So, I went off to this "comfortable" party. As I pulled into the driveway of the address she gave me, I realized maybe they knew more people then I thought. There were at least 15 cars in their yard and driveway. The funny thing about the whole scene? From the outside it looked like not one light was on. I was hoping this chick wasn't crazy and wanted to invite me to some weird cult where they were going to make me drink toxic kool-aid and force me to watch Twilight over and over again in the dark.
I soon found out that this wasn't a birthday party or a cult gathering at all...
The house oozed the smell of pheromones and vanilla scented candles when she greeted me at the door.
I was at a frickin sex party. So much for the birthday cake I was looking forward to...
When "Red" met me at the door, she looked so excited to see me. Like I was working for the Publisher's Clearing House with a million dollar check in hand.
As I walked in her home, it was quite dark. Not dark enough that I couldn't see my own hand in front of me, but dark enough that I couldn't rate the naked man walking towards the hallway.
So, I acted casual. Well, tried to at least. I had to remind myself that I had been around worse when working with people in the rock and roll music industry. Naked men and women around me was like a typical evening...okay, I won't go that far, because I'm not a female version of Gene Simmons. But, with the stuff I was exposed to in the past, this ordeal was like the Disney Channel to me without Miley Cyrus involved.
So, I put a big smile on my face, but obviously not too big because then I would have looked like I was ready to get the ball rolling and my ball was not rolling anywhere. (I realize that doesn't sound the greatest.)
I walked forward to a love seat, and stood there. I didn't know what to say or do. I thought about saying what I usually say when I get uncomfortable in situations "How about those Dallas Cowboys, aye" but she didn't like sports from what I remembered. So, I thought about option B "So, if this is a birthday party, what do you guys do on Halloween?" But, I decided to skip that and just go with whatever came to my mind...
"You guys must have a cheap electric bill if you guys do this often..." (Insert loud giggle at the end. I laugh at my own stupid lines when I'm nervous.)
Red just smiled and asked if she could take my coat. I'm not gonna lie, I was hesitant about giving my coat to her, thinking that my coat will go where all the dirty under-roos and bras were, probably in some big pile in a dark corner, exchanging bacteria with one another and causing my coat to smell like vag, dicks and boobs. I couldn't take that risk, I had church the next day. But, then again I figured I probably should take something off, while noticing a topless Tina in the corner. So, I did. But, I made a decision that that was the only thing that was going to be taken off of my body that night.
As Red went off with my coat, I continued to stand there and regretted wearing a dress, after looking at my options on where to sit. I had two options: 1.) Sit where a man in his tighty whiteys was sitting...he reminded me of my old principal. Or 2.) Share a love seat with Topless Tina who decided to relocate.
...I had no nylons on, nor leggings. I'm not a germ phob, but my legs were not ready for these stranger's bodily liquids. I was heading to another room. Pronto.
So, I went to the kitchen. It seemed like a safe bet. No hanky panky going on, just people eating crackers, fruit, and cheese...naked.
I decided I needed a drink...
So, I went to go pour myself a glass of white wine, turned around and just about everyone was gone except a man in his forties looking in the frig.
I thought about asking him to make me a grilled cheese, but I didn't want to cause him to risk getting splattered from the skillet. I mean, it hurts like hell when you get a little on your arm when you're frying something, let alone on your equipment. Ouch!
He turned around and smiled with some object in his hand.
Holy cow! I wish I could say the first thing I actually noticed was his wedding ring on his hand, but I was actually thinking that whoever his wife is...good for her. He must have a hell of a time riding a bicycle though.
So, after the awkward moment of seeing a naked well endowed man with a tub of butter in his hands, I took my glass of white wine and relocated to another room. I was not going to take the chance on him deciding to use the butter an interesting way in the kitchen. It would ruin me.
Next room: The Billiard room.
Of course I was expecting the pool table to be used as a base for somebody's fun. But, to my surprise it wasn't. Obviously not many watched porn in that room. A pool table is a total cliche, yes. But, come on...it's there. Use it.
I looked at my phone to see what time it was and I felt like I was there for a decent amount of time without looking like I was scared. I had to find Red and her husband to tell them I was leaving and find my coat as well.
My first mission that seemed the most important to me was finding my coat.
It wasn't in the billiard room, nor the kitchen...So, I knew my option was to go upstairs. I felt like I was in for an interesting mission. Scooby Doo and his crew didn't have anything on me.
All the doors were closed, except the bathroom.
I didn't know what to do. I mean since it was a swinger's party, I figured all doors would be open and exposed to advertise what was going on.
So, I did what I sometimes do when I need to think. I sat on the floor in the hallway.
I didn't know what that was going to accomplish. But, I did it. It seemed like the only safe place to sit.
Just then a door opened, and out came an attractive woman with clothes on.
I was so excited, I wasn't the only clothed freak at this naked party. I felt like I met my soul sister at this gathering.
She smiled and said "Were you waiting for a turn? You don't have to sit on the floor, ya know."
I think my mouth fell open a little. Of course I was not waiting on a turn, thank you. If Hotto wants something, she does not wait for a turn, Missy.
"No, I'm looking for my coat and decided to sit down and rest for awhile." <--- rest for what? Why did I say that? I'm not sure. I acted like I came from a long journey with the three wise men.
She looked at me for quite some time and finally said "You're a pretty girl, but I take it you're not comfortable here."
And here comes the nervous babble I am so known for:
"Oh, I'm fine. I blame being basically an only child as to why I don't share well with others. So, I couldn't even be a swinger if I wanted to. Not that there's anything wrong with being one. If you're willing to spread your love to many, then right on. But, it's just not my thing and I feel like I got over dressed for this occasion. Story of my life. I have a birthday card for Tom but I'm not sure if it's really his birthday or not. Do you know? It's kinda a funny card. You know, I read that the swinger epidemic became very popular in the 1960's with the hippies and everything. I think the 60's would be the era I would want to live in but then again I love the 1940's pin-up look. I'm talking a lot, aren't I? I do that from time to time."
She smiled the whole time I was talking.
I stopped, giving her time to say something if she wanted to.
She didn't. She moved closer to my face till there was no more than a few inches from both our faces and I could feel her hot breath on me. Strands of her long blonde hair tickled my face and I had no idea on what she was going to do.
(If I was a real asshole I would stop here and let you wait for part III.)
She continued to stare at me and finally spoke, "You are cute....Your coat is in the room I was in, if you'd like I can get it for you."
...Okay, lady. Number one, you could have just told me that instead of lingering and getting so close to my face, like you were going to start a soft porn-o from Cinemax with me. Number two, I can get my own coat.
She was still close to my face and I finally said "I can get it, but you're going to need to move so I can get up."
She finally moved and walked away, I stood in front of the door she was in previously.
I didn't know what to do. I didn't know whether to knock. If maybe there was a secret code I should know about that Miss Hot Breath didn't tell me.
So, I lightly knocked and said "Hello?" ...I'm smooth, let me tell ya.
No answer.
So, I opened it and there was Red and her husband Tom, and two other couples sitting around talking and drinking...naked.
I gave my best smile and announced that it was time for me to go and thanked them for the invite.
I walked towards my coat and grabbed it.
I didn't know whether to hug Red and Tom goodbye, give them a handshake, or maybe a high five? Normally I'm a hugger, but where was I going to place my hands?
So, I chose the route on waving goodbye instead.
"I had a lovely time" blurted out of my mouth.
(What the hell? I had a "lovely" time? I saw a naked man with a 10 pinch pipe between his legs, holding a tub of butter and I was this close to some hot breathed woman placing her lips on me...and I choose the word "lovely" to describe the evening. That's so not the appropriate word.)
Before I walked out of the room, Tom yelled out "Hey, you're gonna miss me cutting my birthday cake."
...I smiled and told them to have fun.
That was the one time I didn't have a taste for anything sweet and I was quite eager to go straight to the dry cleaners.
