That weekend Lisa and I were in the water even before Dad unpacked the car. She stayed near the shore, but I swam out past a deep spot to a sandbar wh...re I could stand upright with the water reaching just to my upper chest. The waves that day were not too large, but still they persistently pushed at me from behind as I faced the shore, almost lifting my feet from the sand below. No one on the strand could tell what I was doing out there. No one could know that I had pulled down my swim trunks. Tell us how you got to the point where you wanted to try swinging when we offered."Carly stopped bouncing up and down on Roger and started in, "Well you know we've been married 20 years. I suppose things were getting boring. A couple of years ago, I'd been kinda hitting it off with a guy in the garden club. Alex is his name. We'd be crawling around in the dirt with everybody else planting bulbs and such by the library or wherever." Hitting it off? I'd call it flirting," Norm added even though. “I’m bored.” she said, “Can I come in for a cup of Tea?”“Of course you can,” I replied. She came in and I closed the front door.It was a nice cool day and Maya was looking great wearing a simple plain white tee shirt over a smartly tailored cotton skirt with flip-flops on her feet. We went into the kitchen and I took out the vessel to make tea.“I’ve got to be honest with you,” said Maya “I don’t really want Tea.”“That’s OK,” I replied, “I can make tea.”“I don’t want tea,” she said again“What do. Holding her next to me now, we kissed a little more and apprehensively let go to gather ourselves together, realizing we were still in public. Once we had our shit together, literally and figuratively, we walked calmly towards the register to purchase the few “gently used” items. At the counter, I felt like all eyes were on us and I know Nor felt the same, barely holding her head up or looking myself or the cashier in the eye. But she was standing exceptionally close to me, which I enjoyed. .
