Susan lifts the steaming coffee cup to her moistened lips. Her eyes are teary but it may be from the onions she just peeled.
Her new friend from church, Carol knocks on the door. Susan gets up and lets Carol in. Carol brushes the tears from Susan's face. Carol implores her, "What's got you in such a funk girl?"
Susan replies, "Don forgot our anniversary. Not even a single rose to celebrate. But after church, Don goes out of his way to get coffee and donuts for a young lady to make her feel welcome because she is new to the church and not yet a member. I can't help but be hurt to see him fawning over this chick like they are on their first date. She is so young and beautiful."
Carol says, "That girl would be me. You know that makes me feel used by him."
"He is embarrassed to kiss me in public."
Carol replies, "I have a plan. Do you mind if I spank you while he watches to make it look real? It will be with my hand but we need to make it look worse than it really is. You just pretend like you're getting the strap and put in a lot of moans and groans for good measure. The idea isn't to cause you pain but rather to make him believe you are suffering. The sting will be no worse than when you take a warm bath after a mild sunburn."
"I trust you as though you were my wife. If I married a woman she would be you."
Carol replies, "Oh honey, you would be my bride for sure if I walked the aisle with a woman."
"Stay with me until Don gets home from work. Then hide in the closet while I get him ready."
When Don walks in, Susan undresses him and gets out the handcuffs. She says, "You like using these don't you, Don?"
Don looks like he is in seventh heaven. He lies down while Susan secures him to the bed. Carol emerges from the closet. Susan says, "Well look who is here, our friend from church, Carol. She and I were just talking about you."
