The Perfect Wife-Chapter 3
Well Almost.
Rebecca's point of view.
'
Jesus Christ, for the umpteenth time, I don't want to dance
,' thinking to myself. I smiled at the young man and said politely, "No, thank you. I have someplace to go. I just stopped by for a quick drink."
I decided to stop by for a quick drink. I heard a lot about this place and wanted to check it out. It seems like a nice place but just another meat market. I was getting ready to head downtown to the Club, but that was also nothing but a meat market.
Same O, same O, every week. It was exciting for the first few weeks, but I was tired of going home alone. Dammit, I wanted a boyfriend. No, a MAN friend, with emphasis on the MAN.
I guess what I really wanted was to be in a relationship. But I couldn't find a man I could tolerate for more than a few minutes without making me want to throw up. I wanted a man like my dad.
I felt the presence of a body standing next to me. I thought, "Oh shit," not another dweeb that wants to fuck the fat girl with big tits.
I'm not a Skinny Minnie. I'm a big girl built for pleasure, not speed. I was athletic as a kid. I played softball. My size helped me earn a college scholarship as a starting pitcher for the Georgia Bulldogs. I was strong, and my extra weight allowed me to put some extra oomph behind my pitches.
I'm 5'11 and weigh 210 pounds. Of course, 50 pounds of it are tits. I'm a 44EE. But the one thing I am proud of is my flat stomach. I didn't want people to look at me as nine months pregnant woman.
Then I heard his voice for the first time. A deep, smooth, baritone voice said, "It's about time."
That caught me off guard. I just responded out of reflex, "What's about time?"
He turned to me and gave me a twisted smile. He was tall, dark, and fucking good-looking and out of my league for sure. He looked to be 6 ft 4 or 5. The best I can describe is his build as thin and slim. He had broad shoulders that came down to V at his waist. He wore a white long-sleeve, oxford button-down shirt with Levi 501 jeans. Slim cut, I'm sure.
He looked into my eyes. I thought he had the sexiest steel-grey eyes I've ever seen. They were accented with a blue hue.
Then he hit me with the best line I had ever heard. "It's about time somebody who doesn't look like a Barbie Doll comes in here." Well, that did it. I wasn't going to the club tonight. He turned back to drink his beer.
I have a shit test that I pull on any man that hits on me. They never pass. I asked, "Don't turn around and look. What color are my eyes?" Damn, if he didn't describe them perfectly.
We bantered back for forth for a few minutes. I hoped we might end up together for the night, but then he started to leave. He did save me with that challenge about the other guys trying to pick me up.
He was one cocky son-of-bitch. I had to do something. I mocked him and asked him if he could do a better job. He smiled and hit me with some pretty lame pickup lines. He knew they wouldn't work.
So I asked for his X-rated stuff. Damn, they were funny. I like a man that can make me laugh. Then he shocked the shit out of me with a watch joke. I guess he saw me glancing at my watch by habit.
Although for a second I thought he could tell I was going commando that evening, I recovered by the time he finished the line.
I wanted another one, and whether it was good or bad didn't matter
.
I was going with him. So, when he told me about the one that never failed, he didn't know it then, but he would still have a perfect record at the night's end. So, when that fucking bitch came and asked my MAN for dance. Damn! Why didn't I think of that?
After he left, I realized I didn't even know his name.
As he started to leave, he asked me if I decided to stay, come over and sit with him and his friends or ask for a dance. Marjy gave me the low down on him but wouldn't tell me his name.
She asked me to scan the room with a grin. When I turned around to look around, I was shocked at the vitriol staring me in the face. Thank God they didn't have voodoo dolls.
I watched him for the next half hour; he never turned down a dance. Then he shocked me. He sent a beautiful girl back to her table crying. Later he walked over to where she was sitting with her friends. When he left, they were all crying. Then he went back to dancing with anyone that asked.
I finished my liquid courage and headed to his table. Damn, I was scared shitless as I walked across that floor. I felt like I was walking to my death if he rejected me. I swore to God Almighty then that I would never again turn down another man who asked me to dance.
I got lucky when the song ended and a slow song started. I tried to move closer to him, but he kept his distance. I would have appreciated the respect he showed me any other time, but now I wanted him. His name was Robert, and it fit. I told him mine.
I was looking for an excuse to go home with him. I didn't want to be that obvious without dropping to my knees and sucking his dick right then and there. Then I remembered the last pickup line.
We played his game. He even got the whole club involved. He bet me he could kiss my lips without touching me.
We agreed on the rules, and he started his caper. I was mesmerized as he moved back and forth around me. He smelled so good. I was ready to rape him.
He gently touched both of my cheeks and tenderly kissed me. I moaned for the first time when being kissed. Then, when his tongue scraped my lips, I actually came. Not hard, but a tremble.
My eyes popped open to see his grey eyes dilate. I saw two things in them. One was love, and the other was fear. He pulled away slowly. He paid off his bet and ran. He----was scared, and I didn't know why.
One thing I knew for sure was I had to get out in a hurry. I had no panties on, and I knew there would be a dark spot on my crotch from the fluids I was leaking. Damn, I knew I should have worn black.
Then I was confronted by that bitch. I fell for her bullshit at first until an old friend set me straight. She gave me his name and number. She hurt my Man. She was now my enemy.
I sat around all week thinking what Mrs. Rebecca Bradshaw would look like written out. Stop it. That is so High Schoolish. Mmmm, B. Bradshaw. Damn it, what is it he finds so fascinating about me. So, I scribbledโfield trip.
I stood out in front of a small building in an industrial complex, looking at the sign that said Essex Manufacturing. I wish I had a drink. I had never acted like this about a man before.
I walked in, and he was welding something. He stood up, flipped back his visor, and smiled. God, he looked better than I remembered.
I was used to being with men that wore suits and yielded pens as their weapons of choice. So it was a turn-on for me to see a man work with his hands and wasn't afraid of a bit of sweat.
He gave me a plant tour. I was impressed.
There were
patent plaques with his name on them along the wall. He was his only employee, except for his mom.
We ate lunch, and he threw up every excuse in the book not to go out. I noticed his hands were huge with long fingers. I got wet again.
Finally,
he
gave me hope with an opportunity to earn some of his time, but I didn't see any possibility of doing that.
He finally dropped the bombshell on me. He didn't lose the bet, and he made eighty. Damn, he should have at least split it with me. I'm pretty sure it was a joint effort. I was depressed when I left.
I sat with my family at our once-a-month family Sunday meal. I lost five pounds that week because I couldn't stop thinking about Robert. I would rather be exercising with him instead of dieting.
I knew something was off the day I had lunch with my family. First, I noticed a lot of whispering behind my back. Then Beth dropped a dime on me with what Robert said that night. "You fascinate me." That pissed me off. They had gotten all up into my business.
I stormed out. I wanted to kill them all. But Daddy locked up the guns and wouldn't give me the combination with my temper because he knows me so well.
Did I mention my dad is a genius? He pointed out the obvious. I was ready to get my man. But I needed an ally, And I knew just who to ask, his mom, of course.
After gathering my proposal, I returned to his office a week later. Unfortunately, when I walked in, he was busy loading a truck. I wanted to meet my future mother-in-law anyway, so I headed to her office to introduce myself.
