John's wife, dark haired Jill, was getting suspicious, mostly because John didn't pester her for sex anymore. She reached for him the other night and smoothed his back as he lay away from her and he just wiggled deeper into the covers and fell asleep. She had never been rejected before. John usually jumped at her slightest show of affection, but lately he couldn't care less, it seemed. Jill turned away and faced the wall, trying to remember the times that her husband didn't want to. It was a very short list.
On Saturday Jill was ready to go shopping but John was going to stay home. 'He had been doing that a lot lately too.' She thought. He never went anywhere with her anymore. He would be at that computer when she came home or not here at all and had sent the kids to her mom's. 'Was he having an affair,' she thought, 'or just out playing ball with the guys like he said?' He did look bruised and sore at times but he would be in a good mood; like a guy done playing football with the guys. 'Jill, you're being foolish' she told herself.
Jill looked askance at the PC screen. John was in the shower and had logged off. What would she find? she wondered. She clicked his screen icon only to be met by a password request.
"Damn," she said quietly.
She thought about her husband. He had certain tastes and likes but guessing his password would be impossible. She tried anyway. First the kid's names, then hers, she even put in "password" hoping he would be that simple.
John came downstairs dressed for his casual Saturday like normal. Jill stood next to the table and his laptop which was still secure.
"Well I'm off." She informed him and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
John sat down as she walked out of the kitchen and typed in his password. "Bye, Jill" He said automatically.
Jill was already rattling words in her head. He typed five characters then an enter stroke, she was sure of it.
John logged on to find a message waiting for him. Laura was asking for a phone call. She would never call him, not even on his cell when he was home. John hurriedly dialed the number on his cell
"Hello, Johnny," Laura answered.
"Good morning, Mistress." John responded.
"I guess New Year's Eve would be impossible?" Laura asked anyway.
John sighed sadly; he would love to be with her that night. "I would think so, my Mistress."
"I've never been to one." She confessed.
"Is it much different than the other monthly meets?" John wondered.
"Bianca tells me there is dancing, and a beauty contest for the slaves. They don't do any formal demonstrations, but couples may get on stage and do scenes as long as space is available."
"I'm sorry, Mistress" John was disappointed too.
"Not your fault, sweet boy." Laura said. "So, does she have plans?"
"I have no idea. I should probably talk to her about it." John admitted.
Laura was done. She didn't like discussing his wife. "Goodbye, Johnny."
"Goodbye, Mistress" John waited for her to hang up then closed his phone.
Jill got up for church on Sunday and got in the shower. As she stepped out she noticed John's phone on the charger under the sink. She knew he was still asleep, but she locked the door anyway. She snatched it up and checked his history. Someone named Laura called yesterday. Laura called earlier in the week. Laura called last week.
'Maybe Laura was someone at work.' She thought 'Other than yesterday's call, they seemed to come during the workday' Still Jill was suspicious. She put down the phone and got dressed.
John left the house to go running. He never did go to church with Jill and the kids. He would be gone for at least an hour. Jill saw it as an opportunity. She shooed the kids out the door. They can walk. she thought to herself. She moved the mouse on the sleeping PC and there was the login screen asking for a password.
"Five characters and enter stroke." Jill reminded herself.
S A R A H, she typed their daughter's name but it failed. R O G E R, her father's name. She couldn't think of anyone else in her husband's life with a five letter name. Then she remembered Laura. L A U R A, and the screen opened to his desktop. "Who the HELL is Laura!" She had to know now. Laura was important enough to be his password!
Jill quickly went through John's browser history, looking for anything suspicious and then through his favorites list. Her husband had a few BDSM sites and a theatre in Mansfield that needed a further look. Jill put a hand over her mouth. 'It was a club or something for these...perverts.'
"Oh my God." She said out loud.
She noticed they meet once a month and Jill did some cross referencing in her brain. 'John went to Detroit that weekend...at least that is what he said. Bastard'
"Calm down, Jill." She said to herself. "So far it's just sites and pictures."
She kept looking through his history and then through his files and even did a file search for "Laura", but found nothing about the woman. She looked back to the open web page about the theatre. They were having a New Years party. Maybe all this was fantasy for John and she was jumping to conclusions, but still, he was acting odd and she wanted to know why. Jill wondered if she should just confront him, but she had nothing but some web pages and a woman's name, who might be a co-worker. She checked the clock and rushed out to make it to church before the sermon.
That night John was working on sales reports and tabulating his commissions, when Jill walked in and interrupted him.
"Honey," She started sweetly. "What do you want to do for New Years Eve?"
John didn't look up. "Oh, I don't know. We could go out. We haven't gone out for New Years since the kids came."
"There's nothing special you want to do?" She was fishing for any clue.
"Hopefully, I won't have to go out of town." John laid groundwork for being with Laura instead, but it was too much to hope for.
That last statement pricked at Jill's ears. "Going out of town" is the kind of excuse a cheater would use. And he has been out of town, but she just smiled at him.
"That would be a shame." Jill was going to give him some rope. "But it is your job, I guess I would understand."
John looked up at her now. "Well, I doubt I would have to." John got up and gave her a peck on the cheek.
