Ira My Not so Loving Wife

At the time I was 19 It was a Friday night and I was hanging out at Tony's Pizza where my friends and I were regulars. Earlier that night I broke up with a girl I had been going out with. Jan a girl I knew casually, came by with another girl that I soon found out was Jan's cousin Kira and lived about 15 miles away from where we were. Because of the break up with my ex-girlfriend, I was standing in the doorway next to the pizza shop when Kira walked up to me and offered me some of her bottle of Southern Comfort. When she held it up and saw it was only about one ounce left, she changed her mind about sharing. I went in the pizza shop and grab the table, the two girls sat with me. Jan indicated that they were hungry so I ordered large pizza and a pitcher of soda.

While, we were waiting for the pizza Jan started telling me how her mother was pressuring her to ask me out. I know this wasn't going to happen for two reasons one she already had a guy that she was very hung up on and didn't have eyes for anybody else. Two I knew at least a doesn't guys that I've been sexually active with her and that wasn't somebody I was interested in.

She also told me that her mother had spoken to her two younger sisters Gail was only a year younger and Jenny, who is only 15. Gail and I got along, but relationship wise there just wasn't that kind of chemistry between us and I don't think there ever could be. Jenny was four years younger than me. by the time she was old enough. I'm sure she will find somebody and I just couldn't even think of her now as somebody I would ever get involved with.

I asked Jan: "Why is your mother so fixated on me getting involved and possibly marrying you or one of your other two sisters

Her response was: "My mom knows your father is a big shot in labor and you have a great job and your mother is very politically connected."

I told her: "Not for nothing Jan, but your mother is a very domineering woman. Your father works crazy hours driving truck and avoids coming home so she's basically driven him out of the house. I think she would try to dominate you and me or me and one of your sisters if that ever happen. I just can't see myself putting up with that. So, me with you or one of your sisters, won't ever happen."

Tony brought over the pizza, after we finished the pizza and pitcher of soda and I told the girls I had to get going. I was going home and left, I didn't give it another thought. Sunday I was helping a buddy of mine Joe. He had a race car that he drove at Norwood Arena, it was around 3 o'clock and the cousin Kira showed up.

She tapped me on the shoulder and said: "Hi."

I asked her: "Is Jan with you?"

She said: "No."

I asked her: "Why are you here?"

Kira told me: "We didn't get much of a chance to talk Friday night."

I was kind of flattered so I said: "We're almost done here. If you give me a few minutes we were going up to McDonald's you're welcome to come."

10 minutes later, I held open the rear door of my friend Joe's regular car and she slid in the middle I got in beside her. Joe got in the front and the other guy that was helping us Buddy got in the passenger side front seat. We headed to McDonald's. Kira laid her head on my shoulder so, I took that as a signal and put my arm around her. Seconds later, we were making out.

We spent the rest of the afternoon together and when it was time for her to go home, I got a cab and took her home. I found out where she lived and she gave her me phone number.

We talked a couple of times during the week and made plans to go to a dance Saturday night. My buddy Tom would rent halls and hirer bands. Tom ran dances and put posters up around town so people knew where the dance would be and who would be playing. We had a good time I knew the four members of the band and introduced them to Kira. Jan was there with the guy she was hung up on and when she got home, she must've told her mother. About seeing Kira and I together, because, Jan's mother called Kira's mother and told her; 'keep your whore daughter away from Don Lewis. One of my daughters is going to marry him. Or I will have one of them charge him with rape so he must marry her."

I was now not someone Kira's mother felt should not be with her daughter. Ever time I called her mother or grandmother answered and I was told Kira couldn't come to the phone. It was nineteen sixty-nine so there were only land lines. It was two weeks before I saw Kira again. She came by my parent's house and asked If I was home. My mom told her I was at the ball field on the other side of the tracks and if she walked towards the bus stop, she would see a walkway leading to a tunnel under the tracks. I would be with my friends the other side of the tunnel.

When I saw her, I said: "I thought you were avoiding me, what is going on?"

That is when she told me about the call her mother got from Jans' mother, how her mother hated Jan's mother from the time she started dating her brother Kira's uncle John. I brought Kira to meet my mother something I hadn't done with any other girl except Kara. I told my mother about Jan's mother's call to Kira's mother.

My mother told Kira: "I will handle your aunt; she has applied to become a member at the Snow House. I am on the board and as of right now she will be turned down. She runs a day care out of her home that is unlicensed. Plus, the empty lot next door that she also owns, she lets a couple of business park their commercial trucks there overnight. Again, without a permit and that is a zoning violation. I doubt she was aware that when she applied to the Snow House, we do a thorough back ground check on all applicants. I will make sure she knows why city inspectors are clamping down on her and that she cannot do anything about it. Both carry fines for the violations and she knows it. She is a greedy fucking bitch, pardon my French."

That was the first time I ever heard my mother swear. My mother handed me the car keys and fifty dollars and told me: "Why don't you take Kira up to 'Fontaines for something to eat before you drive her home later on this evening."

Jan's mother waited to confront my mother till my mom was leaving Church the following Sunday morning. My mom is part of a church group of prominent ladies in the community. What Jen's mother didn't know was that some of these ladies' husband were the commissioners of the departments in the city that showed up the previous Monday to shut down her illegal daycare and tow any trucks from the lot next to the home she owned. All the ladies in the group already knew what had happened.

Jan's Mother showing up and making a scene only caused my mother to hit her again by buying the tax lean on her house. And the mortgage from the bank since she was delinquent by four months. The woman got the message, but my mother wasn't done just yet. She demanded Jen's mother take out an ad in the paper apologizing to Kira and her mother for the phone call calling Kira a whore.

Kira and I went out together for a few months and then drifted apart. Two and a half years later I ran in to her at a hamburger joint in West Roxbury called Howdys Burgers. She was getting out of a convertible two seat sports car. Her hair was now blonde and what I noticed first was her top was shear as was the bra she was wearing. I knew she had sizeable tits, but I never realized they were that big.

It wasn't till she said: "Stop drooling and say hi."

I looked up and realized I knew this incredibly sexy woman, I found my voice and said: "Kira, I didn't recognize you with the blonde hair."

Kira smiled and said: "How could you all you were seeing was my boobs. Dave my fiancé loves guys looking at them. He buys the tops and bras I wear when we go out. I must wear something over when he picks me up so my mother doesn't see how slutty I dress for Dave."

I hadn't noticed the guy she was with till he came back with their food. His head was covered in bandages with openings for his eye, nostrils and mouth. It reminded me of a mummy.

He told her: "Bitch get in the car."

He turned to me and said: "Stop looking and talking to her, I own her and if you know what is good for you, walk away."

I smiled and told him: "Before you Kira and I were an item and I feel we parted as friends. At least I hope she feels that way as well. She may be your girl, but you don't own her. As far as what is good for me, you want to try, come around the car and you will need bandages on the rest of your body."

Kira told him: "Dave, get in he will easily put you back in the hospital. Besides two of his friends over there are cops and you will be the one that ends up in jail. Just let it go."

As he got in, I said to him: "When she was with me, I didn't disrespect her by making wear clothes that showed of her breast as if she was topless."

He just laughed and held up her hand with the diamond engagement ring, as he drove away.

I waked back over to my friends and Harold who is a plain clothes detective said: "I called in his plate to Dedham. He is going to get pulled over before he goes a mile."

Jim asked me: "Was that Kira with that guy?"

I told him: "Ya, and she is engaged to him. But what pisses me off is he told me he owns her and she said nothing to that remark."

After seeing Kira and the way that asshole treated her. I was in a bad mood so I went home, I told my mom what happened. She told me to call or go see Kira and find out why she puts up with being treated that way. I called her house later that night and her brother told me she was staying in Lunenberg at the assholes family's home. I call the next night and she wasn't back yet. The third night I got her and we talked for a hour. She asked to meet me at her work the next night when she would be getting off.

I was there a half hour early; I thought it strange she was not wearing the uniform the other girls were. She asked her boss if she could leave. He was ok with her going and we took a cab. I asked her where she wanted to go and she told me to the field she found me at near my house. It sounded strange, but what the lady wants was what she would get. It was a warm September night the sky was clear. When we got to the field some of my friends were there with their girls. After about twenty minutes Kira took my hand and we walk to a secluded spot away for the others. We laid in the tall grass that was never mowed and basically hidden for prying eyes. Kira told me: "I met Dave at Mass General, I was studying to be a nurse and he was one of the patients I was assigned to.

I got to know him and when he was released, he asked me out and I accepted. He was nice at first and when he asked me to marry him, I said yes because I wanted to get away form my mother and grandmother. Dave figured I wanted out of the house and played me so, I would look at him as my savior. A month later he started grooming me, slowly at first till, my mother put money down for the reception and for the caterer. That is when he knew I was his as he told me. There would ne no way I could go back home if my mother lost the money she put out and she would. I would be forced to live on the street so, I am forced into marrying him and he knows it."

I kissed her and told her: "Give him back the ring. What ever money your mother loses I will cover her lose."

Kira pushed me back and said: "I can't let you do that; I got into this and I will marry him. His family is not just rich, they are wealthy like old money wealthy. I will stay with him for two years then file for a divorce based on mental and physical cruelty. He has hit me several time and I know it will get worse after we are married."

I asked her: "Do you have pictures of when he hit you, if you do go to the cops and have him arrested. Your mom can go after him for the money."

Kira asked me: "Can you do something for me, I need you to do it please don't say no."

I said: "Of course I will do anything for you. You want me to make him disappear?"

She smiled and said: "I am still a virgin and that is one thing I refuse to let him have. Make love to me and after, fuck me like a whore because I need to know what sex with him will be like."

I asked her: "You sleep at his family home and you never had sex with him?"

She told me: "He can not lie to his mother, even the smallest thing she can tell he is lying. She asks him every time we have been together if we had intercourse."

I asked: "So, with you in revealing tops and him getting worked up seeing guys seeing you like that. What does he do just jerk off?"

She smiled and told me: "Yes, but he makes me get undressed and jerks it till he ejaculates. He shoots in on me, my boobs my ass or my face. He even one time forced it in my mouth and held my jaw closed and he pinched my nose till I swallowed it. When he released me, I grabbed it put in back in my mouth and bit him hard. He flipped me and spanked my ass so hard and long that I couldn't sit in the car when he drove me home. I had to kneel, but I told him if he ever did it again, I would bite if off. I didn't care if he killed me after. He hasn't even shot his stuff on my face since."

I asked her: "When is he coming here again?"

Kira told me: "Sunday, it is the only day we both have off."

I said: "Great have him bring you back to Howdys. Don't suggest it, just ask him if he liked flaunting you in front of me. If he says yes, ask if him if he wished you didn't have a bra on. My guess is he will tell you to take off your bra and will drive to Howdys hoping I will be there."

Kira asked me: "You really think he will want to do that?"

I smiled and told her: "He won't be able to help himself. Having you without a bra in a see threw top. He will think he is throwing it in my face that he owns you. My guess he will have you get out and face where I am at with me friends. I won't move or even look; it will seem like I don't care. That should piss him off and I hope he will walk you over to where I am at. If that happens, when you reach me, while facing me slip off his ring turn to him and hand it back to him. Just be prepared to duck, he most likely will try to hit you. When he does, he will be arrested. If he doesn't, I am sure he will come after me. I will let him hit me and drop so, he is arrested for an unprovoked attack."

Kira asked me: "What if he doesn't do any of that?"

I explained: "I will walk over to the car and you get out. Take off the ring and drop it on the seat. I will kiss you passionately and by then my friends will be near the car and if he tries anything. He will be told to move on or be arrested for causing a public disturbance."

Kira said: "He may not except that and come after me, he knows where I work and how I get there on the train and busses"

I told her: "If he is arrested on Sunday, you will be granted and emergency restraining order against him. Monday morning, I will be with you when you go in front of a judge to make it at least 90 days."

Kira looked worried and said: "I don't think a restraining order will stop him, he has been arrested before and his family seems to be able to make it go away."

I told her: "There are a couple of things about my parents and my self that have changed since you met me before. My father is now an adviser to the president on labor matters. I now work directly for the union as head of security an am license to carry a concealed weapon. I had talked to him earlier and he told me, he will hire you as his assistant so. You will be with him most of the time he is working and I will be there as his bodyguard."

The union had a suite at the Sheraton Boston Hotel. Sunday night we will stay there in case Dave went to Kira's moms looking for her. Sunday went much as I thought it would, they pulled in not far from were my friends and I were hanging at the back of the parking lot. Dave parked about forty feet away with no other cars between his an where I was leaning against one of my friend's cars.

I watched out of the corner of my eye to see what he would have Kira do. When he realized, I wasn't going to look he had her get out and face where I was. I didn't turn and that must have set him off, because he told her to shake her tits to get my attention. Neither my friends or I paid attention to Kira and that is when he marched her over to us.

Dave didn't notice that Kira was removing his ring as she walked. When she got to me, she turned and grabbed his hand. It took him a second to realize she had given him back his ring. He was pissed and I hoped she was ready like I warned her because he was going to hit her.

He swung and she didn't even try to avoid being hit. Her nose was his target and she went down. Her short skirt was up to her waist and I realized he had made her remove her panties as well as the bra. He wasn't done and kicked her between her legs and yelled at her to get up and get in the car. She was his property and this would cost her.

Before he realized it. Two of my friends, both Boston cops were on him and he was cuffed. They arrested him and called for a Paddy Wagon to take him to jail. I didn't know it, but one of my other buddies was dating a reporter from the local TV station and she was across the parking lot with a still and a video camera crews. Poor old Dave's family would have a tuff time getting him out of this one.

Dave was held without bail and Monday his mouth helped to make it easy for the judge to send him to Bridgewater State Hospital for evaluation. Dave's family pulled out all the stops to try and get him out of going to jail. Twenty-three other girls came forward to say he had abused them. They had pictures of what he had done. Each said the same thing, the cops in the town claimed there wasn't enough evidence to arrest him. He was sentenced to five years in Walpole State Prison.

Normally he would have been sent to Suffolk County Jail, except while at Bridgewater he beat a guy and then kicked him in the head. The guy was still in a coma when Dave was sentenced. Dave's parents were filling a gang leader's canteen to protect Dave. It worked for three and a half years till the gang leader was killed and Dave with him.

I was torn about how I felt, on the one hand I didn't want him dead. But on the other I felt he was crazy enough to come after Kira and most likely me when he got out. It was three months after our night in the tall grass, Kira told me she was pregnant. That it must have been the night at the field as we had been using condoms ever since. I loved being with her and had feelings for her, but I don't think I was in love with her. What I was is a guy that always tried to do the right thing. That, in this case was to marry her.

I figure after the baby was born and she was able to go back to work. We could go our separate way. She was now working for the union in the office.

My dad had become the Vice president of the state AFL/CIO and was no longer at the union office. I could mail my dues so; I wouldn't have to see her. It was a great plan until it wasn't. The first time I held my daughter I knew I would never leave. That eight pound seven once twenty-one-inch little girl owned my heart. Kira and I grew closer and we had two more kids both boys. Life was good or so I thought. I was now working for one of the largest construction companies in the country. Because of my labor background, when there was labor issues, I would be sent in to smooth things over.

Two thousand and twelve I am now on the Board of directors and in line to become the Director of Operations. Kira's mother died and I took some vacation time to clean out her house. It was while I had a crew doing the attic they found Kira's dad's foot locker from his time in the Army Air Corp.

I started looking through it and found pictures and drawings of her mother. I knew her father was an amateur photographer and did drawings. I knew he even had a dark room in the attic, although I never saw it. Near the bottom I came across some composition books. Looking in them I realized they were Kira's she wrote in them like a journal. I skimmed through and they started when she was in high school. Then I came to the one about her time in nursing school and found out why she quit.
