Smitten: Homewrecker
“Ro, the producer feels having you on the show as my wife is making the other women on the set self-conscious. Any expression of affection from them they feel is suspect. Now I know this is malarkey. But I have to please the management. Otherwise, it is back to a forty-hour week and late nights away from home. And I want to spend my evenings with you instead of in a stuffy ad office.”
“Well, I never! If I’m making your costars uncomfortable then you are right I don’t belong there. In fact, maybe I just don’t belong in the same bed as you. This has to be the biggest let down you’ve given me in all our five years of marriage. I want you to know how truly insulted I am. You take the couch, Doug. I have to process all this.”
“Honey, it gets more involved. The producer has requested that I personally recruit a young actress he has in mind. This woman is known to have a thing for married men. But I promise to behave myself. In fact, if things get hairy I will officially quit this gig and return to ad work. No job duty is worth cheating which I’d never do to you in a million years.”
“This is every wife’s nightmare come true. Go to this woman and leave me here all alone if you must. But you’ll fix your own breakfast.”
“Honey, I hate to do this to you but it is purely business. I’ll see to that I promise.”
“Don’t forget your coat, Doug. It is chilly out there.”
Doug makes it to this vamp’s pad and knocks on her door. She greets him with a smile and takes his arm to escort him to her living room couch. She offers him a scotch on the rocks. She says, “I hear you are married. She must be lovely and very fortunate to have a handsome man like you for her husband.”
“Oh, tonight I think she isn’t feeling so lucky.”
Sonja replies, “Just because you’re paying a social call to me makes her jealous? You really don’t deserve such insecurity from her. If I were your wife I’d never put you through that.”
Doug says, “Ms. Sonja this encounter is only to see if you’re right for my TV wife, not my lawfully wedded one. I’m covered in that department.”
Sonja replies, “Every man has a right to enjoy another woman’s company in the innocence of fiction. I am after all only auditioning for your show and you could be more receptive to me socially. I find the way you're being evasive a put off.”
“Well Ms. Sonja, you may be perfect for the show but our professional relationship is already starting off on shaky ground. I’m afraid I’ll have to excuse myself. Goodnight to you.”
Doug drives home with the self-assurance that he kept his boundaries properly maintained and can be honest with Rowena. On the way home he stops at a payphone and calls the producer. He puts his foot down that his costars will simply have to accept his wife and deal with their insecurities. Under no circumstances will he stay with the show if Ro is let go. The producer accedes to Doug’s demands and pronounces the issue over with.
Doug arrives home and dashes up to Rowena with the glee of a boy who made the honor roll. He takes her in his arms and kisses her like there is no tomorrow. He tells her how he stood up for her and how the producer saw the reason in his argument. Rowena leads Doug to the kitchen where a slice of his favorite blueberry pie alamode sits at his place at the table.
She says, “I’d never have let our marriage wilt just because of that girl. It wasn’t your fault after all that your producer had misgivings about us. But you just made me the happiest wife in Hollywood by standing your ground for me. Now let’s share this pie for goodness sakes and share the same space on the bed tonight for a dessert better than pastry.”
“If we cuddle then you’ll be less likely to hog the blankets.”
“Guilt tripper! We’ll both be too sweaty for sheets. At least I don’t steal your pillow. And your sweat will have a cooling sensation made more so by the ceiling fan. Would you like me to check your blood pressure first as usual?”
“And my body temperature.”
“Oh, Doug checking your blood pressure is so sexy. And when you take the thermometer in your mouth my own body heat goes up. You never had hypertension but putting that monitor cuff around your bicep and watching it inflate gives me a turn on like I’m in the presence of the incredible hulk.”
