The next morning I told Dee that I was going to stay home all week, as I have to finish paper work on the new client. She took it well. I also asked her to take a few days off and spend some time with me. I wanted her to know what she was going to miss in the years to come. I wanted her to taste luxuries that she had never known. I wanted her to know what she was throwing away. Every time that she would think back on our days together the only question I wanted her to ask was "How could I be so stupid?"
"Do you love me?" This question took me by surprise. I had no idea what to say but then I did say something smart. "I love you today more than I will every love you for the rest of my life" She squinted her eyes and said, "Now, what is that supposed to mean?" "Its deep baby, its deep" I said in an almost comical tone. I just wanted this conversation to end.
I took her shopping that day and spent a lot of money getting her a lot of expensive dresses. I picked one out for her to wear on the weekend party. It almost went close to a bridal dress. I could see she was pleasantly surprised. Then I took her to the most exclusive restaurants in town. Will Smith was sitting at the next table and I could see Lee Majors sitting in a corner and I could also see how excited Dee was to come out to a place like this. I did take her out frequently but mostly it was to places we would meet friends.
The next step was to let her know what she could have had. Now, I am a man of modest habits and I do not spend much. In fact I was able to save a little form what I made working! This also meant that I never touched a penny that I made from my business. My bank account could sleepless nights to many and although Dee knew I was loaded she had no idea how much. I wanted her to get the idea.
The next morning I left my bank statement lying on the desk as I went to take a bath. It was a place I was sure she would find it. Later in the day I heard a recording of her talking to one of her friends.
"Di, you are going to flip out when you hear how much my darling Leroy has just in his savings account." Then she gave her an obscene amount. 'No kidding, I had no idea the stakes were so high when I went around screwing with Chris. I am going to end all my association with Chris till the time I am safely married to Leroy."
She planned to end all her associations -- for the time being. I was planning differently.
I called up Chris in the evening and asked him to meet me at a small diner near his office. We had met on a few occasions when he had come to drop Mary off to take care of me and had shared some small talk but he was kind of surprised when I asked him to meet me.
When I met him that day, I was almost on the verge of breaking every bone in his body. But I am a good son and I remember what my papa told me -- "Anger finds its best ally in a gentleman."
As we sat down I asked him if he had any idea why I asked him to meet me. He said that he did not have the faintest of the idea, but his voice betrayed him. I knew he knew I knew. I just came out in the open and told him to stay away from Dee and to make sure that Dee never finds out that we ever talked. I told him in detail what me and my basketball buddies (I lied, I do not play basketball) would do to him if I very found out he has met or talked to Dee again. He said that Dee called him in the morning and told him that she wanted to have nothing to do with him. I knew she did call him but her words were "I do not want to have anything to do with you till I am safely married to Leroy."
The bastard was lying to my face. Well he had been doing a lot worse behind my back so I guess, this was okay -- for now. I told him that if he did not keep his word Mary would also find out. That scared the hell out of him. When he left the diner he was just about as confident about his marriage as I was about aliens abducting me.
I called Dee up on her cell phone and asked her to meet me at the office of the real estate agent who had helped me look for my current apartment. When she got there I was already deep in conversation with the estate agent about a villa a few miles out of town. We drove out there and I really liked the property and thought that this would be a good investment to make.
Before we left the property I told the estate agent that my lawyer will be touch with him about the purchase of the property and also that I might want to buy it in the name of wife. This was the first time I had ever mentioned about marriage or wife in front of Dee.
As we drove off she asked me if we could afford the mortgage on the house. Bitch. She knew that I could buy the villa with hard cash any given day and she was acting as if she was not sure if I could afford it. Well, this was a villa she was never going to step again into. Then I called Mary from my phone and asked her if she could help Dee buy some new shoes and designer dresses for our trip to France the next week. She was most glad to help! I told Dee to spend as high as $10,000 and that she could charge it to her credit card and I would pay up later.
That night she came home with some beautiful designer garments. I jokingly asked her of she had bought insurance for them. She just smiled and she looked genuinely happy. I could see how much it was going to hurt her. I spread out the dresses on the bed and asked her to get us some red wine to drink and celebrate tonight.
When I was on my fifth glass I accidentally spilled wine all over her dresses and ruined them. It was heartbreaking for me. Nah, it was not. I was enjoying every minute of it. Now, here was a maxed out credit card that would keep her busy for the next year.
It was Friday night and I was not going to let the night end so easy. I finally spoke to her and told her that this amount was peanut for me and then showed her my bank statement when she acted as if she did not believe me. Then I took her out on the terrace and showed her the engagement ring that I had bought a few days ago. Then I told her all the dreams I had for her and me - two kids, a son and a daughter and a small villa on the outskirts of the town. I told her that I had waited all my life to feel completely in love and then I told her about the good times that we had together.
I took her back to the day when I told her for the first time that I loved her. I told her that I loved the way that she looked and smelled on that day. I could recall the dress she was wearing, the glint in her eyes and it hurt me a little as I thought how little she thought of these things.
I took her inside and switched on the music system as I sat down next to her holding her in my arms for one last time. Percy Sledge started singing "When a man loves a woman" and at that time I knew I was not going to walk out of this mess unhurt. I was going hurt as much as I was going to hurt her. The only good thing was that since I was already hurting there was nothing new that was going to happen to me tomorrow at the party but for her, it would be the first day of the rest of her life!
She stared to kiss me and although I could not bring myself up to it, I kissed her back. I relaxed as she started to nibble my neck. She slowly began to stroke my hard on. Lightly, she squeezed my balls. She lifted my hand to her breasts and let me feel them. Still grasping my cock, she lay back, away from me.
