Those Memories Made on Teardrop Lake – (65) An Indifferent Maiden in Distress

 

It was in the early nineties when Eleanor Gallaher knocked on the door of number 35 Finchbottom Road, which was the Shallowfield home of Gregory and Amanda George, and had been for 15 years, ever since they were married. 

It was a house that was very well known to Eleanor as she had been friends with Amanda for about 8 years despite being ten years younger. 

“Is Amanda in?” she asked urgently when Greg had opened the door, although she already knew the answer, before she asked the question, but he wasn’t to know that at the time.

Eleanor was pretty, but not beautiful with a long face, a big toothy smile and long wavy straw coloured hair and she stood around five foot three in her flip flops.

As was the fashion of the time she was wearing knee length denim dungarees over a white t-shirt.

“I’m afraid not Ellie she’s gone to Abbottsford so I’m not expecting her back until late”

He replied and to his great surprise tears started to well up in her eyes and then they ran down her cheeks as she sobbed.

Greg in an act of chivalry stepped into action and put his arm around her and guided her into the hall away from prying eyes.

He stood and comfort her without speaking when she said

“I’m sorry” and buried her tearstained face in his neck.

He made encouraging noises and stroked her back but being a shoulder to cry on, was the full extent of his expertise with crying women, even pretty young women that he had feelings for, and Ellie certainly fit the bill to a tee.

Not that he could or would have done anything about it, even though his marriage was in its death throws.

He and Amanda were only together for two reasons one was that she was catholic and didn’t believe in divorce and the other one was laziness, it had become easier to maintain the status quo and stay together and live separate lives than to take decisive action to get on with their lives.

Greg held Ellie for some time until her sobs began to get shallower and shallower and eventually abated but still she held on to him very tightly and even began to nuzzle his neck and he could feel her breath on his skin, which was when the beast below his waist began to stir itself.

While still nuzzling his neck her hands began to caress up and down his back until her nuzzles turned to kisses and Greg reciprocated the caresses and in an instant her mouth was on his, and he tasted her soft lips, and hot mouth.

Ellie’s hands began to claw at his shirt, dragging it free from the waistband of his jeans and when she had succeeded, her trembling hands were on his flesh and she sighed and exhaled through her nose.

 

The kissing and the caressing finally gave way to pure lust and culminated in them making love in the in the spare room. 

The reason for her distress was revealed to be that she had been dumped by her boyfriend, but the reason for the love making was the fact they had fancied each other almost from the first time they met.

A brief affair followed that first afternoon of fulfilling lust but Eleanor called a halt to it when she started dating a lad called Kevin and said

“Her boyfriend wouldn’t like it”.

Greg wasn’t happy about it because his feelings for her had deepened but what could he do, he had to respect her decision.

 

Subsequent visits and tales of woe brought Eleanor to his door, some were truthful and some were fabricated just because she was lonely.

He wasn’t really too concerned what the reason was he was just pleased to her.

Although they invariably had sex on her visits to the house while Amanda was away, on whatever pretext, sometimes they just kissed and cuddled, but to be with him was her primary reason for going there, however when Amanda was at home they always acted with complete indifference toward each other and their smoke screen clearly worked as Amanda would always apologize to him for inviting her or thank him for putting up with her.

 

However on one particular occasion he found it difficult to maintain his unfeeling stance, in fact he couldn’t keep his hand off Ellie.

It was Amanda’s birthday and they had a BBQ in the garden with around 30 guests, one of whom was Eleanor.

As was her custom at the time she was wearing knee length denim dungarees, pale blue with a fine white vertical pinstripe over a bright red cropped t-shirt and when he spied through the side slit he could see a tantalizing expanse of naked flesh and a glimpse of her knickers.

But it was her lovely smile which got his heart racing.

 

He stood for a moment admiring her tidy little derriere, as she bent over the freezer and as she stood up from her task he went to squeeze her cheek, but alas she was too quick for him and side stepped his attack.

“Will you behave” she said “Amanda will see”

“Amanda is pissed” he replied

“Amanda is merry and still sober enough to notice you groping her friend” she replied but smiled a toothy smile.

 

About half an hour later he was staring through the kitchen window watching his quarry as she bent over picking up a black sack full of rubbish and her dungaree’s stretched tight across her well-defined little buttocks so he slipped quietly into the room and when he was right behind her he successfully squeezed one tender cheek.

“Don’t you ever give up?” She said and slapped him hard on the arm.

“Oh go on just one more squeeze” he pleaded

“Honestly I don’t know what’s gotten into you today” she said with a chuckle

“I know what I want to get into you” he replied with a leer.

Ellie shook her head and frowned as she left the kitchen and a moment later Amanda appeared from the opposite direction.

“I wish you two could learn to get on” she said

“I know love” he said “I am trying to get on with her”

 

When the time came for the birthday cake everyone was crowding around the birthday girl and Eleanor was at the back of the group standing on tiptoe trying to get a better look when Greg crept up behind her and put both hands on her bum.

“Stop it” she said and pushed him away.

 

But minutes later he tried the very same move again

“Stop groping my bum” she whispered

“Well stop looking so horny then and then I won’t want to” he whispered back

Ellie stood and looked at him for a second as the crowd moved back out into the garden and then she slipped into the downstairs toilet.

 

Greg was sitting at the kitchen table when Ellie returned and she looked at him to make sure she had his attention as she stood in the doorway where only he could see her then she turned around and wiggled her bum at him provocatively, Greg stared open mouthed and then when she had finished she walked into the kitchen and gave him a filthy leer just as Amanda walked in

“Oh for God’s sake are you two still winding each other up” she barked and went back outside.

 

“I’d better go” Ellie said

“And I think you had better come with me” he said and took her hand and pulled her into the downstairs loo

“What are you doing?” she said

“What I’ve wanted to do all day” he replied and kissed her

 

Greg was sitting on the toilet with Ellie sitting on his knee as they kissed and when it was over he said

“That’s better”

“So have you finished with your bit on the side?” she asked as she stood up

“What do you mean?”

“Well that’s what I am” she said

“And I want more”

“What, your Mr Right you mean?”  

“No, I don’t mean that” she snapped

 “I’m not looking for Mr Right anymore”

“Really?” he said “Why not?”

“Because I’ve already found him”

“Oh” Greg said crestfallen

“And I’ve just been kissing him”

“Do you mean it?” he asked daring to hope

“Yes” she replied and buried her face in his chest

“Then we need to talk about it seriously, today” he said and kissed the top of her head

“But how can we?” she asked despairingly

“Well if you were to get a migraine then we can” he replied but she just looked at him blankly so he explained his plan.

 

So ten minutes later he was sitting in the kitchen again when Amanda walked unsteadily in from the garden and slurred

“I know you don’t like her Greg but could you please be a dear and take Eleanor home, she has a migraine”

“Of course” he replied

 

So he agreed to take Ellie home but he didn’t take her straight home, instead he drove her up to Teardrop Lake where they spent the next two hours discussing their future together.

 

Their biggest hurdle was telling Amanda, which they decided they shouldn’t do on her birthday, so they left it until the following weekend and the news was greeted with hugs and kisses because she had met someone on one of her trips to Sunderland and she had been trying to work up the courage to tell him for over a year.

So they were both able to start new lives.
