– I also tried to help Dan, but all in vain, Stacy. He always says that he has emotional attachments to almost all of his things.
– But his home is filled with junk. The forgotten stuff he doesn’t particularly care about. The stock-piling items around him for what?
– For survival and comfort, Stacy. And as per his own words, everything is the most expensive inherited items! Antique!
– Shit! Fifty-year-old broken tools from his grandpa? Damaged furniture from former tenants? – Stacy laughed. – Oh, my.
– Yes, and the endless dirty boxes, bags, suitcases with school notebooks, old toiletries, shoes, boots, dishes, plates, glasses, stinky pillows, covers, carpets, etc. – all is untouchable!
– Oh, dear Vika, I’m so sorry. Did he invite anyone over to his place? Is he social?
– No, never. – I answered. – Only once Daniel’s old friend Cody came to pick up some of his personal things from Dan’s garage. But that Cody behaved very strange. He darted a suspicious curious look at me, and that’s all. He drank some beer with Dan, didn’t say good-bye, and just quietly disappeared. Dan said that Cody was shy with women, since he was kinky guy and that Cody was still in warm relationship with Daniel’s first wife.
– Hmm, I haven’t heard of that kinky Cody from Dan. Never. Is he a swinger? – Stacy was astonished.
– Yes, he is, as per Dan’s stories. And do you know Daniel’s first wife, Stacy? – I was curious.
– No. I don’t. Dan made a secret of his first marriage. For all our family! The only thing I’ve heard is that his first wife was beautiful and hard-working; she was a professional dancer.
– And do you know Daniel’s sister?
– I know he has a sister, but I don’t know her personally. Dan said once they were out of contact with her for ages. I can’t judge. I have my own sister and we are enemies for ages. She is a woman of character, and I’m as well.
At that moment Nick and Dan have returned to the back yard.
– Vika, congratulations. Dan told me about his big project of the house remodeling. He is going to expand the first floor and build the second floor soon. You’ll have a new dreamy family home! Good news guys, – Nick sounded very excited.
He seemed to be so immature and accepted true everything that Daniel had described him in rose colors.
– It would be great, but it’s too early to congratulate me on this project, Nick.
– Why? – Nick wondered and looked at Dan.
Dan left us for a minute.
– You know, guys, I’m tired to live just on trust. Dan is not in a hurry with anything, a real snail; – I expressed my point of view and smiled sorrowfully. – To make up tales is my husband’s favorite hobby.
Dan came back quickly, but he missed my answer and explanatory comment.
– Dan, and where is a pond full of gold fish in your back yard? I couldn’t see it. Remember, you bet us a big box of beer that your project would be finished till Christmas? – Stacy suddenly, plainly and jokingly asked my husband.
– We’ve drunk half of it already, haven’t we Stacy? – Dan looked at the empty beer bottles in the box and chuckled.
– A half of pond, Dan? – Stacy laughed.
Daniel pretended he missed the point of her joke.
– I have no time, Stacy. No time. You know, my sick mom. I can’t take the responsibility off myself and… – He started mumbling his fish story, well-known almost to everyone.
– Oh, stop grumbling darling! – Stacy didn’t feel like listening to Dan’s old sob story. – You could hire some workers, contractors, and Vika would manage them. She has time and she could do that as your wife. What’s the problem?
– No problem. You’d better believe I’ll build my dreamy house, Stacy. I swear guys! – Dan exclaimed cheerfully. – And now it’s time to go to the restaurant. We’ll have fun, as I promised.
– OK, – Stacy answered uncertainly and gave her husband a look.
– Let’s go, I need fun, dear! – Nick answered.
– Did you find each other on-line, guys? – Stacy asked in the car. – My girls say nowadays almost everyone meet someone on-line.
– Yes. And I’ve got the first e-mail from my Vika when I was visiting you guys in Texas, on my summer business trip, remember? – Daniel answered simultaneously.
– Wow! I remember but you didn’t tell me about Vika that time. A secret guy!
– That special day, guys, we came back home from the gulf club early in the morning. It was about 8 AM, and it was unbearably hot outside. We had to spend the whole day sitting in your cool swimming pool.
– As I remember, – Nick smiled, – we were eating lobsters and drinking cold beer non-stop that day.
– Exactly. Great memory, Nicky, – Daniel confirmed. – And late in the evening I relaxed in your back yard on my own, looked at the stars, prayed and asked God for a very good woman. When I came back to my room at midnight and checked my e-mail, I was greatly surprised to get a very short e-mail from gorgeous Vika. It was a miracle!
– Remarkable… – Stacy giggled. – I have no idea what you asked God for, Dan, but what I bear in mind, darling… Can I continue?
– Yes, sure. – Dan answered.
– It was really unforgettable time – that hot summer in Texas; and you’ve left so much spam in our computers from hanging over porno sites almost all the nights.
– Come on, Stacy. – Daniel nodded his head and laughed nervously. – Thank you for a keen observation. I was sure you, guys, were fucking those late hours, no? Since Stacy was searching me out. Ha-ha-ha. And what? Is it forbidden to watch porno in Texas, if you are over 21? Ha-ha-ha. Besides, Stacy, it might as well, has been your husband, who visited those sites.
– Absolutely, Dan! – Nick burst out laughing.
– Vika, do not listen to Stacy. She is exaggerating СКАЧАТЬ
