Being "That" Guy

"I don't have time for this nonsense," I moaned, getting up and rubbing my jaw. I scowled at the Slug, then Vicky, then bent and retrieved my hat.

"Aha! I knew it," said the Slug. "You're having an affair, aren't you? Go on, admit it." Jowls like cottage cheese wobbled under his weak chin and his whole body shook with anger, with hurt, and with fear too. He wasn't the kind of man to go around hitting others, that wasn't his world.

"This is Arthur! Of course we aren't having an affair. You're the one having an affair," accused Vicky.

The Slug just stood there, mouth opening and closing. Yeah, he was as shocked by the news as I'd been. "Me? Have you seen me? Who would I have an affair with?" He had her there.

"I'm not gonna be that guy. I'm not getting stuck in the middle of this. You two sort it out, one way or another. And, Harry, I'll give you a pass on the punch, just one, but never hit me again. Vicky's your wife, but my friend, and your relationship is your own business, not mine. But we aren't up to anything, nothing, er, intimate anyway." Damn, that wasn't making things better.

"You're always with my wife." The Slug was deflated, but he had a point.

"Yeah, well, how about this?" I was in two minds about saying anything, but me and keeping my opinions to myself never agreed, so here it came anyway. "How about you start work at a proper time in the morning, finish at a respectable time, and spend the weekends with your family?"

"I have a job, I have to work."

"Bollocks. If your job eats up all your time then find a new one, but I know you, I know you're good at it, and the company would be lost without you. So work proper hours and stop moaning about it. Whatever, I'm out of here."

"Arthur, wait!" Vicky grabbed me but I shook her off.

"This is your mess, get it sorted. One hour, I'll be in the car. Then I'm gone." I stormed past the Slug, no easy thing as he was as wide as the hall, and I couldn't help but notice his skin was the color of their pale cream carpet. Damn, he was worse than the vampires.

He slammed the door shut behind me.

Beautiful peace greeted me as I walked to my car. A few of the neighbors were watching from behind net curtains. Let 'em look, it'd teach Vicky a lesson. In the car I sighed and leaned back into the seat. I was coming to the conclusion that Vicky was a terrible choice for a sidekick.
