No one likes to get caught sitting around alone on a Friday night, so Ray paused as long as he could stand to before opening the door. His neighbor from a couple doors down was standing on his stoop with a bit of a grin. He already had the hots for her, but her grin made his stomach tug at his groin even more. He turned on the light to see better.
"Hi, do you remember me? I live on the corner there," she pointed up the street.
"Oh yeah, I remember you." Ray plowed. "Uh, you're..."
"Tina," she finished through her grin.
"Right, right," Ray replied.
"I feel a little stupid," Tina shifted her stance, "but we're having a little trouble with a blown breaker or something. Well, the real problem is," Tina paused looking slightly embarrassed, "that we don't have a single flashlight in the house.
"No problem," Ray offered. "I'll just get my light."
"Thanks so much. I'm really sorry to bother you in the evening. On a Friday, no less."
"Oh, don't worry. It's still early," Ray said trying to appear 'booked' for the night.
Tina let Ray lead into her house. Ray jumped as his light caught a woman sitting in the middle of the living room floor amidst a pile of mobile phone parts.
"Hi. I'm Ronnie, Tina's roommate."
Ray introduced himself and let his light linger on her a little too long. He realized that she was also very cute like Tina. Ronnie looked back at Ray waiting for him to say something, and when it appeared he was lost, she flashed a quick smile and looked back down at her pile of phone parts. This jogged Ray and he asked Tina to show him to the breaker box.
"I guess it's in the basement. Haven't needed to find it before now."
Tina and Ray found a fuse box in the basement. Not having spare fuses, Ray went home to get one from his place.
"Thanks, Ray, so much for coming over. It's so stupid not to have a flashlight," Tina said apologetically.
"Really, it's no problem. Glad to help." He turned to Ronnie, "Trying to fix your phone?" Ray began to notice phone parts strewn about but connected with wires.
"Uh, yeah. Well, screwing around with it," Ronnie answered.
"What are you making?"
"Just screwing around with it."
"Huh. OK, good luck. I'll see you later."
"Thanks again, Ray," Tina shot out.
********
A week later Tina found Ray home again. "I'm so sorry, but could you come over again with your flashlight. Looks like we blew another fuse."
"No problem," Ray jumped at the opportunity to help these women again. This time he brought a fuse with him. Only one fuse, though, so he could always come back again.
Hoping to see Ronnie again, Ray scanned the living room casually trying to appear to be looking for the basement door. This time he found pile of colorful objects on the floor and Ronnie's bare leg so he quickly found her head so he could say hello. But the light was right in her eyes, so he snapped it down again while saying, "Hi." Everyone stopped for a second to take in the colorful sight of the pile of dildos next to Ronnie's bare leg, bent up slightly at the knee.
"Oops," chirped Tina.
No one moved. Before Ray had the sense to pull the light away, he noticed that Ronnie was wearing a long t-shirt, and nothing more for certain.
Ronnie shifted uncomfortably, but didn't move to cover the pile of rubber cocks.
Tina interrupted, "The basement's over this way."
"Oh, right," Ray stumbled. He was still taking in the scene, or at least as many of the permutations of the few facts that he could. He followed Tina to the basement door and descended. He was feeling very warm, and anxious. He wanted very badly to know what he'd missed before the lights went out. And while he couldn't believe this was happening, he was painfully certain he wouldn't see it finish.
As he screwed the new fuse into its socket, he tried to imagine Ronnie naked, and using a dildo. He wondered if she had a favorite color. Aware of Tina behind him, he wondered if Tina was using them also. Or was she using them on Ronnie. Had she been naked when the lights went out causing her to pull on just her jeans to leave the house. Were her panties still in the living room? Was she wet with excitement, waiting for Ray to leave so she could finish herself? These possibilities thrilled Ray to no end. So much so that when the lights popped on, Ray was popping through his lightweight pants.
"Oops," Tina sizzled, locking on his eyes.
"I'm sorry. It's just- I mean- sorry to interrupt." Ray tried to collect himself. "I'm so embarrassed."
"Oh, don't be. I'm flattered. Let's go back up." Tina smiled very generously to ease the situation while simultaneously not allowing any kind of moment to further discuss the situation.
"Of course." Ray wanted to smooth his pants down, but he was too embarrassed. He motioned for Tina to lead, but she motioned more firmly for him to lead. Wanting to appease, Ray went first, taking two steps at a time trying to get his penis to fall downward, minimizing the bulge, only it had the reverse effect.
Ronnie sat on the floor with her legs together and straight. Her long shirt was pulled down as far as it would go. The blanket from the couch covered the pile of dildos. The heap of phone parts was also on the floor. It looked like the battery was connected by free wires to the guts of a mobile phone whose keypad was separate from its display, earpiece and microphone. Ray couldn't bear to leave already – he had to know something more about what was going on.
"So, how's the phone project, Ronnie." Tina smiled. Ronnie noticed Ray's pants. She raised her eyes slowly to make certain he understood that she knew how excited he was. He stood his ground.
"It's coming along," she replied curtly.
"Not as fast as it should be, though," admonished Tina.
Ronnie didn't react.
"So, what are you making?" asked Ray.
"Well, we're modifying a phone." Tina said, slightly evasively. We had this idea and Ronnie said she could make it, but that was a while back, and I'm starting to lose patience."
"What's the proj-"
"So," Tina continued over Ray, "when Ronnie blew the fuse again tonight, I thought she should not get to clean up before you came over, rather she should sit right there in her half-finished state while you actually got something done, Ray."
Ray was having a hard time believing that Ronnie's predicament was in some part for him specifically. He felt excitement rushing through his groin.
"What I think she really needs is a good spanking." Tina added.
Ronnie was looking off to the side at no one, but she hadn't moved.
Ray was paralyzed with fear. Had this just been an invitation? Suddenly he felt foolish for thinking so, and decided he was just in the middle of something he shouldn't be.
Again, not allowing time to linger, Tina moved forward, "Thanks again, Ray. We really appreciate your coming out to help us again."
"Oh, yeah, no problem. Anytime... really." He couldn't believe he was walking away from this. How could he let this go?
