The Affairs

One Year Earlier

Maureen Prescott a beautiful brunette woman in her late thirties sat at her makeup station staring at her reflection in the mirror. She applies a dark shade of red lipstick to her pouty lips. She sure is a vision of beauty. All men wanted her. This she knew. But a last, she is married to Neil Prescott, the executive a marking firm. Both have a fifteen year old daughter together name Sidney. Sidney looked just like her mother but a younger version. She, her daughter and husband live in a town called Woodsboro. Woodsboro is a small town located in the outskirts of California and borders Nevada. Maureen has spent almost her entire life in the county of Woodsboro. She attended Woodsboro high with younger sister Kate and almost went to college but chose not to. Kate was the brains while Maureen had all the beauty. No Maureen wasn't going to go to college. She was aspiring actress and decided to head to Los Angeles to fulfill her dream of becoming an actress. When things didn't work out, she high tailed it and came home.

Since then she had gone to community college and got her degree in business and has a real estate's license. She's been selling homes in Woodsboro and the counties over for almost seventeen years. She had met Neil who was in town on business at the time. They both fell in love and were married a year later. Sidney was born two years later. She's a good mother and a pretty good wife to her husband Neil but hadn't taken care of her self. Things between Neil and herself have cooled off considerably. Neil use to ravage her day in and day out showing her romance beyond her years. Lately he hasn't been home much and this didn't sit right with her. She felt she needed attention. She spent so much time taking care of her husband and daughter that she forgot about her needs.

Taking care of her family came as top priority to Maureen. She would make sure Sidney had money for her self as well as a ride to school. She'd make sure Neil had everything he needed and would always meet him wherever he asked her to. She spent all this time by his side and what has he done for her except get her pregnant. Maureen loves her daughter very much but Neil must've thought that all she was good for was having a baby. Maureen was much more than just a mother and a wife. She hated that Neil ignored her needs. Sidney hadn't done that but she's just a teenager. She was there for Maureen as much as a teenager could be. Sidney was different. She's a teenage girl who has friends she hangs out with so she's not home much. Maureen truly felt alone. No more. Maureen had finally had enough of being ignored by her husband.

Maureen had gotten prettied up and headed out one night. She made her way into the local pub and sat down at the bar. The place wasn't bad but wasn't too clean either. "It could use some Windex." Maureen thought to herself as she surveyed the place. The pub was filled with guys who didn't appear to be gentlemen. They were cussing up a storm and very unruly. Maureen wouldn't be caught dead with trash like them. She was the wife of an executive. A man who made lots of man and showered her with it to make up for lost time. However, one guy did catch her eye. He was tall dark mysterious handsome. Maureen couldn't take her eyes off him. When he noticed her, she gave him an alluring smile. The guy smiled back then made his way over to the bar to stand next to Maureen.

"I don't recall seeing a pretty thing like you in my neck of the woods." The guys said in booming but sexy voice.

"I never come to this part of town." Maureen said alluringly to him. She batted her eyelashes at him. "What's your name stranger?"

"Cotton Weary." The guy said. Maureen chuckles. "What's so funny?"

"Come on. Is that your real name?" She asked him not believing him.

"Yes it is." Cotton said smiling. "I know my name sounds funny."

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to laugh. Its just that I've never met a man who's name was Cotton."

"I didn't catch your name." Cotton said.

"Maureen Press…" Maureen started to say but stopped herself from using her married name. "Roberts. Maureen Roberts." She said smiling.

"Well Ms. Roberts, may I buy you a drink?" Cotton asked her.

"Yes and please call me Maureen." Maureen said as Cotton sat next to her and ordered them both two drinks. Both began talking about themselves and their lives. Cotton told her that he worked as foreman in the local factory in town. Maureen told him about selling real estate. She hadn't told him about her husband not to mention her teenaged daughter Sidney. She didn't want to scare him off. Their conversation went so well that he invited her to his place and the two ended up making love. Maureen had committed the ultimate sin. She had cheated on her husband.

Cotton gave her something she hadn't had in a long time. A good fuck. She hadn't been screwed like that since she and Neil first got together. It was amazing. The rush she got from being with Cotton made her feel like a woman. When she returned home Sidney was there with Tatum. Sidney knew something was different but didn't know what it was. Maureen had to keep her daughter in the dark about her affair with Cotton.

It had been a year to the day since she and Cotton met up for the first time and there were many more times after that first initial contact. It was then that Maureen began to explore her sexuality. She began to seduce more patrons in different towns making sure not to creep to close to home. Recently she began seeing another man because Cotton was starting to get tiresome. She loved fucking him but he just wasn't enough. She had to have more.

Tonight she is going to meet up with another man and a seclude motel. She knew Sidney was out with her friends Tatum, Stu, Randy and Billy. Maureen smiled watching as her daughter gushed over the handsome Loomis boy. Sidney blushed whenever Billy would talk to her and was very shy. She knew her daughter to be a good girl and was nothing like her. She wanted to keep it that. Sidney had asked her if she could spend the night at Tatum's house. Mrs. Riley didn't mind because she liked Sidney a lot. Maureen told Sidney it was ok for her to stay at Tatum's. It gave her the perfect excuse to stay at a hotel with her gentlemen caller.

Maureen's car pulled into the parking of the Ridgemount motel. She noticed the car in the parking lot belonging to her gentlemen caller and smiled. She made her way up the stairs to room 310. Then she knocked on the door. The gentleman opened the door to reveal her lover's identity. Maureen made her way into the room and the door closed behind her.

This was the start of her down fall for Maureen didn't realize what her actions were going to do to her family.
