Corruption of a Family (Part 5 of 5)
If you missed the last post, click HERE!For the next month or so nothing changed. I worked, smoked some of the best bud imaginable, and on at least two more occasions slept with Mr. Thompson's wife. The subsequent lays were more mutually instigated than the first and just as attributable to liquor. These trysts were never discussed and were only recognized by mutually knowing glances. Neither one of us could afford Mrs. Thompson's husband and children discovering our secret. Despite the fact the woman was married with two children (very similar in age to myself), regret for my actions was nonexistent. I've always held that regret is a wasted emotion.
With all of this behind the scene action going on, anyone reading this has to assume that at some point the situation would boil over, exposing some clue that pointed to our joint scandal. You couldn't be further from wrong, and while I am not at liberty to reveal any of the participant's real names, I know for a fact that our affair never surfaced. With a "little" bit of help from me, Mrs. Thompson made sure of it.
I arrived home one evening in the spring of 1998. The theme for my state of mind in these ultimately unfortunate homecomings remains constant: drunk, stoned, impulsive, and male. Before I could ascend the stairs and deposit myself on my trusty futon, I was greeted by the Thompson's daughter. I would have drank her bathwater; if only she had been born a mute. And it wasn't that her voice grated on the inner-workings of my soul as do some people's, but rather that the context of her speech was juvenile, unbecoming of her age, and inconducive to flirtation. I knew why she was a virgin. No man had made it past her mouth.
She had asked if I was in-pocket. I stayed in-pocket and quickly packed my chillum before heading to my room to spark it. I likely had more alcohol in my system than is recommended to be smoking a high THC strain, but I never pass up an excuse to get stoned. That's exactly what this late-night hallway encounter was...an excuse to smoke. Cheers!
It didn't take me long to ascertain that my seventeen year old neighbor had been in her mother's liquor cabinet. Her smiling yet unfocused eyes had been a sure giveaway. We smoked a couple of bowls and chatted as little as possible while I watched Sportscenter. I had hoped she wouldn't be posting up for too long.
The next time I looked her direction, wondering why my bowl-hand had been extended for so long with its burden, she was out, slumped over and immovable. Fuck. I grabbed a blanket and pillow and cleared myself a place on the floor so that I could catch my own Z's.
Sleep came easily and seemed to have lasted a while before I shuffled back from its depths. I could feel the warmth of someone laying next to me and they weren't just laying next to me. They were touching me with a great deal of familiarity. Damn I was wasted, but I knew that couldn't be who I thought it was. No way was she that bold.
Before I could protest (yeah, cause I was thinking of protesting) she kissed my neck and the catalcysmic results of such were set in motion. This was something that just had to be done right? I mean, she was a virgin...and...did I really need any other reasoning? How simple my mind used to be and how powerful alcohol's grip on it when under the influence. I never thought twice about sleeping with the girl once it began.
After we finished, she shyly returned to her room and I was left to wonder about what it was I had done. It was 5 o'clock in the morning and I would be getting ready for work soon. No matter how much drink I consumed the night before, I wasn't going back to sleep now. My endorphins were racing and my conscience crumbling. It was going to be a long day.
Before I could even make it home from work that afternoon, Mrs. Thompson's daughter had revealed to her mother the extent of our early morning union. As I walked through the door and again ascended the stairs, there was a trembling red-head standing at its apex. She told me to get the fuck out of her house and I could hardly blame her. Never listen to your dick...it'll have you sleeping in the snow. (Click here to subscribe to my feed!)
