"Destination reached." Javier was about to turn off the Tesla when his 32 year old wife Rachel grabbed his hand. They had left the kids w/ a babysitter and were both excited to get out of their routine for a night.
Rachel as usual had done herself up: her blonde hair curled, perfectly matching diamond earrings with her dangling diamond pendant just above her cleavage.
After 2 kids she was a size 2 now instead of zero. But Javy loved how his 4'11 Ashkenazi wife put on her heels and still turned heads despite her small stature.
"Oh my god, I think I know him!" Rachel exclaimed.
"We'll I assume so! It's Molly's 40th bday, you've known her for 10 years! Surely you know a lot of ppl here," Javy replied.
Rachel fidgeted a bit, then speaking quickly, "Right. Remember when we started dating I told you I'd only been with like 2 guys? Well one of the guys I went on a few dates with is here. Molly set us up. It's gonna be so weird seeing him!"
Javy was amused. He was 5 years older than Rachel. He had been with 50 women or so and Rachel had met half a dozen of them. In his view none of the meetings were weird.
"We'll we're all adults, I think it'll be fine. Let's go in! I'm dying for a drink." Javy opened the door.
They walked into Mollys house, Rachel holding his hand a bit tighter than usual.
Molly and Rachel had met when Rachel 1st moved to the city. They worked together and although Molly was 8 years older, she had taken Rachel under her wing. A bit of a michevious and wild big sister to Rachel's more reserved, prudish self.
Molly liked to party. And even having 4 kids in 6 years hadn't put a damper on that.
"Rachelllll you're here!" Molly shouted from across the room. Holding a tequila aloft, her shirt already leaving little to the imagination, Molly skipped over.
After quick greetings, Molly pulled Rachel aside and whispered, just loud enough for Javy to hear, "Guess whose here? Tom! Try not squeal!"
Rachel turned red and with a laugh, "Oh my God Molly stop!"
Javy heard this while talking to Mike, Molly's husband and flinched. He thought he saw the slightest smirk on Mike's face at the mention of "Tom" and Rachel "squealing".
The rest of the party was fun if uneventful. After 3 drinks Rachel felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Hey! It's been forever just wanted to say hi."
Rachel turned around to see it was Tom. "Hey! Yeah...been forever um how are you?" Rachel's sheepish response
Javy watched and felt something like relief. Tom was an inch or two taller than him but unimpressive. Bit of a dad beer gut, balding a bit, wearing lame dad shoes. Javy felt like he had nothing to worry about.
He put his arm around Rachel (looking like the prettiest girl at the party in her snug green sundress, blond curls still lying perfectly) and extended his hand.
"Hey I'm Javy, Rachel's husband, nice to meet you."
They exchanged pleasantries and then Tom went back to his wife stating daggers at them.
Javy was now totally at peace. Tom's wife was a bigger blonde who very much looked her 40 years. "I guess he has a type but couldn't bag the kind he wanted." Javy smiled to himself.
As the party wound down Javy went to go use the bathroom. The bathroom window was open above the deck where Tom and Molly's husband Mike were having cigars. The smell of smoke wafted up along with their conversation,
"Yeah it wild to see her man. She still looks amazing."
"Bro I told you, you owe me. Best piece of ass you'll ever have."
"Haha I know man. Honestly the best 5 weeks of my entire sex life. I still watch the video a few times a year."
"Ha! Me too. Molly and I watch it sometimes too. It makes us both so hot."
"So you're saying Molly is into me?!"
"Ha yeah right bro. I guess she's got a kink of your chubby ass pounding a girl out of your league."
Javy s blood ran cold.
His mind was racing. Were they talking about Rachel? Did she make a sex tape?
Rachel really wasn't wild. The sex was normally good but not crazy with her. After a few drinks she'd sometimes let Javy pull her hair and talk a little dirty.
Once on vacation he had bent her over a balcony at night. The thrill of being exposed publicly felt risquΓ© but not crazy. Rachel would still reference that escapade as her being "so naughty". How could she ever make a sex tape?
When he found Rachel she was very tipsy and ready to leave. As they got into the car, Javy was rock hard but not sure how to approach the situation.
"Oh that was so fun!" Rachel reclined her seat and kicked off her heels.
"Yeah, and...funny meeting Tom too." Javy offered.
"Yeah, his wife wasn't happy. What a hag. Oh well, they're made for each I guess."
Javy waited a beat. "Was he always kinda chubby or was his dad bod why you wanted to date him?"
"Aww are you jealous?! Haha." Rachel laughed.
Javy didn't respond and Rachel softened, "No he was always kind of unkempt. I mean we went on like 5 dates. I was just feeling free after dating Noah for so long. I didn't know what I wanted till you showed up in your suit on our first date!"
Javy gripped the wheel a bit. Noah had been Rachel's only boyfriend. Another kind of lame guy who she met in college and dated for 3 years. He was a whiny cheapskate according to Rachel. They broke up when he got into law school and felt like his career needed priority.
"Anyway baby, we've met so many of your flings, it's only fair you meet one of my two!"
Rachel was right. Javy dropped it and took her finely manicured hand.
