Halloween is my most favorite holiday, a natural fit for a girl who loves to dress up. I had struggled to decide on a costume this year and resolved the struggle by selecting two; one to wear out to the bar that has an annual costume contest, the other was just for my neighbor. My private "costume" was a stretch of the imagination, but one I thought my sweetie may enjoy.
Unfortunately, my neighbor is not as enthusiastic about Halloween as I am and refused to dress up with me, but he had fun getting drunk at the party nonetheless. I had chosen to be an 80's zombie wearing a handmade "Homecoming Queen 1988" sash, had on a colorful teased and sprayed wig, tattered Pretty in Pink dress, more than 30 colorful bangle bracelets, clunky rings, and scrunched, matching light pink leg warmers that covered the top of hideous white leather high heels; I came in second place. Honestly, the guy who transformed himself into "Pyramid Head" from the Silent Hill video games totally deserved the win. Even people who did not know the character were freaked out by him, kudos for creativity.
We walked home quickly as it was freezing by the time we left the bar. Once home I told my neighbor to wait for me on the couch and I staggered into my room, removed my zombie outfit/make-up and changed into the costume I was saving for him.
I pulled my hair into pig tails and put on an oversized white deep V neck tee that hit me right at my upper thigh, no bra. I had pink bikini cut flowered cotton panties and grabbed a little stuffed lamb that I have had since childhood. I headed out into the living room, and went straight past my neighbor bending over in front of him to turn on the DVD player and television. Not looking at him I said sweetly, "My mom said while you are babysitting, I could stay up and watch Cinderella."
I heard such a hearty laugh from behind me I had to turn my head and give him a quick wink. I grabbed the remote and headed over to sit on the couch with my neighbor who was still laughing. Sitting down next to him I held the lamb in my lap and batted my eyes at him while the DVD warnings were displayed. His eyes went straight to the screen as the title menu came up with snippets of hardcore images behind a play menu for a porn version of the classic children's tale.
His cheeks were flushed partially from still adjusting from the cold outside, but also because I think he was interested, but perhaps a tad bit uncomfortable with the whole scenario I had set for us.
"Uh," my neighbor blurted trying to stay composed, "I don't think your mom would be happy with you watching this version."
"Why not," I questioned eagerly.
"Well," he struggled to get out without laughing, "How old are you again?"
I rolled my eyes and pressed play on the remote. "I'm innocently alluring, age doesn't matter, just that I am of pure heart.....and body."
"Oh," he laughed. "Hmmmmmm."
I snuggled with my lamb against the arm of the couch as the story began to unfold on the screen. Alright not much of a story really, but I kept eyeing my neighbor as he shifted his position several times on the couch a whole cushion away from me. I knew he would play along, but obviously I had to get him into it.
Watching the main character engaged in a forced kiss with her wicked step-mother, the step mother's hand making her cry out as she roughly fingered her twat, I looked at my neighbor and our eyes met. "What is it like to kiss a girl, do you do it like that, or is it more like....other movies."
Beaming, his eyes averted mine as he raised his eyebrows and said, "Depends on the girl."
"Really," I questioned. "What kind of girl am I, how would you kiss me?"
He laughed and leaned in and said quietly, "I do not want to answer that, I'm supposed to be watching you, not talk to you about how I would kiss you."
