Dick Ep.16

As soon as the words left his mouth Richard knew he had fucked up, he made the mistake of assuming Lisa had told Chris about the crew hanging out that night, he also made the mistake of letting his curiosity about the man that darted out of the alley get the best of him but what he didn't make the mistake of doing is not being quick on his feet... "Oh, I texted Lisa yesterday to see what her and the girls had going on, on a Thursday night and she told me she was laying low because you were out of town on business." The words flowed from Richard's lips as if they were the gospel; he always had a great talent for making up a story that was less than truthful sound true. As Chris drawled on about the unimportant details of his trip Richard couldn't help but to glance over at Lisa, her facial expression was a mixture of fear, laughter, and pride over how he flawlessly handled what could have been such a terrible situation. Chris seemed to be totally oblivious as to what had gone on and what was currently being played out right in front of his face, it really wasn't his fault it's not like this was a continuous thing and he knew about Lisa and Richard's friendship. Almost forgetting about why he came to Bourbon in the first place Richard's attention was grabbed by the sight of Bisi walking down the steps, he had been gabbing with the happy couple for far too long and she came down to look for him. "Bisi" Richard hollered over the crowd, she turned with a smile and made her way to the table, "hey y'all this is Bisi and Bisi this is my friend Lisa and her boyfriend Chris". Bisi smiled and extended her hand to greet Lisa and she responded with a cheeky wave, Lisa could be such a dick sometimes and she was seriously territorial. Chris on the other hand was quick to accept Bisi's greeting and proceeded to make small talk about how her and Richard knew each other. As the two of them went back and forth with small talk Richard could feel the heat from Lisa's stare peering over the rim of her wine glass, she was clutching it with what could only be described as a death grip. Richard had seen Lisa become a little feisty during some of their drunken nights but he had never seen her jealous, now if you asked her if she was jealous she would never admit it but that's exactly what she was. Given the fact that she didn't know enough about Bisi to make an honest judgment it gave her room to let her mind create the perfect scenario to piss herself off. Lisa knew about Richard's revolving door of quasi girlfriends and that didn't bother her at all but what did bother her was the fact that not 24 hours after he had passionately entered her body, making her reach heights that outside of porn she thought was impossible she knew the odds were that he would be doing the same with Bisi by the end of the night. She was not pleased and she made Richard quite aware of it, she didn't risk letting Chris know but she made damn sure that Richard got the point. After making a smooth exit from the Lisa and Chris show Bisi and Richard finally sat down to their table to begin their night. The two of them hadn't hung out in a long time and it was good to see an old friend that knew how to have a good time without any strings attached, they had tried the catching feelings thing once or twice before and leaving them out just always worked much better. "Two shots of chilled tequila please" Bisi knew exactly how to get the party started, Richard smiled and she shot him a wink in return knowing that this was only the beginning of what was going to be a wild night.

After a much-deserved shower and getting dressed it was time to meet up with Bisi, they were going to a spot called Bourbon, which wasn't too far from his apartment. As he waited for his Lyft Richard began to once again think about the man that darted out of the alley, "was that really Chris?" he thought to himself. Richard knew Chris to be somewhat of a "lame" as Lisa affectionately called him after her third tequila shot, there was no way that he would have the balls to be snooping around Richard's place and as a matter of fact "he doesn't event know where I live" Richard whispered as his ride pulled up. Shaking off the silly notion of being stalked by Lisa's "lame" boyfriend Richard once again turned his thoughts to the evening ahead. Bisi and Richard had, had some brief history once upon a time but they could never make the relationship stick. Richard was definitely attracted her, she had these wonderful lips that begged to be kissed and though her frame was slim she still had curves, a "slim goodie" was what he jokingly categorized her as. As his mind slipped back into the memories of the last time he had the pleasure of enjoying those soft lips he was interrupted by the vibrating of his phone "I'm here, got us a table upstairs by the bar" it was Bisi and he couldn't wait to see her. Exiting the Lyft Richard saw that the D.C. streets were alive on this beautiful Friday evening, D.C. was a town where people were going to go out no matter what but when the weather was right it seamed like the whole city would come out to play. Bourbon was packed when he walked in, every table was full of patrons laughing and drinking, you could barely hear the music over the sea of conversation. As Richard waded through the crowd in an effort to make it to the steps he thought he heard his name being called "RICHARD!" the voice screamed over the music and dialog. When he turned he was surprised to see Lisa and Chris sitting in a corner booth, she was all smiles as he finally recognized her cries and made his way over. "How are you two cool kids doing tonight?" Richard asked as he gave Lisa a hug; in an effort to conceal any notion of what had transpired the night before Richard went in for the customary "church hug" with hips purposefully pushed back and one arm posted by his side. Lisa on the other hand came in with a full embrace, pelvis pressed firmly to his and a double arm wrap. Richard didn't know if she had been drinking, lost herself in the moment, or just didn't care but this was no play it low hug, this was I haven't seen you in ages and my ovaries miss you type of embrace. Richard couldn't help but to get a little caught up in the moment, Lisa smelled heavenly, that dewy, rain soaked morning scent was intoxicating and with her bulging breasts firmly pressed against his chest he was transported back to the scene of him waking up in her bed after a night of pure bliss. After what felt like minutes the two finally separated and Richard extended a hand shake to Chris who was standing at that point, no doubt thinking "what the fuck is going on here". Chris played it off well and with a smile on his face said "you must be buying the next round to receive that kind of welcome", Richard gave a chuckle and responded "shots?” Chris not being a big drinker just shook his head, grabbed his glass of red wine and said "oh no, I'll stick with what I know". "So Richard what are you doing here tonight?" Lisa blurted out as she too sat down and grabber her glass, "I'm meeting Bisi, she's holding down a table for us upstairs" Richard answered. "Oh" Lisa replied as she went to sip her wine, Richard knew exactly what the "Oh" meant, he had heard it before, that "Oh" was female morse code for "you know you just fucked up right". Richard chuckled at the sight of Lisa getting in her feeling right in front of her man, she always touted herself as the chick that didn't act like "all these other females" and for the most part she was right. Sex has a way of changing things though, you can have whatever intention or plan you want but when it happens in the way it happened between the two them it becomes hard not to let the emotion of that moment infiltrate your level of normalcy. Still standing there with a slight smirk on his face Richard turned his attention to Chris, he still didn't know if that was him darting out of the alley and the way Chris was interacting didn't provide him with any evidence for confirmation. "So Chris, how was your trip?" at that moment you could feel the energy at the table shift. Hearing the question Chris's facial expression soured, before he answered he glared at Lisa with a look of confusion and intrigue, Chris slowly placed his glass on the table, looked up at Richard and responded, "My trip was fine but how did you know about it?"

As Richard jogged home his mind was flooded with all types of thoughts. Images of the oh so splendid sexual encounter he and Lisa enjoyed, the tense interaction he had with Kathryn's husband, how fun tonight was going to be and how he could just feel how God awful his nuts were going to be smelling when the sweat from this jog mixed with the residue of the night before all ran through his mind; "Whew I can't wait to hop in the shower,” he said to himself as he waited to cross the intersection. Out of all the things that passed through Richards mind he seemed to be fixed on the fact that he was going to have to share his experience in Tokyo with one of his coworkers. Richard had never really had anyone tag along on a work trip and he was more than curious whom they would select for the job. Richard’s boss had vague idea of how things went down when on the road but he was sure if paled in comparison to what really happens. These trips were like many vacations to Richard, sure he always got the job done with stellar reviews to boot but in between business there was always ample amounts of pleasure and he didn’t know of anyone that he trusted enough to bare witness to the bonanza. To add to Richard’s trepidation the company had recently gone through some turnover with most of the senior staff being ushered out of the door for younger, lower cost personnel that reflected Paramount Sands' own rebranding effort. He knew very little about the new wave of talent, Richard was never really concerned with endearing himself to his coworkers, well except for the occasional happy hour turned one sided wife swap but that was about it. There was this one newbie named Beth that had caught Richards attention in a staff meeting, she was knee deep in a diatribe about the prevailing winds of misogyny that ran ramped in the world of corporate America and how it was her belief that we needed to self examine all of our current company practices and she was happy to lead the team chosen to do so. Seeing as though this was only her third day of work Richard thought to him self, "well that's a bit aggressive". Her campaign to end male domination, as we know it was fine with Richard, he never saw himself as anything but pro open competition for anything and as much as he loved women he didn't believe he could ever be categorized as anything close to a misogynist. "I wonder how she looks outside of her work clothes" was Richards very next thought, he noticed in that same meeting that Beth was extremely fit, "I bet she looks awesome in a bikini" Richard thought as he approached the steps to his place. As Richard slowed his jog to a walk he noticed a man dart out of the alley and quickly jump in his car. As the man hurriedly pulled off Richard caught a quick glimpse of his face "was that Lisa's boyfriend" he thought "what the hell, it couldn't have been". Richard was puzzled as to what just happened, he wasn't certain that it was him but the man definitely favored Lisa's boyfriend and if it weren’t for the fact that he was driving a different car he would have absolutely said it was him.  Chris drove an Audi 700 but the man that had just pulled off was driving a Toyota, Camry. Richard knew that Chris was supposed to get back in town today but Lisa had told him that he didn't like to use rental cars, said they made him feel cheap. “Why would he need one anyway if he was already back at home?” Richard thought as he walked up the steps. Entering his apartment with a bewildered look on his face, Richard still couldn't say for certain that was Chris and if it was him what in the hell was he doing snooping around his place anyway. There was no way that last nights rendezvous had caught up with him already, he knew Lisa would be the last person to let something slip and give Chris any reason to believe things weren't business as usual. Before hopping in the shower Richard did a quick sweep of his apartment and made sure he locked the door and put the deadbolt on "just incase" he whispered with a slight chuckle, "just in case".
