As I lay there in my bed, my wife slept in hers. She continued to mumble as she slept. I heard parts of what she was saying. Each word on its own made no sense. But put them together and something about what she said did.
Shirl said, "Paul... mum... sucking... pussy... yes... Yes!" A little later I heard her moan, "Mandy... and... umm... Mandy... Bud... fucking!
And still a few minutes later I heard her say, "See... fucking... and... sharing... men."
And finally as she talked I heard her say in a sort of hypnotic voice, "Bud... yes... Mandy... fucking... yes... husbands... nice... more... ass.
Jesus I said almost lout loud. If you put them all together she knows about the other night! How the hell was that possible? And if she knew why didn't he say something?
I said, "What Shirl?" She moaned, "Mandy... fucking." That was it!
I moved closer and asked again, "What did you say?" She grunted. I asked louder, "What about Mandy?"
Shirl rolled over facing me now and said, "What about Mandy? What do you mean Bud?"
I said, "You were talking in your sleep Shirl but at first I wasn't sure so I asked you what you said. What did you say?"
"How the hell do I know I was sleeping!" and she rolled back over facing away from me.
That did it now I would never get to sleep. I did but it was very late. The next morning was a workday and as usual she was up at 6AM and finished by 7AM. She woke me and I got ready. After dressing I came down to say good bye and off she went. Twenty minutes later so did I.
I wondered about what she said in her sleep almost all day. She always mumbled in her sleep for years. Usually it was something from work or the kids or the movie we saw or if she was upset by something. But she was talking about what sounded like the three-way I was involved in with my best friend Paul and his wife Mandy. How did she know? It had only happened a couple of days ago. I would try and find out tonight.
As I got home she was already in the kitchen working on dinner. I came in took a beer and sat down at the kitchen table. She didn't even acknowledge I was there until she had finished what she was doing. Then she came over and kissed me and said, "Hi. You just get in?"
I said, "Yes! DA! I could have been rapist and you wouldn't have known it. What were you doing that you miss me opening the refrigerator and popping a beer?"
She said, "It was important, I was over in the corner writing down a few things. We have to talk after dinner. I want to make sure I have all my notes and information together when we do."
I wondered immediately what was going on and what we were going to talk about. "What? Why not talk now? Why wait until after dinner?" I asked.
She said, "I don't want to wreck dinner and what we have to discuss might just do that. So you'll have to wait."
And I did! She ate slowly and we cleaned the table and did the dishes slowly and finally about 2 hours later she told me, "Let's go into the living room."
As I sat in my chair and Shirl in her chair she said, "I think you are spending to much time with Paul. Or, maybe it's Mandy you're spending the time with. Is it? Are you seeing Mandy or is she seeing you? Is Paul involved?"
I didn't say anything but I could feel the heat going up my neck and knew I was getting red. I said, "Mandy! What's wrong with you. Paul is one of my best friends, and you think I'm fooling around with his wife? You are sitting there saying I'm cheating on you and Mandy cheating on Paul? What's your problem?" Nice cover Bud if I do say so myself.
She wasn't moved at all. She looked at me and said, "Well I seemed to have hit a tender spot. Just look at you. Seems I might be more right than wrong. So, I'll say it again. Have you been fucking Mandy?"
I said, "That's so wrong I'm not even going to answer it with a comment. Just because you're not giving me any doesn't mean I'm bopping the neighbor."
She said, "Well it sure doesn't look that way. Your face is red and you can't sit still. You even look like your forehead is sweating a little. If you're not having sex with her you sure want to!!"
I smiled then and said, "Yea! I guess I do!" She just looked at me and I continued. "Married to you I think about having sex with every attractive woman I see. I'm horny all the time. You're such a cold fish I rather jerk off when you're like this!"
She said, "Like what? Like a wife who knows her husband is cheating on her."
I said, "Yes, God damn it! Yes! Especially when he's not. But since you asked me I'll tell you. Yes! I would love to fuck Mandy! In fact I would like to fuck most of the neighbors around here. I jerk off think about her or some other beautiful WARM woman. You sure as hell don't care about sex with me so why shouldn't I think about having sex with other women?"
She said, "Well I think it's not just thinking, I still think you're having real sex with her. I gave you one more chance to tell me the truth, don't forget that Bud. You had your chance."
