Chapter 6
Confessions and Concessions
I must have been exhausted after my night of worry and mishaps, left alone while my wife and best friend were out on a date together, because when I woke in our bed several hours later, it was morning and beside me, there she was...
My wife Veronica, she was there in the bed with me, sleeping curled up and facing away, our bums touching under the sheets...
Looking to the clock it was nearing 7am and thinking it was way too early, I rolled over and pulled her to me, hugging her as the big spoon which she took to, snuggling her naked ass back into me where with a contented sigh I felt myself falling back to sleep, feeling good in knowing she was there, she was with me.
However, as lovely as it felt to be with her, soon enough my beer filled bladder had me up and where I stayed up, heading down to put the coffee on. Wanting to let Veronica sleep until whenever she chose to wake up...
I had no idea at what time she came in, or what her night had been like, but as I wandered back up stairs, picking up her dress, shoes and as well, her matching dark red panties... I thought once again of her being out there on the dance floor, strutting her stuff with 'our' best friend Reg Morgan...
I was dying to know how their night went, and some time later, after spotting Reg out on his patio deck, I weighed whether or not I wanted to hear this from Veronica first or from him...
I had envisioned Veronica and I in our bed when she came home, expecting to hear her telling me everything as we engaged in some heavy petting, and then whatever else struck her fancy, with her either riding me, or with me going down on her, making her cum as she remembered and pictured herself being out on their date.
Sadly though, that didn't happen... Not with me being dead to the world, fast asleep and not hearing her coming in, and therefore missing the opportunity...
But then seeing Reg outside... I didn't know what to do...
Thinking for a moment and realizing I was being stupid in avoiding him, knowing that anything I had dreamed up was just that... It was MY fantasy version of events... I was still very much in the dark about what really happened, so I didn't think I needed to hide away from this... Myself maybe... But I knew I didn't have to hide from Reg...
"Hey Morning Dana... How's Vee? Still sleeping it off?"... Her began as I approached, walking the distance between our two places balancing a full mug of coffee in my hand...
"Sorry we were so late getting in... We went to an after party, but I'm sure she's told you by now huh?"... He asked as I neared, stepping up onto the deck in my long house coat, clutching my full coffee mug...
"Ah hey, morning... Yeah she's still sleeping, and I have no idea when you came in... I was out cold, so I haven't spoken with Veronica yet. But everything is okay right? Only you sounded kinda down. Did something bad happen? Or did you have a good time?" I asked letting him know that I hadn't spoken with Veronica yet, but his tone sounded like things might not have gone so well, or that's the vibe I thought I was getting...
"Oh... I thought you guys would have talked when she came in.... But uhh yeah... We had a great time, that club is something else man, it's really cool, right beside the airport and looks out onto the tarmac with planes coming in and out, landing and taking off... I swear that's all we watched during dinner out on the terrace"... Reg explained and feeling a bit of nervous tension between us, of course I went for the joke...
"That sounds cool... So I guess that's why it's called 'The Cockpit' huh? And here I was thinking it was named that for something else... You know? With all the strip clubs out there?" I said to him, but then right away I felt kinda stupid...
"Yeah good one"... He came back saying, looking a little more serious... "So umm... About last night man... We kinda talked a little, and decided that it would be best if Vee spoke with you first... You know, let you know what went on, how the night was... But don't worry man, everything is cool, we had a great time... We just thought it'd be better coming from her"... Reg added, but no matter how many times he said everything was cool, of course, it made me think the worst...
"Okay well... Actually I'm kinda glad you guys decided that, because I didn't know what to say when I saw you out here... I didn't want to make it look like I was avoiding you, but I was sort of thinking that way too...About hearing it from Veronica first... I just hope she doesn't sleep all day!"... I said to him, as I said I'd see him later, where then heading back home, I was finding myself at a loss once again, wondering what to do until Veronica stirred.
Sighing and feeling no further ahead after speaking with Reg outside, I emptied the dryer from the night before, and while folding everything, I found the panties I'd been wearing and feeling a pang of guilt wash over me, I felt bad, like I'd crossed a line I shouldn't have.
It was something I had a feeling I'd end up telling Veronica about once we started talking, deciding that I would let her know what I was up to while they were out. I didn't want her keeping any secrets from me about the night, and I was prepared to do the same, telling her what I had been up to while they were gone...

"Mmmph... Umm... Oh baby can you get me some water please? My head is killing me"... I heard Veronica say from behind me as I stood at her dresser putting the white pair of panties away, and closing the drawer I turned smiling and saying good morning to her... Quietly...
"Hi.. Good morning... Yeah, sure thing... Do you want coffee? Or juice?"... I asked in a whisper, stepping over to her and sitting down on the bed beside her. I thought if anything, she'd be feeling rather vulnerable the moment she woke up, no doubt thinking "Where am I?" or "Oh God! What did I do?"...
She looked so different with her hair cut short, which to be honest, I had all but forgotten about after picturing and visualizing her all night the way I have always known her, with her wispy thin blond hair coming down around her shoulders...
"Are you okay? I spoke with Reg outside"... I started saying after coming back with the water and two aspirin, handing her the tablets first and then the open bottle...
