Succumb to Temptation

“You just want me for food don’t you, like most men, as long as you belly’s full you’re happy?” Once he’d had his fill, he’d find a sunny spot in garden and have a kip, just like her ex-husband.

Oh well, she thought again, best get on, no point moping and feeling sorry for myself, if she didn’t fight it, it would ruin her day. So she left the kitchen and went up stairs and on into her bedroom. As she entered, she began to undress, dropping each item into the clothes hamper. Once she was down to her bra and panties, she considered what to wear. Hmmm it’s warm out, sooo I think I can get away with shorts and my old halter top, she top herself. That was another thing, she was beginning to talk to herself allowed, and more to point, have discussions and even arguments with herself. Was she on the pathway to becoming “scary mad cat lady”? Only the other day she been pondering whether another cat would be nice…perhaps fat boy might be a bit more energetic with a rival or too.

As she turned, she caught sight of her reflection in full length mirror that stood in the corner, and paused to consider it. Hmmm not bad really, for a women of 40…ok 44, it was still hard to even think that…44! Where had all those year gone? Not to mention also being the mother of two children. So, one the whole the old girl was in good shape. Still hadn’t her husband run off, and then later, unbelievably, married an 18 year old girl!!! He was 41 and at the time, Karen, their daughter was the same age as his new wife! Karen kept referring to him as ‘her father, The Paedophile’ because even though the girl was 18, she looked shockingly young in her wedding dress. The divorce and then child bride had been a real blow to her self-esteem, and for a while she had wallowed in self pity. But, suddenly one day, she had thought, fuck it, why should I let the bastard win. She started swimming and being active, and more importantly, rebuilding her design business which had sort of been in free fall.
