If you haven't read the first two chapters, please do so now. You need to know what "The Test" is all about.
I again would like to thank 'Gypsies' for editing this story and making it more enjoyable for all of us to read. Thank you, for all the comment. I really enjoy reading them.
DG Hear. . . . . and now the conclusion of 'The Test'.
*
I'm Mark and going to get married to the love of my life Karen. As you know we promised to abstain from sex till our wedding night. I've had a lot of temptations but have been able to 'Just Say No', it hasn't been easy but I want to prove to Karen that I can do it. I'm also quite paranoid that someone is out to get me sexually, and stop Karen from marrying me. I'm just hoping it's not Karen, she's just not that type of person, I hope.
I ran into Connie at the court house, I was there to testify at a trail. Thank God it wasn't a case that Connie was on. She is a terror in the courtroom, but a bigger terror in the bedroom. I've had some great sex with her in the last seven years. As I said earlier she would do it all.
She invited me to lunch. How could I say no to a former sexual partner and future sister-in-law?
We ate at a cozy upscale restaurant. She asked for a booth that was out of the heavy traffic area. She said she always gets what she wants. Well almost always, she wanted me again, just one last time.
I asked her about Karen, would she fuck her sister's boyfriend and future husband?
She looked at me and said, "Yes, I would. You were my boyfriend first and until you're married you are still fair game." I love my sister, but at the same time she has something I want, "You." I like many others girls fell in love with you. We all knew it was just sex for you. For us it was a combination of sexual fantasy and love.
I also feel scared for Karen. You say you love her and want to be only with her. That's not your style Mark. I don't think you will be faithful to Karen. You two will have an argument and you'll go out and fuck the first skirt you see. That will break my sister's heart. I would rather you just leave her now. It will hurt but she will mend. If you cheat on her after marriage she will never love again. She's not like me, a realist; I just take life for what it is. Karen is a romantic, she wants love, children, she wants family, the little cottage, and the faithful husband. She deserves that kind of man, I just don't believe it's you Mark. She believes most people are inherently good. We know better Mark. We see the scum everyday.
I looked at Connie saying what was in my heart. I love Karen; I want the same things that you mentioned that she wants, loving wife, kids, close family, and even that little cottage. I want to do my best to give that to her. Connie, the sex with you was the best, but there was always something missing even as wonderful as it was. You felt it; it's called 'love.' Karen is the only person I've ever felt both sexual excitement and love. I just have to hope that my love for Karen stays. I am going to do by best to love, and honor her.
With that said I stood up and left Connie sitting there as I left the restaurant. I don't like being away from Karen; the temptation is just too great. When I'm with Karen, it's only her that I want.
After talking to Connie I wanted to, no, make that needed to see Karen. I just stopped by her boutique, walked in went up to the counter and in front of her customer I took her in my arms and kissed her. Then looked at her smiling face and said, "I love you Karen. I just needed to tell you."
"With tears in her eyes she said, "I love you to Mark and I needed to hear it."
Her customer, an older lady probably in her fifties looked at us and said, "So you're Mark." This woman, who I didn't even know, told me, "No more playing around with other women. You have the best and nicest woman on the planet in your arms. Love her, savor her, and treat her like a goddess because she is one."
I looked at this woman who really seemed refined and said, "Yes, Madame."
Karen, looked at me and kissed me lightly again and said, "Mark, meet my mother, as you know mom, this is Mark."
I said how it was so nice to meet her and that I looked forward to dancing with her at the wedding.
She looked at me and said, "Well I can see why my daughters and their friends have always talked about you. You are a 'Don Juan,' a 'Casanova' and not to hard on the eyes either. All I sincerely ask of you Mark is after you marry my daughter, be honest and faithful to her, and never go to bed angry at each other."
I'll do my best Mrs. . . . I don't even know your name.
Evelyn Cousin is my name; just call me Eve, in less then two weeks you can call me 'Mom.'
Well nice to meet you Eve, or hopefully mom.
She said her goodbyes and left the store. I looked at Karen and said, "I just had to see you, I'm sorry for bursting in like that."
Mark, you can stop in and see me any time. While you're here I have something to tell you. I have to go to a buyer's convention for a few days. I'll be back before the wedding. Then I'm taking a week off after the wedding. I hope I need it to recover, and then she smiled.
Something is bothering me a little. Your mom's last name is Cousin? Is she related to the State Senator, George Cousin?
I told you I would never lie to you, yes Mark, she is related to my father, she married him, as she grinned.
Holy Shit, my future father-in-law is the State Senator. That kind of makes him my boss. No wonder you could find out everything. I then kissed her and said I would see her when she returned from her convention.
I went out with my friends since Karen would be away for a few days. None of us drove; we used a taxi because we expected to get plastered. We went from nightclub to nightclub, looking at a lot of tits and ass. The guys were trying to buy me a lap dance but I kept saying no.
