After living next door for about 2 months, Connie and my wife Ellen became close. Connie's husband Al and I were occasional friends that hardly ever had a spare moment due to golf, travel and other weekend obligations. I was semi-retired but still consulted from time to time so my schedule was never the same. It also meant a lot of golf.
Al traveled a lot for his marketing firm. He too played golf, but usually away. I felt that he preferred to be away and I also felt that Connie was okay with that arrangement. Al and I were okay with missing each other from time to time because we didn't have a lot in common. But the wives seemed to thrive off of each other.
Ellen and I had enjoyed helping them get settled. Well, ELLEN enjoyed helping get Connie settled in. I still get very aroused thinking about the images and glimpses I caught of the two of them in the office the first time they had met each other. It was HOT to say the least. Ellen still kept this a closely guarded secret, which made me wonder what other "adventures" she and Connie were keeping to themselves.
I wanted to tell Ellen that I knew about them but at the same time I wanted to let this "romance" blossom... so I was smart enough to keep my mouth shut and flexible enough to let her enjoy it. Before Connie, this was just a fantasy that I had dancing around in my mind. Ellen would have been mortified if I told her I knew. I also feared that would end it completely - and I did not want that at all. In addition to that loss of trust, I that would have led to me having to defend myself against my wife AND Connie. So I just let it be.
I suspected MORE was taking place, but I just ignored things because I saw this as harmless experimentation on Ellen's part, and she was happy. I also saw it as a way for Connie to fill a void. The benefit for me?
Well, I saw this as a way for some of my "forbidden fantasies" to come to life - even if I wasn't included at present. I kept telling myself she loves me enough to include me when the time is right for HER and for Connie. So there was something to gain for all of us, except for Al. I got the feeling that he was okay with not being included, not knowing and not getting.
But what I didn't know was driving me crazy.
The first time they met, it was animal magnetism. Connie looked familiar to me (the down town Hilton) but I could not be completely certain.
A week or so after their "meeting" in the office, Connie invited Ellen over on a Saturday afternoon to help her unpack the kitchen. The ladies got a LOT done, but Ellen didn't get home until 11pm. Once she came home, she went straight to bed and slept until 10:00 the next day. Al was out of town (of course).
Connie invited us both over for supper the next evening. She was a horrible cook but had great taste in wine. Ellen and her seemed to have a lot of "inside jokes" and laughed a lot more than I did though the evening. They also sucked down 2 bottles of wine (I had one glass).
"Just let this happen big guy" I kept telling myself.
Connie was either laughing about something Ellen said, or a story she had told her throughout the evening. When she wasn't laughing, she was complaining about the things that Al hadn't done since they moved in.
"That sonofabitch would rather play golf with the senior partner on a fucking Saturday than stay home and put up the blinds in the bedroom so we can fuck." Connie would complain.
The garage was a total mess. There were boxes where the TV was supposed to be. There was luggage in the closet and along the wall in the bedroom. She still had to park her car in the driveway and the patio furniture that he had to have was still in boxes ON the patio.
"This guy is worthless..." I thought to myself.
We made it though dinner and left for the night. Ellen and I stumbled back to our house. As I was unlocking the door, I got a text message, from Ellen.
"Ellen forgot her phone - Con"
