Kim told him she was sorting out precautions, but unless they wanted to make a baby they had to
abstain
for the middle week of her first cycle. He didn't think she really wanted to make a baby. She also said she was going to wear her denim shorts with three buttons at the waist to bed for the whole week to stop getting 'sleepy raped', and they weren't allowed to do anything at all sexy, cuddles only, so put anything sexy right out of his head, and then they should sleep well.
After the first couple of nights he said the buttons dug into him while they was asleep. Kim answered 'not cuddling wasn't an option', so she came up with plan B. For Plan B they
would
play sexy games, 'just to get it all out of their system', and then she would put normal panties on and they should sleep well. That worked for a couple of nights and they had a pretty good time pleasing each other with mouths, tongues, breasts and good ole stumpy. But then he mucked up one night after she made him cum between her breasts, he used his tongue to make her sing, then he lay on her for a kiss and cuddle and before he knew what was happening they was fucking. And she wasn't stopping him, she had her hands on his hips holdin' him tight like she did sometimes. She looked lots like Libby did that time her nearly did her, which reminded him how lucky it was Kim stopped him poppin' inside Lib 'cause he knew Lib wasn't takin' any precautions… PRECAUTIONS! OH SHIT and he stopped. And Kim got wide eyed and said, "Crap! Don,
what
are we
doing
?... Did you come baby, we are fucking
hopeless…
?"
"No Sweetie, but, awe shit, there might be some stuff left from before."
And then she did some countin' with her fingers, got a pill box out and read the instructions, then did some more countin' with her fingers and after a bit she went down on him and he got another great blow job, so that turned out pretty good. And while she was sucking him she came up with plan C. She said she should be safe, but just in case this time they
both
had to wear shorts for a couple more nights, and take it in turns to take them off while they played. And she cut the buttons off and used some old shoe laces to tie them up. So they could sleep good.
More important was preparing for his first session with Sarah since she'd kicked him out. It was the first counselling meeting Kim had organised for him -- she said they would probably have to have three sessions. It would be at a meeting room at the court house, she said if he behaved himself, didn't get cranky, then he might not have to go to a proper court with lawyers asking him questions in public, And she said that the good thing about this meeting thing was the bosses wanted it over with -- just like he did –- cause no one made any money out of it and they thought it was better to do it before people got bitter.
The bad thing about it was that for the first meeting he had to pretend he wanted to stay with Sarah. That's sucked! Kim said to save around seven or eight thousand dollars he could '
Just suck it up'
. Kim also said who did he want as a support person, Sarah would have a friend there so he was allowed to too. Now Don never thought he was a clever person, but he did figure out that it would be uncourteous to ask his beautiful new girlfriend to sit at home while he went to a meeting and pretended he liked his wife, misconfusions could start that way. Girls like Kim were as rare as rockin' horse shit, he wanted to keep her. Speakin' about horses, he was thinking about trying a
duplicitous
plan. Kim had used that word a bit, it was a good word, she had explained what it meant by telling him a story about a couple she knew. "There was a girl see, and this guy has been fucking her witless for nearly a week, follow? And this guy might be moving in with this girl, still with me? And he's standing near this girl's bedroom door, she's nearly his girlfriend you understand, but not quite, and instead of saying like a man should '
I'm gonna sleep there.'
He asks this, ready?... "
Where do you want me to sleep?
"… still follow?
And
looking at her in a hey Pa I've lost my horse kind of way, well Donnie that would be
duplicitous
, and I would be really pissed off if a guy I cared about had behaved like that."
Except for the thing about the horse, it nearly could have been Don and Kim! Go figure!
Anyway, he thought it might help Sarah out too, meetin' Kim would help her to stop pretendin' she wanted him to move back home either.
Sarah's support person would be her best friend Jodi. Jodi was a good girl. She was married to one of Don's rescue friends Frank. Frank would have been a good man to have as his support person, a house builder -- not a suit -- but pretty tricky when it came to meetings and legal trickery. It wouldn't be very nice to ask Frank to sit against Jodi and fight her. And Frank was the only friend he thought could have been much use, oh, except of course Libby, but Kim and Libby seemed very polite to each other these days, too nice, didn't make sense. Often Frank worked out of town or late, and because Sarah was working late more and more, him and Jodi would team up to help each other to look after all their kids, he'd take them to the park to play football, or they'd go to parties and BBQs together. Made it easier, Jodi's boys were pretty energetic, a lot of work for a tired mum. Their friends would joke that Don and Jodi knew what each other were going to say just like they were married. He better tell Kim about that before she got cranky. It was bad enough that Kim thought he wanted to fuck Libby, let alone her thinking he wanted to fuck Jodi too!
It did turn out to be a interestin' day, Sarah walked into the meeting room at the court like she owned the place, hadn't even sat down when she hissed in front of everyone, "Don, no one else,
no one else,
would be
stupid
enough to bring their slut of a girlfriend to a
reconciliation
meeting. I'm lost for words, if she stays, we're finished!"
That didn't sound right, Sarah usually found some words when she needed them, and forgetting this was part of his own duplicitous plan for a minute he picked up a court pamphlets on the table and read; "Meetings are to be free from insults, name calling and other negative behaviour -- we're
finished
anyway Sarah, but if you speak about my girlfriend like that again, we'll have to leave this to the lawyers and the magistrate will be making the decisions… Is there any part of that not clear?...Sarah, can I speak plainer?... And also and as well I think ya better apologise to Kim, or
we
are going!"
Sarah couldn't always find words it seemed. Kim grabbed his arm, looked right at him with strong eyes –- looked hurt, never met a women that liked bein' called a slut yet -- "Honey, I
don't
need an apology, we've got bigger fish to fry… but I did really like that you insisted Sarah not call me that again."
Jodi put her arm on Sarah's and pulled her down into her chair pretty hard, "Kim… it was Kim wasn't it?... Hi Kim, I'm Jodi, and Sarah will not speak in that way again." Don was still getting' over surviving being rude to Sarah and living, didn't think you were allowed to talk to Sarah like that, and sure didn't think she would listen, but it seemed to work.
The meeting went about as he thought it might. Obviously Sarah would be pissed that Don had found himself a real live one. And even better, Kim treated Don just the same in front of Sarah that she did every where else. And Kim always listened so politely to what he said. And Kim thought he was smart sometimes. Don saw that now they wouldn't have to play silly games and pretend to 'explore reconciliation' as the court documents said he should have, that was good, that shit was out of the way. He would start making more plans, plans were good when they worked.
Kim and Amy had both told him at least twice each that it would be provocative -- Amy was learning good words too -–
provocative
, of him to visit Sarah's place when the kids moved home, so he didn't. But it had been two weeks since he'd seen them. It was good when Kim made Sarah agree to weekly dinner at Kim's place for the kids, he didn't mind he had to collect and drop them off. Sarah said no way to an overnight stay. Her problem with Don having the kids sleep "In that… that… that... women's house," was the moral example it set for Christy. Well that was an interesting thing to think on, Kim sure did had a good healthy liking for lots of love making, didn't think they made girls like that until he met Kim, but how could he explain that they would behave when the kids were around with out admitting how much they played up. Kim wasn't a slut, and she wouldn't run around naked while his kids were there, and she watched her language when other people were around. While he was thinking of what to say, Kim thought of something to say first, and told Sarah that they could have a debate about moral examples, especially the examples of
fidelity, a
nd
respect,
anytime Sarah wanted, anywhere she wanted. Kim guaranteed that Christy,
and
Mark, would receive as good or better moral example in her house as they would in Sarah's. And further if Sarah hadn't kicked Don out and changed the fucking locks it wouldn't be an issue, because he would be sleeping in Sarah's basement right now and seeing Christy and Mark every day… Kim was a good girl, he hadn't thought of that! This meeting was turning fun…
who knew
?
Kim also offered to have Sarah's mother, or Kim's mother, or Jodi, or Libby, or anyone else Sarah and Don could agree on visit to supervise if that was the issue. Don thought that would be a drag, he'd looked after his own kids thousands of times without supervisors, but he remembered to stay shut up, Before the meetin' Kim had said sternly that they must
never never ever ever
argue with each other in front of Sarah – it was another rule! She'd also said that if he fucked up and let Sarah see her when she was fragile and crying she might forget some rules, like the one about promising to look after his balls, and castrate him with the potato peeler. Kim's rules were different to his rules, her rules were real rules straight away, but he had to ask Kim if his rules were okay
before
they became real rules. Seeing Sarah had lost her words again Jodi asked for a five minute break. Through the window into another meeting room Don couldn't hear what Jodi told Sarah, but there was a fair bit of finger waving and head nodding by Jodi, and a fair bit of head shaking by Sarah. When they came back to the table, Sarah reluctantly agreed to a weekly dinner visit for the kids to Kim's, plus a weekend over night sleep at least three times each school term, and the kids could stay with him for half the next school holidays. He could take them camping if he wanted. Sarah had forgot about the supervisors, but he didn't remind her. And Don could see how clever Kim had been, he would never argue with Kim in front of Sarah.
The lawyer and the mediator didn't look like they thought Don and Sarah getting back together was any use any more, but they got excited about what Sarah just said about kids visits. They called it an IAA, an interim access agreement. And then they said those golden words, for every one to
have some coffee
