On the bed, with a red bow around her waist, was Karen, wearing a black negligee that Crystal had given her a few months earlier. She didn’t look a...t all motherly, she looked exciting and hot.“M-Mom?” Crystal sputtered out.Karen grinned. “I have a confession, baby. I read your Diary.”Karen read aloud I don’t know how to tell Mom what’s going on in my life lately. Working in the store, around Amy and all the sexy customers, I’ve come to realize that I’m a lesbian. Girls really do it for me. Knowing that Mary was gonna need a ride before then, I called my insurance agent. He said I was covered for a rental car.Greg and I called around after we got home and the nearest rental facility was near Oak Brook. I called them and they said they didn’t have any minivans, but that they could rent us a full-size Chevy and would have it ready within an hour.Greg wanted to stop by his job site to take a look around. Since I might be working on it, I told him that would be cool.When we got there,. An empty bottle of Chardonnay was turned upside down in the ice bucket."Holy, shit!" It all of a sudden hit me; it was a "star" (ovulation) night. Lauren had gone out of her way to make a romantic meal as a prelude to our inter- course. I guess it was all of the stresses taking their toll, but instead of being contrite and begging forgiveness, I wanted Lauren to feel sorry for my lousy day and me.Well, Lauren would have none of it. She blew up. I blew up. It was the worst fight of our marriage.. . . in the bed with me instead of on the floor? It'll be easier to talk without my mom hearing us."Ellie climbed into the bed and Leah turned out the light. There was light coming in from the window, so they could see each other fairly well after their eyes adjusted. They lay on their sides facing each other and whispered quietly."Do you ever wish someone would kiss and lick your boobs or touch them?" Ellie asked."Yeah sometimes . . . I think about that. Do you?" Leah whispered back.Ellie.
