After her daughter graduated college and moved out, having an empty home, she finds interest in her daughter's best friend.
Vivian’s Desire
"That's the last of it. Everything is all packed up.", Nicole said with a sigh as she turned to Derrick with a slight smile. Nicole and Derrick were friends since they were lab partners in freshman biology in high school. All though the years of the many classes in high school and even at the near by university, they were the best of friends. Whenever Nicole needed help with a project, someone to take photos at a debate, or the few times she was left stranded with car trouble - Derrick was always there to give a helping hand. Giving him one last hug before taking off she whispered in his ear, "Whenever you can, check up on mom, just to see how she's doing by herself. Besides, you ARE her prom date.” That was the inside joke between all of them as her mom, Vivian, would occasionally mention to Derrick followed with a nudge from one of her hips and a wink. After college Derrick lucked out with getting a job with one of the companies in town, while Nicole wanted a change of scenery and took a position with a business on the other coast. Giving one last heartfelt goodbye to her best friend and her mother, both Derrick and Vivian waved good-bye to Nicole as she pulled away in her car.
As two non-eventful weeks passed by, as there was the heavy sound of silence in an almost desolate house, Vivian's phone suddenly gave away a faint familiar chime. Her phone displayed a photo of Derrick and Nicole laughing on the couch as it told her he was calling. Said with an uncertain confidence but with a warm tone, Derrick asked how she was doing and if she would be interested in checking out the different food vendors at the summer festival the next weekend. Excited at the prospect of having something to do and to get out of the hollow home, she gladly accepted the invitation, as there was nothing but work and television dominating her schedule for the past few weeks and for what it seemed to be the following weeks ahead.
Pulling up in his car to the house he frequently visited, Derrick got out and opened the car's door for his friend's mother, as she was ready for the event. Having Nicole early in her career, Vivian still displayed a youthful appearance than what was stated on her driver's license. Fashioning off a pair of jeans that helped exhibit her hourglass frame in a desirable manner, and a black t-shirt that embraced every one of her curves, which wasn't lost on Derrick as he sneaked a glimpse as she slid into her seat. While he was walking back around the back of his car, a curl grew to Vivian's lips as she caught Derrick's peek in one of the mirrors before he closed the door. Entering the car, he glanced to his watch, as it was only 5 minutes past since the last 10 times he checked it. "Got a hot date tonight?", Vivian kiddingly asked Derrick as he sputtered out a normal awkward response for himself. "No... just .. ah wanted to make sure we get there before the late night crowd gets through the doors. There is an interesting list of food stands being presented tonight." Laughing at his slightly nervous response, she reached and squeezed his leg as she said, "I'm sure we'll have some fun tonight." But the truth was that Vivian was up half of the previous night thinking of this event too. After planning out about 4 different ways to style her raven hair and about 7 dress changes, she finally settled on rushing out the next morning and getting a new pair of jeans along with a fresh new t-shirt as her confidence in her other 6 black shirts didn't quite measure up.
Walking inside the first festival pavilion, they were welcomed with the delicious aromas wafting from the various booths. Colorful culinary samples were presented at each table within the many pavilions as they continued their walk. Trying out a few seasonal foods, they both shared a few laughs and chuckles as the evening went by. Dumplings, fried bread, exotic street tacos, unique takes on sliders, favorable spiced meatballs, and many other treats prepared by well known local chefs were on Vivian’s plate as the night continued. Indulging in just a couple of heavily frosted, sweetened concoctions of confectionary desserts and a few craft beer samples that Viv tested out to help her wash down the next pavilion’s edible offerings. It was towards one of the last few food booths that Vivian noticed that Derrick was talking again with one of the chefs. Nothing strange about it, as he chatted and asked questions from a few of the different cooks throughout the night, but each one that he seemed to talk to were female and very well full figured or very voluminous.
After walking around and trying out a few more of the many samples, Vivian finally nudged Derrick as she finished off the remnants of a colorful baked treat, “If we spend anymore time here, you are going to have to roll be back to the car.” Walking out of the festival and out to the parking lot, Vivian stayed a few steps ahead of Derrick as they worked their way though the night crowd entering the festival. Slightly adding a very mild shake of her hips to her stride, she wanted to show-off her new attire and to see if Derrick was looking again. Not catching the glimpse from a man lately, and not being out on a date in months, Vivian enjoyed the attention of a male’s eyes being focused on her. With a few comments about the different food stands and the festival itself, Derrick pulled the car up to Vivian’s home. Having enjoyed the night, Derrick mentioned about another festival starting up in two weeks in the next town. Appreciating the evening’s activity compared to another lonely night at home, Vivian almost jumped at the chance to go to the festival, but still kept her cool under a thin shell of restraint. With a few failed relationships and some sour encounters in her past, it was comfortably stimulating for her to be out with someone nice as Derrick. As his car slowly pulled away from the house, Vivian went inside and immediately collapsed on the couch. Immediately unbuttoning the top button to her new jeans with a soft moan and began to relax, Vivian was completely stuffed and quickly drifted off to sleep on the couch’s friendly thick comfy cushions to the sound of the television’s irrelevant infomercial.
The next morning, Vivian entered the local library to talk with her best friend Ivy. Although from very different backgrounds, the two of them shared many interests and opinions. As Vivian told Ivy about the previous night, Ivy immediate knew whom she was talking about. “He’s in here on a regular basis, he’s very quiet, very fun to flirt with too.” Ivy said with a mischievous grin as she enjoyed seeing him get all flustered. With thick black glasses, long blonde hair, and slightly chubby, Ivy was a very unconventional librarian. “Looking for a spell to stay slender?”, Ivy offered as she dabbled a bit in the practice of dark arts. “No! Well, nothing yet, just let me see how this second date goes.”, said Vivian in an unsure tone. “SO IT WAS A DATE!!” Ivy quickly interjected as her voice boomed through the early sunlight in the vacant library. “I thought this was just something to go out to and have fun!” Ivy said with a sarcastic tone and quizzical look. “It was!! I think .. I mean it could technically… be …called a date but …?”, Vivian’s voice weakly retreated in uncertainly as she looked across the desk to her friend in confusion and reassurance.
