They had wrapped up another Sunday night affair and were sitting around the table chatting when Maria brought up plans for the coming weekend. Gloria turned to Andrea and asked if she had any plans.
"My husband and son are going camping with a friend and his son so I'm going to be alone from Wednesday through Sunday. I plan on doing nothing." That gave everyone a chuckle. As they talked among themselves Stix turned to Andrea.
"I go to my favorite bar every Thursday night. Why don't you come with me?" she asked.
"I'm not really a bar person," Andrea replied. "I did my bar hopping when I was younger and it was a meat market. Guys hitting on you all the time."
"I promise you that's not the case at this place. That's one of the reasons I go there," Stix replied. "Good people and good music. Tell you what... I'll touch base with you later during the week after you've had time to think about it."
Andrea agreed and at that point everyone was ready to call it a night. While Andrea drove home she thought of Stix's invitation but still felt it wasn't a good idea. She was married and Mike probably wouldn't like her going out. Not that he didn't spend a lot of his time at bars and drinking with friends. But still she felt it was wrong.
The week went by and Andrea had worked hard in the house all week and was tired. She climbed into bed around 9:00 and dozed off. She was hoping Mike would come home from whatever he was doing and just climb into bed. That usually wasn't the case. Mike had a pretty strong libido.
