The next morning I packed all my belongings, checked out of the hotel and finally entered my new house to finally live in there, and not to check how works were proceeding. I thought that maybe I should organize a party the following weekend for my new house.This was really a good idea, in order to meet the neighbors, the Smiths, and also to thank the friends who helped fixing the place. I just finished unpacking when the phone started ringing.
"Hi, this is Lisa."
"Hi Lisa, it's John!"
"Hello Mr. Mellow, how are you today?"
"I thought I was John by now, no longer Mr. Mellow!Well, how do you feel in your new house?"
"Too soon to tell. I just got in and hardly unpacked my things. But I feel very happy!"
"That's a good thing. Hey, did you think over my offer for a job?"
"Sorry John, I was too excited about my new house, and I have not had time to think about it yet. Can I stop by your studio later this afternoon?"
"Of course, I'll be here all day today. See you later Lisa."
"See you".
I hang up, and walked to the bedroom. While there I heard a noise in the backyard.Everything was so new and exciting for me that I walked down the stairs and out in my backyard without even thinking, but was just curious to see who was there.And it happened! As soon as I stepped outside a familiar voice screamed joyfully:
"Hello my dear, welcome to your new house! I can finally meet you!"
I got almost frozen, my legs started shaking, and I also gasped a little bit. Right there, just a few feet away was my beautiful wife. Four years had passed and she was as beautiful as I ever remembered. Her golden hair framing her beautiful face and coming down on her shoulders, like a Venus.Her blue eyes were reflecting the daylight as two pure diamonds and her lips were smiling to me in such a sweet way as only Martha could do.
"I am sorry...." she said a little embarrassed, "I did not mean to scare you."
"Oh, don't worry, I...... II think . I am okay!" I said in a trembling voice."I was not expecting anybody out here and got scared by hearing your voice" I was lying. "But, please, just give me a few moments so that I am going to recover completely."
"Oh my dear, I feel so embarrassed. I did not mean to scare you so much!" She did not know it, but I was not scared at all. I was just trying to face and control my emotions caused by meeting her again after 4 long years.
"I think I feel better now. By the way, my name is Lisa. Lisa Parker..."
"Mine is Martha, Martha Smith. Nice to meet you Lisa."
"Nice to meet you Martha.Do you live here with your family?
"I live with my husband Alan and my little daughter Christine. She is nearly four."
"Oh, she is in her sweet age! They are such adorable little dolls to play with when they are so young!"
"They surely do. By the way, do you have children, Lisa?
"Ehm, well, no.... I was engaged to a nice looking and serious boyfriend. We were supposed to get married. Then he died of cancer."
"Oh my God. It must have been awful for you. I really know what it means, since I had a similar experience. Alan is my second husband. My first husband Chris died in a car accident just before Christine was due. That is the reason I have named my daughter Christine, after Chris."
Right at that moment a small girl came out of my former house running and singing. I could not hold it anymore and started crying.I could see that also Martha's eyes were wet.
"I am so sorry Martha. I am sure you think that.... that I am the most stupid next door person you ever had. But I get very emotional."
"Please, do not worry. Actually, I have a feeling you are not just going to be a neighbour, but also a great friend since we have so many hard experiences in common."
"Thanks Martha, that's very kind of you to say. I think we shall be great friends." I paused a little bit to wipe my eyes. "By the way, I am having a party next Saturday for my new house. I am sure you and Alan may like to join us if you are free. It's just a few friends who helped me to fix the place.Probably no more that twenty persons all together."
"We don't have anything planned for Saturday yet, and if I can find a baby sitter for Christine, we would surely join you!"
"Thanks Martha. I am sure we shall have time to talk more at the party. It starts at six in the afternoon. Now I have to go back. I just moved in this morning and still have to fix everything."
"Okay Lisa. In case we do not see each other again in the backyard, we'll ring your doorbell on Saturday afternoon at six."
"Thanks and bye now..."
I walked back inside the house and sat on the armchair in the living room. I needed to relax. This first meeting with Martha had caused an intense emotional stress in me. I also poured myself a glass of bourbon, to help my body to relax.Maybe I just made a huge mistake. Since Chris was officially dead, Lisa should have kept herself far away from this town, building up a new life, just like Chris would have never existed!Martha has a new husband now. She did a good thing. Knowing that her Chris had died, she did a smart move, so that the baby would grow up with a father. But even though she had not re- married and would still be a poor little widow, what could I have done?Go back to her in a dress with a good view of my cleavage and my long legs, with heels and make up, smiling to her and saying: "Hi Martha. I'm Lisa. You don't know me, but I used to be your husband Chris.Well, you see, I am quite a little bit different, and now I look like a girl.Actually, I am a girl now! Or, at least, sort of a girl!You know, I do not have a cock any longer, I am unable to generate a new baby either as a male or as a female.The only kind of sex I could offer you would be, ehm.....sort of a lesbian sex..... but maybe you would still love me, do you??" That simply does not make sense to me. I am sure Martha would be sorry for what had happened to me, she would do her best to help me, she would be extremely happy to know that I am still alive as a person, no matter what I look like. But then, what could that lead to? We could only be girlfriends! I don't think she is lesbian. She always loved boys. She had plenty of them before she started being serious with me.But what an idiot I am. Why am I thinking about this only now? I could have used my energy and money in creating a brand new life for Lisa, to be enjoyed at the best. Instead I am here, trying to bring back a life that is not made for me any more. I really have to learn keeping my deep emotions far away from my plans in the future. Later I have to go and meet John at his studio. I think I am going to tell him that I am turning his job offer down, and accept the one from the doctor. My feelings are too strange and funny when he is around. And I need to be more in control of myself.
I spent a couple of hours around the house, trying to make things work the way I wanted, and in order to keep my mind busy.Then I took a shower and dressed sort of sexy to get out for a walk.I think it is good to outline my body with nice and sexy dresses untill I am young and in good shape to afford it! I stopped by John's studio.He was very happy to see me. He let me in his office and I sat down in front of his desk, crossing my legs and causing my miniskirt shortening a little bit more. His eyes were dancing back and fort between my cleavage and my legs. It's strange, very strange. All men are doing that with me, but only John makes me feel like I am completely naked in front of him. And all these funny sensations inside my body when he looks at me.... He finally found a way to look at me straight in the eyes, forgetting for a while the other parts of my body.
"Well, Lisa. How things are going?"
"Okay, I think. It finally feels great to have a home for myself again and not live in an hotel room.. By the way, I am having a party for my new house on Saturday afternoon at six.Only a few friends, no more than twenty, would you like to come?"
"Of corse. I'll be there. What should I bring?"
"Nothing. There is just some food and drinks, and it is a way to say thank you to the people who helped me on my first few days here, their spouses, and a couple of neighbors. So, nothing is actually needed. It is not a birthday party."
"Okay. I'll see what I can do then."
"You are not supposed to do anything. Please, do not embarrass me in front of other guests. I am telling everybody not to bring anything."
"Please, do not get upset with me!"
"No, I am not upset with you at all.Then, listen John, apart from all the other things, I came here to tell you that I am not taking the job you are offering me."
"Why? We have not even discussed about the financial part of it, yet. How can you refuse it before knowing all the details?" He said in a voice full of disappointment.
"It is not about money, John. It is just because this job is not really. . . What should I say. . . Well, it is not really my cup of tea!" I was not telling him the truth. I would have loved this job, but....
"You see, you love design, you have good taste, and the reason I came to you is for being helped where I was weak. Otherwise I would have decorated my place without any help.I am not even interested in the job at the bakery. Selling bread and cakes is not my cup of tea either. Therefore I may end up working for Doctor Weiss. Even a stupid chick like myself can handle a few appointments and some accounting...."
"You are not a stupid chick, Lisa. You are a bright, beautiful girl...."
"Let's just say pretty, not beautiful...." I said blushing. "I am leaving now.See you on Friday."
"See you on Friday and, I hope, you would change your mind about the job...." he said smiling and with a wink.
I smiled and left after greeting him.
I went back home, called Doctor Weiss to make the arrangements to start the following Monday morning, prepared a light dinner, and went to bed. Trying to sleep was very hard. The meeting with Martha and learning about her current situation was sort of disturbing me....
