She's 28, newly divorced; her new boyfriend is 21, fresh graduate.

Fun-lovingly single; exhausts his physique to magnetize and fulfill his animal urges, yet he is easily impressionable and in constant yearning for challenge. His constant conquests of women his age have gained him super-vanity that he believes is unbreakable by any woman; till he met her.

She was able to wrap him around her little finger, as she did with all of her ex boyfriends, but there was something different about "21". He was young, naïve, he looked up to her and he played the dating game exactly how she liked it, when she was his age.

They couldn't be seen cozy or romantic in public, it made heads turn faster than a runway model does walking down a street. She was taller, he was shorter, she looked older, and he looked younger. Finding the right time and the right place to meet each other and become intimate was hard for them both, and it has sparked an unusual feeling for the two. She sees him as a regressive conquest she never had the chance of exploring, because she had been attracted to older men most of her adult life, till she married a much older one, and divorce corrupted her belief in emotional sustenance and created a new image towards younger men.

Feeding off others’ idealism has become her fresh domain. He is the perfect example of innocence white-washed in overconfident adolescence. She wants to triumph over him without having him defeating her. The foreplay, the psychological exploits, and the premature knowledge of knowing she will have him before anything starts to taste delicious in comparison to her new found detachment. He sees her as an innocent adult void of varied human experience. He wants her, but won’t allow for any emotions to seize his youth.

But it wasn't all fun and games, sometimes he'd ditch her to show off to his friends that he was big man on campus, and sometimes he'd drive her crazy with minor discussions, especially in real life's pros and cons. He had a semi decent curfew, whereas she lived alone. He took money from his parents; she made money faster than an ATM machine. He wore French connection and the Gap; she wore Fendi, Armani and Gucci. He was sometimes more than she could handle, but nothing could beat that feeling of being young.

Her friends made fun of her, some encouraged her, some condemned her, some even saw her as a pedophile, whereas she saw it very natural and it felt natural, the relationship was perfect, he was perfect, he attended to her every word, he made her feel young and alive. She did not see it in any way that she is robbing a cradle.


Much to her surprise, "21" left her for someone younger, with tighter skin and less demands; she didn’t feel hurt, rejected? Maybe. It didn’t stop her; she has finally found secret, the answer to her every question. She had found the elixir, the fountain of youth, the key to the supreme dating potential. She found her new Dior, her new Chanel. This season's hot flavor of the month is cradle robbing!
