December 27
I got up at six, put my own clothes back on, and went out to shovel the driveway. Janice had shown me where the shovel was in the garage and had given me to code for the garage door. It took me less than two hours to finish and I was tired and definitely sweaty when I finished. I took a little more time learning the shower controls to find the massage setting. I stayed in longer than I normally would, enjoying the heat and pulsing water on sore muscles.
I dried off and went back into the bedroom. The intake of breath was less than yesterday, but It still got my attention. Michelle was standing there this time. Tom Jr. wanted to make himself known to the daughter, the same way he did to the mother, so he started to stand up. I reacted as slow as yesterday, but I did eventually turn to go back to the bathroom. I heard a moaned "Mom was not exaggerating." As I closed the door.
As former military, and current security specialist, I kept myself fit. I didn't look like a body builder, but I did have definition. I'm also a little above average at about 7 inches. Not huge, but I've never had complaints.
I noticed a new set of clothes on the bed so I got dressed and went downstairs. This time, Janice had cooked breakfast. Pancakes and sausage. I loved it, and I let her know. She blushed, and thanked me. She said that Michelle had liked them before they moved here, so she wanted to try again. I told her she was successful. The blush was deeper this time.
After breakfast, I cleaned up while they got ready to ride to town. I pulled the SUV out of the garage and let it run to heat up. The neighborhood had been plowed and we made it to town easily. I wanted to shop for groceries, but wanted to hi the big box home improvement store first, so Janice asked if I could drop them off at the mall first. She asked if I could do all my shopping before coming back to get them. I'd do anything to avoid mall shopping, so I agreed.
I got several bags of ice melt for the driveway. I figured it would assist the heated driveway system if we were going to get a lot more snow. I also got a proper snow shovel. Not that plastic thing I had to use this morning. Oh, and I got some gloves. I hate blisters. I didn't have any yet, but I had gotten close. Another day of shoveling and I'd definitely have some.
I then went to the grocery store and got everything on my list and a few things not on the list. Janice had given me McAllister's card and told me his account was still active.
I called Janice and told her I was on my way. She said they were near the food court, so they would pick up some Chinese for all of us and they'd be right out. I parked outside the food court entrance and waited only a few minutes. I didn't expect to see so many bags, but I didn't recognize them until they were close to the SUV. I jumped out to help and scolded them for not calling me to help carry the bags.
Michelle just stopped and stared at me. Janice smiled a big smile. She looked at her daughter and said "I told you he was a real man."
"McAllister never helped with anything we wanted to do." Michelle explained, "He'd make us carry our own bags, even when we went on a cruise. He had someone to carry his bags, but we were left to do our own. Of course, that was after he started trying to get us to, you know. He said if we agreed, we'd have people to help us as well. Neither Mom, nor I, thought that was a good trade off."
We took everything back to the house and took it in and put it away. I asked Janice if I could borrow the SUV to head back to my house and get some stuff and talk to my soon-to-be ex. She readily agreed and off I went. I dreaded the conversation, but I knew it had to be done.
I parked in front of the house. I hadn't been here to shovel the driveway. Debbie's car hadn't been moved, so I knew she'd be here. I didn't expect her to be watching for me. She came running out to me before I got halfway up the driveway. Before I could sop her, she jumped on me and knocked me down in the snow.
"Debbie, Get off of me! Let me up!"
She was blubbering and crying, hugging me tightly. I had to roll over so that I was on top of her to get away from her.
"Debbie! If you want to talk, let's go inside."
I walked ahead of her and entered the house. I wanted to make this as short as possible, so I didn't sit down. Debbie came in, looking contrite.
"Tom! You don't understand! I was drugged! I was taken into that room without my consent. I didn't cheat on you!"
I held up my hand, cutting her off.
"I'll make this quick, Debbie. I had a source inside the house that confirmed that you were a regular at McAllister's house."
Before I could stop her, she screamed "I didn't have an affair with Winston McAllister!"
"Oh, I know you didn't. I have it on good authority that McAllister couldn't have a physical relationship with anyone. But you worked for him, serving his clients. On a regular basis. Most of the time when you were supposedly at your Mother's. By the way, I called Sharon. She thanked me for calling. She thinks I called to forgive her, so I could let you start visiting her again. At least half of the trips to Tennessee were actually trips to McAllister's house, weren't they?"
"It's not.."
"What it looks like? Is that what you were going to say? You were going to McAllister's to suck and fuck other men!"
"It wasn't supposed to go like this! Was going to stop last month, but Winston said he'd send videos to you if I didn't go to the Christmas Bash! I was going to stop, so we could start working on a family, but he was blackmailing me."
"But he was blackmailing you with videos from times you went there willingly! Why! Was I not enough for you? Did you not love me?"
"Oh, Tom! I love you and only you! I was just doing it to keep my job. Winston paid me a lot of money! More than I made before I wasn't going to do it until he showed me the first check. You were never supposed to find out about it. That's why I started going there when I usually went to Tennessee. I knew you never called while I was at Mom's. You never checked up on me.
"Please Tom, this has never affected us. I never denied you sex. If anything, we made love more often!"
"STOP! Never affected us? You left me alone at Christmas! Don't say this never affected us. Not only that, but you were giving away something that should have only belonged to me! We made vows to each other, in front of friends and family.
"But, it wasn't an affair. No, that actually would have been better! I still wouldn't have accepted it, but It wouldn't have been as bad as whoring yourself out!"
"No! It wasn't like that! I wasn't a whore!"
