Scrolling through my Instagram feed after the game, I saw that someone had already uploaded and tagged my dunk "posterizing" Ernie.
"Dude, that was some serious Balls on Chin!" Kevin said, looking over my shoulder at my phone. "I can't believe anybody still hasn't figured out how to defend you after all these years."
I smiled at the compliment. It's true, nobody in our pick-up basketball group could hold a candle to me, least of whom Ernie, who I introduced to the group after I hired him at my company.
After hitting the showers, we all got dressed and got ready to grab a couple of beers at the local dive. But as I walked to my car, I was met by Ernie and his wife, Patty.
Patty was a sexy number, with a tight little body and springy breasts that could hypnotize when she walked. Ernie was punching well above his class when he landed her; well done to him!
"Hey Patty, what brings you here?" I said, as I slung my gear into my trunk.
"Well, Ernie and I wanted to talk to you about something," she responded. "Could we chat real quick?"
Oh shit, I thought. Is he quitting? Are they moving away? Is someone sick? A bunch of thoughts flew through my head as we took the quick drive to their apartment where Patty poured us all drinks.
It turned out to be something I would never have expected. Apparently, Ernie just wasn't able to satisfy his horny wife. They had discussed the matter, and agreed that as he was "under" endowed, she could pick someone else with which to have a one-time fling to satisfy her desires.
That someone was me.
"If you're interested, that is," Patty said shyly, as she studied her feet, awaiting my reaction.
"Of course I am," I said. "But why me?"
"Well, you're smart, you're handsome, you're athletic, all the things I admire in a man and...well, Ernie mentioned that you also have a rather large um..." she said, as her eyes drifted towards my groin.
"Ernie!" I exclaimed. "All that time in the showers and I had no idea you were checking me out."
He stared at the floor and said nothing. He did not want to be here, and I couldn't blame him. I changed the subject to spare him more humiliation.
