I glanced at the time—quarter to seven. I ran upstairs and grabbed a quick shower. I was almost dressed when my phone rang. It was her. I put it dow... on the dresser while I combed my hair. After the sixth ring the answering machine kicked in.“Hi, honey. I hope you’re out with some friends having a good time. We just finished up so I’m on my way home but there’s still a lot of rush hour traffic so I’m guessing I’ll see you shortly after eight. Bye, bye, honey. I love you.”Yeah, right, I thought.. Of course she had to be careful. Especially with the men. You heard such stories! She kept a handbag full of condoms. All different shapes and sizes and flavours. Ribbed and nobbled and smooth. And sometimes, especially when there were three or more men, you just couldn't risk taking them back or letting them take you back. Then the back of the car, or a dark alley-way, or whatever. It just had to do. Not so good for the actual sex, but more than compensated by the extra notches it scored.. He was not my type so I rejected them then he began misbehaving. All of a sudden there was a heavy hand on his shoulder.We both turned and saw a huge muscle bound hunk standing in a tight t shirt and jeans. “The lady said no so behave asshole” he said in a deep voice.“Sorry Daniel” my paramour whimpered and left soon. I realised Daniel was the bouncer. He was an extremely heavy built man in his early thirties , he had muscles on his muscles and it gave me shivers just to look at him.“Thank you. No sense in waiting for the wedding to formally shack you two up together in your own little cozy love nest there,” Dad announced, knowing that his word was the final say, even though he always consulted and considered the views of his wives and children.“Thank you guys! Love you, Mom, Dad, Aunt Haley, Aunt Michelle, give our love to everyone back home until we make back! I still don’t feel that this road trip was a waste. We have a lot of great memories from such a short run there,” Hector.
