My Time

After years away I returned, never good at school I (15) left and became a sailor travelling the world. Changed ships regularly as most I served on just went back and forth to the same places and it was boring. Now after many years I'd decided to return and try something new. I heard an Australian song "I've been everywhere man", that summed up my life perfectly. Now back and quite well off as I lived on ships and rarely had to buy anything, I never took up drinking or smoking and drugs tests were regular on most ships I worked. So, never tried them either and as for sex well I got lucky every now and then. Also moving ship to ship avoided longer term relationships. I did buy one thing regularly and that was GOLD, bought it at place when the price was low sold at another when it was higher. Investing my money for the future but had no actual plan on what it was to be. At 39 I returned to my old hometown, still with no plan mainly for a change in my lifestyle. Permanent or just a shortchange wasn't sure either way, the town was totally different. No parents left they had died years before; I'd kept in touch by mail never returned for the funerals. By the time I heard they were already buried, a sister married and almost a total stranger to me. I saw her and stayed with her and her family for 5 weeks. I met a waitress 35 at the local diner and started a relationship, I wasn't planning a long-term relationship. But it turned into one she had dreams of running her own diner and had one in mind that was for sale. She intended to run it with her sister 32 and cousin 34 and I sort of got roped in. Mainly because they all worked different shifts, and I started fucking all three. Wasn't planned just started, they didn't know about my financial situation. But I got hooked and decided they would suit me and so I bought the diner of their dreams without telling tell. At first, they were disheartened that it sold, they were saving everything they could to get a deposit only to have it sold when they were so close to having the deposit. I asked the waitress to marry me and added I would marry all three if I could. She didn't respond at first but finally said why not. I than said I'll have the three of you run my business I now own. What business was their reply almost all together, it was then I told them I'd bought their most wanted diner. At first, they thought I was mucking about and then I showed them the contract. A quick wedding later, mainly due to taking over the diner was looming. They used their own money to do the upgrades they wanted done and we settled down to business. With my wife's aunt coming to live with us as her own parents had passed away like mine had. The aunt would keep the apartment above the diner and care for our children as they came. Eleven years since my marriage and 6 children that's two each two each. Happy with our lifestyle but got a great offer on the diner and so we sold it. Finding another and got a house and garden this time to raise our family and in a nice town quiet town just a third of a mile off a major highway. The diner does good business and we're content to retire here when the time comes.
