Chapter 4

I can’t believe what I have done, how could this have happened. I’ve fractured my wife’s wrist in two places. How could I have been so stupid? I often forget that she is eight years older than me. Well look at her, she’s as fucking hot now as she was when we meet 20 odd years ago. I look at her as she is sitting beside me in our car. She’s looking ahead at the moment as I slowly move through the LA traffic I look at her right arm and notice the blue breathable baggage which is covering her plaster cast. I feel so bloody guilty it wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t dived on her to get my rocks off. She looks across at me and smiles that awesome Porter smile that has always made me go weak at the knees.

            “What is it?” She asked, as I pulled up to the intersection as my lights turned red. She knew something was wrong with me. She always did.

            “I feel guilty Bette.” I said slowly.

            “Why baby?” She asked me, I know without me looking at her that she is watching me.

            “Because it’s my fault you’ve fractured your wrist.” I said softly.

            “Baby!” She was now using her tough tone, the tone she used when clients pissed her off or when we needed the children to behave themselves.

            “Well I should remember we are not as young as we used to be,” I said slowly. “I can’t jump you like that, I should have realised.”

            “Hey,” She said, as I slowly put the car back into drive and followed the slow moving traffic up the road. “It feels good that you still want me in that way.” She laughed. “We’ve been together a long time babe, it’s wonderful that we still have this amazing passion. Please don’t blame yourself. Shit happens.”

            “That it does.” I said back, pulling the car into a space near the Planet.

            “Let’s just say I fell yeh?”

            “If you want to say that. Get ready for all the old jokes.” I said smiling, knowing that the gang would take the piss out of her for falling. If they knew we’d done it while having rather passionate sex it could be a completely different story.
