Nikki Had been working at the modeling agency for over a year, she had just gotten married shortly before, and life was going good. She was getting good money even though they didn't need it, Her husband Carter was the 3rd shift plant foreman, and his salary took care of their needs. But as time went on the spark suddenly vanished in their marriage. Nikki wondered if it was something she may have done, but dismissed it, he would let her know in time.
She settled into her usual routine, One mile jog, followed by an hour of Pilates. Then off to work, Her best friend Nicole was a gossip but she was awesome. So at lunch Nikki said to Nicole,
"Hey, what's new hun?"
"Ohh wait until I tell you. Your not going to believe this."
"This sounds like it's going to be good, What is it? Oh my God, You got laid I can see it all over your face. Tell me, tell me, tell me! Come on don't keep me in suspense. Tell me every juicy detail."
"Yeah, but nothing to get excited about, he wasn't that good. It was like it was his first time, maybe he was just nervous. It was that bad, plus he won't bring me to his house. We had to go to a motel. It's so strange, I wonder what he's hiding."
"Oh no, He probably lives in his mom's basement or something weird like that. As for bad sex, I know what you mean My husband is terrible still. Not that we do it often anymore and even when we do, it feel like every times his first time too. "
They both ate and chatted their free time away, As they were saying their good bye's Nicole said "Oh, about that guy I'm seeing him again tomorrow. I'll call and tell you how things went the second time around."
"You better, hun, or else. I hope for your sake he just had an off night."
And with that they parted ways. Later at home as her husband left for work she kissed him goodbye at the door. As he walked away she thought she smelled something, "was he wearing new cologne?" she thought. Nikki's days followed that pattern for 2 weeks, her suspicions rising, she was sure it was perfume, and it wasn't hers. The perfume she wore, Lucky You, was more of a flower fragrance punctuated by citrus,sandalwood, amber and musk. She couldn't yet place this smell, but Nikki knew it wasn't hers, and he wouldn't answer he questions at all.
One afternoon Her and Nicole discussed this strange man of hers, and his continued lake of prowess in his love making while sitting outside the cafe down the street from their agency when a gentle breeze blew a familiar scent across the table, the smell of Vanilla fields, that was Nicole's brand of perfume. Suddenly like a bolt it all clicked, They had been talking for days about this guy but she never heard a name, and up until now it wasn't important to her.
"Nicole, What is this guys name!?" Nikki asks leaning closer "I never thought to ask before,"
"Oh, I didn't tell you, He's has the same last name as you. He said he was like your cousin or something, related through marriage. Carter, Carter Hall."
"Really!?" Nikki says opening her purse and quickly search for her wallet, pulling out a picture and showing it to Nicole. "Is this him?"
"Yeah, that's him. Why?"
"Yeah that's right we are related by marriage," Nikki says with a laugh "He's my fucking husband. That bastard!"
"Oh my God, Nikki, If I even suspected. What a lying prick, And all this time I've been telling you he's so bad in bed. He can't even eat pussy right."
"Ha! Tell me something I don't know, To tell you the truth, I'm better than him on my worse day. I've been bi-sexual all my life, and I'm twice as good as any guy out there."
