Revelation: 9 β Friday (Ken & Karen)
6:15 a.m.! Here I stand with coffee in hand watching Karen swim laps in the pool thinking that I have to find a way to make that woman learn the joys of sleeping in! I stood there drinking my coffee watching her and thinking how good her form was as she stroked up and down the pool.
I finished my coffee, put my coffee mug down, walked over to the pool and, taking a deep breath, dove in. What the hell, I needed the exercise and I also needed to earn some points with Karen because I knew that shortly we were going to have a 'talk' and while I wasn't too worried about it I wasn't looking forward to it either.
When I hit the water Karen stopped swimming and looked over in surprise. When I surfaced I grinned at her, winked and started to swim some laps. For the next 20 minutes or so we swam laps, she swimming up the pool while I swam down. My lack of exercise over the past week or two was having its effect and I found myself beginning to tire. I decided that I had had enough.
When Karen realized that I had quit she swam up next to me and said, "Okay, Pudgy, let's go, three laps. Loser has to buy breakfast," and without waiting she took off.
Three laps! My wife is devious! She knows that I can take her in one lap and two laps gives her a 50-50 chance of winning but three laps throws the race to her.
We sat quietly drying off and sipping coffee. Surprisingly Karen was not ragging on me about her three-body length win.
"Ken, I love you."
Oh, oh, start of 'the talk'!"
"I love you too, Babe."
A long pause.
"I got jealous yesterday."
"You? Jealous? Of what? Of me?"
Where was this going?
"I don't know. For some reason I just felt jealous when you went back to the house and never called me like you were supposed to. I figured that you were playing games with Ann and maybe even Sarah and Kali and for some reason I got jealous."
Not at all what I was expecting but never one to look a gift horse in the mouth I could be magnanimous.
"Babe, I'm sorry I didn't call. I never meant to hurt you or make you feel jealous. As to playing games, yeah, Ann and I had a little fun. After everything that has happened over the past week or two it never entered my mind that you would have a problem with that."
"That's what's bothering me. Up until yesterday I wouldn't have minded. I don't know why I felt like that. I mean I've been okay with you fucking other women until yesterday. Why did I feel like that?"
"I'm not sure. Do you feel that way now?"
"No, not really. Oh I mean I would have liked to be there with you but right now am I jealous of you having sex with Ann? No. Not really!"
"Good. I don't want you to be jealous or to feel hurt or left out." I sat and thought for a few minutes. "You know, maybe we are both kinda taking each other a bit too much for granted. I think we probably need to be a bit more considerate of each other and to have some time to ourselves. You know that I love you more than I ever have. I will never do anything that makes you doubt how much I love you. What do you want me to do?"
Karen didn't answer me but slid over and put her arms around me and hugged me. I put my arms around her and hugged her back. We just sat there like that for a long time. Karen had her head nestled up against my chest and after a bit very softly said, "Would you be mad with me if I told you I wanted to have sex with another man?"
That question stopped me for a minute. I didn't immediately respond because I didn't know how to respond. Guys, there are questions and then there are questions! For some questions there are no right answers. Period! Give it up, say what your thinking and take the heat.
For other questions, usually the ones that seem to have a very obvious answer, you have to be very, very careful of your answer. While not a confirmed law these questions can usually be answered successfully be choosing the apparently WRONG answer.
However, the most insidious questions are those that require that you get inside of the mind of the woman asking them to figure out what answer she wants. In almost every case you will answer wrong! This just could be one of the later.
While I was trying to figure out the answer Karen pulled her head off my shoulder and looked up at me. "Did you hear what I asked?"
No time to figure this one out, I was just going to have to go with my gut on this one! I looked down at her and smiled. "I heard. No, I won't be mad with you. Is there some specific guy you want to have sex with?"
"No."
"You just want some strange cock?"
