Mary and I had been married a couple months when my older brother William married his girlfriend Connie. And we attended the wedding, with the rest of our family and friends. We were sitting with his best man Danny Fuller and his wife Jill.
Taking Mary's hand Danny moved to the middle of the crowded dance floor, with my young wife following behind him. Leaving me and his wife Jill sitting at the table. He turned around taking Mary in his arms as the music played a slow dance song, pulling her small body tight to his. Looking through the crowd I could barely make out their movement.
My brother best friend was holding her close with one hand on the firm bottom his other hand was on her back between her shoulder blades. My wife's arms were wrapped around his nick. I could see a puzzled look on her face as she looked toward me and Danny's wife Jill while he whispered in her ear. I was a bit uneasy watching them, but he was Willy's best friend, so I let it pass. I tried to talk to Jill but she would only speak in short or one word answers.
Mary and I had married early in life, she was very pretty, with big dark brown eyes and blond hair, five foot six inches tall 120lb, her young body was tight, with 32-22-34 measurement. We were just out of high school and she was very shy and inexperienced. She didn't know how to take an experienced ladies' man like Danny, he continued to whisper to her as they danced, when the music ended they still stood in the middle of the floor him holder her tight against his strong body, until the floor cleared then they made their way back to the table.
"You know, guys, Mary is a great dancer, you sure are lucky Jack." He said taking his sit between his wife and mine, "Jill I think I have found our baby sitter, Mary needs a job and she can watch Chris, while I sleep, and you are at work."
"That will be fine." Jill replied, with a meek smile before lowering her eyes back down to the table.
"How about you Jack is that ok with you, we'll pay $15, a day, I know you could use the money." He asked me,
"If she wants to, it's fine with me." I answered, about the time my brother came over and said he and his new wife were about to head off to their honey moon. When he walked away to leave Danny stood up, "Ok then, we better head home, Puss.' He said taking Jill by the hand, "Jill will bring Chris over when she goes to work." And they left.
Mary and I left right after them and drove home to our trailer behind my Mom's house. She barely spoke during the drive home she asked once how well I knew Danny and Jill. And I told her he was my brother's friend, and we had played golf a couple times.
The next couple weeks were kind of rough, as I worked third shift and 3 year old kid was really loud and I didn't get much sleep, when I complained to Mary, she said she would talk to the Fuller's and see if something could be worked out.
