Could Have Been

As usual, I was up before Fannie. As usual, I started the coffee maker and brought up the local news on my iPad. I always start with the local stuff before bringing up the national news. As usual, I share my time between reading the news and making breakfast. It has become a tradition during the three years of our marriage for me to handle breakfast while Fannie handles all the rest. Today, the local news was way beyond upsetting. I never made it to the national news.
I prepared breakfast with tears in my eyes and fear in my heart. My emotions were all over the place. Reading that headline stopped me dead in my tracks. Memories came flooding back like water from a broken dam.
I remembered that I had just turned 18 and my brother, Jake, was home on leave from the army. It was good to have him home for a while. We had lots of catching up to do. We talked for hours.
My big brother is three years older than me. He has always been my hero. He's everything that I'm not. He was a sports hero at school--I was a nerd. He dated every cheerleader and all the beautiful girls--I dated only a few nerdy girls. He had screwed more girls than I had dated. Lots more! While we were talking, something that I revealed to him made him decide to take me under his wing.
He said, "Jules, I can't believe that you're still a virgin. If the world at large hears about this, my reputation will be killed! I'll never be able to live it down. My brother's a virgin? Believe me, Jules, I'm gonna get you laid before my leave is over."
I grinned as I said, "Lots of luck, bro. It's not like I haven't tried! We have the same last name but it doesn't fool the girls."
I want to say right now that I'm not proud of what happened. It was the very definition of bad, but it changed my life in a good way. I'll admit that I thought of sexual intercourse as the ultimate act of love while Jake considered it to be an act of conquest. He had garnered many submissions from lots of girls and he had the notches on his headboard to prove it. Yes, we saw the sex act very differently, but I was horny enough to follow his lead at this point in time.
Anyway, the very next day I found myself in the passenger seat of Jake's Thunderbird as we headed to the big town. We stopped for lunch at a hole in the wall and then drove into a sort of lower-class neighborhood.
We stopped in front of an old three-story house. Jake said, "I can't guarantee anything, Jules, but if we can hook up with Madge, you just might get the very best for your very first. She's the best fuck that I've ever had. I kick myself for not eloping with her. Mom and Dad would never accept her because they consider her family to be plebeians. Maybe they are and maybe she is, but she's also the sexiest person you'll ever meet.
"Anyway, she has a weakness and I was able to spot it. I used it more times than I can count. I found out that if I could just kiss her while rubbing her left thigh, she would become putty in my hands.
There were times when she was not in the mood and rebuffed me at every turn. She was adamant about it until I did that magic trick on her thigh. It was like having the unlock code to her pussy. It never failed."
He went on to say that she was married now to an ape-like loser named Billy Joe Harmon. "He's a big guy and he probably has a cucumber-sized dick. He drives an over-the-road truck and luckily, he'll be gone on a multi-state trip for the next three days. That gives us a window of opportunity with Madge!"
He went on to say that Madge worked with two other women in a housecleaning business. She cleaned on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Since this was Tuesday, she wouldn't be cleaning, so why not be fucking? Madge had told him about their schedules when he finally broke over and dialed her number. Luckily, she had kept her old number when she got married.
He had been hesitant to call her. He had made it a rule to never mess around with a married woman. That ended when Madge said that she would like to see him while he was home on leave. So, with fingers crossed, they climbed the stairs and knocked on the door that displayed the number that she had whispered to him on the phone.
When she answered the door, she hugged Jake and they kissed like lovers. I was confused in more ways than one. First, I didn't expect that show of affection from a married woman. Second, she was not the beauty that I had expected. Jake always got the cream of the crop, but Madge was a comparative weed. My only thought was that since she was so high on my brother's list, she must really have what Jake referred to as a "magic pussy."
Jake introduced me to Madge and she gave me a light kiss on the cheek. I must admit, her lips caused an electric discharge in my cheek.
We sat down in her kitchen and she poured coffee all around. Before long, it was like I wasn't even there. Madge and Jake were in a world of their own. They reminisced about everything. Some of it was downright embarrassing to me.
Before long, they had left the table in favor of the couch. There was lots of kissing going on. I remained at the table. What was I supposed to do? I noticed that Madge had removed her rings. They were on the table. I felt uncomfortable in more ways than one. I was a fifth wheel.
Furthermore, I began to regret the idea of endangering someone's marriage. I wished I could just disappear.
