Kari and I, on our walks, had completely thrashed out the topic that I was not in sufficient physical condition to have any kind of fight with her: not a streetfight, not some compeitive sparring, not even some fun giggly schoolgirl wrestling. Yet, here she was, attacking me on her daughter's bed, with me essentially defending myself one-armed.
Maybe she justified her actions by having just been beaten (I presumed) in a long brawl with my daughter Brandi.
Or maybe she was so pissed off at my love-making with her daughter Sherry that she couldn't resist the opportunity.
Either way, Kari wasn't "accepting a doctor's note" from me as an excuse to get out of this fight.
And I certainly didn't want to leave Brandi alone to face a 2on1 onslaught from Team-Kari-Sherry.
I needed to defend myself actively.
Kari was going for a sleeper hold by covering my mouth from behind, or just wear me down by restricting my breathing. I knew what would surprise her the most was for me to flip backwards, pushing her under me. It worked, and I scrambled quickly on the bed to keep my body on top of her. Having a nearly useless left arm, I knew I would need to use gravity as an ally as much as possible. This would need to be a grappling struggle, not a slappy-punchy slugfest, where I would be outgunned 2 hands to 1.
I was looking straight down at my former friend's face. We started hissing insults at each other.
> You fucking dumb blonde, Kari. You actually want to fight me??
> I've wanted to fight you all these weeks, you trailer trash hag. The only reason I was making love to you was to see our daughters fight. Sherry has such a hard time finding good competition. I don't want her getting soft.
> You fucking liar, Kari. You were cumming so hard when we fucked that your screams could break glass.
> My getting aroused wasn't from YOU, Pam. And I can see now yours wasn't from ME. You used this all to get into Sherry's pants.
> News flash, sweetie. I didn't exactly need to pry open her pants with a crowbar. She welcomed me with open arms. [Kari's nails and mine are clawing each others' side boobs.]
> At least MY daughter doesn't slut around with married me, Pam. And you encourage it. Your daughter has no morals. You're garbage as a Mom .... and as a woman.
I admit I had no ready comeback for Kari's harsh judgment. I had long since given up on corraling Brandi's partying ways, and hoping she was sowing wild oats and would settle down soon. I wanted to be there for her ..... and with her .... whenrlever that happened.
I was, for many years, her friend, not her parent, which benefits no one.
I looked up from my hate glare with Kari.
There she was.... at the head of the bed.... my beautiful daughter Brandi.
While Kari and I hadcbeen bickering, Brandi had somehow defeated Sherry in their Round Two. Sherry was rolling on the floor, scrunched in a fetal position. Brandi must have gotten her with a strike of some sort to the belly.
Or below the belt. If so, that was vintage Brandi. Fight hard, and fight dirty.
Brandi grabbed Kari's shoulders in both hands, and pinned her onto the bed frame, her neck bent awkwardly. Fear was in her eyes.
> Fuck her up, Mom. Let's fuck up this bitch and go home.
When everyone scrambled home from high school fights, the losing often found herself without anyone "watching her back"--her friends had turned out to be of the fair-weather variety. So she would sometimes.... not always, but sometimes .... find herself the victim of cheap-shot potshots from girls she had stepped on in her rise to the top of the totem poll. Spectators who had gotten excited or aroused watching the fight would find it irresistable to seize the opportunity of a lifetime to land one more unanswerable blow at the prone girl's body.
I had always Tsk-Tsk'd such unchivalric displays as unsporting, and had never indulged.
Until one fight I witnessed, very light in my senior year, where the defeated prone girl was a tough girl Dawn. Dawn had a relationship was a graduated-and-out-in-the-working-world guy which I had always envied. In fact, Dawn and he were actively discussing marriage in the next 12 months, and it seemed odd that she was still engaging in after school catfights.
Dawn was always cold with me, despite my efforts to reach out. It made me feel like she didn't respect me.
So, basically, I hated her.
As she was laying in the grass, defeated thoroughly in her fight, I got down on my knees next to her. Other girls left us alone, because it probably looked like I was comforting her.
In that private moment, I put my mouth near her ear, and said ....."This is from me, bitch. Pam" And I gut punched her.
I got up, ran home, and slammed my bedroom door.
And masturbated like I never had before. For four hours.
That memory came back to me now, as I had the opportunity to do the same to Kari.
To be continued.....
