There was a really pretty dark haired woman sitting at the other end of the bar trying to catch my eye. Finally, Sam the bartender put another beer in front of me, and I declined it. "It's not on the house Ted, it's from the lady at the end of the bar," he said. "Thank her for me, and give her money back to her. You can put it on my tab, and pour it out or do whatever you do with it," I said. A few minutes later the brunette wandered over and sat down on the stool next to me. Her face was pretty and her eyes were clear. "You probably shouldn't sit there," I said, then took another sip of my beer. "Not accepting the beer I bought for you wasn't very nice," she said. "Is there some reason, you don't like me?" "I like you just fine, but I don't know you. I have trust issues when it comes to women. Right now my life is uncomplicated, and I like it that way. If you stay in this bar for any length of time, another guy will come along and you can buy him a beer. He'll probably be nicer, younger, richer, better looking and have a bigger dick." "What if I just like you?" she asked. "Not going to happen, so why bother?" I asked her. "You don't know anything about me, so how do you know we couldn't at least be friends?" she asked in return. "Let's see," I said as I turned to look at her. "You're between 25 and thirty years old. You're educated. You have a good job. You have a nice body, and you want to show it off, but you're afraid to because you have a few slight imperfections that you obsess over. You're either, married and trying to cheat on your husband, or recently divorced. You're conservative, but you like to think that you're a little bit wild. And...," I paused and tilted my head a little bit to the left before I continued. "You're actually a lot wilder than you think. You just need someone to bring that wild girl to the surface. The ex or current husband was or is a lot older than you are and I remind you of either him, or someone else. How many did I get right?" "Nearly all," she said. "My husband, died a little over a year ago. I finally stopped wearing the ring a week ago. Towards the end there was no love left between us, but when he got sick I had to stay and care for him up until the end anyway, out of respect if nothing else. Then when he was gone, even though as you alluded, I did feel like he was holding me back, I just couldn't bring myself to look for someone else so soon after he passed. But when I saw you, you reminded me so much of my first boyfriend, the one I left behind to marry the ex. Right now I've gone back to work and I'm doing a job that I thought I'd like but at this moment, I'm just not too sure about." "What about you?" she asked. "You seem kind of young to have decided to be alone for the rest of your life. And don't you have needs? I thought all men had you know...urges." "And when I look at you, I don't see the tough hard boiled jerk you're trying to act like," she said. I see a genuine romantic. I think that you've been hurt, so you're trying to build a wall around yourself. But it's not to keep people away from you, like you think. I think it's to keep you from being hurt again. So what made you like this?" I held up my beer so the bar tender could see it. "Play it again Sam. And maybe you'd better bring the lady one too." Sam brought us fresh drinks and I started my story. "Maybe you're right about the romantic thing, but that's not something I want to have get around. I don't really see myself as a romantic. I see myself more as a sucker, because I really got taken in. Up until about a year ago, I was happily married to the girl of my dreams, but that dream turned into a nightmare on national TV, so pretty much everybody knows how stupid I was." I met Ellie about 6 years ago at a party, and it was just love at first sight. I know that some people don't believe in it, but when I saw her, I became a believer. One minute I didn't know her from Adam, the next minute, nothing in my life mattered except her. To me she was the most beautiful girl in the world, but in reality I guess she was probably about a 6. She has flaming Red hair, and pretty green eyes. Her eyes are kind of cat-like and they're so expressive that I could always tell what mood she was in and damned near what she was thinking by their expression. She has a mouth that just begs to be kissed and she tasted like strawberries. She has more than a few freckles, and she only weighs about 96 pounds soaking wet. She has the most beautiful and shapely legs in all creation and a nice little bubble butt. She doesn't have much upstairs, and no tits either. But God Damn I loved that woman. Within a year of meeting her, we had gotten married. I was an Engineer for a large manufacturing company. We made automotive suspension components and steering knuckles for several major auto manufacturers. Ellie was a part time waitress, and once we got married she became a stay at home housewife. Our plan was to live together for a while and enjoy life before we started having kids. That was because her sister and brother had gotten married because he'd knocked her up and their life was a living hell. They constantly argued over everything, and we just wanted to be smarter. Ellie's sister and brother, and a couple of cousins scattered here and there were all of the family she had. They lived in a trailer park about 5 miles away from us. Actually she had lived with them until we got married. I think they were glad that we got married because not only could they come over and use our pool whenever they wanted, but it gave them more room in the trailer with Ellie moving out. Ellie and her sister Sallie were inseparable, and whenever I couldn't find her all I had to do was call Sallie, or stop by the trailer and there she'd be. Most evenings when I got home from work, Ellie, Sallie and Sallie's Husband Billy would be in my living room. Ellie and Sallie were connoisseurs of that great American art form, Daytime Trash TV. They lived and died by Jerry Springer, Judge Judy, the People's Court and of course the Maury Show. I had never developed a taste for that form of entertainment, being burdened as I was with a job and all, but I was glad that Ellie had something that she enjoyed, that kept her from being lonely when we were apart. Usually she had dinner on the table when I came home, and after dinner we just settled in and did things together. We both loved seeing new things and discovering things by exploring the countryside. Ellie just loved seeing the scenery, and I loved driving anywhere for any reason in my Arctic White, 2008 Mustang GTCS vert. For those of you who don't know that's a California Special GT convertible. Actually that car and Ellie were neck and neck in the war for my affection so having them both on the road together was a dream-come true for me. The car had a Cherry Bomb exhaust system, which though it messed up the California emissions standards, sounded great. It also had cross drilled and slotted rotors, the brake Calipers were painted arctic white to match the body, and all of the glass and lights were blacked out. I love that car to this day, but anyway back to Ellie. Ellie was hell on wheels in bed. She was always wet and ready to go. If we were at a party with all of our friends, she'd excuse us to go and check out the bushes and we'd go at it. In our bed, she wore me out. There was nothing off limits with her. Her legs and butt, as I've already said were amazing, and even though she didn't have any breasts to speak of, her nipples were so sensitive that it seemed like she had orgasms just from me blowing on them. And speaking of blowing, that woman can still suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch. It was unusual for us not to have sex at least once a day even after being married for 5 years. If it hadn't been for Sallie though, none of this would ever have happened. I have nothing against Sallie. She's an attractive woman in her own right, and she has the truest heart of any woman I know. She looks like Ellie except that she's a few years older, a little taller and a little thicker. Sallie is also a blonde, and has very respectable tits. Unfortunately her skin has that weathered look to it, and she sags in certain areas, which is probably due to her lifelong vigil monitoring the airwaves and her 5 kids. Sallie had made a run at me a couple of times, and until this whole thing blew up I really thought that she was doing it as a test. You know, to see if given the opportunity, I'd cheat on her sister. Of course I turned her down both times and life was well. That is up until about a year ago, when Sallie and Billy started arguing a lot more than normal. These weren't their normal, yell at each other for a while then kiss and make up arguments either. These arguments had begun to last longer and longer and spill over on the people around them. Finally Sallie decided to take the argument to the highest and most respected agency she could think of. I thought they were going to a marriage counselor, but of course I was wrong. Sallie had contacted the Maury show and was booked to be on an episode about Cheaters. Sallie had arranged for Billy to be given a lie detector test on national TV to find out if he was cheating on her. She also suspected that he'd cheated with multiple women and had gotten one of the girls in the trailer park pregnant. Of course Billy maintained that he was absolutely innocent and Sallie was just upset because at 30 years old she was getting kind of long in the tooth and wanted to hold onto him. The girl she suspected Billy of cheating with, was going on the trip also. She lived in the same trailer park and was only 19 years old. It seemed like a circus to me, and I was laughing under my breath at the whole situation. I was pretty sure that Billy was guilty, but kept it to myself. I was also glad that Ellie and I weren't having anywhere near those kinds of difficulties. I wished them well and promised to DVR the show so we could all watch it sometime in the future. That night, somewhere between one of Ellie's incredible blow jobs and me sinking into that tight little pussy, Ellie lowered the boom on me. She wanted to go to Connecticut for the taping of the show as well. She not only wanted to go, she felt that she needed to go. Just in case Billy was cheating or proven to be engaged in something bad, Sallie would need someone there for support. Of course this was also the chance of a lifetime for Ellie to see how her favorite show was produced and taped. It was a dream vacation for her. But since she wasn't a part of the case, or the episode, the TV Company, wouldn't pay for her flight or her hotel room, but I assured her that it wouldn't be a hardship for us to send her. Besides when she was sucking my dick I really couldn't refuse her anything. That was also when I discovered that she expected me to take a few days of vacation time and go as well. There was no way she was leaving me home alone while she flew off to another state. She told me she trusted me of course, but she didn't need to have me tempted to go to strip clubs and visit loose women while she was away. She was sure that having too much free time was what got Billy in trouble. I suggested that maybe Billy needed a job, but she just laughed. Besides that she reminded me that in the five years that we'd been married, we hadn't ever gone without sex unless one of us was sick or injured and she wasn't about to start now. So a few days later we all flew to Stamford Connecticut for the taping of the show. We were met at the airport by a production assistant from the show's staff. Ellie and I went straight to our hotel, while the show participants went to a production meeting to outline what they needed to do for the next day's taping. As soon as we got to our hotel room, Ellie bounced up and down on the bed while pretending not to look at me. I could feel her eyes boring into my back as I unpacked our suitcases. "Isn't this the kind of thing that the woman is supposed to do?" I asked. "I'll show you what the woman is supposed to do," she smirked, unzipping my pants and pulling them down around my ankles. My boxers, the ones with the different Mustang badges on them followed them to the floor. My dick rose and lengthened in response to Ellie's touch and she took it deep into her mouth and started bobbing her head back and forth on it. That was what we were doing when the bellman walked into the room. Ellie never stopped what she was doing; she just fished my wallet out of my pants with one hand, and handed it to me. I got a five out and held it out to him. He crossed the room, accepted the bill, and backed out of the room. He never once took his eyes off of Ellie. "Enjoy," he said, closing the door softly behind him. The pressure in my balls was beginning to build up. I couldn't help it I grabbed Ellie by the sides of her head and started ramming my dick into her mouth and throat. She was making little gagging sounds in time with each forward thrust. When I couldn't hold it back any more I pulled out and shot my gentleman's juice all over her face and neck. She smiled at me as she wiped a few errant drops from her eyes. Then I watched her flash those cat eyes at me and lie back on the bed and spread her legs. "My turn," she smiled. I raised her skirt and pulled her tiny bikini panties away from her, revealing a small landing strip of fiery red hair. I gently blew gusts of air through the flame colored kinks and slowly licked the area beneath her fur. She was already soaking wet and she started to shiver as my tongue hit her. "God Damn it. All you guys ever do is lick at each other's private parts," said Sallie loudly as she stepped into the room without knocking. "If you had waited a few more minutes Sis, you would have caught him with his big old dick rammed way up in my little pussy," smirked Ellie. "What are you doing here anyway? Shouldn't you be at the studio?" "They need Billy, more than me. He has to take his lie detector test. They only needed to ask me a few questions and tape one little segment about what I think he's doing. They actually needed more from that floozy than they did me," she said. She looked at Ellie lying back on the bed quizzically. "Ellie what is that all over your face?" "Your brother's sperm, it kind of came out all over me," laughed Ellie. "Good God girl, aren't you going to wipe it off or something?" asked Sallie. Then she changed the subject. "Do you think that Billy really is cheating on me?" she asked. Ellie didn't answer she just squeezed my hand tighter. I think she and I knew the answer to that question. From Ellie's unspoken reaction I was sure that she thought that Billy probably was cheating on her sister. "Sweetie, I can't answer to whether or not your man is cheating on you, but we're sisters. We'll be there for each other through thick or thin. If he is cheating on you and you decide to throw his cheating ass to the curb, I'm on your side with whatever you need. If you and the kids need to stay with me and Ted for a while, we've got plenty of room." Then she curled up beside me and snuggled herself into my side like a cat, face still full of my drying spunk. "Ellie, you're really lucky to have someone who loves you like Ted does. I couldn't imagine him ever cheating on you. Can I tell you a secret?" she said quietly. "I already know," said Ellie. "You tested him a time or two. You tried showing him your big ole titties, to see if he'd cheat on me, if he had the chance. He told me both times. I also know that you never would have gone through with it, if he had fallen for it. You love Billy way too much to ever cheat on him. So if he did cheat are you going to take him back?" "Probably, eventually, but he's going to have to make some changes in our life. He's going to have to agree never to cheat on me again, and if he does we're history. And he's going to need to at least try and find a God damned job. We've been living in that fucking trailer for too long, and we have too many kids to squeeze into it. It's just not fair to the kids to put them through living like that. But we've been together for so long that I don't think I'd know how to live without him. Nobody is perfect, a man is going to make a few mistakes from time to time, so I don't see throwing away our whole marriage over this but he has to change." Ellie squeezed my hand again gently and started lightly purring. I pulled the sheet over her and walked over to the bathroom and got a warm soapy washcloth and gently washed her face off. I kissed her lightly on her forehead as Sallie watched. "You really do love her, don't you?" she asked. I nodded my head and smiled. "You guys are not like Billy and me. Sometimes I think we're only together because we've been together for so long that we don't know how to do anything else. But you really fucking love my skinny, flat-chested baby sister. I had no idea." The she got up and went back to her room. "I'm glad she's finally gone," whispered Ellie as she pulled the comforter over herself. "And for the record, I really fucking love you, too. Til death do us part." The next morning we all had breakfast together before the taping. I noticed 2 things right away. One was that Sallie had gotten her hair done and had a makeover. She looked fantastic; or at least fantastic for Sallie. Billy on the other hand looked as if he hadn't slept at all that last night. He looked at Sallie as if he was truly afraid of losing her. Marilyn, the supposed other woman, he'd slept with didn't hang around with us, but being only 19 we didn't really think she'd want to. We all went in the stretch limo they sent, Billy, Sallie and Marilyn went one way, and Ellie and I went the other when we got to the studio. The production facility seemed to be a large warehouse like building with the set from the TV show at its heart. There were viewing rooms, conference rooms, dressing rooms and places used for other purposes all around it. Surrounding the set of course were cameras and all kinds of guys running around with headsets on adjusting God knows what. There was a recording booth in the back where technicians controlled the camera angles and the audio recording levels as well. Producers and Directors and go-fers and security people weaved in and out of the madness constantly. When you watch the show it seems like each segment takes only a few minutes. Having seen the show on a few occasions when I was home sick or on vacation. I really thought that we could come down here to the taping and be back at the hotel for some serious fucking in an hour or two. We were there for three hours before they even started filming our segment. Sallie was the middle one of three segments on the show they filmed that day. The first was a teen mother who claimed that her next door neighbor's husband had gotten her pregnant. He was a Protestant Minister, and claimed that being a man of God he'd never commit the sin of adultery. He and his wife spit all kinds of vitriol at the teen mother. They claimed that she was a woman of ill repute, and her word meant nothing against the word of an upstanding Christian Minister and his pious wife. The preacher failed the lie detector test, and the DNA proved that he was the father of the baby. The preacher's wife attacked both him and the girl on the stage and had to be restrained. The Best part of the segment was the way that Maury, who really is taller than you think, announced it. The Minister, whose wife was already angry at him for failing the lie detector test, looked nervous. It was almost as if he was silently asking God to alter the DNA test results. He was trying to hold his wife's hand and she wasn't having any of it. The Maury Show He knew that if the baby was proven to be his, both his marriage and his career were over. His wife was very agitated and looked back and forth between her husband and the girl with her eyes narrowed. The girl on the other hand sat back in her chair relaxed, as if she didn't have a care in the world. It was as if she knew she'd done wrong but was at peace, since the truth was getting out. And also because she'd have proof of paternity and would have legal standing to collect child support for her child, and that would make her life a little bit less hellish. In the glare of the hot studio lights, the entire room went silent, as Maury said, "In the case of 10 month old Amber Marie..." Then he paused for effect and stretched out the moment before continuing. "Reverend Pritchert...! you are the father!" Immediately the former man of God, jumped straight up and ran out of the room to the back stage area, while his wife followed him screaming about divorcing his cheating ass. On stage the mother of his love child leaped up and started doing her onstage victory dance that was so suggestive that it would make a stripper blush. The audience loved it and I even found myself getting into it. Ellie elbowed me in the ribs and said, "There was no need for me to be gawking at that little whore when I already had someone who could do a better dance for me alone." Then Sallie came out and sat down in one of the chairs on the set. She was having a conversation with Maury. She told him how she and Billy had been together for 7 years and had 5 kids. She talked about how they lived in a trailer and how he had never had a job, but she loved him anyway. Naturally, the audience cheered her, for standing by her man, no matter what their situation. Then she started talking about how lately their sex life had fallen off, and she'd heard rumors that Randy had been cheating on her, and had possibly even got one of the other women in trailer park pregnant. The audience, "booed," and started frowning, even though no one actually prompted them. Then they showed Billy on the monitor in his taped, interview. Billy said, "He'd always been faithful to Sallie, and he was upset that she'd even think he'd ever cheat on her. Sallie and their kids were his life, and if she made him take a lie detector test, it would mean that she didn't trust him and he'd seriously consider ending their marriage." The audience "booed," him, but Sallie looked a little unsure. I knew that she loved Billy, and wanted him back no matter what. She wanted his behavior checked, and she wanted to let him know that she was no fool, but the thought of really divorcing him had never been on the menu. Next to me Ellie started talking about how that cheating bastard deserved anything he got if he'd gotten that slut pregnant. She squeezed my hand, and went backstage to comfort Sallie while the techs moved a chair out for Marilyn. Then Marilyn came out on the stage. The audience "booed" her as much as they had Billy's tape. She sat down and immediately started talking about how Billy was screwing not only her, but several of the women in the trailer park. She wasn't in love with Billy, but she also wanted him to get a job and start making child support payments to help with the care of his latest child. She actually said she was sorry to Sallie for what she'd done, but that Billy had told her that Sallie and he were on the way to a divorce anyway. She claimed to be 2000 percent sure that Billy was the father of her baby. I was confused because outside of trailer parks, you can only have 100 percent. 100 percent is all there is. Marilyn's statement of course made Sallie cry, and Maury had to comfort her. To my surprise Ellie went running up onto the stage and hugged her sister and tried to make her feel better. "That cheating bastard is no good," said Ellie. I knew that we'd have to DVR this episode when it came on, because this was Ellie's dream come true. She was actually on the Maury show. We'd probably have to watch it every day for the rest of our lives. Then they finally brought Billy out. I felt sorry for him as he walked down the ramp onto the set. It took a lot of courage to walk that gauntlet of people who so obviously hated him, without ever having known him or spoken to him. There were no kind faces in that audience for Billy at all. Even Marilyn, who was equally guilty, received far more support or at least less venom, than poor Billy did. Maury started asking Billy questions, and Billy denied everything. He denied cheating on Sallie at any time. He denied having ever had sex, period. He denied not having a job. He claimed that he was just unemployed. (yeah that one confused me too, but he was lost in the moment) I was expecting him to deny that his name was Billy. He claimed he didn't know Marilyn personally but that he had heard about her from some of his friends, and she was a whore. He said she was like a free internet service, because when it came to her pussy, she gave everyone access. She jumped up and ran across the stage hissing and swinging at him. Sallie jumped up to save Billy for some reason. I guess just because she was pissed at him, didn't mean she'd let some other woman beat on her man. Ellie of course jumped in to help her sister and the security people had to separate all of them. With temper's flaring and the show looking more like Jerry Springer than Maury, it was time for Maury to read the results of the DNA test. "In the case of 3 month old Stephen," began Maury. "Billy, you are...Not, the father." Marilyn jumped up into the air crying and screaming that the test was wrong, and ran off stage. This time it was Billy, who breathed a sigh of relief, and started dancing on the stage. "We still have the results of the lie detector test to read," said Maury. The audience still hungry for dirt or blood got quiet again. "We asked Billy if he had ever had sex with Marilyn," said Maury. "Billy said he had not. Our lie detector test revealed that was a lie, and he had more than 10 times." Billy started claiming the test was wrong. Sallie jumped up and slapped him across the face so hard that it rang out across the studio. Ellie pulled her back down into her seat. "We asked Billy, if he has ever had sex with any woman outside of his marriage, other than Marilyn," said Maury. "He said no. Our lie detector test revealed that was a lie there have been more than 5 other women, and more than 50 times." Sallie was crying so hard now that Ellie had to hold her up. Billy had put his head down in his lap and was begging Maury to stop reading the results. The audience was screaming for more, and Maury who despite his seeming concern for Sallie, simply continued reading question after question. Each new revelation seemed to beat both Billy and Sallie further down, but Maury continued to read the rest of the results. I felt sorry for Billy and for Sallie, but couldn't help wanting to laugh, because the whole situation was just unreal. Sallie suddenly jumped up and started screaming at Billy. The fury in her eyes caused Maury to jump out of her way. "You fucking bastard," she screamed. I knew they'd edit that out so the home audience wouldn't actually hear it, but would know exactly what she said. "Who were they? I want to know who the whores that were worth more to you than your own kids were, because I'm done with you," screamed Sallie viciously. "Yeah, you sick bastard," screamed Ellie. "You shouldn't talk Ellie," said Billy. And my world started to close in on me, because I knew what he was going to say before he said it. And like the rain following the first crack of thunder on a sunny day, the words came out. Billy looked at my wife and said, "Since, we both know that you were one of them whores." The audience was suddenly quiet, and you could have heard a pin drop. Cameras all rotated towards Ellie and then back to Sallie for her reaction. Ellie screamed "No," in slow motion and looked at me across the room, but I could tell from the look in her eyes that it was true. "If you don't believe me ask your lie detector man," said Billy. "He asked me if I had slept with any of your family members." Sallie turned on Ellie and started hitting her. Ellie was too busy looking for me to even try to defend herself. But it was too late. Un-noticed, I had slowly walked out of the studio. I left the building and got a taxi to take me back to my hotel. Back in the studio, Maury's production team quickly cancelled the next segment, so they could devote more time to the Sallie, Ellie and Billy triangle. I heard later, that Ellie repeatedly asked about me and where I was, and had been told that I was backstage cooling off. I really believe that they lied to her to keep her there and keep her from doing something stupid. They did call me repeatedly on my cell phone and at the hotel. I simply didn't answer. What they wanted was for me to come back to the studio and air out the wreckage of my marriage on TV. I checked out of the hotel within an hour and headed for the airport. Though I wasn't scheduled to fly home for 2 days, to allow for editing of the segment and possible reshoots, I was able to change my flight and leave within 90 minutes. Back at the studio, Maury's team of producers and counselors had convinced Ellie, Sallie and Billy to all go back out on stage. The audience was rapt, their attention riveted on the stage. Sallie told both Ellie and Billy that she never wanted to see either one of them again. Billy begged her forgiveness, and swore that he'd never touch another woman again in his life. He needed help because like Tiger Woods, he was a sex addict. The counselor on Maury's staff, volunteered to find him a therapy group for sex addicts in our area. And they convinced Ellie that for the good of their children, who needed a father in their life that she should give him one more chance. It took a few days, but they also got Sallie to forgive Ellie who was miserable. Of course I didn't find this out for about a week, and to be honest, I didn't care. As soon as I got home, I called a lawyer and started divorce proceedings. It wasn't easy, and I cried a lot but I did it. Fortunately we live in a no-fault state so it wasn't necessary to prove anything. If necessary I had a tape of the show though, which would serve as great evidence of both her infidelity, and my subsequent humiliation on National TV. Since I wanted the divorce to be quick, I agreed to a 50/50 split of all of our assets, right down the middle. The only deviation was that she got the house, and gave up any right to my future earnings or retirement package. It should be a slam dunk. I had my lawyer get an officer of the court to serve her the divorce papers at the airport. Out of the same type of bizarre morbid curiosity that makes people gawk at car crashes, motorcycle daredevils, and NASCAR, I made sure I was watching from a distance when she was served the papers. My lawyer was standing next to me and both of us were shocked as my previously subdued, sub 100 lb soon to be ex wife ripped the papers to shreds, and started to try and kick the document server's ass. She just became unglued and they had to call security. My lawyer and I slipped out of the airport, and went back to his office for a meeting. "That bitch is crazy," he told me. "Perhaps I'd better get you a personal protection order or a restraining order." "Don't worry about it," I said. "I've moved into a hotel temporarily, and I'm looking for a new house or a condo in a different suburb." "Yeah, but you still work at the same place. And you drive that nearly neon white Mustang. You won't be hard to find," he said shaking his head. So I took a couple of weeks of vacation time, but there was no way I'd give up my car. I used the time to find a new house. It wasn't quite as nice as the old one, but I had too many memories of Ellie in that house to ever go back there. When I went back to work, Ellie was there in the parking lot waiting for me. "Ted, I'm sorry. Please forgive me," she said. "You have to come home. I don't think I can live without you." I walked right by her. "Ted, at least talk to me. I swear it'll never happen again. I love you. I always have. I don't give a half a dam about Billy," she cried. "He isn't worth shit to me." Suddenly I couldn't take it. I turned and snapped at her. "Don't say that because you know it isn't true. Billy must be worth a fuck of a lot to you because he was worth more than me, all the love I had for you, our marriage, our life together, the kids we could have had and our future. So maybe you should go back and fuck him a few more times to get full value for what you gave up. Don't come back here again Ellie. I don't ever want to see you again. If you have anything you need to say to me say it through my lawyer." "Ted, Sallie forgave Billy. Do you remember when you and she were talking in our hotel room and you thought I was asleep? She told you then that she and Billy don't love each other nearly as much as we love each other. If she can forgive him, and he cheated on her a lot more times and with a lot more people than I did on you. Why can't you forgive me, this one time? I swear to you it will never happen again. I'll get down on my knees and beg you right now if I need to. You can't just throw away 5 years of happiness, just like that." "Okay Ellie," I said. "Get down on your knees." She bent down in front of me, and people started watching us. "Please take me back, Ted. Don't divorce me. I love you." she said. "No," I said and went into the building. I stayed and worked a little later than normal that evening. I was still wary as I left the building. As I approached my Mustang I noticed an old pick-up truck parked right beside it. I looked around for Ellie and saw Sallie sitting in the truck. "Ted, I know she hurt you bad," she began. "No one knows how badly that hurts any more than I do. Billy has done this to me more than once. And I swear that he knows this time will be the last time I take him back. My kids will be better off without a father, than with one who cheats, and has other kids with other women in our own neighborhood. Especially, one who can't seem to find a job anywhere, or doing anything. But be that as it may, as hurt as I was, I still took him back because in his own way, I know he loves me. It may not be as intense and fairytale-like as what you and my sister have, but love in any way shape or form is so rare, that it has value. He may not be the best man in town or even in my trailer park, but he's mine. When I think about all of the people who are out there alone, who'd die to have someone in their life, it makes forgiving him one more time a little easier. People are not perfect Ted. We're all subject to lapses in judgment, and mistakes and just plain, ass brained fuck ups. But when you truly love someone, you have to overlook those human failings every once in a while." "Less than a month ago, I was sure that you'd be willing to sell your soul for my baby sister, I have trouble believing that you could turn all of that off this quickly. What about all of the time you two have invested in this marriage? Was all of that wasted? What about for better or for worse, till death do us part? I don't want to take up all of your time here, but there are 3 more things I'd like you to think about. First off, that girl loves you like there's no tomorrow, and right now she is hurting bad. She knows she messed up and it's going to take some time for the two of you to get back to where you were, but she wants that more than anything else in the world. Because whether you know it or not you are her world. Second, it's not like she was really having an affair, this is Billy we're talking about. He'll screw anything that's not nailed down. She isn't trying to replace you or fall in love with anyone else. She doesn't love Billy, it was just sex. Just something to do while you were away from her, it didn't mean anything to either one of them. Hell, I had to forgive both of them. You only have to forgive Ellie. And the last thing I have to say is no matter what you decide to do please just talk to her. She knows she hurt you and it's killing her. That girl thinks the sun rises and sets around you, and she hurt you. It might not even mean anything to you, but at least give her the chance to apologize. And to tell you the truth Ted, I think it would do you a world of good yourself, because you don't look like you're all that happy either." Then she hugged me and got back in her truck and drove away. That night I thought about everything that had happened in my life since I met Ellie. I thought about how much I loved her, and how happy we'd been all the way until I found out about what she'd been doing. I really had been happy. I realized that I still didn't know the how or the why of what she'd done. If I had no intention of going back to her, those things didn't matter. But f there was even a tiny chance that we could save our marriage, those things became important. The next morning I called Sallie. Billy answered the phone and as soon as I heard his voice, I hung up. Less than 2 minutes later, my phone rang. "Honey, were you calling to talk to me?" asked Ellie excitedly. "Well I w..." I began. "Yes!" she snapped cutting me off. "Yes what?" I asked. "Whatever it takes to get us back together, I'll do," she said. "I know I messed up badly, and I swear I'll never do it again. But I'll do or say anything I have to, if it'll get you to give me another chance." "What I was about to say was that I wanted to speak to Sallie," I said. "Oh," she answered. Her mood had clearly deflated when she found out I wasn't calling to talk to her. "Ted, did I ever just come out and tell you that I'm really sorry? Or that I miss you so much I can't stand it. Did you know that I feel empty, like there's just a hole inside of me," she said quietly. "I'm sure Billy can find something to fill it with," I said coldly. "Look I really didn't call to talk to you. Why aren't you at your house anyway? Can I just speak to Sallie?" "Sallie isn't here she had to go to the school to talk to one of the kids' teachers. And when you say my house, if you mean our house, it just isn't a home without you in it. I can't stand being there and feeling like you should be there with me. Why do you need to talk to my sister anyway?" "Maybe I don't need to anymore. Ellie, I actually wanted to talk to her about what she said last night. It suddenly dawned on me that I didn't know why you fucked Billy, and or if there'd been anyone else. I also wanted to ask her how she'd managed to forgive that worthless asshole time after time, because I kind of wanted to think about talking to you again, But if you were truly upset about what you did, you wouldn't be there alone in that house, with that asshole right now would you? There's no hope for us Ellie, I see that now just sign the papers and let's move on." There was a big clunk followed by the sounds of Ellie screaming and crying and I just hung up. Sallie called me about an hour later. Her voice was very tense, and I could tell she was angry. "Ted, why'd you call her, just to torture her," she asked. "I know she hurt you. But I thought you were the mature one here. She's worse now than she was before you spoke to her. I had to give her something to put her to sleep." "Sallie, I didn't call her. I called to speak to you. Billy answered the phone, so I hung up. Ellie called me back a couple of minutes later and I told her I only wanted to speak to you. I wasn't ready to speak to her yet, but until she started talking I was starting to think that maybe there was a chance," I spoke slowly and with an even tone in my voice, hoping to calm Sallie down. "Sallie what time do you have to pick the kids up from school?" I asked. The Maury Show "Three thirty," she said. "Why?" "I want to talk to you about all of this. So put on a nice dress and let's go to lunch. You're still my sister for now, right?" I asked. "I don't have a nice dress," she said sadly. "Okay we'll just meet at the mall then," I said. "North entrance, 40 minutes, and do your make-up like you did for the Maury Show." When Sallie showed up at the mall she looked great. Her lips had just a hint of a darker shade than their own natural pink. Her eyes were outlined but it was subtle. Even the base she used was so light that you could see the freckles that she had in common with her sister show through. Her long dishwater blonde hair had been pulled back away from her face and looked really elegant. It almost made me wish that I'd fallen for her instead of Ellie. Her clothes just didn't fit the makeup and hair though. "Why'd you want me to put on my whore-paint, just for us to grab lunch at the mall?" she asked. "We're not having lunch at the mall," I said. "We're just meeting here." I grabbed her arm and steered her into a ladies dress shop. I had her try on 3 or four dresses. The third one, a floral print in gray with a black pattern was the one I'd planned on. The dress sculpted her figure and disguised the changes that having 5 kids had done to it. The front was cut just low enough to show her big breasts, but not low enough to show how low they hung. I did suggest to the saleswoman that we needed a new bra, and stockings and shoes. Sallie went back into the dressing room, and when she came out, the change was radical. The new bra made sure that her breasts were not only shown, but presented. Her waist was also nipped in and the higher heel not only enhanced her legs but the change in the way she had to walk in them even made her butt look better. "Ted, I thought the point was for us to talk about my sister, not for us to play dress up," said Sallie. "We'll take it all," I said handing the woman my card. "And she'll wear it out." "We are going to talk about your sister and me," I told Sallie. "But I want us to have a nice lunch at a nice restaurant, and relax. There are some things that I just have to ask you." The place I'd chosen was right around the corner from the mall. It was a great steak place. It was also Ellie's favorite restaurant. I got us a table and ordered for us. Sallie looked around, and people looked back at her. I don't think she had any idea of how beautiful she was. She deserved this, I was just happy that I could provide her with one afternoon away from everything she had to go through on a daily basis. "Sallie, you've spoken to both of them over the past three weeks. I know it can't have been easy for you. How did you find the strength to not only forgive both of them, but to put it behind you and move on?" I asked her. "I love your sister. I have since the first day I met her. Sometimes I feel like my heart beats only for her. But at the same time, I'm furious with her. I cannot bring myself to talk to her. Every time I talk to her, I get so angry that I just want to explode. One minute I'm thinking about how nice it would be to wrap my arms around her again, the next I'm thinking about wrapping my fingers around her throat. I know you love Billy, but I'll never be able to be in the same room with him again without killing him. Even if somehow, and it's a really big "if," Ellie and I manage to save our marriage, things are going to have to be different. There won't be any more Christmases or holidays together, no more backyard barbecues, or you guys coming over to swim and hangout. You and the kids are of course always welcome, but Billy can never set foot in my home again, and I won't come to yours unless you kick him out. That's a given, but I just can't seem to find the strength that you have, as much as I love her. Something inside me just isn't willing to forgive this. I was hoping that maybe you'd heard from them how it started and when and how many people she's been screwing around on me with. And I guess, why? would be a good thing to know also. And then like I said, I really want to know how the hell you're able to put aside what that asshole does to you and just keep going?" Sallie took another bite of her steak, and looked down into her plate. She pretended not to notice the tears on my face, and I pretended not to notice hers. "Ted, I'm not nearly as strong as you think I am. It hurts me badly every fucking time he does this," she said. "When we went to the show, I already knew I was going to take him back. I was prepared to be angry if he'd gotten that little girl pregnant, but I was still going to take him back. I was prepared for him to be screwing around on me with a few different women, but I swear to you, I had no idea that Ellie was one of them. That hurt me badly. I was even more, angry at Billy, and I was really pissed at Ellie. But as far as Billy goes, I still wanted him back." She put her knife and fork down and leaned towards me. "Ted, my Mom died when Ellie and I were 7 and 9 years old. Our dad had been cheating on her for more years than I could remember. At 9 it just seemed a common question for me to ask my mom before she died. I'd ask her momma, where's daddy? And she'd just get sad and tell me that he was with his other woman, and his other kids. When she died, Ellie and I just kind of raised ourselves. We learned a lot of things the hard way, about what we should and shouldn't do, but we learned. I guess that I'm kind of like my momma. I may not like how Billy is, but I keep hoping that he'll change or grow out of it as he gets older. He's not a bad man or a violent one. He's never hit me, or the kids, even in anger. But he just can't keep a leash on his Johnson. I guess there are times when I look at my kids, and wish they had a daddy who could go to work and bring some money home. Or wish that we had a nice house and things. But when I look at those kids, I can see his smile in every one of them. He's a part of each and every one of my kids so I just don't see how I could ever throw him out. I promised to love him for better or for worse, so I have to take the bad with the good." "As far as Ellie goes, there are still a couple of times a day when I just want to reach out and slap the shit out of her. I ask myself how she could do this to me. I'd never have done it to her. Even when I fooled around with you; trying to see if you'd take me up on it if I offered you some pussy. I knew that you'd never do it, you love Ellie too much. And Ted, whether you know it or not, that's why this is so hard on you. It's because you love her so much. If you didn't love her, we wouldn't be talking about this. You would have just pushed the divorce through and tried to do it without leaving her a God Damned dime. Right now all of this is still raw and fresh, and you're still in a lot of pain. The anger you feel is over-riding the love. It'll take a while for things to balance themselves out, and that's when we'll know how this is going to settle. If the anger comes out on top, you're probably not going to take her back, and that might kill my sister or send her over the deep end. But if the love wins out it's going to be even harder because you're going to take her back, and your pride has been wounded so it's going to be a struggle and a difficult one. But I really believe that those people I saw in that hotel room 3 weeks ago won't let what they had, die." I reached across the table and took Sallie's hand and kissed it. We left the restaurant and I couldn't help sneaking a peek at Sallie's long legs as they stretched out in the front seat of my Mustang. I dropped her off near her truck so she'd be in time to go and pick up her kids. I hated what I was doing to Sallie, but I had to know. I later found out that she'd caused quite a stir at her kids' school and especially when she went back to the trailer park. As soon as she walked in Ellie had jumped up and asked her where she'd been. Billy hadn't been able to take his eyes off of her, and was getting angry too. "You can both relax," said Sallie. "I went out to lunch with my brother." "Where'd you git them clothes?" asked Billy. "Ted bought me an outfit so we could go to a nice restaurant," said Sally. "It was great. I had the best time in my life." "Ted should have taken you to a cheaper place and brought enough food for everyone," snapped Billy. "Some friend he is." "Why would he want to be your friend?" snapped Sallie. "Ted has been nothing but good to us since the day he started dating my sister. He's always giving us money for this and that, and taking us places. I love you Billy, but how did you repay him? "You repaid his generosity by fucking up the one thing that he valued more than anything else in the world; his marriage. I guess you think that because our marriage doesn't mean much to you, that Ellie didn't matter to him. News flash my husband, he's hurting really badly right now. He's trying to be tough and to hold it together, but he is not the same and he may never be. Things are not going to ever be the same around here even if he takes my sister back. So if I were you, I wouldn't plan on showing up at the house to swim, or showing up on Sundays to watch football on that big assed Flat-screen TV. He's totally done with you." "Good Lord woman, you act like I did something crazy,"said Billy. "All I did was fucked Ellie. Everybody fucks Ellie. Even Ted fucks Ellie. So why shouldn't I? Besides, there's nothing special about her to get all upset about. She ain't even got any titties. A man is supposed to sample different flavors from time to time. I know that I've sampled a bit much, and I told you I intend to cut down, but he's taking this too far." "Billy," said Sallie. "Ted doesn't sample, he really loves Ellie and he doesn't want to share her with anyone else. He really does, or maybe he did, see her as something special, and that was what I wanted for my baby sister. I wanted her to have what neither me or my mom had. A man who puts her first. And this isn't all on you, I'm really pissed at Ellie too because as much as I love you, three of you wouldn't be half the man that Ted is. And my sister may have just fucked up her life because she couldn't keep her legs closed." "What are you talking about Sallie?" shrieked Ellie. "Ellie, I know that you love Ted, but Honey he isn't like us. I know you think that he's going to stomp around and drag you through the mud for a couple of weeks, but it's been almost a month. It's time for you to realize that you might not get him back. He really, and I mean really, loved you and He knew you weren't a virgin when you got together, but he expected you to be faithful to him once you got married. Was the sex bad with him?" asked Sallie. "It was wonderful," said Ellie. "I miss him so much I can't stand it. You have to help me Sallie. He won't even talk to me." "If the sex was so good then why the hell were you fucking Billy?" asked Sallie. "Cuz she's a whore," snapped Billy. "She just wanted to rob me of the opportunity to watch football on that big assed TV. And she's a dumb whore at that. Remember how she learned her ABC's? Remember ABCDEFGHI stood for "Any-Body-Can-Dick-Ellie's-Furry-Girl-Holes-Instantly." JKLMNOP means "Just-Kissing-Lightly-Makes-Nasty-Outcomes-Possible." She's not even a pushover, because you don't even have to push her over. I bet he doesn't know about that does he? And I bet he doesn't even know she does gangbangs either." Billy was on the verge of laughter I could hear it in his voice. Ellie was silent except for a few sobs. But Billy was merciless and kept taunting her. "QRSTUVW," he quipped. "Quick-Rubbing-Starts-That-Un-natural-Vaginal-Wetness. When it comes to sex and Ellie, XYZ means "Xtremely Young Zealot." It was clear that Billy got off on the bully role. "All a guy has to do is just walk up to her and start rubbing her a little bit. The next thing you know they'll be fucking. It can be any guy. Any age, any race, fat or skinny, short or tall. And if Ted is so fucking smart with his "job" and all of that shit, then how come he don't know he married a whore. Maybe someone should tell him. If she loves him so much, then why didn't she stop? I think I'm going to have to tell him, just so he knows what's really been going on, for all of these years. It's just not Christian to let the man be that far in the dark. Ellie does he know that you fucked the preacher at your wedding, or his boss?" "If you tell him any of that shit, I'll kill you in your sleep Billy," snapped Sallie. "I won't let you fuck up my baby sister's life any more than you already have. And you Ellie, get the fuck out of this trailer. Drive the car, your man bought for you, to that nice house he bought for you, and wait for him to take you back. I'll keep trying to talk to him for you but that's all I can do." "I'll bet she's fucking him Ellie," snapped Billy. "I'll bet that's why he bought her all of these fucking clothes. I'll bet they've been fucking, ever since you met him. Now that he knows about us, he's decided to trade your skinny ass in on a real woman. Maybe that's why when he calls he won't talk to you, his own fucking wife, or me, his brother and friend. He only wants to talk to Sallie." "So Sallie," smirked Billy. "Does he only want you, or does he want my kids too? Are those kids even mine? It's pretty God Damned funny that you took me all the way to the Maury show and aired our dirty laundry on national TV, just so we could come home and find out that you're just as big a cheater as I am. And just as big a slut as your sister. And I thought I was marrying the good one. Maybe I'll call old Ted and see how much I could get out of him if I did agree to trade you in on the pin cushion here. She doesn't have any titties, but her pussy's a lot tighter." I could hear Sallie walk quickly across the room. The sound of her new heels on the trailer's floor were un-mistakable. Then I heard the sound of flesh being struck. "My pussy would still be tight too if some dumb ass, would stop pumping his babies into me," screamed Sallie. "Let's have this talk again after Ellie has 5 kids, we'll see who's tighter then. Billy, I love you but you're a moron. I have never cheated on you with anyone, not even Ted. And Ted loved Ellie so much he's practically crying over her as much as she has been over him. Do you know what he wanted to take me out to lunch to find out? I'll tell you. Ellie, you already know that your husband has a lot of pride, he can't just take you back even though he wants to. He needs to have a reason to, or to understand why you did what you did. When you married him, you both promised a lot of things, and you broke one of the most serious promises you made. He just doesn't look at sex the way you and Billy do. To him it's not just something to do when you're bored. He sees it as a bond between two people who love each other. And for either one of them to do it with someone else breaks that bond. The funny thing here is it just goes to show you how wrong you can be about people. I love you more than anyone else in the world Ellie, including shit-for-brains here, and I know you've always thought that you got the short end of the stick because you don't have any tits. So you started fucking every guy that looked at you to prove something. But I've always been jealous of you, because I thought that maybe I did get the tits, but you got the brains. You've just heard what your brother thinks of you, and what he thinks of me, and Ted." "The man you pretty much threw your marriage away on, thinks of you as just some whore that anybody can fuck whenever they want to. And me, his own wife; to him I'm just some dried up old cunt, with a worn out pussy, that takes care of his kids. He's ready to trade me in for you, if Ted will give him some money or a TV. And then there's Ted. Ellie he's hurting bad over you, but right now, I swear to you he's standing on one leg on a slippery fence. It wouldn't take much for him to fall either way. You need to find him, never stop calling him, and beg that man to take you back. You know that Ted would do anything for you. Get him to move you as far away from here and us, as you can." "Ellie," Sallie said slowly. "I want you to understand something else here. You know me, even after what you did, and have been doing with Billy. You do know that I'd never sleep with your man. I'm not that kind of woman. And down deep inside ask yourself a question. How much does Ted love you? Do you really think he'd try to sleep with anyone other than you? It's just not fucking likely to happen. So nothing happened with me and Ted today. In fact we mostly talked about what it would take to get him to take you back. But if today, was any indication of how your life is, I have to admit that I want it. Do you know how great today was? We went to the mall, he sat there and watched while I tried on clothes until we got the dress that he wanted to see me in, then he bought the dress and shoes and stockings and underwear with it. and it wasn't the fact that he bought me some clothes that made it special. It was the fact that he was interested in seeing me at my best, and seeing me happy. And when people looked at me, I smiled because I knew that they thought, that I had a man who treated me like I was special. You probably take things like that for granted, but most women wouldn't. You just don't know how lucky you've been. You don't know how lucky you are that he's still in love with you. And you risked all of that, to get used by Billy and a bunch of dumb assed trailer park trash guys who probably can't even remember your name." "Please tell me you aren't that stupid. Don't become one of those desperate old women in this trailer park, who tries to fuck every swinging dick that walks by. Don't end up with a bunch of kids who don't even know who their daddies are. Don't end up alone and lonely dreaming of something you once had, and just pissed away. Honey you don't know what you've got, til it's gone. and you're on the verge of losing what might be your only chance for a great life. The only thing I have to be proud of is that all of my kids, do have the same daddy. And as fucked up as Billy is, I know that in his own way Billy loves me, and as bad as he is he isn't going to leave me. If you lose Ted, what will your life be like?" "I'm done preaching Honey, but I'll tell you one thing. If you and Ted break up for good. I'd go after him myself." Then I heard the sound of Billy laughing loudly. "She can't quit," he said. "She's just another trailer park skank. I fuck her every morning as soon as you leave to take the kids to school. While you were gone today she fucked me, Tom and that uppity Mailman at the same time. She ain't ever gonna stop. The funny thing is, I really believe that she does love ole Ted, but she just has an itch that takes more than one guy to scratch it. So she might be faithful to Ted when he's around. But when he ain't, it's a different story. And Ted is one of those guys that just has to have a job and a lot of shit. So he's always gonna work until he can't work anymore. If this little bitch wasn't on the strongest Birth control pills they make, there's no telling how many babies she'd have by now. Mine, Ted's and God knows who else's. So if you love her as much as you claim. Your best bet is to just get on the team and help her hide it. That way Ted can keep working for all of us." Then I heard Billy laughing again and the door of the trailer open and close. "Ellie, tell me what that asshole said isn't true," said Sallie. "You didn't fuck him again this morning did you?" Ellie remained quiet and then just started crying again. "I didn't think anybody would find out," she said. "I just needed it, Ted hasn't touched me or been near me since the show. I couldn't help it. Please don't tell him." The Maury Show I sat there and sank deeper into the thick, soft leather of my Mustang's seat. Tears started flowing freely down my cheeks. I turned off the small receiver box, and unplugged it from my Mustang's auxiliary input. By now you've probably figured out that the whole lunch date with Sallie had been a set up. There were tiny bugs sewn into the lining of the dress and even the shoes that I bought for Sallie today. I was hoping that she'd do what I'd planned for her to do. Go home and talk to Ellie about what we'd done today. I was hoping that Ellie would give me some kind of clue about how she felt about me and what she'd done. I was hoping that I'd maybe make her a little bit jealous, by buying some clothes for her sister. The dress, the bugs, and lunch, were far cheaper than hiring a private investigator. But my great plan blew up in my face, and hurt me far more than even the Maury show did. I looked at the woman on the other bar stool, to see her reaction. she was staring at me with her mouth open. I laid a five on the bar and started to get up. the bowling alley should be open by now. "Wait, you can't just leave. What did you do next? What do you do now? You have to tell me how this ended," she pleaded. I sighed and sat back down. "Well, uhm...." "Lisa," she quickly supplied. "Well Lisa, every story doesn't have an ending. This ain't a dime store novel, or a free internet sex story. Sometimes, you just have to keep moving until the hurt goes away but I'll tell you what I did. I drove straight to the trailer park. I was only a mile away from there any way because those little bugs won't transmit much further than that. I pulled the door to the trailer open and as soon as Billy got up, I reached out like I wanted to shake his hand. As he extended his hand I sucker punched him in the jaw as hard as I could. He went down hard. While he was down, I kicked him in the nuts as hard as I could and then did it again for good measure. Sallie and Ellie were too shocked to do anything. I turned and pulled the receiver out of my pocket. I walked over to the trailer's sink and plugged the receiver into the cheap boom box they used as a stereo. The sound of their own voices made them sit up and listen. The only distraction was the moaning coming from Billy who was still writhing on the floor, with a growing blood spot over his crotch. "Sallie, you're too good for this shithole and these people. I know you won't but I'm offering you the chance right now, you and your kids come with me. We won't ever look back," I said. Sallie silently shook her head. Ellie started screaming as I turned to leave. "What about us? Ted I love you. I'll go away with you. I'll change. Please don't leave me. Don't divorce me. We can work this out. We have to. I won't let any other women, including my sister, near you. I'll scratch their eyes out with my bare hands." "Ellie," I said sadly. "The worst part of this is that I still love you even after everything I heard on that tape. But I also hate you for the way you treated me. Sallie said it best. You don't know what you've got til it's gone. But she was just saying it to the wrong person. You knew what you had. You had a man who loved you, and was faithful to you, and did everything he could to make you happy. I say had, because I'm gone. I won't ever be back. Sallie was talking to me. I didn't know what I had until it was gone. Because I thought I had a wife who loved me, and only me. I thought I had a love that would have lasted my whole life. But that wasn't what I had, was it? And I didn't know that until now, when any iota of that love is gone, burned away in an instant by what I heard on that tape. I won't tell you what I had. What you are, because I'm too fucking nice to even say it. But you are gone, permanently. I mean it. Even if I'm just angry and hurt right now and later on discover that I still love you, it won't matter, because I'll never be able to trust you. And without trust we couldn't have a marriage. But don't worry, about a divorce. On the way over here I called my lawyer and told him to cancel the divorce." I heard them both breathe a sigh of relief. Since they had heard that I'd decided not to divorce her. Then I smiled as coldly as I could and started talking again. "You don't deserve a divorce. I'm going to do this trailer park style and just drive away and start over somewhere else. Sooner or later I'll meet another woman and I'll fall in love again. But I won't marry her. Because of you I've lost my faith in women period. Plus this way it's better. In a divorce you would have had rights, there would have been a settlement, alimony, a division of property. With me just walking away, you don't get shit. You don't even get the house since it's in my name. All you get is the view of me walking away from your silly ass. Like this." And I just left the trailer, got into my Mustang and drove away. Sallie immediately started trying to call me. She told me that she thought that Ellie was a sex addict like Billy, and maybe they could get her into treatment as well. I told her not to bother because I just wasn't interested in a wife who had to be taught how to not fuck around on me. Or one who had to be taught how to keep her legs closed. Over the next few days Ellie camped out at my job and even found my house. It got to the point that I told my attorney to go ahead and get the restraining order. Ellie ignored it. At one embarrassing point she was holding onto my leg as the cops tried to pry her away from me. I realized that the only way to truly separate myself from her was to leave the state. So I quit my job and started the process of starting a new life. There were a couple of things I needed to do before I left town. I know that I should have been above such petty things but I couldn't resist. The next morning I along with my attorney, visited the local post office. I played the tape for the postmaster there and he paled, when we mentioned an alienation of affection suit and a possible suit of the post office branch. Now we knew that we couldn't sue the post office, because it's a branch of the federal government, but apparently small town postmasters don't because he called the postal carrier whose name was Ed in and immediately fired him. He also offered me an upper 5 digits figure to keep the whole thing out of court. He said he realized it wasn't much, but it would help me feather my nest so I agreed to it. On my way out of the post office I found Ed crying near his locker. I tapped him gently on the shoulder then kicked him in the nuts. While he was writhing on the floor I lifted his wallet and stopped off at his apartment to play the tape for his shrewish little wife. She asked for a copy so I'm pretty sure a divorce was in Ed's future. That just left me Tom, for my petty revenge. Tom prided himself on having the finest trailer in the park. He was also one of the few in the park who owned his trailer, and his actually had wheels. When I pulled into the park, without my lawyer, Tom was sitting in front of the trailer that Marilyn and her parent's lived in. I drove past and went up the hill to Tom's trailer. Once there, I pulled the trailer castor out of my trunk and attached it to Tom's trailer hitch. A trailer castor is a divice that allows trailers to be quickly moved and repositioned. most trailers roll just fine but the trailer hitch and the post and tiny wheels mounted to it make moving them awkward if they arent being towed. I quickly attatched the castor, and went around Tom's trailer moving anything like bricks, chocks and pieces of wood that might prevent the trailer from moving easily. The rest was easy just a good push to start it rolling down the hill, and gravity really helped a lot. Tom's trailer was headed for the lake. Once that thing started moving it was going to be hard to stop especially since Tom would have to climb the hill and then run down the other side to prevent his home from ending up in the lake. When the trailer started rolling down the hill it took a minute or two for anyone to notice and when they did they thought it was the funniest thing ever. I got the feeling that not too many of them liked Tom. After the trailer splashed into the lake, they all gathered around to watch it sink. Tom came sputtering up, out of breath from his run. He was cussing and fit to be tied. "Relax Tom," someone said. "Your insurance will take care of it." Tom didn't have any insurance. Someone else had started a grill and they were all roasting hot dogs and watching Tom's trailer sink. I guess some people will do anything for entertainment. I called Tom away from the scene and he came with me. He probably didn't know that I knew about him fucking Ellie. I'm sure you think I was going to kick him in the nuts too, but I didn't. "This is for Ellie," I said, and I punched Tom in the stomach so hard that he doubled over. Then I gave him an uppercut that started from Mississipi and came all the way up through Chicago. The boxers out there will know what I mean. That uppercut laid Tom out. then I kicked him in the nuts. With my emotions vented, there was nothing left in that city for me. So I set my sights on greener pastures. Before I left town, I liquidated all of my assets, including quick sales of both houses and everything else we'd accrued during the marriage. Anything I couldn't sell, I burned. I know for all of you legal experts out there, that what I did was illegal as hell, but I didn't care, I still don't. I didn't leave Ellie a fucking dime. I even burned all of her clothes. I did leave Sallie a few thousand dollars for emergencies with her or her kids, and an anonymous email address that she could reach me at from time to time, but I left town and truly haven't looked back. I don't stay in any one place long enough for her to track me down. From the sale of the houses and my assets, I have a reasonable nest egg. Whenever I move into a town or a city, I find work as an Engineer, pretty easily. If I don't, I move on. I moved my retirement account into a self directed IRA so I can still pay into it. Someday I will settle down and find someone. But probably not until my heart stops hurting from Ellie. I hear from Sallie every once in a while, and she starts me to aching all over again when she mentions Ellie. Billy is totally faithful to Sallie now. He doesn't have a choice. He suffers from erectile dysfunction courtesy of my well placed kicks. He still doesn't have a job. Ellie, Sallie claims still loves me and still wants me back. She went on Maury again claiming to be pregnant and needing to track down the father of her child. She wasn't actually pregnant, she just wanted the show to use their resources to try and track me down. She doesn't want money or anything like that she supposedly just wants me back. I fly far under the radar because those TV shows have a lot of resources, including PI's, and I don't want them to find me, and give her any information on my whereabouts. Sometimes, I'll stay with a woman for a few nights or more, but I still haven't found anyone who could take Ellie's place in my heart. I'll probably love that scrawny, flat-chested, trailer park whore until the day I die, but I can't live with her, or be around her. So for now it's just me and my Mustang seeing the USA one town at a time. Even now a year later, every time I see some scrawny redhead, a tear rolls down my cheek, and I know that I'm still not over her. I'm sure she's probably screwed her way through the trailer park and half of the city by now. I know this isn't the ending you wanted or expected. In fact it's not much of an ending at all. If you need a better one you've got my permission to write it. Lisa tilted her head back and finished her beer. She was a good looking woman, with long dark hair and crystal clear blue eyes. "You're definitely not what I expected," she said. "But you'll do." She reached into her purse pulled out a cell phone, a gun, and a badge/license. As she punched in a number on the phone I looked at the badge. She wasn't a cop, she was a licensed Private detective. "Yeah, this is Lisa," she said into the phone. "It was another dead end. He's not in this town either. There was a guy here who drives a Mustang but it's the wrong color the wrong year, and the guy is too old to be him. I'll tell you something else Marty. I'm tired of this. I don't want to spend the rest of my life tracking down other people's spouses. I think it's time I found my own, so I quit. Tell the redhead, and the people from the show, that I don't think this guy is ever going to turn up. She's wasting Maury's money and her life looking for him." Lisa walked away from the bar, leaving her gun, her badge and her phone where they were. "So let's see this Mustang," she said. I nodded and smiled at her as we headed for the door. Six weeks later, I realized that I was in trouble. I hadn't thought about Ellie once since Lisa and I drove away from the bar. I told Lisa about it one morning as she got out of the shower and came towards me naked with her large breasts swaying from side to side. She just smiled and said, "Maybe the reason you don't have an ending to the Ellie story is because you missed it. The ending of Ted and Ellie happened when you walked away from the Maury Show, your marriage was over, the rest was just the epilog. You haven't been looking for the end of Ted and Ellie for a long time. What you were looking for, was the beginning of the Ted and Lisa story. This one is the story of you and me, and our family someday, and this one will last for the rest of our lives."
