I was at a party talking with a couple of friends of mine. The three of us were putting together a computer game and we had high hopes that it would do well. I was the main coder for the game. I could write code fast and accurately, as long as I know what the client wants it to do. John was our artist. He could create characters and scenery, which I certainly couldn't, and then tell me how he wanted the characters and scenery to move. Piece of cake. Together we had very realistic displays dancing around the screen. Zane was the third member of our group, a natural writer with a devious and scheming mind. He was writing the story that we'd be enacting.
Zane had had a brainwave since we were last together and was running it past us to see what we thought. John and Zane heartily approved of the change while I was all what the hell.
"Do you realise just how much code will be required to factor that into the story?" I wanted to know, only to be met by flattery of the 'we know you can handle it' type. It seemed that I was going to have to handle it.
That's when a young lady, name of Beryl, came wandering over.
"Hey, Alex, don't Tracy and Vivian live next door to you?"
Tracy and Vivian were two vivacious young ladies that were indeed currently renting the unit next to mine. I acknowledged this, giving Beryl an inquiring look.
"Well, um, they're currently outside debating which of them should drive home," Beryl said. "They might be just a tiny bit over the limit. I was thinking that maybe you might like to go and drive them home as they're right next door."
I suspected that Beryl wouldn't have said anything if they were only a tiny bit over the limit. I was cold sober as I'd only been drinking soft drinks as I was currently on some medication that didn't react well with alcohol. I'd be pleased when that treatment was complete.
"It looks like you won't need to run me home, Zane," I grumbled. "Apparently Tracy and Vivian are offering me a lift."
"Even if they don't know it yet," said a smirking Zane.
"Even if they don't know it yet," I agreed, and headed outside, Beryl having thoughtfully given me directions to where they were parked.
When I caught up with them they were standing next to the car, politely arguing. They'd got as far as unlocking the car and that was it. Now they were both insisting that they were going to drive.
As soon as I reached them I opened the back door nearest them and looked at Vivian.
"You, in," I said firmly, a hand on her back pushing her towards the car.
She got in, still protesting. Doubly protesting, actually. Protest one was that she should be driving while protest two was that I couldn't tell her what to do.
Tracy was holding the keys up, stating that she was driving in a triumphant voice. I simply extracted the keys from her grasp and pointed to the open door.
"In. Sit down and be quiet."
Now it was her turn to complain that I couldn't tell her what to do, she was entitled to drive, and that it was her car. I simply agreed to everything she said while making sure that both girls were buckled up. Hopping in behind the wheel I held up a hand to make them shut-up for a moment.
"I take it you only want me to drive you home? Nothing else?"
"Don't even think of doing anything apart from driving," said Tracy, sounding indignant that I might even dream of doing something I shouldn't. As far as I was concerned that statement was simply agreement from the owner that I could drive her home and I proceeded to do just that.
It took about five minutes to drive them home. The first two minutes consisted of two minutes of complaining about high-handed know-it-alls and how they were both quite capable of driving. The last three minutes was filled with two sets of soft snores, neither girl able to stay awake.
I pulled into the units and parked in their spot. I checked the keys and saw the unit key was on the key ring. Leaving them sleeping I went and opened the front door and the door to the main bedroom, which they shared according to my understanding. Then I went back to the car.
I extracted Tracy from the car, carrying her quite easily. Vivian promptly stirred, starting to get out of the car. Not trusting her not to wander off or sit down on the ground and go to sleep again I pointed a finger at her.
"No," I said in a firm voice. "Sit. Stay. I will come back for you."
She gave me an affronted look but settled back onto the seat. I gave her a warning scowl to keep her there (I hoped) and turned and carried Tracy inside.
There were two beds in the bedroom but I had no idea who owned which. I just laid Tracy down on the nearest. I was about to go and get Vivian when I had a second thought. As pissed as Tracy was there would be a high chance that she'd throw up, probably as soon as I turned my back. I rolled her onto her side and quickly manoeuvred her dress off, putting it carefully to one side. That way if she threw up she wouldn't ruin the dress.
It turned out that taking her dress off was enough to wake her a little bit more.
"Are you going to rape me now?" she demanded.
I turned and smiled at her.
"Not right now. Maybe later if you behave. Go back to sleep."
She settled back on the bed and I went to fetch Vivian. Still in the same spot, sound asleep. I circled the car and opened the door she was leaning against, scooping her up into my arms. After that it was a case of lock the car and a repeat of my adventure with Tracy. Carry her in, place her on the bed, help her out of her dress.
(I might point out that despite the temptation I didn't help them out of their underwear. A true gentleman, that's me.)
"Are you going to rape me now?" Tracy asked, sounding a little nervous.
I turned to speak to her, smiling in what was supposed to be a reassuring manner, and nearly choked on my tongue when I tried to swallow it. Tracy was lying there naked, having taken advantage of my absence to finish getting undressed.
I repeated the not now line, again offering to do it another time if she behaved. I couldn't help pointing out that she wasn't behaving at the moment.
She ignored what I said, looking over at Vivian.
"Oh. Are you going to rape Vivian instead? Why her and not me?"
"I'm not raping either of you," I assured her. "You've both had a little too much to drink and couldn't handle me in this state. Go to sleep."
"No, we haven't. I haven't anyway. Vivian probably has. She can't handle alcohol. Are you going to rape her later?"
"Possibly, but it's none of your business. Worry about yourself. Just get under the covers and go to sleep."
"I can't. Vivian is on my bed."
May the good Lord grant me strength. I carefully picked up Vivian and crossed to the other bed.
"Stand up," I told Tracy and she managed to do so, leaning heavily against the wall.
I deposited Vivian on the bed and then made a sweeping gesture to Tracy, indicating that she was now free to get in her own bed. She sighed.
"Carry me," she said in a little girl voice, holding up her arms, effectively offering up her whole body.
Knowing that if I didn't she might actually follow me to the front door I reached for her and scooped her up into my arms. She twisted towards me, pressing her breasts against my chest. Her very soft and bouncy breasts. At the same time she buried her face against my neck, giving me little kisses.
I laid her on the bed, stepping back briskly. Now get under the covers," I snapped, "and go to sleep."
"What are you doing here?" asked a voice from behind me. "Are you going to rape us?"
Tracy started giggling and I was temporarily lost for words. What was it with these two and getting raped?
"No, Vivian. I'm not raping you right now and I'm not raping Tracy either. Perhaps another time. Right now, go to sleep."
I headed out of the bedroom, ignoring the soft cry of, "Wuss." I dropped the keys on the kitchen table, and departed, making sure that the front door was locked.
The next morning I was leaving my unit when Tracy came out of hers.
"Morning, Tracy," I said, smiling.
"Hmph," she grunted, giving me a dismissive look and getting in her car. She sat there, pointedly not looking in my direction. I put it down to embarrassment, probably remembering that I'd seen her naked the previous night.
That's when Vivian came out of their unit.
"Morning, Vivian," I said, still smiling.
"Hmph," she grunted, giving me a killing look and joining Tracy in the car. Tracy backed up and drove away, both girls pointedly not looking at me. I put it down to more embarrassment.
I didn't see them again until lunch time. I was heading towards the cafeteria when I met them where another passage joined the one I was in.
"Afternoon, Tracy, Vivian," I said, still smiling gamely.
"Don't you dare talk to us, you pervert," snapped Tracy.
"You rotten rapist," growled Vivian. "You're lucky we don't report you to the police."
"Pervert? Rapist? What the hell are you talking about?"
