-Included you will find a quick recap. Of Part 1
-Reason why I bothered with a part 2 of a flash story
After getting home early from my trip and finding my wife Mary fucking and sucking Steve. Even with my lack of sex drive probably due to low testosterone levels I was sick at the thought. Sneaking upstairs, I packed what I could fit into my bag and left again for a local hotel. Leaving my house keys in the door and vengeance to be metered out by my God.

Reason for a Part 2 is My Shock on receiving 100+ comments to part 1. Normally I am lucky to get 1-3 comments on a story. Where this little flash story received so many. Comments such as "Cuckold shit" and "Should have shot him with my 1911 -- 45 automatic" and miscellaneous "Trump comments". Urban Dictionary defines Cuckold as "A man who is desperate for acceptance, approval, and affection from women. This desperation has led to the compromise of his beliefs and values, the desecration of his dignity and self-worth, and his inability to stand up for himself and what he deserves as a human being..."
-where did I state he even had a gun much less a 1911 - 45 automatic? Anyway...
-where the comments about President Trump fell into the story?...
Oh, and as for getting an Editor... I have tried. After 10 requests and no response from any... I gave up... SO... On with the story...

The hotel is clean, but thank goodness it will only be temporary. It has a bed, table, TV, fridge, and microwave. What remained of my dinner of burger and fries lay at the bottom of the waste basket along with my marriage. Thoughts of Mary on the couch with her legs spread wide for Steven reminded me of so many decades ago when we would enjoy our foursomes. I know ever since Debbie died, Steven has been in a dark place as he remained celibate morning her loss. Mary and I tried to have him over as much as possible to cheer him up. We even let him crash on that same couch many times since her death, instead of making him drive home to an empty house.
It was getting late and still no phone call. Stripping down I climbed into bed and clicked off the light. It was only 8:30, but I was tired from the drive and mentally exhausted with what I saw. It was time for me to sleep. Tossing about for a little while I was finally able to get comfortable, only to wake a short while later to the angry buzz of my phone. I answered it still a bit groggy to hear Mary telling me good night and how she was looking forward to my coming home tomorrow night.
Half asleep I say, "Good night Mary, and if you could, get my keys out of the front door for me. Good night." Hanging up the phone I roll over and try to get comfortable again.
The angry buzz of my phone started up again as I found the sweet spot of the pillows again. Reaching over I hold the on button until the phone starts its shut down. Sliding my arm back under the covers I try to fall back to sleep.
The thumping of doors opening, and closing, and kids running down the hall wakes me up. Staring at the walls for a moment I decide that it is time to start moving. Going through my on the road morning routine I leave the phone on the night stand as I freshen up and head downstairs for the free breakfast. There isn't much of anything worth having, so grabbing a coffee and bagel, breakfast is short lived. Going back up to my room I debate with myself as to whether I want to spend another night or check out.
Picking up the phone I hold the start button and setting it down I brush my teeth. Putting my razor, toothbrush, etc, back into my kit, I lean against the sink and stare at myself in the mirror. Not really liking the old man staring back at me, I try to think of what to do next. It isn't as easy as I thought it would be. I have been married to her for over forty years and it really isn't like this is the first time Mary and Steven have had sex. I also know we have both tried our best to ease his loss, but we have always done that together, with our clothes on.
I have always tried to be a good provider over the years, and I know I haven't been a very responsive sex partner for way to long. She has expressed her needs, and I shut them away because I. What? Why have I ignored her requests to see a doctor about it. I figured that I don't have a problem? Lack of caring enough about her needs, or was it just male pride? Doesn't really matter what the answer is, I took too long and now she has strayed.
They say mirrors are no friend to a woman as she ages. Well they aren't any friendlier to older overweight men that know better than to order a desert with every meal while on the road. Wiping my eyes I grab my phone and toss it into my back pocket without looking at it. There is too much to do before I can do that.
Being a Saturday I don't have to go to work so first thing is to get this rental car back. If they were open last night I would have dropped it off and grabbed my little Ford Focus from the car lot then. It really doesn't matter though for it is only a couple of exits down the interstate, from where I spent the night. Swapping cars isn't a real effort since I left my suitcase at the hotel. All I needed to do was move my tool box over to the Ford, sign the receipt, and I was out of there.
Of course my phone starts ringing as I am turn onto the on ramp on my way back to the hotel. I don't really want to answer it, but I need to talk to her some time. Reaching into my back pocket I continue accelerating onto the interstate as I answer the phone. I get to say, "Hi." about the same time that I slide over and under the wheels of a semi. The phone is thrown from my hand as the side of the car crumples under the weight of the wheels.
