Intrigued by the description in his profile, outlining rules of engagement, hence no photo and solely provided upon request. The profile indicates married with no intention of leaving the spouse, only interested in hooking up. Curiosity got the best of her, Patria inquired about the profile pictures. The hookup was scheduled at Patria’s home. Guy shows up at the agreed-upon time, sex is had, the hour is up, Tim leaves. The hookup takes place every Saturday morning, at the same time, before Tim’s football practice. Tim is the assistant coach for the high school team as well as the gym teacher. Patria says the sex is amazing! Like clockwork, Tim texts on Thursday no later than Friday to secure the 7 am slot for Saturday morning. Patria dates extensively, has an engaging social life. Loves her couture wardrobe, never misses a session with her trainer. The thing is she can’t help but wonder what her life could be with Tim in the picture fulltime.
Obsessing over what the wife looks like drove Patria to Facebook to uncover how beautiful the wife is. Unbeknownst to Patria, when the hookup started, the wife was already pregnant, with their first child. The encounters continued. The child was born with a medical condition known as dwarfism, which caused the affair to be put on hold.
Patria continues to date and has viable suitors who are adamant about wanting a relationship, although she dismisses everyone.
By the time the affair resumed, Patria was unapologetically deep in love with a man who was true to their encounters and nothing more. The affair lasted three years, not once did Tim ever allow himself to be seen in public with Patria, invite her out on a date, remember a birthday or celebrate a holiday.
Griselda
Griselda cleans homes as a means of paving her way thru the world. She has been married to Reynaldo for short of 30 years. During this time she has put on an inordinate amount of weight. She is the oldest of three sisters. She sighs with complacency and frustrations in her life. Feels stuck and alone, her dream of bearing children forgone. Early in the marriage, she learned of her husbands inability to father children and elected to stay in the marriage independent of her yearning. She bottled, swallowed and ate her feelings, silencing her desperation. Reynaldo has never been progressive or a forward thinker, more whimsical than anything else. As Griselda drowned her sorrow it always resurfaced in density.
Lucinda, Griselda’s much younger sister, flirtatious, easy on the eye, blurred lines. Some how never quite manifesting a relationship all her own, given the opportunity pounced on Reynaldo. Reynaldo allowing himself to be swayed any which way the wind blows reciprocated the advances. The affair went on for months on end. Lucinda and Reynaldo had an arrangement sex in exchange for money. Lucinda was a waitress at a Dominican spot called El Jobito where the prerequisite for employment was looking brand new. Brand new tities, Brand new ass, snatched. Although Lucinda had men lusting on her, not one was vying to make her a wife whereas Griselda had a husband whose loyalty was questionable.
Once Griselda learned of the affair she packed her things and went to stay with Minerva her supportive sister. Vowing to never return to Reynaldo until he threatened to take his life. Tethered, disenchanted, acrimoniously she stood by his side.
