“That’s right, “she replied “now I remember you.” And she shook his hand. “This is my husband Mark.” Ed shook his hand warmly.
“Nice to meet you. Your wife was very nice to me the short time I was working in her office. She really made me feel welcome there.” Ed said. “You guy’s having a nice weekend here?”
“Yeah we’re celebrating our anniversary,” Mark replied. “It’s been good.” he said.
“Oh! Happy Anniversary!” Tahoe is a great place for a romantic getaway. You’re a lucky man to be married to such a lovely lady.” Ed told him.
“Oh no need to tell me Ed, I know it!” Mark replied. Jenny just stood there quietly, trying not to make eye contact with Ed.
“Hey I’ve taken up to much of your time. I just wanted to say hi to miss Jenny here. You guys have a wonderful evening. And Jenny maybe I’ll get to see you soon.” Ed said.
“Huh, what do you mean?” Jenny asked blushing.
“Oh, maybe your company will hire me again for a software upgrade.” Ed explained slyly. “Anyway, nice meeting you Mark and nice seeing you again, Jenny.” Ed left the store and walked down the street smiling.
“We’ll he seemed like a very nice man.” Mark commented.
“Yeah.” Jenny replied. Feeling absolutely turned on and guilty at the same time. “What is wrong with me? Why did I let him do that?” She wondered.
They left the store and Jenny put the encounter with Ed out of her mind. She was determined to have a nice evening with her husband. They shopped some more and Jenny found souvenirs for the kids. They gambled a little and lost the $100 they had won the previous night.
Mark was feeling much better and they had another nice dinner. No drinking tonight. They caught a comedy show then called it a night. They went upstairs and made love again. The whole time Jenny couldn’t stop thinking about Ed fucking her. She faked another orgasm as Mark came inside her. Mark gave her a kiss and rolled off her. She curled up on her side. Exhausted she fell asleep.
Life once again returned to normal for Jenny and Mark after their anniversary weekend. Mark’s job kept him very busy and he had begun to work later due to staffing shortages. She was still focusing on work. One to help her get that VP promotion and two to help her stop thinking about the encounters with Ed and the homeless man.
Their sex life returned to normal too. Meaning no sex. Jenny just didn’t understand. Even though it wasn’t the best sex ever, it was still good and she enjoyed it. But Mark just seemed disinterested. Even when she tried to initiate some intimacy, he had some excuse. He was tired. He didn’t feel well. The list went on. It was seriously frustrating for Jenny. And the more frustrated she got, the harder it was to ignore those feelings she was suppressing.
Another coping mechanism for a Jenny was running. They lived close to a large park. There was a small golf course, a zoo and other attractions for families. It also made a nice place to run. One lap around the park was 1.5 miles. Jenny would normally do 2-3 laps, her brain able to zone out and not think. Jenny increased her running. She was now running 4-5 times a week. The added benefit was it kept her body in amazing shape. She knew she got lots of looks from men as she ran by in her skimpy running shorts.
A month after their anniversary Jenny got a phone call from Mark at work. ” Hey sweetie, what’s up?” Immediately, she knew something was wrong.
“My dad just had a stoke, he’s at Mercy Hospital, I’m headed there now.”
“Oh my goodness Mark! I’m so sorry. I’ll grab my things and meet you there.”
“Ok thanks honey, See you there.” And he hung up.
Jenny’s mind started to race. She had to let her boss know she was leaving and she had to arrange for someone to watch her kids. She knew it was going to be a long night.
Mark was the spitting image of his father Mike. Except his father was a bit taller and wasn’t fat. He had always been very nice to Jenny. Heck he was even a little flirty. Especially when he had a few drinks in him. She always thought it was cute that he would put his arm around her or give her a kiss on the cheek. She enjoyed the affection he showed her.
She talked to her boss, called a friend to watch the kids and headed out the door to go to the hospital. As she drove out of the parking lot, she froze for a minute. Across the street she saw him. Old Tom, the homeless man that had taken advantage of her. He was pushing a shopping cart. He immediately recognized her Land Cruiser. He smiled and waved. Jenny just sat there. Without a second thought Old Tom unzipped his pants and pulled out his cock. He flapped it around at a Jenny, laughing.
Jenny saw what he was doing and hurriedly drove off towards the hospital. She could see him in the rear view mirror twirling his dick at her. “I can’t believe I sucked his cock.” She thought to herself as she sped off. It was the first time seeing him since that incident. Memories of it came rushing back. She could feel her pussy getting wet. “Just keep driving.”
She arrived at the hospital and went into the waiting room. There she found Mark and his mom. She rushed to him and gave him a hug. “How is he doing?”
“The doctor was just here, he is stable. But it’s unknown how bad it is yet. He was doing yard work and my mom found him on the ground unconscious. So she called 911 and they brought him here.”
Marks mom, Helen began to cry and that made Jenny cry too. “I’m sure he’s going to be fine. They have the best doctors here!”
She said as she gave her a hug too. “We’re going to get through this.”
“Thank you dear, you’re a wonderful daughter in law and a great wife to my son. We’re so lucky to have you.” Jenny just hugged her more. Feeling like garbage for recent events.
Marks father was eventually moved to the ICU. The doctor explained that Mike had a significant stroke and that he may have serious deficits from it if he survived. The family was allowed to now see him. As they entered the room they were shocked at all the tubes and wires on and around him. Helen began to sob and even Mark was crying. The nurse came in and talked to them.
She explained what all the tubes and gadgets were. She also explained that he was in a medically induced coma to help with the swelling in his brain and that hopefully it will go down and he will wake up. They thanked her and she left.
It was getting close to midnight and Mark told Jenny to go home. “There is no use all of us staying here. You might as well go get the kids and get some rest.”
Reluctantly, Jenny agreed. She have Mark a kiss and hugged Helen. “I’ll come by in the morning after I drop off the kids at school.”
“Ok, sounds good babe. Love you.” Mark said as she headed out.
“Love you too.” Jenny replied and walked to her car. She started driving to pick up her kids and realized she would have to drive by the park where Old Tom hangs out. She prayed that she would not see him. She didn’t know what she would do if she did.
As she drove by the park she found herself slowing down and looking for left and right for Tom. Seeing no sign of him she drove away and sighed. She picked up the kids and drove home.
Mark’s dad stayed in the ICU for a week. His brain swelling finally went down and he woke up. The family’s fears were confirmed, his dad had significant deficits from the stroke. He was awake but unable to speak, and his left side was partially paralyzed. The doctor also warned that his personality might be altered. After he was stable he was sent to a rehabilitation facility for a month. He was finally released and sent home 6 weeks after the stroke.
The found soon that his personality had changed. He was quick to anger and grunted his displeasure frequently. He spent most of his time either in bed or in a wheelchair. He needed help bathing and going to the bathroom. Helen, happy to have him home was quickly getting overwhelmed by his needs and his bad behavior. Mark and Jenny were very understanding and offered to help care for him on weekends to give Helen a break. It would mean less time for themselves but it was the right thing to do. Helen happily took them up on their offer.
Initially, Mark went over to help. It was his dad and he felt an obligation to be there, but between his extended work hours and helping with his dad he was getting exhausted. So Jenny took the next weekend to help. She arrived at her in laws house one Saturday morning and found Helen upset and crying and her father in law in his wheelchair grunting angrily. His breakfast on the floor. “I can’t take this anymore Jenny!” He so mean. Nothing makes him happy.” She sobbed.
“Hey Helen. It’s ok I’m here to help. Why don’t you go out for a while and go shopping or something. I’ll take care of Mike. You could use some time out of here.”
Helen smiled and eagerly took her up on the offer. She grabbed her purse and was out the door quickly.”Thank you! I’ll be back this afternoon.”
“Hi Mike, how are we doing today?” Jenny asked her father in law. She got a short grunt in reply. She cleaned up the breakfast mess and did the dishes. Mike watching her closely the whole time.
“What would you like to do Mike? Want to watch TV?” Grunt and shaking his head no. “Want to lie down and rest?” Again shaking his head no. “How about a little walk around the neighborhood?” This got a a smile and a yes nod. “Ok, it’s kinda cool outside so let’s get you a jacket and we’ll go out.”
She got a jacket and started to help him put it on. He couldn’t move the left arm so she put put his arm through the sleeve. She noticed he stared at her breasts the whole time. Men never change she thought. She got his jacket on and off they went. It was a pleasant walk and Mike seemed to really enjoy being in the fresh air.
