So far my plan is to get cheap food, a couple of beers in a bar and sleep in the car cause I\u2019m completely broke at the time and cannot even afford a shabby motel.<\/p>\n<p id=\"a9a8\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The little hope I have as to the future of the evening is confirmed when I land at the Draft House\u00a0<em class=\"vm\">(now the \u2018Bengal Tap Room\u2019)<\/em>. The bar is empty, offers a so-called international choice of beers, a dirty pool table, and a corner reserved for live music, completely empty, nothing that hold me here for long.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5b8b\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">After a few beers and driven by the hunger, I end up in a fancy Japanese restaurant. The place looks cool but it also looks expensive and I don\u2019t picture myself eating alone at one of their tables. I can see two girls who are sharing cocktails and sushi at the bar though. I should probably go and seat next to them, order sushis, sake, and try and chat with them. Cannot hurt\u2026<\/p>\n<p id=\"09b9\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">A few minutes later I\u2019m chatting with them, talking about life in Louisiana, about my travels, bla bla bla..

With the help of alcohol, I gradually realize that these two girls seem to be very interested in me, and not only in my stories. When I say with the help of alcohol, I speak for them. The more we drink, the more I can feel them letting go\u2026 the way they look at me, the way they laugh when I say something just a little bit funny, the way they play with their hair\u2026 some signs don\u2019t lie. You might think,\u00a0<em class=\"vm\">\u201cCool man, go ahead, turn them on for a threesome and go home with those two chicks!\u201d<\/em> But to be honest, I\u2019m not really attracted to any of them, not even enough to consider it ok and lower my usual standards just because it\u2019s a threesome. Not even the fact that I have nowhere to sleep, nor the fact that I had originally planned to have a quick dinner and an early night\u2019s sleep to hit the road early the next day, motivate me to go home with them. Thing is, now that I have warmed up with a few drinks, I wanna keep pushing and see what the Baton Rouge night holds. The devil in me taking over.<\/p>\n<p id=\"0388\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Baton Rouge is not full of cool bars though, to say the least, and we finally get to this place\u00a0<em class=\"vm\">(not sure if it was a bar or a restaurant)<\/em>, where about sixty people are dressed up and celebrate Halloween early\u00a0<em class=\"vm\">(we are on 29th October 2015)<\/em>. Unfortunately, we are quickly told that the bar is about to close and I\u2019m starting to reconsider my options.<\/p>\n<p id=\"406a\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">But as we are heading towards the exit, I catch Kelly\u2019s* eyes. Kelly appears to me like a glimmer of hope, like a rose among brambles, like a lighthouse on a stormy night. I find her very attractive. Rather tall, she wears a multicolor unicorn hat that brings out her big blue eyes and covers her long blond hair. Her face is beautiful, her smile devastating. She wears a black outfit that reveals her long and beautiful legs. I can only see her now. We make eye contact, I smile at her, she smiles back, and my evening perspectives change radically. I feel like I am discovering a whole new world full of hope and better days! I approach her without the slightest hesitation. Kelly is responding, easy-going and we\u2019re having a nice and funny first chat. Just the two of us. Until she introduces me to someone approaching\u2026 \u201c<em class=\"vm\">This is my husband Tommy*!<\/em>\u201d. Fuck! A husband\u2026 Wasn\u2019t really expecting this.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9b09\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Tommy has an incredible look, he\u2019s wearing holed jeans, a brilliant and multicolors disco shirt, black sunglasses, a blonde wig, and enormous leopard-skin shoes with huge transparent heels that are filled with water and plastic flowers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6c1f\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">I\u2019m quite disappointed by this encounter I\u2019m not gonna lie, but on the positive side, I can perceive their craziness through the few exchanges we have. They clearly differ from the rest of the crowd. And I like that. I\u2019ve always been attracted and fascinated by unusual personalities and a touch of madness. I definitely perceive them as the trouble makers in town and I feel like I should stick with them cause crazy shits could happen.<\/p>\n<p id=\"b362\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">So when the lights of the bar light up, as a way to say\u00a0<em class=\"vm\">\u201cEverybody fuck off!\u201d<\/em>, and Kelly invites me to follow her and Tommy in another bar, along with my two girl friends\u00a0<em class=\"vm\">(cannot remember their names)<\/em>, I obviously say yes!<\/p>\n<p id=\"a31c\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The two girls don\u2019t seem to be super motivated though, and they make it clear it\u2019s not a good idea to follow THIS couple, who they seem to consider bad people, into THIS bar, that they judge shitty, and they suggest I can join them and have a drink at their apartment instead. But I insist and they eventually decide to follow me in the bar. I have to admit this place is pretty bad\u00a0<em class=\"vm\">(I think it\u2019s a wine bar called Blend now but must have been a different name and vibe at the time)<\/em>. It\u2019s full of hicks and the music is awful. Yeah, but here you go, Kelly is here and I feel like I should stay around a bit longer. I mean, I don\u2019t know but there is definitely something happening here. Kelly is staying with me the whole time, she\u2019s pretty responsive to all the bullshit I say to her, Tommy doesn\u2019t seem to care much, they\u2019re not wearing wedding rings, and I haven\u2019t seen them kissing once. Curiosity, and the devil on my left shoulder, push me to wait and see what happens.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fc2c\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">So when the two girls tell me they\u2019re going home but I can join them later and spend the night with them, I thank them for the invitation and take their number, more than happy to consider this option as my plan B. Sorry girls but Kelly gets the upper hand here.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4cf6\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Shortly afterwards, I\u2019m sitting on the terrace of a night restaurant (sort of), chatting with Kelly, when a redneck interrupts us to tell us about his life and a whole lot of uninteresting things, until Kelly clearly tells him to fuck off, which the lad didn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n<p id=\"431b\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">That\u2019s when Tommy, who was standing not far from us, steps in and tells him to stop bothering us and get out of the way, to which the hick responds with a huge right hook to the jaw. Boom! That was a big one, trust me!<\/p>\n<p id=\"a7c3\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Chad takes the right hook, backs up a step or two, and I can see his facial expression change with a mixture of hate and control. I see two options in his eyes, either he slaughter the other guy by crushing his face on the sidewalk, or he doesn\u2019t even react. Black or white situation here. No room for grey. Things escalate quickly with the other people around and it\u2019s a big mess. Much too many people involved and I have no clue who is with who! During the \u2018brawl\u2019 I can hear Kelly telling another woman that Tommy cannot fight because he\u2019s on parole and he risks going back to prison if he makes a mistake. Pretty important information for the rest of the story\u2026<\/p>\n<p id=\"9903\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Once calm is restored, after only a few minutes, I see Kelly and Tommy reappear, whom I thought had disappeared, and Kelly offers me to follow them to continue partying with them, after having apologized for the incident. This couple intrigues me immensely! I like their \u2018rock-n-roll\u2019 and \u2018I don\u2019t give a shit\u2019 attitude. So I decide, again, to accept their offer, and I jump in their car without even asking where we\u2019re heading next.<\/p>\n<p id=\"a63e\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong class=\"kp jo\">It\u2019s a long story I know, but the serious stuff starts now, trust me!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"2cfd\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">After at least 15 minutes of driving, some of which was spent on the highway, I realize we are now completely out of town and are entering the bayou\u00a0<em class=\"vm\">(slow-moving creek or swampy section of a river or a lake, typical of the Louisiana landscape)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"vf vg vh vi vj vk ja jb paragraph-image\">\n<div class=\"vo vp dl vq bg vr\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"ja jb vn\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"bg tv vl c aligncenter\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:1400\/1*7Q4RHoouBIsRrunIwItWaw.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><em>Picture from Nicole Herrero (<a class=\"af vx\" href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/GIVNfPMfcjU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/GIVNfPMfcjU<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"9bcf\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">As we are chatting about this and that, Kelly suddenly turns to me, staring at me with a frosty gaze that I hadn\u2019t seen before, and goes:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"vy vz wa\">\n<p id=\"22a0\" class=\"uk ul vm kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><em><strong class=\"kp jo\">\u201cYou know what\u2019s gonna happen now?

A moment during which I replayed the evening in my head, the ease with which Kelly had let me approach and seduce her, the fight, Tommy\u2019s parole, the two of them looking completely out of their mind\u2026 What a fucking moron!

I check if the back doors have been locked and I start to wonder how the hell I\u2019m going to get out of here.

Kelly and Tommy definitely make me go through all sorts of emotions, laughing, questioning, fearing, doubting\u2026<\/p>\n<p id=\"5ea7\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">I have to say I\u2019m a bit hesitant to get out of the car and enter the house with them. Should I leave instead? I\u2019m pretty much in the middle of nowhere though. I could walk forever and who knows what I could come across.. I\u2019m pretty sure there are alligators everywhere in this fucking bayou! So I decide to enter the house and be on my guard.<\/p>\n<p id=\"67b1\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">I admit I wasn\u2019t expecting such a house. It is spacious, high-ceilinged, four large Roman columns are in the middle of the entrance hall that gives on an open living room\/open kitchen, and other areas of the house and corridors. The decoration is, in my opinion, in very bad taste though. I go to the toilet real quick and get my phone to check a map and see where I am exactly. Battery is dead. Fuck it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7b2c\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">We sit in the living room and Tommy pulls out a magnum of Grey Goose. The vibe gets lighter, more relax, and Kelly and Tommy no longer seem threatening at all. But while we are talking, I keep observing them carefully and wonder what the hell I am doing here. I mean, when I jumped into their car, I assumed we would go to another bar or party, but never thought they would be taking me to their place, alone. So what are the options? I can think of two. Either they have brought me here to spice up their sex life. Or they are truly crazy, I have to take Kelly\u2019s threat seriously, and they intend to turn their living room\/kitchen into a butcher shop. I need to know for sure and I try a few things to make it easy for them to reveal why they have taken me to their place. After all, the sexual option would have the merit of excluding the murder one, which would definitely be a relief. In vain. Perhaps my allusions are too subtle, not direct enough. But I don\u2019t want to be too direct and let Tommy know that I would like to fuck his wife. Who knows how he would react? In any case, my hints remain unanswered.<\/p>\n<p id=\"b8ab\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong class=\"kp jo\">Until that one drink too many turned things around.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"978b\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Kelly pours herself a large glass of vodka red bull and drinks it down.

She now has a vacant look and starts to stagger, walks towards the entrance hall, collapses at the front door of the house, and bursts into tears. Shit. The situation is more than embarrassing and I\u2019m standing there like an idiot, not knowing what to do, while Tommy tries to comfort her. At some point, Kelly looks at me with this haggard, almost frightened look on her face and starts screaming:\u00a0<strong class=\"kp jo\"><em class=\"vm\">\u201cAaahhhh, he\u2019s freaking me out!\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>While staring at me.

I find myself simultaneously in a state of stagnation, denial and mobilization of all my resources to decide the best thing to do to save my life. My pulse is accelerating and ideas flow in my head. What is my best option? Should I try and run out? But these degenerates are blocking the main door! Should I get out through a window? Should I try the garden? I definitely want to get the fuck out of this place. But running away in the middle of the bayou in the middle of the night is certainly not a very attractive idea neither. Plus, they have a car and could probably chase me. What should I do? While all these ideas are running through my head, I gaze at a piece of furniture next to me on which is a fork. This fork then becomes my ultimate solution. I will use it to save my life, to defend myself. I grab the fork in my right hand and squeeze it with all my might. My body is in a state of alert and all my muscles are tense. It\u2019s decided, if this son-of-a-bitch approaches me, I stick the fork in his carotid artery! I\u2019m dead serious and ready to do it. First time in my life I really feel like I\u2019m in a kill or be killed situation, and I really feel like I\u2019m gonna have to murder this mother fucker to survive. I can also feel I don\u2019t want this to happen, but I have no other choice. He approaches, he\u2019s dead. I am absolutely determined to act.<\/p>\n<p id=\"afea\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">So I stand there waiting for something to happen, like a cat watching its prey lurking in the shadows before attacking it, except that I\u2019m the one waiting to be attacked before acting.

My brain no longer understands anything, too many twists and turns here, I don\u2019t know what to think about this situation. I feel like I\u2019m dealing with two eccentrics who can lose it at any moment. What\u2019s going on now? How can Tommy say such a thing and then just move on? Did he say that to calm Kelly down? That\u2019s a pretty strong statement to make to calm someone down!<\/p>\n<p id=\"4a11\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Rather than running out of the house, I decide to approach them and ask if they can call me a taxi, keeping with me the fork I have now tucked into the sleeve of my denim shirt, and blocked with the wrist snap. Tommy doesn\u2019t seem to mind, but Kelly says I should sleep here instead. I decline the invitation and insist on the taxi but she explains me that no taxi will pick me up here at such a late hour and I have no other option but stay and sleep in their house.

Surprised and embarrassed by this intrusive question, I politely decline what I understand to be this time a frank and direct sexual invitation. Clearly jaded and tired of the turn of events, Tommy try to get Kelly to go to bed and sleep, which she authoritatively refuses, saying Tommy to leave her live her life and fuck off. So Tommy disappears, gets back, disappears again, for good this time, leaving me alone with Kelly.<\/p>\n<p id=\"cce8\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">This seems to give Kelly ideas and she starts touching herself while looking at me. At this point in the evening, I need to take stock of myself. My brain is having a bit of trouble keeping up with what\u2019s going on and analyzing the flow of contradictory information coming in.<\/p>\n<p id=\"e159\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">So let\u2019s sum up here.. These two lunatics invited me to their house in the middle of the night after I hit on Kelly, they humorously or indirectly threatened to kill me, Kelly offered me her husband\u2019s cock, who he has disappeared since I declined the offer, and now Kelly is fondling herself in front of me. I need to draw a conclusion and here it is:\u00a0<strong class=\"kp jo\">Kelly and Tommy are completely nuts, too much so for me to keep up with, but the sexual lead seems to have clearly overtaken the killing one.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"cc0a\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">They were probably in the mood for a threesome, in which I was supposed to satisfy Tommy, and now that I refused, Tommy has left his wife to enjoy herself, after she has strongly insisted that he leaves us alone.<\/p>\n<p id=\"d1ba\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">I\u2019m not sure what\u2019s been the drive, impulse or psychological mechanism involved here exactly but looking at Kelly touching herself makes me decide to join her. We kiss, caress each other, she gives me a blowjob and we start fucking in the middle of the living room\/kitchen. I have to say I learned about myself that day because I\u2019m super excited about the situation, certainly more out of a furious desire to fuck than anything else, but I don\u2019t really seem to be taking into consideration the possibility of Tommy coming in at any moment and putting a bullet between my eyes. Even after Kelly thinks she hears a noise and quickly gets dressed, as if we shouldn\u2019t be caught.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12df\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Sex goes on, the alcohol, accumulated tension and potential danger that keeps reigning make it impossible for me to come. It\u2019s already early in the morning\u00a0<em class=\"vm\">(the night has been long)<\/em>\u00a0when, as I\u2019m on top of Kelly fucking her on the white leather sofa that separates the living room from the entrance hall, I see something moving to my right. I turn my head in that direction and what I see leaves me in shock. I am now facing a 11-year-old boy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12f4\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The boy is blond, with blue eyes, a bowl cut and stares at me unblinking with his head slightly tilted towards the ground. I feel like I\u2019m staring into the eyes of a possessed child straight out of a horror movie who could jump down my throat at any moment. Obviously this is not the case and the little one eventually looks away and runs off in the direction Tommy had gone a few hours earlier. Kelly looks at me and asks me what\u2019s going on and when I explain what I\u2019ve just seen, she tells me it\u2019s their son, who we\u2019ll call Kevin here. This puts a definitive end to our sex. I knew Kelly and Tommy had a son. I definitely didn\u2019t think he was sleeping in the house the whole time!<\/p>\n<p id=\"17a1\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">When Tommy gets up a few moments later, he says hello to his wife and makes himself a cup of coffee without paying any attention to me, as if I was not even there. I say hello to him but he doesn\u2019t answer. The tension is palpable.<\/p>\n<p id=\"d8d7\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Looking around me, I realize the disaster we have left behind. Kelly is a squirter and she has left marks everywhere. The living room white leather sofa, the kitchen floor, all this space we\u2019ve occupied is filled with overwhelming evidence. There\u2019s even a little bit of blood on the sofa. In case Tommy doesn\u2019t know what happened, there is evidence of our lovemaking everywhere! I\u2019m now in the house with the woman I just fucked, her husband and her son who caught us. I really want to disappear.<\/p>\n<p id=\"d3c5\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Kelly has a professional appointment in the morning and offers to drop me off at my car which appears to me as the best idea ever! But Tommy steps in and tells her that it will waste her time, that he doesn\u2019t want her to be late for her appointment and that he\u2019s going to drop me off instead. Kelly acknowledges, gives Tommy a kiss and tell him to \u201cBe cool\u201d before she leaves.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f71f\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">I am now alone with the husband and son, both of whom having good reasons to hate me!<\/p>\n<p id=\"b50a\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">I say Tommy he doesn\u2019t have to bother and can call me a cab instead but he declines, saying he has to drop his son at school anyway. This time I get it. He\u2019s going to drop his son off and once we are the two of us, he will try and kick my ass! At that point, exhausted and resigned, I accept my fate. If Tommy wants to confront me, so be it. It\u2019s fair enough. I will defend myself, obviously, but I mean, the guy kindly welcomed me into his home, I fucked his wife as soon as he turned his back, and his son caught us. If I were him, I\u2019d want to kill the motherfucker I am.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9467\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">When we eventually reach the city centre, I recognize the place and tell Tommy to drop me off here. Kevin is still in the car with us so it looks like a fight will not even happen. Tommy insists to drop me just where my car is so I point a car that is not mine. He stops in front of it, leans to his left to grab something from his car door or from under his chair, I\u2019m not sure, and turns to me with a sharp movement\u2026 to hand me his business card.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"vy vz wa\">\n<p id=\"076d\" class=\"uk ul vm kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><em><strong class=\"kp jo\">\u201cCall me when you get to New Orleans to confirm that you got there safely.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"8c4f\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">I am speechless.

So I plug my phone to charge its battery, stop at the first McDonalds or Starbucks I find to use their free Wifi and find my way to New Orleans. While I\u2019m doing so, my phone rings. I pick up, this is Kelly. She\u2019s telling me how much she\u2019s excited and she wants to go back at it. Sure thing, let me call you back! Truth is, I hung up and immediately took the road to New Orleans!<\/p>\n<p id=\"a4d7\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">I still think about how things could have turned out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph uk ul qn kp b um un uo up uq ur us ut jz uu uv uw ke ux uy uz kj va vb vc vd er bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">What would have happened if I had lost my temper and decided to use the fork I had seized as a weapon? Would I have actually gone so far as to kill Tommy? Would I also have decided to kill Kelly in a panic? Would have Kevin wake up? What would I have done if he had witnessed the action? Would I be rotting in a Louisiana cell today? Or dead. And how would Tommy have acted if his son wasn\u2019t in the house with us?
