Jamaica, 23 December 2012
Andy Benedict had just landed in Kingston, and he was already overwhelmed. He had never been out of the country before, and it was so different to him. So vibrant, crowded. Everyone spoke English of course, but that was not why he was nervous. This trip was the craziest thing he'd ever been a part of. He still couldn't believe he was doing this.
He still couldn't believe he won.
Two Months Previous
Andy was sitting at home, alone as usual. He lived alone and only really went out when his friends called him up. It was Tuesday and there were no bar trips tonight. So Andy was doing what most people do. Streaming shows on the TV and watching porn on his laptop. This was pretty normal for a weeknight for him. While "tooling" around his favorite site, he saw a streamer on the top.
"Holidays with the Stars!!"
This got Andy's attention a bit. Mostly out of boredom, he did what he never did. He clicked on a porn ad.
"Win the vacation that all men cream over! You could win a chance to spend Christmas and New Year's with 15 of your favorite porn stars!! You will fly first class to Jamaica and then be ferried to a grand villa via helicopter! You and your favorite stars will spend the holidays playing, exploring, swimming, boating, and "getting to know each other" all while enjoying warm tropical weather! Enter now for a chance for to have a holiday vacation Santa would be jealous of!"
A vacation with porn stars! It didn't name any, but it was still interesting. One thought was first.
No way this is as good as it sounds.
Then came the other thought.
Why not try?
Andy signed up using a dummy e-mail that he only used for porn verification. He had to give a phone number, which he wasn't crazy about; but he was moving after New Years' anyway and it wouldn't follow him there. He then went back to perusing his favorites, finishing off, then sleep.
One Month Previous
Andy was getting packed for his trip to Mom's for Thanksgiving dinner. He just about had everything in the bag when his phone rang. He didn't recognize the number but decided to pick up anyway. Andy sometimes got a kick out of annoying telemarketers.
"Hello?"
"Hi there, is this Andy Benedict?"
"Yes, it is, may I ask who's calling?"
"Andy, this is Bob Logan with Adult Metro Promotions. I'm calling to tell you that you are the lucky winner of the "Holidays with the Stars" contest!!!"
Andy blinked a couple of times in disbelief. He'd completely forgotten that he signed up for the damn thing.
"Oh, oh wow. Thank you."
"Absolutely, Andy! I'm sure you're very excited. Just a few quick things we need to go over, if you have some time?"
"Uh, yeah. Go ahead."
"Andy, first I need to ask you, do you have a passport?"
"Yes, I do."
"Great! And do you still live on Long Island?"
"Yes, Huntington."
"Fantastic! We are going to be sending you an e-mail in the next couple of minutes with a medical form. We need you to be checked for any STD's or anything else, before we book your tickets. There will be a list of approved doctors local to you and the tests will be done at no cost. Once we have the form back from the doctor's office. You'll be good to go!!"
Andy politely finished the call and hung up. He was in shock. He grabbed his laptop and opened up the mailbox of his dummy account. Sure enough, there was a medical form and several local doctors. He saw one was right down the street and gave them a call. They were able to get him in right away, so he printed out the form and headed over. They took blood and ran through all the tests necessitated by the form. The receptionist said that they would send it off as soon as the results were in. Thankfully, the form didn't say what it was for or who the company was.
Two Days Later
Andy was sitting at Mom's enjoying a cup of iced tea after a nice lunch. His mom always took care of him when he was home, when she wasn't pushing him to date more or give him grief about moving all the way to Las Vegas early next year. He was nice and polite about it all, but still hadn't told Mom about the contest. He wanted to wait until the test results were came in before upsetting her. It wasn't like Andy thought he had an STD; he was just being extra cautious. Plus he figured it would be easier to break this news to Mom over the phone.
Suddenly his phone rang, and Andy recognized the number from the other day. He told his mom that a work call was coming in and would need to take it outside.
"Hello?"
"Andy! Its Bob Logan again with Adult Metro, how's your Thanksgiving?!"
"Good, thank you. Yours?"
"Couldn't be better! You have a few minutes to talk?"
"Sure."
"Great! I'm calling to let you know that we just got the test results in and you are all clear to go! We're gonna send you an e-mail on your flight information. It'll be a first-class direct flight from LaGuardia to Kingston where you'll be met by me to be taken over to the villa. Now there will be four other gentlemen going along on this trip. They are the paid customers, but don't worry there won't be any distinction in how you're treated. When you arrive, I'll have you sign a contract of conduct and other things, and you'll get to meet the other gentleman there!"
"Ok, is there a way I could get a copy of that contract before so I can just give it a quick review?"
"Absolutely! I'll send a copy to you as soon as I get off the phone."
That made Andy feel a bit better about all of this. They shared a few more pleasantries and ended the call. A few minutes later, Andy got an e-mail with the contract. He looked it over and saw nothing out of the ordinary. There was nothing about cameras in the house or some kind of surprises awaiting, which is what worried him to start with.
Time to tell Mom......
Kingston
Andy kept heading through the terminal until he saw a large gentleman in a suit holding a sign with his name on it.
"Excuse me, sir. I'm Andy."
"Hello, Mr. Benedict, I'm Jerome. Could I see your identification really quick please?"
He reached into the bag and pulled out the passport that he had just used for the first time 10 minutes ago. Andy handed it to Jerome who looked it over and checked it to his face. He then smiled and handed it back.
"Thank you, sir. Will you follow me please?"
