My Horny Housewife Harem
Part 15 of 16
****************************************
Carlos was a shy, fearful virgin when he enrolled in college. Then he met an older woman who made him a man. She also gave him some good advice: instead of looking for romance with clueless girls his age, seek out married women in sexless marriages. His horny housewife harem taught him the ways of erotic love.
All 16 chapters of this tale have been written and will be posted just as quickly as the good folks at Literotica can review them. Here in Part 15, Carlos saves Rita and gets revenge on an old enemy.
****************************************
During the next few weeks, the lawyer made progress on Rita's divorce. Phillip was served papers in prison, and the court scheduled a hearing when the divorce would be granted. Phillip couldn't do anything to stop it, but his parents hired a lawyer who tried to slow things down. He seemed to think that if he could get a face-to-face meeting with Rita, he could bully her into remaining married.
Our lawyer went to court with copies of the nasty, threatening letters he sent to Rita. Based on those letters, the court granted a restraining order that forbade Phillip from going near her. It specifically ordered him to stay away from her home and place of employment.
Despite the order, the first thing Phillip did after he was released was bang on the door of Rita's apartment. Because she was living with her parents, Rita wasn't there, so she managed to avoid a confrontation. Her apartment manager had to call the police so they could chase him away.
Phillip figured out where Rita was, so he went over to her parents' house and demanded to see her. Rita's Mom called the police, and her Dad got a shotgun and fired it in the air when Phillip wouldn't leave. The cops placed Phillip under arrest for violating the order, and they gave her Dad a citation for discharging a firearm. That citation actually worked in our favor. Cops tend to take domestic violence more seriously when guns are involved. They locked Phillip up overnight and notified his probation officer that he'd violated a court order. Twice.
For a few weeks, we all worked together to shield Rita from a confrontation with Phillip, but there was no way to avoid the fact that the two of them had to be present at the hearing where Rita would be granted her divorce. Rita's parents and I attended the hearing, hoping our presence would deter Phillip from accosting her.
It didn't work.
"Rita! Rita! RITA!!!!!" Phillip yelled the moment she walked into the courtroom. "I need to talk to you!" he said.
"She doesn't want to talk to you, asshole!" Rita's Dad said. "Leave her the fuck alone!"
"Baby, we need to talk! Now! Before this hearing!" Phillip said.
At that point, a police officer walked up to Phillip and told him to sit down and shut up. "If you want to say something, relay it through your attorney," he said. I later learned that cops are almost always stationed inside courtrooms that handle divorce cases. Those hearings can trigger strong emotions. The presence of a police officer tends to deter people from acting out.
I also noticed that there were several security cameras in the courtroom. That made sense. If somebody got violent, it would be helpful to have a video of the altercation. As I thought about this, I reflected on the fact that Phillip was a felon who'd already violated the terms of his parole when he disobeyed the court order forbidding contact with Rita. One would think he'd be smart enough to avoid any new trouble. I looked at the cop, and the cameras, and felt confident that Rita would get her divorce and we'd be able to get her away from Phillip without further troubles.
That's not what happened.
The judge followed the procedures necessary to grant the divorce. Phillip's lawyer objected repeatedly, but it was all for show. In our state, if a person wants a divorce, they have that right. Period. It was obvious that Phillip asked his lawyer to stall, but the judge wasn't cooperating. Maybe she read the police report about Phillip's arrest, or the court order forbidding contact. For whatever reason, the judge declared the case resolved, granted the divorce, and used her gavel to close the hearing.
It was over. Rita was divorced. Finally.
But Phillip wasn't through. As soon as the judge finished, Phillip jumped up, ran over to Rita, and yelled at her. "You can't do this to me, bitch!" he said. "You're supposed to be my wife!"
Rita was terrified. She grabbed my arm and huddled next to me.
"What is this dirty spic doing here!?" Phillip said. "Rita, who is this guy to you!?"
I swear that I did not plan what happened next. It was just pure luck.
Phillip looked like he was burning with anger. I remembered that he'd punched me many times when we were teenagers, and I could tell he'd like to do it again. Seeing that anger triggered a wave of the same fear I'd felt years earlier as a kid.
Suddenly, I realized that it would be a good thing if he punched me. If Phillip assaulted me there in the courtroom - in front of a judge, a cop, and all those cameras - it might be enough to send his sorry ass back to prison.
So I leaned closer. When our faces were just a few inches apart, I did something I'd never been brave enough to do when we were teenagers. I looked into Phillip's eyes and spoke so softly that only he could hear it.
"Who am I? I'm the guy who was fucking your wife while you were sucking your cellmate's cock,"
I whispered.
That did it. I'd thrown gasoline on a smoldering fire. Phillip reared back and punched me in the face. I kept my arms at my side so everybody could see I never touched him.
The punch hurt. It hurt a lot. But it didn't hurt enough to prevent me from feeling thrilled that I'd managed to provoke him. I went down to the floor and pretended to be unconscious.
My eyes were closed, so I didn't see what happened next. But I eventually got a chance to watch the video, which showed the cop wrestle Phillip to the ground, put him in handcuffs, and haul him off to jail. I knew that the cops would file more charges against him if they thought I was seriously injured, so I remained still and silent until they called an ambulance. Rita and her family were pretty worried about me, and I felt bad about that, but I knew it was important that I convince everybody that he'd hurt me.
What am I going to tell the docs at the emergency room?
I wondered during the ambulance ride. I needed some plausible story to convince everybody I was injured.
I opened my eyes, looked at the paramedic, and said I had the worst headache of my life. "Do I have a concussion?" I asked.
"Well, the symptoms include a headache," he said. "Do you have a feeling of pressure in your head?"
I didn't, but I said I did.
"How about nausea?" he said.
Nope. But I put my hand over my stomach and asked for a barf bag.
The paramedic gave me a bag and asked "Do you remember being injured? People who get concussions can't always remember how it happened."
I remembered every detail, but I claimed to have forgotten.
"Yeah, that sounds like a concussion to me," he said. "Tell the doctors. They'll figure it out."
I reviewed the symptoms in my mind.
Headache. Pressure. Nausea. Memory loss. Headache. Pressure. Nausea. Memory loss.
By the time we got to the hospital, I had my story straight. They wheeled me into the emergency room and moved me to a bed. When I saw the doctor coming, I held the bag to my mouth and pretended to gag.
"What happened to you?" the doctor asked.
"I don't remember," I said. "They tell me that I got punched, but I have no memory of that. All I know is that I've got the worst headache ever."
"Uh-huh," the doctor said. "And you're nauseated, right?"
"A little bit," I said. "Fortunately, there's nothing in my stomach right now. If there was, I'm sure I would have puked all over the place."
"What else is going on?" he asked.
"It feels like my head is going to explode. Like there's a lot of pressure," I said.
"Pressure. OK," he replied. "Are you sure you don't remember what happened?"
"I can tell you that this morning I went to a court hearing for my girlfriend," I said. "She was trying to get a divorce. I remember that her husband was very angry. I don't remember anything else. Do you know if the judge granted her divorce?"
"I can't help you there," the doctor said. "How's your vision? Do you have trouble focusing? Is there any double vision?"
Uh oh. I had no idea if vision problems are common with concussions.
What do I do now!?
I wondered. I stalled by pretending to gag into the barf bag again.
I decided it was safer to avoid claiming a symptom that might not be relevant. "My vision is fine, doctor," I said.
"Well, that's good," he replied. "I'm going to run some tests, but it appears that you have a concussion. Try to stay awake. I don't know how severe your injury is, but it might be a bad idea to go to sleep."
He ordered X-rays. A brain scan. A bunch of blood tests. He gave me pain pills for my "headache." I didn't want to take the pills, but I couldn't think of a believable reason to reject them, so I swallowed them. Pretty soon I felt very mellow.
I was waiting for the test results when Rita and her parents showed up. Rita was frantic. I felt bad that I put her in a situation where she was worrying about nothing.
"Carlos! Oh God, Carlos!" she said. "How are you doing!? What does the doctor say!?"
"The doctor thinks I might have a concussion," I said. That was true. He did think that. "But I feel fine. Really. They're running some tests, but I'm sure they won't find anything to worry about."
"I'm so sorry this happened!" Rita said. "Phillip wouldn't have attacked you if you hadn't been helping me!"
"This is not your fault, babe," I said. "Phillip did it. You could not have done anything to stop him. And I'm fine!"
"You don't look fine!" she said.
