"Excuse me, would you mind if I sit down?"
Shane was seated at the counter of a bar located not too far from where he worked, holding a drink to his lips, about to take a sip from it when the white man's voice spoke to him. Shane muttered his accent and the man, between mid to late forties with a weary-looking face, draped his jacket over the backrest of the high stool beside Shane before plopping himself on it. He ordered a glass of Bacardi and told the bartender to refill Shane's glass.
"Can I help you with something?" Shane asked after the bartender had given them their drinks.
"My name is Dan," he shook hands with Shane. "Dan Erickson. We haven't met before -- not in person -- though we both have a mutual friend in common."
"And just who might that mutual friend of ours be?"
Dan was silent for a moment, and then he leaned closer to him and said: "My wife, Annette. The same lady whom you've been fucking behind my back for over a month now."
It was enough to make Shane lower his glass on the counter. He turned in his stool and gave the man a serious look. "So what you here for? Out to get your pint of blood?"
"I wouldn't have bought you a drink if that's what I had in mind. And anyway, there's no need to get all tensed up -- I'm here for friendship, nothing more." Dan paused to take a sip off his drink before continuing. "You recall the last time you were at my home?"
Shane shook his head. "It's so far back, I can't recall."
"It was a Wednesday, one week ago. You came in with my wife and banged her in our bedroom. Remember now?"
"Oh yeah ... yeah, I do." Shane couldn't help but make small laughter from recalling the memory. "Man, I'll tell you something -- your wife's a real slut. No offence though."
"None taken. To tell the truth, I never once knew how much of a slut she was ... not until that evening when I watched the both of you."
Shane looked at him with surprise. "No way. She said you'd gone off to Denver and won't be back till the following day."
Dan nodded. "That was what I'd expected, except things didn't work out well, so I returned home the day before. I hid in the closet and watched the both of you go at it. How come you haven't been around the house since?"
Shane shrugged. "No time. Got other white sluts lurking around that want a taste of the black dick." He took another sip of his drink. "So anyway, you've bought a drink -- thank you. What do you really want?"
"Annette's been missing you, sort of. I'd like for you to come by and fuck her one more time, except this time, I'd like to be there."
