In the morning, Rupert woke up to see Greta by his side, her arm over his chest. This felt like home, this was his best morning in his life. He didn’t have worries; he didn’t have things to do to make things right anymore. He knew that she loved him as he was. He didn’t even care if the nuptial night or the previous night could lead her to get pregnant. They would adjust to that too. They were the best couple ever.
He smelled her hair, thinking about her warm support, getting him back on the rails. He was going to do everything for her. He didn’t have to, he wanted to. He was going to get better so she wasn’t going to need to support him like that. First, he had to teach her the language, she could need more words than ‘bosom’, ‘pillow’ and ‘bed’.
He planned to go to town, to visit the school and learn what he needed. But he was going to buy his Greta some presents too, so he needed to go there alone. They could go there together next week again.
He woke Greta up and told her to get ready. They were going to the village. She didn’t understand and she tried to remember if this was a planned thing. He already collected some goods to sell in the village and he was waiting for her.
After an hour, they were walking in the village side by side. Rupert was carrying the bags and Greta was walking, looking at the people, smiling at everyone. She hoped some of them would notice how an inappropriate couple they were. She felt like she was a rebel, taking the first step on opening the path for all the women in the village.
She wasn’t aware that those women were the ones who were going to criticize her first, if they saw them. They didn’t.
After visiting Arnold’s shop, they visited Colman and Anna. Anna was cleaning the garden and called Greta to help her. Colman and Rupert were eating apples, looking at them.
“How is the marriage going?” asked Colman.
“There are ups and downs but I guess it’s going very good, I never felt happier in my life.”
“Great! First weeks are the hardest.” and added with a naughty smirk “and the best.”
“Only…”
“What?” asked Colman with half of the apple in his mouth.
“Never mind.”
“Tell me.”
Rupert whispered “I get too excited and in the first…” he was having trouble talking about such things “I mean the first round, I can’t control myself.” blushing and feeling very ashamed. But Colman was the only one he could talk to. And he was experienced, he was married since the beginning of time.
Colman wasn’t an expert, he only had Anna in his life.
“It gets old, don’t worry. You won’t feel that excited in time.”
“Is that the same for everyone? Is that the only way it is fixed? Losing interest in her?”
“I guess…” Colman didn’t want to act as if he was an expert, he didn’t want to intervene in such a thing that could affect their lives. “Why don’t you visit the hospital in town, when you’re there? They might teach you techniques or something.”
Rupert felt uneasy picturing himself talking to complete strangers about this, in their offices.
“I’ll think about that.”
“But don’t worry about that, it’s normal.” Colman said.
After giving them the bush tomatoes which Rupert handpicked in the mountain as a present and after Anna hugged and kissed Greta as if she was her own daughter, they left and went directly to Margaret’s house.
They sat there for a period and then she saw Rupert talking to Margaret. He walked near her and kissed her on her cheek, saying “I will come back before night.”
She didn’t understand it clearly and she stood up to follow Rupert, when she saw him putting his shoes on. Margaret held her arm to say “He will come, you stay here.”
Rupert told Margaret that he was going to buy presents for Greta from the boutique in the Town as a surprise, so he wanted her to stay at Margaret’s house until he returned. He also told that he didn’t want to leave her at home, because she wasn’t familiar enough and something could happen to her. These were all true. Only, there were things he didn’t tell, things he thought after he talked to Colman.
Rupert left Margaret’s house. Greta watched him go until he disappeared. This was the first time they separated. Rupert left the village and started to walk to Town. He was going to visit some other place before going to the school or the boutique. He decided to learn everything about sex, so that he wasn’t going to do any more mistakes that were constantly interrupting his and their happiness.
When Colman told him to go to the hospital to ask, he couldn’t picture himself, talking to a man or a woman he just met, about his problems about sex. It wasn’t possible for him. Just when he was about to give up, an idea popped up in his head.
There was a place that he could feel more comfortable talking about this, a place that he would learn more useful things than he could learn in a hospital. That hotel!
When he was in town, he walked directly to that hotel. He wasn’t feeling comfortable and he almost got cold feet. But when the guy in the reception asked him if he could help him, he said “I am looking for a woman.”
The receptionist couldn’t be sure if he was a customer or he was a ‘customer’.
“A woman? A particular woman or any woman?”
Rupert’s face turned red “A particular woman.”
Receptionist understood that he was a normal customer, he probably was looking for a guest in their hotel. But there were no female guests there at that time.
“Name, please?”
Rupert was in colors of red, trying to talk “There was a woman, a bit old, I guess two years ago.”
“Rhonda?” he said thinking that this was the first time she had a returning customer “To be sure, are you looking for a professional woman, err, I mean personnel working here?”
“Yes, Rhonda was her name.”
“Dude, she died last year. But we have other women, I guess you like old and dirty but…”
“Not like that!” Rupert jumped “I need to talk.”
“?”
Rupert thought he was already in this mess so he told him “I have some questions.”
“Doesn’t matter if you even just look at her, same rates apply.”
“I will pay, I mean I was…”
“Why her? Why not another one?”
Rupert could say “I guess it could be, I don’t know. But please I need the woman to be ugly, I don’t want this to go sideways.”
“We don’t have ugly, sorry. Anita!”
Rupert looked around as if he was trying to find somewhere to hide, he was that scared.
And, Anita entered the lobby “What?”
She was gorgeous with her perfect long legs, small but round ass, thin but feminine body and considerably large breasts compared to her body. And of course, she was wearing a revealing and a sexy dress. Rupert reproached himself because of what he felt and thought when he saw her. He couldn’t help but want her. Stupid ideas came to his mind and then he remembered his perfect woman, his sweet strong and beautiful Greta. This woman could look more attractive than her but he wouldn’t even let her carry Greta’s bags for her, Greta was that precious and important.
The receptionist said “This is your customer; he just wants to talk.”
“Oh, you will just talk then? We’ll see. Follow me sweetheart.”
Rupert walked behind her like a stray dog, trying not to look at her swaying beautiful ass but he couldn’t take his eyes of that mesmerizing thing. She opened a door and invited him inside.
