Beth looked out of their apartment window, eager to feel the warmth of the sun on her skin.
"It's too nice of a day to waste inside. What do you think about heading over to the park?" Beth asked, looking away from the window and into the eyes of her boyfriend.
"And what exactly will we be doing at the park?"
"I don't know, read a book? We've got plenty of those. Besides, don't you want to get some fresh air?"
Hold up. Don't you mean you think it's too nice of a day to waste inside? Because if you ask me, I think it's a perfect day to sit inside our air-conditioned apartment and watch the game with an ice-cold beer. It's a really important game, Babe," said Kevin, tilting his head to the side, as if his concluding sentence could sway her thoughts.
"What if we only stayed for like an hour?" she said with her cute little pout.
"Don't do the face. You know you have an unfair advantage?"
She nodded as she continued pouting.
She wouldn't relent. Once she had an idea in her head, it was game on. He was wrapped around her little finger, so he complied.
"Alright. Okay. I'll watch the game on my phone."
But now that they were at the park, she was regretting her decision. With her head resting in his lap, she noticed his phone was no longer in the proximity of his face.
That's when she observed him out of the corner of her eye. She followed his focused gaze and saw a curvaceous stranger.
She was walking along the path in a summer dress that covered her ass. She paused at a bench not too far from where they were lounging. Before she could set down her tote bag, a strong breeze lifted the hem of her dress, showing off her nude thong along with her ass. He licked his lips and pressed them together.
The woman sat down and pulled out a book. She diverted her attention and locked eyes with Kevin, throwing him an encouraging smile.
Noticing that Beth was looking up at him, he shook his head from his trance. He grinned down at her, not wanting to discuss the brief exchange, and kissed her forehead. He continued to sneak an occasional glance at the woman until Beth reached a boiling point.
Beth couldn't shake the thoughts that suddenly consumed her. Jealousy and curiosity crossed her, wandering her mind until she settled on a thought she couldn't let go. She wondered how she would react if she caught them in a compromising situation.
"Kev?" she asked, walking her fingers along his thigh.
"Hmm..What's up?" He said, feigning interest in the game.
"What do you think about her?"
"And who might you be referring to? He asked. He swiveled his head from left to right and shrugged his shoulders. His clueless act was terrible.
She rolled her eyes. "You've got to be kidding me. For godsakes, be fucking honest with me. You can't sit here and tell me that the woman over there isn't hot as hell," she said, pointing in her direction.
"Beth, you know it's not polite to point," he said, yanking her hand down.
"What? She can't see me."
"Beth, my sweet, I don't have a clue what you're accusing me of."
"Huh, well," she said, pointing at his bulge, "if that isn't a good indicator, I don't know what is."
He tried his best to conceal it.
"That obvious, huh?"
"Uh, yeah. Why don't you ask her what's up?"
"What are you getting at?"
"Let's see if you still got it."
"Wait. Are you giving me a hall pass?"
"If that's what you want to call it. You better get to it before you lose your chance."
