Pensive Beaudry, Punished.
Beaudry was a little startled when she ran into Arline Zanotti on the corner of Nestertchouk and Colonel T. Varnum Buttermilk Circle.
Arli had gained a good fifteen pounds but the cheap glitter lip gloss and the smirking pouty mouth was so familiar...and the grotesque beehive hairdo.
"Arli, how-how nice to see you."
Arli smiled. "Is it?" Then, seeing Beaudry's face fall, she patted Beaudry on the arm. "I'm just joshin' sweetie, Hop you're doin' okay. This near your job an' all that?"
"More near my house." Beaudry said with a bit of a pained smile. She wasn't crazy about seeing Arline, but Beaudry knew she had to be polite.
God, the woman shouldn't be wearing such a tight top, must be bands of steel holding those jugs up. Beaudry had seen Arli naked, and those boobs fell practically to the knees.
Erielle, Beaudry's assistant crossed the street behind them and wrinkled her nose at Beaudry like...who's the dirtbag?
Beaudry was Vice President of Web Development at her firm, and Arline was what, a waitress?
Funnily, Arline seemed to be reading Beaudry's mind.
"Yeah, I'm still at the Oil-Burner. Y'all don't seem to come in there no more." Of course Arline knew why.
"Well, after you and Preston--you know, decided to live together without me--" When you threw me out in the front yard of the house I'd paid for, naked with a dog collar in the rain-"Well it seemed prudent to avoid--"
Beaudry coughed. "I didn't want us to be uncomfortable.
I did enjoy the Oil-Burner's T-bone steaks--" Except when you served them to me with cigarette butts sticking out of them--"but I'm vegan now. And of course I've given up gluten."
Remember when Arli and that other waitress Cerise tied me up in the back room of the Oil Burner and shoved hot meatballs up my twat?
I'm a big deal. I have a window office in the Bethencourt Building and this ridiculous sow of a waitress is effing with my head.
Look, Tyrmand The Vermin, our grossest mail clerk is smoking on the corner, sneering, probably thinking that Arli is spare-changing me.
So why don't I just spin on my high heel and walk away?
I can't be afraid of this silly old bitch, Beaudry reflected. Just yesterday I was instrumental in assisting with the corporate takeover of the Knestout conglomerate...and that was out of my expertise, being a computer scientist. But I'm tough and brilliant, my bosses tell me so every day...
But Beaudry could see the old contempt in Arli's eyes, beneath that horribly vulgar Seventies applied shadow.
Beaudry remembered how Arli's eyes would gleam as she'd order Beaudry to shave her crotch and then forced her to stand, hands on her head as Arli pulled the stray hairs out as Preston roared with laughter.
"Didja ever get rid of them pockmarks on your back thighs, honey?" Arline asked helpfully, her double chin bouncing with humor. "I think plastic surgery could help."
Beaudry looked at her feet. Stop this. It's been nearly eight years since you were licking t his bitch's oversized, smelly twat, sucking her bloody tampons and being kicked around by her and your supposedly loving husband.
Why do I feel ridiculous around this woman? I've won the Schmalzbauer Award, the highest tech honor given by the Buttermilk Falls Design Committee. I head volunteer groups, am a senior warden in my church, and I'm in damned fabulous shape.
Sure, that bitch Spruill Edrine, sneers at me because after I beat her in the 2012 racquetball tournaments at the Club, Arli made me bend over for a racquet whipping from Spruill and then I had to go down on her in the locker room.
And then was forced to blow Neuwirth Miggs, the creepy locker room attendant, oh that had been a banner afternoon. I think Neuwirth had crotch fleas.
But I moved my schedule to Tuesday and Friday workouts, when Spruill's not there.
I've made my way up in Buttermilk Falls Society, what there is of it...moved to Swithenbank Square, the ritziest neighborhood in all Buttermilk Falls.
Beaudry thought of this rapidly. It was a long way from being daughter of loser Pollard Polinger, a bookie-slash-rodeo clown-lead singer of "Broken Fishbowl"(and then less successfully back up roadie for the "Neon Nomads" and "Datin' Satan")
After her Dad's O.D., Beaudry had quit her hometown, Stennheiser, the sinkhole of the area, to take a scholarship at Buttermilk Falls Teacher's College, it was on the other side of the state, and Beaudry had been grateful for that.
Beaudry had gotten out of poverty. Had Arline?
Arli probably lives in the Buttermilk Narrows STILL. She did the last time I Googled her. She had this roomie in her Facebook profile, sort of a sad looking chick called "Claveau" and I could tell by Clav's earring that she was a member of the Paincafe's Thumbscrew Society.
Claveau looked to be a quivering submissive...I began diddling myself and feeling so envious. Dr. Aurelian suggested shocking myself every time I wanted to fantasize, but of course that excited me even more.
Beaudry ruminated...
What did this cow have over Beaudry? Was it a sickness, masochism?
This had been a problem for Beaudry even before she'd married Master Preston and then encountered his cruel assistant Arline.
In college, Beaudry's sorority sister Elice had been quite a sadistic bitch. "You didn't iron my blouse, Beaudie Bitch-let. Take down your panties and bring me the carpet beater."
But even when Elice was leaving Beaudry alone, Beaudry would seek her out--insult Elice, provoke her.
And Elice had certainly returned the favor, ensuring that Beaudry serve as a bullied pledge long after her fellow pledges had become full fledged Kappa Psi sisters.
Indeed, for four full years Elice, a frosty blonde, had encouraged new pledges to take turns whipping Beaudry's poor buttocks and making the full fledged sisters serve them, nude and weeping!
And, Beaudry had gone through a sub period. After the divorce she'd seen Lady Zeitlin, who casually would burn little rings on the inside of Beaudry's thigh with her car cigarette lighter.
Zeit had known how to make Beaudry collapse with masochistic joy.
So could she really blame Preston and Arline that much? Initially, even before the honeymoon, Beaudry had asked Preston to spank and dominate her, and when she'd discovered Pres couldn't keep it in his pants, she'd asked him to bring the girls home.
In an unguarded moment, Preston had discovered that there was nothing more erotically humiliating for his wife than being forced to serve the girls he cheated on her with.
Especially if the said women were quite low class and vulgar.
And it had turned out that Arline had quite the fertile imagination.
Beaudry recalled how Arlie had brought her daughters over, pouting sluts in their early twenties, and the girls, roaring with laughter had shoved an imitation horse tail up Beaudry's ass.
What were their names? Alayna and Velissa and Soleil, and how they seemed to hate Beaudry!
Arline had discovered that Beaudry had been employing an intern at work, teaching her about the world of web design.
