Line Of Scrimmage (13 page)

“I got to go.”

“Yeah you do.”

I stood and started getting dressed in the clothes I earlier discarded. Kari watched me
meticulously. She hopped off the bed and grabbed her robe off the back of the closet door.

I was
completely dressed. I knew Jack wouldn’t return for an hour but I had to get home and shower.

“Can I get a kiss?” I pressed my pointer finger to my cheek.

“Sure.” Kari waltzed over and kissed me on the lips. I wrapped my hands around her body and into the robe. My arms, hands and fingers grazed her bare skin. She smells so good. It was so difficult to pull away from each other but we eventually did.

“God, I love you.”

Kari looked at me and frowned. She was silent and glaring up at me. “So now you know how it feels when it isn’t said back to you. Punk.” She pinched me on my bicep.

I smiled as I squirmed.

“Kari.”

“Huh?”

“I’m so sorry.”

“Sorry for what?”

“The mark by your vagina.”

“What?” She grimaced.

I patted the inside of my thigh. “Big red mark.” I pointed to her snatch. Kari quickly opened her legs and her face tilted down to leer at my offensive bright circular tattoo. “Sorry babe, I got to go.”

I swatted her on her ass
. I quickly dashed from the bedroom and down the stairs.

“Mason, you asshole!” Kari yelled just as I exited through the front door.

CHAPTER 9

I sat in my office alone. Mike was gone for the day. I fought the urge to call Kari for a week. A week was as long as I could hold out. I placed a call to her cell when I knew she would be leaving her job. The cell rang twice before she answered.

“Hello.” She said in what she called her white girl voice.

“Hey.”

“W
ho is this?” She seemed irritated.

“
It’s Mason.” She didn’t know it was me. That hurts.

“Oh.
”

“You don’t know me
now?”

“Mason, you
r name didn’t show up on the caller I.D.”

“Why not?”

“
Jack made me erase your number from my phone when you guys had your big dick cave man altercation at the bar.”

“Oh,
he has balls.”

“Yes he does but there not as big as yours.”

I smiled into the phone. “Yeah I figured as much.” I smirked.

“S
o are you okay?” She sincerely asked.

“Yeah I’m okay. How are you?”

“I’m okay.”

“I miss you. I just wanted to hear your voice.”
I confused.

“Mason.”

“Yeah.”

“I still love you. I
miss you too.”

“So you’re not mad at me anymore?”

“No, I understand. You explained and I get it now.”

“Did he see my mark?”

“No.”

“I’m sorry
about that. It was an asshole thing to do.”

“Yes but
it made me think of you constantly.” Kari still says the nicest things. She made me smile into the phone yet again.

“Are you happy with him?”
I’m not sure why I asked.

“
I think so. It’s better than being alone. I was alone for so long. He’s nice to me.”

“That’s good. If he ever isn’t good to you please tell me. I will hurt him if he hurts you. Promise me.”

“I promise. Is your wife better?”

“Yeah, she takes her meds. She goes to therapy. We go together. I think she’s better.”

“Well that’s good… Mason I will never love anyone like I love you. I have never been married. I’m thirty-four and I want another kid. I want a baby. Loving you made me see exactly what I was missing. I don’t want to do anything that may sabotage getting the things I want.”

“I understand. I want you to have every
thing you desire. I swear I do.” I envy Jack. “There will be no problems from me. I play Jack’s team next week and I promise I will behave.”

“Okay
good, no punching, kicking or trash talk.”

“
I’m a fucking boy scout but I have one request.”

“What’s that?”

“I never deleted the picture of us we took in Vegas.”

“I didn’
t either. I put in a file so Jack wouldn’t see it.”

“Please take a picture of your pussy and send it to me. Right now.”

“Mason?”

“Please. I promise no one will ever see it. You don’t have to put
your face in it.”

“I’m sitting in my car.”

“So what, I need it to move on and leave you alone.”

“Okay fine. Send me a picture of your dick and I send you a picture of my pussy.”

“Okay.” That sounds fair.

“You better be hard.” 

“Of course.” That was easy. Thinking of her pussy makes me cockhard.”

“
I will send my pic after I get yours. Bye, Mason.”

“Bye, Kari.”
I held the phone and waited for her to end the call. Life sucks.

I unzipped my pants
and released my cock. I opened my iPhone to the picture of Kari and me in Vegas. I enlarged the picture to showcase her lovely lips. I stroked my cock until it was rock hard. I quickly set the camera on my phone and snapped the picture of my evil twin. He liked being photographed. I took a look at the picture and then sent it to Kari.

I had an incoming text from Kari. I opened the text and it was a picture of Kari’s pussy socked in her sweet juice. She masturbated to get wet for the picture, for me.
Fuck. She went the extra mile. I would have been happy with a picture of her dry pussy but this is so much hotter. I grabbed my cock in my hand and started to beat myself off hard and fast. I grabbed a few pieces of blank white copy paper from the printer beside my desk and shot my cum in the paper before I collapsed into the chair.

*****

It had been one week since the phone call and two weeks since my sexual encounter with Kari. It had been three weeks since I had my little rumble with Jack. I reluctantly stayed away from Kari. I felt it was the right thing to do. I had to see her today because her Malibu Ken doll’s football team was playing my team. Mike and I were setting up and all ready to go when I saw them both approach the field.

“They’re here.” Mike mumbled
like he was the little blonde girl from the movie
Poltergeist
. Just as if I was blind and wouldn’t notice my Kari walking with the plastic-faced Ken.

“Calm down. I see them.”
Mike was unaware of the fact that I strayed back into Kari’s bed the one time and I wanted to keep it that way.

“Mason please, do no
t embarrass me out here. Don’t embarrass yourself.” He spoke to me like I was a two-year old.

“Shut up.”

“Damn, she looks really pretty today.” Mike commented.

I turned to gawk at him and give him my evilest glare. Did he just say that to me? That was really insensitive.

“Mike seriously could you please just shut the fuck up.” I whispered because the
re were a few kids moving closer toward us.

I
had a decisive plan. I would stay out of their way and they would stay out of mine. I wouldn’t give Kari any eye contact. I would be cool. I will try to block out images of Jack’s cock inside my Kari. Block his cock. Block his cock. Block his cock.

All the kids and parents had shown up and it was getting close to the time to start the game.
The ref was calling the coaches over and I had to look at Jack, face to face. I stood by the ref, Robert Monahan. He was the coordinator and President of the entire Bolingcreek Flag Football Organization.

Jack
walked up to us with his elusive man friend behind him. It was the guy from the bar. I never got his name. I didn’t realize I had my bodyguard standing behind me. Mike was my Kevin Costner.

Jack had his eyes on me. I had my eyes on him. It was a showdown at the
flag football field.

Robert stood in the middle. “Did enough players show up?”

“Yeah.” I said.

“Yeah.” Jack-ass said. Jack crossed his arms over his chest.

“Everything cool?” Robert must have sensed the cloud of tension. Maybe he knows what went down. I’m not sure.

“I’m good.” I bounced on my heels.

“I’m cool. Real cool.” Jack announced.

“Well let’s shake on it
guys. The anthem will start in a few minutes.”

I guess I was supposed to extend my hand first. I willed my hand out and looked over Jack’s shoulder. Kari had her beautiful brown and watchful eyes on me.
Her eyes, oh god I miss them.

Jack took my hand and he hesitantly shook it. I could
see Kari’s sexy smile lighting up the background. Was that smile for me? Or was she happy I was being nice to her boyfriend? Or was she thinking about how I made her cum three times? I sure am.

“Okay guys, let’s get ready for kick off.” Robert patted us both on the shoulders
and we quickly dispersed. I went back to my little Mustangs. Jack made his way to Kari. He planted a kiss on her lips. I’m sure it was for my benefit. What an idiot. Those lips will always belong to me. He may be renting them but I own them. As long as I’m breathing air she will love me.

Kari picked up a clipboard. The
prerecorded trumpet blew. It was time for the prerecorded instrumental version of the National Anthem. I removed my hat and placed my right hand on my heart.

We played the Trojans and we beat them to a pulp. T
he game was over, my team won times three. I’m the shitznit!  I had to shake whack Jack’s hand again. The kids slapped each other five. They call it good sportsmanship. I walked halfway to meet Jack, man to man, real man to anatomically incorrect Ken doll.

We shook briefly for show purposes.

“It would be nice if you stop eye fucking my girl.”

Wooooooo, look at the balls on Jack-ass.
“Yeah, I’m sorry about that. I just can’t get the taste of her sweet pussy out my head and off my tongue.” Shit I forgot no trash talk.

“You’re a real asshole.”

“Yeah,” I flashed my cocky smile.

“You may have won this game but I won the --”

Kari appeared from behind Jack. “Won what?” Kari grabbed Jack’s hand in both of hers. “Hi Mason.” She gave me half a smile.

“Hey.” I undressed her with my eyes. Jack wanted to punch me but Kari was holding on to his arm.

Kari and I had a secret love. We had another secret.

Jack
was burning me with his glare but it didn’t matter to me. I fucked your girl, licked her pussy, put my mark on her and you are clueless and stupid. Kari will always be mine. He is just an appetizer. I will always be the main course.

“Nice to see you Mason.” Kari tugged at Jack’s arm. “Time to go Jack.”

Jack pulled his eyes away from me to look at Kari. They walked off hand and hand together leaving me alone. Well not really alone. Mike was standing behind me.

“Let’s go. This game almost gave me a heart attack. How many more times do we have to play the Trojans.”

“One more time. Let’s pack up.”

*****

I wasn’t sure if time was my enemy or my friend. There were highs and lows to this time thing. Did time heal my wounds or just put an Iron Man Band-Aid on them. Kari looked happy with Jack. I had to see them together during flag football season.

Tess started coming to the games and I was resolved to make my marriage work. I didn’t really have any other options.
Jack was doing everything he could to be Trey’s surrogate father and I guess that’s a good thing. Trey and Jack’s son Caleb were inseparable. Jack’s daughter was a teenager and she seemed to like Trey and Kari from what I could see out at the football park. Jack would intentionally be all touchy feely and extra affectionate with Kari just to spite me. I couldn’t blame him. She was a prize and he had won for now.

I couldn’t wait for football to be over and when it was I was relieved and saddened. I wouldn’t get to indulge in quick glimpses of Kari but then I wouldn’t ache for her as much. I guess.

I never drove back to Lemington Lakes Park. That place held to many memories for me. I avoided Lemington Boulevard altogether.

When the
New Year rolled around I was just happy I survived. I no longer had to go to the stupid therapy sessions and everything was getting back to normal. I only masturbated to Kari’s picture every now and then. I spent a lot of time with my family. Tess and I hosted Sunday dinner twice a month after church. Yeah I started going church. Tess was eating. Halleluiah!
