Click hereDamn, he was actually coming over, through the crowd. I hadn't talked to him since the big fallout. That wasn't my fault; he had simply refused to communicate in any way. This had the potential to become a bit embarrassing.
"Lisa."
"Martin."
"You look good."
"Thank you." The looks I had received throughout the whole evening had confirmed his statement. "This could still be yours, Martin." I couldn't help pointing out the obvious.
"What?" he replied, as if not believing what he was hearing.
"If you hadn't run for the hills upon the first sign of trouble..."
"You call yourself boldly announcing out of the blue that you want to sleep with another man 'the first sign of trouble?' I'd call that a marital death sentence."
"Nothing had happened. It was just supposed to be a wakeup call."
"Great plan," he sarcastically added. "How did it work?"
"Not as intended, I admit that."
"I bet it hasn't. You're penniless and I've lost my wife. So, how's it going with him?" he said, looking like he might hope to see misery.
"He's at home..."
"Haha, I bet..." he interrupted me. I suddenly remembered how much I always hated it when he did that.
"...from time to time, like a decent partner. He's over there, by the way. He's actually married to me, not to his job." Damn, I didn't want to hurt him, but why did he have to attack me anyway? Everything was settled. We were divorced, which was about the last thing I wanted back then.
"Haha, I bet. A damn fitness trainer, for God's sake, Lisa. That's low, even for you. Couldn't you at least show some class? Some brainless muscle man with no cash? Don't you miss our dream vacations on Ko Samui?"
"Seriously? Even then you were always working and I was always rubbing one out, just like when we were at home." I could see that that one hit home.
"Lisa, we had sex from time to time, and it was good," he whined.
"Really? You could have fooled me, especially now that I have someone with whom to compare you."
"So, how's life while you're sitting in a shitty apartment, dreaming of our mansion, of luxury resorts and the fancy cars you used to have?"
"It's true, our apartment is quite small. Yes, we go on vacation locally. You seem to have forgotten that I relinquished getting any of your money in the divorce. For you, everything is about money; for me, it isn't. I would have given it all away for some of your time, while we were married.
"Martin, I didn't want to hurt you with what I did. Tim was in on it, he was just a friend back then. He was helping me with my final desperate wake-up call. Okay, it didn't work, but I didn't know what else to do. You refused to talk about it; instead, you bought me presents.
"To answer your question, yes, our apartment is small. We don't need much room, we stick together all the time anyway. Do I miss Ko Samui? Not really. We hike through the mountains and forests around and those are the best vacations I've ever had, not just because of the constant sex.
"No, I don't miss an overweight partner who has let himself go physically because money was his sole priority. I don't miss him rutting away on top of me for a few minutes, even in case it happened at least once during a two week stay in a luxury resort. I had no one to compare you to, then, but now I have.
"I've continued my studies, Martin. I'm going to be a doctor soon. I'm my own person again. I'm being loved, cherished, I'm happy. I admit that my plan to save our marriage was flawed and that it didn't work. I would never had left you and I would never have cheated. You just mumbled something about cuckolds, whatever that is, and ran for the hills without ever again talking to me. I sincerely thank you, Martin. So far, you've brought me the best two years of my life. It was the best thing you ever did for me. I hope your millions will keep you warm at night."
I left him standing there, his mouth still hanging open as my beautiful husband took me into his arms and greeted me with a kiss that made my knees wobbly. Boy, had I traded up.
Jezzaz had the brilliant idea to have us all write stories with exactly 750 words, which is the minimum word count allowed here. This is my contribution. Thanks to Blackrandl1958 for editing.
Bebop3 asked if I would mind if he wrote about the same events from the husband's perspective. His story is titled "Steppin' Stone," and is also part of the 750 Word Project effort.
so it sounds like they both got what they wanted. However, I really don't see how or why her new guy would take a used wife when he could have anyone fresh and new? I guess he does love her after all.
Hahahahaha...I've continued my studies. I'm going to be a doctor soon...I'm my own person again...
Yeah...she describing her great life and how she has all this time and how great things are. While she is studying in her spare time to be a doctor.
Nonsense. Medical school and residency is one of the hardest and most time consuming things to do in the entire world. It's like 6 to 8 years of pure hell.
She didn't just decide to go back to study to be a doctor. It's a laughable assertion.
And it sounds Iike she's doing a whole lot of justification to him and to herself.
What does he care anyway? It sounds like he is VERY wealthy. Hire a couple of trainers for working out. A chef to cook the proper nutrition. And a surgeon to make him look better.
With his wealth? In a year he'll be fucking models and strippers any time he wants.
Fuck this cheating cunt playing games with trying to "give him a wake up call".
Games stupid bitches play.
Pretty darn good for a 760 word effort
Four stars for me. In a longer story, I could easily see five stars.
JPB
I get what you were trying to do but she came across as stupid and a bitch. (husband had faults too)
Why do some commenters disbelieve the author when they make it clear that the husband was a narcissistic asshole. Yeah her plan to "wake up" hubby backfired. It sounds like it was the misguided endgame of a long campaign to bring her husband at the time back into the marriage where he was only partly active. She threw the digs in about constant sex because she wanted to hurt him when he tossed the being poor around. Newsflash people: some husbands are just assholes. His deprecating talk down to her showed it. And the author via the ex wife lists a number of ways he broke his marriage vows. Instead of confronting her or trying to investigate, he screamed that he wouldn't be a "cuck" and dripped the mic and fled the marriage via the prenuptial. Nice guy. Quite a coward. So stop with the "she should know better to play games" crap. What is next know her place? Screw that. The husband did not "cherish, love, and honor" as part of his vows. He was absent, and asshole part time husband, who spent little time with her, was focused on money and rarely was intimate with her, and when he was it sucked. It wasn't about the sex. It was the fact he neglected her and didn't bring anything to the marriage but money. Some btbers somehow think all men are saints. Balderdash.
