The Ungrateful Wife
Chapter 2 -- Curiosity Killed the Cat
Ironically it was my husband who first drew my attention to the fact that Richard had a really big dick. In a way you could say this was all partly his fault. Honestly I could have gone my whole life not having known that little detail, but once the cat was out of the bag well...you know what they say about cats and curiosity.
As I said in the beginning, I never thought we would actually be there in Minnesota the following summer. It was as if all the stars magically aligned to somehow drop Richard's big ol' dick in my proverbial lap...or at close to it. I never went chasing it. At least from MY perspective.
My husband had been super busy at his new job most of the year but come summer, things had finally slowed down and he was ready for a needed vacation. Out of no where Guen emailed us and a few mutual friends in a group email asking how things were going and wondering if we still planned to come out for a visit before summer ends. In a flurry of emails that took place in less than 48 hours, my husband and I, our friend Anna and our friend Tara all had flights booked for Minnesota and two weeks later we were getting picked up at the airport by a very grumpy Richard (minus Guen).
The four of us sat in awkward silence after a brief exchange of pleasantries and at least for my husband and I, we wondered if perhaps we weren't as welcome as we had thought. Eventually, however, Richard opened up on the two-hour drive to the lake cabin and let the flood gates wide open.
"I'm sorry for my bad mood, guys" he began after twenty minutes of silence. "Guen and I have been fighting all weekend and I didn't get any sleep last night. It really is great to see you guys and, don't worry, things will be fine at the cabin. Guen is excited to see you all."
"I'm so sorry to hear that," I was the first time say. "I hope everything is ok.".
And that's when Richard over-shared the nature of their argument.
"Guen just accused me of cheating on her with my ex," he grumbled. "She thinks that just because I said something nice about my ex for once that I have some sort of feelings for her still. I can't stand my ex and she should know that, but she's so insecure. Frankly, I'm sick of it. I've had a really hard time with being accused of cheating.". He paused momentarily before adding. "But we'll get over it. We always do "
As promised, things were just fine once we reached the cabin. Richard's mood continually improved as we got closer and closer and Guen was, as advertised, very happy to see us, doling our warm and squishy hugs all around and giving us all a tour of the two story cabin which was less a cabin than a fully functional large two story home. Anna and Tara agreed to share a room on the second floor with an overlook balcony over the spacious family room on the main floor and Jason and I chose the room directly across from Richard and Guen's room down on ground level.
Richard seemingly couldn't wait to show us all the cool lake-house toys he and Guen both shared. There was a basement full of water skis, inner tubes, inflatable water toys for children neither of them had, fishing tackle galore and a four wheel ATV that, while a little old, looked like it had been ridden hard and still would be fun as hell.
The "cabin" itself was located on a small green hill overlooking a massive private lake. From the big ceiling to floor picture windows of the family room Richard pointed out we could see a well-manicured walking path that cut through some dense foliage down to their large private dock. From our vantage point at the cabin we could see a large silver pontoon boat with blue leather or vinyl padded seats. Beside it, just out of view, he informed us, was his new high-speed fishing boat. Richard promised we'd all get a chance to go out on the speedboat and do some water skiing or tubing on the lake as soon as we were ready.
Without waiting for us to completely settle in, Richard insisted we get into our shorts and swimming suits and go take a dive into the lake. Next thing we knew Richard was gone and Anna and Tara went upstairs to settle in to their room.
I don't remember how much time passed but at some point my husband and I ended up sitting on the couch in the family room enjoying the view out the front windows as it started to approach dusk. The sunset was beautiful and the cabin / house was way beyond what we had expected. I thought the vacation already couldn't get much better. Holy shit was I so wrong.
Richard came in sometime later dripping wet from his dive into lake and chided everyone on not having come down and taking the opportunity yet. As he stood in the family room shirtless wearing only a pair of boat trunks Guen scolded him about getting water all over the house to which Richard simply dismissed it as not a big deal and stood there asking who wanted to go for a boat ride.
I was one of the first to respond. I was extremely excited to be on a speedboat and enjoy the water very much. As Richard called upstairs to the girls to see if they wanted to go I felt my husband tapped me on the leg discreetly.
