FEBRUARY BLOWS
Author's Note:
I've read with great interest the great story by George Anderson and the many 'what it should have been' versions that other authors came up with.
I thought of a different twist.
With apologies to Mr. Anderson, I hope you enjoy.
I'm Marc LaValliere. A lot of guys hate me now because of a story that George Anderson wrote about me stealing a man's wife away from him at their Valentine's celebration and keeping her all night. I am not the villain people are making me out to be. I am involved in a lot of charity work and it is not for the publicity although my agent makes it look like I am. My family was poor when I grew up. I have taken care of them now, but several churches and social service agencies helped us out. I am returning the favor. Hell, I know what a two-foot long block of cheese is as well as natural peanut butter.
But I degree. Mr. Anderson told the story from the husband's point of view. I don't doubt that he portrayed the husband's stance accurately, but the husband was not told the true story at the time. Here it is from my point of view.
I'm a professional football player with the Miami Dolphins. I'm also good looking. One I work hard at and the other is just God given. I admit I've never had trouble getting women to date me. In fact, It's the opposite. I've had trouble keeping women from offering themselves to me, often right in front of their husbands. I would like to say that I'm not that kind of guy and usually I'm not. It's one reason I'm not married. I'd hate to put a wife through the solicitations and tabloid rumors. You have no idea how much free pussy I've turned down in every town where we've played. Some guys don't believe it about pussy, but you can get too much of a good thing, even pussy.
For the above reason, I don't like to go out to clubs and such. Women either fight over me -- I mean hair-pulling, bitch-slapping, ass-kicking fighting OR men get pissed off at me because of how their woman is flirting with me. They dare me to fight thinking even if they get their ass kicked, they can sue me for lots of money. For that reason, I actually travel with bodyguards even though I can kick most men's butts.
My agent is always pushing me to go out in public. Probably because he gets a percentage of my jersey sales. He's of the 'as long as they spell your name correctly' publicity philosophy. On Valentine's Day, I thought I would chance going back home and seeing some of my old high school football buddies. Evidently, they let other people know. I was surrounded by admirers. All they seemed to want was to talk about all the women I scored with and buy me drinks. I avoided the private talks with someone because that meant a request for money since I had more than enough.
After a while, some of the guys started talking smack. They said they doubted my ability to get chicks without even trying. A bit drunk and a lot stupid, I showed them. I saw a table with a couple of nice-looking chicks. One had been trying to get my attention all night by hiking up her dress when I looked her way. I linked eyeballs with her and smiled. I figured she wet her panties.
