Chapter 7
Lilly and I never did talk or work anything out that Sunday. Lilly spent most of the day shopping with a girl friend at the mall. I took the time to wash the car and then spent the rest of the day brushing up for a case that I was due to argue in court later this coming week.
Just before I left the house on Monday morning, I found Lilly’s cell phone on the living room end table. Out of curiosity, I picked it up and swiped the screen and her email screen popped open.
When I tapped on the last message, the was a short back and forth message between Lilly and an anonymous texter.
Anonymous: Will be free all Monday afternoon
Lilly: K-CU
That was all that was on her email. It seemed like she must have deleted a bunch of stuff. There were a lot of named contacts but no messages. Some of the names I recognized. Some of them I didn’t. Men’s names I had never heard her mention before.
Because I got up a little late Monday, I skipped making coffee before I left for work. So on the way, I stop at a coffee shop to get a large cup to go.
I ran into Katie as I was coming into the coffee shop. “Why did you ask about my mom on Saturday?” Katie asked me curiously.
Lilly said something about your mom being sick,” I answered. Now, Katie got a disturbed sort of look on her face. “I wonder why she would say that? I haven’t seen Lilly in several months,” Katie told me.
Suddenly, I felt a knot tighten deep in my gut. “I don’t know, Katie…Maybe she was thinking of someone else,” I suggested. But deep inside, I knew that Lilly had lied to me Saturday. She had been gone all day after lying to me about her whereabouts.
I was in a morning meeting first off after I arrived at work.
While I sat there sipping my coffee through a very long and boring accounting meeting concerning the recent success of our law firm, I found myself wondering about the text message I’d seen.
“Will be free all afternoon,” kept swirling through my brain.
After the meeting that lasted almost till noon, I found out that my case had been pushed back until next week. So I faked being sick and took the rest of the day off.
It was just a few minutes past 1pm when I got home to the house. I was surprised to see a car in my driveway. A car that looked exactly like my brother Donny’s car. “Why would Donny be here in the afternoon?” Flashed across my mind.
After parking my car next to the car in the driveway, I made my way to the front door and slipped the key into the lock. “Will be free all afternoon,” ran through my brain. Right after that I had the memory of Lilly calling out his name while we were having sex last Friday evening.
I was surprised to find that the front door was unlocked. I very quietly closed the door behind me and made my way into the living room.
“Hurry back, hunny…I’m ready for round two,” Lilly’s voice called out from the bedroom just as I came into the kitchen. My mouth fell wide open when I came face to face with my brother who was wearing only a pair of jeans that are completely open in front and nothing else.
Donny froze in his tracks as soon as he saw me. “I can, I can…explain,” Donny stammered as he sat down the bottle of beer he had in his hand on the counter.
“I don’t want to hear a fucking word that you have to say,” I grumbled. I want you to leave my house right this minute and never come back here,” I snarled. “If you ever lay a hand on my wife again, I will show you what twenty years of Karate practice can do,” I rasped.
Donny was barefoot and shirtless when he ran out of my house and jumped into his car. “COME ON, BABY…MY PUSSY IS ON FIRE FOR YOU,” Lilly hollered from the master bedroom.
My hands were balled up and I could feel my entire body shaking slightly as I made my way down the hall to the bedroom. “JACK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME?” Lilly screamed when I stepped into the room.
Lilly was sitting on the side of the bed. She was wearing Donny’s white linen shirt and she was naked underneath except for a pair if white thong panties.
“ALL READY FOR ROUND TWO, ARE YOU?” I yelled as I stepped into the room. I could see Lilly’s jeans and pull over sweater on the floor next to the bed.
“Now I know why you called out Donny’s name while I was fucking you,” I hollered. “Now, I know where you were when you lied to me on Saturday about going out of town with Katie,” I hissed.
“Please, Jack! It’s nothing. It’s just sex…I promise,” Lilly sniveled in a pleading tone. “No…It was just cheating,” I hollered. “It was just you spreading your legs for another man,” I shouted.
Lilly was leaning a bit to her right and the front of the shirt was billowed open exposing her breasts out the front. “You can barely make yourself have sex with me and yet you were ready for round two with my brother I rasped. “I wonder how Jill is going to take all of this,” I hissed.
“Oh please, Jack! I don’t want to hurt her that way,” Lilly suddenly sobbed as if she has a conscience. “Oh, you can bet she’s going to find out, you worthless slut.” I growled. “And then, we are gunna divorce both of you,” I shouted.
