It Started in Vegas
Part V. Does Johnny Like the Deal?
Saturday
Annie
The call to Johnny didn't go quite so well.
"Hey, Johnny," I opened.
"Hey, Annie. What's up?" he asked. "I thought you weren't allowed to call me."
"I wasn't until today," I informed him. "Mac offered me fifty thousand to stay another week. I thought we could use another fifty thousand."
"Annie, I'd rather have you back home. I paid off the casino. I only stayed here so I could greet you when you come back tomorrow."
"Well, if I stay another week, I wouldn't be coming back until next Sunday," I told him.
"It's not worth it to me," Johnny pleaded. "Annie, please come back."
"Think of all the things we could do with another fifty thousand," I told him. "That's why I was thinking of staying."
"Annie, after I paid off the casino, and after I pay off all our credit cards, we'll still have fifty thousand of the original hundred thousand. We don't have to have an additional fifty thousand," he continued.
"But, Johnny, I already told him I would stay. Like you said a week ago, in for a dime, in for a dollar," I suggested. "I thought you'd be happy with another fifty thousand."
"Not if it means I have to give you up for another week. Babe, I've missed you. I regret agreeing to your going with him, even if we needed the money badly," Johnny argued.
"I'll talk to Mac," I told him, "I love you."
"I love you, Annie," he pleaded again. "Please come back on Sunday."
I hung up. "What should I do, Mac?" I asked.
"Tell him that I agreed to sixty thousand for next week, and also at the end of next week, I'll bring you back to your hometown instead of Vegas. Tell him I'm being hard-nosed about you reneging on our deal," Mac suggested.
I waited for what I thought was an appropriate time for Mac and I to have a hard negotiation with a nasty ending. Then I called Johnny again.
"How'd it go?" Johnny asked.
"Not well," I admitted. "He doesn't like for people to renegotiate deals. His final offer was sixty thousand and he would bring me back home instead of to Vegas. He didn't make any specific threats, but he was very angry."
"He can't keep you there against your will," Johnny replied. "If necessary, I'll get a court order and come there myself. Where exactly are you?"
"I'm on the north shore of Kauai, I don't know the exact address," I told him. "But, Johnny, it's only a week. I can do it, and then we'll have another sixty thousand to spend how we like."
"That's what worries me," Johnny told me. "I'll come get you. Try to get the exact address. I can probably find it based on McCutcheon, although his legal name would help."
"Johnny, it's a waste of time," I told him. "By the time you could get a court order issued, it would be near the end of the week, anyway. It's only for a week. Don't do anything stupid. You need to take care of the money when it comes in. It should be thirty-six thousand tomorrow. Please don't do anything stupid. Coming out here, paying attorneys, all that. It would be a waste of time and money. I'll be home in eight days. Just let it play out."
"Annie, I'm sensing resistance," he told me. "What's really going on?"
"Nothing's going on," I lied. "It's just that I made a deal I thought you'd be happy with, and it seems that you're very unhappy with the deal and me." I started crying.
"Okay, Annie, I won't do anything rash," Johnny agreed. "I'll think everything through thoroughly before I do anything."
"Bye, Johnny, I love you," I told him.
"Bye, Annie, I love you," was Johnny's reply.
I hung up.
Mac told me, "That was very impressive. Somehow, I never thought of you as being so capable. I want you on my side."
"I am on your side," I told him, "if you stick that thing in me again."
"Here, I thought I was a cocksman," he replied, "now you're telling me I'm a thingsman. It looks like I'm going to have to prove myself to you every day."
"Yes, you are," I informed him as I started licking his thing.
Sunday
Annie
After our before-breakfast intercourse, I told Mac that we needed to talk.
"I never lied to Johnny before," I told Mac. "Do you know what that means?"
"It means that you really want to stay with me," he smiled at me.
"Yes, it does," I admitted, "and do you know why?"
"You like screwing me," he replied.
"That's true," I admitted, "but the real reason is that I'm falling in love with you."
Mac was quiet for a while. "I don't know what to say. I guess I should tell you how I feel."
"That would be good," I continued.
"I thought we were just going to have some fun for a week," he explained. "I had gotten this super-hot woman to come to Hawaii with me for a week of sex. When it was over, it was going to be over. Now, I don't know what's going on. I'm very happy that you're staying for another week. I don't know what will happen at the end of that week. What I do know is that I will probably feel even stronger than I feel now that I definitely won't want you to leave. The reality is that I'm not sure if I love you, but if saying 'I love you' will keep you here longer, I will say it."
"Oh," I told him, " so the big bad man loves me but is afraid to say it. That's okay. I know you love me and that's what counts."
"My only mistake was talking to you in that Vegas coffee shop," Mac replied. "Now, I'm stuck with you."
"And you're loving every minute of it," I told him. "Let's eat breakfast and then let's try to find some new ways for you to pleasure me with that thing."
"All I can say," he admitted, "is that I hope this thing thing is a phase and you'll stop doing it in a while. I really don't like you thinking of me as a thingsman!"
"If that's your biggest concern," I informed him, "then I think our odds of making it are pretty good."
"Let's eat breakfast," he replied.
Second Week
My second week with Mac seemed to be going very well. He would still ask me to screw other guys, but the frequency of this was greatly reduced from the first week. I think he really liked watching me with some other guy. I still felt like I loved Johnny; it was just that I loved Mac more. At the end of this week, I would have to tell Johnny the truth. I wanted to stay with Mac long-term. I would marry Mac if he asked, but only if he asked. Of course, I would have to get a divorce from Johnny, and that would be very hard: Of course, hard for Johnny, but I still cared for Johnny, and I didn't want to hurt him.
Mac liked banging me on the beach. Well, I liked it, too. On Thursday afternoon, we had banged on the beach and then gone for a swim in the cove without bothering to put our swimsuits back on. In the distance walking toward us, I saw a familiar figure.
"Oh, God, no," I cried out.
"What is it?" Mac asked.
"It's Johnny!" I replied.
As fast as I could go in the water, I rushed to the beach and started putting my bikini back on. By the time Johnny got there, I had the bottom on, but not the top.
"Well," Johnny said, "I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Sarcasm dripped from every word.
"I'm so sorry, Johnny," I began.
"Sorry that I interrupted you banging your brains out," Johnny interrupted me.
"Let's calm down," Mac interjected.
"I guess I am as calm as any man can be," Johnny replied, "when some rich asshole is trying to steal his wife."
"I don't know if he started out that way," I informed Johnny, "but he's already stolen me."
"It didn't take very long, did it?" Johnny spoke with great anger.
"I'm so sorry, Johnny," I began again. "The last thing I wanted to do was hurt you. I still care for you."
"Let's try to keep this civil," Mac tried again. "You can come into my house, and we can try to sort things out like adults."
"I appreciate your magnanimity," Johnny replied. "it's easy for you to say, because you've got what you wanted, and I've lost what I wanted."
"Johnny," I began again, "I can make a lot of excuses, but I don't have anything that will make our relationship better. All I can do is try to make the hurt less."
"You were all I ever wanted, Annie," Johnny told me. "I don't think I can replace you."
