Chapter 2. The Surprise

Donna jumped out of bed and called the Airlines. Yes, they had a flight she could take that would get her to John but she had to hurry. She quickly dressed into a pair of jeans and a cute top, brushed her hair, packed an overnight bag and headed out the door.

The plane left on time and Donna had her usual window seat but all she had on her mind was her plan when she got off the plane. She would show the hotel clerk her ID, ask for a key to John's room, and get the hotel clerk to call him on a made up reason but not tell him his wife was coming up to his room so she could surprise him. Boy, would he be surprised!

Donna knew John usually went to the hotel bar for a drink before retiring and when he came up to his room, he'd undress, call the hotel and ask them for a early morning wake up call, put ear plugs in his ears and he'd be asleep within five minutes. He didn't answer his phone when the clerk called, so Donna figured he was already asleep.

She planned to sneak in the room, take her clothes off and slip into the bed next to John before he woke up and she'd snuggle up next to him.

So far, so good! She gently opened his suite door. She slipped her clothes off in the foyer and quietly tiptoed into the bedroom trying to remember where everything was so as to not trip or make any noise. She smiled to herself as she heard that familiar snoring sound of John.

Still tiptoeing she found her side of the bed and quickly slipped under the covers. She reached for John, she felt the presence of another woman and retracted in disbelief as the the other woman, half awake, said "Oh John, don't you ever get enough!" Then recognizing Deanna's voice, Donna screamed, Deanna screamed, and John who had been oblivious until this point, thought they were being robbed, grabbed a half filled bottle of wine off the end table,

John jumped up to defend Deanna, no he had heard Donna's voice too! Wait this was a dream, right! Then came yelling and more screams and John made it to the lamp for some light and there stood Deanna naked, there stood Donna naked, and there he stood naked in all his glory. Three naked and confused people whose life's were exploding into millions of little pieces right before their eyes.

Then the real action began as Donna began grabbing for Deanna and using some expletives John didn't even know Donna knew. John managed to part the two women saying "Look, let's at least get some clothes on, before someone calls Security. Otherwise I'm seeing my dreams of a threesome come true. At that, both women attacked John. Okay, okay, bad call I just thought I'd inject some humor into an otherwise bad situation!

Everyone did manage to dress before Donna started toward Deanna again, this time with clenched fists! Deanna grabbed a pillow to defend herself! John quickly jumped in and managed to get Donna to at least listen to their explanation.

Deanna, by that time crying and guilty as sin, tried to explain what had happened. "Donna this is not what you think at all! "0h it's not", exclaimed Donna! Then what is

it?" Deanna began her explanation. No, my aunt wasn't as bad as she sounded, and my friend had gone to the theater, so I decided to drive home early. So, your aunt lives in Seattle, right? "Right, believe it or not", Deanna continued. So, getting sleepy and tired, I pulled into the hotel just wanting a drink.

When I got to the lounge I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw John! He was surprised as me but he came over and I began explaining to him why I was there and he ordered us a drink and we sat there and talked and drank until we both were busted drunk! I remember John saying he would get me a room since I didn't need to drive and I don't remember much after that except there we were in each other's arms and oh well the rest is obvious but it was the first time Donna, you'll have to believe me as she started crying again.

Donna looked at Deanna as she forced a smiled and said "Oh Deanna, I would have believed you had it not been for the fact that when you thought it was John touching you instead of me, you said "Oh John don't you ever get enough?" Tears slowly started slipping out of Donna's eyes betraying her very real emotions, she quickly slid her arm sleeve across her face and hid the pain.

Then Donna looked at John and said now you! John hung his head in guilt and told Donna that he and Deanna had been lovers for some time (Deanna just shook her head at John) but after Deanna's husband found out and left, it became easier and easier to see each other with the Seattle trips. But Donna, John replied, "never in a million years was I expecting you to come to Seattle to surprise me!

"I think it's a good thing I did Donna said, or I would never have known what a liar and jerk you are!"

Deanna jumped up and started to defend John when Donna shot her a look that would kill someone in their tracks. Deanna quickly sat back down.

John I want you dressed and out immediately! With that , John obediently started packing. He looked at Donna and said "maybe you will be in a better mood to talk when I get back home."

Back home? You jest right, John? You are not to come back except long enough to get your things on Monday, understood?"

"Understood", John said as he started heading out the door, not even considering that he was leaving Deanna behind. "John, for goodness sake, don't leave me here with Donna, please! I'm afraid of her! She's liable to kill me!

"Oh really, my best friend Deanna", Donna mockingly said."I have nothing else to say to you either except "you are a lowlife! I thought I knew you Deanna but to see you lose Jim, one of the sweetest loving men I have ever known and oh yes, I've finally figured out who the man was that helped you in breaking up your own marriage." You and John deserve each other! You are both shameless!

John was still standing there at the door waiting for Deanna. "Go now, both of you! I will see you two in divorce court!" With that, Deanna sprinted for John and the door and they both left quickly as they noticed Donna picking up a lamp and immediately throwing it at the door.
