Lily snapped at me when I instructed her on how to properly handle my car. When she threatened to leave me on the side of the road I sat back in the passenger seat, allowing the wave of intoxication to carry me away from what drove me to drink in the first place.
It was getting warm in the car so I rolled the window down. At night the smell of the city changed to something almost romantic. It could have been because the sun was no longer heating up the filth in the sewer lines. Or, it could have been the wind that changed direction in the evenings and blew through the country orchards, picking up the aromas of turned earth and opening blossoms. Whatever it was, it made me chatty and a little aroused. I rambled on, ignoring Lily's dismissive uh-huh's and yep's.
"I know I'm drunk. But maybe we could..." I knew my hand flopped down into Lily's lap, but I intended it to be a caress, the kind of touch that would make her open her legs out of desire for more. Instead, Lily clamped her thighs closed, fast and tight.
"Hey," I said, "Come on. We're close to Evan's Park...for old time's sake."
"I'm taking you home." Lily laughed then flung my hand back at me.
I shut up. The wind whipping up my hair lulled me.
"Looks like you've got a welcoming committee."
I must have dosed off because when I worked my eyes open I was looking at my driveway and the two cars parked in it. One was Danna's and the other was Marissa's.
"What the fuck is this?" I grumbled.
"Let's find out."
I stumbled up the walk. Lily steadied me. I was about to find my keys when the door swung open. Standing in the doorway was Danna, looking too calm considering Marissa was seated on the sofa in the living room.
"Danna," I said then leaned in to kiss her. She allowed my lips to brush her cheek. That was a good sign.
All of the lights were on, making my eyes hurt while I looked at Marissa to judge her mood. She sat expressionless, legs crossed and her hands folded matronly in her lap. That concerned me. I tripped over the threshold; both Lily and Danna caught me. I shook them off and used my wobbly legs to carry me to a chair across from Marissa.
"Fuck I need a drink."
"You've had enough it looks like," Marissa said.
I'd thought I'd said that to myself. I surveyed the room. Danna had secured the door and Lily walked out of the foyer to stand a clear distance away from Marissa. Neither woman spoke to the other, though they did exchange glances that could have killed them had it been possible. Each woman had a distinctive look. Lily was cute with her pixie hair cut and delicate features. Danna was alluring. Her frame was fit and statuesque while Marissa was smoldering with her dark hair, dark eyes and all too dark intentions. I was looking at my past and present and had no clue how my future was going to come out, but as I looked at each woman I was struck by how each one had pleased me at different times and in different ways.
"Fuck it. Let's pour a few rounds and get naked."
No one said a word and I hated how the alcohol had eroded the filter on my mouth. I caught a smile creeping across Lily's lips.
"Yeah. This is weird," Lily said, "I gotta go. I've done my part."
"Thank you so much for driving him home, Lily," Danna said as she walked Lily to the door. They exchanged a brief hug. I wondered if Lily might have wanted the hug to last longer so she could feel Danna's tits against her. I smiled.
With Lily gone Marissa spoke, "I told you where he'd be." Marissa's expression went from blank to keen satisfaction. I thought I saw a canary feather sticking out from her lips.
"I've had enough of you trying to come off like you know Paul better than I do."
Marissa laughed. "Okay, doll. We'll just pretend that he didn't go running off to Lily...like I said he would and we'll forget all about him fucking me in his car...like I said he would."
"How could I forget? I saw it with my own eyes."
I had been looking from Danna to Marissa like I was at a tennis match and maybe the back and forth shook up something in my head because I thought my old girlfriend had just admitted to my current girlfriend that she'd had sex with me.
"And you were supposed to back off." Marissa rose from the sofa and crossed the living room to stand uncomfortably close to Danna. "Admit it, doll, with me around, Paul's just not that into you."
"That's funny. When he came home that day he was
way
into me on the dining room table."
Danna and Marissa continued to exchange quips, a verbal joust that went on while I tried to muddle through my foggy brain to put together what they were talking about. There was no way that Danna could have been there when I'd fucked Marissa. We were in my car in a parking garage with no one around...except there was a moment when we heard footsteps while Marissa was perched so deliciously on my cock, riding me like never before. She had looked at the person walking by. The panic of being busted by Danna stuck in my throat.
"I need a drink."
They didn't hear me. I made my way over to my liquor cabinet and poured another drink. It occurred to me to offer them one. I looked over to see them, speaking vehemently, Danna with her fists clenched at her sides and Marissa with her hands on her hips, a cold smile on her lips. I had blocked out what they were saying and simply watched them go at it. My heart rate increased. I could feel the tension, even from across the room and it excited me. I wanted them to tear at each other's clothes and man handle one another.
"Do you think we could get a kiddie pool and tons of Jell-O at this hour?"
