You Can't Get a Date

Mike Andrews thought he had the perfect life. His wife Heather was. gorgeous, smart, and loved him, he thought unconditionally. They met in college when they both were really busy with their studies. He working to become an engineer and her a lawyer. They met up purely by chance in one of those mandatory non-stream classes. It was some kind of creative writing thing and because she was an Anderson, and he was an Andrews they got teamed up together. Heather was a total babe and Mike well he wasn't ugly, but it didn't matter.

They had plenty of fun in that class they just laughed and joked there way through it. The whole thing was a big stress relief from their highly stressful regular classes. They had such a good time in class they started to meet up outside of class and they were one another's pressure relief providing laughs, fun times and lots and lots of great sex. Yes sex, about halfway through the course they had decided to take Friday "off." They would go out for dinner and see a movie to escape reality for a while. They had such a good time together that night that when Mike walked her home after the movie Heather didn't just say thanks and good night, no she gave him a steaming hot kiss. That led to more and the next thing Mike knew he was waking up in Heather's bed. He had cum three times the night before and he had lost track of Heather's total. Heather also had no idea how many times she had cum. She also didn't care as she felt so sexually satisfied you could say she woke up in a post-orgasmic daze.

This relationship continued after the course was done. It was working so well in fact that they became exclusive the next semester. Not that that was much of a burden for either of them, they had no time for anyone or anything else. They both wanted to graduate at the top of their respective classes and the relief they were providing each other was actually helping their grades. Eventually they brought one another home to meet the parents. Heather came to Mike's parents house for Thanksgiving and Mike's went to Heather's parents for Easter. (Christmas, they decided to stay on campus and have plenty of great sex together). The two passed their respective parent/sibling tests with ease. As they neared graduation no one was surprised that the Mike proposed, and Heather accepted. They both realized they had a good thing going and they should not mess with success. This was especially important because they both would be starting high stress jobs after school.

Mike found a job with a construction firm that wanted an engineer who wanted to be hands on. Heather found a spot at a big law firm, and they worked long hours building their careers. The rest of the time they just had fun. They went on great holidays, and they had lots and lots of great sex. Before they knew it three years had gone by, and it was coming up to their anniversary. Mike thought that it was time to start thinking about having a family. He wanted to start saving for a house, the condo they lived in was nice but a house he figured would be better to raise a family in. They both were doing well at their jobs and were making good money. Now Heather was not quite of the same opinion as Mike. They truly had not discussed, if you would believe, anything serious beyond getting married. They had not even had a serious argument. Heather was very happy with the way things were and did not think they needed to change anything. Maybe sometime in the future she conceded but right now things were great so why mess with it.

Mike's job started early than Heather's and finished earlier so Mike was doing his usual thing making supper a few days before their anniversary whey he had the shock of his life. His whole world was shattered with only a brief statement from his wife. When Heather came home from work, she announced she was going on a date that Friday with somebody else. This was so unbelievable he asked her to repeat herself, so she did.

"Yes, I have accepted a date with this totally hot guy named Thad, short for Thaddeus, for Friday night."

Mike was shocked, his whole world was rocked so when the shock subsided, he asked the obvious questions.

"Why would you do that to me? Are you unhappy with us? Have you been cheating on me? Do you want a divorce?"

A million thoughts flew through Mike's mind. What had he missed? What was going one? Who the hell is Thad? Wasn't the sex still fantastic?

Heather continued,

"It's really quite simple I'm always getting hit on, you know that. They do it all the time even when we are out together. I didn't have any time for dating in high school of college. I was working far too hard to get my degree. You are putting this pressure on me to settle down buy a house and have a family, so I thought I'm going to try out a date with a hot guy. I want to see what happens and here is my chance with by far the hottest guy that has ever hit on me."

Steve was stupefied,

"Wow Heather this is doing a whole lot for my self esteem. What about me? Just like that I am tossed aside?

"Oh, come on Mike you are good looking, you know I love you; this is just a thing I want to experiment with."

Mike was becoming mad now,

"Well Heather I don't agree I don't think you should be going on a date with some random guy because it's going to irrevocably destroy our marriage."

"Mike, I never knew you could be so dramatic, your way overreacting This is just a just a date no biggy."

Mike then tried to turn the tables,

"If it's no biggy then I'm going to go on a date too!"

With that Heather erupted into laughter,

"You a date, you could never get a date that quickly. Women can get a date at the drop of a hat, even ugly ones, but guys not so much. You can't get a date by Friday. Guys who aren't totally hot have to work at it for a long time that's how it is. You are good-looking but not hot.

Heather was trying and but failing to stop her laughter.

Mike could no longer think straight he was furious, how dare she laugh at him!

Heather had crushed his world first saying she was going on a date and then saying he couldn't get a date. The laughter was tons of salt being poured into the wound. He couldn't take it anymore, so instead of killing Heather he knew he had to leave,

"Listen Heather I'm so mad I can't think straight right now. You blindsided me. with this and then laughed at me. I'm outta here."

Mike left and went to his friend Scotty's. Scotty was a good friend; they had been friends for years. They played video games and drank. Scotty never asked and Mike never told him why he was there he just went with it, that's the way friends are. In the morning Mike went to work hung over and a few minutes late, both for the first time. Gertrude the office administer was surprised, she really liked Mike, and this was very unlike him, but she didn't mention it. Mike's supervisor didn't even notice and loved Mike's work so much if he had he probably wouldn't have mentioned it either.

That night he went home and didn't feel like making supper for the two of them like he usually did but he did it anyway. Heather arrived home at the usual time and of course couldn't resist a sarcastic comment,

"Oh, you're back from pouting at Scotty's, do you still think you can get a date for Friday?

She said this with a big smirk on her face.

Mike just looked at her wondering who was this woman? What had happened to their marriage, what had happened to all the fun and love they shared. He then reiterated that if she went on a date, it would destroy their marriage and again, she said he was overreacting.

"Heather I am serious this is going to end us, and I will go on a date this Friday if you don't cancel your date. "

He was ready for it, but his wife's laughter still stung. Her words that followed were more salt in the wound.

"Who are you going to go out with Gertrude? She is sixty, weighs 400lbs and is married to a guy who would kill you if you made a pass at her. There are no other women you work with so how are you going to meet this date? If you are going to ask out one of the guys at work, I don't think it will go so well. (more laughter) That pretty much leave's Scotty. (laughter gets louder) I think he has a girlfriend so unless he swings both ways he's out. Maybe an escort? Paying for a date well that wouldn't count. "

Mike wondered if she realized the laughter was like acid eating away his love for her. Who was this woman? Had all the good times together just concealed the monster that she truly was? Mike was tired, physically, and mentally, very tired so he went to bed. Heather went to bed later and for some reason was surprised when she found him asleep. Mike usually initiated their lovemaking, but he certainly wasn't going to initiate that night. She was horny but was not going to wake him to initiate anything. They usually had sex almost every day and more on the weekends, so this was certainly unusual.

Wednesday Heather came home from work to Mike texting furiously on his phone. They had a rule about no phones after work so they could concentrate on one another at supper. Mike had made supper but didn't even look up when she came into the kitchen. Heather started to giggle; Mike was trying to make her jealous.

"Hi Mike, no kiss today either? You are too busy texting your date for Friday? Who did you talk into texting back and forth with you? Gertrude? Lets hope her husband doesn't find out. Maybe it's Scotty, are you getting really steamy with him Mike?"

The giggles had become full blown laughter by the time Heather finished her statement.

Mike was so mad as she just kept making a mockery of him and he realized that every time she laughed at him his love for her diminished. He was really starting to not like her. He looked up from his phone,

"Listen Heather this has gone far enough you are already destroying our marriage with this talk of a date on Friday, all the trash-talking me and laughing at me. If you go through with it, I'm telling you now our marriage will be over."

Heather finally stopped laughing,

"Oh no it won't. It's just a date you'll get over it. It's nothing special I told you I just am going to see what a date with a really hot guy is like. I have never done anything like this, and I want to know. If you weren't such a drama queen, you would understand."

"Heather you are special to me, and it is a big deal, we made vows, we have a special thing going and you're shitting all over it!"

and with that he went upstairs and went to bed.

The next day Heather came home to an empty house. Shortly thereafter Mike came home with a new haircut. It was different than his usual haircut, it was what he wore back when she first met him. Heather didn't like it as much as the way he kept his hair now and she couldn't help herself,

"Oh, you got a haircut for your 'date.'

Yes, Heather made air quotes with her hands, and with it came laughter, she continued.

"I hope Scotty appreciates it when you sit there on Friday night and play games. with him with your new haircut."

Mike went to their bedroom to get changed and what he saw made him even madder if that was possible.

When he returned to the kitchen he saw the large smirk on Heather's face.

"I notice the Victoria's Secret bag on our dresser. It is interesting. you bought lingerie for 'just a date' on Saturday night. It looks like more than a date to me. Also, what's with the lingerie? I understood on our honeymoon when I asked you why there was no bridal lingerie you said that, referring to your body, if this package got wrapped up in lingerie it would be just too much for me. You have never worn any lingerie for me why does this date get it? If it's just a date, he won't even see it. "

Mike was trying not to have a total meltdown. After all that had happened that week, it was surprising he didn't.

Heather either didn't notice or care that Mike was about to explode.

"I just thought something a little extra special for the hottest guy would be in order, it makes me feel sexier."

Through clenched teeth, Mike spat out,

"I see once again you're doing wonders for my ego. It's too much for me to see you in lingerie, but some random guy gets lingerie on what supposedly is only a date!" Listen very closely Heather this has gone far enough, way past far enough. If you put that lingerie on for me tonight and forget about this date business for tomorrow, I will try to put this behind me. At minimum if you don't cancel the date we are done."

Again, Heather laughed, she also misinterpreted his anger,

"It's your fault you're that you're so horny and want sex. I've been available all week, this is the longest we've been without sex yet in our marriage. It's all about you I'm available I don't need lingerie for you."

You Mike looked at her long and hard. It started to make her a little bit uncomfortable. Finally, he spoke,

"We will never ever have sex again if you go on this date on Friday and with that, he again went to bed alone.

Friday Mike again was not making supper when Heather came home from work. Although he wasn't making supper he was preparing for his date and when Heather arrived home she found him dressed and ready to go. Mike looked really good in a nice new button-down shirt and some new dress slacks. Actually, he was looking rather hot! She also was feeling pretty horny by this point because of their lack of intimacy all week. She was more than a little sexually frustrated and she thought about jumping his bones right there but there was no way she was going to initiate sex. Moreover, she had a date to get ready for. Heather thought something was strange in their condo as she got ready but was too excited for her date to investigate further.

Mike left. Heather went out with Thad and met him at a nice restaurant. They had a nice meal; he was charming and engaging. When their meal was over, he invited Heather back to his apartment, and she didn't hesitate to agree. She was anticipating an amazing night of passion; however, it didn't pan out that way. When Heather arrived at Thad's apartment, he didn't waste any time after he held the door open for her. He pushed her over the back of the sofa flipped up the back of her dress and as he saw her crotchless panties blurted out,

"You got to like an easy access slut!"

He then preceded to slam his cock into her until he came. Heather was still smarting from the slut comment when he quickly spun her around and told her to suck him back hard again. It appeared she was not going to get any oral or any orgasm at all from Thad. So after he was hard again and she was ordered to ride him she used her fingers to bring herself off. After he came for the second time, he sorts of half pushed-half told her to get off of him. Furthermore, he said that she could get lost because his girlfriend was coming home soon.

To say Heather was not very happy was an understatement. She left trying to hold onto to any semblance of self-respect that she had left for herself. It was still way early so there was no way she could go home so she went to her friend Michelle's.

Her friend Michelle accepted her excuse that she and Mike had an argument, and they preceded to watch chick flicks and get drunk the rest of the night. The next day Heather woke late with a bad hangover and then went shopping with her friend Michelle. She was in no hurry to go back home so by the time she arrived it was after dinner. She had expected to find a sulking Mike when instead she found an empty condo. Now it dawned on her what she missed when she got ready for her date. Mike's stuff wasn't in their apartment anymore. His work boots weren't by the door and his side of the dresser was cleaned out. Heather giggled to herself, boy he's really putting on a drama show, well it won't be long till he's back with his tail between his legs begging me to take him back and forget about this whole thing. Then she started to wonder how his date went, and this of course made her laugh. She wasn't laughing by the next Saturday when she still hadn't heard from Mike. Heather was tempted to call or text his parents or Scotty but there was no way that she would text or call anyone, it was up to Mike to come back or text or call.

On the second week, she was really starting to get frustrated. Heather could not understand where he had gone off to. She drove past his work and there was his truck but no sign of Mike. Heather was starting to get an inkling that she had screwed up, but it hadn't fully registered with her yet. They were great together so why was one date such a big deal? She was having a hard time wrapping her head around it now that she was actually thinking about it.

It was two weeks from the day she came home and told him the news that she was going on a date that she was served at work with the divorce. To say she was shocked, shocked out of her world would be an understatement! She had thought that Mike had been a bit of a drama queen before and now she knew he had overreacted! This was crazy he was getting divorced because she went on a date. There was a note from Mike that said.

"If you have any questions about the divorce talk to my lawyer."

The nerve of Mike! Heather thought about the two years of dating at school. three years of marriage and I was to talk to his lawyer! Didn't he know? that I could replace him in a heartbeat. Half the lawyers at her firm had made a pass at her! Then she pictured Mike going on his date with Scotty, and she started to laugh. I guess he went on his date with Scotty and now he wants to marry him and divorce me!" What a joke and she laughed harder. Heather then threw the divorce papers in her briefcase went home and forgot about it. As if he was serious about divorce, it was all just a tactic to get her to come apologizing and that was not going to happen.

After a month Heather was pretty frustrated. She had to cook her own supper, and every night she was at the condo she was alone. Heather started to understand how much she loved Mike in her life, how good it was to be with him. She slowly was starting to get the feeling she might have taken him for granted. Heather thought she might even have made a mistake. However, it was going be hard for her to admit that so instead she orchestrated an accidental meeting with Scotty. She needed information.

Heather knew where Mike's friend Scotty hung out and she just accidentally happened to bump into Scotty there one day. Scotty immediately wanted to flee as he had always been intimidated by Heather. Heather however had him essentially cornered so he said hello to her to which she replied the same. She then asked how he was doing to which he replied fine enough and asked her the same. Heather replied the same. Intimidated and awkward or not Scotty knew why Heather was in front of him because he was not stupid, and he had heard the whole story from Mike. He also wanted no part of her trying to get information out of him. As far as he was concerned, she pretty much needed to crawl naked over broken glass and beg Mike to forgive her for being such an asshole.

Heather was stumped about what to say next, all her lawyer skills were not helping her in this situation. Eventually, the pregnant silence got to Scotty who blurted out,

"Ok enough of this bullshit, you are looking for Mike and think I'm going to tell you what you want to know. Fuck you! He loved you like crazy and then you decided to break his heart and laugh away his love and kill your marriage."

Heather was taken aback by the venom in Scotty's voice but didn't take the hint that he wasn't going to help her.

"Listen Scotty we just had a little misunderstanding, that's all. If you just tell me how to get in touch with him it will all be sorted out."

Now Heather had always been nice enough to Scotty. She was a total babe, the subject of maybe a fantasy or two of his, and he never really wanted to get on her bad side because he liked Mike. So, Scotty had always just acquiesced to whatever she said or did. Yet now that he knew that she actually was a self-centered bitch who didn't really care about Mike, or her wedding vows to him. Scotty felt free to speak his mind.
