I explained about my further questioning of my wife and how it hurt me when she couldn't remember the details of last night. Jackie looked deeply into my eyes and said, "Michael, you don't need a massage therapist, what you need is a psychiatrist . . . or maybe a good bartender." We had a good laugh over that. She cupped my face in her hands then softly pulled her lips to mine. She held them there so tenderly my mind raced. Wasn't she supposed to teach me to fuck?
My hand instinctively went to her breast but Jackie pulled it away. Looking at me with a truly caring smile Jackie said, "Michael, just talk today, remember." I nodded. Then she asked, "So tell me how things are progressing with your other two friends. Are you learning to fuck them?
Shaking my head I said, "Lissa won't be a problem but with CeCe I'm not sure. You on the other hand are a conundrum because you are different from time to time."
Jackie looked me at me so deeply then said, "Michael, it's just that I care about you so much. You are such a good man with a wonderful heart and I'd hate to see it broken. I also don't want to get a call from Vickie telling me that you've played so hard with all of these ladies that you've had a heart attack and died. Can you tone it down a little?"
I chuckled, then said, "Yeah, I guess four or five times a week is a little much for a guy my age, isn't it?"
Jackie gasp, "What? Are you serious? Michael, you're going to kill yourself."
I smiled and kissed her again then said, "Yeah, but what a way to go."
Jackie pushed me away playfully saying, "You men, you're all alike!" I happened to see the clock on her mantle and realized it was after 4:00 and told her I had better get going. We said our good byes and I headed for home.
Walking into our kitchen, Joe greeted me, his tail wagging 90 miles an hour. At least someone was glad to see me at home. I found my wife in her recliner, watching television and playing games on her tablet. I turned to walk away and she must have noticed my movement then said, "Michael, you're home."
"Hello my love," I said, "How has your day been? More being nice than really caring.
"Well you missed Jeffery and Kelly," my wife said, "They were asking about Chad. Since I had received a text earlier from Cynthia earlier that Chad was home and I told them that everything was going to be just fine."
I gritted my teeth and had my hands on my hips and rather loudly said, 'Vickie you're incredulous you know. It just means that they don't have enough evidence to charge him right now. Verizon probably verified that his phone was home all night, but Chad could have purchased a burner phone. Hell I know if I was in his place, I would have."
"But Cynthia and the twins told the officers he was home," my wife said.
"And you don't think that our daughter and grandsons would have lied to keep Chad out of jail?" I said. "I'm still upset at her for lying to me for all those years. As far as I'm concerned, not telling me and allowing me to be an unwitting cuckold was the ultimate betrayal by her. Goddammit, by both of you!" I spat. I was pissed.
"M . . . M . . . Michael, you're not going to forgive me even though I've allowed you to play with those other ladies?" my wife asked.
I thought my head was going to explode. "Yeah, right!" I said almost yelling, "Now that I'm seventy fucking three, you let me have a hallpass. Maybe if you'd given it to me twenty five years ago when I was still young and virile it might have made a difference. Hell, now I'm taking Cialis in order to try to keep up with these women. Now Jackie is worried that I'm going to have a heart attack and die while I'm screwing one of them. Tell me my wife, how the hell would you feel if I was in bed with one of them and did have a heart attack and die? How would you explain it to Jeffery and Kelly, our friends, our pastor? Would you tell them that you had given me your permission? Would you tell them that it was your idea so that it would ease your conscience over haven cheated on me all those years ago? Would you tell them about all the times Tom fucked you in our home and on our kitchen table or that you let him and his friends use you like a cheap whore fucking you in all your holes in his apartment? Tell me, WOULD YOU?"
My wife's tears were a torrent now as she dobbed tissue after tissue to stop the flow. Then Joe came up and nuzzled my leg, wanting attention and I reached down to scratch his back and rub his ears then said, "At least someone in this house still loves me." At that, my wife jumped up, headed into our kitchen and grabbed her purse. The next thing I knew I heard her car tires throwing gravel as she tore out our driveway for heaven knows where. I filled a glass with ice then almost to the top with sour mash and went into the den and turned on my computer.
There were two new videos from CeCe. Damn that girl could get nasty with her videos. Fighting the urge to jack off, I read the rest of my emails and dispatched the unwanted garbage. It was a little after 8:00 and my stomach was telling me it was time to eat. I tried to call my wife but it went straight to voicemail. Her phone was off. I went to our refrigerator and found some meatloaf. Was that four or five days ago we had it for dinner I wondered. It wasn't fuzzy so I made a sandwich and gave the rest to Joe. Putting away the mayonnaise I happened to spy a bottle of port near the back and pulled it out. I remember opening it months ago but for some reason, we had never drunk any of it. I took the bottle, a small glass and the sandwich and headed back to my computer.
I sat down and played solitaire as I ate my sandwich and worked on that bottle of port. Joe laid under my desk, at least he was there to keep me company. At 11:00 I called Rebecca. I could tell she had been asleep. I asked, "I'm sorry to bother you this late but you haven't happened to see Vickie tonight, have you?"
