Diary Of a Pissed Off Wife(9)
I took the phone away from my ear. Was this bitch for real? She sounded like a recalcitrant sixteen year old. Had I really been worried about this idiot?
I mouthed the words ‘what the fuck’ to the girls, before putting the phone back to my ear. I had planned to have a little fun with her, but this was just pathetic. Either she’d never done this before, this little shakedown, or she just never expected to be on the receiving end of a call from the wife. She certainly didn’t seem prepared. Dumber than a bag a hammers.
"So you knew he was married."
"Of course I knew, I've been traveling with the team for almost a year."
"And by your own admission you're the one who went after him."
"What difference does it make? This is the twenty first century, women don't have to wait for the man to make the first move any more. You really are stupid."
"Uh huh! You have a proctologist little girl?"
"No why?"
"Because you're gonna need someone to remove my foot from your ass."
Chapter 13
I hung up the phone because really, what was the point? “You got the address too right Jilly?”
“Oh shit, what’re we doing?”
“Calm down Sandy, you don’t have to get out the truck, but I have to deal with this shit tonight.”
“I’ll get out, I just wanna know what we’re doing.” She started rummaging through her purse for her inhaler; she gets asthma attacks at the first sign of trouble.
“Sandy, maybe you should just head on home.” I was a little worried because her shit scares the crap outta me.
“Are you crazy, and miss this? No way, I want in; just let me get a few puffs.” She pumped into her mouth while Jilessa started taking off her jewelry.
Paulette put the truck in gear. “Where to Jilessa? let’s get this shit hopping.”
“Well damn Paulette, give you a few martinis and you just shed the proper.”
“If you only knew how much of this shit I put up with when Ron and I were first married; always some floosy trying to work her wiles. I was always too much the nice girl back then. Now I wanna flex my muscles.”
“That’s right Ms. Paulette git ‘er done.” She and jilessa high-fived each other; the nuts.
We drove out to the apartment complex, which was on the other side of town. Mind you, I had no idea how we were going to get this girl out her house, but I’ll figure it out. We decided to park a little ways down, after circling the block.
It was coming on dark and the streets were relatively quiet. “Maybe we should just ring some random doorbell and see if they let us in.” That was Jilessa’s idea and it sounded good to me.
“That might work.” We started walking up when Paulette grabbed my arm and pulled us up short. “Look at that.”
“You have got to be shitting me. What the fuck, what’re they doing here?”
We stood back and watched as Mary and her husband walked to the apartment complex. I was in a fugue for a hot minute, because nothing was making sense. Why were they here? How did they play into this shit?
“That bitch…” Jilly started to pounce.
“No Jilly wait, this changes shit; there’s something fishy as fuck going on here.” We watched from the hedges as Will kissed his wife goodbye and turned and walked back to his car.
Will is the new kid on the block, he plays second string to Travis, and since my baby is the shit, the boy doesn’t really get any play. Though the few times I met him he seemed amiable enough, one of those good ole boys, just happy to make the team. I didn’t see him for this, so what the fuck?
Chapter 14
We tried Jilly’s trick and started pressing random door buzzers. We had a quick regroup in the lobby, but by then they were all as pissed as I was.
“I can’t believe that asshole is part of this. After we accepted him into the fold and treated him like family.”
“We don’t know that he’s involved Jilly.”
“Fuck that; I say we break that dickless wonder’s kneecaps after we fry the wife.”
There was no talking to her when she got like this, so there was no use to even try.
We heard raised voices as soon as we reached the third floor. Keeping close to the wall, we made our way as quietly as possible towards the door.
“Why are you such a fuck up? All you had to do was fuck him, make his life hell and get him out of the way. How fucking hard was that?”
“The guy wasn’t interested, and now his wife’s calling me. And besides I kinda like him. The deal was that I would get to keep him, and after his life got back together he’d be back on the team.”
