I knew something about one of my friends, and she was unaware that I knew it. Prior to my meeting her, she had suffered from breast cancer. In her case, the only cure seemed to be complete removal of the breasts. She may have had restorative surgery, but I am not really sure. Let me explain.
I met her through a badminton group. We played every Wednesday evening. It was a fun event and after the games, we all went to a local pub for some food and drink. Through this, talking with her in the group setting, and also playing with her in the games, I discovered her interests. We both liked theatre.
I will also admit to you that not knowing about her condition, I had to admit that I really liked her figure, and particularly her legs. They were muscular, with large calves, and heavily muscled thighs. She was not a heavy girl and dressed in a very feminine manner most of the time, except for the games. It was just the way she was created and it sure worked for me.
She was intelligent, recently divorced, and had a daughter who still lived with her, but who was otherwise independent. I liked her. So, I asked her out.
I guess because of her cancer recovery, she was not into eating meat, but she would eat fish. So we had a dinner at a seafood place, where we discussed food, music, theatre, and life in general. We spent three hours in the restaurant, and later did a walk on the boardwalk. It was then that I asked her to go and see a live theatre event, for a future date. She accepted and things went on from there.
Someone who knew her had mentioned to me that she had undergone a double mastectomy for her breast cancer. It was a woman from the badminton club. I am not sure why she was telling me this. We actually had kept our romance fairly quiet. She did not tell me anything else.
As our relationship advanced, she invited me to her place for dinner one weekend while her daughter was away. We had a great evening, and I even did some cooking along side of her. She did not drink a lot, again for dietary reasons, and I was careful with my consumption.
We were watching a movie on her home theatre system, The Notebook, and were enjoying the romantic feelings that it engendered. I had kissed her before, many times, but this time the kissed were more passionate, both from her and me. My hands started to roam, and while I explored her body through her clothes, it became evident that she was ready for lovemaking.
This was going to be a big moment for her, and also for me. She had to decide how to handle what she might not want to reveal. But she asked me if she was ok if she left her top on. I said ok, and didn't press on. But I was excited that I would be able to examine her fabulous legs unobstructed by garments. And we did it. And it was fantastic. To this date, I have allowed her to keep her privacy with her personal issue. We have been a couple now for 9 months and I think we are going to consider living together, although we have to have a discussion with the daughter.
I guess you can overcome many obstacles when you are in love.
