A Weekend By The Sea

   Jenny took a long last look at herself in the mirror. She was in her old bedroom at her parents’ house. Jenny had dreamt of this day her whole life. Now she was here; dressed up in a white silk dress. But as she glanced over her pale freckly skin, and her auburn hair, she felt plain. This is supposed to be the most special day of her existence. But something felt wrong. Jenny didn’t feel like this was a beginning, she felt more like it was the end.

  Jenny has been with her fiancée, John for five years. He is a good man, but not a terribly exciting one. John is fixed in his ways, working nine to five in an estate agents and religiously goes to his two hobbies twice a week: squash on a Tuesday night and football on a Sunday morning. He doesn’t smoke or drink often and spends all his of his time with Jenny.

   That’s the problem really. They are best friends, and Jenny is finding it progressively harder to find John mysterious or attractive, because the only things he does are under her instruction.

  Jenny likes John to rely on her; it makes her feel needed and secure. But she wanted more. Jenny fantasizes of him cooking and cleaning, surprising her with presents, and even sex in public, threesomes, and maybe a few orgies! Jenny was thirty-one and just because all her friends were married with children, she didn’t understand why society said she should settle down. It seems that for women it’s a non-returnable route in life. Whereas men can switch lifestyles as and when they bloody like!      

  She looked up at the mirror and noticed one her bridesmaids, Alex, waiting for her. Jenny thought how fantastic Alex’s tits looked in her dress. She had picked that one for Alex especially.

 With Jenny’s family and friends waiting in the church she knew she had no choice. Everyone woman has to play this role despite whether they suite white. Jenny focused on getting through the ceremony. John hadn’t wanted to waste money on an expensive honeymoon, as it’s the school holidays. So it’s a weekend by the sea, Brighton.

Brighton suits me.
