It Is What It Is

Well she finally talked me into it because I really wanted to see the game, plus I could use some company tonight. Everyone was going to meet at their apartment at 4 o'clock, then the kids would go in one car, and Annie and I would go in my car. The game was at 7, so we were going to tailgate awhile before the game.

Ashley and John's dates arrived first, and both seemed like pretty nice kids. They were all definitely fired up for the game. Then Annie drove up and knocked on the door. When she walked in I had to do a double take. She was incredibly beautiful. She had long blond hair that gave her a goddess look. She was about the same height as me, almost 6 foot tall. She had long slender legs, incredible tits, and a body to die for. She had a very pretty face. There was nothing on this lady that didn't seem perfect. I thought to myself, who in the hell would ever divorce this woman.

Ashley introduced us. I'm not sure what I said, but everyone laughed, including Annie.

Ashley came over and said, "Dad, I think Mom is really going to regret what she did today. In more ways than one, and to be honest, she deserves it."

With that she looked at Annie, and then back at me, and gave me a wink.

Annie and I drove to the stadium in my car. I decided I needed to tell her everything, so I did. When I finished she said, "Jake I am so sorry. I don't know why some people think the grass is always greener somewhere else. The exact same thing happened to me last year. Just out of the blue, there was someone else."

"Annie? If I were lucky enough to have someone as beautiful as you, I would never let you go."

"That's sweet Jake. To be honest, I don't see how any woman in her right mind would give you up. You are very handsome, and from what I can tell so far, a pretty nice guy."

Yes I think I am really going to enjoy this game. And we did.

Annie and I hit it off so well it was kind of freaky. I was a country boy, she was a country girl. We both grew up on farms. She was a barrel racer in the rodeo. She loved country music, and country dancing. Her goal was to move back to the country when she could. She was still living in the house her husband had wanted, but she got it in the divorce. I almost proposed to her at the game.

After the game we drove to a little bar to have a drink. There was a band playing and we danced the 2 step until about midnight. I was having so much fun with Annie.

We got back to the apartment and I dropped her off at her car. I thanked her for an incredible evening and gave her a little kiss. Then she kissed me back.

"Look Annie," I said, "I am going to be busy this week getting this divorce going, but I would like to go out with you next Saturday night. Maybe we have go have dinner, then maybe do some more dancing."

"I would love to," she said.

She gave me her cell number, and I gave her mine. "Call me this week and let me know how it is going," she said. "Maybe I can give you some advice."

"You got it," I said.

I walked in the apartment and John and Ashley were sitting on the couch grinning from ear to ear.

"So Dad, how did it go with Annie," she said. They both started giggling.

"We had a good time. Thank you for inviting her." They giggled again.

I just shook my head and pulled out my blow up mattress so I could get to bed. I slept very well that night.

The next morning Annie called and wanted to know if we wanted to go to church with her and Brenda. Ashley and John were game, and so was I. So we went to church, then out to eat lunch. I stayed and talked with Annie until about 4 o'clock, then headed home. Surely Lori would have her stuff out by now.

On the drive home my phone rang, it was Lori.

"Hi Jake. I just wanted to let you know that I have my stuff out of the house. Are you ok Jake?"

"As well as can be expected under the circumstances Lori. Did your boy toy fuck your brains out last night?

"Don't be like that Jake. I am so very sorry, but this is just something I had to do. I needed this change."

"Yea, it has always been about what you want Lori. You are so selfish. It is always about what make YOU happy."

"That's not true Jake. I do still love you, and care about you."

"Well you sure have a funny way of showing it," I said.

"I will find a lawyer tomorrow and make an appointment. We need to get all this behind us. I will check with you before I make the appointment. Be careful Lori, and I hope you find whatever it is your looking for."

"Goodbye Jake. I am sorry."

I didn't say anything else. I just hung up.

The next day I found a good family lawyer. I called Lori to get her approval and she agreed. I made an appointment for Tuesday after school. That night I called Annie. I was feeling depressed, but we talked for about an hour and I felt much better.

We met with the lawyer Tuesday. It would be a no fault divorce. We agreed to split everything. She would keep what she had, and I would keep mine. The mutual fund would be sold and split equally. This would be about 50,000 each. Lori agreed to give me the house. I guess she was feeling guilty. I would make all payments and pay all bills on the house. We had separate insurance on everything, so that stayed the same. The lawyer was amazed at how easy it was. It saved us a lot in legal fees. The lawyer said the papers would be ready to sign on Friday. We could stop by anytime, and didn't have to do it together.

On Thursday I stopped at a Chevrolet dealer and traded my car for a new Chevy Silverado 4 wheel drive truck. It felt good to be driving a truck again.

I called Annie and told her. She said she couldn't wait to see it. She asked me to come eat supper with her Friday night, and then we could drive it around. I was ready for the weekend. School would be out, and I was going dancing.

I called Ashley and John to see if it was ok if I stayed with them again this weekend.

"Dad, you can stay with us anytime you want. After all, you are paying for this apartment," they said.

School was out early on Friday since it was the last day. I went straight to the lawyer's office and signed the papers. I had already packed my bag in my truck, so I headed to Austin. I arrived at my kid's apartment at about 4:30. We talked awhile about everything.

They said Lori had been to visit them this week. I asked if she brought Mark along.

Ashley said, "Yes, she did. On the outside he seemed pretty nice, and was very charming, but I could tell he was just using Mom. He will eventually dump her Dad, and she is going to get hurt."

"I tried to tell her that, but she insist they were meant to be, and that they were soul mates."

"He was very good looking, and he seemed very attentive to Mom. I still don't trust him though," Ashley said.

"I hate him," John said. "How could Mom be so stupid. Dad, you have always been a great father and husband. We always had everything we needed from you. You treated Mom like a queen. You are my hero Dad. Ashley and I love you more than anything in this world."

They both came over and gave me a big hug as I fought back the tears. I told them how much I loved them, and how I would always be there for them.

Then Ashley asked me, "Dad, do you still love Mom?"

"Yes I do honey. You don't spend 25 years loving someone and have it go away overnight. I think I will always have love for her."

I had supper with Annie, then we went for a drive in my new truck. She loved it. We went back to her house and opened a bottle of wine. We sat on the porch and talked until the wine was gone. I kissed her good night and told her how much I was looking forward to dinner and dancing.

She told me I better get ready because, "she was going to 2 step my ass off."

Over the next few weeks Annie and I spent a lot of time together. We had some pretty heavy petting sessions, but I told her I wanted to wait until my divorce was final to have sex. I was determined not to break my wedding vows. We made plans to go to Las Vegas the day my divorce was final. The divorce would become final on July 28.

I also made some other plans. I decided to sell the house when it officially became mine. I would use the money I made on it to buy a place in the country. I will put up a log cabin, and will raise some horses.

July 28th came pretty quick. Lori sent me a text that morning which said," I guess that's it."

I sent one back that said, "yep, I reckon it is."

That afternoon Annie and I flew to Vegas. We checked in at Ceasar's and immediately went to our room. We peeled off our clothes and jumped into the shower together.

She took one look at my cock and said, "how in the hell could Lori give that up. I have never seen such a beautiful cock. My husband Larry was about 4 inches and not very thick. You have to be almost 8 inches with the right amount of thickness."

Of course I was really at attention being in the shower with Annie. She looked like a goddess. Her long blond hair, long legs, slender body, and a great set of tits. Plus her gorgeous face.

Our shower was very sensual. I thought I was going to shoot my wad on the shower wall as she soaped up my dick. She did have an orgasm as I washed her pussy. She had shaved all but a little bit of hair. I was really looking forward to tasting her, and then feeling myself inside her.

We dried off and got on the bed. There was a closet with mirrors on the outside so we could see ourselves. She immediately went down on my dick. She took it all. She definitely knew how to please me. She even used the tip of her tongue on that sensitive area underneath the head. She said I could come in her mouth, but I wanted to come inside her our first time. By the way, Lori would never let me come in her mouth.

After a few more minutes, I crawled between her legs and buried my tongue in her. She was extremely wet. She tasted so good. She grabbed the back of my head and held me in her pussy. I used my tongue on her sweet spot and soon had her screaming from her orgasm. She said it was the most intense orgasm she ever had. She had another before I finished.

I moved up her body and began to kiss her. She took my dick and guided it inside her. I took it slow so she could feel every inch. She spread her legs so she could take all of me. Once I was in she wrapped her long legs around me. I took it real slow at first. I wanted to last as long as I could. It wasn't long before she exploded. She dug her fingernails in my back and started bucking, telling me to go faster. She had another orgasm just as I exploded inside her. More than two months of built up sexual frustration was released in her pussy.

We rested awhile, then she rode me cowgirl style. We rested some more, then she sucked me until I came in her mouth.

We ate, we drank, we gambled, and we made love over the next 4 days. We made lots and lots of love.

When we got back home my real estate agent told me she had a cash buyer for the house. We could move real quick on it if I wanted to. She also had found a nice little 15 acre ranch about half way between here and Austin. It had a horse barn, a water well, a nice pasture, and a great place for a house. I looked at it, and it was perfect.

I closed on the house and used the money I made to put a down payment on the land. I then arranged for a contractor to put up the log cabin. He said he could build it pretty quick because they were sold as kits.

I went to Austin to see Annie. I had been staying there quite a bit lately. I told her I had something important to discuss with her. I walked in and led her to the couch.

"Annie, I have something important to ask you. They will soon be starting on the construction of my log cabin. When it is finished, I want you to move in with me. If it works out, and I'm pretty sure it will, I want you to marry me. I love you very much Annie."

She smiled at me for a minute and then she spoke. "Jake, on the outside you are this rugged, macho, good looking hunk of a man. On the inside you are a kind, tender, warm hearted, and a gentle loving human being. I would love to move in with you, and if I it works out, I will marry you. I love you with all my heart Jake."

We agreed that when I vacated my house, I would move in with her until our cabin was ready. Ashley and John would move in with Brenda when we left. They would share the house while they went to college. I offered to pay Annie rent, but she refused, saying that living with me was a trade off.

A few days later I was finishing up cleaning out the house. I already had what I needed at Annie's house. I got a call from Lori. I had not heard from or seen her in quite awhile. She did not sound good and wanted to talk face to face. She asked if I could stop by her apartment this afternoon. I told her not if her boy toy was there. She said he would not be there.

She gave me the address and I told her I was on my way. I could not imagine what she wanted, but I had an idea.

When she answered the door I was a little shocked. She had gained some weight and did not look good. Her eyes were puffy from crying. We sat on the couch and she spoke in a soft quivering voice.

"Jake, I made a huge mistake when I left you. I don't know what I was thinking. It was the dumbest thing I have ever done in my life. You were the best thing that ever happened to me and I let some little prick dupe me into thinking I was better off with him. I am so ashamed of what I did to you and to our family. He wasn't near the lover you are. In fact all he ever did was just fuck me. He never made love to me."

She broke down and started crying. I didn't say anything yet, I just let her cry.

She went on, "I know I hurt you Jake, but I was wondering if there was any chance you would take me back. I still love you."

"Where is Mark?" I asked.

"He left me two days ago. He said it had been fun, but he needed to move on. He said he never wanted to see me again."

I thought for a minute, then I gave her my answer.

"Lori, I loved you with all my heart, and then you broke that heart. That morning you left was like I had been run over with a truck. I wanted to grow old with you. I wanted to sit by you and hold your hand when our kids got married. I wanted to stand beside you as we held our grandkids for the first time, or took them to play in the park. I wanted to be buried next to you so we could be side by side for eternity. You didn't want that. You wanted a change. You wanted someone different. I gave you a chance before you left. I was willing to try and work it out. You just walked out the door. You closed the door Lori. I accepted it, and now so must you.

It is what it is Lori."

I got up and walked out the door. I could hear her crying as I left. I also heard one last time, "I am so sorry Jake."

Epilogue:

We started back to school and of course it was a busy time. Lori and I moved into our beautiful log cabin towards the end of September. We bought some horses and lived the good peaceful farm life. We still go dancing every chance we get. The love we have for each other grows stronger by the day. We got married the following March during Spring Break. For our honeymoon we took a Mediterranean cruise. It was a repeat of Vegas, only more so. Lori became depressed and had to get counseling. She eventually came out of it and accepted everything. She still hasn't remarried but I'm sure she will eventually find someone. The Thanksgiving after Annie and I married, Ashley, John, and Brenda were coming to our house for a good old fashion country Thanksgiving dinner. I called Lori and invited her since the kids would be there. Annie even suggested it. It was very pleasant, and she even commented on how peaceful and beautiful it was at our farm. She called later to thank me, and said it had meant so much to her.

All I can say is that I am very happy, because, it is what it is.
