Serendipity

I was woken up from deep sleep today morning by my cell phone ringing. I picked up my phone and stared at it, still half asleep. It was 5:15 in the morning. The photo of my friend N was staring at me. It is usually a wrong number or some unpleasant news when I get a call this early in the morning. My Swami groaned and covered his ears with his pillow.

"What could she be calling me about this early in the morning", I thought and then it struck me "Oh crap" I said under my breath as i answered her call. I quietly moved to our bathroom and shut the door behind me so that I would not disturb him.

"Hello", I said in a sleepy voice.

"Hi ******, I am outside your house. Can you please let me in?" Her voice was breaking.

"Oh Lord" I thought. "I should have stayed out of this"

"You ok?" I asked. "Can I come in please, I will explain everything" she said. I thought she was going to cry

I was walking towards the door, when I suddenly realized, I was completely naked! I quickly retreated, put on some clothes and headed back towards the front door.

Yesterday was our friend P's birthday. We had gone over in the evening for a quick celebration. It was a weekday, so we just wanted to wish him, have a quiet dinner and then come back home early and retire.

After the usual "Happy Birthday" wishes,  cake cutting and light conversation, I started to help N set the dinner table. "So, is P getting anything special tonight?" I joked and laughed looking at N and then at P.

"I want something, but I am not going to get it" P said. N was clearly embarrassed and a little annoyed. "Hmm, Hmm, keep dreaming" she said

Swami and I shot a glance at each other. We both could imagine what P wanted, and what N was unwilling to give.

I laughed nervously and quickly changed the topic.

Dinner was a little uncomfortable, but we managed to keep a decent conversation going and when we were done, P took Swami aside to show him the new Samsung Galaxy 4 that N had gifted him for his birthday and we started cleaning out the table.

"Boys and their toys", laughed N nervously as she saw P and Swami talk excitedly about all the cool features of the phone but it was clear that something was bothering her. I smiled and kept quiet.
Suddenly, N grabbed my wrist and announce loudly. "Hey let me show you the new Sari I purchased on my last trip to India"

She dragged me to her bedroom and shut the door. I was a little perplexed, but waited.
"Can I ask you a question?" she said suddenly  "Does K ask you to... you know....lick him down there" she said nervously. "For the last month, I don't know what has come over P. He wants me to suck on his....." her voice broke and she covered her eyes with her hands. "He was never like this, he used to be so decent, but now I don't know...."

"Oh boy, What do I tell her" I thought and panicked a little bit.

I was trying to figure out what to say, when I remembered a comment my fellow blogger and CWS kindred spirit, Conina had left me on my post earlier in the afternoon. "You should tell her, ... It's one of those things that we sometimes need someone to just say"

"She is looking for validation here and instead of listening and comforting her, I could completely freak her out" I argued with myself.

Then, I remembered all the Craig's list conversations P was having with his buddies and realized what was at stake here.

I took a deep breath took her by her hand and gently made her sit on her bed and sat down beside her.

"N, you know I love you and care about you sweetie", I started ...

"You should have shut up and kept quiet. Look at what you have done. She has completely unraveled. Something went terribly wrong yesterday night and you caused it. You and your big mouth" I chided myself as I opened my front door.

N flung herself at me and started sobbing like a baby. I felt terrible. I quietly escorted her to our kitchen and made her sit on a barstool and held her as she sobbed her eyes out. I did not know what to say.

"Thank you.... Thank you so much.. for saving my marriage" she finally said between sobs. I felt a tingle run up my spine.

"I took your advice yesterday" she said sniffling. I handed her a tissue and waited patiently, my heart pounding. Then it all came pouring out.

How after talking to me, she had decided to suck on P's cock once for his birthday. How she had been incredibly nervous and was hyperventilating when they had started to make love. How she had nervously gone down on her knees, shut her eyes tightly and tentatively given it a quick lick.

I tried to visualize her with her eyes closed and her tongue darting in and out of her mouth

N had never seen him respond this way to her sexually before. "You were so right. It was as if I had cast a spell on him" she said, giggling and sniffling at the same time.

As she saw the effect she was having on him, she had been turned on and had relaxed. "He climaxed so quickly" she said.

"Hey, you are a pro already" I said and giggled.
"Oh, my God, ******, we made love three times yesterday night" and at the end of it all, P actually broke down and cried. He was so happy!

"He kept telling me how ecstatic he was that I took his penis in my mouth". Then she said in a somber tone "He told me about all the crazy things he has been doing, including binging on porn movies, and trying to find escorts on Craigs list. That really shocked me. I had no idea he was so obsessed with oral sex! and it was so important for him. When you told me yesterday, I thought you were a little crazy" N shook her head in amazement as she spoke.

"We had a long talk. I think we were up till 3 in the morning. He finally fell asleep but I could not sleep ******" I kept tossing and turning and thinking about all the years our marriage could have been like yesterday night and I am filled with so much regret"

"Don't dear..." I said. "You know what Shakespeare used to say, What's Past is Prologue. You did not know. Now you do, and notwithstanding your computer hard drive being filled with porn and P's email being filled with solicitations, nothing bad really happened. At least he did not cheat on you"

"You are a good friend ******. Thank you for having the courage to talk to me yesterday. I know it must have been difficult for you" she said and hugged me tightly.

"Thanks Conina" I said to myself. "For giving me the courage and right advice"

We talked for some more time. She texted P and let him know she was at our home. Finally when Swami walked into the kitchen, she kissed me lightly on my cheeks and left in a hurry.

"What was that about", Swami asked, as I handed him his morning tea. I told him everything.

"Ah, that explains the weird text I got from P first thing in the morning. I could not figure out what it meant" Swami said and showed me the text

"Thanks for letting me star in my own porn movie yesterday bro. I owe you and ****** big. How about N and I buy you guys dinner this weekend?"

"Nice job", my Swami said approvingly. "Do, I qualify for a reward?" I asked coyly as I slowly went down on my knees.  "Silly girl" he said, as he gently pulled me by my hair and rubbed my face on his groin.

"What a perfect way to begin a morning" I thought
