I remember the great start to that morning, ATM card didn't work. I should have gotten my own checking account by then, but I hadn't had any problems really. See, I met Jenifer when I first moved here, six months ago, and she allowed me to move in with her as a Bunkie. One thing led to another and we became close and started dating. We were like best friends, I mean I was new to the area and Jen would introduce me to her friends and we'd go to their parties, it was cool. Plus, she'd help me with shit all the time. Like when she filled out my direct deposit information for my paycheck. True, she mistakenly put her account number and all my money was going into her old checking account, but it hadn't hurt anything she gave me her ATM card and I had full access, until that morning. Anyway, Jen was awesome and we shared everything, well almost, there was a side to Jenifer that I had no idea about.
I just went to work figuring I'd stop by the house later to see if Jen could fix the ATM thing. Oddly enough I work for Jenifer's father, she did not know about it before we became roommates, weird how some things just fall into place. At noon I met a client for lunch, I used what little cash I had and even borrowed a few bucks from one of my co-workers, embarrassing, but I couldn't get out of the office to get home. Afterwards, it was now 2:30, I decided to swing by the house and let Jenifer know that the ATM card wasn't working. I was going to even suggest that we change banks...ha ha. Little did I know...
I pull into the drive and see a truck and remember that Jen had called in a guy to give her an estimate on some remodeling she wanted to do. It was a handyman from a neighboring town. No one I knew, but she said she went to high school with him and known him all her life. I let myself in and go upstairs calling for her. I get to the top of the stairs and this black guy, completely naked just steps out of the bathroom. He was about 3 inches taller than I, I'm 6 even, he wasn't overly muscled bound, but you could tell he spent a lot of time toning up his body. I could see he wasn't cheated in the man hood department, well formed and cut. Like it matters, but then he was naked. Jenifer came out of the bedroom in a robe breaking my moment of shock.
"What the hell!" I exclaimed.
The black guy just said "Hey, I didn't know she was involved with anyone, guy. She never said a word!" He seemed rather apologetic and Jen was still tying off her robe, red silk, very sexy.
I was trying to recover and be strong so I said "Dude, you should get the fuck outta here!" I added a "Jesus Jen..."
She cut me off. "Wait a minute, you can not throw out Jeff; this is my house" she said. "You got some nerve Joe"
I stammered "Look, I thought we were exclusive, geez Jen."
She turned totally cold on me and said "Maybe you should leave"
I suddenly remember why I had come home early "Look, I stopped by because the ATM card isn't working, I can't get to my money."
Jen smiled, "I know, I turned it off. You should go, me and Jeffrey got things to do."
Then Jeff pipes in "Maybe I should go, you two obviously have an issue here."
"You don't have to go anywhere Jeff this guy don't own me and I will not be pushed around, wait until he finds out I drained the account..." She laughs. I looked at her like you're kidding and ran down stairs to the kitchen and grabbed my laptop and went out the front door. I sat in my car and looked up the bank account. Sure enough everything was gone and I had nothing. On top of that, all my stuff was in the house. I was in a dilemma. On one hand, I could just start the car and get the hell out of there, but everything I owned was in the house, plus she took every cent I had, where was I going to go?
I got out of the car and went up to the door; I could see her and "Jeff" standing inside peering out the window. I tried the door, naturally it was locked. I knocked softly.
"What do you want?" Jen sneered.
"Look Jenifer, all my stuff is in there, I don't have any money, I just wanna get a few things and I'd really like my money so I can find a place." I say as nice as possible. I was fuming, but knew I was beaten. She really had me over a barrel.
"First off, you have no right to speak to my guest like you did; secondly, this is all mine and I can do what I want with it! But, I understand your predicament, so if you apologize, I'll let you back in."
I was aghast. Why should I apologize because she couldn't keep it in her pants? So the guy was attractive, big deal. I wasn't so bad, I stayed in average shape, played ball when I could and ran for fitness. I was pretty good in the sack, too and I wasn't small by any means, he was bigger, but not by too much.
"Look, I'm sorry for losing my temper, but I never expected this." I say.
"That's not very convincing and you are deflecting, joey, now try to be more convincing or you stay out!" Jen knew she had me.
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry for losing my temper; may I please come in to get my things?" I tried to beg.
"Not bad, take your pants off and get on your knees, I don't want you trying something stupid" She ordered.
"Please Jen, my pants??? I'm not going to do anything stupid"
"Take them off or forget it, you've already displayed anger and I don't want any funny business...underpants too, maybe you'll learn to quit arguing."
I could tell she meant it and I really needed to get back inside, I had a stash of cash I kept for emergencies. I take my pants and underwear off and fold them neatly,
"Now request to enter my home, joey"
"Please Jen, may I come in" it came out so natural it startled me.
