I just wanted to try a little twist on the "HONEY WE NEED TO TALK" and the "I WANT TO EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT LOVERS" type of stories. It's not a BTB story and there isn't any sex either.
What an amazing day, I thought to myself as I drove home early from work on a warm, sunny, mid June day.
My career had never been better as the company that I worked for had just landed not one, but two exclusive contracts with the State of Oregon. We are going to upgrade and streamline a long overdue computer system for the justice department and several other subsidiary departments. That's what I do. After graduating from MIT eight months ago, I landed a sweet job at one of the best I.T. companies on the west coast. The best part was that I was only an hours drive from my folks in eastern Oregon. Along with the contracts came a substantial bonus that would make a nice down payment on a house that my fiancée Gwen and I hoped to purchase.
There was another reason why I was floating on air all day. Gwen had called me earlier to tell me to hurry home because she had some great news. I almost told her that I had some news of my own, but I wanted to surprise her. I thought about what she might have up her sleeve and then it hit me. She must be pregnant. Things had been a little testy at home the last couple. Of weeks seeing that are wedding was only twenty days away, but but I realized that it must be her hormones kicking into gear.
As I pulled into the driveway of our rented townhouse, I was thinking how awesome it would be to have a swarm of kids run to meet me at the door when I arrived home from work. Gwen and I both wanted a big family so it didn't take much for Gwen to sell me on the idea of starting a family right away so I couldn't wait to get inside.
When I opened the door I could instantly hear Gwen on the phone so not wanting to disturb her, I quietly closed the door and kicked off my shoes. I don't think that she heard me so I wandered into the kitchen and poured a glass of water. From the dining room I could clearly hear Gwen as her voice echoed down the staircase.
"I don't know if this is such a good idea Lisa; what if he goes ballistic and storms out before I can tell him about the twins? We've always been honest with each other, I don't like playing games with him. It's not the way that I wanted to tell him that he was going to be a daddy. Yeah...you're right Lis...he's too smart to think that I would seriously cheat on him. I know that he'll do whatever it takes to win me for himself. Haha...well he's my Neanderthal and I will never betray him like that. I know...I know...set em up and then knock em down...or something like that. Hahaha."
WTF I thought to myself. Right then I knew my suspicions were spot on. She IS pregnant. I wasn't sure what games or cheating she was referring to, but I decided to play along and throw a wrench into whatever they were scheming. My sister Lisa was a notorious prankster, but getting my fiancée involved was a bit too much. I quickly grabbed my shoes and ran out the door before walking back in, deliberately making my presence known.
Gwen came bounding down the stairs just as I pretended to kick off my shoes for a second time and gave me her usual hug and kiss.
"Sit down Rick, I wanted to tell you about this sooner, but I needed time to think it through first."
"Okay hon, but I've got some good news too so don't keep me in suspense "
"Well...I've been thinking about this for about a month now and I think it's time."
I almost burst in to tears listening to her and imagining all the great things that lay ahead in our future.
"You know that I love you with all of my heart, don't you Rick?"
"Of course I do Gwen, and I already told you that you're the most amazing woman that I've ever known."
"You know that I was a virgin when we first met so I'm just gonna come out and be honest with you. I'm going to have sex with other men before we get married. I need to do this so I'll never look back with any regrets when I'm old and gray."
To say that I was in shock would have been a huge understatement. Suddenly I knew what it was like to be simultaneously kicked in the stomach, head and balls. I was at a loss for words as she continued her speech.
"Actually I'm going to have sex with four different men on four different nights and the best one gets to have me a second time. I've already arranged everything for next week while you're on your stag party golf trip. I need to do this so if you truly love me you'll understand."
I tried to read her face to see if this was indeed some twisted joke, but I couldn't tell.
Suddenly my brain snapped out of it and a euphoria washed over me. I knew exactly what I needed to do so I sat back in the sofa and took a deep breath.
"Wow Gwen, that is quite the news. I'm sorry if I seem a bit flustered, but you kind of caught me off guard. I thought that maybe you were going to tell me that I was going to be a daddy. Whew...glad I dodged that fucking bullet." Mumbling the last part under my breath.
I'm not sure if my words resonated with her, because she flinched a little, but kept on smiling.
"I know that I was your first lover, but this is a bit of a shock hon. Do you mind if I take some time to absorb it?"
"Of course Rick. I'll go get dinner started and we can talk about it after we eat. How does that sound?"
"Sounds good hon. I'm gonna grab a shower and come back down in a bit." I said as she kissed me and bounced in to the kitchen.
As I watched her cute little ass walking away, I was saddened that she would stoop to such nonsense, but my resolve hardened.
After a quick shower, I sat on the bed for a few minutes, determined to put an end to whatever nonsense Gwen and my sister were planning. I took a couple of deep breaths as I opened the contacts list on my phone and called my baby sister Lisa.
Surprisingly she picked up right away. I would have thought that she might have needed more time to work on her game plan once she saw it was me calling.
"Hey Lis, what are you up too?"
Hey Ricky, I just got home from the gym. Something wrong?"
"Well actually something quite urgent has come up and I really need your help."
"Of course Ricky...what's going on?"
"Well I think that Gwen might be screwing around on me. She came up with this whole 'I need to experience different lovers so I won't have any regrets later on in life' bullshit. I don't know why she would want to hurt me with something like this, but I don't think that I can marry her now that I know that she's actually capable of cheating on me like that."
"Wow Ricky...that's awful."
"I was wondering if you could get me the number of the lawyer that your friend Adriana used to rip her cheating asshole of a husband apart. I know that we're not married yet, but we've been together for almost four years so once I get enough evidence, I should be able to leave her in ruins and sue her fuck toys for alienation of affection or at least fuck up their lives for fucking up mine."
"What the hell Ricky? Gwen would never pull some crazy shit like that on you. Are you sure that she's not just messing with you?"
"I really don't think so Lis. In fact I think that she's already fucking some guy or guys so I need to be prepared once I have proof. It's going to hurt like hell, but I'm going to let her think that I'm okay with her plans and let her burn herself. She's going to have a five day fuck fest starting Sunday so I should have plenty of evidence by next weekend. I was hoping to have her out of my life before the wedding so I could break the news to all of our family and friends."
"W...well...I think that Adriana is somewhere in Europe, but I could try and contact her and get that number for you. Are you sure that this is what you want to do Ricky? Can't you just talk to her and work it out together? You guys are the most perfect couple that I know. This must be a mistake."
"No Lis...I've thought about it and I think that this is the only way. I'm just lucky that I saw her true colours before we walked down the aisle together. It's crazy how you could be with someone for so long and not really know them." I threw in a couple sniffles for theatrical affect.
"Oh...and please don't try and talk to her about this okay Lis. I don't want you to get caught up in our drama. Just please try to get me that number by Wednesday. If not, I can ask Greg from work to set something up with his brother Joseph. He's only been out of law school for a year, but Greg says that he's a pretty sharp guy. Anyway...please get me that number and let me handle the rest."
"Sure thing Ricky. I still think that you're overreacting, but I'll do whatever I can to help."
"That's great Lis. I knew that I could count on you. Remember Lis...not a word to anyone. I've already been betrayed enough. Love ya sis."
I wish that I could have seen Lisa's face, but she was going to have to pay for this sometime down the road.
Just as I got to the bottom step of the staircase, I heard Gwen's phone ringing. Fortunately for me she had set it on the end table in the living room and hadn't heard it ring. I snapped it up, killed the call from my loyal sister and turned her phone off. I waited a few minutes before calling Gwen into the living room.
"What's up hon? Dinner won't be ready for another hour or so."
"Sit down Gwen. I've thought about what you said and I just have a few questions before I can understand what's going on."
"Of course hon. I honestly thought that maybe you would freak out and make a big deal out of this, but now I know that you truly love me."
