OOC: The main idea of this thread is a cruiseline that caters to divorced couples, giving them a second chance at their relationships far away from the suffocating domestic environment that may have ruined their relationship. This thread will need at least one other couple BlueEyeLady will be playing the part of Lisa and I will be playing Sean. The other couple is named Bobby and Ellen, so we will need one male and one female to play their parts. Please PM me if interested. If anyone can think of another couple that will be on the cruise please PM me to discuss it.
Here's a start to give everyone an idea what's going on:
IC: "Welcome aboard Second Chance Cruiselines" an overly energetic young woman dressed like a mermaid boomed into the intercom as we left port. The travel agency had hyped Second Chance as an affordable way for recently divorced or seperated couples to examine their relationships far away from the hassles of kids, morgtage payments, debts, attractive coworkers, and all the other issues that may had lead to the split in the first place. I wasn't thrilled at the idea but as I read the fine print I could see that I wouldn't have to spend every waking second with my ex wife and also at least this cruise would be full of others in my situation. All the young studs I work with couldn't understand how hard it was for me to get back in the dating game after my divorce. The fine print also didn't specify what exactly "recently" meant since Lisa and I had been seperated for two years and the divorce became final three years ago. We tried to work it out during the separation so I guess you could say we already had our second chance. The reasons for the divorce were complex but mostly we just grew tired of each other. Once we lost that newlywed spark we never tried to get it back. I found that weird considering we dated for many years and were engaged for two and the spark was always there. In the back of my mind I justified that as we had something to look forward to then, I mean marriage, so we kept the spark going, after marriage we didn't have anything to look forward to.
I took a little pride in knowing our divorce wasn't messy. If anything it was mutual. Our friends Bobby and Ellen had gone through the same thing just a few months before so we formed our own little divorce club. We still got together about once a week for dinner and it was nice. Many times I thought about telling Lisa about the young handsome men at my office but I felt so uneasy trying to get my ex-wife a date. I wanted her to be happy but not that like that.
Bobby and Ellen were only married a short time when Ellen began to hate him. Her reasons were justified since he cheated on her and had no idea what it took to be a married man. I was surprised Ellen agreed to meet him for dinner when we first formed our club but I guess that was her revenge. He used her for years so now it was her turn to use him for a few free meals. They still had what I would consider the spark. The flirted at dinner but within seconds of the flirting it would turn into heated arguments about "remember when you..." and "oh yeah well remember when you..." so it was just a bad game of he said she said. So we made the rule to not insult each other at our weekly meetings and to not discuss the past.
Bobby and Ellen had mentioned the idea of the cruise when they read about it on the Internet. At first I didn't like the idea but two weeks on a cruise ship didn't sound bad, and I needed the vacation. I wondered what the point was, was there a good success rate of people getting back together and with all the messy divorces how could this company make a profit? But I but my tongue since Lisa agreed right away and I didn't want to say no and deny her getting to go since it was a second chance cruise not a cruise to meet singles. She wouldn't be allowed to go alone. So we made our reservations, packed our bags, and three weeks later here we are on our way to our second chance and probably our last chance at making it work. As I said we remained friends but lately Lisa and I had began to drift. I rarely spent any time alone with her, except when Bobby or Ellen were in the bathroom or something like that. I felt like I was in high school again. Lisa was like that pretty girl that would actually speak to you and be friends with you but nothing more. Of course I had been much more with her, afterall I was married to her, but now I felt like I was in reverse and trying to make something more of our friendship.
I picked Lisa up at 7 a.m.. She was running late so she invited me in. Her hair was still a mess and she was just wearing a robe but she looked absolutely stunning. I missed mornings like this. She came downstairs and her shirt was unbuttoned. I felt myself flush a little, she laughed at me since I had seen her many times before that way but I said "Yeah, but those were under different circumstances." Then came the eerie silence. She gave a fake laugh and made her way to the kitchen to reset the outgoing message on her answering machine to let people know she was going on vacation.
As we drove to drove to a parking garage where the bus was waiting to pick us up to take us to the harbor, I began reminiscing. I thought of our honeymoon in Cancun and all our weekend trips to the lake. I didn't care if this second chance stuff worked out I just hoped to make some more memories like we had in the past. I realized I had broken the "do not talk about the past" rule but Lisa didn't seem to mind.
