The party was at Mondo’s house, as it always was, almost every weekend, and especially holidays. But it wasn’t like I went there all the time, every once in a while sufficed. And of course you were always there when I was, most of the time anyway, and when you weren’t it just wasn’t the same. I kind of felt it was the same with you.
Vodka and orange juice in one hand I asked you how you were enjoying the party.
“Typical Mondo party.” You said.
“Yeah, that about sums it up, don’t it,” I stated as a fact. The typical Mondo party consisting of the usual keg of beer or two, the occasional joint being passed around, Lacey and I politely refusing as usual as well, the rare line of coke being snorted off the mirror in the bedroom or the crack being smoked in the basement by toothless addicts, but we stayed away from all of that shit, us and a few others as well. And of course the ever present blue clouds of cigarette smoke hanging thick in the air.
“Alright everybody, Donny’s gonna headbang for us!” cried Mondo over the cacophony of multiple conversations. Mondo slipped the disc of 1,000 Homo DJ’s in and the cover of Black Sabbaths
Supernaut
started up.
“That’s my que, enjoy the show!” I called to Lacey as I went to the middle of the livingroom where the usual guests who had seen me headbang knew to clear away a rough circle.
“If I don’t join you!” she called after, which sent my mind running with scenarios.
The music started up and so did I, turning my whole body into a writhing machine of hair whipping around and gesticulating hands. Going through the motions as the song went through its own transitions. Several minutes later the song ended and so did I, the few others who had joined me stopping as well, a different few from the ones who had started with me, not having the stamina to keep up with the frantic pace the song set. But of course, I had the stamina.
Hair a tangled mess and my second vodka and orange juice in hand I chatted it up with fellows I knew always keeping an eye on where Lacey was, and she on me. Our secret relationship, unknown even to us, had been going on for quite some time, for several months as a matter of fact. Every once in awhile Mondo would approach me with the well used line of, ‘So when you and Lacey going to hit off?’ and I would wonder what he was talking about, even though subconsciously I must have known, deep down I must have known.
Mondo wanting more headbanging put on Nine Inch Nails ‘Broken’, and played it from the beginning. Once I heard
Pinion
I knew what was up and went to the familiar place in the center of the living room and the familiar rough circle was made,
Pinion
finished and went directly into
Wish
and so did I, thrashing and contorting my body to the industrial rhythm as Trent Reznor screamed out his emotional pain.
Wish
bled into
Last
and I followed thrusting my body in an innuendo, I caught Lacey watching and smiled and she mirrored it, nodding her head to the beat of the music that I was doing a self-controlled moshing to.
Last
ended and so did I. Another vodka and orange juice in hand and I was thoroughly buzzed with a good jag going.
A fight broke out on the porch where the kegs were kept and a guy was clotheslined off the porch and into the bushes below. As a result of this a small fight broke out in the street of which Mondo was a part and some party crashers were sent packing.
Later a wet tee-shirt contest was held and several girls submitted to the depravity of having beer poured over their shirts making them transparent and their breasts revealed.
“I suppose guys like you enjoy this sort of thing?” Lacey asked appearing at my elbow.
“Me? No. But it’s interesting enough to keep my attention. It doesn’t really do anything for me, how about you?” I asked as I took a drink from my vodka and orange juice.
“Me? God, no.” and she laughed and I laughed with her.
Mondo must have needed another fix of headbanging because another Nine Inch Nails went into the disc player, The
Closer
remixes, in this instance
Closer (Further Away)
began to play, and me and my tangled hair went obediently to the living room space.
“You know how much of a pain in the ass it is to comb all this shit out, motherfucker!” I called out to Mondo who just laughed, and I laughed as well. The song revved up literally and so did I, sexually thrusting my body to the beat and the rhythm. Halfway through the song Lacey was before me and we dirty danced my hands on her hips and pushing my groin against her. She turned around and I held her stomach while I pushed myself against her backside. She leaned forward and I held onto her shoulders still pushing against her firm backside. There were whoops and yells from the crowd as we continued doing these sexual motions until the song ended. She turned to me and my drunken dizziness and laughed as she slung her arms around my neck and planted a kiss on my cheek, also, noticeable to me anyway, she rubbed against my groin hard and impatient. My mind flew away without me and Lacey flew from my arms to go greet a friend who had just arrived leaving me confused as all fuck.
Also arriving was Laddy, the Irish Bastard, born in America and grown up in Ireland. So thick with accent he made everyone laugh as he asked for a light for his fag. Of course Laddy was dressed up like some overgrown Leprechaun and asking the ladies if they wanted some of his Lucky Charms, they’re ‘Magically Delicious’!
My last vodka and orange juice drained I realized my limit and went to Mondo.
“Dude, I need someone to drive me home, I’m all fucked up.” I said.
“No problem dude, I’ll hook you up.” And he shouted to the crowd asking if someone was sober enough to drive me home. Lacey was there and saying she could do it, she had only had Pepsi to drink, but she didn’t have a car.
“You can drive mine,” I said.
“Alright, problem solved.” Mondo said triumphantly and left us.
“Where are your keys?” Lacey asked.
“In my pocket,” and I tried to fish for them, she saw my lack of coordination, and took my hand out of my pants and put hers in. Not only did she find my keys as I stood there being frisked, but she found something else as well that she gave a pleasant rub.
“Found them!” she said triumphantly.
“That wasn’t all you found.” I said and we laughed.
She led the way out of Mondo’s house and I followed. On the way I shook hands with and hugged various friends and acquaintances promising that we would do this again, meaning hook up at one of Mondo’s parties.
