It was nice." She gave me a kiss on the cheek and turned back towards the house. Dad waved and motioned for me to join him for a beer after. I signall...ed an affirmative and finished cutting the lawn. After putting the lawn mower away and finishing the yard work I was ready for a beer. Dad had a chair and a cold one waiting for me when I came back out by the pool. Mom and aunt Gerri were gabbing like lost friends and dad was biding his time sipping on his cold one. I sat down and took a long pull. My wife was continuously asking one question or other, without taking her eyes off him. She started enquiring whether he is married or not. Why? Etc.I asked her to prepare a cup of coffee for him. She then realized that she has forgotten everything. We asked Arun to get fresh and let’s have coffee. Arun left for bathroom and we moved to the kitchen. I asked her, what is the matter? She said me openly, Rahul please. I want to fuck this guy.

As the fall became winter, I became more and more obsessed with her and her routine. I even started feeling bad for her. I figured the divorce was difficult and maybe she didn’t have anyone around here to support.
