Late on Saturday evening, Kim had got out of bed after our amazing afternoon together.
"Hey, you two, I've got to go," she said, "Need some sleep, working tomorrow lunchtime."
"That's a shame," Roz replied, "but, yeah. We'll see you soon, I hope."
Kim said, "Awww, it was brilliant, you are so, so sexy. I just loved everything we did." She turned to me. "And you are very lucky to have such a gorgeous, sexy lady!"
"Oh, I know, Kim," I said, "but you are very sexy too. It was a blast!"
"Thanks. Look, see you later." And, having gotten dressed, she then got onto the bed to give us both hugs and a passionate kiss.
"No," I said, "don't start me off again!" The girls giggled as Kim got up and walked out the door.
Roz and I lay in bed, I turned on the bedside radio and we just drifted off back to sleep.

Sunday morning stretched on as we lay in bed, listening to the radio.
"Time to get up, I suppose," Roz said. "I've got to speak with the landlady this evening so I can't see you tonight."
"Not even later?"
"Well, she's waiting for more info from probation about my case, she won't know until tonight," Roz explained.
So, we got up and headed for a pub lunch before we walked back to the bail hostel. Because of the landlady's security process, I wasn't allowed to go up to Roz's room so we sat in the reception room and chatted for a while. Until ...
"I'm going to miss you this evening," I said.
"Me too, but I'll see you tomorrow night. And, on Tuesday morning, I have to sign on. I can come to work with you!" Roz said, excitedly.
We hugged and kissed and she led me to the front door. "See you tomorrow, sexy!" she said, as we waved goodbye. A little deflated, I walked back home.
That evening, the bedsit was so quiet that it seemed inconceivable that, only the day before, it had been a sex palace! As I lay on the bed, I could still smell traces of the girls' perfume and even an aroma of our mix of bodily fluids. Aaahh, such heaven! Just thinking about it was making my cock stiffen. Naturally, I had a little fumble but, I was still quite tired and, very soon, I was asleep.

And then, it was Monday, and back to work. I arrived at my usual desk to begin interviews but my manager called me into her office before the business day began. Sitting in her office was a supervisor who I'd seen but hadn't spoken to.
"As we spoke last week, we looking to fast-track you. So today, you'll be under tuition with Glenys here to learn about the process beyond the initial interview," she said.
"That's good news," I replied, "yes, it'll be nice to get to know how it all works."
Then Glenys said, with a laugh, "Hope you're strong! We've got all these folders to carry back to the study room."
So we got ourselves set up for a morning of tuition. I guessed that Glenys was about forty years old. She was a slim-built lady with a nice but unspectacular figure, short hair and she wore glasses, which made her look quite severe. We opened up the folders to begin my tuition and the pages were a myriad of bullet points and flow diagrams. This wasn't going to be an easy, one-day class.
The day wore on with occasional interruptions, mainly from Glenys' team members, seeking advice on procedures, but we managed to get through a fair bit of knowledge.
In general chat, we spoke about our backgrounds. She had been in the job for about ten years, she had herself been fast-tracked and, here she was, a team supervisor and, now, fast-tracking me! She was divorced but had a boyfriend who had his own place and didn't live with her.
I told her of my situation, been in London for eight months, a few weeks in a bed & breakfast hotel, and been in a grotty bedsit for the last seven months, living hand-to-mouth on low wages but this job will probably pay better. "Oh, yes," she said.

After work, I went home, got changed, and headed out to see Roz. She seemed to be a little distracted so I asked her what was wrong. It was news about her court date.
"I've got a court date, it's a bit short notice," she said, "it's this Friday!"
"Wow! That is short notice" I was amazed that the bureaucracy was so quick.
"Not only that, but they have switched my case to Swindon!"
"Where you come from?"
"Yes," she said, a sad look coming across her face. "I've got to go home."
"How are you feeling?" I asked. Well, a pointless question, really.
"Well, it's home but what about you and me? A week ago, I wasn't expecting to meet someone like you. And now, I have to leave!" Roz was quite tearful when she spoke that last sentence. "I'd love to stay here with you. We could get a nicer place ..." I had to stop her before she got carried away with 'our future'.
"Stop! We've got a couple of days before you have to leave. Let's just enjoy it!" I said, trying to see the bright side of our situation.
I always had a feeling that things would end with a departure. It was always a departure, usually mine, which ended my relationships. But this departure would be Roz's. And, in a romantic sense, this one would hurt the most. Yes, we have had amazing sex but we have had plenty of time when we would just chat, just hang out with each other, doing stuff that a normal dating couple would do. We did meet under unusual circumstances and it looked like those circumstances would be the cause for us to part.
____________________________________
So, that's what we did for our last three nights together, we dated like a regular couple would do. Going to pubs for drinks, going to restaurants for meals, going to the cinema for movies. We spent loads of time just talking, even about the possibility of a future together in Swindon or London. Of course, we were both trying to escape from the countryside but Roz's efforts had got her into trouble and my life in London was working out well, especially with my new job giving me some stability.
And, of course, at the end of every evening, we would come back to my grotty bedsit and make beautiful love to the sound of the recent soul albums.
On the Thursday morning, I threw a little sickie from work so we could spend our last moments together before her parents would be collecting her to go back home. (That got me into a little bit of trouble.)
So, farewell, Roz! Write to me soon!

Being fast-tracked at work was harder than I thought it would be. I was just taking notes all the time and cross-referencing them to the large folders and, all the time, I had to try to remember which note was where in my notebook and which folder it was cross-referenced to! What a nightmare!
Eventually, the tuition with Glenys was finished and I was able to take my place in a team with a view to becoming the team leader. So, work went on as usual.
A couple of weeks had gone by since I'd said goodbye to Roz but I hadn't heard anything from her. Scenarios were going around my head about why she hadn't written but I hadn't heard anything and I wasn't really in any position to find out. So, thoughts of Roz sadly started to fade away. But one evening, while I was sitting at home, my doorbell rang. I padded down the hall to answer the door and discovered that Kim had come by.
"Hello," she said, "just checking on you because you haven't been in for a burger for a while!"
"Hahaha, thanks," I replied, "Are you OK? Come in for a coffee." Kim followed me along the hall and up the stairs to my room.
"It's been a while," she said as she sat down. I made coffees and handed one to her. "Have you heard anything from Roz?"
"No, I haven't," I said, "it's a bit worrying. You remember how we met, yeah? So, she had to go back to her hometown to appear in court. I don't know how it went or anything and I don't know how to find out."
"That's strange. And it's a shame. She was gorgeous," Kim said.
"Yeah, it's sad because the lovely memories are starting to disappear," I said.
"Surely not. What? Even that wonderful afternoon we shared." My mind went straight back to that day.
"You know, Kim, that afternoon will stay with for as long as I live."
Kim giggled a little at that and said, "Yes, it was brilliant!" And, with that, she leaned across me to put her coffee cup on the table. And she stayed leaning across. I could feel her breasts on my lap and I'm sure her breasts could feel a reaction from my lap! She used her hands to push against the arm of the sofa and then my thigh.
