"The secret to a Happy Marriage"


Chapter 1
Sharing the Secret

By lancellot

Act 1
Scene 1
Setting: Lights open on a typical Irish pub in Chicago. It is late March and still cold. The time is shortly after five in the evening and a few people are drinking at the bar.
Enter Ted
Enter extras
Enter James
 
Narrator (disembodied voice):
James walks into the nearly empty pub and notes the usual crowd has yet to come in. With one eye on the flat screen he hears someone call his name. He follows the voice to Ted sitting at the bar and makes his way over.

James: Evening, Ted. (James pats the younger man on the back and sits next to him.) Why the long face?

Ted: I’m lost, dude. (He shakes his head.) Two years in and I still can’t figure this marriage thing out.

James raises his finger and the bartender gives him a knowing nod.

James: Let me guess.  You and Jen are fighting over money again, and you just don’t understand why she needs so many purses?

Ted: I wish. I gave up trying to figure that out along with whole shoe mystery last year.

James: Wise man; I spent three years fighting with Pam about that.

James takes a sip of his newly arrived beer.

Ted: What happened?

James: I lost. Now she has one closet for her clothes and another for her shoes and purses.

Ted: Wait a minute. You only have a two bedroom house. Where are your things?

James: In the garage, but it’s okay because she bought me some warm slippers so I don’t come back to bed with cold feet.

Ted: Damn, you sure did lose. (Ted turns and looks at the smile on James' face) Why are you smiling?

James takes a long draught of his beer and then places the empty mug down. He slams his fist into his chest and belches loudly.

James: Teddy, my boy, I’m going to let you in on a little secret you probably wouldn’t figure out until your hair has fallen out, your gut is hanging over your belt, your wife only has sex with you on your birthday, and your kids have lost all respect for you.

A half-smirk forms on Ted's face and he leans closer to James.

Ted: Yeah, and what’s that, oh wise one?

James: Look at me, Ted. (He stands and spreads his arms out.) I’ve been married for fifteen years. Everything in my house has been chosen by my wife. The only thing that is mine is the grill.  I drive an old rusty pick-up.  My wife gives me a half-decent blow job every two weeks; if she’s in the mood. I have no kids, so the wife knows I can leave without strings; which is the only reason I still get a BJ now and then. Yet, I am a happy and satisfied man. Why?

Ted: How the hell should I know? You don’t have a life insurance policy; so you’re worth more alive than dead?

James: No, but I may have to look into that.

Ted: Then I’m at a lost. What’s your secret?

James: I cheat.

Ted: What?

James: You heard me. I cheat. Well, I do other things too, but we’ll get into that later.

Ted blinks several times at his friend.

Ted: Are you nuts? Pam will kill you if she finds out. She’ll take your ass to court and leave you naked on the steps.

James sits down and slowly shakes his head.

James: I am home after work every day, except Fridays, when I’m here. The rest of the time I walk around the house like I’m a lost neutered lamb. She thinks I’m a domesticated, broken man, and she’s the best thing in my life. And she loves it that way. So, every six months I take a stress vacation. The first vacation is always in the Dominican Republic. She thinks I’m sports fishing. I bring home a few pictures of marlins or a sword fish I get from the internet, and she’s none the wiser. In reality, it’s just me, a bottle of Viagra, and two or three beautiful senoritas for the weekend.

Ted: Oh, you are going straight to Hell.

James: I’ve been to Hell. It looks something like a guy sitting at a bar trying to drown his sorrows and wondering where his balls went. No, my friend, I’m talking about Heaven, complete with naked angels who speak little or no English.

Ted: No, I can’t believe your old butt could pick-up a beautiful anything.

James: You’re right, that’s why I buy them.

Ted: You what?

James: Look, this is a fantasy. If I wanted to beg for pity sex, I’d bring the wife. If I want good sex, I get a girlfriend, but I want fantastic, toe curling, triple x rated, devil blushing sex with no reservations. I want to feel like a man, a king or even better a sheik. And for that I pay for a harem.

Ted: No, that can’t be the solution. I could never do that to Jen or any innocent woman.

James stands up, wipes his lips and zips-up his jacket. He looked towards the door, and gradually his face sags, he stoops over just a fraction and his eyes take on a defeated look.

He turns to Ted and winks.

James: They ain’t all that innocent, buddy. Look, I’m heading home. I leave for my sexcation in a few weeks. It would be nice to have a friend to share the adventures with.  Trust me, Ted, there are just some things a man needs to be a man.  The great sex is only one of them. That lost feeling you have; that sensation that something is missing. I had it too. Give me call if you want to talk more. Goodnight.

Ted: Goodnight, buddy.

Exit James

Narrator:
Ted watches his friend shuffle out of the bar. Suddenly he doesn’t feel like drinking anymore. He puts a twenty on the bar and heads for the door. It’s a short walk home, but Ted decides to take the long way. He walks out into the cold and wonders if James really knows how to fill the emptiness he feels.

Exit Ted

Chapter 2
A Single Man's Point of View

By lancellot

Act 1
Scene 2

Setting:  Lights open on the living room of James and Pamela O'Bannon. Pamela is sitting on the sofa talking with her younger brother Robby who is sitting opposite her in a recliner. She is angry because her new attempt to match him up with a female friend has failed yet again.


Robby: Come on, Pam, it’s not like I forced her or got her drunk. She knew exactly what she was doing. There is nothing wrong with having mutual fun on the first date.

He smiles at her and runs a comb through his slick hair for the umpteenth time.

Pamela rolls her eyes and points her thin finger at him.

Pamela: Don’t give me that mutual fun stuff. You knew damn well Sabrina was coming off a bad divorce and was looking for something meaningful and long-term.

Her brother laughs and leans forward in his chair.

Robby: She may have told you that lie, but a woman doesn’t go on a date without her underwear unless she’s planning for easy access. What we did meant a lot and it lasted a long time.

Pamela blushes and covers her open mouth with her hand.

Pamela: Sabrina is a good church going woman. She would never do such a thing, unless you…

Robby: Unless I what? Look, sis, you can pretend every woman only unlocks her legs to pee like you, and your hubby is cool with that.  I prefer to live in the real world, and in my world sex is a way of life, and life is good. Hell, last night life was good several times to Sabrina and once more before breakfast.

Pamela narrows her eyes at her little brother.

Pamela: For your information my husband is very happy with our life, and I talked to Sabrina this morning.  She is through with you, and I’m done trying to find you a wife.

Robby takes a deep breath and then slowly shakes his head.

Robby: One, your husband is chronically depressed. The only time he smiles is when he’s going on vacation… far away from you, and if you think all he’s catching is fish then you really are living in a dream world.

Pamela rises from the sofa and stomps towards her brother.

Pamela: Why you arrogant little snot. You don’t know a thing about James. He’s a real man. He knows how to respect a woman.  Our life is perfect and normal. A real relationship is not based on sex. It is built on things much more important than animal urges.  Here I try to make your life complete and all I get for my trouble is--

Robby: The truth. That’s what I give women; including you, dear sister. For the record my life is great. I will never ruin it by getting married. Why would any sane man trap himself with one woman, the constant threat of alimony, unfair child support, and crooked divorce courts?  Only a fool would willingly make himself a slave. You only want me married because misery loves company.

Robby reaches into his pocket and pulls out his cell.

Robby: Oh, and two, Sabrina texted me an hour ago, she’s coming over tonight for round three and she’s bringing the Jell-O. Church girls are the best. They know how to build guilt during the week, and ask for forgiveness on Sunday.

The front door opens.

Enter James

James walks in with his head down. Both Pamela and Robby turn towards him.

Robby: And here’s the happy man of the house. Well, I have to head home to shower and change the sheets.

Pamela: Good, you are filthy in more ways than one.

James: Hello dear. Hi yah doing, Robby?

Pamela: Hello, honey.

Robby hops up and walks up to James.

Robby: Oh, I’m surviving. Say, brother-in-law, when are you going… fishing?

James stares at the smiling young man for a second.

James: In about two weeks.

Robby: Mind if I come along? I would love to catch one of those exotic Caribbean fishes.

James turns towards his wife and then back to the smiling Robby.

James: No, I...um ... I don’t mind, but it will be expensive and may bore a young guy like you.

Robby: Great, and don’t worry. No wife and no kids, so I got loads of cash. I’ll call you for the details. You two married folks have good night. I know I will.

Exit Robby

Pamela turns and silently walks up the stairs, leaving James alone with a look of worry on his face.

Chapter 3
Spouses are lovers too

By lancellot

Warning: The author has noted that this contains strong sexual content.

Setting:  Light opens to Pamela and James’ bedroom. Pamela is preparing to take a shower. She is standing naked before the mirror and thinking of her conversation with Robby. The audience can hear her thoughts.
 
Pamela’s thoughts: The nerve of that boy. All my hard work at making him respectable and all I get are disrespect and childish antics.

Pamela pauses and the audience hears James rummaging in the kitchen. Pamela stares at her nude body in the mirror and then suddenly covers herself with her arms.

Pamela’s thoughts: I’m not as young as I used to be. It doesn’t matter our marriage is more than… more than lust and…  James loves me with or without doing… things so often. We aren’t teens anymore; he doesn’t… or does he?

Slowly her arms fall to her sides, and she stands up straight. Her eyes trace the image of her body as if it’s the first time she had seen herself.

Pamela’s thoughts: How long has it been since we… how long since I had a…

With her back to the audience, her hands starts to drift down.  Heavy footsteps are heard, and Pam quickly pulls her robe on. The bedroom door opens.

Enter James.

James pauses upon entering. He looks at his wife for a second but says nothing. He walks to his side of the room, sits on the bed and begins taking off his shoes.

Pamela watches her husband’s reflection in the mirror and her right hand absently slips into her robe.

Pamela’s thoughts: Does he still love me? Is he cheating on me? No, Robby is an idiot. James would never have agreed to take him along if he were seeing other women. He has no reason to. I… I am always here for him. He knows I love him. He knows that I… I still desire him. Doesn’t he? He still wants me too. I know he does. I know it. Robby is wrong, but is he wrong about everything?

James takes off his shirt. He stands up and begins to unbutton his pants.  Pamela turns and walks towards him. She wrings her hands as if nervous.

Pamela: Honey.

James looks up and sees his wife coming towards him.

James: What?

Pamela: Thank you for agreeing to take Robby with you. It means a lot to me. He needs a role model like you. He’s so… irresponsible.

Pamela stands in front of James and stares up into his eyes. Her hands fall to her side.

James: It’s no big deal. Ted may come along too, so the more the merrier.

Pamela’s hands slowly move to James’ pants and her fingers settle on his zipper. Her eyes never leave his.

James notices and begins to fidget from side to side.

Pamela: I don’t mind…BIG... things. Can I see yours?

James clears his throat and looks down at his wife with a puzzled expression.

Pamela’s hands move to unzip her husband’s pants.

The audience hears the sound of unzipping.

Pamela’s back is to the audience blocking their view as she seemingly reaches into James’ pants and pulls out his member.

James: I… um… I haven’t showered yet. I’m still dirty. Are you sure you… I mean… this isn’t like…

Pamela’s arms move up and down as she begins to slowly stroke her husband, while staring up at him.

James closes his eyes and moans softly.

Pamela:  (voice low and seductive) Do you remember how we used to meet under the bleachers during our senior year? You said you would explode if you didn’t have me every day. I was scared at first, so I used only my hands, like this.

James: I… I remember.

Pamela: The truth is I looked forward to holding you, and stroking you. I loved watching you grow so big in my tiny hands, feeling you build up, and knowing that I was doing that. Me!  After a while I wasn’t afraid anymore and all I wanted was to kiss it, to lick it, and then for you to turn me around, bend me over, and stick this big--

James: I… oh honey. Oh God!

Pamela: Already? Oh my!

Pamela looks down between them.

James throws is head back and sighs loudly.

James: Damn.

Pamela: That was… that was unexpected, and quite a lot.

James takes a deep breath and wipes the sweat off his face.

James: I’m sorry, baby. I didn’t mean to… to get you dirty.

Pamela smiles and giggles. She opens her robe and wraps her arms around her husband, pressing her naked body into his. She pulls his head down and kisses him passionately on the lips. She giggles again, presses her cheek against his bare chest, and then grabs both of his hands and places them firmly on her butt. They embrace and sway gently.

Pamela (whispers): Thank you.

James: For what? I kind of made a mess.

Pamela: The only thing you’ve made is your wife very happy. The rest we can clean off in the shower together, and then we can dirty each other up some more. That is… if you can?

James smiles down at his wife and squeezes her bottom.

James: Oh, I’m sure I can oblige you, little lady.

Pamela: Good, lover, let’s get clean and then get really dirty.

Smiling, Pamela takes James by the hand and leads him through the door and off stage.

Exit Pamela
Exit James

Not with such a tiny waist. Let’s see. Isabella likes: BBJ, FS, GFE, COF, CIP, HJ, and threesomes with her twin sister, Isis. Limited time only, both ladies can be reserved for the price of one. No way!

Ted sits up and readjusts the computer on his lap.

Jennifer (off stage): Ted… Ted, are you upstairs?

Ted: Shit!

Ted scrabbles to close the website and shuts off the laptop. He shoves it under the bed, grabs the remote and turns on the TV.

Ted (yelling out): Yeah, I’m up here, honey.

Ted notices a tent in his lap and quickly covers himself with a pillow.

The door opens.

Enter Jennifer

Jennifer walks in carrying her purse and a shopping bag. She drops them by the door and kicks off her heels. She walks over to Ted and kisses him quickly on the lips.

Jen: Ooh, you’re hot, honey. Are you getting sick on me? Is that why you’re in bed so early?

She places a hand on Ted’s forehead.

Ted gently removes her hand.

Ted: I’m fine, babe. I just felt like waiting for you in bed.

Jen: Good, because snuggling against your warm body makes me feel better when I’m cramping.

Ted: Cramping? I thought next week you--

Jen: So did I. Today was insane. I just started bleeding out of nowhere. Thank god I had some pads in my desk. My flow was crazy heavy. By noon I was so bloated, I looked like I was six months pregnant. Look at my belly.

She lifts her shirt up.

Jen: I know what you’re thinking, but today can still be a good day.

Ted: Oh, and what do you have in mind?

Jennifer snatches the pillow off Ted’s lap and straddles him. She smiles, places her hands on his bare shoulders and leans in to him.

Jen: I found a solution of our problem.

Ted: Huh?

Jen: I was talking to Pam and she mentioned that she and James don’t share a closet. They moved his clothes out to the garage, but I wouldn’t do that to you.

Ted: Thanks.

Jen: We can move your stuff into the guestroom. I talked to a contractor and he sent over some sketches.

Ted: Wait, sketches of what?

Jen: My new walk-in closet. Wait till I show you them. Roll-out shelves for my shoes, a wall for my purses, and a space for a new vanity. Well, what do you think?

The lights grow dim and a spotlight focuses on Ted. He tilts his head to the side. The audience can hear his thoughts.

Ted’s thoughts: Hmm, if she gets what she wants, then I can get what I want. I don’t have to do anything with anyone. I can just enjoy the scenery and natural beauty. There’s no harm in just looking, or maybe a little backrub.  

The lights brighten and the spotlight vanishes.

Ted: I think, if it makes my baby happy then it’s a great idea.

Jen: Really? Oh baby. Don’t worry about a thing. I got it all budgeted.

She hugs Ted and kisses him. She hops off him and dances to her vanity where she begins taking off her earrings.

Ted: I was talking to James today. He was telling me how good the sport fishing is in the Dominican Republic. He usually rents a boat for a day or two.

Jen: That sounds nice, but I don’t really like boats. I get sea-sick.

Ted: Well, I’m not talking about putting you on a small fishing boat.

Jennifer, sitting with her back to Ted, begins brushing her hair

Jen: Then what am I supposed to do? Wait around in a resort alone. I’m not going shopping in some third-world town by myself. They take pretty women like me. I’ve saw that movie, Taken. Not that I don’t think you won’t come for me like that old guy. I know you would.

Ted shrugs.

Ted: Actually, we were talking about having a guy’s mini-holiday; just the two of us.

Jennifer stops, and turns around in her chair. She stares at Ted for a few seconds.

Jen: You want to go on vacation without me?

Ted: It’s not a vacation. It’s just a weekend of fishing in a tiny boat. You know, like the Old Man and the Sea.

Jen: But, without your wife?

Ted: It’s only an idea. If you don’t want me to go, then I won’t. I’ll just call Ted and tell him you said no.

Jen: Well, I can’t… I mean, I’m not… how long would you be gone?

Ted: Just a weekend. Two maybe three days tops. It’s not like James has many friends, you know?

Jen: Yeah, he seems miserable most of the time. Don’t tell Pam I said that. (Pauses) Okay, it’s only a weekend. You deserve some time to do guy stuff.

Ted: You sure?

Jen: Yes, just make sure you use protection.

Ted: Huh?

Jen: I don’t care how good of a swimmer you were in college. You wear a life jacket and wear sunscreen at all times. You know how easy it is to get burned in places like that.

Jennifer walks over to Ted and sits on the bed next to him.

Ted: I promise … safety first.

They embrace.

Jen (whispers): You won’t really have fun without me.

Ted (whispers): I know.

Chapter 5
The Rules of the Game

By lancellot

Warning: The author has noted that this contains strong sexual content.

Act 1
Scene 5
Setting: Lights open inside the living room of Robby’s apartment. He is fluffing pillows on the sofa and brushing off a small recliner next to it. He begins lighting candles for his date with Sabrina.

Robby lights the last candle on a coffee table and looks around the room. His hand is on his chin in a contemplative pose.

Robby: Hmm, something is not right. Oh, I know.

He stands behind the recliner and begins pushing it into a closet.

Robby (continues): That’s better. Robby’s rule number five. Always limit the options.

Robby goes to a drawer on a cabinet and pulls out a bottle of K-Y. He slides the bottle in between the cushions of the sofa.

Robby (continues): Rule number two. Mother Nature can always use a little help.

The buzzer sounds and Robby rushes to press the intercom.

Robby (continues): Is it a naked centerfold?

Voice from intercom: Rob-by…it’s me, Sabrina.

Robby (whispering): Rule number fourteen. All naked women are centerfolds.

Robby presses the unlock button on the intercom.

Robby: Come on up.

He cracks open his front door, and then runs back to the cabinet where he pulls out a condom. He rips open the package, turns his back to the audience and we hear him unzip his pants. His arms moves and then we hear his pants zip up. He spins back around and pats his groin.

Robby (continues): Rule number seven. Always be prepared for loving.

The door opens.

Enter Sabrina

Robby walks to her and leans in for a kiss. Sabrina turns her cheek to him at the last moment, and then steps back.

Robby: I did plan on kissing your cheeks tonight but not quite like that. What’s wrong?

Sabrina sighs, wrings her hands, and then walks towards the wall. She has her back turned to Robby.

Sabrina: Robby, I came over because I feel you deserve to hear this from me in person.

Robby (whispering): Oh, please don’t say you tested positive.

Sabrina not hearing him turns around and steps closer.

Sabrina: It’s John, he wants to give our marriage another try. I know we just got divorced, but I feel we owe it to our daughter to give it another chance. I’m sorry about last night. I was lonely and used you for sex. I swear that’s not like me. I’ve never done anything like that before. I’m so ashamed.

Robby stares at her in silence for a few seconds. He lowers his head and covers his face with his hands.

Sabrina rushes over to him and hugs him.

Sabrina: I didn’t mean to hurt you. I’m so sorry. I’ll do anything to make it up to you.

Still embracing they turn so Robby is facing the audience. He looks up and smiles as his hands slowly slide down her back towards her tight jeans.

Robby: Oh, Sabrina. I… I understand, and you are a wonderful person for putting your family before yourself. I have never met anyone like you. I’m glad I could make you happy, at least for one night. Sometimes, a night of giving affection can change a person’s life. I only wish… no it’s too much…

Robby releases her and turns away from her with his head lowered.

Sabrina: What? What do you wish?

Robby: I really shouldn’t ask. No… never mind, it’s wrong.

Sabrina steps close to him and with her finger, lifts his chin.

Sabrina: You can ask me anything. I owe you so much.

Robby: I want you to be happy, and if reuniting with John does that, then so be it. But you were married for five years and I’m sure you’ll spend a lot of time trying to rebuild what he destroyed. I don’t want us to end, but rather, a postponement for the sake of family.

He takes both her hands in his and gazes down into her eyes.

Robby (continues): My dear, let us not separate in sadness. Let us join in love and happiness for what may be, but hopefully not, our last night together.

He leans down and kisses her. They embrace and kiss each other with passion.

Sabrina: Okay, just let me freshen up.

She kicks off her heels and then saunters towards the bathroom while taking off her blouse.

Exit Sabrina

Robby: Rule number three. Once you’ve accepted you’re going to hell, nothing else matters.

He starts to undress and walks toward the bathroom.

Chapter 6
The Interview

By lancellot

Warning: The author has noted that this contains the highest level of sexual content.

Act: 0
Interlude
Setting: It’s April 15, 2002. A young boy sits in a campus police interview room. An old police officer in his early sixties, who is close to retirement, is sitting next to him. He takes a notepad from his pocket and looks at the boy.
 
Officer: Tell me, son, why were you outside the Phi Delta Sigma sorority house?

Robby: If I say I was lost and looking for directions will you let me go?

Officer: I think we both know the answer to that.

Robby: Okay, you got me. I was peeping into the girls’ shower room.

Officer: And the camera?

The officer slides a small camera towards the boy. He shrugs his shoulders.

Robby: Well, I just wanted something to remember them by. I’m twelve, my memory ain’t so good.

Officer: Look, son, I know boys your age are curious but most have the good sense not to take on an entire sorority house. Can’t you find a girl your own age?

Robby: Lots, but why would I want a girl whose chest looks like mine?

Officer: I kind of see your point, kid, but still, you aren’t supposed to be interested in real women yet. What happened to you?

Robby: I...I think I got infected by an older woman, one of my big sister’s friends.

Officer: Wait a minute. Are you saying you were sexually assaulted and given an STD? We have to call your parents right away.

The officer starts to stand but Robby quickly places a hand on his arm.

Robby: No, no, no, I ain’t ever had sex. I don’t have an XTD; at least I don’t think so. Silvia never touched me like that.

Officer: What? Okay, slow down and tell me exactly what happened from the beginning.

Robby takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.

Robby: Pamela, that’s my sister, plays volleyball in high school. Every month or so she and some her teammates have a slumber party at our house. The last time was a few weeks ago and… well that’s when it happened.

Officer: When what happened?

Robby: Well, it was late and I was sleeping. I have my own bathroom. We all do. Anyway I got up to pee like I always do. I didn’t know. I swear I didn’t.

The Officer puts down his notepad and leans towards Robby.

Officer: Didn’t know what?

Robby: She was in my shower.

Officer: Who?

Robby: Silvia Myers, the captain of the team, and this year’s Homecoming Queen. Only, I didn’t know that at the time. I was so sleepy, I didn’t notice the lights were already on, and I didn’t hear the shower turn off.

Officer: You didn’t?

Robby: No, honest. When I opened the door, she was just stepping out.

Officer: Oh!

Robby: We saw each other and froze. I remember how blue her eyes were; like the ocean or a clear sky. Then it dropped, right out of her hand.

Officer: What?

Robby: Her towel. It just fell, like it wanted me to see. I wasn’t trying to. It was instinct. I bent down to pick it up and that’s when I noticed.

Officer: You noticed?

Robby: Her… her everything. She was all there, red toe nails, little feet, long smooth legs; it didn’t have any hair on it, just a thin little blonde strip above it. It was so… so perfect. It wasn’t tanned like the rest of her. It was pink, like her nipples, and they both sort of stuck out.

Officer: They stuck out?

Robby: Yes. I was lost in trying to understand it all. That’s when I heard it.

Officer: Heard it? Did she scream? 

Robby: No, she never did. For the first time in my life, I heard my own heart beating. I could hear it clear as day, like when you put your ear to someone’s chest. It pounded like a drum. It was so loud; I thought she heard it too, and found it funny.

Officer: Funny?

Robby: Yeah, cause’ she smiled. She just stood there grinning at me. Then she spoke.

Officer: What did she say?

Robby: She said, ‘Take it all in, little man. I can see it in your eyes. I can feel it, even from here. It’s in you, and it’s awake. The beast has you. You better tame it before it claims you.’ Then I turned around and ran back to bed. I wanted to cover my head and hide under the blankets but I couldn’t. I went to the edge and sat there. I couldn’t help it. I couldn’t turn away.

Robby (continues): She didn’t close the door. She just picked up her towel, turned to the mirror and started drying her hair. Even took the time to brush her teeth; with my toothbrush. She knew I was watching her, but she didn’t seem to mind at all. I think… she even liked it.

Officer: What did you do?

Robby: Nothing. I just sat there studying the way her body was different and the way it moved. She was perfect, like an angel come down to my room. I couldn’t believe it. Then the pain came. It felt like someone had reached into my stomach and tied it in knots. It was an agony that kept building and building. I must have moaned, because she finally turned.

Robby takes a deep breath.

Robby (continues): She wrapped the towel around her golden hair and then walked up to me. She stopped inches away from me. She was so close; I could feel the heat from her body and see the goose bumps rise on her skin. But more than that, I could smell something, something new, something sweet, something that made me feel… hungry.

Officer: Was it perfume?

Robby: No, it was something in the air, something that came from her. It was soaking into me. I could feel it. It was making things happen inside me. My hands started moving all on their own.  They wanted to touch her. They needed to feel her, but she was so perfect I couldn’t do it. By then I was hurting so bad that I think I moaned again. She reached out and took my hands in hers; they so warm and so soft. I wanted her to hold my whole body.  Then she leaned down and kissed me on the nose.  That’s when she said, ‘I’m sorry it hurts. It’s too soon, but don’t worry, one day some lucky girl will make it feel all better. And from what I can see she’ll be very lucky.’ Then she turned, and I saw her from the back. I passed out then.
When I woke up, she was gone.

Officer: Did she ever come back?

Robby: No. She didn’t have to, because I can’t get her out of my mind. Even when I was looking into the girls’ shower, I was hoping to see Silvia, or someone just like her. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn’t help it. She gave me something, and it’s alive. It keeps me up at night, haunts my dreams, and makes me do… things. I’m sick. Oh God, I’m a pervert at twelve.

Robby covers his faces in his hands and begins to cry. He cries and the Officer lets him.

Officer: Hey, that’s enough. Stop crying, you’re not sick, and you’re no more a pervert than I am.

Robby’s tears slow and he wipes his face.

Robby: But she said it was in me. I have it now. I know I do. I can feel it.

Officer: Yes, so can I, every day, even at my age, but it’s not an illness. True, I have never seen this begin in someone so young. You weren’t supposed to see or meet a woman like Silvia, not for many years yet, but I guess accidents happen.

He puts his hands on Robby’s shoulders and faces him.

Officer (continues): I’m going to help you, as a true master helped me when I was young. But you’re going to have to face some hard truths.  I’m sorry, but you’ll probably never settle down or marry, and it may be best if you don’t try. There is a beast in most people, but it is particularly powerful in you. Some women can see it.  This Silvia, probably because she has a strong beast of her own, recognized it in you, and woke it up early.

Robby: Can it go back to sleep?

Officer: No, it can be tired out for a while. You can live with it. You see, to the beast, chasing and lusting after women is a game. That makes you a Player, but you can win, if you learn the rules.

Robby: Rules?

The officer hands Robby his notepad and a pen.

Officer: Write these down, and never share them with any woman; even your mom. The rules can be in any order, that’s up to you. Rule number one: A true Player never breaks the rules. Rule number two: A player never takes what isn’t willingly offered to him. Rule number three: A Player never underestimates the power of his beast. Number four: Women are always smarter than you think. Number five: You’re going to hell, accept it, and…

Author Notes I thought it best to explain a bit about why Robby is the way he is. I didn't want him to be misunderstood.


Chapter 7
Great Sex Requires a Plan

By lancellot

Warning: The author has noted that this contains strong sexual content.

Act 2
Scene 1

Setting: Lights open once again on Frankie’s Bar. In an isolated booth in the far corner sits James and Ted. They are sipping beers and looking around.

Enter Robby

Robby walks in, sees two beautiful ladies at the bar and smiles at them. He starts to walk towards them.

James (shouting): Robby.

Robby sees James and Ted. He smiles and shrugs at the two ladies and then heads for the booth. He sits down next to Ted.

Ted: Don’t you ever get enough?

Robby: I don’t know the meaning of the word. It sounds French. A very repressed people, you know.

James waves his hand, silencing the two.

James: You were supposed to be here an hour ago, Robby. Where were you?

Robby: Sabrina stopped by on her way to work for a quickie.

James: Pam said Sabrina dumped you for her ex a week ago.

Robby leans back, puts his hands behind his head and smiles.

Robby: Yeah, she came to my place Friday night to ‘dump me’ in person. I knew what she really wanted. No woman comes to a man’s place in the middle of the night, all alone, dressed in tight jeans and a see-thru top unless she's hoping for sex. Break-up sex, goodbye sex, or reunited sex it doesn’t matter, it’s all part of the same game. I told her what she wanted to hear, so she wouldn’t feel guilty and she did the rest Rule number seventeen: Never fool yourself into thinking that you are talking a woman into anything. Their communication skills are better than ours'.

Ted: Why are you going on this trip again?

James: Never mind that. Pam and I are going out to dinner tonight, so I don’t have a lot of time.

Ted: So why didn’t you just call us? We have three-way.

James: Because from here on out we operate under my rules. None of you have gone on this type of trip before and there are certain steps that must be followed, and before I go any further.

He looks directly at Robby.

Robby: What?

James: We need… I need to know where your loyalties reside.

Robby: Oh come on, brother–in-law. Rule number twenty: Never get involved in another player’s game.

James: I’m not a Player. I love Pamela with all my heart, and I would do anything… anything to protect our marriage.

Robby: And you’ve been banging hookers in the sand for the last five years… because?

Ted looks at James and then at Robby.

Robby: Don’t look all surprised. Game recognizes Game. You don’t have to explain anything to me. I perfectly understand why you do it, and I know you love my sister. I know if you didn’t cheat once a year, you two wouldn’t still be married. Pam would never understand any of this, and I would never do anything to hurt her. If she is happy in her little world, then so be it.

Ted shrugs. James looks into Robby’s eyes and then nods.

James: I’m glad you follow rules because I have few more. First we never discuss this over the phone, in email or by text. There will be no record of our true purpose or our true destination.

Ted: Which is where exactly?

James: A private villa on the property of DR Nights.

Ted: Ooh, I went to their website.

James: I know you did. I saw it in your search history when we were over for dinner Thursday.

James holds up his hand.

James: I figured you’d do a search for information. Don’t worry. I deleted your history and wiped your browser. From now on use the inPrivate browser feature and a VPN. That way you won’t leave tracks.

Robby: Damn, who are you, James Bond.

James: What I am, is a man who never underestimates the intelligence or instincts of women. Speaking of intelligence; the women we are employing may be young and have sex for money, but that in no way means they are stupid. This trip is to be prepaid. All our food and entertainment are included. You are to bring no credit or debit cards and only two hundred dollars in cash. Leave your wallets at home and bring only your passports and the petty cash. Get a throw-away wallet if you wish. If you have a passport card, leave that at home too.

Ted: Why? They work for the Caribbean.

James: US Passport cards have an RTF chip inside, which can be used to track the cardholder’s movements.

Robby: Damn. No wonder it was only thirty dollars.

James: Pay attention. The wearing of condoms is mandatory, in all sexual acts. No bareback anything. We bring nothing back. Also, that means no photos. We all have pretty common first names so there’s no needs for aliases, but once off the plane, no last names are to be spoken. As far as anyone is concerned, we are staying at the Ritz Carlton in Porto Domingo, room 303. I’ve arranged for all our calls to be routed through their switchboard. And before you ask, yes we are actually purchasing the rooms.

Ted: Is DR Nights near there?

James: Close enough, our private three bedroom villa is a few miles away. It is totally secluded, with all the amenities: pool, Greek bath, king size beds, the works. Our six ladies will be waiting inside when we get there.

Robby grins and rubs his hands together.

Ted: Um… we don’t actually have to… um… do anything with them if—

James: No, they will be more than happy to cook dinner, serve drinks and give massages. If you want, they’ll just have polite conversation about island living. For them it’ll be a relaxing vacation.

Robby nudges Ted with his elbow.

Robby (whispering): Your girls can sleep with me if you want. I don’t mind.

James: Last points. I’ll need three thousand from both you by Wednesday, and it’s non-refundable.  The flight leaves Friday. Be at my house by five in the morning. I don’t think I have to say it but I will. What happens in the DR; stays in the DR.

James looks at his watch and then climbs out of the booth.

James: I’m late.  Goodnight, boys. I’ll see you Friday morning. Get plenty of sleep.

Exit James:

Ted sits with his hand on his chin and he stares out the window.

Robby: What’s eating you?

Ted: I was wondering. If the hookers are smarter than we think, then shouldn’t our wives be smarter than them?

Robby turns and smiles at the two ladies at the bar. He then turns back to Ted.

Robby: You see those two girls at the bar?

Ted looks at Robby and grins.

Ted: I’m married not blind. I saw them when they walked through the door.

Robby: We can go over there and take them home in ten minutes. At no time before they take off their clothes and make their mothers ashamed, will either of them ever look down at our hands or ask if we’re married. This is not because they are more or less intelligent than you or I. It is simply because like men, women see what they want to see. No more, no less. If Jen, thinks you’re cheating. She’ll look high and low until she finds the evidence ‘that you will’ leave behind. If she doesn’t want to imagine her hubby cheating, then a naked woman could walk out of your bedroom and she would scold the woman for entering the wrong house.

Ted: Is that another one of your rules?

Robby: Nope, that one predates me. Goodnight, Teddy. I think I’ll have a double tonight.

Robby gets up and walks over to the women at the bar. Ted shakes his head, gets up, and walks out.

Exit Ted

Chapter 8
A Shadow of Doubt

By lancellot

Act 2
Scene 2

Setting: A Starbucks in the city. Jennifer is sitting at a table with two hot coffee cups in front of her. She is looking from the door to her watch.

Enter Pamela

Pamela walks in, looks around, and then spots Jennifer. She waves and walks to the table.

Jen: Hey, girl, for a second I thought you weren’t coming.

Pamela takes a seat opposite her friend and sets down her purse.

Pam: Whatever. It’s crazy out there. I had to give this old lady the stink-eye for trying to take my parking spot.

Jen: Girl, you’re awful. You know you’re supposed to honor your elders.

Jen slides one of the cups to Pam and she takes a sip.

Pam: I do honor them, when they take the bus, or walk slowly on the sidewalk like old folk should. Grandma knows she can’t see and shouldn’t be driving.

Jen (in a low tone): I don’t blame them; independence is a hard thing to give up. We always remember who we were when we were young, and the desire to go back is hard to resist.

Pam sets her cup down on the table and stares at her best friend who has gone quiet.

Pam: I know that look. We aren’t talking about old people anymore are we?

Jennifer looks down at her coffee for a few seconds and then up at Pam.

Jen: They leave Friday on their fishing trip.

Pam: Hmm. Is this the first time Ted has gone on vacation without you?

Jen: Not counting business trips, it’s the first time since we’ve been married. He never seemed interested in going anywhere without me before. I just assumed… I don’t know.

Pam: Relax; James goes off on his fish killing expeditions every year. He always comes back happy, with pictures of dead fish. I’m just thankful they won’t let him take dead animals on the plane. I ain’t the gutting and cooking kind. Those scales would ruin my nails.

Pamela smiles at her friend, but Jennifer’s head is still down as she twirls a spoon in her cup.

Pam (continues): Jen, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s not like he’s going off to some fantasy island alone. James and my crazy brother will be with him.

Jennifer raises her head and smiles.

Jen: Yeah, I can imagine the three of them in a tiny fishing boat. I didn’t know Robby liked catching fish.

Pam: Girl, if it’s a single mermaid Robby will chase that fish-tail all night long, and even then he’ll only be half-interested.

Both girls laugh out loud.

Jen: How did you force that horny-dog to go?

Pam: I didn’t. He asked.

Jen’s smile slowly falls as she stares at her friend.

Jen: Robby asked to go on a fishing trip… with two men?

Pamela stares back at Jennifer and then slowly lowers her cup. She misses the edge of the table and the cup crashes to the floor. A waitress hurries over and cleans the mess as Pam apologizes.

Jen: I’m sorry, Pam. I didn’t mean to… to... say Robby wouldn’t want to—

Pam: Go fishing on a tropical island paradise in the middle of the Caribbean.

Jen: Wait a minute. Robby is a grown man; so what if he ditches James and Ted and runs off chasing girls. I’m sure the guys will have fun without him.

Pam: Yeah, it’s not like they would want to have fun with him. They’re happily married men, right? There’s nothing they haven’t got at home.

Both ladies lower their heads in silence.

Jen (in a low voice): Pam, what do you really know about the Dominican Republic?

Pam: Not much (picks up her purse), but that’s what the internet is for, and I’m not thirsty anymore. Are you?

Chapter 9
To Catch a Cheater

By lancellot

Act 2
Scene 3

Setting: Living room of Pamela and James’ house. It is early morning around 10am. All the window shades are drawn and the light is dim. Pamela is sitting on the sofa typing on a lap top.

The doorbell rings:

Pam (yells): It’s open.

Enter Jennifer

Jennifer walks in and closes the door behind her. She is carrying a large purse.

Pam: Girl, lock the door.

Jennifer turns and locks the door. She then quickly walks over and sits on the sofa next to her friend. She looks around the darkened room.

Jen: Okay, what’s the big emergency that I had to take a day off work? Do you have any idea how many meetings I had today? My Boss thinks I’m--

Pam: Did you bring Ted’s laptop?

Jennifer reaches into her purse and pulls out the computer.

Jen: Yeah, I got it, but what’s wrong with yours?

Pam: This isn’t mine. It’s James’ and there’s nothing wrong with it. It works fine, but that’s not the problem.

Jennifer hands her husband’s laptop to Pam. Pam opens it and turns it on.

Jen: Okay, so what’s the big deal? Did you find something?

Pamela types on the keyboard while staring at the screen.

Pam: There’s nothing on James’ laptop.

Jen: Good, that means he’s not—

Pam: No! I mean there is absolutely nothing on it. There’s no search history. No nude images, no emails. There is nothing. He’s had it for three years and there is nothing on it but pictures of fish. I can’t find any reservations. There is no Expedia account. I’ve seen him online for hours and yet… there is no trace of anything.

Jen: Well, that’s good, right?

Pamela slams Ted’s laptop on the coffee table next to James’ computer.

Jen: Easy! What’s wrong?

Pam: There’s nothing on this either. No new search history, just old web pages, but nothing from the last month. I think… I think James must have told him to erase everything.

Jen: Erase what? We know where they’re going, and Ted already gave me their itinerary. They’re staying at the Ritz Carlton, room 303. 

Pamela stands up and starts to pace. She is wringing her hands and staring off into nothing. Finally she stops and looks at Jennifer.

Pam: I know all that. James and Robby told me the same thing.

Jen: Well, that proves—

Pam: Nothing!

Pam sits back down.

Pam: I went to the bank this morning and told them James couldn’t see his account balance. Since I wasn’t trying to withdraw any money, they gave me a statement. He withdrew ten thousand dollars a few days ago and he got a little over three thousand from two deposits. I think they came from Robby and Ted.

Jen: It probably did. Ted said that James was handling everything, since he could get them a good deal.

Pamela stares into Jennifer’s eyes and then slowly picks up Ted’s laptop. She places it on Jen’s lap.

Pam:  Go to Expedia.com and enter round trip flights from here to the Dominica Republic with hotel for three adults at the Ritz Carlton on their dates.

Jennifer hesitates for a few seconds but then types on the keypad. After a few seconds her eyes and mouth opens wide. She looks at her friend with a shocked expression.

Jen: It’s under two thousand dollars. Then… then—

Pam: Where’s the other eight thousand going?

Jen: Maybe… maybe they’re renting a really big boat? You know, like a personal—

Pam: There is one other thing I found out about the Dominican Republic that’s different than the United States.

Jen: Do I want to know?

Pam: Prostitution is perfectly legal there. In fact, next to tourism, it’s the number two industry in the country. Some people say it’s the main reason tourism is number one. Do you want to know what number sports fishing is?

Jen: Not number three?

Pamela rolls her eyes and shakes her head.

Jen: But how do you know, Pam? How can you… how can we be sure? It’s not like I can just go up to Ted and accuse him of… dear God I can’t even say it. What do we do?

Pam: That’s why I took the day off. How bad do you really want to know? How far are you willing to go? I want to trust James. I do. He has always been a great husband and good man, but he is still a man.

Pamela stands up and looks down at Jennifer.

Pam: I will not sit back and be made a fool. I am a good woman too, but I do not share dick with anyone. If he is sticking his… no, my dick where it doesn’t belong then I will chop it off. I am not my mother, goddammit!

Jennifer stands up next to her friend and places her hands on Pam’s shoulders.

Jen: Before we go chopping off things that don’t grow back, we need to be sure. We need proof. I’m not throwing away my marriage based on an empty laptop and bad vacation spending.

Pamela looks down at the glowing laptop.

Pam: Then I have one question for you. How much does a flight and hotel room for two adults cost?

Chapter 10
The Chase Begins

By lancellot

Act 2
Scene 4

Setting: Airport bar. The guys are waiting for their flight. Ted, James, and Robby are seated at the bar. They have beers in front of them. Robby has two empty beer bottles in front of him and one half-filled bottle in his hand.

James: You may want to go easy on the drinks, Robby. These planes only have two tiny washrooms, and the line can be long.

Ted: He has a point, Robby, although you may be young enought to hold out for the next three hours.

Robby sets his bottle on the bar and points his finger at Ted.

Robby: One, Mr. I have a plan, always has a point and two, you’re dead wrong, Tonto, I can’t hold out for another three minutes. I’ll be back, and don’t drink my beer.

Robby stands up slowly and carefully walks towards the washroom sign.

Exit Robby

Ted turns and faces James.

Ted: Well, I’m glad to see you’re coming out of your walking coma. You’ve been quiet since we left the house. What’s eating you? Did you forget something?

James takes a deep breath, sets his mostly full bottle on the table and starts peeling off the label.

James: It’s Pam; she’s been acting weird the last few days. Plus, we had sex last night and then again this morning before you guys showed up. She kept looking at me, staring into my eyes like… I don’t know… like she was trying to see into me.

Ted slaps his hand on James’ shoulder.

Ted: That ain’t weird, Kemosabe. That’s what we western-folk call goodbye sex. I take it, it’s been awhile.

James: Yes and no. A few weeks ago, she surprised me after I came home and we had a really good time. Up until last night she kind of went back to her normal self. For a while I thought she had the flu or something, but she seemed fine last night and this morning. I don’t know. Could be I’m just tired.

Ted: Maybe, or perhaps you’re having second thoughts. Jen and I had a good night too, and I’ll be honest with you. I’m going with you guys, but I’ve decided not to cross the line with the girls.

James looks up at friend and a grin spreads across his face.

Ted: Hey, smile all you want. I’m serious. I know me.  I can’t screw around and then come back and look Jen in the face without confessing everything.

James stops smiling and sits up.

James: What do you mean everything?

Ted: Relax, I mean what I do. I’m not married to you or Robo-dick in the can.

James slumps back on his stool and looks at his watch.

James: Good, I would hate to leave you in the airport.

Ted stares at his buddy.

Ted: Sometimes, I don’t get you. We’ve been friends now for what… since high school?

James: Actually, we met the summer before our freshman year. So what?

Ted: So. It’s obviously you love Pam, and I know from Jen that she loves you.  What I don’t get is why this? How did you two get to the point where you’re married in public, but roommates in the bedroom?  You’re the smartest guy I know; always have been, and your solution is banging hookers on the beach; why?

James pushes his bottle away and turns towards Ted.

Enter Robby

Robby hurries over to the bar.

Robby: Hey, why are you guys just sitting there? Don’t you hear it?

Both men turn to Robby in silence.

Loud Speaker: Now boarding group three for flight 715 to Santo Domingo. If you have carryon that you would like to check, please see the attendant. This is a full flight and overhead space is...

James: We’d better get going. We’re group four.

The men pay their tabs and walk towards the gate sign.

Robby: How small are the plane’s washrooms? Can they fit two adults?

James: No.

Robby: How about one horny man and a midget.  I saw a pint-size stewardess walking towards our gate. I liked the way her little butt moved in those tiny heels.

Ted: Oh God, three hours is too long.

Exit James
Exit Ted

(Lights return)

A spotlight focuses on a small corner booth in the bar. Two redheaded women wearing dark sunglasses are seated.

Pam: I told you they wouldn’t notice us in these wigs.

Jen: Fine, but it still itches. What group are we in?

Pam: None, we’re first class.

Jen: What! First class is a thousand dollars a ticket.

Pam: Suck it up. It was the only way we can get on after them and get off before them.

Jen: Ugh! Could you at least hear what they were saying?

Pam: No, but James looked worried.

Jen: You don’t look so good yourself, Lucy.

Pam: Whatever, Wilma. Let’s give them another minute and then get onboard.

Chapter 11
Journey to Paradise?

By lancellot

Act 3
Scene 1
 
Setting: Lights open on the back rows of First Class seating on the plane. Jen and Pam are still wearing their red wigs and sunglasses. They are seated next to each other.  Jen is looking out the window and Pam keeps turning around and trying look behind them.

Flight Attendant (speakers): The Captain has turned off the seatbelt restrictions.  Passengers are now free to move about the cabin. Please use caution in opening the overhead bins as items may have shifted during takeoff.

Jen unfastens her seatbelt and reclines her seat. She smiles as the chair stretches  out. Pam unhooks her seatbelt and begins to get up. Jen places a hand on her arm.

Jen: No. He’s not going anywhere and if you let him see you enough times, he’ll figure out it’s you. Sit down and relax.

Pam: Crap, my own mother wouldn’t recognize me in this hair hat.

Pam adjusts her wig and removes her shades.

Jen: You two have been together for sixteen years. He knows the way you walk, the way you smell, and shape of your body. He’s not blind and he’s not stupid. He’ll notice you in the dark. Hell, he can probably feel you on the plane. I think I can feel Ted.

Pam turns and faces her friend.

Pam: Oh you can. Then how does he feel right now?

Jen: He’s wishing he could stretch his long legs out like this.

She extends her legs and wiggles her toes that still don’t reach the seat in front of her.

Jen (continues): I love first class by the way. I don’t know why I don’t always fly like this.

Pam: Because if you did you wouldn’t be able to pay your mortgage.

Jen: Are you going to be Miss Grumpy the entire flight? You’re acting weirder than normal, and I know when you’re hiding something. You may as well spit it out. I have a pretty good idea what it is already.

Jen sits up and stares at Pam; who stares right back. Finally Pam sighs and lowers her head.

Pam: I didn’t plan it. I mean… the whole thing a few weeks ago… just happened. We hadn’t had sex in so long, I just stopped taking them. I figured if we were going to do it, I would just put in my diaphragm.

Jen shakes her head and places her hand on Pam’s hand.

Jen: Wait a minute. I thought you just… you know… gave him a hand-job? You told me he exploded in less than a –

Pam: He did, but we took a shower together, and we… it just happened. I didn’t think. I didn’t want to stop it. It had been so long, and he was so happy. I was so happy… I couldn’t think straight. When he got behind me and slipped inside. I…I just--

Jen: Are you sure? Did you take a--

Pen: No, but I’m late, and I’m never this late. Also, I’ve been feeling off and nauseous.  I mean it could be the flu or –

Old lady in front: No baby; you’re pregnant.

The girls look forward at the face of an older woman leaning around her seat. She smiles at them.

Old Lady: I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but you sounded so sad and unsure. I’ve had nine children and fourteen grandchildren. I could tell you were with child the moment I saw your face, even with the bad wig and sunglasses. Red is not your color. Her maybe, but your skin is too dark.

Pam: Um… we kind of bought them in a hurry.

Old Lady: I understand. I once followed my first husband while he was on police patrol for a week.  I thought he was sticking it to his new female partner.

Pam: Oh…we’re not—

Jen: Did you catch him?

Old Lady: Not exactly. It turned out he wasn’t sleeping with her. He was screwing almost every other woman he met though. Who knew players had rules?  I tell you, men are a trip, but they will only do what you let them get away with. It’s sad I couldn’t resist a player, even after the divorce.

She reaches back and puts a hand on Pam’s knee.

Old Lady: Sometimes it’s best to not wait on them. Go on back there and talk to him while you can think straight and he can’t run. I promise, neither of you will be in your right mind if you catch him in the arms of a naked woman. That’s when really bad things happen.

The woman turns around and is gone. Pam and Jen sit in silence, watching the clouds pass by their window.

Pam: Enough of this. I’m a grown ass woman, not a sneaky little child.

Pam pulls off her wig and stands up. Jen reaches out to her but she is too late. Pam walks down the aisle towards coach.

Jen: No pam! Not before the first class meal. Pam! Damn, shit just got real.

Exit Pam

Fade to Black.

Setting: Airplane to the DR. Pam is attempting to walk down the aisle. Two flight attendants with a serving cart are blocking her progress. The airplane begins to shake.

Flight Attendant #4 (overhead speaker): Attention passengers we are experiencing some mild turbulence. For your safety the captain has turned on the seatbelt signs. All passengers must return to their seat immediately.

The plane shakes again and the lights flicker. Pam holds onto a seat for balance.

Flight Attendant # 1(to Pam): I’m sorry, Ma’am but you must return to your seat.

Pam: But my husband is in coach and I need to—

The plane shakes again.

FA # 1: Please return to your seat. Now!

Pam and the Flight Attendant stare at each other. The second Flight Attendant slides around the cart, and then stands behind the first.  Pam lowers her eyes and then walks back to first class.

Jen: Back so soon?

Pam sits down and buckles herself in.

Pam: Damn, pilot can’t fly straight. I didn’t get a chance to reach the guys.

Jen: It may be God’s way of telling you to stick to the plan. If they really are just going fishing, you’re about throw a huge monkey-wrench into your marriage, just when you’re going to need his trust the most.

Pam looks at her friend.

Pam: What do you mean?

Jen: I’m just saying, mama’s baby; daddy’s maybe.

Pam: Ha, I would never cheat on James.

Jen: Cheating is just one form of deceit, and here we are: lying, sneaking, spying, wearing disguises and you got yourself pregnant too.

Pam: I didn’t do it on purpose.

Jen: I know that, but when you add up everything we’re doing. Will James believe it?

Pam and Jen face forward in silence.

Fade to black and Curtain closes
Curtain opens and Light brighten

Setting:  Coach section, near the back of the plane. James and Ted are seated in the middle row. The third seat next to them is empty.

James is looking up and down the aisle.

Ted: What are looking for?

James: Oh, nothing. I just thought I heard… never mind. I’m just jumpy. Where is Robby? He should be in his seat.

Ted: I’m sure he has a seat. I saw him in line for the John.

James: I saw that tiny stewardess too, and I think she winked at him.

Ted: The man has a gift, that’s for sure. Don’t tell him this, but I used to worry he would hit on Jen; you know with her and Pam being friends and all.
But I don’t think he ever has. I’m kind of surprised.

James: Don’t be. Robby lives by a strict set of rules, and I guess not touching your sister’s best friend is one of them.

Ted: Still, why doesn’t he just find one girl and settle down? What’s the point of always chasing? What’s he trying to prove?

James: It’s not that simple. Life is about motion and change. When you settle down, things tend to stop. They get routine.  You start to wonder, ‘what am I missing?’ You… you don’t feel free anymore. You become dependent. There is no more excitement.

Ted: Sure there is. You just have to make it.

James: Really? Do you remember the first time you walked into Jennifer’s bedroom? Do you remember the first time she kissed you? How about the first time you saw her naked, or the first time you were inside her?

Ted: Yeah, I remember.

James: Me too, and it was so long ago. Those feelings… you can never have them again with your wife. The butterflies are all gone. The mystery and wonders are all known. Now, you know just what not to say. You know when she’s not in the mood, and you know when she’s just letting you do her, so you’ll stop begging and go to sleep. Now, you prefer to have sex from the back, not because you like the view of her expanding ass, but because you can’t bear to see the boredom and pity in her eyes as she waits for you to finish. And when you’re done, your heart sinks as she rushes to the bathroom to flush you out.  You lay in silence listening to her hurry to rinse her mouth out, as if the taste of you is acid on her tongue. There is no smile on her face when she comes back to bed. No lying on your chest. No sweet afterglow cuddle. She just wraps herself up on her side of the bed and turns away.

Ted: Or you can just do it in the dark like normal couples.

Both men laugh as the plane shakes.

Fade to black and curtains close
Curtains open and lights brighten.

Setting: Rear of the plane, just outside the lavatory. A small Asian female flight attendant is knocking on the restroom door.

FA #3: Sir… sir… are you alright in there? Sir…

The door opens and Robby is standing in only his boxers. There is a large bulge pointing out. He looks down at the flight attendant.

Robby: Well hello… Li Sung. What seems to be the problem?

The flight attendant, whose nametag reads Li Sung, stares in silence with her mouth open.

Li Sung: I…um… the captain needs everyone to be seated.

Robby: Is that so? Well there is a seat in here for me, and I have a nice one for you as well.

Li Sung shakes her head and laughs. She tilts her head to look around him.

Li Sung: Ah… that’s a pretty small space. It’ll probably be really tight in there.

Robby: Funny, I was just thinking the same thing.

A look of shock and then a devious smile forms on Li Sung’s face.

Li Sung (her voice lower): Most men never realize that.

Robby: I’m not most men. It would be a shame to waste all these lovely vibrations.

Robby extends out his hand. Li Sung looks down the aisle and then reaches up and takes Robby’s hand. She is pulled into the lavatory. The sign on the door switches to occupied. The plane shudders again, and the sound of giggling is heard.

Chapter 13
Touchdown

By lancellot

Act 3
Scene 3

Setting: The airplane has landed in the Dominican Republic and has reached the Gate. Pam and Jen are still seated in Frist class. They are looking out the window at the bright sunlight and palm trees.

Flight Attendant (loud speaker): The Captain has turned off the seatbelt signs. On behalf of the flight crew, I thank you for flying with us and please have a wonderful stay in paradise. Oh, our newest Flight Attendant, Li Sung would like to give a special thanks to a young man who kept her steady during a bumpy ride. She is still smiling about his good deed.

Pam: Well, we’re here. Let’s hurry and take a cab to the resort. I want to check-in before the guys get there. Then we can decide what we’re going to do.

Jen: And get something to eat. That meal was terrible. For a thousand dollars they at least could have cooked the steak all the way through. I hope the Ritz-Carlton has a decent restaurant.

The old lady turns in her seat and faces Jen and Pam, as passengers begin to stand.

Old Lady: Oh, you’re staying at the Ritz too.  

Pam and Jen stand. They first look at each other and then at the smiling old lady.

Old Lady: I’m blind as a bat, that’s why they don’t let me drive any more, fortunately I can hear like the flying rats too. My name is Martha, and I already heard your names. You two don’t want to be seen by your fellas, so why don’t you ride with me? My driver should be outside.

Pam: Well, we really--

Jen: Okay. Do you need help with your bags?

Old Lady: Thank you, Jennifer, but all I have is my purse. It’s almost the size of a suitcase now. I swear as I get older, it gets bigger, or maybe I’m just shrinking.

Pam: You don’t have any luggage?

Old Lady: Oh, no need. I have my own condo at the Ritz, and all the clothes I need. Not that I wear much, with all the studs around. At my age, I don’t want to waste valuable lovin’ time taking off clothes.

Pam: Um… okay. Lead the way, Martha.

Pam and Jen both put on their wigs and sunglasses. They follow Martha out through the door.

Exit Pam, Jen, and Martha
Fade to black  

Lights brighten

Setting: Outside the airport at a Taxi stand, James, Ted, Robby wait for the next car to pull up. The sun is high and the guys are sweating.

Ted: Damn, it’s hot. I think we should’ve changed into shorts and T-shirts before we boarded.

James: Yeah, I forgot about that.  It should be cooler by the coast, and hopefully the cab will have A/C.

Robby: We don’t have to check into the hotel, do we?  It’s not like we’re actually staying there. I say we head to the villa. I’m all sticky from all that…um… bouncing around and stuff. I need a shower and maybe a nap before the fun begins.

A taxi pulls up. The trunk opens and the guys load their suitcases.

Ted: What do you mean, nap? Why are you all tired out?

Robby grins and looks back at the airport as Ted and James enter the taxi.

Robby (whispers): I think I’ll have to fly these friendly skies again. Who knew little women were so… energetic?

Robby enters the taxi and closes the door.

Robby: Do you think the girls will be there?

James: No; they’re supposed to come as a group tonight.

Ted: I think I’ll take a quick shower too, and then call Jen.

James: What?

Robby: He’s right. It would look weird if he doesn’t call to tell her we’ve landed. You should call too.

James sighs but nods.

Taxi driver: Where to, gentlemen?

James: Take us to 132 Vista Drive. We have the white villa at the end of the street, unit 5A.

Taxi driver: Yes, sir.

Car pulls off.

Palace of a goddess

By lancellot

Act 3
Scene 4

Setting: Lobby of the Ritz-Carlton. Pam and Jen are standing in front of the Reception desk trying to check into their rooms. Martha is behind them speaking with other workers.

Manager: I am sorry, Mrs. O’Bannon.  I do not see a reservation for a Pamela O’Bannon. There is one for James O’Bannon and two adults. It is a full size suite with three separate rooms and can easily hold five. I can add you with no char—

Pam (angry): I don’t want my husband’s room. I want the one I reserved.

The manager is typing on his computer and shaking his head in frustration.

Manager: I… I just don’t see anything under your name. Perhaps… yes, maybe your reservation is under your confirmation code. Can I have your number, please?

Pam: I don’t have a confirmation code.

The manager stops typing and looks up at Pam.

Manager: That’s not possible. You would have received your code immediately after we received your payment.

Pam: I didn’t pay yet. I just made a reservation to hold our room. I didn’t know if I was going to actually come or not at the time.

Manager: Oh, I see. Did you read our resort policy when you made your reservation?

Pam takes a step back, looks at Jen and then looks down at her shoes. Her face turns red as she hesitates.

Pam: I… um… I may have missed that at the time.

Manager: That is… most… unfortunate.

He lays Pam’s passport and credit card on the desk and slides them towards her.

Pam: Okay, no problem. I’ll take any room; whatever empty one you have.

Manager: I’m sorry, ma’am, but that is a problem. We currently do not have any vacancies for the entire weekend. Unless you want to stay with your—

Pam: NO!  And my husband is not to know I am here. I will trust in your discretion. I would hate having to leave a negative review on Expedia.

Pam snatches her card and passport. She turns to a sour faced Jen.

Jen: So, no reservation and no vacancy. I don’t suppose you’re willing to—

Pam makes an angry face and balls her hand into a fist.

Jen: Never mind. Maybe we can take a taxi into town and find a cheap motel?

Martha turns away from the resort staff and walks up to the girls.

Martha: You could do that. I’m sure there are a few cheap motels in town. I hear the roaches aren’t too big, and they’re mostly safe. Or you could stay in my suite. I have enough room for a whole baseball team. I know I’ve tried it once.

Pam and Jen look at each other and shrug.

Martha smiles at them.

Martha: Wonderful. Follow me. I have my own elevator. It helps in avoiding… indiscretions.

Pam and Jen look at each other again but say nothing as they follow the odd woman to a pair of elevator doors that opens for them.

Exit Martha, Pam and Jen.
Fade to black.
 
Setting: Lights open to a large living room with a full window wall facing the ocean. Doors lead off at the sides. Leather seats and sofas are in spread out. There is a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace.

Elevator doors open and the ladies walk directly into the spacious room. Martha walks to the center of the room; with a big smile as she extends her arms. The ladies stand in awe with their mouths and eyes open wide.

Jen: Wow! This is your home?

Martha tilts her head to the side.

Martha: Well, this is one of my small condos. I don’t think of it as a home. It’s more of a… playpen.  But, that’s not important. Come, come; mi casa es su casa. The guest bedrooms are on your right. There’s one for each of you, and they come complete with full baths, stocked with everything a woman needs to satisfy… all her... personal aches.

Martha winks and smiles at them.

Martha (continues): I suggest first we eat and then refresh ourselves.

Pam: Eat?

Martha: Oh, didn’t I tell you. While you were arguing with Jacob, I took the liberty of ordering lunch. The staff will bring it up in a minute. That way we can eat and shower before they bring in the tables.

Jen: Tables? You mean card tables?

Martha: Dear heavens no. Cards are boring, unless it’s strip poker. Ah, that reminds me of the time. Oh, never mind.  I meant massage tables. The Ritz has the finest spa and masseuse team on the island. I simply cannot do anything before having these old muscles stretched out. And since you’re my guests, I insist that you enjoy the pleasures as well.

Just then the elevator doors open and three female staff enter pushing food carts covered with edible delights. Martha walks over to window and presses a button on the wall. The entire window rises up and the servants wheel their cart out to a table on the balcony.

Jennifer smiles at Pamela.

Jen: When in Rome.

Pam: Live like a goddess.

Martha: Hell yes!

The three ladies walk out onto the balcony.

Chapter 15
I Like Big Butts...

By lancellot

Act 4
Scene 1

Setting: The living room of their large villa. Sunlight streams through several windows and the backyard pool can be seen through the sliding glass doors leading outside. The living room is an open floor plan that leads to the kitchen and doorways.

Enter: James, Ted, Robby

James: Well, gentlemen I say we grab something to eat and take a quick shower. Ted, use your cell phone to call Jen, not the house phone.

Ted: I left a voice message and told them both we're here. They didn’t respond, but I guess they’re hard at work.

James: Good. Let’s unpack and clean up before the girls get here.

Robby: Um… that plan isn’t going to work.

James: Why not?

Robby points his finger towards the clear glass patio doors.

Robby: Because there are four bikini models in the pool smiling at us.

James and Ted turn to face the pool with Robby. They stare in silence at four ladies who have bodies to die for.

Ted: Dear Lord, give me strength.

Robby: Oh, no. The Lord ain’t got no business here.

Robby extends his hand and motions the girls to come in.

Ted: What are you doing?

Robby: Hey, my dick is long but it ain’t that long. It’s time for a close encounter of the freaky kind.

James puts his hand on Ted’s trembling shoulder.

James: Steady, it’s okay, Ted. You don’t have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with.

The men fall silent as four wet young women in different color bikinis walk in. One woman dressed in a blue bikini leads the other women to stand in front of the guys.

Rosa: My name is Rosa. I speak English. Who is Jim?

James: I’m James. It’s nice to meet you, Rosa.

James extends his hand. Rosa looks at it, and pushes it aside. She steps up to James and kisses him on the lips.

Rosa: No, my lord. We are not your equals. This weekend you are royalty and we are here to serve you.

Rosa points to the other girls.

Rosa (continues): May I present your other willing servants:  Carla, Maria and Isabella.

The second girl, Carla steps forward and kisses James on the lips. She then moves over to kiss Ted, who turns his cheek to her.

Rosa: Oh, my lord is a little bit shy?

The girls giggle. Ted’s face turns scarlet red.

Maria steps forward to kiss Robby.

Robby holds the kiss for several seconds, then kisses Isabella, then Carla, and finally he grabs Rosa by the waist spins her around, kisses her passionately while sliding his hand under her blue bikini bottoms. While still holding Rosa, he reaches out with one hand and squeezes one of Carla’s breasts.

James: Wait, before things get started. Robby, if you don’t mind.

Robby releases Rosa and winks at Maria, who winks back.

James (to Rosa): First, you’re all very lovely girls, but to be honest, you look kind of young. How old are you?

Rosa: I’m twenty-two, my lord.

James nods his head and turns to Carla.

James: And how old are you?

Carla looks at Rosa

Rosa: Cuántos años tienes?

Carla: Eighteen

He smiles at her and then points at Maria.

Maria: Eighteen.

James looks at Isabella.

James: And what is your name again?

Isabella: Eighteen

James sighs. Ted shakes his head, and Robby laughs.

Ted: Well, at least they know one word of English.

Robby: Thank God it’s the right word.

Rosa: They speak very little English.  I will speak for them.

James: Okay, Rosa. Where are the other two girls? There’s supposed to be six of you.

Rosa: Oh, we are the four twenty-four hour girls. Other two come only at night.

James frowns.

Robby: That’s perfectly fine; then I have two important questions. Where are the showers, and who gets two?

Rosa: My lord’s wish is my command.

Rosa claps her hands, turns to the other girls and quickly speaks in Spanish with a heavy Dominican accent. The three ladies turn away and disappear down a hallway.

Exit Carla, Maria and Isabella

Rosa steps back and looks over the three men who are standing with confused expressions.

Rosa: Begging my lords pardon but you are all stinky. Take off your clothes.

James: Look, Rosa, I give the—

Rosa: Please.

Rosa smiles at James, steps up to him and kisses him on the lips. Still smiling she begins pulling down his pants.  He resists for a moment but then complies.

Ted slowly begins to disrobe. Robby is already naked and bouncing up and down while grinning.

Rosa steps back and surveys the three naked men. She smiles at James who stands tall and proud. She frowns at Ted, who is covering his privates with his hands. She raises one eye brow and grins as she looks at Robby, who stands with his hands on his hips while something large points at Rosa.

Rosa (to Robby): My lord is ready.

Robby: Always. We showed you ours, now you show us yours.

Rosa smiles at them. She reaches behind her back, and then pulls off her top. Her small but firm breasts seem to leap at the men. Still smiling, she spins around, reaches down and pulls the strings at her hips. Her bikini bottom falls to the floor.

Robby: I...I just want to cry.

Ted: Oh… my… God!

James: Not God, but clearly blessed by His hand.

Rosa: Follow me, my lords.

Robby: Gladly, and please feel free to bend over and pick up any small objects along the way.

Rosa laughs, turns, and walks toward the same hallway the girls went down.

Rosa: I promise to... drop the soap, many times for my lord, if he promises to be gentle.

Robby: No promises.

The men obediently follow Rosa’s perfect naked form into darkness.

Exit: cast

Chapter 16
What's good for the goose...

By lancellot

Act 4
Scene 2

Setting: Martha’s penthouse condo at the Ritz-Carlton Spa and Resort in the Dominican Republic. The ladies have eaten lunch and retired to their rooms for a shower.

Lights brighten on the living room. In the middle of the floor next to the view of the ocean are three massage tables. Standing next to each table is a young, handsome man, dressed in short white pants and a white polo shirt with the words, Ritz Spa Team on the left breast. Three bedroom doors open.

Enter Pam, Jen, and Martha.

Pam and Jen are wearing only white fluffy robes. Martha is dressed in a long silver silk robe that matches her silver hair.

Pam: Oh my!

Jen: They’re men… why are they men?

Martha smiles and walks up to the three male masseurs. She runs her hand over each of their muscular arms.

Martha: Why, what else would they be, my dear? Women are nice, but they lack what it takes to relieve my stress. These gentlemen are three of my very favorites. Their hands are simply to die for.  I promise whatever troubles you have will be forgotten. Hell, you may even forget your own names.

Martha (whispers): Or that you’re married.

Jen reaches into the pocket of her robe and pulls out her IPhone. She looks down at the screen and then over at Pam.

Jen: I just got a voice mail from Ted. I'll play it.

Ted’s voice (speaks to the audience): Hi babe, we’re here and are going to clean up and eat before getting into trouble. Ha Ha, wish you were here. Tell Pam, James says Hi. We miss you both. Love Ted.

Pam: They’re probably here already. What are we going to do?

Martha: Well, I suggest you relax before you rush into things. It sounds like your guys are showering and eating. That means you have some time to decide things. While you’re waiting, you may as well let my friends here earn their pay.

Pam looks over at Jen. Jen smiles at Pam and nods her head. Pam giggles and they both walk to a table.

Jen (to Martha): Oh! I didn’t put on any underwear.

Martha: Why would you need to?

Martha pulls the strap on her robe and lets it fall to the floor. She stands naked before them and smiles. Her body is older but still slim and attractive. She sits on one of the tables and lies on her stomach. One Masseur stands over her and pours oil over her back.

Pam and Jen turn towards each other. Jen shrugs and pulls the belt on her robe. It falls off her shoulders, revealing her nude body. She looks at the masseur standing in front of her.

Jen: I’m all yours.

The masseur extends his hand and Jen takes it. He guides her to the third table and she lies down.

Pam: What’s good for the goose--

Martha: Is good for everyone.

Pam drops her robe and quickly lays her naked body on the middle table. A masseur stands next to her and pours oil onto her back. His hands spread oil over her skin and she sighs.

Pam: Oh… that feels so good.

Jen: It sure does.

Martha: Silence, ladies, let the boys show you why they’re the best. Hit it boys, and hold nothing back.

Soft sensual music suddenly fills the air. The curtains on the windows close and the lights dim.

Pam: Ooh!

Jen: God!

Martha: Yeah, they really get in there.

Act 4
Scene 3

Setting: Lights brighten to a room with a huge in-ground pool. Steam is rising from the water and filling the air. Carla, Maria and Isabella are standing waist-deep and completely naked in the water.  Small wooden baskets filled with soap, shampoo and sponges are floating next to each smiling woman.

Enter Rosa, Ted, James, and Robby.

Upon entering the three men stop shoulder to shoulder at the door and stare at the scene in amazement.

Rosa leaves the men and walks to the edge of the pool. She extends her arms and bows to them.

Rosa: Please, my lords, enter and be at peace. You may have the servant of your choice.

Robby: Dibs.

Robby walks up to Rosa, kisses her on the lips and then leans towards her ear.

Robby (whispers): Come join me when you’re done.

Rosa smiles and steps away from the pool as Robby enters and heads directly to Isabella.

James steps into the water and moves to back where Maria awaits him with open arms.

Ted walks to the edge of the water and stares down at Carla.

Rosa walks up to Ted and lets her hand glide down his back.

Rosa: It’s okay. We are here to do only what you want. Carla will clean your body and do no more than you ask of her. If you prefer someone else, I can take—

Ted: No, she’s fine. I’m just…

Ted exhales and then slowly enters the pool. Carla slides up to him with a sponge in her hand and begins to wash his body.

Rosa walks over to a wall, and taps on a keypad. The lights in the room dim and music fills the air. She walks back to the water and steps in. Robby extends his arm to her.  She glides over to him and snuggles into his body.

Robby (whispers): Are you ladies--?

Rosa (whispers): Tested, protected, and very willing. It’s all part of the package, my lord. My mistress insisted you get only the best.

Ted: Hey, James?

James is leaning back against the side of the pool. His legs are spread out and floating on the surface of the water.  Maria is standing between his legs and rinsing soap off them.

James: Yeah, buddy.

Ted: What do you think the girls are doing right now?

James frowns and bends his legs around Maria. She giggles as she is pulled into him.

James: Right now, I’m pretty sure I don’t give a damn and neither should you.

Ted: I know; it’s just that… I have this funny feeling that everything is about to change. I feel like she’s really happy right now, and I feel…

James stands in front of Maria. She places her arms around his neck and kisses him on the lips. He grabs both her tiny hands and slides them under the water in front of him. Maria moves closer and presses her head against his chest.

James: That’s just your guilt talking. It’s trying to give you a reason to enjoy yourself. You should listen to it.

Ted places one of his hands on the side Carla’s face and stares into her brown eyes.

Ted: I love my wife.

Robby (yells): And you’re going to love her in the morning too. Now shut up and get laid before I take your woman.

Rosa untangles herself from Robby and Isabella and walks towards Ted. Her smile and grace as she moves through the waist deep water causes all three men to pause and stare.

Rosa: My lord, we offer nothing that dishonors your love. What you and your wife share come from your hearts and your souls,( she reaches below the water) not from six…

Ted: Seven!

Rosa: Six-and-a-half… inches of flesh. Sex and love are two completely different things. My boyfriend loves me, as do my parents.

Ted: They know about…this?

Rosa: Yes, and they love me for my heart and soul, not my body. Can we take your love away?

Carla reaches forwards and strokes six and half inches of Ted, while Rosa nibbles on his ear.

Rosa (whispers): Do it.

Ted: Jen, please forgive me.

Ted slides his hands around Carla’s small waist and lifts her up. She wraps her strong legs around him as she slowly slides down his body. Her hips dip below the water and they both sigh. They wrap their arms around each other.

Carla: Es tan bueno , mi señor

Ted: Si, si, whatever you say. Oh God!

James: It’s about time.

James places his hands on Maria’s shoulders. She smiles up at him.

Maria: Me chupan, mi señor ?

James shrugs and then nods. Maria’s head slowly descends below the water’s surface. Her dark hair floats above next James’ stomach. A huge smile forms on his face.

James: It’s good to be the king.

Rosa briefly looks up at the clock on the wall and then glides back to Robby’s side. She leans forward and whispers into his ear.

Act 4
Scene 4

Setting: Lights brighten on the living room of Martha’s Condo. The window curtains are open and the sun is lower in the sky. Three massage tables are still next the patio doors. Jen is naked and sitting on the edge of her table. The masseurs and Martha are gone.  Jen is looking over at a sleeping Pam, who is just beginning to awaken.

Pam is lying on her side and her eyes slowly open. She turns her head, sees Jen looking at her and then sits up. She looks down at her naked body and then back to Jen.

Pam: It’s so warm in here; I didn’t notice I wasn’t covered. Where is everyone?

Jen: Martha is resting  in her room and the guys are gone.

Pam yawns and stretches out her arms. She smiles at Jen.

Pam: I feel so relaxed. I had the craziest dream. I was getting… (She giggles and covers mouth) I was getting a happy ending and--

Jen: And you came twice; once by hand and once by tongue.

Pam: Yeah, how did you…

Pam’s smile falls and she quickly looks down between her legs.

Jen: That’s right, Sleeping Beauty, it wasn’t a dream. The same thing happened to me, only I didn’t faint after the first orgasm like you did.

Pam buries her face in her hands, and shakes her head. Tears begin to roll down her cheeks.

Pam: God, no. Did we? Did I have… sex?

Jen snorts and slides off her table. She picks up their robes and tosses Pam hers.

Jen: Please, you’re not going to do that Bill Clinton, what’s your definition of sex thing are you?

Both ladies slip on their robes. Pam dries her eyes on her sleeve.

Pam: You know what I mean.

Jen: No; as far as I know your guy never slipped anything more than a finger in you. I don’t think he was allowed to without your permission.

Pam: My guy? You mean, you--

Jen sighs and nods her head.

Jen: Things got pretty wild after you passed out. Martha assured me, that the guys are fixed and clean; so we have nothing worry about.

Pam leans back on her table.

Pam: Damn, we came to catch the guys cheating and ended up screwing around the first time our panties dropped. I feel so… so--

Martha: Satisfied?

The girls look over to see Martha standing in the doorway fully dressed with her large purse on her shoulder.

Martha (continues):  Good, and stop looking all guilty. You didn’t do anything your husbands aren’t doing at this very moment.

Pam (yells): What did you make us do?

Martha: Make you? It wasn’t me who spread my legs wide open. Wait…yes I did, but I didn’t spread yours. You did that all by yourself. If you don’t believe me, ask Jennifer. She’ll tell you; that is… if you insist on pretending you slept through it all.

Pam lowers her head. Jen walks over and wraps her arm around Pam’s shoulders.

Martha looks down at her watch and then walks over to the girls.

Martha: It’s getting late, and you two ladies have an appointment to keep.

Martha reaches into her purse and pulls out two sets of bikinis. She also gives a hat and a shawl to Pam and dark shades to Jen.

Martha (continues): Here put these on. There are heels for you both at the elevator.

Pam and Jen take the tiny outfits and look questioningly at Martha.

Pam: Where are we supposed to be going dressed in these?

Martha: To a pool party of course.

Martha sets down her purse and wedges her small frame in between Pam and Jen. She pats them both on the knee.

Martha: I know you both feel as if you’ve betrayed your husbands. I’ve been there.  Let me tell you what most people don’t know. There is a big difference between love and sex. Love is a gift and a special bond between people; you both have that with your men and no one can break that. Sex is also a gift, but it is made to be shared. It was never meant to be only between one man and one woman. That was a Puritan creation to insure wealth didn’t go to some hussy with a male child instead of the wife.

Pam: You mean, because women couldn’t inherit property?

Martha: Exactly! Look, you didn’t come all this way for a history lesson or to end your marriages. You came to save them. Believe it or not, that’s the same reason your men came. Only, they intended to do it by having wild sex with other women… safely.  You see, they came to fill an emptiness they couldn’t satisfy at home. Not without losing the women they love, or so they stupidly believe.

Jen: So, they’re not here to fish?

Martha shakes her head and pats Jen on the knee again.

Pam: But how do you know this, Martha?

Martha: Haven’t you figured it out yet? Sex is my business. I own a resort called DR Nights. Your husbands and Robby are currently guests in one of my private villas with a few of my girls.

Jen: Wait a minute. Why are you telling us this?

Martha stands and picks up her purse.

Martha: Well, let’s just say that there are stronger bonds than money, and James couldn’t pay me enough to break this one, even if he knew about it. Basically, someone I care about loves you both and wants you to be happy.

Martha walks towards the elevator, and picks up the heels.

Martha: So, are you bitches coming, or are you going to let my girls fuck your husbands’ brains out all weekend?

Jen turns and smiles at Pam.

Jen: Well, they are cute shoes, and I think Ted has played enough in paradise. It’s time he remembers how good home loving is.

Pam rubs her belly and stands up.

Pam: I’m still not sure about all this… sex is not love stuff.  James has a lot to answer for before our scales are balanced. Still, I love the sneaky bastard, and his dick belongs to me. It shouldn’t enter any pussy without my permission.

Martha: All right now. That’s what I like to see, women taking charge. Let’s go crash a party. You two can figure out if you're going to fuck them up or fuck them on the ride over.

Pam and Jen begin taking off their robes.

Chapter 19
Caught!

By lancellot

Act 4
Scene 5

Setting: Wood paneled massage room in the guy’s private Villa. Ted, James and Robby are naked and lying face down tables. Rosa, Carla, Maria and Isabella are also naked and giving the men messages.

The doorbell rings.

James: Shit! Who… oh yeah, that must be the night girls. I’ll go and—

Robby gets up off his table, and grabs a hanging robe.

Robby: Relax, big guy, Rosa and I got this. Be right back.

Exit Robby & Rosa

Isabella and Maria are massaging James’ legs and back. Carla is lying on top of Ted, rubbing her body against his.

Ted sighs.

Ted: You know, James, a small part of me feels guilty, but there’s this little voice in my head telling me to just lay back and enjoy. God help me, but this feels so right, so natural. Why is that?

James: I felt the same way the first time I came here. When I got home, I could barely look Pam in the eye. Several times I almost confessed.

Ted: Why didn’t you?

James: Well, I figured, if I told her, then we both would be in pain. If I didn’t, then only I had to deal with it. I know it sounds crazy, but I kept my secret to protect her. I love her too much.

Ted: You’re full of crap.

James: Yeah, I know.

Ted: I guess we both are now, and in it together.

James: I’m glad you came, Ted.

Ted laughs as Carla nibbles on his ear.

Ted: So am I… today. We’ll see how I feel when I have to look my wife in the eyes.

The door opens.

Enter Robby and Rosa

Robby: The other girls are here. Rosa and I are going to test out the waterbed in my room. We’ll see you at dinner.

Rosa: The night girls will join you in my absence, my lords. They both speak English. Have fun.

James: You have fun too. Don’t tire Rosa out too much, Robby. I haven’t played with her yet.

Ted: Ditto; go easy, dude.

Exit Robby and Rosa

The door closes for a second and then opens again.

Enter Jen and Pam.

James: Welcome girls, we’ll get your names in a minute; just get in where you fit in.

The girls stand still and stay silent.

Pam stares at the two naked women rubbing oil over her husband’s body. Her eyes narrow and she balls her hands into fists.

Isabella and Maria both look at Pam and then at each other. They slowly lift their hands.

Jen watches Carla slide her nubile body over Ted, and she leisurely walks to their table. She taps lightly on Carla’s shoulder.
Carla stops moving and looks at Jen for several seconds. No words are exchanged between the women, but Carla immediately climbs off Ted’s back.

Carla (whispers): Lo siento.

Carla lowers her head and quickly slips pass Jen. She rushes to the door and leaves.

Exit Carla.

Ted begins to roll over

Ted: Okay, I guess it’s time for the new…

On his back he sees Jennifer glaring down at him.

Ted: Oh God!

James: Are they that hot or are you at it again?

Pam walks to James’ table; Maria and Isabella have stopped moving. Pam raises one hand and points to the door with her thumb.

Maria and Isabella look at each other and they too quickly head for the door.

Exit Maria and Isabella.

James: Hey, I didn’t say it was break time.

Ted: I…I can explain. It’s not… what it looks like.

James’ back instantly tenses, and he grabs the sides of his table. His eyes are still facing the floor. Slowly his head begins to turn towards Ted’s table and he begins to roll over.

James (whispers): No, no, please God.

James looks over and sees Pam standing over a shaking Ted. He closes his eyes and sits up. He takes two deep breaths and then opens his eyes. He stares directly into Pam’s cold blue eyes and then shakes his head.

James (whispers): Robby!

Fade to black.
Lights brighten

Setting: The living room of the guys’ villa. Robby and Martha are sitting on a sofa.  Muffled yelling, cursing, crying, begging and pleading are all heard in the background.

Robby: What do you think will happen, Mama M?

Martha: Oh, they’ll scream and cry for a few hours, until one of the boys asks them how they got here. Then the girls will probably freeze as the memory them getting their freaks on this morning brings their own guilt to the surface.

Robby: Freaks on? You didn’t let them have one of your… special massages, did you?

Martha: Well, it was a long flight and I had a couple of hours to kill. Besides, I thought letting them get a taste of what their husbands were having was better than your silly plan.

Robby: Silly?

Martha puts her arm around Robby and kisses him of the cheek.

Martha: You are the son I always wanted. I have loved you ever since Frank brought you home from the university's police station for… what were you doing again?

Robby: Peeping into a sorority shower room.

Martha laughs and pats him on the knee.

Martha: Yes, all guts and no brains, or at least back then. You’re better now, but you still have a few things to learn about women.

The background noise suddenly stops and Robby turns and looks at the door.

Robby: Do you think they’re--?

Martha: I think you shouldn’t open that door, unless you want to be in therapy. Now help an old woman up.

Robby stands and helps Martha to her feet.

Martha: Come by your inheritance when things have cooled down here. I’ll take Carla and Maria back with me. Rosa and Isabella will stay here with you.

Robby and Martha walk to the door. Martha hugs Robby and then opens the door.

Exit Martha.

A side door opens.

Enter Rosa

Rosa: It's quiet in there.

Robby: Don’t you mean. It's quiet in there, MY LORD?

Rosa waves her tiny hand in the air.

Rosa: Whatever, Robert, you’re not the boss yet, and I’m on break until six.

Robby instantly picks Rosa off the ground and lays her over his right shoulder. He slaps her on the butt.

Robby: It’s six o’clock somewhere.

Rosa: If you’re going to take me… my lord, you had better satisfy me.

Robby: Your wish is my command, my lady.

They both laugh as Robby walks down the hall carrying Rosa.

Exit Robby and Rosa
Fade to black.

Chapter 20
Pool Side Chat

By lancellot

Epilogue

Setting: The backyard of the guys and gals’ villa, poolside. It is night. The pool lights are on and the water glows blue. Robby is reclining by the water, sipping on a drink. The crickets chirp in the distance.

Enter Pam

Pam: May I join you, little brother?

Robby waves at the empty chair next to him and Pam sits.

Robby: It’s good to see you alive. I was getting a bit worried.

Pam smiles and shakes her head.

Pam: I’m sure you weren’t that worried. These walls are thin. If I heard you and those two giggling women, then I know you heard us.

Robby smiles and shrugs.

Robby: Well, I didn’t want to embarrass you. I know how you feel about… certain things.

Pam: Felt about; it seems things change and I guess some things have needed changing for a long time. But I suppose you knew that, didn’t you?

Robby: I saw a few warning signs. So, where are Jen and the guys?

Pam: Right now, Jen’s sleeping and playing the part of a piece of white meat between two sleeping slices of horny-bread.

Robby turns and grins at his sister.

Robby: What? I heard moaning but I didn’t think the four of you were…

Pam shrugs her shoulders and then picks up Robby’s drink. She sucks deeply on his straw.

Pam: It seems some things are better shared.

Robby: Shared with club girls?

Pam: Well, let’s take things slowly. Ted swears they are clean and nice, but I think Jen and I can handle the boys ourselves… at least on this trip. The next time… we’ll see.

Robby: Next time? I must say, big sister. I am a bit surprised. The most I hoped for was you guys seeing what you were missing within each other. I didn’t think you would go all swinging, or is it swapping? I get those two confused for married folk.

Pam: I don’t know what it’s called. I just know we’re all happy, and I know I have you to thank for that.

Pam leans over and kisses Robby on the cheek.

Robby: You are very welcome. A happy sister and a kiss on the cheek are wonderful rewards.

Pam stands, and adjusts her robe.

Pam: Oh, the kiss wasn’t your reward. You’ll get that next year when the four of us come back.

Robby: You mean five?

Pam: No, I mean four. You, dear brother will be at home babysitting, like a good uncle should.

Robby: What? Are you… are you pregnant?

Pam: Yes, and I figure it’s entirely your fault. If you hadn’t suggested I wasn’t pleasing my man…

Robby: You weren’t!

Pam: I know that, but still, you got in my head that night and I acted impulsively. So, now you’re going to be an uncle and babysitting is your job.

Pam bends over and kisses Robby on the head.

Pam: I’m going to add an extra layer of meat to that sandwich. Goodnight, and don’t hold breakfast for us, we may sleep in.

Robby: I’ll have Isabella bring trays for you. Goodnight and enjoy yourself.

Exit Pam

Robby stares up at the night sky.

Robby: An uncle. I hope it’s a boy. I have so much to teach him. I can start him on the first few rules early. When he’s old enough, I’ll bring him to the resort and begin his player training. He’ll be a god by eighteen. Wait…what if it’s a girl?

Now, on to the next one.
