"Don't be so rude."Don't be so rude. Toni is our guest", she scolded. Dave came back with, "Who said anything about having her leave. Maybe she would like to watch." He began to giggle. The drinks were definitly getting to all of us. Normally, Dave would never have suggested such a thing; even in jest. And I would normally have been totally embarassed. Partly due to the alcohol, and because I guess I wanted to show him that I wasn't a prude, I said, "Sure. I'll watch." He stopped laughing and they just looked at each other in surprise. Then they simultaneously looked at me. I said, "Just let me get another drink first." I got up and saw them look at each other again. They watched me get back into the easy chair. I said, "Go ahead. I'll be real quiet. Pretend that I'm not here", as I took a large sip of my vodka and tonic. I started to run my fingers around the glass and didn't look at them. It was all just a game to me. A big bluff. I certainly had never really done anything like that before. I just figured that they would just start to laugh and the whole issue would be over. I waited, but there would be no laughter. The pause seemed to silently indicate an attitude of "Oh hell. Why not." I looked up and again saw Dave's hand cupping Linda's breast and her hand moving up and down his thigh. They were both looking into each other's eyes. |
