Last Week:
"So, what do you want for your birthday?"
My boyfriend was looking at me with his eyebrows raised. I could get lost in those blue eyes and long blond hair. He can pretty much make me do whatever he wants. Not that I mind. But maybe something different for such a big day.
He tries again. "Earth to Johnny...come in Johnny!"
"Umm, what?"
"Your birthday! You turn a quarter of a century. What do you want?"
"Well."
I start unbuttoning David's shirt in my mind. But then, I can do that for real any day. Our roommates, however. Hmmmm....!
"I want my own private carnival."
David tilts his head down toward me. "But you only ever do one thing at any carnival."
"Yeah, so the four of us can do it in the back yard."
David tilts his head to the side and starts grinning.
"Okay, so I'll get it set up."
As he turns to go, I call out, "Wait, there's something else."
David turns around and lifts one eyebrow.
"I want ALL POWER!!!!" I add what I hope is an evil grin to that remark.
"Uh huh, and what does that mean?"
"I'll write it down for you. You can go over it tonight with the twins."
See, the reason that's funny is because George is a tall, skinny African-American male while Kay (I'm not really sure how to spell or pronounce his real name, but I know it has a "k" in it) is a short and stocky Samoan. We've been calling them the twins since they moved into the house with us.
"I wasn't planning on including them," whined my favorite Prussian.
I made an attempt at the power stare David uses on me. He smirked.
"'ALL POWER!!!,' I said." I ramped up the power stare. He ramped up the smirk.
"Okay, it's your turn, and your birthday."
Later that night:
George stops me as I walk through the kitchen and brandishes my instructions in my face. "Dude," he says, "you know, Dave would do this anyway without any pressure."
I put my finger on his forehead and run it slowly down his nose. "My birthday, my fantasy. He'd better act like he's mortified."
As my finger runs off the end of George's nose, he tries to bite it. I jerk it back instinctively, then wag it at him. "Uh uhh, not unless you want to be punished too!!!"
George thinks for a second. Then he grabs my fist and shoves my finger into his mouth.....
Today, my birthday, in the hottest part of the afternoon:
"Can I go out now? I'm supposed to have ALL POWER!!!!, after all."
David peeks out the window, and replies, "No, you should go get a drink of water."
"Isn't that a bit redundant Dave?" He smiles.
"Give them five minutes. I'd better go change too." He runs upstairs. I make my way slowly to the kitchen and get a drink of water, counting the seconds. I saunter back to the sliding back door and resist the urge to peek myself.
Finally, I hear a knock on it. "Count down from 10." That was Kay's voice. I hear him running away.
"10, 9, 8, 7, aw fuck it."
I open the door.
The height of the privacy fence all around has been extended by canvas banners. They were homemade -- solid white originally with graffiti and birthday wishes spray painted on. Streamers were running all over. There was a Spiderman bounce house -- not what I asked for but certainly within the decorating parameters. And in the center -- a dunk tank.
Taller than the run-of-the-mill easy-dunker. Flat clear plastic front so you can see into the water. Random Greek letters behind the target. George and Kay were in matching white t-shirts and athletic shorts, standing behind a table with softballs and a cash drawer. They both had hangdog expressions on their faces, occasionally stealing glances at the moon bounce.
I hold up my hands in a "T" sign to signal a timeout from the fantasy. "Wow, you guys outdid yourselves. What's the moon bounce for?"
"In case anyone wants some privacy." George winked as he said this, and Kay sniggered. I smiled in appreciation and undid the timeout. They went back to looking depressed.
"So, pledges, how come that seat is empty?"
Geo & Kay look at each other, then at me. George answers, "Sorry, sir, but our brother didn't show up."
"And why aren't one of you up there?"
Kay answers, "Sorry, sir, but the President told us to stay at the table until he comes back and tells us something else."
"But it's hot, don't you want to cool off?"
George answers, "Yes, sir, but we have to stay here."
"And aren't you losing money by not having someone up there."
Kay answers, "Yes, sir. Are you offering?"
"No, but I'll see what I can do."
"Thank you, sir," they both answer.
Then I hear the sliding door again. I turn around. There stands my Prussian in a charcoal suit and red bow tie. His hair is immaculate. He even put on dress shoes. I call another timeout and run up to him.
"You are so hot!"
"Yeah?" he replies, "did I dress right?"
"Here, let me check." I walk over and put my hand on his chest. Sliding it under the coat but over his right breast I feel nothing underneath the white shirt. I lean to his ear, "mmmhhh, check." Withdrawing my hand from his coat and shoving it down beneath his belt buckle, I glance back at Geo and Kay. They are making use of the timeout to do some groping too.
I find the fly of David's tighty-whitey and worm my way through to his flaccid dick. He gasps. I cup his balls, then pull the entire package through the fly. Dave groans a little. I take his entire ear into my mouth and blow warm air on it.
Not flaccid anymore.
I slowly pull my hand out, rubbing his dick as I go, as if I am going to start jacking him off, but instead I pull the hand all the way out.
"Yes, that's exactly how I want it. TIME IN."
I glance at the twins; they hurriedly retract from each other and stand at attention. I hear Dave swear behind me. When I turn back, he seems to be wincing a little from the awkward position I left his member at. "What did you say?" I shout at him.
"Nothing, sir." He winces again.
"I'll remind you, buster, you're already on thin ice. Get over here."
I drag him by his lapel to the table. He stumbles along behind me. "I think I have the answer to your problems, kids." Geo & Kay both look up at me, then at him. Of course, this is all scripted (by me) but they are playing along like champs.
Dave looks at me. "What do you mean?"
"Well, you see that booth, there?"
"Yeah."
"They need someone to sit in it."
Two beats. "And you want me to get someone for them?"
"No, stupid. Try again."
Two more beats. "And you are going to go up there and have me throw."
"Three strikes and you're dead, dude."
Two beats, a big sigh, and his face falls. "And you want me to go up there."
"Bingo! Give that man a prize. So what are you waiting for?"
Dave turns to leave. I grab his arm. "And where do you think you are going?"
"To change, sir, so I can get wet."
"Not a chance dude. Go up there like you are!"
David looks at me, then down at his suit. Then he looks at me again. "You can't be serious!"
"Dead serious. Remember what you just did. It's payback time."
He looks up at the seat, swears again, and then says, "Alright, where do I go?"
George grabs David's wrist and takes him to the ladder on the side of the tank. Kay turns to me.
"That'll be five bucks, please." He holds out his hand as if to take my money. I grab the bottom of his hand so he can't pull it away, then spit into it. I look up for a reaction. He takes his hand, shoves it down his shorts, and starts pleasuring himself. Then I notice David trying to adjust himself before he climbs the ladder.
"Hey! None of that now. Climb up just the way you are!"
Dave swears again but starts climbing. George raises an eyebrow at Kay, who is still in his own little shorts, umm, I mean world. Then George comes back and hands me some softballs. "Let me help you with that," he says to Kay and reaches for Kay's shorts.
"Hey! None of that from you right now. Plenty of time for that later." By the time I look up, Dave is on the seat above the water. He's grinning, but changes it to a grimace when he sees me looking.
The target is huge. There is a line right by the table, but then I do have "ALL POWER!!!!" I walk up to about two yards from the target. Dave starts protesting.
"Hey, that's too close. No way. Back off. That's not fair."
I stick my tongue out at him, like a child.
