Bonnie’s attention was drawn to the far end of the pool where a girl, perhaps Misty’s age, it was hard to tell at that distance, as she climbed th... ladder and go to talk to what appeared to be her parents. She, like the two women at their end of the pool, wore just a thong bikini bottom, as did her mother. Bonnie instinctively looked over to her daughter, who was watching the mother and daughter speak. Seeing this, Cooper now was uncomfortable, and he quickly suggested they continue on to see. Neither he nor she was interested in personal histories, not at the moment, they were more involved in verbal exploring, how far could the evening go, what was the intent of the other? After she finished her fourth, stiff margarita she wondered if he had any motivation besides conversation. She again made ready to leave, she would test his patience. He stopped her with a hand on hers, “Would you take a room with me for a couple of hours?” It was the invitation she’d been waiting for, she didn’t. I looked at Kim and she said, “John can’t lose any more but you can. Spin and see.”I lost. I looked at John and stood up. He knelt in front of me, put his fingers on the elastic of my shorts and pulled them down. I was naked in front of my friends; in front of John. I knew they could see my wet pubic hair. John took my hand and we sat down together.Kim said, “The game isn’t over. We don’t have a winner. Spin again. Bob lost; the second couple had lost and the game was over. Sharon stripped his. It occurred to me that I had not seen her look at me like that for some time. It's amazing how much information can be gleaned from a casual observation. My heart sank as I realized that they had been or were currently lovers. My friends and family also had noted how much attention she had been paying to this stranger. I was both angry and humiliated by the experience. There was no doubt in my mind that my "happy marriage" was in trouble. My world collapsed. The love that I thought was.
