It had been a few years since the wife started drinking. I did my best though, I bargained, pleaded and threatened but she never gave it up. And then it happened, she went to work with alcohol on her breathe and lost her job. Well I had no choice now, I had to go back to surveying and working out of town. I wasn't at all happy about it, after all I had gotten used to be at home and being with my kids every day. To say I was angry and depressed at the same time was putting it mildly.
So I traveled, I worked and I gamed, a lot. Hell, since Donna, my wife, started drinking I had been gaming pretty hard. It was a great way to pass the time while she was either at work or passed out drunk. Of course staying faithful and killing time behind a monitor meant the love life went to shit. Yeah sure there was porn and erotic stories online to help, but something was missing. Guess you could say I missed direct human interaction.
Then it happened. One night while online playing World of Warcraft, a guildie and I were chatting. It was the usual fare, spouse problems, who was acting up in the guild, work and most of the mundane trappings of life. I don't think either of us were looking for it to happen yet it did. The subject of flirts in the game came up and I mentioned a new member of ours was putting it rather thick and she replied "Don't play with her, play with me instead I'm much safer : ) " And there I went down the rabbit hole. Ever since then I hadn't got much achieved in the game except for a lot of raging hard-ons and endless hours jerking off and typing with one hand.
My company I was working for now had a good policy of giving us a week's heads up in advance on where we were heading next, damn good thing too or I would have never pulled it off. I was heading to Little Rock in a week. Soon as I got home I was online in flash but not to play the game rather to hit the sex toy websites. I burned a good thousand on things, had a room reserved near the work site for the week and another several days passed when we were supposed to be done. I called my boss and asked for a week off after we wrapped up and he said not a problem.
The next week came and off we went. It took several hours driving with a raging boner but we got there. Me and the crew were checked in and unpacking when the front desk called, "Hello?"
"Yes sir, we have several Fed-Ex packages for you sir, they've been here since last Friday. If you like we can bring them up to your room."
"Sure, ya'll bring them up. They're kind of early but I appreciate you holding them for me."
I hung up and in a few minutes two of the front desk clerks were knocking on the door. I opened the door and saw one tall gangly looking fellow and a cute petite blonde, I let them in and they dropped the packages off on the desk. I tipped both of them a twenty and as they were leaving the blonde winked at me, "I hope you don't plan on having all that fun by yourself" and with that she giggled. I just stood there in the doorway a little shocked as she walked away, sway her ass from side to side down the hallway. As she turned the corner for the elevator she looked in my direction, smiled and lifted the hem of her uniform's skirt to expose the tops of her nylons and a very sexy garter belt and with that she was gone.
As I closed the door I thought to myself, "Now exactly how did she know what's in the boxes and my plans?" Then that's when I noticed the boxes had been opened and carefully re-taped to hide the intrusion. I smiled, "So she's one of those curious little kitties", I opened the boxes and unpacked the contents into the chest of drawers next to the California King sized bed.
The next four days we worked like devils possessed to finish the construction layout and control networks for the building project. After talking to the client and walking them through the site showing them everything I told the guys to pack it up. I called the boss, "Hey Carl, yeah it's Chuck. We wrapped up the site, yeah really a whole 4 days ahead of schedule. Yeah, I walked the client through the site and he's happy. So do I get those extra days off and what we had planned for what was left on the job?" He agreed which made me happy, "Great man, appreciate it." Now for my plan.
I had the guys drop me off at a car rental and grabbed me a nice sports car for my little stay and called the wife telling her the job was going to take another week at least. She'd never know since the way I got paid was based on the cost of the job plus with my vacation hours, with the profit margins so padded on this one I was covered. Next I called Joe, aka. Crankster, "Hey Joe, guess who."
"Muhn (my gaming handle)? Hey man, what's up?"
"Oh I'm in town amigo, look I found that little pub you always play at, mind coming over there in about thirty minutes? I want to run something by ya, think you'll like what I got planned. And make sure your alone amigo."
"Alright, I'll see you there."
I headed to the hotel room and packed up a little care package and then got cleaned up. Before long I was sitting at the pub and Joe followed in shortly after I did. There was a lot talking between us, then general crap most gamers talk about when they meet for the first time. Then I dropped the hammer on him. I told him about the night when his wife, Susan, and I had started our little gaming hook-ups. I followed up with everything after that. It took a few hours with all the details and my plans for the next week.
Considering the poor fella was just told what most would consider grounds for a justified killing, he took it rather well. He sat there mulling it over while I sipped on a single malt scotch, I needed it, trust me. I was surprised when he got up, stuck his hand out to help me up, I was expecting a left hook to sit me back down. But he ended up hugging me and wishing the best of luck with my plan.
"Hell, Chuck if anybody was going to pull that off it would be you. But, do a buddy a favor would ya?"
"Anything man."
"Make sure she has a good time."
