I know, she ain't what she used to be. She got kind of fat, and she's lost a couple a teeth. I guess her hair's startinta git kinda gray. On the plus side I like the way her tits swang under her t-shirt now. They're bigger than they was when she was younger but that ain't all bad.
Thing is, I ain't fucked her in a lot of years. At first I just couldn't stand the thought of it, she kind of went to hell after the kids came and I guess I wasn't ready for that, and then my dick seems to have mainly just stopped working. I'll get a hard-on every once in a while but it don't last, and I just don't get that excited about pussy much no more.
So I know Missy's probably frustrated as hell. I don't like to let her out of my sight so I know she ain't cheating on me, not that anybody would have her.
Last week I had a thing planned, me and a few guys go fishing. Well we call it fishing, we go drankin' in the mountains a couple a times a year. Teddy got a cabin way back up in there and we pretty much empty all the Jim Beam outta the liquor store in Benson and bring their whole inventory to the cabin. And it's usually all gone in a couple days when we head back.
Normally it's just us guys but Missy was asking me about it. I know she gits lonesome when I'm gone, and I don't really trust her anyway, so I asked the guys and nobody said there was nothing wrong with it, so I tole her she could come along.
She thinks we're fishing the whole time every year, but I guess this year she'd find out differnt. I hope she likes Jim Beam.
I tried to tell her, "Honey, we ain't necessarily going fishin' up there every minute, you know. Me and Teddy and Fishface do a little drankin' too up at that cabin."
"Oh," she said. "Well, I guess I figgered that, probbly. Y'all don't bring no whores up there or nothin', do ya?"
"Huh? Oh no, nothin' like that. We don't do nothin' but sit around and git drunk and sometimes fish. It's kinda fun but it ain't like that. You can come if you think you want to."
"Okay, good," she said. "Well shit then, I better figure out what t'brang. And we're gonna need sumpnta eat, do you boys think of that?"
I scratched my head. "Sure, there's a Whataburger about a mile down the road. We stop in there a couple times a day and we're okay."
I could see she was a-thanking. "Is there a kitchen at the cabin?" she asks me.
"Yeah sorta," I said. "They's a sink and a stove. I don't know if they work."
"Well maybe we can git some groceries on the way up there," she said.
Over the next few days Missy seemed pretty busy. I don't know how much stuff she thought she needed, you know, but she had a little suitcase and she was throwing shit into it, then she'd throw it back in her dresser and throw some differnt shit in there. It was kind of nice to see some spark in the old gal, acturly,
Finally Sattiday come and the two of us loaded up the truck. I had a wad a cash in my pocket for the liquor store and she had her suitcase. And a funny thing, before we left I noticed she put on some lipstick and stuff on her eyes. Didn't look half bad, I wondered why she never does that at home, just when we're going someplace. She even had a bra on, which I basically don't like as much cuz I cain't see them titties swangin', but they did look a little better up where they used to be. She had a dress on, stead of her usual whatever-that-is. I felt okay about brangin' my wife drankin' I mean fishin' with me. She knows the guys and everybody jokes around okay, I figured it'd be fine.
It was about two hours driving up there. It was funny when we get to the liquor store they's plumb outta Jim Beam. Old boy was laughing, "Was those yer buddies come through here? Hahaha they bought me out. Ain't nothin' left." He seemed pretty happy about it all. Also, I noticed he was eyeballin' Missy, which seemed a little strange to me but whatever. Gits lonesome up there, I reckon.
The guys was already about half drunk when we got there. They said hi to me and Missy and I paid 'em my share a the booze and had a couple of swigs while we brought our shit in. The cabin is just one room with three steel frame beds in it, 'n a table an a few chairs. They's a shower and all tell you bout that in a minute here. At least they ain't bedbugs er nothin', least they never was before. Looked like me and Missy was gonna share a bed, well we do at home, anyway, no big deal, she's got her side and I got mine.
They'd already picked up dinner, too, the Whataburger bags was on the table. We weren't quite hungry yet, so I had a couple of shots and poked around a little. Funny thang, Missy wanted a shot, too. She don't usuerly drank. But she knocked one down and then a nother and then anotherun. She give me one dumb smile, like I guess she figgered she was one a the guys now.
We went outside and I showed her around. They's an outhouse for shittin' in, otherwise we just piss on the bushes. And puke. "Where'm I supposed to go?" Missy asked, lookin' a little uncomfterble. "I hate to pee in that smelly old shitter."
"I guess behind a bush," I said.
"Well I cain't wait," she said, and she headed toward a little old weed over the other side of Fishface's Pontiac. "Oh my," she was saying, and she started trotting and then she stopped and looked at me. "Shit," she said. "Well let me finish up." And she pulled her underwear off in the middle of the lot and held them in her hand while she squatted down and peed in the dirt. She held it by the edge because them drawers was soaked with pee. She stood up and wiped her crotch with her skirt. "I best be faster next time," she said. "Where can I throw these?" We tossed them into the back a the truck where they'll dry up fore we leave.
"You got some clean ones to change into?" I asked her.
"Are you kidding me?" she said. "We're just gonna be here a few days. I ain't got room in that little suitcase for that."
I shrugged. "Yeah, makes sense," I said.
We went back into the cabin. The guys was sitting around. "Y'all won't believe this," I said, "But Missy don't got no underwear on."
"Huh, really?" Teddy says. "What, no drawers?" He's looking at Missy, like tryin to see through her dress like he got x-ray specs er something on.
"Yeah," she said. "Doc you shouldn't a said nothin'. That's embarrassing." She turned to the guys. "Yeah, I done peed myself after that long drive."
"Sure," Teddy said. "I done that before, too. But you got a bra on, don't you?"
"What's that have to do with it?" Missy asked, reaching for the Jim Beam. She took a hefty swaller.
"Oh nothin'," Teddy said. "I was just thankin', you done said you didn't have no underwear on, but you sorta do, really."
"I didn't say it," Missy says, pointing her thumb over at me. "He's the one that done said it."
I didn't have any defense. Of course I shouldn'a shot my fool mouth off. We talked about stuff fer a while and put our shit away in the cabin. Missy asked about a shower and I showed her where it was. This is pretty cool, the shower's outside but it has a door so you can get into it from inside the cabin. It's an old storage container or sumpn on its end that you can stand in, with a pipe runnin' through the roof into kind a coffee can with holes punched in it that makes the shower sprinkle instead a just dumpin' water on ya.
We were just talking and Teddy takes a big shot of Jim Beam and lookin at Missy he says. "Well, I probably shouldn't say nothin', but my wife cut me off about ten years ago, and I ain't actually seen a pussy since then."
Missy looked at him and looked at me, and back to him. "So whaddya want me to do, show it to you?"
Teddy looked a little embarrassed. "Oh no, Missy, nothin' like that. I understand, you being modest and all."
We were picking up the bottle just about as quick as the last person set it down on that table. I grabbed it and took a gulp, looking over at Missy, with her lips all red and everything.
Fishface had been settin' in a chair watching all this. "I ain't seen a pussy in five years," he said. Fishface was younger than us, and also had been in jail during a lot of that time.
"I get it," Missy said. "You boys want me to show you my hootchy cootchy, don't you."
The room was silent.
She looked at all our faces, and said, "I sure don't hear nobody sayin' no to that." She looked at me. "Doc, what do you want me to do? You're my husband, you git the say here."
My buddies were watching me. I said, "Sure, go ahead and show it to 'em."
She hadn't had a chance to move when Fishface said, "What about her titties?"
"Well now," I said.
But Missy interrupted me. "You guys wanna see these titties too? Lord knows Doc don't look at 'em any more, somebody might as well." She give me a look.
"Missy, tell ya what," I said. "Why don't you show these boys what you got under that dress. We don't normally have women up here fishin' ya know, I hadn't thought about it bein' enny differnt, but I didn't thank it all the way through, I guess."
Missy was guzzling the Jim Beam from the bottle. "I didn't mean to cause no problems," she said. "But these fellas seem a little lonesome, and actually I been a little lonesome too lately. I don't mind if they get a look at me. If it's okay with you."
She said this in a soft way, and I felt kind of sorry for her. It wasn't fair really to invite her up here with a bunch of guys, the only woman. There warnt nobody for her to talk with or anything.
