〃What？〃
〃Is she still with him？〃
〃Simon； you're not making any sense。 What are you talking about？〃
Janice asked； not really understanding him。
Leaning over the table the way Janice was； Simon got to within inches
of her face and said； 〃My wife and some other guy are playing hide the
salami in our own fucking house！〃
〃I don't believe it！ You're just imagining things。 Why； from what I've
heard； your wife sounds like a real nice girl。〃
〃I saw it with my own eyes！ Melisa was sucking this guy's cock and
rubbing her pussy all over his face； right there in the middle of our
own fucking bed！〃
〃Listen； Simon； why would any girl in her right mind want to run
around on you？ Besides； name one guy in this neck of the woods who would
even dare think of doing something like that with your wife。 Hell； you
only moved back a couple of weeks ago。 Nobody's even met her yet！〃
Janice truly believed what she was telling her former boyfriend；
because that was how she felt。 Six years ago； they were the hottest item
in town。 Janice had dreams of marrying Simon one day and living happily
ever after； but then things changed。 When he received a full scholarship
to a university on the east coast； she was happy for him； but also sad
because her plans for getting him to ask for her hand in marriage were
put on hold。 The day Simon left for college； Janice thought her life
ended。 She would have waited until Hell froze over； if he asked her to；
but never Simon did。 Janice was completely shattered； and blamed herself
for letting him get away。 Even though she had married someone else since
then； she still loved； and often dreamed of Simon。 Janice doubted that
Melisa was cheating on him； but maybe； just maybe； this was the second
chance she'd been hoping and praying for。
Simon； for the first time since she picked him up； really looked at
Janice。 Her soft chestnut hair was longer than it use to be； and her
face was thinner； but Janice was still very attractive。 She still has
that look； Simon thought。 Janice's deep brown eyes were what attracted
him to her in the first place。 When they were alone in the past； which
was often； she would give him a look that was adoring； while at the same
time very sultry。 She was giving him that look now； and the old feelings
for her were starting to come back。 Simon reached out to hold Janice's
hand； but she jerked it back quickly。
〃Let me get you home。〃 she said as she gathered up her things。
〃I told you； I don't want to go home。〃
〃Well； I can't stay here all day； Sy。 I've got shopping to do and a
house to clean。 I really have to go。〃
Feeling sorry for himself again； Simon leaned back in his chair and
said； 〃I'll be fine； why don't you take off。〃
Driving away and leaving Simon at Don's tavern； Janice began thinking。
If his wife was really cheating on him； she could get Simon back。 She
had heard the rumors about her own husband's infidelities and figured
that all she had to do was wait around and catch him in the act； then
file for a divorce。 Janice suddenly pounded on the steering wheel when
she realized exactly what she was thinking about。 〃Damn it； Simon！〃； she
yelled； 〃Why did you have to come back？〃 and then she started crying。
Part II
〃Where's dinner？〃 her husband called out to Janice when he got home
from work。
〃If you don't mind； I thought we'd go out to eat。〃 she yelled from
upstairs in their bedroom。
Normally； her husband preferred a home cooked meal； and Janice
expected him to object to her suggestion； but he surprised her。
〃Let me give the Carsons a call。 We were suppose to meet them later
for drinks anyway； so they might as well join us。 How's The Landing
sound？〃
〃I thought we might go over to Don's place。 We haven't been there in a
while。〃 Janice replied quickly。
She was hoping to run into Simon again since he lived so close to the
small tavern。 This was the reason she was getting dressed up。
〃Okay； I'll tell them to meet us there for supper； then we'll all go
to the Landing for drinks when we're done。〃 Tom yelled back。
Janice wasn't the only one with a motive for wanting to go out。 After
hearing from Jack about how the hot redhead drained his balls this
morning； he wanted to see her again。 In a perverse sense； this was Tom's
way of getting even with Simon。 Several nights over the past six years
he heard Janice talk in her sleep and mention his name； but when he
asked her about it in the morning； she denied having any feelings for
him anymore。 Tom didn't believe this； and suspected his wife was still
in love with her former boyfriend。 He didn't plan last night's jaunt on
the patio with Simon's wife； but when it was over Tom looked at it as a
macho victory over the man his wife still cared for。
Janice finally came downstairs and announced she was ready to go。 The
way she was dressed removed any doubts Tom had on how Janice felt about
Simon。 Instead of the blouse； jeans； and sneakers that she usually wore；
Janice was decked out in a short pale…blue skirt； a tight fitting white
sweater； and heels。 Right then； Tom made up his mind he was going to
fuck Simon's wife again； even if he had to go over to their house like
Jack did。
〃Bob； will you tell him I need those shot glasses back。 I only got
about five clean ones left！〃 the owner of the small tavern pleaded。
〃Hear that； Simon？ Don's cutting you off。 Time to go。〃
〃I'm not getting in that fucking boat again！〃 Simon shouted without
even looking up。
〃What's your position on cars？〃
Back and forth they went； Bob trying to get Simon to leave； and Simon
trying to get Bob to stay and drink with him。 In the end； Simon won； but
only after Bob made him promise to eat something。 Bob had seen his best
friend like this before； and knew all to well how belligerent he could
get。 Don came over to the table then and asked； 〃Can I take these away
now？〃
〃Shit； it's about time！〃 Simon said。
Playfully； and not too hard； Don hit Simon over the head with a tray
he was carrying。
〃What are you doing here anyway？〃 Simon finally asked Bob。
〃Remember； you and Mel were suppose to come over for dinner ton
