As the PI called the police from the Inn across the street, about the fight behind the dinner, he knew Larry was beaten up. He wasn't surprised when the cops told him that there was usually a fight there every Friday and Saturday night, he knew that already. It was well known that the Roadway Inn and dinner were both places people met to have sexual affairs. The dinner was usually where the other person caught the cheating spouse either before or just after the sex. The cops then told the PI that they would respond as soon as they could. But it most likely involved a husband, wife and another man or woman and they considered it a domestic disturbance.
He told them it was two men beating another and there was no female around that he saw. They thanked him took the information and told him they would send a squad car there to help the looser. The PI said, "Send an ambulance so the guy can get to the hospital. They finished on the phone and told the PI in most cases no charges would ever be filed. Tem minutes later the PI sat in his van and watched the response team put Larry in the van and drove him to the hospital. Jill followed the van in Larry's car. He was admitted over night to be safe. Nothing really serious only a fairly bad beating. Oh yes, and there was a note saying, "This is what happens to men who fuck with out men's wives."
Three hours earlier Dan and his brother Dave pulled up in front of the Roadway dinner. They got out of the car and saw the black van parked by the side of the place. They knew it was the PI they had hired. He was there only for security and safety wasn't going to interfere unless needed. Dan wasn't sure what his soon to be ex-wife would do when he gave her the papers for divorce. He knew Larry her lover would be around some place and didn't want to have any contact with him, per his lawyer's opinion. If it was up to Dan he would have liked to beaten the son-of-a- bitch to death with his hands. But his brother Dave told him to cool his jets and do what he knew was the right thing to do so he would beat Jill at her own game.
However, Dave however asked the PI if he knew anyone who might help teach Larry a lesson? Of course the PI had connections for just that sort of thing. So being a good brother, He gave the PI $200 to have it taken care of. He would be Dan's alibi and the PI would be Dave's. The PI would tell the cops that Dan and Dave were not the two men who beat Larry up behind the dinner. And he wouldn't be lying.
When Jill showed up Dan was waiting for her and Dave was sitting at the bar where he could watch them. He would come over when Dan waved fore him. They didn't know that Larry had driven around the back of the dinner and came in to sit at the other end of the place where he could see both Jill and Dan. He was there incase Jill needed him.
Neither Dan and Dave didn't see him, but the PI did as he parked the car. Jill had told Larry to wait in the car behind the place so nothing would happen. While Larry had told her, Dan would agree with everything she was going to tell her husband, Jill wasn't so sure. She knew Dan could only be pushed so far and she had pushed him pretty good already. But she would be sweet and nice and work her magic on him like she always did.
But just before she went in she changed her mind and told Larry he should in fact come in but to sit at the bar and not interfere unless Dan got violent. He was only there for her as support in case it went badly. He was not to get into a fight with Dan and that was the only way she had let him come with her at all. She wasn't expecting trouble. She really wanted to see what Dan had to say after she told him what she wanted.
Larry and Jill had discussed what would happen if Dan ever found out that they were still together. They had decided that she would talk with Dan and tell him how she felt. She would put all her emotions and cards on the table and then give her husband an option for them to stay together. She felt inside her heart she loved Dan but she also wanted Larry. Women can love men differently. They can love one for being a good husband and love another man for being a good lover. Men seem to have trouble dealing with that and couldn't seem to accept it. Women were much more involved creatures that men. Things weren't just plain black and white, chocolate and vanilla, they were multiple colors and so were women's feelings and emotions.
So as the greeted each other with a civil tone Dan ordered coffee for both of them before she started talking. When the waitress had left he said, "I'm here Jill and I want to hear what you have to say. It will most likely be our only meeting before the separation becomes official."
She said, "Dan! I really don't want that and I don't think you do either. I know that deep down you still love me. I can see it in your eyes and your body language. And I still love you very, very much. Since you found out about Larry and me I know you have been hurt. I was also hurt when I realized I had hurt you again. I am sorry for that please believe me when I say I don't want to hurt you baby. I really am sad that I did hurt you again."
He didn't say anything he just listened as she went on. Jill took a drink of her coffee and said, "But Dan, you know as well as I do that Larry has been a big part of both of our lives. He still thinks of you as a friend and he's also upset too that he hurt you. It's....it's just that........ well it's just that we can't seem to stop seeing each other."
Dan was about to say something when she stopped him and continued, "Wait!! Please Danny! Wait until I have finished, please. I know this is hard and upsetting to you to hear your wife tell you that she can't stop seeing another man, but babe I want to be completely honest with you today. I want us, the three of us, to finally work this all out! We're all hurting here and I have given the problem a great deal of time to try and come up with something to resolve it."
Dan sat there listening as Jill went on about women being able to love two men and love them differently. That they were much more complicated on the inside then men and that she still loved him and wanted him as her husband. Then she said, "But Danny, I think I have fully realized now that I also love Larry."
He looked very mad, no, pissed off was a better word. She had never seen him look as mad as he was right now! She didn't like how he was looking at her and almost waved for Larry. But she didn't. Dan hadn't moved, it was his look that changed when he heard her say she still loved Larry too. So she finished her statement quickly, "But, Danny! I love him in a completely different way than I do you. I don't love him as a husband, no were even close to that deep of love. I hold that love only for you. It's a love that is so more involved and so much emotional than what I feel for Larry. But I'm being honest today with you and I have to tell you I do love Larry but only as a lover. Nothing else Dan, he's only that to me."
Dan said, "and where does that leave is Jill? I don't see where anything you have said so far should keep me from leaving you."
She said, "Well after you found out about Larry and me this last time, I knew I couldn't continue doing to you what I have been doing. It's just not fair to hurt you like I did. So I called you for days and you never called me back. I really wanted to talk with you first about this idea I have been thinking about Dan. But you never called me back. So I went and talked with Larry first to see how he felt about it. He agrees we should try and work something out. I told him I can't keep hurting you like this, it's just not fair to you or me or him, Danny."
Dan said, "Well that's the first thing you said that I agree with Jill. So what are you trying to say. Just come out with it. You seem to be hesitating. Don't! it takes up both of our time. Just tell me what you wanted to tell me."
She said; "OK! You're right."
She was set and ready for the last part. She had decided to tell her husband she wanted Larry in her life too. She began to tell her husband by saying that she wanted Larry to continue to be her lover. And, that Larry wanted her too. They had both agreed that they wanted Dan to be with her too, that they should stay married. She told him that since Larry was in agreement and was good with it, she felt Dan should consider it too.
She didn't tell Dan then what she had told Larry. That if Dan wasn't he could either accept it or she was going to leave him. They had talked about this for a year but today she would have to have the nerve to tell Dan he wasn't the only man in her life any more.
She and Larry were convinced that Dan loved her so much that he wouldn't leave her and eventually he would grow to accept Larry as Jill's lover. They could be together with no more hurting Dan and she could stay married to him. Larry told her he knew Dan well enough to know that Dan would let her have Larry as a lover.
So she started to explain all this to Dan. Jill looked him right in the eye and said, "Danny, think about it. It wouldn't actually be cheating or cuckolding you would know about it and since I would still have sex with you anytime he wanted it. It would be the best thing for everyone. We could all be friends and loves. I would give you even more and larger love than before for being an understanding husband and allowing me to have a lover. I would show you everyday just how much I love you and how grateful I am for your willingness to go along with this. It would show me how much you really love me and I could show you in return, how much I love you. It wasn't that you couldn't have me too my love."
