Ron's early return
I sat in my favorite recliner with my 9mm in my hand waiting for the 'lovers' to come down the stairs from MY bedroom once they finished their rounds (plural) of fucking. I'd moved my recliner from MY den and placed it at the foot of the stairs so it was just out of sight from those descending until they reached the last step. They were so wrapped up in their sex, they didn't hear a thing.
Having returned early from a business trip attempting to surprise MY wife, Irene, with a vacation to Hawaii, I was surprised to find on entering MY house, men's and women's clothes thrown on the floor leading to the stairs and on up the stairs apparently thrown off in their frenzy to get to the master bedroom ASAP.
While waiting I called my partner who covered the criminal law cases for our law firm and told him what I'd found when I got home and that I'd need to be bailed out of jail later tonight. He said he'd meet me at the station and not to kill anyone. I laughed and said I'd try not to.
I located Irene's lovers pants and got his wallet with his id, credit cards, and pictures of his wife and children. Then I got his phone, which he had tossed on the coffee table (out of habit I suppose indicating this was not a one time occurrence), and I called his home while I waited. Seems I wanted some company, someone to talk to who would understand the pain of betrayal I was feeling as I waited for the coming confrontation.
The phone rang three times before finally being answered by a very irate female (well it was almost 1:00 a.m.) screaming "Jeffery, where the Hell are you, you sorry bastard? Today is, well now yesterday was, your daughter's 5th birthday and you broke her heart you SOB! One more time and I swear I'm gonna divorce you!"
"I'm sorry to have awakened you Mrs. Conner", I replied, "I didn't realize the hour. Jeffery is very busy right now, so I'll have to pass along your message a little later."
"Just who are you and how did you get Jeffery's cell?" she finally asked.
"My name is Ronald Kelly and I found his cell phone tossed on MY coffee table when I came home early from a business trip." I replied.
"Kelly you say? You wouldn't be Irene's husband would you? She's Jeffery's secretary." she asked.
"Yes, guilty as charged I'm afraid, and MY soon to be EX-wife appears to be much more than just a secretary to JEFFIE boy." I replied.
She didn't seem to catch the end of my statement and said, "I don't care how busy he thinks he is, you get him on the phone RIGHT GODDAMN NOW or tell him not to bother coming home ever again!"
"Oh, Mrs. Conner, I don't think he will be able to come to the phone soon, much less come right home. You see, he'll have to wait until the ER doctors finish sewing him back up after I shoot his sorry ass shortly for fucking MY wife in MY house in MY bed. Needless to say I'm more than a little irritated with JEFFIE boy and my soon-to-be EX-wife." I stated calmly.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY??" she screamed.
"Yes, at this very moment they are upstairs fucking their brains out; well, what little brains they have left, and I just didn't have the heart to go up and shoot them as it would really mess up MY bed. Besides, I'm so mad at them right now that I might miss aim and end up killing them both. So I'm waiting down stairs for them to finish and come down for something to drink. Irene always likes to have something to drink after a vigorous fuck session." I said.
"Oops, I've got to go now. I think I hear them coming down the stairs. If I can, I MIGHT let JEFFIE boy call you soon, so stay by the phone. At the very least, I'll have Irene call you about which hospital the ambulance takes him to."
She said, "Don't bother. I don't want to see or hear from him ever again."
"Mrs. Conner, please think of your children. They'll hate you for keeping them from their father while he recovers in the hospital. You don't deserve that. As far as I can tell, you don't deserve any blame in this whole affair." I cautioned.
"Neither do you." she sighed, "OK, I'll await your call." then she disconnected.
