Casual Sex: The Crème de la Others

 B


Brent Last Name Redacted was so perfect on paper. He was in the health care field, gainfully employeed and in school working on an advanced degree. He was a homewoner, even had a great car. I forget what kind. Some luxury SUV. 

We met when I passed him in a bar. A great cover band was playing the Commodores' and we happened to lock eyes while we both belted out Easy Like Sunday Morrr-orrr-orrrn-nin.' 

"I love this song!" I shouted at him over the final bars.

"I wrote it for you," he answered back, with a shy smile. 

He wanted to take me home that night, but my friend told him hell no. She always tried to save me from my one night stands and mistakes, and sometimes, I let her.

Brent and I exchanged numbers and spent the next day texting back and forth. We both had plans, but decided to meet up around 9:00 pm at a bar and grill near my house. 

Over drinks, we decided we were definitely spending the evening together and he drove me to his house after begging to come to mine. I didn't particularly see that as a red flag. I was just insistent we go to his place because mine was tiny in size and large in its untidiness. 

That first night was amazing. Brent told me we'd be done if I "faked it" so I forced myself to really relax and enjoy it. (This wasn't easy for me back then.)

He didn't love that I was a smoker, but he let me have one on the patio. I sheepishly put the butt into a plant, and he had me grab it and put it in an empty diet coke can and take it out to my car. 

Pretty sure he had a girlfriend, in hindsight.

So, things start out fairly normal. I let him know I'm super chill by telling him I have a date. Online dating guy (the one who lived at home with his parents) and I were hanging out again.

Brent wanted me to call him after I was done. Like, RIGHT after. Like, don't mop up, don't shower, don't change your panties, but I'll be nearby and I'm coming to your house after you and your other guy finish taking care of business. 

For what ever reason, I was kind of into this risky behavior. Terrible decision. First, I inferred and clarified - Brent wanted me to have unprotected sex, and then Brent wanted to come over and have me for dessert. 

What the actual?

I had just never heard of this particular form of kink. I'm just a vanilla gal from the suburbs, mind you. 

I figured I might as well not knock it til I tried it.

So, try it I did. I had guy one over, and knowing that Brent was waiting actually made the sex more exciting. I shooed guy one out the door, and hands shaking, sent Brent the green light text. There he came - he was at my house in under ninety seconds. 

He looked so hungry for me. It was exhilarating, after I got over being slightly grossed out.

Things ratcheted up a notch from there. Brent wanted more daring and had more impractical asks. I'll leave those up to your imagination, but a few other items of note:

1) He never told me his last name or much about him.

2) We never shared dinner or a meal with one another, and this went on for months.

3) Once, a tiny dog appeared at his house. He said he was dog sitting for a friend, but I'm fairly certain it was the girlfriend's dog. A woman knows. 

4) I saw him years later working at the Apple store in the mall.  Maybe the medical text books also belonged to a girlfriend? 

5) No STD's were transmitted. Somehow.

I watched Hoarders last night. During the first commercial break, I dared to look around my living room and I thought, oh holy mother of four-letter-word. Color me cluttered. Yes, it's true that most of my mess is hidden and collecting dust in the dark, but I know what's there -- like the 100+ VHS tapes in my bookshelf/ media cabinet, for instance. Yes, I love knowing that should I desire to watch my old school copy of Riding in Cars with Boys or Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or The Royal Tenembaums or Serendipity or Ghost World or Memento or... okay. You get the picture. It's there. If I wanted it, it would be right there. Also semi-hidden? Probaby 50+ copies of this weekly magazine from the late 1960's - early 1970's called Story of Life. My grandma gave them to me. Have I cracked the cover of even one issue? Hell to the no. I don't have time for that type of nostalgia. Plus, I can't even find a link for it with a quick google search. Something tha...

First Page Blogfester

Preface: TGIF. It has been a day. So. I'm participating in the First Page Blogfest in which writers around the blogosphere post the opening 24 lines of their WIP. (In a "real" book, this is the approximate amount of work that would appear on page 1!) This blogfest is being headed up by Kelly over at Kelly's Compositions . Please check out the other entries and leave them a comment on their work. My own WIP will be featured on Roni's Beta Club next week, and I chose an excerpt from the beginning one chapter one for critque over there, so today I'll give you the true beginning: the opening lines of my prologue. Here goes nothing. My working title is A SAD SONG IN A FLAT KEY Genre: Literary Fictionspice Prologue May 2005      Laurel sits Indian style. She faces the head of her bed and tries to focus on Cafe Terrace at Night, pretending it is priceless artwork instead of a cheap replica. She counts the tables first, and the...
