Susan made that little pucker with her mouth again as she cut her eyes over towards Kari. Seeing Kari nod confirming my words, Susan cringed then actually flashed daggers at her friend. I filled in some blanks for Susan as I spoke to Kari, "I'd caught you and snake boy flirting and sending co-conspiratorial messages to each other at the previous block party. Then I caught you on the phone with him. Then I caught you discussing your time with him with your friends. You stonewalled me when I confronted you, not telling me there was nothing to worry about, rather telling me to trust you to let you continue whatever it was that was going on ... until you tired of it."
"No, that's not what I said." Kari wasn't fighting, she was earnest that I believe her.
"You said to trust you, because "it would be over soon.""
Kari hung her head. "Damn it, once again I see your interpretation, but that's not what I meant. I meant the ending of the operation." She paused then surrendered, "But damn, not knowing the operation existed what else could you think?"
Kari started to say something I cut her off. "Kari, answer this honestly, no beliefs, no spin doctoring, just hard facts. Did you see Lewis before the party while I was gone?"
"No, Barry, I didn't see him before the party. I swear. I'm being completely honest, no degrees or shading!" Kari seemed relieved to be able to say that. I was sure she was telling the truth.
"Kari, I asked you to not go to the party, and to not see him. You wouldn't make any such promise, not even to your husband, the man who loves you, who you knew was suffering because of your actions. Instead, you sent me away with the expectation that you were going to see the P-hound of the Baskervilles despite my feelings. While I was gone, I had no idea if you saw him every night, if you were staying at his place, or if the two of you were together in our bed! But I knew you'd be with him the night of the block party.
"That night I sat in my room holding my phone, wanting to call you a hundred times. Except I had a great fear. I was practically certain you were cheating that night, what if you refused to answer my call? I'd have to presume you were with him right that second and couldn't be bothered with your old baggage: me. After all, you never promised me you wouldn't go to the party, and it was well established between us that if you went, it was to see him."
Susan absolutely glared at Kari.
"Kari, what if I called and you talked to me and lied? What if I could tell you were with him right then?! Either way I'd know you didn't love me anymore; that you were contemptuous of me! I'd know I'd lost you for sure.
"S-So I sat on the edge of my bed for hours, holding that phone wanting to call, yet scared to death to call, crying my eyes out. I felt like it was best to believe I'd lost you for that night and maybe for a little longer, while perhaps I could possibly have you again in the future, rather than confirm you were already completely gone."
I had to stop for a while. I feared I was sniffling until I realized the sound was both women crying.
"So uh, the guys were keeping an eye on you, Kari. You went and met Lewis. You took him somewhere where the guys didn't see. I fear our house as the guys said you left early."
Kari cried harder.
"You took him some place where you danced and slow danced, groped, and caressed, kissed and made out. If you went to his house I don't know when you left or if you left. You weren't supposed to do any of that, so how do I know you didn't ball when you tell me you didn't? How do I know you didn't stay the whole night and ball the whole time?"
Kari was heaving sobbing now. She looked lost, hopeless. Then a fiery determination took her. I feared Kari was about to make her last stand. She struggled to answer me.
"Barry," Kari's voice was practically a hiss, she wasn't capable of giving full voice, "I left the party early and went home. B-But only to make it look good. Forgive me Barry, then I went to Lewis' house."

dirtyoldbiman4 months ago5 more pages of blah, blah, blah. I quit reading. must be written by a marriage consular, lawyer or a politician. LOL
AllNigher7 months agoJesus, why'd I read that? This could have been dummed up in two paragraphs or less.
You cheated. You kissed each other... Stop with the bullshit u didn't kiss back... You didn't stop it so you were ok with it so you were kissing together. Groping each other together. Touching Private parts of each other... Together. You jacked him off. You whispered seductively to each other and made plans of running off whether real or pretend. The reason makes no difference if you weren't somehow forced. You did those things and that's cheating.
If she wants to say not true, the simple answer is bullshit, see above. Why does that take 5 pages especially when it's already been covered n previous chapters....
And I agree with highbrow in terms of the speech... Not speeches it read practically like a soliloquy where no one got a word in edgewise...
Anonymous8 months agoPart of ur description says bring in Perry Mason. Perry wouldn’t have taken this long to figure things out.
Anonymous8 months ago"Feeling each other up, sharing kisses, chewing on each other in a passionate embrace; that's adultery.."
====> certainly cheating but as described, not adultery as that requires sexual intercourse.
Despite that this story has gone off the rails with long dialog chains repetition, and overkill analysis.
And now we get the reveal she went to Lewis' house. Seems like the whole chapter was to pontificate and then get to that tidbit. Seems there is no way she can prove she didn't go agrther than the night he caught them. Whatever. I did like the James Bond analogy though.
Anonymous8 months ago"As far as I'm concerned this DOES count as cheating! Feeling each other up, sharing kisses, chewing on each other in a passionate embrace; that's adultery. You'd done it before in varying degrees. You went out of your way to do it when you knew I'd be away. That's conspiring to do it, which is no accident. All of those are defining elements of cheating. Of an ongoing affair actually."
Yeah, yeah..
And tell me, dear Kari, did he just caress your earlobe or did his fucking disgusting little finger penetrate your auditory canal? And how deep? Did you come when he touched your virgin eardrum? Or maybe he's so good that you whirled in a string of orgasms when he reached for your cerebellum?
Well, nonsense... With such a degree of jealousy and arrogance, this man should walk with two Colts on his belt and shoot every male who dared to look at his precious wife... Well, what about it? Did you look at the tits? Get a bullet between your eyes, you libertine!
Anonymous8 months agoIt reminded me very much of a story (I don't remember the name and author), where a loving wife, out of the best and kindest intentions, decided to meet and talk to a boss who undeservedly underestimated, bullied and schemed her husband... From a cup of coffee to lunch, from dinner together to dancing, from a kiss on the cheek and a night in a motel... And when the discouraged husband found out about her "help" in his career, his wife also made big eyes and was surprised and indignant: "But, dear! I did it all for you, for us... So that you never come home so tired and annoyed again..."
Anonymous8 months agoAnd further... And Kari didn't consider the possibility that Lewis would get too excited and, taking advantage of his superiority in physical strength, simply rape her? Or, realizing what she was up to - one blow to Kari's jaw and she would go out like a light. And he will use her body in an unconscious state... Or what? According to militant feminists, they say: "Even if a woman jumps on top of a man's penis and repeats in a whisper - no, no, no. Does this make it clear that she did not consent to sexual intercourse with this man and the man is obliged to stop?" By the way, in court and under oath - all the neighbors (if they didn't want to perjure themselves) - would have to admit that Kari flirted and got close to Lewis and that all this was very similar to seduction and interest in sex on Kari's part...
