Gary looked down at the tight curves of Suzy’s buttocks under the flannel cloth, raised his hand high in the air and swung as hard as he could. When his hand smacked the cloth the pain ran through his fingers like an electric shock and he wasn’t prepared for Suzy’s reaction.
Suzy fell forward on the bed and without looking back she said softly, “You just won yourself a place on the sofa.”
Gary felt empty and wanted to tell his teacher she gave him the worst possible advice. He turned and stepped toward the living room, glanced though the window and saw Lane’s living room lights on but all the drapes were closed. He looked at the sofa as he heard the sheets in his wedding bed rustle. When the light went out in the bedroom Gary sat down on the sofa and began giggling. A few moments later he heard rustling in the bedroom, then the toilet flush, then unbearable silence. Gary had nothing else to do except curl up on the sofa and wait for a dream.
That night Gary had a strange dream. Three females were grabbing at him and begging him to take them but he resisted. One was a little girl, one was a young woman, and one was an old lady but they all looked the same. He woke and heard nothing except a single cricket chirping in the distance. Gary began to sense he was lost and would never find himself then suddenly he heard a car’s breaks squeaking outside the living room window then a car’s door close. He got up and pulled the drapes slightly open and peered through the window. He watched a shadow walking up Lane’s walkway as his heart began to beat harder and as he waited to see what would happen next as his heart began pounding in his ears.
“Don’t answer the door Elaine,” he whispered as he watched the large shadow stand motionless on Lane’s stoop.
His ears strained to hear anything, but when Lane’s door opened the light from the interior lit up the entrance and Gary saw the shadow of a large man present something to Lane. “No Elaine, don’t take it from him,” whispered Gary.
Gary watched as the couple embraced and as his heart began to feel empty, suddenly the man bound down the walkway, jumped into the car, then drove away as Lane slowly closed her door.
Gary’s emotions were driving him insane and he sat on the sofa to gather his thoughts while speaking softly to no one. “I have to get my shit together … I’m loosing my mind …I just know it … I want to fuck Lane’s tits … I want to fuck Suzy up her ass … Mindy will never love me enough to fuck me,” then he sighed with the feeling of despair filling him.
Sunday morning Gary woke and the house was empty of any scent of Suzy. He ran to the bedroom and found an unmade bed then he ran to the bathroom and glanced around for signs of any female artifacts. When he saw everything was pretty much normal he scratched his head then ran to the living room, opened the drapes and gazed at the half open drapes of the right hand window across the street.
“Oh Lane, I have a shit load of questions, and I need truthful answers, right now,” Gary whispered as he pulled the hem of his shirt out of his trousers.
