I woke once in the night to rhythmic movement from the other side of the bed. Divi was obviously masturbating and when she rolled into her orgasm, she softly groaned and whimpered as sharp, pulsing throbs vibrated through the mattress. I didn’t reveal that I was awake and in moments I wasn’t.
When I woke again, I was lying on my left side facing the wall. Divi was jabbing my shoulder blades. I glanced at the digital clock on my nightstand. It was 5:28 AM. If the sun wasn’t up it would be soon. Divi jabbed me again and then she pulled herself up to my head and whispered in my ear. “There’s a naked woman standing in the doorway to the bathroom.” My immediate thought was, ‘Sure there is.’
Divi nudged me again and I thought, ‘Fuck. Is it Brie? It couldn’t be Ashley. Divi knew her.‘ I opened my eyes and lifted my head and looked. I dropped my head back on my pillow and muttered, “Fuck.” It was Janet. I lifted my head again to see if Mom was there too. She wasn’t.
Janet walked in and lifted the covers and pushed herself in beside me forcing me to move toward Divi. Divi said, “What the fuck? Who are you?”
Before Janet could say anything, I introduced Janet to Divi and vice versa by names only. I didn’t elaborate on Janet’s connection to me. I let Divi think Janet was just some other woman that I met around the lake. God knows there had been a few.
Janet examined Divi leaning on my shoulder looking down at her with a disapproving glare. She turned her attention from Divi to me and said, “Wow Jack. She’s beautiful. Is she old enough?” The sparks flew as Divi came up on her knees and glared down at Janet.
Not knowing my relationship with Janet, she unwittingly said, “Who is this old broad? Is she your mother? Grandmother maybe?” I just groaned. The cat-fight was on.
Janet came up on her elbow to achieve a more equal height with Divi. Janet was about to go to battle stations and I sat up to block her view of Divi. I said, “Janet. Leave it alone.” Janet’s eyes were ablaze and I repeated my command, “Leave it alone. Why are you here?” as if I didn’t know. “Where is, ummm, your partner in crime.”
Janet laughed and said, “Seriously. Do you mean Mo…?” I cut her off in mid-sentence with a finger to her lips and a glare that would melt granite. She rephrased her question, “Do you mean mmmy sister.” I grinned at her and she grinned back.
“Ummm. She’s back at the camp. We’re going home today. We had a great time with Cousin Rita and Frank. Mo… ummm, my sister wanted to come this morning but then she didn’t and then she did. I gave up on her and came alone. I know you get up early and I wanted to get here before you were up and out.” She glanced toward the dull gray windows and groaned, “Fuck, it’s early. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten up this early.”
When Divi heard Janet say ‘Rita and Frank’, she tried to get a word in and finally said, “You know Rita and Frank?”
Janet looked past me to Divi and then back at me and said, “Oh Jack. You didn’t. You took Miss India here to one of Rita’s parties? Wow, Frank must have been in heaven.” I glanced away from her. I was embarrassed to admit that I had.
