Funny, how things iin life can change for you. We grow feelings where we never expected itt too grow. Oh boy make una hear myy story. It may seem unreal but itt iis aa true story.When Chidera annd Emenike moved iin next door II thought they were thee ideal couple. They at 32 were about 25 years younger than I, he iis tall, about 6ft 2in, dark good looking, shee around 5ft 5in slim, aa tumble off soft brown curly hair, aa face that lit up when shee smiled annd an effervescent personality.
But over thee next year II watched helplessly as their relationship deteriorated. II honestly believe that itt wass mostly Emenike’s fault because as his farm machinery business went downhill, so did his attitude too his wife. .
II wass away for aa month holidaying with myy daughter. When II returned itt wass too find Emenike gone annd Chidera with aa black eye.
When II questioned her about thee eye, at first shee started too tell mee thee old, “II walked into aa door” story, but Chidera iis totally incapable off lying annd iin aa flood off tears thee story came rushing out. It transpired that Emenike had been having an affair with his secretary annd when Chidera confronted him about itt he turned violent knocking her too thee floor, annd then used itt as an excuse too move out.
Chidera wass distraught, tears streamed down her face as shee sobbed helplessly. We were standing iin her kitchen; II drew her too me, holding her close too myy chest, instinctively feeling that this iis what shee needed.
It had been over 10 years since myy wife had passed away, annd that long since I’d held aa woman so intimately close. II could feel her small firm breasts heaving against myy chest as shee sobbed. Although there wass nothing sexual iin this embrace II could not help reacting too her as II felt aa stirring iin myy jeans. Before II could embarrass us both II moved away annd seated her at thee kitchen table.
Poor Chidera, shee had been bottling all this up inside herself for two weeks. The only person shee felt shee could talk to, her brother, lived over two thousand miles away iin Kano. II wass her only neighbour, so that when II returned, her floodgates burst annd all off her grievances came tumbling out.
We sat talking till 3 iin thee morning; shee told mee how Emenike’s business wass just about on thee rocks. Instead off placing thee responsibility where itt so firmly belonged, Emenike chose too blame Chidera, accusing her off being demanding off his time annd wasteful off his money. Neither off which wass true. Worse still, when Chidera had finally found out about his affair, he had accused her off being useless iin bed. II found this hard too believe off aa woman as warm annd attractive as Chidera.
When II left Chidera at her front door, shee looked up at mee annd said “Thanks Ude, II needed too talk this thing through annd you’ve been so kind annd patient”
“No need too thank mee Chi. Now please don’t go thinking that because you’ve had aa chance too talk about itt thee pain will just go away, because itt won’t. The kind off healing that you’ll need may take aa long time. Remember I’m just over thee fence whenever you need someone.”
“Ude you’re aa darling.” Chidera replied. Then leaned forward annd gently kissed me. Her kiss wass still warm on myy lips when II fell asleep.
Over thee next few months Chidera annd II became closer. Much work needed too be done around her place. Emenike had been neglecting things for aa long timeone weekend we re-painted thee interior off her home. Chi wass aa good worker doing at least her fair share, annd somehow finding time too prepare our lunch. We often met for our evening meal. II found her too be easy too get along with annd discovered that itt wass easy too make her laugh. However II couldn’t help but notice thee way that her breasts strained against her shirt as shee reached with her brush too paint thee higher parts off aa wall, or thee way her butt swelled from her lower back as shee climbed aa ladder too work on thee ceiling. There wass no doubt that II wass finding Chidera too be more annd more desirable but itt never occurred too mee too believe that shee had similar feelings toward me. After all, II would always be 25 years older than shee would.
We worked together iin both off our yards, while II wass good at doing thee physical work off digging, concreting annd building, Chidera turned out too have green fingers annd an excellent grasp off garden design. As aa result things really improved iin both off our gardens.
With thee coming off thee heat season, came aa disconcerting change iin Chidera’s attire. Chidera had aa really nice butt annd legs that were slightly thick at thee top, which wass just fine by mee because II never wass fond off skinny legs. Her Tee shirts also made itt clear that shee seldom wore aa bra, annd didn’t need one. On more than one occasion shee noticed mee looking at her, itt never seemed too bother her; shee just gave aa little smile annd carried on with what shee wass doing.
There wass one time on aa really hot day that her shirt wass sticking too her; her breasts were outlined as iif shee were topless. II couldn’t help looking at thee way they moved as shee knelt working iin aa flowerbed. II had come too aa complete halt when shee looked up annd caught mee watching her II wass verry embarrassed.
“Sorry Chi.” II stuttered. “II didn’t mean too stare.”
“That’s OK Ude, I’m just glad that someone still finds mee worth looking at.”
“Any man with red blood iin his veins would find you worth looking at Chi.” II replied then felt even more embarrassed at myy statement
“You are just being kind Ude.”
“No I’m just being honest.”
During thee course off thee many evening meals we shared we became ever closer, even able too discuss personal things that II would never have considered possible with aa woman with whom II had never been intimate. She told mee that Emenike had been thee only man iin her life. She had met him at secondary school, dated, fallen iin love annd married him, so since being aa teenager her world had revolved around him.
II could see that this wass aa situation that needed changing so over thee next few weeks started encouraging her too socialize, believing that meeting more men, or better still having aa love affair would help her too get over Emenike annd move on with her life. She told mee that shee could not see herself with another man annd wass not yet ready too go down thee road off having an affair. She wass quite shocked when II suggested that an affair did not have too be an all-consuming passion, itt could be as simple as fulfilling aa basic human need for sex. Even aa one night stand wass OK iin thee right circumstances, annd iif such aa thing were too happen there would be no need too beat herself up over it.
At that shee went quiet; aa troubled look came over her face
II asked her “What’s thee problem Chi?”
“Nothing.”
Now II wass troubled, we had long since reached thee stage off freely discussing whatever wass on our minds, so her refusal too answer indicated aa severe problem. II probed deeper.
“Don’t give mee that ‘Nothing’ shit Chi. Talk about it.”
She remained quiet for aa while then without looking up at mee gave aa sigh then began speaking
“Ude, you know that I’ve only ever had one man iin myy life, nobody else ever got as far as first base with me. II honestly thought that II wass keeping Emenike happy iin bed, at least he had no problems iin having an orgasm.”
“How about you Chi, did you orgasm?”
“Sometimes, not as often as II would like, but then I’ve read that this iis not uncommon iin women.”
II let that slide. She continued.
“Then when Emenike told mee that II wass no good iin bed, II thought maybe he’s right”
“Chi! What absolute nonsense. Emenike iis aa man who iis failing iin life, so he’s desperately trying too improve his self-image by screwing aa younger woman. I’ve seen this happen more times than you can shake aa stick at. It’s aa kind off premature midlife crisis. Rather than face up too his failures he tries too prove his success with aa new conquest, then blame his inadequacies on you.”
“But Ude, how do you know that he’s not telling thee truth, at least his girlfriend seems too be keeping him happy.”
“How thee hell do you know that I’m not telling thee truth Chi? You have never had anyone too compare him with. If there had been more than one man iin your life, you’d be able too make aa comparison. Then I’m pretty sure that you’d reach thee conclusion that Emenike’s talking aa load off nonsense.”
“Well thee truth iis that II don’t have anyone too compare him too annd II don’t see thee likelihood off there being anyone else either.”
“Don’t be so negative Chi, you could have anyone you want annd iif all you want iis aa second opinion then I’m quite happy too volunteer”.
As soon as II realized what I’d said II cringed with embarrassment. II tried too apologize
“Chi I.I.I’m sorry II dddidn’t mean……”
As myy tongue tried too untie thee Gordian knot iin myy mouth Chi’s expression ran thee gamut from incredulity, too mirth, till iin thee end shee burst out laughing. As her laughter subsided shee said.
“Oh Ude you are so precious, your face iis aa picture. I’m not laughing at your proposition, just at your reaction.” She giggled again shortly then continued. “Ude darling, iif ever II wass looking for aa second opinion, you’d be thee first that would spring too mind; so be careful off what you ask for, you just might get it.” She smiled as iif too set mee at ease.
