I came home at my normal time on Friday and was surprised Susan my wife wasn’t home yet. I got off at five o’clock and was always home by five-thirty. Susan got off at four and was usually home before me.
I assumed that she was going out with her coworkers after work. She often did that on Fridays, but would let me know beforehand, so I wouldn’t worry.
I started dinner and set the table, before beginning to prepare dinner for the two of us.
Dinner was ready about six-thirty when I heard her car pull into the driveway. I waited in the kitchen as I heard her walking up to the door, giggling and laughing loudly.
At first, I thought that she must be chatting on her phone, but then I heard, “Stop that, we’ll have time when we get in the house.” Followed by more giggling.
“Stop that now. You’re being naughty. Wait till we get to my room.”
I suddenly got a bad feeling.
The door opened and in walked my wife with another man. She looked right at me with a big smile and said, “Honey, how are you? This is Mike.”
She put her arms around Mike like they were long-lost lovers. “I see you have dinner ready for us. Hey, we’ll be ready to eat in about a half hour. That ok with you? You can keep it warm till then.” Then she then took Mike’s arm and dragged him to our bedroom. OUR, BEDROOM….
Distraught, I fell to my knees in shock. I couldn’t believe what was happening. I had just watched my wife of two years take another man into our room, right in front of me. I wanted to say something, anything.
I wanted to scream, to yell “What the fuck do you think you’re doing you stupid bitch?” But my shock had momentarily deprived me of the ability to speak. I could only stare uncomprehendingly at the door to our bedroom with my heart pounding and my throat constricting.
