I didn't figure it out until last week, more than 20 years later.
At the time Macey was a new girlfriend, 19 and adventurous with already a wild past. We were just getting started and I was not yet privy to her stories and her curious streak. Later that summer and into the next year I would learn more about her, but did not put the facts of that night together because I moved on to my next girlfriend, now my wife of 20 plus years. It wasn't until my wife and I started to explore erotic events and memories that I even thought about it, and then it was right in front of me.
So this is a story about a night when my new girlfriend had two lovers, a one-time previous lover and a stranger. It was a night where I was absent for the action, but I can tell you the events occurred this way based on what I know about Macey and what she later told me. If this is intriguing to you, read on. I promise you I have the facts right.
Macey was home in Dallas for the summer after her freshman year at Brown. I was in graduate school and we met through mutual friends and quickly became lovers. Macey was easy to be around, attractive, dark, and perhaps fifteen pounds overweight. This made her slacks tight but her curves soft, and with her clothes off it made her seem both vulnerable and confidant at the same time.
About a week after we started sleeping together, she told me a guy she knew from Brown was driving through to his grandparent's house in Oklahoma City. "He's a good guy. His name's Gavin. He's from Boston, and Dallas will be his last stop."
Dallas is not on the way to Oklahoma City, but I honestly had my radar all the way off.
"Let's have dinner together."
"Sure" I said.
This dinner date was for the next night, a Wednesday. The hardest part of my work schedule that summer was mid-week, and I had a seven a.m. start Thursday, so I did not plan to stay out late, nor could I have stayed awake (normally) given the crazy hours I was working. I picked Macy up at seven at her parent's house and drove on to the restaurant. She dressed for the summer heat, wearing a thin white halter-top and a medium length black cotton skirt with strap sandals. Sexy enough, but plain. I didn't think we would spend the night together anyway, so I didn't fantasize.
"Gavin's driving with a friend."
"Know him?"
"No, he's from Gavin's hometown."
We had a great dinner together. Gavin and Jeff. These boys were 19 and off for the summer. I was 23 and working my ass off. After dinner and several drinks Macey said, "Let's stay up all night!" I was in no shape to do so. I knew I needed to crash soon. Later I figured out this was an invitation, and I RSVP'd the wrong way!
