?Davy was extra helpful thru dinner, leaping up to serve all the ladies, keeping our wine glasses full for some reason and slyly looking down all our ...louses. Even Betty seemed to be getting wound up and bacchic; she let her skirt climb a few inches up her pretty thighs and allowed the slit to fall away and expose more bare skin to my dazzled son and husband.After our flirty Valentine's Day dinner, we took our drinks to the family room and left our inhibitions behind. Our men sat opposite us. "But how is it that you have not changed a bit? You are still as lovely and young as you were the last time I saw you nearly twenty years ago."Deirdre laughed. "Why Georges you charmer!" She tucked her arm inside his. "Flattery will get you everywhere you know."He gave a deep chuckle. "I hope so my Deirdre, I hope so."The two former comrades in arms spent a lovely afternoon together. They shopped, they walked, they visited places that had been familiar to them twenty and shook their heads at. I demurred and blushed a little before smiling back. I think it was then that I first fully appreciated the intensity of the attraction I felt for him (and what he might have felt for me, unless I was completely deluding myself) despite the untenable situation, that was, my marriage, my children, and James's age.Our meetings finished for the day by early afternoon. I told myself that under no circumstances would I initiate anything further, so was both excited and anxious when James invited me. She said, “mannn! Unbelievable. Have you never even made out with anyone” and I was like “nope. I know. I’m pathetic. But things just havent worked out ok.” By now, she sensed that I was starting to get upset and said “don’t worry, you are good looking and you seem like a good guy. I am sure things are gonna change pretty soon.” I was kinda back to normal now so I said, “ok, sorry I reacted that way and said I’ve got to go sleep now. Good night.” and turned to the other side to try and get some.
