Chapter 7: Dance With Me
Why would Fred pull such a stunt and just go home? That's how we all perceived it as we sat down at the table. Passing the note back and forth, we'd look at each other, wondering. In time, I got up to check on the chicken in the oven and James made us drinks without anyone asking. Cindy idly toyed with the box of cards, tilting it different ways or tapping it against the table.
After taking a couple of good sips of her drink, Jen leaned back in her chair, stretched and declared, "Enough of this, what're we gonna do?" Once more we looked at each other, but slowly, sheepish grins began to appear. Here we were, all nude and we'd already been messing around. Plus of course, I had received my very first blow job, and not from my wife, but from Jen. Grins became giggles, which became chuckles, and quickly we were all laughing out of control. Flirtatious, teasing looks and remarks ensued, along with plentiful laughs.
Thinking I may have gone overboard a bit I looked to my wife. Rather like in a poker game we tried to read each other it seemed. Cindy blinked first, stood and went to put water on to boil for the corn. She also got out the macaroni salad.
Oh oh,
I thought, maybe she's not too happy about that blow job after all. Facing the cupboards she spoke out, "George, I'm okay with it. Jen can borrow you."
Pretty much stunned, not only by my wife's words but also the rather casual way she had come out with it, I began to rise, but hesitated. Was standing with her back to us her way of being able to say what she had? Was this another way of saying,
I dare you?
I was torn between being reactive and upset or simply telling her not to be silly. Emphasizing my love for her or rushing to hug her for the acceptance of the apparent lust. She had seen the wild kissing and the oral Jen had given and hadn't gotten mad, then.
Hell
, she'd even spoken about it lightly with Jen.
Oh shit,
did she want us to do a full swap? She had been messing with James. Staying where I was, I tried to interpret my wife as I studied her back. Cindy still hadn't even glanced at me. She seemed as to have found something interesting about the counter top. It was too quiet.
"It's not going to happen," I declared as I fought the urge to acknowledge Jennifer's presence by looking at her.
"George it's okay, really. I've done some things. ... You didn't get upset." Turning now to look at me she continued, "I've got to be grown up too."
I wanted so much to refute her, saying marriage was about love, devotion, fidelity, not sexual desire for another. Then maybe in her way Cindy was saying the same thing, she loved me and knew I loved only her. Words couldn't begin to express all that I felt at that moment.
Sitting down again, Cindy took my hand and said lovingly, "I know you love me, that shouldn't be an issue." A grin rapidly forming, she peeked at Jen and continued, "I might be naughty and watch."
Hearing the sound of water boiling over Jennifer jumped up to fix the problem. After putting the corn in she went to Cindy, bent and kissed her cheek. Changing things away from the moment she asked, "James, help set the table?"
Tugging my wife to stand, I led us out to the porch. "I feel kinda sick, nervous about this, you sure?"
Nodding Cindy solemnly offered, "It's plain you want each other. Isn't it allowed for you to experience things too? How was your first blow job by the way?"
I think I groaned before I tried asking, "Youβ¦gonna...?" was all I could manage to get out, and I resorted to indicating James with my eyes.
Cindy sighed, "I'm not sure. Would be nice maybe, good, I think." Then mewling, "I can't decide. Can we just see how it goes?"
Kissing my girl, I tried to humor her. "We're like a couple of virgins." Suddenly a penny dropped. "Shit! Fred did this on purpose, he set this up."
Cindy's jaw dropped at the same instant her eyes grew very large. "That bugger, he got James and me talking, and you two. He, well we, saw you and Jen kissing at the picnic table too," she remarked, summarizing.
During supper James asked my wife, "How'd you know about alto and other things? You a singer?"
Cindy blushed but didn't respond. After prodding from me she revealed, "I was in the choir at school, and a musical play or two. And
no
I won't sing!"
"Pleeese," encouraged James, but she emphatically shook her head.
Cindy ended with, "Was in the church choir and had lessons."
"Lessons, wow! You sing popular stuff? Choir isn't, but musicals?"
"If I like it," Cindy shrugged. "Doesn't matter the genre or era. You sang older, have a favorite artist?"
"Sam Cooke maybe, dad does that age, tourists liked it. I do different things but I like dad's kind most."
Cindy and Jen cleared the table and started the dishes. The two beautiful nudes began a busy conversation I couldn't make out. Jennifer went over to James and they whispered to each other. Returning to the sink they resumed their confab and became fairly animated. I wasn't being immature, okay, I did want to know what they were talking about, but drinks needed to be made. After pouring the rum, I took all our glasses over to the fridge for ice and mix. To my disappointment the girls clammed up while I was near.
Dishes done, Jen returned and took hold of my hand as she sat, seemingly trying not to smile about something. My wife, who looked very red, came over, took a fair drink from her glass, then turned to James. Holding out a hand, quietly she prompted, "Dance with me."
They walked to the open area beyond the kitchen. Standing with her back to the table and James toward it, he gazed into my wife's eyes. Taking hold of his shoulders she admonished him to not look then pulled him close, positioning her head to the side of his. James put his arms about her waist and after a pause Cindy began humming, something that seemed catchy and vaguely familiar. They began to lightly sway, then we heard my wife's lovely voice.
Don't know much about history. Don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book. Don't know much about the French I took.
James, who appeared curious moments before, was now broadly smiling.
But I do know that I...wantβ¦you.
