Page 21 of When You Least Expect It
“Oh, no,” Louise rushed out dramatically as she got to her feet, the other women remaining where they were.“We haven’t even gotten to the prayer segment of our meeting.Surely, you guys will feel differently after we say prayer.You’ll be able to feel His presence working through you, and you’ll never want to go back to a life without Him in it.”
“But we don’t live a life without Him in it, Louise,” I corrected her.“I’ve always believed in God and still do.”
“But...but this is different,” she insisted.“With The Lord guiding Jury’s hand...well, you’ll never experience anything else like it.”
Yeah, this wasn’t a religious cult.
It was a goddamn excuse for an orgy.
No thank you.
Now, while Jury Patton was easy on the eyes, he wasn’t hot enough for me to join a sister/wives situation.Yeah, on paper, he checked off all the boxes of being tall, filled out, and with his dark hair and dark eyes, he really had that whole bedroom vibe going for him.Still, I wasn’t sure if any man was good-looking enough for me to sign up for weekly orgies.Plus, he probably had a small dick, as was the case with most insecure men, and Jury Patton was as insecure as they came.
“While I wish you all the best Louise, this isn’t for me,” I said, repeating Myer’s words.“I’m not one to have my life controlled, and I just refuse to believe that God would want me to live like that.I believe that God wants me to be happy, and tacos make me happy.”
“That’s only because you refuse to open yourself up to the glory that is The Lord,” she kept on.“Being one with Him will make you feel better than any tacos ever could.”
Recognizing an impasse when I saw one, I said, “Louise, Linda, Donna, Gina...I wish you all the best with your spiritual journey, and God bless you.”Looking back at Jury, I really wanted to kick him in the balls, but I didn’t.“Jury, it was interesting meeting you.”
“It was interesting meeting you as well, Calista,” he replied properly.“However, I have a feeling that this isn’t goodbye for us.God’s will cannot be undone, and you are a part of God’s will, whether you realize it or not.”
He really was a tool.
“I believe that we are all part of God’s will, seeing as how He died on the cross forallof us,” I shot back.“I believe that we become part of His plan the second that we’re born, no?”
He let out a lyrical laugh, though it sounded a little bit sinister to my ears, knowing what I now knew of him.“Oh, Calista,” he chuckled.“You really are a delight.”
“I really am,” I agreed, and that was enough to make Myer grab my hand in his.
“It was nice meeting you all,” he lied.“Take care.”
With that, he didn’t even wait for Louise to see us to the door.Instead, Myer practically drug me across the house to get out of there, and I didn’t blame him.We hadn’t even stayed the entire hour, but I already felt like I needed seven showers just to feel clean again.
