"He has a what? He did WHAT?!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was my worst nightmare come true.
"He has a girlfriend, sweetheart. And he told her that ya'll fucked. I didn't stutter." My fiancรฉ's tone said that he wasn't taking this nearly as seriously as I was.
It had been less than a month since I had slept with his best friend (the best man for our wedding) at our engagement party. No big deal, my lover and I are swingers and he knew my intentions long before anything had ever happened. But that his friend was involved with someone else...well this was news to me. That he'd had a girlfriend at the time we slept together, and he had neglected to tell me...that was unforgivable.
"You KNOW I never would have helped him cheat! He knows that I'd never...FUCK! Where is he? I'm gonna kill him!" I grabbed my keys off the dresser and headed for the door.
"Babe? Just a thought..."
"WHAT?" I turned around, sending daggers with my eyes.
"I think it would be counter-productive for him to see you, er, dressed like that," my fiancรฉ replied, trying to stifle a laugh.
I looked down, and had to laugh at my own stupidity, as I had been ready to go scream at his best friend while completely in the nude. My sweet lover had chosen to first fuck me, and then tell me of his friend's indiscretions. Giggling, I climbed back into bed.
I took a moment to collect myself, and then said, "But seriously, though. What happened? When did he get a girlfriend? Why would he cheat on her, and then tell her about it?"
"It's kind of a long story. He met Sarah four months ago when he was visiting his parents. They hit it off, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, about this time, you told me that you wanted to fuck him. I didn't know he was involved, so I said sure. He came home, and we approached him about the fucking. He said noโ"
"Yeah, yeah, I know that part, silly!"
"Fine. Blah, blah, blah, ya'll fuck. Meanwhile, Sarah is getting pretty lonely up there in Illinoisโ"
"His parents live in Illinois?"
"Can I finish? Sarah was getting lonely in Illinois, so she decided to give him a call. This was about a week ago. During the call, she said he seemed really distant, and he said she was crazy. She was like, 'What's that supposed to mean?' And he said something like 'It means you're crazy.' So she said he was lousy in bed, and he said, 'Oh, yeah? My best friend's fiancรฉ doesn't think so!'"
"HE SAID WHAT?!"
"Yeah, that was kind of her reaction, too. So anyway, she's coming down here, because she doesn't think they should break up over the phone."
"Oh...oh my god. He's nuts. And she's nuts. Oh my god! Does she know where I live? Fuck! FUCK! This is very, very bad." I tried to wrap my head around the situation, but I couldn't. "I have to go talk to him." I got up to leave again, and almost walked out naked again, but my lover called me back and set me right before I got out the door.
