Forty-four-year-old Marie Thompson was in a pub on a girls night out with three fellow teachers from the local high school. It was a quite nice pub but one that Marie had not been in for some time. The four women got a seat and then, having ascertained what everyone wanted to drink, Marie headed for the bar.
Marie had a smile on her very attractive face, she was a generally happy person, as she arrived at the bar and she raised her eyes to see a good looking young barman on the other side of the bar. Marie recognised him but it took a moment for it to sink in just who he was.
"Hello Mrs Thompson, what can I get you?" said the young man, who obviously recognised her.
"Oh, hello Kieron, I did not know that you worked here," said Marie to the young man that had been a pupil of hers before he left school about fifteen months previously.
"Yes, just three nights a week whilst I am at college," replied the now eighteen-year-old Kieron Siddall, as he looked at the smiling face of his former teacher.
If Kieron had had his way, he and Marie would have been much more than teacher and pupil but Marie had, very sensibly, ignored some not very subtle hints that Kieron had given her about his feelings. Marie had been flattered by the young man's interest and was tempted but she knew that no good could have come from any teacher/pupil relationship.
She was married, quite happily so, but Kieron Siddall had been very hot as a sixteen and seventeen year old and he was even more so now that he was slightly older.
Marie felt that she had been standing at the bar for an eternity and she had a strange fluttering inside but she managed to splutter out the order for the required drinks. Marie mentally admonished herself for looking at the young man's firm buttocks as he got the various drinks from the optics and she smiled sweetly as she paid him for them.
"See you later Mrs Thompson," said Kieron as Marie left the bar with the four drinks on a tray. As she wondered what he meant by that, it was Kieron's turn to look at her bottom, which actually filled her rather tight skirt very nicely.
"Are you alright, Marie?" asked Sally Marwood, one of her friends, when Marie returned with the drinks.
"Yes, fine, why?" replied a slightly flustered Marie.
"We saw you chatting up the hunky barman, an ex-pupil of yours isn't he?" laughed Tina Peters, one of the other women.
"I was not chatting him up, but yes, he is an ex-pupil," said Marie, defensively.
The subject soon changed to something else, much to Marie's delight, and the four ladies sipped their drinks.
Marie's three friends had no idea that Kieron had shown an interest in her whilst he was at school, she had discussed it with nobody. He had first given her hints when he was sixteen but she dismissed it as a schoolboy crush. It got more serious when he sent her a couple of very explicit notes and she got close to reporting it but feared being accused of encouraging him so she did nothing. In the last few weeks of Kieron's school life, it seemed to have stopped so Marie thought and hoped that he had grown out of it
She still felt very guilty about one night, with her husband away, masturbating whilst thinking of her then seventeen-year-old pupil. She was quite relieved when he left the school although, in the depths of her mind, she wondered if she might one day see him again with them no longer being teacher and pupil.
The women were all able to drink as they had arrived and would leave by taxi and they were each on their third drink when Kieron arrived at their table to take away some empty glasses.
"Nice surprise seeing your teacher here tonight, isn't it?" Tina asked the young barman.
"Don't embarrass the boy, Tina," said Linda Ralph, the fourth of the women.
"What about embarrassing me?" said a now more relaxed Marie.
"I am not embarrassed, and it is always nice to see Mrs Thompson," said Kieron, responding to Tina's question and Linda's remark.
"Ha, Mrs Thompson, looks like you have pulled, Marie," said Sally, before bursting into laughter.
Marie felt herself start to blush but her eyes met Kieron's before he departed with the tray of empty glasses. 'Fuck, he is good looking,' Marie thought to herself.
The subject changed again and they had a fourth drink. All four women were getting a bit giggly and the subject got on to sex, or in Linda's case an apparent lack of it. All the women were married but were all usually a bit secretive about their sex lives but Linda had mentioned that she was not getting much lately.
"Why don't you ask the barman to give you one?" laughed Sally.
"Yeah, I am sure Mrs Thompson won't mind," giggled Tina, not intending to make Marie feel uncomfortable.
"Shut up both of you. I wish I hadn't said I was going short," said Linda.
Marie said nothing but her insides were churning and her mind whirring.
A bit later, and with the subject away from sex for the moment, they had finished their drinks and Marie fancied another one. "Well, I want another, anyone else?" said Marie.
Tina and Sally both said 'yes please' straight away and Linda did not take much persuading so Marie headed back to the bar although a lot less sober than on her first visit. She felt strangely excited at the prospect of getting face to face with Kieron again but was disappointed to see that he was busy with a big order from another customer.
Marie ordered the four drinks from the other barman and then glanced in the direction of Kieron whose eyes just happened to be on her. They both smiled and then Kieron was back to completing the other customer's order.
Marie paid the other barman for her order and was about to leave when Kieron put a piece of paper on her tray. "My mobile number: call me, please," said Kieron, looking into Marie's eyes.
Marie's lips moved but she did not say anything; she did not know what to say. She put the piece of paper in her purse and went back to her friends with the drinks. She half expected another 'Are you alright Marie?' question from one of the ladies but no question came.
They had that drink and one more beyond that before they phoned for their taxi home. Marie was hoping to see Kieron again before they left, although she did not really know why, but it was the other barman that arrived to clear their table as they were just getting ready to go.
Marie looked in the direction of the bar as they headed for the exit but Kieron was busy. She did not know if she would phone him but she had not, as yet, thrown away his number.
The women got to their respective homes and, once in bed, Marie rejected her husband's offer of sex but he accepted her quite reasonable explanation that she had a headache. As Marie lay thinking, with her back to her husband, she wondered if she would reject Kieron Siddall's offer of sex which would inevitably come if she rang his number.
The next day at work all four women were feeling a bit fragile and trying to remember whose idea it was to go drinking on a Tuesday evening. Marie still had Kieron's phone number in her purse and she knew that the sensible thing would be to destroy it but she could not bring herself to do it.
She thought back to the two notes that he had written to her when he was a pupil and she had kept them for days before finally destroying them. She had never spoken to him about them, maybe she should have done. Some of their content kept coming back into her head now as she sat in a break between lessons. Words kept appearing in her mind's eye, 'cunt' 'cock' 'fucking' 'cum' all of which had been in Kieron's note.
She now had the paper with his phone number in her hand but he had said that he attended college so it was quite possible that even if she rang now, he would not be able to answer. She felt cross with herself for even considering phoning, she was a married woman and about twenty-five years his senior, but she had still not ruled out making the call. The piece of paper went back into her purse.
Marie's school day was finished and she was at home. Her husband would be home in less than an hour and she was still wrestling with herself as to whether to phone Kieron or not but she knew that by phoning him she would be very close to agreeing to fuck. It was now or never, at least as far as this day was concerned.
She tapped the numbers on her mobile and right up until hitting the 'call' button she was still undecided. She did not remember actually touching 'call' but she must have done because there was a ringing tone.
