To my surprise, I wasn't angry, just confused. As my mind cleared and I was able to analyze the situation somewhat objectively, I reached a few insigh...ts. Pam had sex with a man she doesn't find attractive, just to help me fulfill a fantasy. I got my first taste of a fresh, warm creampie. And we had better sex than we've had in a while. So what was wrong with this picture?"You said David's not so bad when he gets his clothes off. Tell me all about it." Well, he's a better lover than I expected,. There's a lake about two miles north of here. Take all our stuff out of the car and run it up there. Then ditch it in the lake and make sure that nobody sees you, okay? I'll stay here and watch Dad and Honey-pie."Archie nodded and went outside to the car. In a few minutes he returned with a huge duffle bag and two more guns. He dropped the duffle bag on the floor with a heavy thud and I assumed that was the money they had stolen. Then he laid the guns on the table."Okay," he said, "I'll be back. I heard you enter the house and close the door as I dropped the bikini top in the hallway. I walked into the bathroom that was right in front of me and leaned over the side, turning the water 3/4 of the way to the hottest point it could get. I smiled as I listened to you step into the bathroom with me, I turned around and walked over towards you, placing my fingers through the loops on your pants, and pulling you against me. You let out a soft sigh as you moved your lips down onto mine softly.. And how the blast from the real cannon, even firing blanks, had caused an end-to-end crack in the fabric of the proud new hall.Even in my hour of crisis, the irony of this thought made me smile. Was the hall and that crack the true and final picture of my marriage? A hall and a marriage undermined by something that had seemed so exciting and novel at the time. As the tune and the cannon played out in part of my mind, the rest of my mind was occupied by memories from two summers ago.Until that.
