"I'm not your slave," said my wife as she picked up her suitcase, and slammed the front door behind her.
She had packed only one suitcase, the essentials, and she was leaving everything else behind. The thing she wanted most in the world was never to see me again. And all because I had asked her for a pair of clean socks.
Dammit. This was a rotten situation. Not that I was madly in love with the woman. I never was. She was a convenience. She had fulfilled certain needs of mine, but now she was gone.
I'm not the kind of guy who's good at taking care of himself. I need someone to do for me. To clean the house. To do my laundry. To cook my meals. And yes. I need to get off, occasionally, too. A woman is good for so many things. And now mine had left me.
What was I going to do? I was in a real pickle.
I had never been on my own. I always had a woman taking care of me. First, my mother, and then my wife, Greta. I had moved from one caretaker to another. I didn't know how to do anything for myself. I depended on other people. On women. And now my wife was gone. She had said "I'm not your slave," and slammed the door behind her, leaving me to my own devices. How was I to deal with a situation like this?
It was dinnertime, and there was nothing on the table. Great! I'm already very slim (though muscular). I didn't need to lose any more weight. And also, I just looked in my dresser drawer and I didn't even have clean socks and underwear for tomorrow. What the fuck had that bitch been doing the last couple of weeks? Not my laundry. And the house was a pigpen. I should have seen this coming. I should have noticed the little ugly looks she was giving me all the time when I told her to do something.
And recently she's been lying there like a sack of Idahos, when I plowed her pussy. No response at all. Not that I really needed a response. I just needed to get off. She had been a real convenience. Everything had been working so well, and now everything was broken. The house was a wreck. My life was a shambles.
Well. One down. She wasn't the only cunt on the beach. I would find another. There's always some nice lady happy and anxious to take care of a handsome, rugged, slim (but well-muscled) stud like me. Yes. Fuck her. I was going to be fine. I'd just go down to Spiffy's Bar and find myself another one. But I had to do it quick if I didn't want to have to do a laundry.
I know. I know. I could have hired a maid for the housework. I could have hired a prostitute for the bedwork. I know. I know. But I don't make that kind of money. I've got space in the bed, and I just need someone who's gonna take care of me, and be happy for the space in the bed. That shouldn't be so hard to find. Like I told you. I'm a handsome, sexy fuck. I work out at the gym. I'm buff. I'm toned. Muscles. You name 'em. Biceps, Triceps, Pecs, Lats, Abs, Glutes. I've got 'em all. Enough to keep any woman happy. Fuck that bitch. There's plenty around that's gonna be glad to get me.
I found a frozen chicken potpie in the freezer and put it in the microwave. Fuck. I hate cooking. But I had to eat. I took the pie out and put it on the table. I ate it. It was fucking awful. Phooey. I spit out half of it. I looked at the instructions on the side of the package. Oh. You're supposed to bake it. Not microwave it. Well how the hell was I supposed to know that? I'm not a gourmet chef, am I? Fuck.
I needed to do something and fast. I needed a cook. I needed a cleaning lady. And most immediately, I needed a laundress. I hate wearing dirty socks and underwear.
After dinner, if that's what you'd call that garbage I had just swilled down, I went down to Spiffy's. There were a lot of good-looking women in there, mixing with the guys. Slugging down bottles of beer. Yes. I would certainly find what I was looking for in Spiffy's. I looked at the other guys. Most of them had no physical definition. A lot of them had beer bellies. I was definitely a stand out in this crowd.
I sat down at the bar next to a good-looking lady and ordered myself a beer.
I looked at her and smiled. She smiled back.
"Can I order you a beer?" I offered.
"Sure, why not," she said. I called the bartender over and said "Another one for the lady," as she gulped down the rest of the beer in her bottle.
"Richie," I said, stretching out my hand.
"Cora," she said. We shook hands.
I bought her five more beers, and things were going along pretty good, and I was about to invite her over for the night, (and to wash my socks in the morning) when this motorcycle type dude steps up next to her.
"Come on, babes. Time to go home?"
"Yeah, honey," she said to him.
What the fuck?
"This here's my old man, Bucky," she said to me.
"This here is Richie. We been talking." She introduced me to Bucky.
Numbly I shook hands with Bucky.
"Thanks for the beers," she said, and she and Bucky left the bar.
What the fuck? This cunt's been sitting next to me talking all night, drinking my beers, and she's got an old man? She just went home with Bucky, and I'm sitting here all alone, with nobody to wash my socks? And it's late. It's fucking late. It's too goddamn fucking late to start looking for someone else. Fuck her. I mean. Fuck her. Fuck fucking Cora. Bitch. Cunt.
I was in a real bad mood when I got up from my stool and left the bar. A black black mood. You wouldn't have wanted to meet up with me. I was ready to slug someone. I really was.
I walked down the main street to where I had parked my car. I heard a lot of loud music and noise coming from behind a closed door. I looked up at the sign. The Blue Parrot. It was another bar. I had never even heard of it. From the sounds coming through the door, they were having a real good time in there. Maybe I should check it out.
I opened the front door, and got blasted with a wave of loud rock disco. There were people crazy-dancing in the middle of the room. It was a dance floor, I guess. I figured I would have a beer and see what was happening. I went up to the bar, and ordered a bottle. I leaned against the bar, and looked at the dance floor, at all the happy dancers.
It was then that I noticed that they were all guys. A lot of them had their shirts off, and they had pretty good muscle definition, as opposed to the guys in Spiffy's. Where the hell were the women?
Suddenly I realized, I was not alone at the bar. There was a young guy standing next to me, rocking with the music as he drank from his bottle. He smiled at me. I smiled at him.
"You're new here," he noticed.
"Yeah," I said. "I didn't even know this place was here. I was just passing by and heard the music."
"Well, welcome to The Blue Parrot," he said. "I'm Andy." He stuck out his hand, and we shook.
"Richie," I said.
We chatted for a while, and I told him all about how my wife had left me, the cunt, and I had no one to wash my socks and my underwear. He had his own tale of woe. It seems he had been staying with a friend, but the friend had kicked him out, for whatever reason, and he had nowhere to sleep, and no money for a hotel. Poor Andy. I felt sorry for him. Life was giving the two of us a slap in the face.
