After I send my mother-in-law Kate to the station of orgasmic heights, I tell her, "I want to marry you." Kate is so much nicer a woman than her daughter could ever be. That is what I want in my life, a good, kind woman. I did consider that maybe Kate could turn out the same in a few years, as did her daughter, but right from the beginning her mom was always nice to me and frankly speaking, I would have been much better off "snagging" Kate to begin with.
Kate starts moving in a bit at a time and I'm glad the house has three bedrooms with good closets. She does not have much more than her clothes which she takes great pride in as she is a woman who loves looking her best. I had considered changing the locks but had not gotten around to it yet.
We just get back from her place with a number of medium boxes. Only her furniture is left and we would take care of that next week. So we're back at my place and putting things in the closet, then we decide to get intimate. Of course, I locked the doors and we're pretty much into it when I heard what I should have expected.
Janice is here!
Kate thought she should put some clothes on but I say, "Don't bother, She won't be here long, let her walk in and see what's going on, that ought to fix her sorry ass." So Janice walks in and sees both of us stark naked.
"I don't friggin' believe this, you're doing my mother?"
"No Janice, not doing. Loving is the proper term here. I expected a nicer way for you to put it, but when I think about it, you have nothing nice about you."
"Mom, how could you do this to your daughter! I can't believe this. Doing my husband!"
"Not anymore, Janice. I have had it with you. Sneakin' around like an alley cat for close to two years, It is over."
"Oh, this is so wrong, you two going at it..."
"Look at the pot calling the kettle black! Hypocrisy, don't ya just love it?" I say.
"I come back to make things nice and I walk into this? Janice says, quite angrily.
"You think I'm going to believe that? You're back because he threw you out after his wife found out." I only said what I thought, maybe I knew it, but not knowing I knew it.
"How did you know that?" Janice is almost screaming.
"What happened to you, Janice?" I ask in my regular voice. "In the beginning I was happy., I thought you were too, then it is like the next eight-teen months my life's been like a verse out of Bob Dylan's 'Idiot Wind.' We had the sweetest time under the covers, then the screaming, I'd be out walking at two in the morning, the saddest craze in my mind and heart as to what just happened."
"So you had some rough nights, what of it?" She asked in a voice so cold and void of emotion.
"I am thinking, you rotten stinking bitch, I'm ashamed of myself for not knowing how rotten and evil you are. If the state fried your sorry ass, I'm sure the chair could not kill the likes of you and it would blow its fuses.
"Janice, how could you be so rotten?" Asked Kate.
I walk over and get the manilla envelope and say, "Look on the bright side, I have something for you."
She looks at the name on the envelope and says, "Edward Baskins, Attorney at Law. What is this, Ray? A divorce?"
"That's right, Janice, a year and three quarters too late but it's here, at last, thank God."
"So where am I supposed to go now? I'm broke."
"That is so not my problem anymore, Janice. After the two freaking lousy years with your BS. Do you actually think I give a damn? Go back to the guy you've been doing, have him take care of ya, I had it with you, as the divorce papers say."
"Janice, as your Mom, I have to ask, how could you treat a good man so lousy? You take off for days at a time, not saying where you're going. You put him on a tight rope. If he is nice to me, he is too nice, or if he is nice to your friends you get jealous. When are you going to pull your head out of your butt and grow up? I am so embarrassed to have you as a daughter."
Janice's face lights up a bit. "Ray, you did my Mom, I'll let that slide. We can see a marriage counselor."
