Brenda gets mistaken for a Prostitute, and ends up loving being Uncle Bill's trick and treat!
Uncle Bill was his usual disgusting self, again, Brenda thought. It was his birthday, and Brenda's mom, Bill's sister, had thrown him a little party. She'd made him a cake and bought a couple of presents, and gathered the family. It was too bad that his birthday was on Halloween. It kind of ruined the holiday.
Brenda went through the motions, even eating a piece of cake with them. It wouldn't have been so bad, but Uncle Bill was always so rude, loud and obnoxious, making off-color jokes filled with sexual innuendo. Brenda just didn't like him. Her mother and father were quiet, neat people, whereas her uncle was like a frat boy who had never grown up. Sure, Brenda had a wild side, but she preferred things neat, tidy, clean and organized, just like her parents.
Uncle Bill owned his own plumbing company, and true to form, when he bent down to hug Brenda's two little sisters goodbye, he displayed the requisite plumber's crack. He still had greasy stains on his work shirt, which was too short and rode up over his fat belly every time he reached up for anything.
Brenda shuddered in anticipation of the hug he was sure to give her before he left. He was dirty, fat, balding, greasy and usually sweaty. Worse, though, were the little glances that he kept making at Brenda's chest.
After graduating high school, her breasts had grown to epic proportions. She knew she carried a little extra weight, and that her tummy was a little too flabby, but her large breasts made up for it. She didn't mind guys glancing at them, but it was creepy when Uncle Bill did it. He was family.
Brenda wasn't a virgin, but she'd only been with one guy. It was her first true love and she still missed him. His name was Nathaniel and he'd moved away just several months ago. She'd been thinking about him all day and had been in a horrible funk. Instead of retreating to her room, like she'd been planning, she'd been forced to attend Uncle Bill's birthday party. Being around people today hadn't been on the agenda.
Uncle Bill came over to her before he left. He'd already said goodbye to the rest of the family and everyone else was in the kitchen getting a second piece of cake. "Hey Brenda," he said.
"Hey, Uncle Bill. Happy Birthday," she said, trying to sound like she meant it.
"Thanks," he said, leaning in.
Brenda saw him quickly glance down at her chest and then he had her in a tight hug, mashing her big breasts between them. As usual, the hug lasted way too long.
"I'm heading out. The guys are throwing a party for me too. We're probably going to get really fucked up. Don't tell your mom I said that." He laughed softly. "I'm dressing up like Thor and I'm going to get hammered." He chuckled. "Get it?"
"Okay," Brenda said, not looking at him...not wanting to frown at his horrible joke.
"You look pretty down in the dumps, Brenda."
"Yeah, I'm not having a good day. Sorry if I'm ruining your birthday."
"No. Listen. I don't let other people ruin my days. I do what I want, when I want. I don't let nothing get me down. You're not ruining nothing. Here," he said, smiling and handing her a small bottle.
"What's this?"
"It's a pint of Irish whisky and it will take the blues away. If you get caught though, you didn't get it from me."
Brenda's opinion of her uncle went up considerably, for the moment. "Well now I feel bad," she said putting it in her jacket pocket.
"Don't. The fellas probably have so much alcohol at my house, that I could swim in it. Enjoy, and don't do anything stupid and don't get caught. See you later," he said giving her chest one more admiring look before heading out the door.
Brenda's mother came up behind her, catching her by surprise. "Ha, did I scare you?"
"A little."
"What were you two talking about?"
"I just apologized for being such a downer on his birthday."
"Honey, it's okay. He understands. I thought you were going to the harvest festival and then spending the night at Sara's house?"
"I was," Brenda started. "But..."
"But nothing," her mom interrupted. "Grab your bag and head over. You'll feel better and I'll see you in the morning."
Twenty minutes later, Brenda was walking alone in the park with her small overnight bag over her shoulder, taking little sips of the Irish whisky. It didn't take her long to start feeling a buzz.
She wasn't sure what she was going to do. She didn't feel like going to the harvest festival or going over to her friend's house. She didn't want to go home. She was sure that was probably what she would do though. She would head home after everyone in the house was already asleep and after she had a good buzz on. Right now, she just wanted to drink alone.
Brenda found a lonely bench on an isolated path in the park and finished her little bottle of whisky. She was feeling lightheaded and buzzed when she drained the last of it. Standing up too quickly, she teetered and stumbled almost doing a face plant beside the path.
She giggled. "Definitely drunk!" she said to herself, regaining her balance.
It was dark and cold and the wind was picking up. Her short leather jacket was no match for it. She was wearing a tight black, long sleeved blouse that was too thin for the wind. And her matching black skirt was too short for this time of year, or at least to be hanging out in the park after dark in.
Brenda decided to walk home, thinking that her parents had already headed to bed... She stumbled along the path. "Shit," she exclaimed, tripping over her feet and giggling again. She regained her balance and stopped. In the path ahead, about twenty yards away, two men were standing, blocking her way. Brenda suddenly felt incredibly uneasy. Even in her drunken state, she remembered her self-defense training and her instructor's words; "Trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't right."
Brenda spun around and started to walk quickly in the opposite direction. She thought she heard two pairs of footsteps following her down the path. She quickened her pace, stumbling along and veering to the left at a fork in the path. She was too afraid to look back. What if they were gaining on her?
The path wound around a thick copse of trees. Brenda left the path, winding her way through the trees. On the other side was a small open field, which she made her way across, as fast as she could. Then she worked her way through another stand of trees. She came out onto the edge of the park, realizing that she had no idea where she was.
She tried to find a street sign or a recognizable landmark or building. She just couldn't think straight. The good thing was that there were cars on this street and it was well lit. She turned right on the sidewalk and kept moving. The wind was really picking up now and Brenda was freezing. She followed the street to the first intersection, straining to read the sign.
"Archetype Road."
"I know someone on this road," Brenda mumbled. She knew that street name. "Yes! Uncle Bill!" she exclaimed. He lived on Archetype Road.
She had only been over there a couple of times before, but she thought she would recognize his house if she saw it. Brenda looked over her shoulder and thought she saw two dark figures emerge from the park.
"Fuck," she muttered, turned, and hurried down the street.
Brenda stumbled down the sidewalk, still feeling thickheaded, and now extremely thirsty. She was deathly afraid that she was being pursued and kept on going. Her legs were so tired. She was almost ready to collapse and start crying, but then she saw Uncle Bill's van. His company logo and slogan splashed across the side: "Laying the pipe since 1999!"
"What a dumbass," Brenda muttered, but smiling with relief. She'd never been so happy to see his stupid slogan before in her life. She ran up to the front door. It was ajar, so she went in. Music was blaring and the lights were bright. Brenda had to blink her eyes a few times to see.
"You're late," said a voice from beside her. "And you need one of these. We thought you'd be in costume...as Black Widow. I'm Iron Man." He gestured to the red plastic armor he was adorned with.
Iron Man looked like one of her uncle's helpers. He walked closer to Brenda, offering her a little cheap Halloween mask. She blinked at him. He definitely didn't recognize her and she was struggling to remember his name.
"It's all here, but you can count it. We thought you were going to be blonde too." He handed her a thick envelope.
Brenda took the envelope, wondering what was in it. It was really thick. She frowned at him. "Oh...uh...I mean its okay that you're not blonde. You've got a really nice rack!" he said happily. "Bill's going to be really happy."
"Thirsty," Brenda croaked, still shivering from the cold. Her heart was still beating a mile a minute. She'd figure out what he was talking about after she had something to drink and after she warmed up a little... She stuffed the envelope into her jacket pocket and slipped on the mask. Not much of a costume but she wasn't feeling very Halloweenish this year. It was perfect.
"Gotcha," the young man said, rushing down the hall to the kitchen.
Brenda heard hurried talking in the kitchen. She saw a small group of people drinking in one of the rooms off to the side. The young man ran back down towards her.
"Here," he said, handing her a cold beer and a shot glass full of something dark. "You're early," he said beckoning her to follow him up the stairs. "We weren't quite ready for you, but that's okay."
They were expecting her? Brenda was too exhausted and buzzed to follow what he was saying. She took the two drinks from his hands, and followed the young man up the stairs.
"We really thought you were going to be blonde and taller," he said laughing.
Brenda giggled. "Okay. You already told me that...I can't change who I am," she said as he led her into one of the bedrooms. It looked like someone had puked up the 1970s all over it. It was brightly decorated and amazingly tacky, right down to the matching lava lamps on the bedside tables, and a disco ball hanging off the ceiling.
