On the way home, Tony and I discussed the next phase of the evening. He wanted me to be sure I was comfortable with what we had planned. By this time, I was getting into the spirit of this and I told Tony I could hardly wait.
When we all arrived back at Tony's house, he suggested that Ronnie have a drink with us before packing to leave in the morning. Tony insisted, saying it might be a long time before they would see each other again.
Once we had settled on the couch, with me in the middle, Tony started to put a sex tape in the VCR. He told Ronnie that this was just fair play, as Ronnie had done it to him before. The movie had just started when Tony jumped up from the couch. Startled, our attention was diverted from the television. "DAMN," he said, "I left my credit card at the club...I have to rush back and get it before they close." He grabbed his car keys, said he would be back in under an hour and left before we could say a word.
Ronnie was obviously uncomfortable being left alone with me after what had happened at the restaurant. But, neither of us made a move to stop the tape.
