I asked.

“Everything’s fine. But get this, she asked if you and I were dating.”

I looked at her and a bit surprised that she was smiling.

“I guess she found out that you and I are spending a lot of time together.” She added.

“Wasn’t from me.” I said defensively.

“No, I know it wasn’t from you. Her friend from next door asked her, and she said she did not know.”

I waited for her to finish the story but maybe she wanted me to pry. So, I asked the question. Read more »

February 14, 2019.

I have been traveling for work since that Monday. Abbie and I have spoken several times a day since I left home. We would talk when she is at lunch. Then on her way home, she would text me and ask if I was available to talk while she drove home (9 out of 10 times I was) and then when I got settled at my hotel we would video chat.

It was kinda strange since if I was home, we did not speak everyday let alone several times. Addie would always end the video chat the same way… she would tilt her head slightly to her left, smile and say “can’t wait to see you”. Every time she did that, it warmed my heart.

Anyway, back to Valentines day. Lunch time came and I got a text from her. “Running late. Will talk to you later.” I paid it no mind, but I admit I was a little disappointed. Read more »

[MF] My best buddy’s widow.

Geoff and Addison (I call her Addie) were the first people I met when I moved into town over two and a half decades ago and have remained good friends all these years.

Early last year, Geoff passed away. Fast forward to last November. I got home from traveling for work just before noon on Saturday as I saw Addie, carrying groceries from her car. It’s the first time I have seen her in about two months, so I decided to stop by and say hi.

I walked over and asked if she needed help and she point to the back of her SUV and it was full of groceries. Then she answered “what do you think?” .

I grabbed a few bags and carried it inside. A few more trips and we were done. I asked where her kids were and I guess I have been more out of the loop than I thought. Her daughter had moved out when school started and her son was at work and is getting ready to move out in the beginning of the year. Read more »

[MF] Playing with a woman half my age.

It was a rainy Saturday morning. I was planning on mowing the lawn but I don’t think it was going to happen. I decided to break out a bag of Kona coffee I brought back from Hawaii.

I sat down in my family room to watch TV and enjoy my coffee, the door bell rang. Mandy, was my son’s ex-girlfriend and they have know each other since elementary school. They broke up before he went to college out of state but they stayed good friends. That was four years ago. My son lives in his college town (near his mom) and comes down to see me occasionally.

Mandy asked if my son was home and I said no. She was hoping since it was a long weekend that he would’ve been home. I told her that he and his friends decided to go somewhere and told her that I do not think I will be seeing him until labor day weekend.

I asked if she was okay and she shrugged her shoulders. I invited her in and told her that I had just made a fresh pot of really good coffee and asked if she wanted some and she said yes. Read more »
