Groveling at Your Feet — Melinda Blackstone-Livingston, Meg Bumgartner, Norma Shelby and George Kirk

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Meg asked angrily.

At George’s suggestion, I called Meg and asked her if she would Skype with me. Apparently it was still early in the morning, and I think I may have woken her up, which was strike number one. It couldn’t be helped. I needed her to fly out here and help me clear my name. But first, I had to get her to listen to me.

“Would I be groveling at your fucking feet if I were fucking kidding you?” That wasn’t the way I wanted to ask for her help, but she has always had a way of bringing out the worst in me.

“Chrissie finds you with another woman and you’re only lame excuse is that you don’t remember it?”

I could hear the sarcasm dripping from her words.

“Are you listening to me? Someone is setting me up and I don’t know why. No, I don’t remember what happened. I don’t remember being in that pool room or on that pool table with another woman. I love Chris too much to do something as disgusting as that. I would never hurt her like that.”

George jumped in and added his reasoning behind my memory loss. “Meg, I believe her. Blackie has done some questionable things in her life—”

“You’re not helping, George,” I said desperately.

“Let me finish,” George demanded. “I’ve known Blackie all her life and she has never done anything like this before. I remember that pink-haired girl Chris found her with. She’s from Blackie’s college days. She was wild, uninhibited, and didn’t care who she fucked.”

“And what the hell does that have to do with anything?” Meg asked.

George replied, “Because, Blackie broke it off with her when she tried to extort money from her. Maybe this is some kind of payback?”

“Oh, my, God. I had forgotten about that,” I said, more to myself than anyone else. Tori was a handful, even for me, but I enjoyed her lovemaking. It was, as George said, uninhibited. Tori had several girlfriends, and sometimes I’d get together with a few of them and make out, which was fun, but I preferred Tori to myself. No place was off limits for sex. Which added credence to how I ended up on that pool table. Oh, shit! No, I wouldn’t be there willingly, no way.

“And how did she do that?” Meg asked.

“She somehow got pictures of me at an um, uh, at a frat party,” I said. I couldn’t believe that I was embarrassed. Before I met Chris, I would have bragged about hosting an orgy party, but now I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud in front of Norma.

“And what happened to the alleged pictures?” Meg asked condescendingly.

I had just begun to win Meg’s respect, and now she hated me again. Even when she proved me innocent, she would still hate me. In a strange way, I respect her for that.

“She threatened to send them to my father, and I laughed at her,” I explained.
