Chapter 19

• I had always thought being called 'daddy' during sex was a bit weird and silly, and I had told Jim and Janet this once during a discussion over joints and drinks at their apartment. When Janet first called me that tonight, it was meant as a joke, but I encouraged more of it since it sounded satisfying to my buzzed and high sensibilities. I could only imagine Jim's horror at hearing his wife call his best friend 'daddy' while being fucked by him. I could tell a million things were going through Jim's head, but he did not want to get into it in front of his parents. There were a few seconds of awkward silence while everyone locked eyes.
• "Jim, I'm sorry. It just happened." Janet was still bent over as she spoke, which didn't lend any credibility to her statement. I tried to think of something to say to make this better, but there was no good argument I could make to explain myself.
• "Jim. I...uh." That was all I could manage to say.
