I jumped up startled by a strange sound. I looked over and Beth was sleeping next to me, the room was beginning to darken. I looked at the clock, it read 3:50 PM. Again the sound, it was a cell phone and it was not mine. I shook Beth gently. She opened her eyes and I am sure it took a second for her to remember where she was and what had happened."Your phone is ringing." I told her."Oh shit, what time is it ?" she replied startled.She reached for her phone and answered it and as I suspected it was Lance. He was about to leave the Country Club and he had called home to see what Beth was doing. He received no answer at home so he called her cell. She told him she was shopping but would be home soon. They talked for a few seconds more then she hung up."I have to get dressed and go home." she said, with a most disappointing look on her face."I know." , I replied, " I'm sorry I fell asleep.""It's ok, I just have to get home before he gets there."She got up and put her panties on and
They both sat at the table and made small talk. I made a real effort to look at Beth as little as possible. Lance was going on and on to my father in law about how he was supposed to be playing golf today. Apparently, two of the four members he normally played with could not make it this morning so it was called off. Soon my mother in law was finished and we were moving to the dining room to eat."Jeff, would you help me bring the food into the dining room ?", she asked me."Sure, Mom, no problem.", I replied.When everyone had left the kitchen for the other room, she touched me on the arm and looked at me with a very troubled look on her face,"Are you ok, Jeff ?", she asked, "You seem very quiet today. In fact you haven't said a word since Beth and Lance arrived.""I'm ok Mom.", I answered, "He just gets under my skin sometimes.""I know, but he is family." she said.If you only knew I thought, as she handed me the large pot of gumbo. I carried the pot to the dining room table, retu
I arrived around 9:15 PM and pulled into the parking lot. I paid the attendant and waited for a few moments for Beth and Lance. They arrived about 10 minutes later and parked. We said hello and walked toward the door. I noticed Beth looked a bit uneasy. I figured this was not her cup of tea, so to speak. We opened the door and walked into a small reception area, and were confronted by two really big men with black tee shirts that said Security on them. I told one of them I was a friend of the owners. He walked over to the table and picked up a list and scanned it. He found my name and issued the three of us a gold colored bracelet that had VIP on them. We opened the next door and walked into the main room.The place was not that crowded , there were open tables just about anyplace you wanted to sit. Both of the bars were packed and the seats by the stage were full. Two things I immediately noticed. One, the girls who were working this club were all very attractive. Second, Beth was no
The girl whose name was Sunny, began her dance on Lance. She would slide down and sit in his lap, move her hips back and forth, then move back to a standing position. Each time she would stay in the sitting position a little longer. On the last trip down, Lance reached up and put his hands on her hips. She quickly knocked them off and shook her head, then continued her dance. I could tell by Lance's movement she was beginning to get to him. I have to admit, this girl could really dance. I was getting somewhat excited just watching. I looked at Beth to see her once again fuddling with her skirt. A minute or so later, the music stopped and Sunny stood up. She smiled, bent over and gave Lance a quick kiss on the cheek."Ok, whose my next victim ?", she asked with a smile.I immediately pointed to Beth jokingly looking for her reaction. She immediately turned red and started shaking her head pointing back at me."Now, now, everyone gets a turn.", Sunny said, "Even you." she smiled looking
She walked over to us and introduced herself as Raine. She was about 5'10' tall with a body and face to die for. She was dressed in a black long sleeve silk top, with matching black silk panties and black heels. She was impeccable, with long red hair that hung in curls framing her face. She smiled as she stood in front of Beth."So, Sunny tells me its your turn young lady." she told Beth."No, no, no.", Beth replied, "One of them can take my turn.""Nope, not going to happen.", replied Raine, "Everyone had to have a turn, its club policy." she said winking."Yep.", I told Beth, "I had to have a turn, so do you."Beth tried to continue to argue the point as Raine walked over to the CD player. She scanned the rack and selected one, inserted it and grabbed the remote. She walked back over to Beth and took her hand. She pulled her off the sofa and led her over to one of the chairs. Beth sat down in the chair nervously, pulling down her skirt. Raine pointed the remote at the CD player and p
We entered the main room downstairs and looked around for Lance. I soon spotted him sitting at the bar talking to the bartender. After a second, it was apparent to both Beth and I , he was hitting on her. We approached him from behind so he had no idea we had come down from upstairs. Beth walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned and when he saw us, we got his usual annoyed look. Beth told him we were ready to leave after he finished his last drink. In typical Lance fashion, he responded."Who said this was my last drink.", he snapped at her."I think you have had enough, lets go ok. I want to be home before it gets too late.""Well I don't much give a fuck what you think, I'm not ready to go.", he responded.I knew this might happen. Lance never knew when to quit. To be honest, I was really quite surprised he had never wrapped himself around a tree or had a serious accident while drunk. I don't think he ever had a DWI either, if he did I never heard about it. Bet
I would pass Beth's everyday hoping to see her outside and give me an excuse to stop and chat. But lately she seemed to be keeping longer hours than I did. My mother in law called constantly asking me if everything looked normal around there. I told her I had not heard or seen Beth in well over a month. She told me they talked on the phone every other night or so. Then she told me something that made my heart sink."I think Beth has met someone new, Jeff.", my mother in law said."What makes you think that ?", I responded in my bravest voice."Last night she asked if it was too soon for her to be interested in another man ?", was her reply.She went on to tell me Beth had told her nothing specific, but from the conversation, she had figured that she had recently met someone. My heart sank and I felt sick to my stomach. I quickly made up an excuse and ended the conversation. I sat there stunned. I had no idea what to do. I thought about going over to Beth's and confronting her, telling
I was trying my best to be supportive but all I could think of was someone else would be holding Beth at night. After Susan's death, I had battled with just about every emotion one can have. I blamed God, blamed him for not giving me a fair shake in life. We had been successful, had a beautiful home, money, we were happy. It just was not fair. For a long time I was bitter at everything and everyone. But as time passed, I realized that no one knows what life will throw at them. Just when you think you have been dealt a cruel blow, you look around and see someone much worst off than yourself."Does Lance know about your new love interest ?", I asked Beth."No.", she replied, "But it should not matter to him. He has been seeing someone for years behind my back. So to be honest, I really am not worried about what he thinks.""I have seen it happen a lot though Beth. Guys leave their wife for someone else, they think they don't care, until their wife finds someone who shows interest, then
