Pop-up Books & Sex Fiends

Chapter One: Suze

"So what exactly are we doing here Simon?" Gina wants to know as we walk through the isles of our local bookstore. She glares at me. "The beach is the other way."

"We go to the beach everyday, why not try something different?" I ask before sipping my vanilla caramel mocha.

"How is this different?" Gina asks, annoyed. "There are like twenty different bookstores in Brooklyn alone, why's this one so special?"

"A friend of mine told me about this book she wrote… a pop up book."

"… I don't know who's the bigger weirdo, you, or her." She sighs. "What's the book?"

"The Pop up Book of the Male Anatomy, Scratch and Sniff Edition."

Gina chokes on her coffee. "What?"

I chuckle quietly; I think I finally stunned her. "You heard me."

"I think your friend is messing with you Suze." Gina tells me, recovering. "It sounds… different, but come on a pop up about penises?"

"Well, Lolly's kind of a sex fiend."

"Really? I had no idea…"

"Come on Gina, just help me find it and we'll go straight to the beach."

She sighs, giving in; I can tell she's curious about it. "Okay, fine." She turns and heads for the sex and erotica section. "You're such a freak Simon. And I feel like such a pervert." She says as we look through the X rated titles.

"Me too." I admit, looking at the oversized books. One catches my attention: a bright red one with a hunky guy on the cover. I check the author: L. Lolly. "Here it is." I pull it off the shelf…

… Only to have Gina snatch it out of my hands and opened it up, causing a very realistic looking penis to pop up in Gina's face. I try not to laugh… much.

She shoots me a glare then smirks wickedly. "Dare ya to scratch and sniff it."

Crap.

"C'mon Simon, you and I both know you've never turned down a dare. Unless you've changed since you hooked up with Jesse…"

"Gimme that." I grab the book from her and scratch the abnormally large anatomy. Putting the book to my nose I start to smell it.

"You must grasp zee penis!"

I drop the book and glare at Gina who's laughing like mad. "No more 'I Love the 90s' for you."

Picking up the book I scratch zee penis once more and it smells like… boysenberry?

"Well? What's it smell like?"

"Well…"

"Susannah?"

I drop the book and try not to groan as I hear my boyfriend's amused voice. "What are you doing?"

Gina, doing nothing to hide her laughter; stumbles away from us to find Dopey, who decided to wait outside.

I pick up the book and turn to Jesse, giving him an innocent smile as I hold the book out to him.

"Want some pie balls?"
