The next morning would not provide any consolation to the total defeat and humiliation I experienced just the night before.
It was 9:20 a.m. when I was awakened by the subtle sounds of "clattering" dishes coming from the kitchen area. I sat up from my sleeping position on the sofa and held my head, which was suddenly throbbing in pain. I looked towards the faint noises and noticed Julie in the kitchen from afar.
From the short distance across our condo unit I could only see Julie from behind. She was reaching up into the cupboards and putting away some dishes, which she was removing from the dishwasher. She was wearing nothing but a pair of peach-toned nylon panties and a matching bra.
From behind, I could see that her bright blonde, now african-braided hair was styled and coifed in the manner it was intended. Her long hair was no longer the mangled mess it was when she got back from Tra'mon's apartment the night before.
Just 7 hours before, the young black man had debased me again. Finally, I was able to stand up and begin to shake the cob-webs from my head and these memories began to resurface inside me. I continued to look towards the kitchen area where Julie remained with her back towards me, stretching her fit torso to complete her task. I was deadly curious as to why she was suddenly doing all this.
I glanced to me left and towards the open bathroom door where I noticed the light was on. Small traces of steam were still coming from the shower, and it was apparent that my blonde wife had just finished washing up. Now, she was suspiciously milling around in the kitchen. Unintentionally, I was still in my morning quiet stage as I took a few steps closer towards the kitchen area.
From a distance of more than 20 feet I could see the blatant and bold large blackened spade symbol tattoo centered on her lower back. The black outlined and "blank" ribbon-like markings on either side of the spade symbol remained a mystery to me at this time. They were almost like an open slate to place half in letters inside, and they made the tattoo look incomplete. Still, I was not comprehending their intended purpose at this particular time.
Julie's blonde, braided hair flowed back and forth as she continued putting away dishes. The obnoxious black panther head tattoos on both of her shoulders and upper arms stood out from her pale, perfect skin. Her altered, now larger breasts barely "peeked" out when she bent over to retrieve another plate from the dishwasher. The soft scent of her perfumed soap and skin filled the air of the entire condo apartment. It was a scent that I had been missing for so long.
My view of Julie's beauty from behind only served as a reminder that she had "been with" the young black stud. He had literally "marked" her once flawless body like some sort of demented artist, yet it seemed that she had been unconcerned and fully accepting of them. Truly, I couldn't understand why. To me, they were like another insulting slap in the face to me and to all men of the white race.
"Julie?" I whispered, just loud enough as to not startle her like I had in the past.
She barely turned her head towards my weakened voice.
"Oh, you're up." she returned, non chalantly.
"You know, if you're going to put dishes in the dishwasher you should actually turn the machine on so they would wash." she said, matter of factly.
"They were beginning to smell." she added in a casual, yet avoiding tone.
Her back was still completely turned away from me.
"Um, Uh, Okay." I replied as I took a few steps closer.
"Wh-What are you doing?" I asked, humbly.
"Nothing really. I don't have much time. Trey wants me to run some errands with him." she whispered.
"Oh." I meekly answered, in defeat.
I stepped into the kitchen and towards the frige, then opened it. There was a large fruit bowl inside covered with celophane in front. Julie had apparently prepared it just this morning. I realized that I must have been so passed out that I didn't even hear my wife leaving the apartment to run to the store. I didn't hear her showering either, so it must have been one of her quickest showers ever, I reasoned. In my mind, I felt as if I had been knocked unconscious for days.
"C-Can I get you a bowl of fruit, Julie?" I asked.
"M-Maybe we can have breakfast?" I asked, groveling.
"I really don't have much time, Richard! I don't think that's a good idea." she whispered.
"P-Please, Julie? Maybe we can um just sit and have breakfast and, ya' know, talk a little." I begged.
"I really don't have anything to say, Richard." Julie returned, quietly.
"Please? J-Just 5 minutes?" I asked, desperate for even her slightest attention.
"Richard, please. I don't think ..." she began as I interupted her.
"P-Please?" I continued begging.
"Jeezuz! Alright already. 5 minutes. That's all. I have things to do!" Julie returned, increasing the tone of her voice and becoming slightly irritated.
With her back still turned to me, Julie put away the last of the dishes and walked over to our little kitchen table. I removed the large bowl of fruit from the refrigerator and prepared two smaller bowls on the counter. One for her and one for myself.
When I finally turned around to face Julie with the two smaller bowls and spoons in my hands, the sight of her before me was absolutely mortifying!
There, sitting at the kitchenette table in her bra and panties was my beautiful blonde wife. She looked straight at me. Unbelievably, Julie's face was still covered and coated with the young black stud's powerful, thick seed. It was completely dried up by now and left stains. The faint darker white color at the edges of these "blotches" of the black man's cum made it stand out even more as it framed the lighter interior. It was that obvious.
"Oh my gawd! Julie?! Y-Your f-face?" I screamed.
I nearly dropped the little bowls of fruit from my trembling hands. I was absolutely mortified by the image sitting right before me.
Here was my beautiful wife, freshly showered, cleaned and ready to get dressed but her face was completely "plastered" with several large blotches of dried up semen from Tra'mon Smith, who had "marked" her hours before.
"What the hell?" I screamed inside.
"Richard, stop! We're not going to talk about that." Julie replied, her eyes looking downward to the kitchen table, almost ashamed herself.
"B-But, Julie? D-Didn't you just shower? I mean ..." I gasped.
