It's the middle of August and already my son of a bitch husband has started his annual pilgrimage to his "man cave" to watch football. It doesn't matter if it's college or the pros Barry just can't get enough.
From now until the middle of January I'll be a football widow and he'll forget that I even exist.
Pre season means Thursday night games of the local pro talent. The pig skin addict's chance to see if the top draft choices actually are worth the millions their being paid.
After a quick supper Barry announced he was going downstairs to catch a game. "Oh of course." I said adding. "See you in January."
Barry looked over his shoulder with a disgusting grin on his lips. I think he actually enjoyed doing this every fall.
I flipped him off just before he disappeared down the basement stairs to his man cave.
"Fuck him." I thought. "I'll just go spend some of his hard earned money."
I went upstairs to our bedroom and changed into a tight pair of jeans and an even tighter white tank top. I ran a brush through my short auburn hair and slipped into a pair of sneakers. Perfect for an evening of shopping at the Strawberry Square Mall.
Barry's law degree and junior partnership at Yost, Yost and Burns allows me to enjoy almost anything I like and what I like most is shopping.
I put the top down on my silver SLK55 AMG and sped off to the mall without saying good bye to Mr. Pig Skin.
Strawberry Square is a short drive and in no time I was pulling into a space at one end of the mall.
As I approached the entrance a couple of college boys strolled by and checked me out. I was happy to realize that at thirty five I could still attract the attention of a couple twenty year olds.
But then again I do work out regularly and since Barry decided he wanted his trophy wife to have, as he put it, "slightly bigger tits" my tank tops reveal enough to attract anyone with a cock between his legs.
First stop Monica's Boutique.
"PEG!" Monica nearly screamed as I rounded the corner of her display window and entered her shop.
"Hi Monica whats new?" I asked.
Monica smiles all the time but her smile widened as she approached me.
"Peg I don't think I've seen you all summer. Where ya been darlin?" Monica asked.
My golden tan should have told her but I answered. "Spent eight weeks down the shore this summer."
Monica shook her finger at me and warned. "That sun is gonna give you wrinkles if your not careful Peg."
"Maybe but I still love relaxing on the beach and letting my skin bake." I admitted knowing Monica was completely correct in her warning.
"So darlin what brings you to the mall on a Thursday night?" Monica asked.
"Football." was my one word reply.
Monica grinned and said. "Oh yes another glorious football season. My business always picks up when the gridiron action begins."
"So show me whats new Monica." I asked.
"Right this way Peg." Monica answered waving me past and deeper into her cute little boutique.
