I felt different then I had in a long time. I felt sad and relieved. Maybe I felt sad that I didn't get a chance to go further with Jerry and maybe a little relieved that he was gone. I began taking my dress off as I walked back to the guest room and found Jackie reading a book.

"What's the matter? Why aren't you out there talking to Jerry?"

"Jerry had to leave. He has work to do at his garage in the morning. Why don't you turn off that light and come into bed with me?"

I carried the dress back to our room and kicked off the shoes. I pulled the thong down my legs and started to toss them onto the floor. I noticed how wet they had become. I knew it was from Jerry. He had me excited and turned on and the way things were going, Jerry and I problebly would have ended up having sex!

I went into the bathroom to pee. When I returned, Jackie was laying in bed waiting for me. I guess she was anxious to hear about Jerry. I got under the blankets and snuggled up against Jackie.

"How did it go?"

"Oh. He seems like a very nice man. You saw the way he showed me pictures of his family and everything."

"I saw you dancing, what was with the shirt being off?"

"He was getting hot so it got unbuttoned somehow."

Jackie laughed. "You don't remember how his shirt got unbuttoned?"

"Well. I helped him since we were dancing and I guess I made some sort of comment about his muscles. He let me touch his abs."

"Did he kiss you?"

That was the question that I so dreaded but I couldn't lie. "Yes. We kissed."

"Your thing was soaked at the crotch, I know he turned you on. Didn't he?"

I laughed at the way he presented that question. "Oh. Your checking out my thong to see if I got wet? I told you before the date that I thought he was attractive."

I thought Jack was going to fall asleep after laying there silently for a few minutes but then asked another question. 

"Did Jerry touch you?"

"He held me while we danced but if you mean somewhere more intimate, no."

That was the last question he asked before falling asleep. I know he was exhausted from helping me cook dinner and I could only imagine the stress he endured that day. It took its toll on me.

We got up Saturday morning as if nothing had taken place the night before. I wasn't sure if that date with Jerry last night was just to satisfy mine or Jackie's curiosity, or maybe it was a test to see if I would remain faithful. 

My feelings told me it was much more then just a simple date. I felt that Jackie, himself was anxious to test out his own sexuality. I was beginning to sense that by having me go out on a date with this man, it would somehow make him feel as if he were allowed to even the score. I think it was a guilt trip for him. 

Many questions remained for me. Is that what I wanted in our relationship? Should I allow my husband to test his sexuality? Should I continue and satisfy my own curiosity?

I thought our relationship was so special and felt content with a loving and caring husband who I didn't mind had certain changes in his body that affected the way he performed sexually. Our lie we told to Jerry about being sisters was so much true! We lived out lives like sisters but I felt my sister wanted more. 

It was mid afternoon and the phone rang. Jackie answered it. "Hi. I'm doing fine. I'm really sorry I interrupted you and my sister last night."

It was Jerry calling! What was I going to say to him?

"Oh. I didn't mind helping out with the food and wine. It wasn't anything, but thank you. Yes. My sister is here, let me get her."

Jack handed me the phone. "Hello Jerry, how are you doing."

"Hey. I thought I'd call and see if you were doing anything. I thought that maybe we could take a ride on my boat this afternoon."

"Um. Hang on let me see if Jackie has anything planned."

Jackie was waiving her arms for me to say, yes.

"Well. I guess I'm free this afternoon."

"Good. Can I pick you up and, say? An hour?"

"That would be fine. I'll see you then!"

Jack helped me pick out something to wear. I decided to wear shorts and a tank top and brought along a sweater. I slipped into my sneakers as the doorbell rang. I was nervous and felt my hands shaking as I applied my lipstick.

Jackie had answered the door and I could hear them talking in the front room. When I finally walked out, Jackie and Jerry were seated on the sofa. Jerry stood and gave me a little kiss on my cheek and I told Jackie I'd be hope early in the evening. I remember the last two words she said to me on my way out the door.

"Have fun!"
