"A good wife, who can find?" Ancient proverb
It was 5 AM Sunday morning on the east coast when my cell phone started pinging. We live in Williamsburg, VA where I'm a senior partner for an international law firm. Zoe, my smokin-hot wife of 18 years had been in Vegas for the weekend. She was chaperoning her niece Susie and her bridesmaids' bachelorette party along with Susie's mom, her older sister, Gwen. The caller ID simply read, Las Vegas Gov. I'm Mike Taylor, and this probably wasn't going to be good.
(Phone call beginning with Mike's answer)
"Hello, Mike Taylor speaking."
"Hey babe, I know it is early, I'm sorry to wake you."
"No worries Zoe, I'd be up in thirty minutes anyway. You OK? Everything alright?"
"I'm fine honey, but I'm afraid I need to tell you about something I've done. I don't think you're going to be happy."
The hair on Mike's neck began to stand up.
"Well, the best way to deliver bad news is get right to it. Go ahead, I'm listening."
"Last night Susie and her girls decided to party at the Hustler male strip club to get things started. Man, those boys are chiseled! Anyway, we hung there for about two hours drinking while the youngsters were dropping fives and tens in the dancer's G-strings. Gwen and I sipped on our light beers and mostly chatted although I admit I did drop a couple of tens on one particularly hot red head."
"So far so good, then????"
"Well, we ended up back at one of the dance clubs in the Mirage. Again, Gwen and I mostly just hung out and kept the bride and her pals in check. There were plenty of men, young and old, hot, and plain, sexy, and shy. I mean you could have your pick of any dozen and not made a dent in the options. The girls began dancing with some of the young meat while Gwen and I sat feeling old and out of place."
"I assume that didn't last too long."
"No babe, this one young college stud kept coming over trying to buy me drinks and get me to dance. Gwen had a fella hitting on her as well. My guy was probably 6'3" and a total hottie in the looks department. He had a smile that wouldn't quit, and he just kept flirting with me; telling me how hot I was and how I should dance with a real man."
