She looked a little guilty and told me she needed to talk to me about something. I sat down and she came and sat next to me on the sofa – she was just in from work and it was a Friday evening. I'd already had a couple of drinks and so wasn't really bothered what her 'something' was.
She explained one of her friends had some clients coming to town and they wanted to be entertained. This friend had already organized a large cabin cruiser as one if the clients was an experienced boathand. There were apparently 6 guys, all of them loaded looking to buy some real estate on the beach and so my wife's friend was gushing with enthusiasm. The only problem was that she needed someone to go with her out on the boat with the 6 fellas and had asked my wife if she'd go.
I tentatively asked her what was involved and she shrugged to say she wasn't sure. It was just a day out on a boat with 6 guys – plenty of booze no doubt and flirting. I asked her when and she explained it would be following day – the Saturday. I don't mind at all if you want to go and if it would help Jen out, then why not I said.
'Great,' she said – 'I'm off out to get a new bikini and better get a trim 'down there'. I explained the least she could do was to model the new bikini when she got home to which she agreed. Off she went.
About 3 hours later, she got back – I was pretty loaded by then. She rushed off upstairs and I followed her up. She said she was off to bed – early start the next morning and so I reminded her of our agreement. Oh, not now please was the response. I insisted and boy oh boy, was I ever shocked – and incredibly excited.
