Ch. 1 The bitch gets her deserved comeuppance
"Grandma, how did you meet Grandpa?" Mia's six year old granddaughter Michelle asked.
"A dog brought us together." Grandma answered.
Mia pulled her youngest granddaughter onto her lap and gave her a big hug. Michelle had on her best dress because this was a party celebrating Grandma and Grandpa's 50th wedding anniversary.
The child fingered the septuagenarian's poodle shaped brooch and innocently asked, "How did you know he was the one?"
"It just felt right," Mia replied and smiled.
*******
"Do I have too?" Zoey whined.
"No." her fiancΓ©e Mac replied.
"I feel like I'm coming down with something." she said standing in the bathroom wearing a matching black thong and bra.
The demi cups tried to uplift and create cleavage out of her little breasts, but it was a hopeless task. Zoey's breasts were no more than chicken cutlets with dark brown nipples attached. The thong hung loosely on her boyish hips and flat ass.
Mac wished she still had the curves she possessed when he first met her. Zoey had become fanatical about dieting. She was determined that her 5' 6" frame never carry more than 110 pounds even if that meant she had the androgynous figure of a twelve year pre-pubescent child.
Zoey pulled a Christmas sweater over her head and put a short skirt on. She grabbed a hair brush to fluff up her dyed blonde hair and continued complaining, "Oh, yes I have to go. It's for charity. We've already bought the gift. We are also meeting my kid sister's train."
"Well, we don't have to stay at the party long if you don't feel up to it dear." he said.
That statement grated on Mac's ear. He hated himself for having uttered it. He sounded so pussy whipped. Where was the man he used to be?
"Phif," Mac said under his breath. That was the sound of his tiny shriveled up balls falling off.
Mac used to be 'the man'. He was the captain of his high school football team. He dated lots of girls in high school and in college. When he and Zoey hooked up in their senior year at Lehigh he was really happy about it. She was a fun loving sexy brunette. She was a tight package who showed off her hot body wearing form fitting jeans and low cut tops. He had no complaints. She was smart, attractive, treated him nice and the sex was great. The worst he could say about her was she got anxious at times and was a little controlling, but who doesn't want things their way?
Zoey began to change after they graduated. Her anxiety increased with each of the big changes in lives. Leaving college, a new apartment, moving in together and starting their new jobs. Zoey was no longer a cool, fun loving girl. She decided she needed to be thin, fashion model thin. She dieted and exercised until all hints of womanliness were erased. Her round ass and chest peaches disappeared.
Her personality transformed as well. She went from nice to nagging, from friendly to bossy. His once sweet girlfriend now brandished a sharp tongue. And sex, well good sex was a distant memory.
When Mac mentioned that their relationship had changed, Zoey said, "Of course, it's different. School's over. It's time to get serious and put your beer bong away. We need to work hard and get ahead. We'll need money to get married, have nice cars and buy a house."
Mac was a laid back, easy going guy engaged to a type 'A' woman. He wanted nice things, but not as it was becoming obvious as much as Zoey did. It's funny that Mac was having problems with her strong drive to succeed because it had been one of the characteristics that he had initially found attractive in Zoey. He admired her 'go getter' nature because he lacked it.
Lately, he had been wondering if he was up to the task of holding a tiger by the tail. He had given her a pass for her recent behavior because six months ago when they were in college things were so great.
Mac was slow to angry and even slower to initiate change. He contemplated breaking up with her, but then he felt like such a dick for not being understanding about all the life changing events they had recently experienced. Also, he hated to give up on her because Zoey could suck cock with all the skills and enthusiasm of Jenna Jameson.
Zoey gave him a look of total exasperation for having to explain the evolution of relationships.
"Relationships go through phases." she explained, "Initially, all relationships are 'Hot'. Once the infatuation phase ends, you enter into a more mature 'Warm' phase."
She gave him a condescending smooch on the cheek. This peck on the cheek was what passed as physical intimacy for them today. Hot, sweaty, nasty sex was off the menu. Mac understood that relationships evolved, He was just upset that their relationship had changed so drastically. Mac didn't think that expecting sex more than once or twice a month was asking too much at age 23. "One more week..." Mac mumbled to himself, giving, but not announcing to Zoey's her deadline to shape up.
Zoey spoke in her 'I'm such a martyr' voice, "I need to at least put in an appearance at my boss's Toys for Tots party. Maybe I'll have a chance to talk with Michael about transferring to his unit. That's where the real money is being made."
*******
Mac drove them to Penn Station so they could pick up Mia, Zoey's 18 year old sister. She was a freshman at NYU and had taken the train to Philadelphia. They all hugged and kissed, Mac grabbed her duffle bag. Tomorrow they would all drive to Zoey and Mia's parent's house for Christmas day.
Zoey had insisted that they pick up Mia and take her with them to the party even though she would not know a soul.
Zoey had said, "It's efficient. Her train is getting in at 7:30 and the station is on the way to my boss' house." She wouldn't listen to any alternative plan.
"So what's new," Zoey asked her sister perfunctorily. Mac suspected the two weren't that close. He couldn't remember the last time Zoey had talk to her on the phone. Maybe it was because Mia was four years younger or maybe it was because that Zoey was now so focused on herself that she didn't make any effort to keep up with Mia.
"You know, the same....school," Mia replied coolly. She was annoyed that she couldn't take a cab to Zoey's apartment and just chill.
"Are you still seeing, uh, Charles?" she asked.
'"No." Mia replied briskly.
"Another one bites the dust," Zoey sang.
Mia gave her sister an annoyed look, but remained silent. Zoey said to Mac, "Mother called Mia a social butterfly because she flitters about from man to man never staying with one for very long."
