Between Sisters (17 page)

“
Please, Kelly, just hear me out,” Elaine pled with tears in her eyes. “This has been killing me, and I couldn’t even talk to Harmony about it. Trust me, it’s not how you think.”

“
You’re right, because I can’t think of how two people can have sex without knowing it,” I harshly answered, forgetting my fear.

The tears were pouring from Elaine’s eyes.

Elaine doesn’t cry. Wow, this is some serious shit. Alright, let me try to be objective.

“
I’m sorry,” I said. “Tell me what or how this happened.”

When Elaine composed herself, she began to tell me of the trio and the blindfold adventure. She said she had absolutely no idea Robert was the man Renee was creeping with. She also told me that she never confronted either of them for fear of what the ramifications to the family would be.

While my heart goes out to my sisters who are victimized by this bullshit, my blood is boiling. I’m going to beat Renee’s ass, and we are going to fix Robert if it’s the last thing I do.

“
Why would that bitch call herself your friend and do this to you?” I demanded. Before she could answer, I said, “I’m going to fuck her up, Elaine. You know I can’t stand that bitch. Renee will not get away with this shit, and Robert is going to pay dearly.”

“
Shawnee has been trying to reach me, and I’ve been avoiding her. I don’t even know what to say to her,” Elaine said.

“
Tell the truth! She has a right to know. That freaky bastard is walking around like he’s God Almighty, issuing out forgiveness, while he knows what he has done and been doing. Oh, he’s going to pay!” I was pacing back and forth in anger. “I know Harmony doesn’t want to hear shit, but I think she needs the whole story, as well. See, right now, you’re looking like a cutthroat bitch, when actually it’s not you at all.”

“
Gee thanks!” Elaine chuckled through tears. “Well, there’s one detail I left out that I’d like to hold back as best as possible, but I think it’s important to Shawnee.”

“
Oh Lord! I don’t know if I can handle more,” I said dramatically, while sitting back down on the sofa. “Go on!”

“
Robert paid thirty-five hundred dollars for that ménage trio. When Renee asked me for the ménage trios and offered the money, I was game. Still, I didn’t know it was Robert. When I actually saw it was him, I was pissed off by the fact that he’s using Shawnee’s money to pay for his indiscretions. I wonder how often he does this,” Elaine explained.

“
Damn, at least I know how I can find a couple extra dollars when I’m running low on cash,” I joked under the circumstances. “Wow, I didn’t know guys are so hard up for sex that they’d pay like that.” I paused and had a thought. “Hold up. I know Shawnee has some freaky ways about her, so why would Robert want to go elsewhere? And to her sister, no less?”

“
Maybe that was his own sick, freaky fantasy,” Elaine answered. “I remember his nasty ass saying to me that he wanted me for a long time. That was the giveaway that made me know something was wrong. I still wasn’t certain until I saw him entering the bathroom. I wanted to die right at that moment. Especially when he said he wished we could do it again sometime.”

“
You should have gotten up and beat his ass right then. My back is still fucked up from last week,” I said, rubbing my back, “but I know you could have hurt his nerdy ass. I can’t believe you didn’t pick up on that nerdy voice of his.”

“
I started to, but then dismissed that notion when I thought about it being someone Renee was involved with. Never in a million years would I have thought Renee was capable of such. Hell, I didn’t think she had it in her for a ménage trio,” Elaine answered.

“
Ewww! I just had a horrible vision. Please tell me you didn’t do it to Renee. Ugh! Please no!” I pled with Elaine.

“
Imagine how I feel. Please don’t remind me,” she said, defeated.

“
Oh, Elaine! I don’t know what’s worse: fucking Robert or doing it to Renee’s ugly ass. Hell, at least Robert is nice looking. Nerdy, but nice looking. But, Renee? That bitch has boils and craters on her face. I can only imagine what below looks like,” I said, dramatizing. “Oh, I think I’m going to be sick.”

“
Well, I’ve heard your stomach grumbling since you got here. You’re probably sick from hunger,” Elaine laughed. “I guess you were afraid that I was going to poison you or something?”

I laughed uncontrollably. She had hit that nail right on the head.

“
Fuck you!” Elaine laughed again.

Elaine

Kelly and I decided to call Shawnee over and tell her everything. I couldn’t let on that the “play for pay” was a way of living for me, so I acted like it was a one-time favor to Renee.

God knows it was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders to finally tell of the fiasco. I have done some low shit in my life, but I would have never intentionally had sex with my sister’s husband. I guess it is low as hell that I actually enjoyed it very much. That detail I’ll keep to myself, though. I also kept the anal sex part to myself when I heard Shawnee bitching about him not doing her, leaving her half done when they do fuck.

After Kelly and I did all we could to console Shawnee, we plotted the destruction of both Renee and Robert. Since neither was aware of the knowledge we had, we were one up on them. Ironically, Renee hasn’t made one attempt to contact me since that night. She probably realized Robert used her ugly ass to have an opportunity to fuck me, and she damn sure wouldn’t want me to know that. She’s also probably wondering if I learned Robert’s identity after she left. She has to be wondering why I made no attempt to call her just the same.

So the plot begins:

I called Renee at work. I knew she’d answer.

“
Renee, we have a problem. I need to see you and your boyfriend,” I said.

“
Well, Elaine, this really isn’t a good time to get into this. I’m at work,” she responded uncomfortably.

“
Then, obviously, it must be very urgent if I’m calling you at work. You know I wouldn’t bother you at work.”

“
What is this all about? What’s so urgent?” she asked with irritation in her voice.

“
I need to see both of you. We could do the blindfold in the dark if you don’t want me to see him, but we all have to talk. ASAP!” I urged. “Tell me when we can meet.”

“
Well, I can’t do that, Elaine!” Renee answered, agitated. “I haven’t heard from the asshole since that night.” Her voice was indignant. “But, I’m sure that’s just how you wanted it.”

“
What?!” I gasped, but wasn’t really surprised. “Renee, what are you talking about? I wasn’t trying to interfere with your relationship. You’re the one who asked me for the ménage trios. I didn’t feel comfortable with the whole arrangement.”

“
What do you need to tell me? I’m working,” Renee snapped.

“
I need to find the guy, Renee. I’m pregnant. He didn’t use a condom,” I partially lied. “Could you at least have him call me? We need to talk about this. You know I’m against abortions.”

“
Elaine, what the fuck do you want from me? I told you I haven’t spoken to him. I saw him put on a condom before I left. If you allowed him to fuck you without a condom, then it sounds like your problem. Leave me the fuck out of your shit!” she yelled.

I had to contain my laughter. I could just imagine everyone in her neighboring cubicles all in her business.

“
But, Renee,” I tried to sound as if I were crying, “please don’t do this to me and my baby. I am in this predicament because I was doing you a favor. I could find him myself if you both didn’t leave me blindfolded and tied up in a hotel room. I need you to get in touch with him and have him call me. I’m at home right now. Please, Renee. Otherwise, we could meet at a hotel or something.” I made sobbing noises.

Thankfully, I had Kelly and Shawnee’s phone extension on mute, because they were cracking up at my performance.

“
Fine, Elaine. I’ll call him at work and have him call you. He’s probably going to block his number, so be sure to answer,” she conceded. “And one more thing, I’m sorry for dragging you and a helpless baby into this mess, but leave me the fuck alone from now on! I got a new man, and I ain’t got time for none of your shit.”

Then she slammed down the phone’s receiver.

“
A new man? Doesn’t she have a lot of damn nerve? Now I guess we just wait,” I said to Shawnee and Kelly.

“
I would love to hear the conversation when she calls his ass. She’s probably going ballistic on him,” Kelly said.

“
Did he really fuck you without a condom?” Shawnee asked sadly, ignoring everything else.

“
He used a condom. I could hear when he was changing it. I could also feel it. Didn’t you hear Renee say she saw him put it on?”

Again, I partially lied. I didn’t actually feel it, and I only heard him change it that one time. I also felt his hot volcanic explosion that had me tightly squeezing my legs for days after. I know for certain he didn’t have one on when I was sucking his dick. That’s too much information to give up to Shawnee, though.

“
What I want to know is how this ugly bitch got a new man already?” Kelly asked with attitude. “I mean, I just don’t get how niggas are lining up to fuck her ugly ass.”

“
I don’t know, but she never had a problem getting one. Most of them are cute. I’d look at them and wonder how myself. Leave it to her, she thinks her pussy is gold, and smart men know what’s good for them,” I answered.

“
Stop it! You both are making me sick. The thought of that bastard putting his little pecker inside of me after having been with that nasty bitch…” Shawnee said, disgusted.

Hell, I enjoyed that little pecker myself. It ain’t always what they got, but how they use it. Then again, I’ve learned how to get off on some of my tricks with a dick no bigger than a pinky. Perhaps the skills don’t lie with the man, but with the woman.

Ten minutes later, my phone was ringing. I decided to let the voicemail pick it up in hopes that he would be dumb enough to leave a message. He was.

“
Hi, Elaine,” he said in that nerdy-ass voice. “I just received a very vulgar message from your friend Renee on my voicemail. She said you were pregnant with my child. We need to discuss this because I am a happily married man, and I can’t have any illegitimate children. If it’s money that you need, then let me know. Under no circumstance can you have this baby. Name your price to make this happen. Please call me as soon as possible on my private phone…301-555-7080. I’ll be waiting for your call. Also, I want you to know that I’m very sorry this happened. I think you’re a very beautiful woman, and under different circumstances, I would love nothing more than to stay by your side and raise this child with you. But, that’s just not realistic. So, again, name your price. That’s about as fair as I can be to you at this time. You deserve much better. Believe it or not, I actually have feelings for you. Renee and I are no longer involved because of my feelings for you, but I guess none of that matters to you or the baby. I guess I should have been more careful. I also wish I didn’t have to blindfold you, because I would have loved to look into your beautiful eyes when I made love to you. It was love for me, but unfortunately, like I said before, I’m happily married and plan to stay that way.”

I had to grab Shawnee, who was furiously in tears, when she was going to reach for the phone. I wanted him to keep digging his own grave.

He continued. “I truly wish there were a way I could make love to you again, but that’s not possible without there being major complications. Do know, being with you was everything and more than what I’d hoped for. Again, call me so we can talk…301-555-7080. Talk to you soon,” he said, then hung up.

Shawnee screamed out like someone was killing her. Kelly and I tried to console her. Thankfully, he mentioned the blindfold, because that helped my story.

Shawnee went into the bathroom a sobbing fool.

“
Okay, time for the truth,” Kelly said to me as soon as Shawnee was securely in the bathroom.

“
Huh?” I was puzzled.

“
You did not feel a damn condom on his dick. You can tell that lie to Shawnee, but you’re not going to tell that lie to me,” she demanded quietly to keep Shawnee from hearing.

“
What was I going to say, Kelly? Do you think I wanted to tell anymore lies to Shawnee? You saw her. What should I have said to her?” I asked.

“
I guess you’re right, but you better hope she doesn’t figure it out as easily as I did. He damn near admitted he didn’t use a condom in the message. If she listens a few more times, she’s going to pick up on it, Elaine,” Kelly warned.

I just shook my head in disgust and started crying myself.

“
Tell that bastard you need fifteen thousand dollars to abort the baby,” Shawnee demanded when she came out of the bathroom looking like a wounded raccoon. “And don’t you dare tell me any more fucking lies! You knew damn well he wasn’t wearing a condom when you told me that bullshit lie.”

All I could do was cringe. I expected her to jump on me at any second, but Kelly calmed her down.

“
Shawnee, Elaine was just trying to spare you further hurt. Don’t be angry at her. She was the victim here, as well,” Kelly reasoned.

“
I know. You’re right, but it hurts like hell!” Shawnee yelled, foaming at the mouth while she spoke. “How dare that sick bastard carry on about how happily married he is, but go on about how he made love to Elaine and wanted her so bad. BASTARD! I don’t even know that number he left,” she cried out.
