Penny_(2)

I arrived at my friends apartment unannounced, late and half drunk. I’d been drinking and after starting to drive home decided I’d better not. Bob’s apartment was in a direct line from where I was to my own place so I stopped to crash on his sofa. I knew where he kept a spare key so I let myself in quietly then settled down to get some sleep in his front room. I didn’t even know if he was home but it didn’t matter, wouldn’t be the first time he came in and found me in his living-room. After I kicked my shoes off and stretched out I began to listen to the night around me. I heard street noises, the hum of a noisy electric clock and the not so faint sounds of a woman getting well fucked. I focused on the female voicing passion, it was coming from Bob’s bedroom. Well, I knew then that Bob was home, and he had some feminine entertainment with him. I was too woozy to care so I drifted to sleep with the sounds of bodies slapping and murmurs of passion drifting on the night air.

I was jolted awake when the overhead light went on, shocking my eyes even through the closed lids. I heard a sharp gasp and a girl uttered “Oh, no. No fucking way!” I opened my eyes to see who was there and got a severe shock to my nerve central. My younger sister was standing in the archway wearing only brief panties, staring at me, “Oh my God Travis, what the hell are you doing here?” she wailed.

I was quickly coming fully awake, my mind kicked into analysis mode and promptly analyzed the situation so I responded “Trying to get some sleep, I certainly wasn’t expecting to find my married sister sneaking around an apartment that isn’t hers dressed in only underwear. What the fuck are you doing here Penny!? You’re fucking Bob? I don’t remember him slipping the ring on your finger!”

Penny’s face fell apart, she looked like she wanted to cry while looking for an escape. Just then Bob stepped up behind her “Hey Trav, I wasn’t expecting you tonight.” Even though he was nude he seemed a lot calmer than Penny who was panicking in place.

“I’d say not, but I see you’re staying in touch with my family anyway.” My sister picked up her blouse and skirt which were laying crumpled on the floor and fled the room. I hadn’t noticed the discarded clothing in the dark.

Bob stood his ground “Is this going to be trouble Trav?”

I looked at my lifelong friend, he had known me and Penny our entire lives but I never expected to find the three of us in this situation. “What the hell is going on here? She’s married Bob, remember, you were at the wedding three years ago.”

From the back room my sister called out, “We have to talk Travis, don’t blame Bob, you can’t be mad at him. I’ll be right out.”

I looked at my friend, “Go put some fucking clothes on, your dick doesn’t excite me like that.” He grinned, flopped his hand in acknowledgment and went to put something on.

Penny came back into the room dressed and timid. She glanced around as if looking for the quickest escape route before sitting an arm of the easy chair. I looked frankly at my sister, still shocked to find her fucking my best friend, cheating on her spouse.

“I’m trying to get pregnant” she started, “I haven’t used birth control since I got married but Ross hasn’t done the job. I think there is something wrong with one of us and we can’t conceive. I don’t want to cheat on him but I have to know if I can’t get pregnant because of him or me. We don’t talk about it, mostly because he won’t admit he might not be a ‘man’, she hooked her fingers in pantomime quotes,“he’s too fucking macho to think he might not have the balls to make a woman pregnant. It irks the shit out of me because he’s so selfish about it. I went for a check up and was told everything seems to be normal so it might be Ross who isn’t fertile.”

I was flabbergasted “You’re letting Bob dick you so you can get knocked up? How long has this been going on Penny? And why him, he’s like a brother to us, how could you two expect to keep this a secret?”

My sister shaded red again, looked around to see if her lover was near then said quietly “Bob thinks I’m here for fun, he doesn’t know what I hope he can do for me.”

I sat back and stared at my sister and played back what she told me. Bob thought he was on a joy ride while she was actually on a mission, he was a tool to get the job done. I started to laugh “you’ve got to be kidding, you mean …” just then he came back into the room wearing a morning robe as if everything was normal, he didn’t have a worry in world.

He approached me, “So Travis, are we right?”

“I’m still a little unnerved about finding my sister in your bed again, I thought you two got over that when she was fifteen.”

Penny jumped up, “You know about that!? Did he tell you?” She looked pissed, Bob grinned.

“You tried hard to keep it secret but you acted like a cat in heat every time he came over for a long time. It didn’t take me long to figure out you and him were fucking every time my back was turned, I think that lasted a little over a year. And just before you got married you screwed him again for about a week. Bob must have been your extended bachelorette party.
