About once a month my wife Hannah (5'3" 124lbs, blonde hair below her shoulders, and green eyes) has a girls night with her friend Margot. It's basically a night at Margot's watching a chick flick. I drop her off and pick her up. Margot is single and primarily dates black guys.
It was late summer and the weather was perfect. We had the car windows down as I drove Hannah to Margot's for their girls night. After dropping her off, and before going home, I stopped at a store to get myself something to drink for the evening. It had been about 40 minutes since I dropped Hannah off when I noticed she had left her purse in the car. Dutifully, I swung back to Margot's on my way home. She lives on a two acre lot. It's very secluded and dark. A vehicle was parked in the circular driveway up near the house so I parked in the street. As I turned off the car I could see into Margot's living room through the front windows.
Hannah and Margot were sitting on the sofa. On either side of them sat two black men. One sat in the love seat nearest Margot and the other was seated in a wing chair closest to Hannah.
Hannah hadn't mentioned anyone would be joining them tonight. She probably didn't know. I suspected one of Margot's boyfriends stopped by with a friend. Or she just flat out invited them. I wouldn't put it past her. She knows I'd be pissed.
They were all chatting and drinking wine. I thought about texting Hannah to see if she was ready to come home but I knew it was too early. She'd only been there for about an hour. A bottle of wine was on the coffee table. Hannah is somewhat of a lightweight when it comes to drinking. She gets buzzed by a third glass of wine.
The scene looked pretty harmless. I couldn't blame Hannah for a situation that Margot obviously put her in. I figured I'd pick her up later, ask about her night, and she would tell me about Margot's visitors.
My wife is sweet and beautiful and even though guys are constantly hitting on her she's never given me any reason to mistrust her.
I should have left.
Instead, I quietly slipped out of my car and made my way up the edge of the property in complete darkness. Approaching the front window from the side I peered inside. Margot had the windows open and I could hear the movie playing on the television. I was shielded by tall bushes and had a direct line of site to the four of them. I felt guilty for spying on Hannah but I certainly didn't trust Margot.
I could see them all talking but couldn't hear very well. The TV drowned out their voices. Margot stood up and went to the kitchen. Great, I thought to myself, more alcohol. A moment later, the guy on the love seat got up and followed Margot. Hannah picked up the remote, aimed it at the television and it went silent. She turned to the guy sitting in the wing chair and told him: "I'll pause it until they come back." Fifteen minutes passed and they hadn't returned. I had a feeling that Margot took him back to her bedroom, leaving Hannah alone with his friend.
Hannah kept turning back, looking in the direction of the kitchen. She looked uncomfortable. It pissed me off that Margot put her in this position. I thought about knocking on the door but didn't want to embarrass her. The guy in the wing chair stood, picked up the bottle of wine, and filled his and Hannah's glass. I would guess he was at least 6'4" tall. He was wearing a tight t-shirt and sweat pants. He sat down on the sofa, to Hannah's right, where Margot had been sitting. He spoke matter-of-factly: "I don't think they'll be back for a while." Hannah dropped the remote onto the coffee table in frustration, picked up her glass and drank most of it down. I could tell she wasn't pleased. The guy filled Hannah's glass again and sat down much closer to her. I wasn't sure if she picked up on his move but I did. Hannah looked especially small sitting next to him.
"Sorry" he said, "I didn't know they were going to do this"
Hannah was resigned: "Its not your fault. Sometimes Margot is all about Margot"
He took a sip of wine and asked: "So Hannah, you married huh?"
She held up her left hand displaying her wedding ring: "That's right, Jerome"
He chuckled: "Happily?"
She looked directly at him: "Very"
Jerome nodded in acceptance: "I got you"
I smirked and whispered to myself "That's my girl." I wasn't thrilled with how close they were sitting but I was proud of Hannah for shutting down his weak effort to tempt her.
He took another sip of his wine: "Your husband is a lucky man"
Hannah emptied her glass as she accepted his flattery: "Thank you"
"Think he'd be okay, you know, you and me hanging out like this?"
Hannah chuckled: "Probably not"
Jerome was trying to get her to loosen up a bit.
He smiled: "You gonna tell him?"
She shook her head and half laughed: "Probably not"
"Ah, so Hannah keeps secrets huh?"
Hannah played with her hair and smiled: "A few"
He joked: "If you tell me yours, I'll tell you mine"
She smirked and rolled her eyes. They were flirting.
Hannah stood up and bounced towards the kitchen. Jerome followed her with his eyes. He was taking in the full beauty of my wife. As she walked, it was obvious she wasn't wearing a bra. Her round butt was on display in tight, gray yoga pants. He spied it as she disappeared into the kitchen. I read his lips as he quietly spoke to himself: "Damn!"
Hannah returned with another bottle of wine. She filled their glasses before placing it on the coffee table. This man was relaxed and confident with his arms across the back of the sofa, legs spread. Hannah sat down, although now she was sitting Indian style, facing towards him rather then the TV. Their knees were almost touching. It made me uncomfortable.
From my vantage point, I could make out the partial outline of a substantial bulge running down along the inside of his left leg. He was making it so obvious. Hannah would occasionally glance down at it when she took a sip of wine; falsely believing her glass shielded her eyes when she did so. She was trying to be subtle but I caught her looking a few times. I worried that he may have as well.
Hannah's beauty has always given her confidence. She's open, kind, and sweet. Traits useful in manipulating men, even innocently.
Hannah placed her hand on his knee: "Be honest with me," she said, "did you know this was our movie night when you guys stopped by?"
