Wednesday went by without anything new happening that I could see. What I didn't know was that Shirl and Mandy were working up a plan for Shirl to meet her and the two men they were with at VS on next Wednesday night a week from now.
It seemed that Mandy told her to tell me they were both going to the Big Brothers and Sisters executive Board meeting. That Shirl was going to take a small job as a volunteer to collect funds for the organization. She had time since she only worked a few days a week. When Shirl got home that evening she told me all about it and that in fact there was a dinner before the meeting which was at the Marriott.
I looked at her with a wondering look on my face. But before I could say anything, she assured me she wasn't going to spend the evening with Mandy in one of those hotel rooms. What she didn't tell me was she was planning to spend that evening with Jerome and his brother Lee and Mandy in a hotel room.
She even told me I could check on them if I liked; in fact I could if I wanted go with them to the dinner. But, afterwards, I would have to leave since the business meeting of the executive board wasn't open to the public. Then she told me I could always sit in the bar and wait for them if I wasn't sure she wasn't going to behave.
I smiled and almost called her bluff. I then told her that maybe I should go with her to the hotel but to rent a room for both of us. She turned a little off white when I said that, but she recovered quickly.
She then told me, " No Bud. By the time the meeting is over and I learn about the books from the old Treasurer I will be too tired to enjoy it. Let's do that another night, maybe the weekend. You know it's going to rain all weekend, so we could actually reserve the room for two days and have room services all the time."
I agreed and asked her to call me when the dinner was over. She told me she would be happy to do it. She also told me again that she wasn't planning on having sex with Mandy that night. She assured me and promised me that I could trust her.
She told me she loved me and was still thinking about our tentative agreement. She said that if we had the weekend by ourselves it might help her make her decision. I told her, "Well in that case, I'll call them right away."
I went to the phone and made the reservation at the Marriott for Friday and Saturday nights. I figured it wouldn't hurt my cause. In fact, Shirl could "fuck my brains out!"
We then went to bed but didn't make love. Shirl said she was just too tired from last night and work all day. I figured she was saving herself for tomorrow night when she was going to meet with her lover Billy. It would be her first affair that I was aware of with another man where she would actually fuck him. All the other time she had been with Mandy with girl on girl sex. So, like a good dumb ass husband I didn't fight it. I would bid my time and see what she was going to do tomorrow night. I said to myself as I rolled over facing away from Shirl, "Yes Shirl, Thursday will be a very special night for both of us. Tomorrow we'll both see if you have the guts to cheat, really cheat on me and fuck some other guy. We'll see if you can handle the emotions as well as the sexual feelings. We'll see if you really are becoming a whore for yourself and a slut for Mandy."
The next morning was Thursday and as I kissed Shirl goodbye I watched her leave wondering if this was the last day of our marriage. I went to work and didn't get much done. Around 11AM I called Shirl and asked her if she wonted to go to lunch? She told me she couldn't because she had so much work to do and was only going to go out and pick up her lunch from a cross the street in about 10 minutes, that's all the time she had.
So I drove over to where she worked since it was only about 5 blocks away from me. As I sat in my car eating my lunch from Berger King, I watched for her. I didn't have to wait long. About 10 minutes later Shirl came out and walked across then street to a small Mexican restaurant. I wondered if she was telling me the truth for once. I called her office and left a message at 12:20 PM telling her I would be much later coming home, maybe even as late as 11PM. I told her I had to go to dinner with the boss and a client and to not wait for me with dinner or bed. I then told her I loved her and would wake her up when I got home."
I moved my car to the side of the parking lot so I could see her when she come out and still have my car hidden. About 2 hours later she came out with a man I didn't know. She gave him a long and what looked like a hard hug pressing her body tight against his. He lifted her head up and she kissed him long before she walked back to her office building.
I followed the man t his car and then to his office about 10 miles away. I called work and told my assistant that if anyone, including my wife called, to tell them I was out for the afternoon and then I had to attend a dinner that night with a client. I told her I would explain everything in the morning. I then went in with a package I had my work gloves and hat wrapped in. I went into the building and asked the guard who the man was that just walked in seconds ago. He told me it was a Mr. Lee Armstrong and then asked me why?
I told him the man left a package on the steps outside. I was walking behind him and saw what he had left it. I said, "I can deliver it if you tell me where he works or I can just give it to you."
The guard looked like he didn't want to get up so he said, he's on the 7th floor and he works for an Insurance company, it's the only one on that floor you can't miss it."
I thanked him pressed 10 on the elevator and went up. The office was small and had maybe 6 people in it. I asked for Mr. Lee. The receptionist called his number and he came out. I told him I saw him leave a package outside. He of course told me it wasn't his. We chatted with each other for a few minutes and left not learning much except he was a salesman and single. He looked to be 30 maybe that would put him 8 years younger than 4 years and me younger than my wife.
I left and called Shirl again. I asked her if she got the message and she told me yes. She then said since I wasn't going to be home, she would go shopping at the mall and maybe take in a movie. I asked her which one and she told me it would be a chick flick. She then promised me she would behave herself and no she wouldn't go with Mandy. She said, "In fact Bud, I want this time for myself. I am close to giving you an answer to your question."
I said good and that I loved her. She said, "I love you to Bud!" I hung up wondering if she loved me so fucking much why was she lying to me and why was she going to meet Billy tonight. Then I said to myself, "I have to know what she will and won't do. How far has Mandy pushed her? How would she approach this night with Billy?" I had a million questions and no answers.
So I went home and showered and changed into jeans and a polo shirt. I left at 4:30 PM about a half an hour before Shirl would be getting off from work. I was wrong. When I got to her parking lot her car was already gone. I called her number and the secretary told me she had left at 4PM to attend a meeting and dinner. She wouldn't be back until tomorrow. I thanked her and didn't know where or what to do. I drove to the Iron Gate bar hoping I could see her and Billy there together.
