[cloudwatcher] - Afterparty With Favor
(That was so much fun! I said...)
...and to think I’d wanted to back out! After the party was over and most of the guests had gone home, we all sat around talking and joking about some of the weird shit we’d seen during the night. Ali asked me how many Os I’d had, and I realized that I’d lost count. I glanced over at Janet and she had this big ass grin on her face. Yeah, OK, ya got me. Being the party favor had been a blast. Not that I’d be volunteering again any time soon.
Janet went over to Lucas, leaned down and whispered something to him. They both looked back at me with mischief in their eyes. Uh oh...
[cloudwatcher] - Bad Girl Natalie
(Bad Girl Natalie) "Hey Nat, I'm thinking of calling that intro pic of you 'Bad Girl Natalie'. You OK with that?"
"Why don't you just call it 'Evil Bitch'?"
"That seems a bit harsh..."
"You would NOT be the first guy to call me that, believe me."
"You're not really evil though are you? I mean yeah, you can be a bit of a tease..."
"That's almost insulting, Cloud! I am a world-class tease. I have a sadistic streak a mile wide. And I'm not ashamed of it either."
"Well... Maybe you're just misunderstood."
"I am misunderstood. Mostly because I hide stuff and lie alot. Makes it hard to understand me. Which is the point. But look, go with Bad Girl if you want. You're not wrong. So this is my intro? What are you going to post about me next?"
"I'm open to suggestions."
"Did I tell you about the time I went home with that guy Stewart?"
"No."
"Oooh. Click submit, get me a glass of wine, and I'll tell you alllll about it..."
[cloudwatcher] - By The Beautiful Sea
(Sparks fly across the sand)
Nile crosses paths with Tulip and Kiernan, and with one glance mutual interest is shared by all.
[cloudwatcher] - Let's Get Drinks!
(The uninhibited get even less inhibited)
The conversation carries Nile, Tulip & Kiernan off to the beach bar where they make themselves comfortable as the sultry summer evening casts its spell.
[cloudwatcher] - Party With Favor
(It’ll be fun! she said...)
...and by now I should know what Janet says that I should run the other way. But somehow she always figures out how to put her thumb right on my fomo button. So I volunteered to be the party favor.
I kinda thought I knew what I was in for, but I wasn’t prepared for how... elaborate Karl’s setup was going to be. When the last link snapped into place and I pulled on those chains I kinda freaked. I was way more exposed and helpless than I’d thought I’d be!
I realized I absolutely could not go through with it. I tried to say something, but the gag was already in my mouth and it just came out as throat noises and drool. I looked at Janet, begging her with my eyes, and I knew she understood what I was asking, but she smiled at me, turned to Karl and the others and said “She wants to know what you’re all waiting for.”
