Introducing Marilyn
- The "mom" of the family.
- 48 years old.
- 5 ft 8 in, 140 pounds.
- 36-26-36. Not thin but not fat either.
- C-cups, "enhanced" a few years ago to regain their former, beautiful shape.
- Brunette hair, worn in a "shag" cut that almost reaches her collar.
- Deep brown eyes.
- Some people say she reminds them of Mariska Hargitay during her short hair cut days on "Law and Order: SVU".
"You have to come stay with us," Marilyn begged the slightly younger woman sitting opposite her in an otherwise almost empty mom-and-pop hamburger joint. "I can't be stuck with him 24/7 for God knows how many weeks alone."
"You won't be alone!" Abigail correcting laughing. "Your kids are all going to be there with you, too!"
"Oh, God," Marilyn murmured to herself, her head dropping enough that her forehead nearly smacked the tall milkshake glass before her. She looked up again with a desperate expression. She begged, "Please! I ... I can take having all the kids back in the house again. Hell, half of them never left anyway. That's not the problem."
"Then, what's the problem?" the 34 year old who preferred Abby asked her friend, who additionally preferred her nickname of Mary. "You told me you still loved Brian."
"I do!" Mary responded instantly. "I never stopped loving him!"
Abby knew what the problem was but didn't immediately point it out. Finally, she said softly, "You're just not in love with him."
Mary diverted her eyes, embarrassed with how transparent she and her issues were. When she looked back to Abby, she said softly, "I'm in love with you."
Now it was Abby's turn to turn her eyes away. The two of them had only become acquainted a year ago and had only become lovers have that long ago. And while Abby used the word lovers to describe them, she wasn't in love with Mary any more than Mary was with her husband. She very much enjoyed being with the other woman, whether sitting down for a shared plate of fries or stretching at hot yoga or getting sweaty with one another in that very other special way. But Abby wasn't the one-woman type of girl. Hell, she wasn't even a lesbian as far as that went; Mary was the only woman with whom she'd had intimate relations. Even so, it hadn't happened because Abby was into women; she was simply into Mary.
She began, "I'll come stay with you during the--"
Mary nearly whooped in joy as she reached out to grasp the other woman's hand.
Abby told her to settle down, then continued, "I will come stay with you ... but with conditions!"
"Name'em!" Mary said, her joy more than obvious. "Anything you want."
"Brian doesn't know about us, right?" Abby asked.
"No," Mary said without hesitation. Then, a bit more hesitant, she explained, "I mean ... he doesn't know about you and me ... but ... he might know that I haven't been faithful."
"How?"
Mary laughed short and sharp, then looked around to see if anyone was looking their way. Of the 20 or more booths and tables, only six had anyone at them; after very briefly looking at the loud lady, those who'd glanced their way went back to what ever they were doing.
"We've been married for almost 30 years," Mary began again in a soft voice, adding that their anniversary was just 10 days away. "We were ... oh ... so hot for one another in those first years. We had sex almost every day. Even ten years later, we were still fucking--"
She stopped and looked about again, grimacing playfully at the use of the profane word. Even quieter Mary continued, "We were still having sex two, three days a week after ... hell, 20 years in and we were still acting like it was our first time at least once a week."
Abby shrugged at a moment of silence in Mary's story, asking, "And...?"
"And ... then it stopped," Mary went on. "I dont know what happened. Suddenly, the fire was out. I thought maybe it was because I went through menopause so early. I mean, c'mon, 38 years old? Then I thought it was the emergency hysterectomy when I had that scare. I just ... I just didn't feel ... I dunno ... like a real woman anymore."
"How did Brian feel about--"
"Oh no no no...!" Mary interrupted. "Brian was good through all of it. But ... he saw that I wasn't ... I dunno, I just lost interest in sex for a while. And he let me be ... let me have my time."
"For a while," Abby repeated the words Mary hadn't even realized she'd said. "You got your interest back then."
Mary felt a blush fill her face. Despite being lovers for half a year, she and Abby had never talked about their sexual histories. She'd never told Abby that one day she found herself full of lust while in the company of an attractive man who, it would turn out, was feeling a bit of lust for her. And with a couple of drinks in them already, they ended up in a motel room, sweating up the sheets and rediscovering Mary's long absent sex drive.
"I had an affair," she told her current lover, keeping it simple. She shrugged her shoulders, blushed again, then added, "And another. The third one ... well ... it was with Ellie ... but you knew that."
Eleanor was Abby's ex-girlfriend and had been Mary's first foray into same sex relationships. They'd only been together three times before they realized they weren't suited for one another, long term. During that time, though, Mary had met Abby and -- after several very exciting nights -- the pair found that they were very much suited for one another.
"And you think Brian knows you cheated on him?" Abby asked in barely more than a whisper.
Mary shrugged. "I don't know. He's never confronted me. He's never even hinted that he has suspicions. I've been very careful. But ... I dunno ... a husband ... a wife ... 30 years of marriage ... could he not know?"
The stared at one another in silence for a moment before Mary returned them to the origins of this conversation: "You said you have conditions."
"Brian is not to know we are lovers," Abby said without hesitation.
"Of course, I won't--"
"I mean it, Mary," Abby said with a stern tone. "You continue to sleep with him--"
"Well ... we don't sleep with--"
Abby cut in, "Yeah, yeah, you told me, you have separate beds in the same room because you tend to roll and -- even after 30 years -- it still wakes him up at night. You will continue to sleep in that room with him ... not in another room with me."
Mary nodded, reluctantly saying, "Accepted."
"You and I will not show any intimacy when anyone is near us ... period!" Abby stressed. When Mary asked for an explanation, Abby clarified, "Unless there is absolutely no chance that someone is going to catch us ... we don't do anything that--"
"Yeah, I get it," Mary said reluctantly. After a moment she asked, "But ... we're still gonna ... you know ... be together sometimes?"
"When I say, how I say, where I say," Abby stressed. "I'm not gonna do this in a house full of your family members with them knowing I'm your lesbian play thing. Got it?"
Mary nodded agreement. They discussed the situation some more, paid for their meal, and picked up the massive To-Go order they'd asked for earlier. The café was closing to sit-down guests today and, possibly, even to drive-thru, take-out, and all business soon. Mary had wanted to support the mom-and-pop operation as much as she could, though, so she ordered three full meals for the 10 people they were expecting to shelter-in-place at her home, in addition to buying a $500 money order for future meals to help the elderly couple survive this tragic period.

Mary took her seat at one end of the family table, opposite where Brian was already sitting. The leaves had been put into the middle of the old oak table, lengthening it so that all ten family members and guests -- as well as the massive meal -- would easily fit in comfort. She looked downt the table to her left, smiling to each person one after another:
Desta was Mary and Brian's eldest daughter at just short of 24 years of age. She'd been living on campus at UCLA the past five years and had been about to finish the first year of her Masters Degree when the campus closed and sent everyone home.
Next to Desta was her boyfriend Austin. Brian and Mary hadn't been to keen on having the young man who was boning their daughter tough out the current situation here in their house. But Desta had made it plain and clear that if Austin didn't come here with her to their house, she would go with him to his. So...
Next to the 25 year old Austin sat Mary's sister, Karen, and next to Karen was yet another boyfriend who Mary and Brian had reluctantly allowed to stay for similar reasons. The age gap between the two sisters was ironically the same as that between Karen and her boy toy, Tyler: in order, they were 48, 38, and a mere 28.
After glancing to and also smiling to her 50 year old husband, Mary looked to Abigail sitting at her right and then to the youngest members of the temporarily extended family:
Jessica, who had only just turned 18 two months ago, was Karen's only daughter. She was a sweet, quiet thing who Mary knew for a fact was a virgin and, if this current life changing situation didn't change soon, might very well remain so for months, years, even decades to come. Okay, okay, decades might be extreme. But Mary still felt sorry for the little thing; Mary had lost her virginity at 15, then very energetically partook of a couple of dozen men before finally finding and marrying the man who she thought -- incorrectly -- would be the last man to put his cock inside her.
Next to Jessie was Della, of course; the two were almost inseparable any weekend or vacation that the two could get their parents to put them together. Della had actually been an oops! baby; Brian had gotten his balls clipped so that Mary could give up the pill, and yet lo and behold, here came little Della, who would be turning 19 in 3 days. Brian had had to go under the knife again, of course, and for a while he and Mary had had a resurgence of their love life.
Last but not least, of course, was Josh, Mary and Brian's only son. He was 21, and while Mary hoped they all wouldn't still be locked in isolation for his next birthday to come, who the hell could know. Josh, too, had been living away at college and was home due to campus closure.
It was a good thing they had a six bedroom house, Mary thought as she looked around to all of the assembled faces.
She spoke to them for a moment about their situation, talking about the need to work together on issues, tasks, and chores that affected them all; about the need to give and honor personal space when individuals needed it; and about how no one really knew what was ahead of them and, therefore, they were all going to have to be flexible in their thoughts and acts toward one another.
Oh ... if Mary only knew what was to come ... she probably would have sent them all to their bedrooms without dinner here and now!
