Ben's wife speaking out loudly from the kitchen, "Hey bae, could you run to the store and grab a loaf of bread? I want to make some PB&Js sandwiches."
"Yeah, babe," Ben replied, shocked at the perfect timing. He'd been looking for any reason to get out the house, and this was it. As he grabbed his keys to walk out the door, he stopped and made a quick text:
"I don’t have long baby, OMW".
His phone vibrated almost immediately with a response.
"Ok Ben babe," his mistress replied.
Ben started smiling as he sent back a kissing emoji. This was going to be better than he thought.
Mistress: "Can't wait 😏”.
A few minutes later, Ben pulled up to his mistress's apartment complex. Eager with anticipation, he sent her a text:
"Hey beautiful I'm at the gate buzz big daddy in so I can unclog your plumbing!"
His face turned upside down when he read the reply:
"We don't have no damn gate. Who the hell are you texting? Who you trying to unclog? You cheating son of a….."
Ben knew he missed up. He realized that he had texted his wife instead of his mistress. Scrambling, he tried to take control of the situation:
"Baby it was a joke?"
His phone vibrated again, this time with a message from his mistress:
"I’m waiting where are you?"
Before he could respond, another text from his wife appeared:
"Damn so that’s why you been going out to the store all the time. You was going to see her. Well, you can take the loaf of bread to her cause that’s where you will be staying."
With trembling fingers, he texted back in a desperate plea:
"Damn! Baby I'm sorry!, it’s not like that"
As he sat in front of his mistress apartment, the bread on passenger seat and head in his hands, Ben realized he'd made a mistake that couldn’t be "unclogged".
