Just not for you

In the weeks that followed your brief visit to Brian’s place, you’d noticed Katie acting different. For the first week or two that followed, she’d seemed guilty and on edge. Over time though, she started to seem more relaxed. You’d get home from work and she’d seem chipper and in a good mood. Like she’d found some new way to get rid of all of her stress. When you asked her about why she seemed so bubbly lately, she blushed. “Oh, um… I don’t know… I’ve been working out more, maybe that’s what it is?” She suggested. And that was true, there had been many occasions lately where you’d seen her leave the house in her tight shorts and sport bra and wouldn’t be home for like an hour. Her runs usually weren’t that long, so clearly she was getting really into fitness. Yet even despite this new apparent rigor to her workout routine, she always had this satisfied glow around her when she got home, and would make for the shower immediately. Despite her seeming to have so much energy and this new focus on staying in shape, you noticed your sex life sharply declined. You’d never been the most aggressive guy when it came to initiating sex, so a lot of times in the past when you and Katie made love, she would make it clear she was horny. But that happened less and less now, and you didn’t understand why.

Despite this change in your lifestyle, you got some surprising news a couple months after your talk with Brian. Katie sat you down in your living room and put her hand on yours. “Um… Dylan… I don’t know how this happened, but I have some really big news… I think it’s good news though. Hopefully you do too.” She said hesitantly before finally spitting it out. “Im pregnant.” She told you, looking into your eyes anxiously. Even though you hadn’t planned on this happening so soon, you made yourself be supportive. Katie seemed relieved when she saw that this was your reaction. “I’m so happy you feel that way. I’m so excited to finally be starting a family.” She said, eyes shining. You knew she’d wanted this for a long time, and so her excitement was to be expected. Yet even still there was this slight undertone of guilt to her tone and her gaze. You wondered if she felt bad that this had happened despite it being unplanned, and you not really being ready.

As you prepared for this next big step in your lives together over the next couple months, there was another change which made you a little uneasy. Despite the strange first meeting at Brian’s place they’d had, Katie and Brian seemed to be becoming good friends. Whenever Katie was out gardening, Brian liked to come over and chat with her. Sometimes talking with her for a while around the back side of the house. Katie kneeling and working on the garden while Brian stood in front of her, towering over her. Other times you’d see them talking when Brian was out shirtless by the pool and Katie would walk over to chat. On one occasion, Brian invited Katie over the pool, and she asked you if she could go. “Did he invite both of us?” You asked her, and she looked away. “Well… he didn’t really say, but- he definitely invited me, at least.” She said. You frowned. “I don’t know. I’m not really a huge fan of that guy, as you know.” You said pointedly. She crossed her arms. “Yeah, I know you still have that whole high school grudge or whatever, but I wasn’t trying to **** you to come along.” She said, sounding pretty dismissive towards your grudge. “I’m just telling you he’s a bad dude.” You protested, and she looked away and shrugged. “I don’t know. Maybe he used to be. He’s always been very nice to me.” She told you.

In the end, she went over Brian’s pool alone. Wearing a cute yellow bikini which you felt was a little on the skimpy side. You couldn’t help but watch her perfect ass sway in her tight yellow bikini as she walked over to spend time with your old bully. You tried to keep an eye on things through the window, but eventually you felt silly for spying on them and so you stopped. She came back to your house hours later. Despite your disagreement earlier, she seemed really happy. She took a shower and got changed into some pajamas, and came and sat down on the couch with you. Since it had been weeks now since you’d had sex with Katie, midway through a show on Netflix you put a hand on her thigh and kissed her, but she pushed your hand away. “Not tonight honey, I’m too sore…” she murmured, and then her eyes widened before she clarified “I went really hard at the gym while you were at work.” She said quickly, suddenly sounding breathless and anxious.

A couple more months passed, and Katie was now pretty visibly pregnant. While the baby bump was obvious, it was also clear that her breasts had grown quite a lot as well. She’d gone from the upper end of a B-cup bust to having D-cups now. You thought your wife’s newly busty figure was extremely sexy, but unfortunately for you Katie still didn’t seem to have much interest in sex with you these days. You blamed it on the hormones. One day Katie walked into the kitchen while you were eating some lunch on the weekend. “Hey Dylan look at this- Brian is hosting a holiday party at his place.” Katie said, handing you the invitation. It was in about ten days and your natural inclination was to throw it in the trash, but by now you’d learned not to insult or badmouth Brian in front of Katie. They were very close now. You didn’t want to argue about it, so you just nodded. “Cool. I’ll have to check my calendar.” You said tersely. Katie frowned. “I mean… I know you and Brian don’t really see eye to eye… so I could just go on my own if you want.” Katie quickly suggested. You shook your head. “No that’s alright, I’ll go.” You said, and Katie actually looked a little deflated at this. “Alright.” She replied, leaving it at that.

The night of the party at Brian’s place came. You put little effort into your appearance, but Katie was dressed in a black dress and heels. The dress had been one of her looser ones in the past, but now she filled it out completely, and her breasts were practically spilling out of it. She also wore some very attention grabbing bright red lipstick which stood out a lot against her pale complexion. When you walked into the party, you found yourself surrounded by a lot of unfamiliar faces. You didn’t really know Brian’s friends so you were quick to find where to get a drink to loosen up among all the strangers. Katie, naturally, wasn’t drinking, but before long Brian walked into a nearby doorway and greeted you. “Hey guys!” He said with a smile. “Brian!” Katie said with glee, rushing over to him and hugging him. That gesture seemed ridiculous to you, they saw each other constantly and even texted every day. You drowned your jealousy in another gulp of your drink. Brian stepped back from the tight hug, stealing an obvious look at Katie’s big tits before he smirked. “Hey Katie, did you notice?” He asked, pointing up towards the top of the doorway. She glanced up, as did you, and saw that the two of them were under the mistletoe.

Katie scoffed but had a big smile as she blushed. “Brian! You tricked me!” She protested and Brian laughed. “Well maybe I did… but rules are rules.” He said with a smirk. Katie turned and looked at you with her mouth open, as if she could barely believe Brian’s audacity to ask for a kiss in front of you. “Brian…” she said, and you were sure she’d say no. But she didn’t. “Just on the cheek.” She murmured, gesturing for him to get closer. He leaned down, and she kissed his cheek. “Was that so hard?” He teased, and she rolled her eyes. “Shut up.” She said, shaking her head as she turned back towards you and rejoined you. “He is unbelievable, isn’t he?” She said, her face still flushed and she looked a little out of breath. “That’s one word for it.” You said bitterly, and she looked up at you. “I’m sorry. That was probably too much.” She said, seeming to sense she’d crossed a line. You shrugged and looked away. Acting aloof. Letting her know how jealous you were would just make you seem immature. And you knew by now Brian could do no wrong in her eyes.

You and Katie made small talk with some of Brian’s friends that lived in the area. By now you had a pleasant buzz going and Brian was keeping his distance so you were actually starting to enjoy yourself. Katie seemed distracted though. Brian was talking to some Hispanic girl and they seemed to be having a very good time. Brian gesturing wildly with his hands as he told some story, and the Hispanic girl laughing uproariously. The other girl even playfully swatted Brian’s shoulder at one point and Katie frowned. She didn’t seem to be listening to your conversation at all anymore. “You alright?” You asked her, able to tell that something was wrong. “Yeah. Yeah… I’m fine.” She said, looking to be deep in thought. “I was just, um- I was thinking that a lot of people brought gifts and we didn’t bring anything.” She said, finally turning to look at you. “I know this is so last second, but… could you run to the gas station and get a bottle of wine? I feel bad not contributing anything for Brian.” She said. It was a ridiculous request, but the other couple you’d been chatting with was sitting right there and looked at you expectantly.

“Alright.” You said, getting up from the table. “I hope you know a gas station isn’t gonna have anything top shelf though.” You told her, sounding less than enthusiastic. “I know. It’s okay. Thank you baby.” She said, seeming very relieved as you went to leave. The gas station wasn't that far from your place. As such, you got back to the party fairly quick, maybe 20 minutes later. You walked back to the table where you’d been sitting with Katie, but she was gone. You asked around to see if anyone knew where your wife had disappeared to. Nobody seemed to know, and you realized Brian was missing too. You called her, and the phone rang and rang. It was only on the last ring that Katie picked up.

“Hey honey, what’s up?” She asked you. “Where are you? I’m back at the party.” You asked impatiently. “Oh, I, um- just stepped away to take a phone call really quickly. A work call.” She said, and you rolled your eyes. “You should’ve just let it go to voicemail. It’s after five.” You told her. “Mmm…” she replied, and you heard a wet pop from the other side of the line. “Ah… I guess you’re right honey. I just thought it might be urgent… What if they really need me?” She asked, her voice strangely low and sensual. You tapped your foot. “Yeah I don’t know. I feel like it could wait. You’re off the phone now though, right?” You asked. “Mm, mmm-hmm!” she replied, and there was some rhythmic and wet sound from the other end. You glanced at the window with confusion to see if it had started raining. “Okay so are you outside? Inside? Did you walk home?” You asked, looking for clarity. Another wet pop. “Ohh… yess… do it…” she breathed, and then suddenly she gasped. “Katie? What? Do what? What are you talking about?” You asked, confused and not understanding. You heard Katie giggle and there was a loud gulp. “Sorry honey. I just got- a little distracted. With my, um- with the work stuff… There was something really big I needed to take care of but… It’s finished now. I’ll be back in a few.” She said, and as you opened your mouth to ask more questions, she hung up on you.

Sure enough, a few minutes later Katie walked back into the party. Her hair was up, and it looked like she’d washed some of the makeup off her face. “Hi honey. I am sooo sorry about that. Can you believe that my work has the nerve to call me this late in the evening. It’s sooo crazy.” She said, but she didn’t look unhappy at all. She actually had this warm glow around her like she could barely keep from smiling. Like the cat that got the cream. Brian reappeared to the party a few minutes, and also seemed to be in high spirits. The Hispanic girl who’s name you never caught left the party early, seeming upset.

Everyone else started to leave, but Katie insisted on sticking around late. Even offering to help clean up. You begrudgingly agreed to help as well. As you put things away and collected up empty beer cans, Brian struck up conversation. “So… I know you guys must be excited about the baby and everything, but- I’ve been meaning to ask…” he began, and you and Katie both looked to him with curiosity. “Do you think you’ll have just one?” He asked with a grin. Katie smiled too and giggled, casting a quick glance towards you. “Umm… we haven’t really talked about it yet.” She admitted. You shrugged. “One thing at a time.” You said, but Katie looked back at Brian. “I think I’d be open to it.” She said, and Brian laughed. “Uh oh Dylan, sounds like you’re gonna have your hands full.” He said with a laugh, and Katie laughed too. A moment passed, and Brian looked back towards Katie, his expression suddenly a little more serious. “Well, you know I’m happy to help… any way that I can.” He said. Katie blushed and bit her lip. “Thank you Brian.”
