“I’ll come David, but I don’t know how long I’m staying.”
“Hot date? That Lisa chick was fine as hell. I hope you’re still with her.”
It had been a couple of weeks since we’d talked about much of anything and I’d broken up with her not too long ago. I never stayed with one girl for very long. She was always missing something and at times, I blamed his sister for that. She’d put it on me that one night and I’d never forgotten it. I don’t know if I wanted to or not, but at the end of the day, it made it hard to move on to something else when everyone else was just suddenly mediocre in my eyes.
“Nah, we broke up a couple of weeks back. She was getting too clingy and kept popping up at the house, wanting to stay over, cook me dinner.”
He made a face and told me how horrible that sounded.
“Shit, if that girl wants to make me a sandwich and sleep naked next to me, I sure the hell wouldn’t have turned that down. Sometimes I just don’t know about you. What the hell are you holding out for? Lisa was hot, cooked, worked, what more could you ask?”
“She just isn’t what I’m looking for.”
“You know you’ve been saying that for years and you’ve never once been able to tell me what it was that it actually meant. What are you looking for?”
I knew, but I couldn’t say it out loud, not to him. It had been for five years that I know of, me finding fault in every girlfriend that I had that didn’t measure up to Callie. Ever since Callie, I knew that none of these women were what I wanted.
At times, I thought that I was wasting both of our times even trying to date or be in a relationship. But then again, I make sure the women are pleased and that was just going to have to be enough. I knew that an orgasm would keep them coming back for more, as well as smooth the rough edges left when I didn’t want to be with them for the long term. Pleasure seemed to be a language that everyone knew and a currency that everyone accepted. I may not be a good boyfriend, but I was always a damn good lover.
“Well she wasn’t what I wanted and none of them are. When you know, you know. I don’t really know what it is that I want, just that I’m not finding it.”
“Or you’re just being too damn picky my friend. You’re not getting any younger and you’ve turned down some goddesses. You’re not going to have too many more chances like that.”
“What about you? You’re still single so why the hell are you giving me grief?”
“Yeah, but not by choice. I’m not single because I’m picky. You know I don’t have that charm and swagger like you do. I never have.”
I chuckled at David and shook my head. He was a good-looking guy, but he had no damn game. Never really had any, but as we got older I noticed that he was too nervous around women. I hoped that this new boost of confidence from the new job, house and money would point him in the right direction and he would be able to talk to a girl that he wasn’t related to and not get tongue-tied.
“You are just too nervous around broads. Their just girls. You got all the money now. There’s no reason for you to be shy anymore. I’m going to invite some old friends and they will invite some of their friends. There will be plenty of women to choose from tonight. All you have to do is go out there and get them.”
“You make it sound so easy.”
“You make it far too complicated. Women are easy. Now that you have all that you have, it will be a whole lot easier.”
That got a smile on his face and I was trying to figure out which ones I could invite. Breakups could be hard, but several of them I still saw on occasion. I didn’t mind the set-up of a friend with benefits. I found it well, beneficially for both of us. There were a couple of women that I kept in touch with and I knew that one of them was going to have a friend that would be perfect for David. Like he said, he isn’t very picky at all.
“Thanks man. You always come through for me. At least I know that you’re not just my friend because of the money. You should see how the people at work are acting now. I don’t like it.”
“I bet. It’s a huge change and they are all wishing like hell that they were you right now. Some are going to be happy for you and some are just going to be jealous. There is really nothing you can do about those people. It’s just the way it is.”
“You should have seen the look that Gary has been giving me. We didn’t really get along before and then I got the promotion to run the line and he was pissed. I can only imagine how he feels now. I made sure to invite him to the party though.”
I asked him why and he had the most devilish grin on his face.
“Can you imagine how mad he’s going to be when he sees my house? It’s fucking massive, I’m telling you. You’re going to love it. It’s crazy.”
I just shook my head at his pettiness. Gary was an asshole though. I was surprised that David was even going to keep him around. It was a good thing that he was the boss now because if he’d acted that way before I was sure that Gary would have kicked his teeth in. He was a big guy and so was David, but David didn’t have the aggression and anger that was required to be a good fighter. I’d learned that the hard way a couple of times. David would try to have my back, but he was never very good at it.
“You’re playing with fire David.”
My friend just smiled like a Cheshire cat and I knew that tonight would be interesting.
“So, does your sister know about it?” I really wanted to know if she was going to be there or not.
“I haven’t said anything to her yet, though I’m sure she doesn’t care. She’s not near as uptight as she seems.”
I smiled to myself and looked down. I knew better than him how his sister was when she let her hair down. I wouldn’t have thought that she was the way she was, but I’d seen Callie in all her free glory. She was quite a woman and I didn’t know what I would do if I had the chance again. Most likely, I would do the same thing that I did before. She was a hard woman to say no to and she was the type of woman that was hard to find a reason to say no to.
“Well you know that I’ll be there. It might be crazy with so many from work, but I’m down for a good party. After this week, hell I think we both need one. I didn’t think that you guys were for real Monday morning when I came in. It’s still kind of surreal.”
He had to agree and I’m sure that his Deja vu was even worse than mine. His whole life had changed, and I was happy for David. He still had his adoptive parents but knowing where he came from had really helped his confidence. I was bound and determined to find him a girlfriend or at least a girl for the night. David needed it about as badly as I did. Too bad that I of course wanted the one woman that I couldn’t have.
Chapter 9
Theodore
Everything was going as planned. I had several friends of mine that came by and they brought a few of their friends to the party as well. I just had to keep the women from talking to each other and realizing what they had in common was me and everything was going to be okay. That was a whole lot of ifs and maybes.
David was right when he said that the place was massive. I’d been in the house a few times to grab more beer and it was the sort of place that a person could wander in and potentially get lost. I had never known someone that had a house so big and I certainly didn’t think I would be friends with someone like that. David’s life had completely changed overnight.
Now it was time for him to start getting some perks from his newfound success and job title. He had the money, now he needed the trophy girlfriend on his arm to complete the set. Linda had a friend named Desiree that I thought would be perfect. She was a little ditzy, but she had legs for days and she had a great sense of humor. That was exactly what David wanted. He needed a girl that wasn’t so serious and didn’t take herself too seriously.
I told Linda that I would be back in a minute with David. She knew that I was trying to set her friend up and she didn’t seem to mind. She did of course think that she was there for a reason that I hadn’t really thought about. I sho
uld have really thought things through bringing several exes here. Linda was still someone I was on good terms with, good terms as soon as a month ago and I knew that I was going to have to shake her off. She thought that she was there for more fun than I was thinking about.
I knew that she wasn’t going to be easy to get rid of, but once I introduced the two, I was hoping to lose her in the crowd. The outside lawn was stacked with people and everyone was getting drunker by the minute. I rationalized that it wouldn’t too hard to get rid of her and then I would be free to find the host and give her some of my attention.
David and Desiree hit it off famously and I was about to head out when Linda stopped me. “We haven’t had any time alone Ted. Don’t you think that we should go inside and find one of those rooms up there that’s empty? Then we can really get this party started the way that I know you like it.”
It was the last thing on my mind, but as I tried to refuse, it became clear that she wasn’t going to go for it. I knew that I wanted to see Callie, but that wasn’t going to happen unless I got rid of Linda. I just didn’t know how to do that with her wanting sex and me not wanting to give it. She started to pull me towards the house and I didn’t know how to say no. it’s not something that a guy like me did that often, and especially not to a hot ass redhead like Linda. She was talented, and she knew she was. She knew just what to do to change my mind and when she grabbed my cock, there was no more thoughts in my head. It wasn’t like I was going to get Callie anyways. She was David’s sister and she was off limits. So, I might as well have some fun, right?
This is what I told myself anyways. My body wasn’t listening to what my mind had to say, not in the least. I was so damn horny, and I had so much pent up stress that I was likely to explode if I didn’t have some relief soon.
***
I really don’t know how the hell I got here. I started this day with the best of intentions and now I was watching Linda gobble my cock up like only she could do. Her green eyes looked up at me and it was one of the hottest things I’d seen in a while. The problem was that it wasn’t her face that I wanted to feed my cock into. Linda was talented, but I still thought about the way that Callie’s tongue had swirled around my dick. She was talented as well in her own way. It wasn’t better or worse, it was just different. Callie made me feel different, whereas Linda just made me want to come.
She was trying to push me along, playing with my balls and murmuring in her throat so that the humming sound was a vibration against my cock that I couldn’t go without. I was so close to coming and I encouraged her to take more and to go faster. I was so damn close that it wasn’t funny. I had to have her right now.
Linda sucked harder and I started to come in between her lips when the door opened, and a shocked Callie stopped at the threshold. We were in one of the bathrooms upstairs, because I wasn’t sure whose room was whose. I thought this would be a safe place, but I certainly hadn’t been thinking enough to have locked the door. I sure the hell wish I had now. Now I could see the look in Callie’s eyes and I didn’t know what to say.
The woman in between my legs was still sucking me dry and I couldn’t get her to stop. I pushed back on her and she just held on tight. Linda wanted all of it, that’s what she told me before. I looked back to the doorway and Callie looked to be frozen in place. She was shocked at what she saw.
“Stop Linda, damn.”
Linda finally opened her eyes and pulled me out from between her lips. “Why are you rushing me? You know I want every drop.”
I rolled my eyes and I grimaced that she had said that out loud. I wanted to hope that her comment hadn’t been heard, but I really wasn’t sure. The woman that I was worried about was gone and I was left alone in the bathroom with Linda still on her knees.
“Sorry, I just have to go.”
I didn’t want to come up with anything better. I just wanted to get out of there. That was my prime, if not only objection that I had. I had to get away from Linda and try to explain myself to Callie. I shouldn’t have to, not really but I’d saw the look in her eyes when she’d seen me. I had to say something to her.
She said something as I was leaving, but I really wasn’t listening. I should have known better, but damn it if I could say no to Linda. Not when there wasn’t anything but hope holding me back. If I thought that I had a chance with Callie before, I knew that I’d most likely just blown that chance and that upset me more than anything else. Linda was good, and it had felt good, but it wasn’t worth it. Not if that meant that I wasn’t going to get to have Callie again. Had I just fucked it up for one blowjob?
I got back outside and saw Callie by David. I walked up to them, overhearing her before she saw me and stalked off in the other direction. I didn’t get to say anything, explain myself, though I don’t know what the hell I could really say for myself. I mean, I’d had my cock balls deep in Linda and that wasn’t something that I could just talk my way out of. I was smooth, but I wasn’t that smooth.
“Look David, I don’t care if you have your friends over. This is your place as much as it is mine, but can you please keep your friend’s out of my bathroom! I don’t want them having sex on my sink. Do you know how disgusting that is?”
David grinned at me and shrugged his shoulders like Callie had lost her mind. He seemed concerned for a minute, but it was clear that his mind was on other things.
“I told everyone to stay out of the house, but you know how people are. I wonder what they were doing to have her so damn uptight? I don’t think I’ve ever seen her like that before. Do you think she caught a couple people in her bathroom doing it? I bet that was a sight!”
I shrugged. Nonchalantly like I had no idea what he was talking about. I wasn’t going to admit it, not now. I felt like an idiot and the last thing that I wanted to do was admit that I was the one that had been caught with my dick in someone. Of course, that had to be her bathroom. There was probably ten of them in this place and I had picked hers.
“I don’t know. You know how people are. There’s no telling.”
David agreed, already pushing it out of his mind and grabbing another drink for Desiree. He was smitten and walked back to her with a smile on her face. My smile was gone. I watched Callie drive off after a few minutes of catching me and I kicked myself the whole way home. There was no point in being here now.
Chapter 10
Callie
I don’t know why the hell I was so mad. But I was. Tears were streaming down my face as fast as the little red sports car could go. I had this hole in the pit of my stomach that didn’t want to go away. I kept telling myself that I was stupid for getting so emotional. I’d already decided that I wasn’t going to do anything with Teddy. It would have been weird, but now I knew that I was just fooling myself. I wanted him to be available and I wanted a moment like before, maybe more.
I had been foolish, playing out scenarios in my head, all to find out that I was far off from what reality was. He didn’t want me. He wasn’t thinking about me as I was thinking about him and I felt like a dumbass. There was no sugar coating it. That’s just how I felt, and I knew that there was no way that I was going to be able to face him again. It was going to be hard because he worked at the factory and was now present at meetings, but I knew that I wouldn’t want to be around him anymore than that.
The car took me where I wanted to go and instead of just going home or even getting a hotel room, that urge was back to drink away the thoughts in my head and it wasn’t the first time that I wished Eve wasn’t a domestic goddess now.
I called her on the off chance that she would be able to come, but I knew the answer before I dialed. She was at home with her husband and kids and I didn’t blame her for not wanting to go anywhere. It would be a more pleasurable way to finish my day as well. I tried not to envy her, but it was hard. Eve had it all. I didn’t even start thinking about relationships and forever until I saw her so happy. Now Teddy popped back up and it had been easy to think that it was all
fated.
Well fate sucked and now I was going to go get drunk.
***
“Hey bro, can you come get me?”
“Where are you? I thought you were here at the party?”
“No, I’m at a bar downtown.” I told him the name of it after I asked the bartender and he had to repeat it twice. I’d had too much, and I just wanted to get home and into my own bed. That’s all I could think about right now. I was thankful for such short-term thoughts. The rest of them just got me in trouble.
“Well look Callie, I hate to do this, but there’s this girl and I don’t want to leave. She’s hot, interested, but the wolves are circling. I’m going to send someone over there. They’ll be there in a minute.”
I wanted to ask him who. I wouldn’t say I didn’t want his friend Teddy out loud, but I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t him. David was a bit buzzed himself by the sound of it and he had hung up before I could get anything else out. There was a moment where I wondered if it would be better to just grab a cab, so I didn’t have to see him. I was that sure that I didn’t want to see Teddy again. I knew that we had to work together, but that didn’t mean that I was ready to see him tonight. Tonight, I would have too much to say because my lips were looser than usual.
Calling the cab company, they said they would be ten or fifteen minutes. I asked for them to come as soon as they could and looked out front to see if there were any out front or coming down the road. I didn’t see anything, and I groaned out loud. I had to get out of here.
My debate was now to just walk until I found a cab or got home. It was a long way, but I reasoned that the walk would probably wake me up a little bit if nothing else. I most likely needed it after drinking as much as I did.
Deciding, I started walking down the side of the street as straight as I possibly could. I wasn’t tore up or anything, but I didn’t think that I should be driving. Walking was proving a little harder and I walked slower than usual.
