I never meant to get into a new relationship after so long not least with a girl, and girl is the right word who could have been my daughter. In fact, she was my daughters’ best friend which is how we came to meet in the first place.
I should explain that I am just shy of 50, a widower, my wife Louise died of cancer ten years ago and along with the grief of losing not just my lover but my best friend and confidant meant that for the years since I had thrown all my energy into bringing up our two children.
I couldn’t contemplate starting to date again and although time healed my broken heart, my sex life was confined to porn on my laptop and the making love to my right hand.
The kids grew into well balanced young adult, our son after finishing A levels decided he did not want to go to university and wanted to see the world, he chose to join the Royal Navy. In that respect he was exactly like me, I had spurred a university education for a life of travel and taken a gamble that I would get that life by joining the British army.
It had been a gamble which had paid off and after twenty-five years I had been to many, many countries around the world and seen and experienced so much. The only black spot in an otherwise wonderful career was the loss of my Louise, whom having accompanied me to some exotic places and stayed at home worrying at other times had been taken so cruelly taken from us. The army was good to me and I was able to nurse my wife through her final year and then remain in the UK for my last three years of service.
Our daughter had inherited my wife’s stunning looks and brains which was coupled with my physique meaning that heads were always turning wherever she went. I knew from an early stage that she would give me trouble as she grew up and I was not wrong, for a year from the age of 16 she went a bit wild and there were a few occasions when she was brought home by the police I honestly didn’t know what to do.
But just as quickly as the wild stage had started, it ended and before I knew it, she was off to university, except she wasn’t exactly off to Uni. We were lucky to have one of the top universities in the country on our doorstep who offered her a place, enabling her to keep costs down and live at home.
This is how I met Jade she was at Uni with my daughter and whilst they had started as drinking buddies, they had quickly become best friends. When I had been introduced to her, she had seemed pleasant enough with a very nice and fit body, but thought nothing more about her as she was my daughters’ friend. After all she was 19 and that was that, as I said after ten years a relationships or real sex were far removed from my mind.
So how did it start?
It started with my daughter coming downstairs one Saturday afternoon.
“Dad, would you mind giving me and Jade a lift tonight, we have a friends party to go to.”
I sighed and pulled a face, “Ok, but I am not picking you up, ok, not unless you are planning on coming home before midnight.”
“Good God, no chance," was all she said before turning and leaving the room.
“A thank you would not go amiss and would be appreciated, oh and what time?”
“We want to leave at seven and thank you,” she shouted from the stairs, “Jade will be coming about five so we can get ready.”
I didn’t bother to reply, but returned to watching the football on TV.
I heard the doorbell go at five as she had said, but chose to ignored it as I knew it would be Jade and that Amy could answer it. After the third ring I stomped to the door shouting as sarcastically as I could that I would get it.
As expected it was Jade, she was dressed in jeans and a hoodie, in her hand she had a small wheeled case the sort you would use as hand luggage if you were boarding a flight.
“Hi Mr,” she paused, “I always feel awkward calling you by your surname do you mind if I call you Chris.”
“Of course, you’re not a kid,” I nodded at the case, “you planning on sleeping over when you eventually make it back here in the early hours of the morning.”
“Yeah, but if the party is anything like last time it might be more like mid-morning tomorrow when we get in.”
I rolled my eye, “if you are sick or anything you are responsible for cleaning it up.”
“No need to worry on that score I hardly drink, but I do like to dance and party occasionally."
With that she headed off upstairs to join Amy in her room.
....
A couple of hours later I heard the pair of them coming downstairs and stood up to go and get my shoes so that I could drive them to the party.
The girls walked into the room, “Dad, can you take a photo of us before we go, please?”
I held out my hand and I took her phone from her, “it’s all set up you just need to point it and press the button.”
“I do think I know how to take a photo you know, if you want a decent shot I can get the SLR camera out.”
“No just take the shot and then let's go.”
I held the phone up at eye level, “say cheese,” for the first time I really noticed what they were wearing. Amy had on a trouser jumpsuit, the leg part was black whilst the top was white with a deep plunging neckline. I wanted to say something about it not being appropriate, but knew that she would ignore my comment anyway and it would only sour the atmosphere.
Jade was wearing a boob tube dress which was covered in gold sequins and really caught the light. It was pretty short finishing halfway down her thighs showing off her incredibly long toned and tanned legs.
As with all girls of that age, they seem to have a natural ability to pose in front of the camera and both girls stood at a slight angle to the lens with their heads back and the natural S curve body pose.
I snapped a couple of photos and handed the camera back to Amy taking a quick and lasting look at Jade’s body headed off to find my shoes.
As I walked upstairs a thought flashed through my mind quickly about what I would like to do with that body. It was quickly pushed to one side by feelings of guilt and disgust, she was my daughters’ friend and I was just being a dirty old man.
The girls sat in the back as I drove them to the party and as with all teenagers the conversation was fast and for me pretty much unintelligible, I was not sure when they actually took a breath as there seemed to be no break in the stream of words. I caught the odd word but I other than that it was like they were speaking a foreign language.
Dropping them off outside the student flats I headed home got showered, watched a film on Netflix and then retired to bed.
....
It was late, well actually it was early, it was nearly morning when I heard a car pull up, followed by the slamming of the car doors and the sounds of two giggling girls entering the house. I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep whilst at the same time listening to the two drunk girls trying to be quiet as they came up the stairs and went to bed.
I suddenly had an image of Jade’s long tan legs in my mind and found my hand instinctively made its way to my crotch where I slowly started to tug at my penis, I felt it grow in my hands as I took my daydream further and thought about the dress dropping from her body to reveal a nice firm pair of tits and a small black thong. Yes, I thought she would be wearing a thong, that dress had been quite tight and there is no way she would have ruined the silhouette by wearing any other form of underwear, that is of course if she chose to wear underwear.
I rolled over onto my back and kicked off the covers, I was wanking quite furiously now as I imagined what it would be like to peel off that thong and slip my cock into her warm and wet pussy. My thoughts and desires were pretty base as it had been a long time since I had seen a naked woman in the flesh my only sexual contact with the fairer sex was on porn sites.
The thought of her soft, smooth skin against mine saw me quickly get to the peak and I came all over my stomach, spurt after spurt of warm cum flew from my cock and landed on my stomach.
Oh, shit I thought and without moving off my back, I struggled to reach down under the bed to find the box of tissues which were always held there. This was something that my wife had always done and even after she had gone, I continued to place a box of tissues under the bed as you never knew when you would need to blow your nose, honest.
The thoughts of Louise and the fact that I had been lusting after our daughter's friends suddenly made me feel uncomfortable.
I wiped myself down, grabbed my phone put on some soft soothing music to play quietly on the wireless speaker in the room and tried to go back to sleep. Thoughts meandered in and out of my mind until I fell into a fitful sleep.
....
The next morning being a Sunday I should have enjoyed a lie in bed, but even though I knew I was being silly I felt unsettled and so was up early. Not wishing to make too much noise, I was guessing the girls would be hungover and would not take kindly to me banging and crashing around the house, I decided that a good thing to do would be to take myself off to the gym.
I slipped on a pair of running tights and a running vest which I covered with a red sweatshirt and hit the gym for a couple of hours. In my youth I had been a very good runner and even now I would train three or four times a week, mostly on a treadmill as the lower limbs could no longer take the impact from the roads. I find it helps release stress and is a great time to just think of anything, everything or nothing at all.
Getting back from the gym the girls were still not up so I wandered into the kitchen fixed myself up a drink of tea and turned to head into the living room.
I started in surprise as leaning on the door frame watching me was Jade.
“Sorry Chris, I didn’t mean to shock you like that, I was just waiting for you to finish before I came in the kitchen and got myself a drink, you don’t mind if I make myself a drink, do you?”
“Help yourself, you just surprised me a bit, I just didn’t hear you get up or come down the stairs, how is your head?”
I stepped to one side to allow her into the kitchen and watched as she moved to the kettle and made herself a drink. She was wearing a white satin dressing gown, which barely covered her arse and was tied in the middle, every time she stretched for an item it rose up to show a small pair of blue cotton shorts covering her bum and providing a bit of modesty. She was not wearing anything on her feet.
“Are your feet not cold on the tiled floor?”
“No, they are fine, I like the cold feeling and besides I won’t be long in here.”
With the vision of her arse now burned into my memory I turned and walked into the living room.
Jade made herself a drink and a slice of toast and came and asked if she could join me.
“Sure, take a seat,” I pointed at the other sofa off to one side of me and watched as she put her plate and cup on the coffee table and sat down and got comfortable. She sat raised one leg and tucked it underneath the thigh on her other leg.
Is she doing this on purpose I wondered as sat in that position I now had a perfect view of those blue shorts and because of the way she was sitting they were stretched tight and framed her pussy in the perfect camel toe.
I glanced down and quickly looked away, feeling the blood rush to my face, it was a good job I was still slightly red-faced from the workout otherwise she would have noticed my embarrassment, but that was the least of my troubles. I was wearing Lycra running tights and could now feel my cock beginning to stir.
“Do you run, Chris?” She asked as she started to eat her toast.
“I jog these days, when I was younger, I competed at quite a good level, but now it is just to keep the weight down.”
“Well your legs look pretty good in those tights, where do you train?”
“The local gym, it's just up the road. Nothing fancy, you know the normal stuff a few bikes, cross trainers, rowing machines but more importantly for me plenty of treadmills and a decent weights room. I get very frustrated when I go to a gym and can’t run.”
“Is that what you do mostly then?”
“I vary my session from day to day, long steady run, sprints, hills, etc. but I run every time I go to the gym and then I will do some light weights. What’s with all the questions?”
“Oh, I am just interested, I fancy getting fit, lose a few pounds and was just wondering.”
I pondered how to answer that last sentence, was she fishing for compliments or did she really think she needed to lose weight? If I said the wrong thing I was going to come over as creepy. I took a deep breath,
“How can you think you need to lose weight, you look fine to me.”
“Why thank you, kind Sir,” she said, putting on a mock American accent, “you know what we women are like, we are never happy with our bodies, I just think that I could do with getting fitter.”
“You should come with me to the gym,” I blurted out, instantly regretting it.
Jade smiled, “I am going back up to check on Amy,” and with that she jumped up and skipped out the door and up the stairs.
Shit, shit, shit was all I could think as I got up and went off to get showered.
I did not see either Jade or Amy for the rest of the day. In the evening they ordered Pizza to be delivered and I heard one of them run down and answer the door when it was delivered.
.....
They were still in Amy’s room when I went to bed that night and I had no idea when I got up the next morning if Jade was still in the house. To be on the safe side whilst I was getting ready for work I locked the door to the bathroom. I found out that Jade had stayed a second night as I was putting my coat on and heading out the door to go to work.
“Er, Chris could I have a word.”
“Sure,” was all I could muster as I turned to face her.
“You going to the gym tonight?”
“I am planning to, provided I don’t feel too knackered after work, any reason for asking?”
“Would you mind if I tagged along, I won’t get in your way, but if I say I am going with you it will be the kick up the arse I need to ensure that I actually go,” she looked a bit coy as she was asking.
My heart skipped a beat as I smiled, “why not, I will sign you in as my guest, but if you like it and want to go regularly you will have to sign up to a gym membership. I normally go straight to the gym from work so do you want to meet me up there at about six tonight or do you want me to pick you up from someplace, I mean give to a lift to the gym not pick you up like a girl in a bar, no not a girl in a bar.”
My voice trailed off, for god sake, stop talking, your acting like some weird lovestruck teenager I thought.
Jade laughed, “I know what you mean, I will meet you at the gym tonight at six, consider it a date,” and with that she winked at me, I could still hear her laughing as she ran up the stairs.
. .....
Monday is never a good day, but it absolutely dragged as all I wanted to do was get to the gym.
I tried to convince myself that I was actually looking forward to having a companion at the gym, but who was I fooling, the real reason I was desperate for this day to end was because I wanted to see her body in gym gear.
Arriving at the gym, Jade could not be seen so I swiped in and went and got changed, I felt a little deflated at her no show, but as I kept telling myself I was there for my benefit, not hers.
As I left the changing room, I glanced over to the reception area and saw her standing at the front desk. She had on a pink sweatshirt, black full-length Lycra tights finished off with pink Nike trainers.
She waved and my heart started beating faster before I had even begun my work out. I went over and signed her in, explaining to Pam on reception that Jade was a friend of my daughters who was thinking of joining. For some reason I felt I had to justify why I was there with a beautiful young woman.
As we walked down the corridor towards the main workout area I pointed at a door, “that’s the female changing room, you will find lockers in there to stow your stuff, have you got a pound coin? I will wait for you out here.”
“Thanks Chris, I won’t be a minute, just take my top off and throw my bag in a locker then.”
She turned and pushed through the door, my eye watching her incredibly pert arse until the door swung close stopping my viewing delights.
What came back through those doors nearly had me keel over with a heart attack. Jade had taken her top off and underneath all she had on was a tiny grey sports training bra. Her breast were pushed up and looked incredible above a set of very tight abs. She had pulled her hair back into a ponytail which ran down her back with the end strands touching the top of the black Lycra tights.
“What do you want to do first?” I asked.
“How about I just follow you around and do what you do only slower or lighter depending on what it is.”
I nodded, “good idea, follow me.”
With that I walked into the gym knowing that today I was going to have a great session.
…..
We worked out for about 2 hours, starting with a short warm-up and then doing light weights before finishing up with a half hour steady state run.
Jade lifted nearly the same weights as me and was very comfortable on the treadmill. For my part I will admit to staring perhaps once too often at her in the mirrors always using the excuse that I was just checking that she was ok.
“Can I ask you something?” I said very carefully as we got into the car, “this was not your first time in a gym was it? In fact, I would go so far as to say you work out a lot.”
“Wellllll,” she looked at me, “ok, yes, I do work out regularly, I am not going to deny it, what gave me away?
“Oh, I don’t know, maybe it was the fact that you were lifting the same weights as me, or possibly the fact that you were running nearly as fast as me and were not even out of breath. Or maybe it was the fact that you knew exactly how to do all the exercises without having to be shown.”
We got into the car and I looked at her, “So why the lie?”
“I would have thought that was obvious,” she said, “I have been dropping hints for the last three days, I like you, really like you.”
“Oh,” was all I could utter, “You stopping at ours tonight?”
“No could you give me a lift to the student flats please.”
We drove the couple of miles to her flat in an awkward silence, she looked out of the side window and didn’t look at me once. My mind was racing, what the hell was going on, what should I do.
Pulling up outside the flat, Jade went to jump out of the car, “Jade wait.”
Her hand paused on the door handle, “I am sorry Chris I clearly got it wrong, I thought you fancied me I was obviously wrong.”
“Jade, look at me please. I do fancy you I just didn’t think you fancied me, I am old enough to be your father for Christ sake, why would you fancy me, I’m not some strapping 20 something. I am not some party animal going out every night drinking, I like going to bed early, watching sport on TV whilst drinking a cup of tea in my slippers and pyjamas.”
Jade laughed, “you have got to be kidding me, have you seen the dorks that go for guys my age, you’re in very good shape and not just for a guy ‘your age’,” at that point she did the imaginary speech marks in the air, “you’re in good shape for a guy of any age, as for your likes I am a fitness freak so I don’t party every night either I much prefer a nice meal and to watch the odd film on TV so it sounds like we have a lot in common.”
I looked at her, “If that is the case then can I take you out for a dinner on Saturday, I know it is five days away, but it will give me time to clear my head, everyone is always going on at me to move on and I know it has been ten years but the fact is that it has been ten years and that is part of the problem.”
