Irked with anger I slapped the cellphone shut and tossed it onto the bed in the corner. With scorn all over my face I slumped in the chair beside the bed and pouted. "Bitch," I said to no one in the room.
Just then the door opened and Kristen came in with her backpack hanging loosely off her shoulder. She could immediately spot the frustration on my face.
"What's wrong?" she asked with a look of concern.
"Oh, just my mom again. The woman is hell-bent on ruining my life," I said in disgust.
"What did she do now?" Kristen asked.
"She said I can't go out with my dad this weekend because she needs me to work," I said still upset and angry.
"What?" Kristen said looking annoyed now too. "She can't do that to you, you requested off weeks ago!"
"Yeah I know, well apparently Janine got
sick
and can't work this one and she has no other replacement."
"Tell her you have a class on Friday and you can't go!" Kristen shouted.
"She
knows
I don't have classes on Friday. It's the reason she gave me the job."
Two months ago my mother offered me a part-time position as a waitress on the cruise ship she works on. I was in desperate need of a job at the time and the thought of spending a few weekends in the Bahamas on 3 day cruises enticed me. She pulled some strings to get me hired with my restrictions of working only the 3 day sailings. It was a very part-time job, but it was a job neverthelesss, and one that would introduce me to the cruise industry. Something my mother was hoping I would get into.
Despite my constant problems with my mother, I was grateful that she had helped me get the position. Kristen was hoping to get one as well, and has been unsuccessful so far. My mother refuses to do anything to help Kristen out, since she never liked her much.
Half a year has passed since the New Year's cruise we had been on with my father. A cruise that had changed our lives for the better, and had helped my father truly understand that he did not belong with my mother. Three weeks after the cruise, my father filed for divorce from my mom, and I thought our secret affair would finally become the fulltime relationship I had envisioned. Unfortunately, he only learned my mother wasn't the one for him that wonderful week at sea. He hasn't yet realized that
I'm
the woman for him; actually, that Kristen and I are the
women
for him.
After the cruise where my father let his morals die and made love to Kristen and I for the first time since the previous summer, our affair continued on select nights at home. Kristen would come over on nights my mother was away, and we'd spend the night having a wonderful threesome in my parents bedroom. On nights that Kristen couldn't make it, my dad and I made love alone. Everything was wonderful.
My father filed for divorce just as Kristen and I were going back to school for our Spring semester. I promised my father I would be home on weekends to be with him, but things never remained the same. Free of my tirant work-aholic mother, my father found some free time, and met a woman.
After seeing her a few times, he had a long talk with me about our situation. I had always feared this conversation. It was similar to the talk we had the previous summer after our romp in the pool and in the Jacuzzi. My father told me he loved Kristen and I very much, but he knows how our relationship would not work in the normal world. He told me all about Renee, the girl he had met, and how he really liked her.
He wanted to cut off our
games
before things got 'out of hand' and told me I would find a nice guy. I was devestated, and naturally, so was Kristen after I told her. I knew my father feared our relationship leaking to the public, but to hear him call it a game really hurt me.
Is that what I was to him? Just a pawn in some game?
It was the first time in my life I was truly hurt by my father. And that ended our love affair. He went on to appologize about the way he addressed it, and promised me that it was much more to him than a game, but again he explained how it wasn't accepted in the world, and how it was best if it ended.
"That really sucks," Kristen said, "we had this planned for a while!"
"I know!" I shot back, "and you know what? This bitch Janine pulls this shit all the time!"
"Why doesn't she get fired then?" Kristen asked now just as upset as I was.
"Because she kisses my mom's ass, that's why," I said furiously.
Janine was a 22 year old girl who had been working on the ship for the past few years. She was notorious for her attitude and wasn't very well liked amongst the rest of the staff, but she knew how to play my mother and she got away with a lot of shit. This was the third time in a few months she had called out sick on a weekend cruise. Rumor has it she was off visiting her boyfriend in Fort Lauderdale when she was supposed to be "on her death bed" as she put it then to my mother. Now she was planning on playing hooky again this weekend, when I had requested off, and my mother wanted me to cover.
I wasn't sure if my mother really bought it that Janine was sick again, or if it was that she just didn't want me going with my father this weekend, and getting to know Renee better. My father had completed his sailing certification a few weeks ago, and was planning on taking Kristen and I on a sail boat he planned on renting. This weekend was supposed to be the first few days we would spend alone with my dad in months, at least we thought it would be alone. Only a week after my dad discussed the idea with us, he surprised us with the news that Renee would be joining us on the boat. When we first heard of his plans for the trip, Kristen and I privately shared the same excitement, but that was quickly destroyed when we heard Renee would be coming along.
Although my sexual relationship with my father had come to an end, I kept hope that it would only be a while before he reconsidered and
broke down
again like he did with us on the New Year's cruise. But then he met Renee, and it seemed as if any hope I had left had been vanquished. For the next few weeks I forced myself to live with his decision and his new "girlfriend", although I didn't have to like it. Kristen was having a very hard time dealing with it as well, but as weeks turned into months we both decided to move on with our lives, and forget our fantasy in which we thought would last forever. We no longer discussed my dad, though I know we both still thought of him.
We managed to deal with the end of our affair with my father as best we could, but we were having a more difficult time accepting Renee. It's not that we didn't like her, I'll admit we were harsh to her when they first started dating, but it's because she was the woman that stole my dad's heart from me,
from us
. I could even say I resented her more than my mother at the time. Renee took our petulant behavior with class and understanding, although her assumptions were a bit miscalculated. She assumed our poor attitudes were attributed to our jealousy of her replacing our mother, but in reality she would never understand that we hated her for replacing
us
as his lover!
My father didn't appreciate our nastiness toward her, and in the end we realized we were only hurting ourselves by pushing my father away from us. Renee didn't do anything to us to deserve our ridicule, and we eventually decided to accept the fact that my dad really did have feelings for Renee, and we eased our bitterness. Without ever appologizing for our behavior, Renee was grateful that we were now being more friendly with her, and to our surprise we actually took a liking to her.
She was MUCH cooler than my mother, not to mention a bit younger. She was only 28 and could pass for 21. She was very attractive and wore clothing my mother would not approve of, clothing that Kristen and I wore often. She had shoulder length reddish brown hair with light skin and hazel eyes. Her thin physique and medium breasts were very similar to me, and she was only an inch taller than Kristen. She met my father during a school field trip his class was on. She was a teacher from another school. They spent time chatting on the trip, and kept in touch. After getting to know her, I was happy my father met her. If I couldn't be the one for him, Renee definitely seemed to be suitable.
Without exchanging words for a moment or two, Kristen and I exchanged looks of complete dissapointment, but Kristen seemed to have more fury in her eyes than a moment prior. "So what are you doing to do about it?" she asked.
"What do you mean,
'what are you going to do about it?'
" I asked her not comprehending, "I can't do
ANYTHING
about it!"
"YES, you
can
," she answered with irritation in her voice. "Don't do it!" she suggested.
"What do you mean? I HAVE to do it!" I shot back.
"NO, you don't!" Kristen yelled, clearly upset by this more than I thought she would be. "This is what, like the
third
time this chick has pulled this shit and everytime she gets away with it? You should do the same damn thing!"
"What? Call out sick?" I asked.
"Fuck yeah!" Kristen said.
"Kriss, my
mom
will know I'm not sick." I said.
"How will she know? She'll be on the ship right? You call her on Saturday morning, and tell her you're sick too," she said. "Let her deal with it."
The more I listened to Kristen making excuses for me, the more I realized she was right. Fuck my mother. If she let Janine slide with it all the damn time, then why couldn't I get away with it as well? I decided to do it. I wasn't going to lose the date with my dad on the boat, regardless if Renee would be coming along.
On Friday afternoon after my last class, Kristen and I grabbed our things and headed for my house. Since our affair with my dad ended I didn't spend nearly as much time as I used to at home. Part of the reason was spite. I was upset with my father for a while for his devastating decision, but the other reason was because Kristen and I had really developed an even closer bond between us on the cruise, and we enjoyed spending nights together at the dorm on campus. We had been sharing the same bed for most of the semester, and we made love every night. I didn't want to go home to an empty bed on the weekends when I had Kristen in mine at school.
