It was a long time ago in a land not so far away that I met the man who almost destroyed my mind. He was a bad man, an insane beast but I did not know that when I met him. When I met him he was a beautiful, curly haired, six foot tall Adonis.
I was married at the time to my first husband; he and I were having coffee at the local coffee house, trying to find some we could score some weed from, when HE came in. I tried not to notice him and fixed my attention on my husband, but you couldn't ignore this guy. He held in his hand a guitar case and he sat at the counter directly in front to us but with his back to us. He ordered coffee and a hamburger on wheat bread with all the trimmings. After he ordered he placed his case on the counter and began withdrawing handfuls of change and stacking it on the counter. It appeared that he played on the streets for money. I was intrigued. To me he looked like Jim Morrison from that group The Doors. He was tall, with a strong jaw line, deep deep brown/ red eyes and the curliest hair I've ever seen on a white man. He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a crushed pack of Camels and as I watched I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a package of rolling papers.
Looking at my husband I said that I thought that guy might have some weed; maybe he'd sell us a doobie. Shrugging his shoulders he gets up and taps the guy on the shoulder and asks if he would like to join us for coffee. He does.
He joins us in our booth and we have introductions. I learn his name is Ken, he is 33 years old, single and does play guitar down by the water, where the tourists go and yes as a matter of fact he did smoke weed and yes he'd love to smoke one with us.
We invite him to our place which was just a two block walk away. When we get there we get comfortable and Ken pulls out his stash and we burn a nice one. Feeling mellow we ask Ken to tell us more about himself. He tells us that he is staying about 8 blocks away in the large warehouse with a bunch of other guys who were all musicians. I being only 18 at the time thought he was the coolest guy I'd ever met, but my husband was bored and said he was going out in the yard awhile.
Once we are alone Ken starts to question me, I told him I was 18, had been married almost a year and had a small child. He asked me if I knew my husband was screwing one of the waitresses at the coffee house, I did not. I had had my suspensions, but never took my gut seriously. Ken told me that he'd seen my husband around town; he was pretty much whoring around on me. I was stunned and of course lost my buzz entirely. I told Ken we'd better call it a evening and showed him to the door. He met my husband in the yard bade him farewell and was off into the night.
I held Kens words in my heart and never said anything to my husband but I did start to follow him. I followed him every time he left the house. Took three days to prove Ken correct, my husband was fucking around on me. Needless to say I was angry, maybe I should have been hurt but I was angry. I wasn't angry that he was fucking around on me I was mad because the bitch was dog fucking ugly. She was about 20 pounds over weight, no muscle tone and real saggy ass and greasy looking hair. She also had acne. Bad gross acne, the kind with the REAL big whiteheads and a lot of redness, even on her back! Yep that's what pissed me off.
Now I am no beauty queen. The room as never quieted when I have entered. I have never caused some guy riding his bike to crash into a tree, but I am not ugly and I am not over weight and my hair isn't greasy looking and I sure as hell don't have any acne, you know, so what the fuck is wrong with my husband? I wasn't a prude. Christ I was pregnant at 16, can't call that prudish now can you? I was very open minded in bed, I had given birth to his child and dropped out of school and left my home and college dreams to have his child and be his wife and here he is fucking some tramp working in a greasy spoon??!! Oh man, I was so pissed. So Pissed. I get pissed now, 20 years later, thinking about it. I never said anything to anyone about what I saw; I just started to plan mine or his departure.
We had become closer friends with Ken. He had become our connection and we saw him pretty frequently. One day he didn't come by, one day became two β pretty soon a week passed and I asked my husband what he thought, he said jail. I called the jail and sure enough that's were Ken was. Busted on misdemeanor possession but he was getting out with time served the following week so all was cool.
As soon as Ken was out he was at our place. He told us that he got thrown out of the place he was living and need to stay somewhere a few days till he could raise rent money. I convinced my husband that we should let him stay at our place then he could pay us in weed. My husband, hop hound he was, agreed.
So Ken came to stay and the first days passed by fine. He slept on our couch, left to go play guitar about 9:30 and came home around 7 pm. My husband worked close to those same hours but he was gone more and more and I know all that time was not work related as our income had begun to decline.
Ken had been at our house for one week when something happened. It was late and we had all gone to bed when I woke up needing to use the bathroom. So I got up and walked down the hall.
Let me take a sec and describe our place to you. It was a mother- in βlaw cottage. It was very tiny. Had a 6x6 front porch, a 10 x 10 living room that lead to a 3 foot wide 12 foot long hall, which ended at our bedroom. On the right side of the hallway was the kitchen and on the left was the bathroom.
So I got up and walked down the hall to the john. Next to the door of the bathroom was our sofa that Ken was sleeping on. As I opened the door I glanced at him, he had slept in the nude. He was lying on his back with on hand on his stomach and one across his eyes and he had an erection. The man had the prettiest penis I had ever seen (I had only seen about 3), it was the perfect size; nicely tapered βah- it was nice. I stared for awhile, as it bobbed up and down in the air, on its own accord, went to the bathroom and went back to bed.
The next day I had a hard time looking Ken in the eye, I wasn't really thinking of him as a suitor and unlike my husband I was going to honor my vows so I never really entertained the thought of fucking Ken, but seeing his cock made me feel real funny inside. My husband says he's going to the store and departs leaving Ken and me alone. I am nervous, really don't know why, and have a foreboding sense of doom.
I decide to avoid Ken; he would be leaving in about an hour for "work" so I went to my room to read. About 15 minutes pass and I hear him call my name and ask me if I'd like to smoke a joint, dumb ass me says sure. I go to the living room and take a chair by the front door .He fires up the joint and passes it to me. I have a toke, its good stuff. He moves to a chair opposite me so we can pass the joint easier. When it's about halfway gone I get cotton mouth and decide to get a drink. I stand and tell him I'm going to the kitchen and ask if he would like something cold. He says no.
I only have one problem, now I must walk directly in front of him to get to the kitchen. I don't know how I looked but I noticed that he was watching me very intensely. I stepped -closer, closer, closer shaking inside- I get past him. I think I had stopped breathing, my heart was pounding my hand were shaking I really thought I was going to die. He never said anything.
