It was later that day, jack had ordered a take away for him Karen and Paul, he was setting the new coffee table in front of the sofa, while Karen was sitting on the sofa with her legs up, Paul hadn't arrived yet.
'You know Kare I'm not looking forward to this dinner'
'Oh poodle stop worrying' Karen said as Jack sat next to her, she kicked her legs up on his lap
'Oh I just can't stop thinking about it'
'What's wrong poodle?' Karen asked
'Nothing'
'Jackie remember no more secrets' Karen said as she put her arm around Jack and ran her hand through his hair
'I…I don't know' Jack said 'I guess I never had a serious relationship so when a man is interested in my I…I get all funny'
'Ah poodle scared of commitment' Karen said
'What shall I do?'
'Give Paul a chance you might like him, and then just go with the flow'
'Will you help me?'
'Jackie I'll be here for you helping you don't worry'
'Thanks Kare' Jack said then kissed her on the lips, then put his forehead up against her
'Ah my little poodle' Karen said just then the door went, Jack jumped
'Oh my god he's here'
'Don't worry Jack first step open the door and introduce us' Jack got up and opened the door
'Hay Paul' he said
'Hay Jack' Simon said in his Scottish accent, then turned his head to Karen 'You must by Karen'
'Yes I am' Karen said and got up standing next to Jack
'Wow I know Jack said you were beautiful but wow' he said and kissed Karen on the cheek
'Wow a charmer I see' Karen said and went to sit back down
'Dinner should be here soon' Jack said sitting down next to Karen followed by Simon
'So Karen, Jack tell me about your relationship, I'm interested I don't have a hag?' Simon asked
'Its one of a kind' Jack said putting his arm round Karen
'It's great' Karen said
'The best' Jack continued
'I see wow you two are lucky to have each other'
'We are' Karen said smiling
'Oh I almost forgot I brought this' Simon said getting out a bottle of wine from his bag and handed it to Jack
'Wine' he said
'Is there a problem with that' Simon said sensing his tone, he knew the real reason of course
'No it's just me and Karen don't drink' Jack said
'Oh I didn't know'
'No that's ok, you weren't to know'
'Can I ask you why?' Simon asked
'Well I don't drink because Karen don't'
'Oh why don't you drink Karen?'
'I'm not aloud, I don't really want to get into, plus I've only just met you' Karen replied
'Oh no that's fine' Simon said 'more for me'
'Well I could have one glass' Jack said 'Karen you don't mind'
'Honey I don't mind drink what you want' she replied.
A few hours later, they had eaten dinner, now Karen and "Paul" were sitting on the sofa, while Jack was washing up he had insisted that he do it while they talk in other words he wanted Karen to check him out for him.
'So Karen how long you lived with Jack' Simon said still drinking
'Not long a few months' Karen said as Simon sat closer to her, she was a bit worried but didn't think anything of it
'How comes you moved in?' he asked
'I…I was…lonely, my husband just left me so…' Karen lied she really didn't want to tell a stranger her life story
'I'm sorry' he said and with that he accidentally on purpose spilt wine on Karen's thigh 'I'm so sorry' he said
'Um…that's ok' she said and was about to get up, when he pulled her back down
'No it's not look here' he got out a tissue, and started rubbing her thigh with it, karen started to feel uncomfortable, Jack who had been watching came over
'Hay Kare why don't you go and change' Jack said smiling at her
'Yea' she said and went into the bathroom
'I'm so sorry about that' Simon said
'That's fine' Jack said sitting down 'She'll be ok'
'Look I had better go its getting late'
'You sure'
'Yea, look we must do this again, I'll call you'
'Yea ok' Jack said walking Simon to the door
'Bye Karen' Simon shouted
'Bye' she called from the room
'Bye Jack' Simon said and kissed him on the cheek
'Yea bye' Jack said then shut the door behind him. He walked into the bedroom where Karen was changing
'Well that went ok' Karen said
'Yea it did' he said and put his arms around her waist 'Thanks Kare'
'What for?'
'For talking me into this whole thing'
'That it you like him then'
'Yea I do' Jack said then kissed her 'which means I have all this sexual energy'
'Me too' Karen said, Jack started kissing her neck 'This is going to be a long night' Karen joked
'Oh yea' Jack replied.
