I didn't realise how right I'd be when I told my family that I would have an adventure when I did a working vacation in Australia. I was expecting that I'd meet some cute guys or maybe have a lesbian encounter. I was sure I'd see some interesting sights, and meet some interesting people, but wow, just wow.
My group had just finished a week of fruit picking. On the weekend Janice and I decided to try a surfing class, we were in Surfer's Paradise after all. I really didn't get all that much surfing in, I mean I pushed the board around in the surf, and then tried to stand on it, only to get knocked off into the water and have to drag the board back out again. Maybe by the end of the lesson I had been actually surfing for like 3 minutes. That said I had a wonderful time and couldn't stop smiling and giggling. Janice was apparently a natural surfer, it seemed like every time I was dragging my board back out, I'd see her actually keeping her balance, and gliding on the water. Of course it doesn't hurt that she actually looks like one of the surfer girls that the Beach Boys describe in their songs. Tall, blond, athletic, I mean I could almost hate her except that she is so much fun to hang around. She's always making new friends and has a knack for keeping things light and fun. I wondered if she would be interested in experimenting...
Took a quick shower to get the sea water off, then headed to the pub. There was a great pub about 5 blocks from the hostel, cheap-ish dinners and beers. We met up with some of the other people we were on tour with Tim, Alex, Jen and Erika. After the meal, we started to play drinking games. How to people in Australia play quarters? I mean they don't even have quarters. After digging through our change for the appropriate sized coins we started to play. A few "surfer dudes" asked to join us, and we explained how to play.
Everyone was starting to get a little buzzed, when a guy who was almost as pale as me asked to join. (The fact that I'm a Canadian who wears sunscreen practically made my skin glow white, especially compared to the Aussie surfer boys.) He introduced himself as Darren, and in a thick accent he asked to join the game. I scrunched closer to Janice on the bench and he sat down beside me. He was very, very good at quarters, I mean he didn't miss a shot.
Quarters was starting to get a little dull, and the drinks were starting to get a bit expensive, so we moved back to the hostel. Tim and Jen left us at this point, and all the surfer boys except Dale. So it was me, Janice, Alex, Erika, Dale and Darren. I'm not sure who suggested the game of Truth or Dare, but everyone thought it was a great idea.
Alex asked Janice, "Truth or Dare?" Janice chose dare, and Alex dared her to kiss Erika. A strange look passed Alex's face right after he asked, kind of like he didn't believe that he had just said that. Janice leaned over and planted a sisterly peck on Erika's cheek. Alex said that wasn't what he meant, but Janice replied that he should have specified what he meant to begin with.
Janice asked Darren how many girls he had slept with, he replied hundreds, which made us all laugh, since he didn't look much over 21, but he stuck to his story and wouldn't budge. Darren dared Dale to run and jump in the pool in the buff, which he did, very quickly, turning 20 shades of red in the process.
Dale then dared me me to kiss Janice, like I was deeply in love with her and hadn't see her for weeks. I looked into Janice's eyes, and she seemed ok or maybe even excited about the idea, so we started to kiss. Softly at first, almost delicately, then we opened our mouths and started to really french kiss. Eventually we sighed and stopped, and everyone in the room started to applaud. One of the guys said "damn that was hot." Janice and I both blushed.
For my turn I asked Alex to describe how he lost his virginity. Alex's story had most of us enthralled, it was funny and there was even a car chase after him and the young lady were caught by her over protective father. Dale and Erika had slipped away from the group, onto the other bed in the room.
After the story Alex noticed Dale and Erika on the other bed, Dale's towel had fallen open, and they were making out. It might not have been very classy, but we all started to watch as one of Dale's hands massaged Erika's tits, and the other started to explore exactly how short Erika's short shorts were.
