I got the idea for this story from a YouTube video title I saw.
This story may not be reproduced in part or whole without the consent of the author.
Melonie, my girlfriend and me Dave
Kaz Mike, Married four years.
Debbie Phillip Married three years.
Wendy alone.
We were out having drinks with friends on Friday evening, it was something we often did. We had a few and there was lots of laughter. There was Debbie and Phil, married a few years. Kaz, her husband, Mike of four years, he was still working and would join us in a bit. Wendy, in between girlfriends and Melonie, my girlfriend of two years who had moved in with me nine months ago and me, Dave.
We just seemed to congregate, some of us had been to school and college together, others worked together and others were partners. We did lots of stuff together, sports, hobbies. The girls naturally went shopping. We even went to each other's work parties. We were an eclectic bunch.
I was waiting for Mike to turn up as I had a small jeweller's box in my pocket with an engagement ring in it,I was going to ask Mel to marry me.
Everyone was happy, there was an expectant air about the table centred on Mel. Did they know what I planned?
It was my round and I was at the bar. I could hear Debbie laughing, she was the loud one in our group, nothing seemed to faze her, and everything was a joke. Debbie was always the one waving her arms about. It was what she did to draw attention to herself.
She annoyed me sometimes. I saw she had her phone in her hand, I hope she wasn't recording. She always had that phone on her, she lived by it. I know it pissed Phil off at times too. It was really annoying when she would ask you a question and then ignore you when her phone bonged a notification.
I headed back to our table with the first three drinks, I had asked the barman if I could take these three whilst he poured the others, he nodded as he topped up my Guinness. I had not paid yet.
Debbie was laughing, "Here he comes the little beer delivery toe sucking simp." Kaz and Mel joined in her laughter. Wendy smiled and Phil just looked embarrassed, he had been the brunt of his wife's jokes before.
He recognised the look on my face.
Looking at Mel. "So you are sharing our intimate details with our friends now?"
"It's okay sweetie I was just telling them how 'energetic' you get after you have washed my feet and nibbled my toes."
Debbie spoke up. "Come on Dave, under the table, I would love a foot rub, I wouldn't bite them though they are a bit smelly, mind you, you might like that, have you got a foot smell fetish as well."
Kaz spoke up. "I've got a particularly juicy big toe on my left foot in need of your tongue or teeth, get you all revved up for Mel later."
They all laughed loudly at her comment, including Mel. Wendy and Phil not so much as the others.
Yes I did have a foot fetish, Mel and I talked about it a bit, she was okay with it as she got the benefit. But I didn't want it public knowledge, the same as she probably wouldn't like me spreading around what turned her on.
I looked at Mel. "Anything else you want to tell them?"
"Oh I am sure there are other secrets I might let slip." She said laughing.
Debbie leaned across the table and touched Mel's hand. "Oh come on what dirty kinky secrets have you got on our little kinky simp, does he take it up the arse too?"
That caused another bust of laughter.
By now Phil and Wendy were giggling. Laughter is infectious.
I walked away, not to the toilet, not to the bar. Straight to the door of the pub. I got there, turned and looked back. All five were in fits of laughter. I do not think they had missed me.
I went home and sat there thinking if she was going to talk to people like Debbie about our intimate secrets, did I want to marry her? The answer was No, the next question was did I want to keep seeing her? I loved her but she overstepped the boundary. Let's see what she says when she gets in.
I was expecting my phone to ring, nothing. Did they not even wonder where I was?
It got to half past ten, nothing. I was getting angrier now. Did she hold me in that low esteem, that she didn't wonder where I was.
Opening up some bin liners I went upstairs and started putting her clothes and toiletries in them. I took the ring out of the ring box and put the box on top.
I went to the front and back door and locked them and went to bed. Not that I was going to sleep.
It was 11:30 when I heard a car pull up at the front and then drive off. I assumed it was a taxi. Shortly after that there was a beating on the front door and ringing of the doorbell. It went quiet and I heard the back gate rattle and banging on the back door. That was when Mel probably realised she was locked out. She came round the front again where our bedroom was. This time when she started ringing the bell I opened the window from the bedroom and looked down at her and said. "I thought you had gone to Debbie's place to carry on taking the piss out of me?"
"It was just a laugh, a bit of a giggle."
"So, our sex life and humiliating me is just a laugh now, is it?"
"It was just a joke; I didn't mean anything by it."
"If you didn't mean anything by it, why did you share intimate details with friends, especially Debbie you know what she's like. I would never hear the last of this. And what was that crap about me taking it up the arse. You didn't step in to defend me when Debbie said that. You just laughed along with her. You've probably spent the last three hours laughing at me behind my back."
"No, we didn't."
"Well, you obviously didn't care where I was because no one's phoned me to see what happened to me. I could be lying in a gutter or in hospital as much as you fucking lot care."
"No, we just thought you were pissed off and you would come back. We lost track of time and we were having a laugh. When we realised it, it was late, so I came home."
