My Wife The Hero Ch. 06

"They were so nice," Amanda says. "I hope they call. They'll be fun to get to know a little better."

"I think Martin would love to get to know you better, that's for sure," I chuckle.

"Do you blame him?" she asks in mock arrogance.

I look over her body like I always do and shake my head. "Not one bit."

"How about that Ginny, though?" Amanda says and sighs sharply at the memory of her dangerous curves.

I nod in agreement. "I wouldn't mind getting to know her a little better," I say.

"Could you imagine the craziness if we hooked up with them and included Dana as well?"

"I can tell you right now, Martin and I would be on cloud nine with the three of you perfect ladies," I say and she laughs and then kisses me. She slips in a little tongue and I swerve on the freeway slightly. "Not now, babe," I say, laughing. "I'd rather not kill us on the drive home."

She laughs and we continue to talk about our new friends and fantasize about them. When we pull up to the house that Sunday afternoon, the house is suspiciously quiet. Dana isn't home, but we expect her to come and go as she pleases. However, the kids' cars are both parked outside. I fight to keep my mind from remembering my nightmare this morning.

"Where is everybody?" I wonder out loud.

"Well, it's Sunday afternoon, the kids are probably sleeping still. Especially if they celebrated after the play last night," Amanda says as she taps out a text message on her phone; I assume to Dana.

A few seconds later it chimes back. "Dana's grocery shopping. She doesn't need to do that."

I shrug. "She's staying here for free, she probably feels like she should pitch in a little," I reason.

"True. I'll go wake Tina, you get Tim, maybe the five of us can go get lunch when Dana gets back," Amanda suggests and I agree, leading her up the stairs.

I knock on Tim's door and quietly enter while Amanda does the same at Tina's door. Tim's not in his bed, so I assume with track approaching, he's out for a short run. When I turn around I see Amanda standing completely still.

"Honey, what's wrong?" I ask as I walk up. Her mouth is hanging open and her eyes are wide in shock.

I turn and see what has her completely petrified: our children are fast asleep in Tina's bed, completely naked. Amanda's been right all along...
