"Wow, if that's a line it's a damn good one. Are you for real? "

"Definitely, I've been running around the ship for a week looking for you. I've been divorced for more than a year now. There has been no connection with the women I've met on this trip until I felt the magic between us. I hope I'm not coming on too strong, but that's how I feel."

"What do you mean, looking for me?"

"I mean you're special. I felt it as soon as I saw you."

"If you don't mind me asking, what happened to your marriage?"

"I take loyalty and honesty seriously. My ex didn't feel the same way. I don't think I ever really trusted her even though I loved her. She cheated on me with an old boyfriend and tried to keep both of us. She should have known that would never work with me. How about you? What brought you on this cruise?"

"I'm divorced also. I was married for five years to a man very much like your ex wife. The only good thing to come out of it is my daughter, Sheila. She's two and cute as a button. My mother is taking care of her. When I get back, I'm looking to relocate to another state. I was hoping that getting away for a while would clear my head while I make a plan for our future."

"Maybe I can help. What kind of work do you do?"

"I'm a CPA. I like the company I work for, but like I said, I need to start fresh."

I gave her my business card. "I have some influence in the company I work for. Would you consider coming to Florida for an interview? I know we could find a place for an intelligent talented lady like you."

After that conversation, we spent the rest of the cruise spending every available moment together. I missed her those brief times that she was not with me. My body ached for her, but I wanted her to know that I was willing to get to know her and have her know me. It was no doubt in my mind that when we did make love, it would be worth the wait. I felt at peace in her presence. Just talking to her brought out the best in me.

Brenda Sue and her daughter did come to Florida. When she came in for the interview, she was surprised to find out I would be the one responsible for hiring her. The first words out of my mouth were, "I've missed you. What took you so long?"

"I've missed you too, Jerry, more than you can imagine. " she answered and flashed the smile I loved so much.

We started dating and three months later we were engaged. I Loved her and her precious daughter. She looked just like her mother. Her eyes were green with her mother's raven hair. After a few weeks, she started calling me da da. I finally had the family I'd always dreamed of.

One night after we had just finished a mind bending love making session, we were snuggling, trying to catch our breath, when my phone rang. It was Shay. "Jerry, I'm sorry to bother you, but I need your advise."

"What's the matter? Lover boy is not home again tonight?"

"Oh, Jerry. I made a big mistake when I cheated on you. I'm so sorry. He's drained my bank account and he's never here. He convinced me to take a second mortgage on the house for some kind of investment and the money has disappeared. I'm afraid that I'm going to lose the house. Lately, he's gotten abusive and I'm afraid he's going to hurt me. What am I going to do? You were always good at dealing with problems." She started crying. I could feel no sympathy for her. At one time, her tears would have pained my soul, not anymore.

"I can't believe you're calling me for advise. You sacrificed your marriage for that unemployed piece of trash and broke my heart. Did you really think that boy could take my place and stick with you for better and for worse? I can't help you. You put yourself into this situation and you're going to have to deal with it. I told you before, you're on your own this time. You were right when you said he's everything I'm not, goodbye Shay." Brenda Sue smiled at me and we cuddled close. The call was not discussed. She was mine and I was hers, that's all that mattered. We slept well.

she's the one that should have divorced him. he's a pos and was a pos to her before she did anything. he's a worthless sob.

Odd. Both with jobs, equal pay so no alimony and no kids. So why does she get the house? Almost always in such a situation, she would have to pay for his half of the equity or they sell and split. That seems weird. And Shay was surprisingly good at saying exactly the wrong thing for reconciliation. Besides if the guy was an old boyfriend there were no signs whatsoever of this asshole's slick maneuvers with money or violence? No signs of greed or rage? She is only 28 and the asshole 25 when the story began. So were they lovers in college? But then she is 3 years older. Not unheard of but not common (senior dating a freshman). If after college, woukd suspect some of his behavioral patterns would have shown up. Surprised he didn't do something with the asshole. He is an ex-Marine.

Btw it’s heartening to see writers pushing back for a newbie to this shark tank we call LW

Well said below !!! I stand with you!! Having been here for over 14 years I have read all manner of reader pond scum tearing apart talent solely based on their jealousy of not having any talent whatsoever. It’s the age old adage my Dad always told us kids. “There are two categories of Humans, builders and destroyers, which one do you want to be”.

This Story must be written in the "Loving Wives" cat because almost all these comments seem to come from such sanctimonious bastards who think they "Know More" than the writer. Of Course, they are all "Harvard" Grads trying to lecture the rest of us on how to write a proper story. When these asshats should appreciate that we are all getting what we've paid for with these great stories. If it isn't one thing to complain about it is another. By all rights, Lit shouldn't even bother to permit asshat "comments", especially from "NONWRITERS" who have "NO Concept" of what is involved in writing and publishing a story on Literotica. I would guess that the "Editors" on Lit. that read every story to either approve it or deny it has many more guidelines than they say they do and publish. Example: I have a "Feb Sucks" story waiting for approval that I have altered over and over to attempt to get it approved. At the moment, LaValliere, Linda, and Dee are bound and gagged, in a hole in the backyard. Laying in a couple of inches of water and covered by a tarp covered with 3 to 4 inches of dirt. With my goal in mind of "Scaring the Shit" out of these assholes with nightmares for the rest of their lives about being buried alive. STILL NOT approved! LOL, I guess the next option is to "Just write them a letter, and tell LaValliere, Linda, and Dee how upset Jim is by Linda's night of debauchery with LaValliere. LOL (Team America reference) This story was a lot of work to put together. So many morons have NO concept of what it takes, to come up with the storyline, and idea, then to check to be sure all the important parts of the plot were written, double check spelling, and size of paragraphs. Double-check the plot a final time and then "submit" to Literotica. The fact that so many of us, happily, volunteer our time and energy to make this website successful is AMAZING if nothing else. We wouldn't have this wonderful place to spend our time on if it wasn't for the Head Guys (Manu and Laurel?) whose site this is, hadn't put in countless hours of hard work and who knows how much heartache to make this place successful. Just to have all the hard work by the countless writers who derive some sense of satisfaction from getting a story published, being a work of 50+ hours, constantly complained about, is disgusting and disheartening. We all have a past. It is a fact, that "practice makes perfect" and someone who has spent his life in more "street fights" than the next 100 people that you know, without being in prison at the moment, has a unique perspective on how to settle things violently. I have to tell you, during a disagreement, that when you are putting severe pressure on someone else's sensitive part of their body, that they will tend to shorten their argument with you. 10 stars for an interesting story. I liked the happy ending when the MC found his true love on the 3rd attempt. If we could all be so lucky and fortunate it would be a much happier world. Thanks, Buster2U

I think I would have helped her, just for access to get revenge on the dirtbag boyfriend.

Sorry but the ending was what should've happened after her disrespect. Most writers would've had him help her out but glad he didn't. U reap what u sow bitch and goes to show u that she still only thought about herself.

A couple of nitpicks. When he's splitting with Shay, you have him say "they'll be no alimony'. They'll is short for they will. So 'they will be no alimony' is how it would come out. Read it out loud. Does that sound right? No, because it should be 'there will be no alimony' or 'there'll be no alimony'. Second, it's advice, not advise. When you advise someone, you give them advice. Makes a big difference.

Introduced, developed and summarized in 2 pages. Now that’s a professional writer having a little fun in his/her sandbox.
