It started off as just an ordinary day. Everyone came over to the loft, as usual. It's cold and it's snowing. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, just a really boring day at the loft. All my friends were getting comfortable with their lovers, making out on the couch. I got bored, so I went to my room to get my camera so I could film something.
"February fourteenth, 1990. Twelve pm, eastern standard time. Zoom in on my friend's enjoying this Valentine's Day. They're all in their own little worlds. I bet they don't even notice how lucky they are just to be with somebody." I say into the camera.
I can't take this anymore, so I put on my coat and my scarf and grab my camera. Anything's better than feeling like a seventh wheel, especially on Valentine's Day.
The snow is so pretty, so I film the scenery around me. I love it when it snows here, it's amazing. Almost an hour goes by, and I slowly walk back to the loft. When I get back to the loft, I go into my room to look at my footage in my room. The doorbell rings.
When I get to the door, nobody's there. There's just a bottle of champagne and an envelope attached. I pick them up, and bring them into the loft. When I get into the kitchen, I look at the letter. No name on the envelope. Hmmm. I decide to open the envelope up. The letter says:
Mark Cohen,
You know me, and I know you. I've wanted you for a while now, and I'm finally asking you out. Meet me tonight at the life café at 6pm. I'll be there wearing a red sweater, sitting alone – waiting for you. Hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
A friend.
I put the champagne into my fridge, and I looked at the letter again. It was written in cursive, and the letter smelled like a fruity perfume. Could this be real? I had to tell the gang.
I ran outside and grabbed a handful of snow, and made it into a snowball. I aimed it right at Roger.
"Shit that's cold!" Roger screamed.
"Bingo. Guys, guess what?" I said
"What?" Mimi said
"I have a date tonight!" I screamed.
"Whoa!" said Collins.
"Yeah, you haven't had a date since Maureen dumped you!" Angel said
Maureen jumped up and hugged me "I'm so happy for you!"
Angel and Mimi jumped up and stood right next to Maureen.
"I'll do his hair!'' Angel said.
"I call clothes!" Mimi said.
"Joanne, you and can help me with ordering a couple roses for Mark's date" Maureen said.
"Fine by me." Joanne said, giving Maureen a quick peck on the cheek.
Maureen smiled, and took control again. "Okay Mark, get a shower. Let us know when you're done." Maureen said while pushing me into the bathroom.
I got a pretty fast shower, and was finished in around 15 minutes. When I came out of the shower, I realized I had a towel, but no boxers. There was no way I was going to walk across the hallway in just a tiny towel, around the size off a tiny floor towel. I yelled hoping someone on the couch loved me enough to help me.
"Hey guys, help! I need ummm…. Boxers." I said.
Laughter.
"Could someone give me a pair? Top drawer. Please?"
More laughter.
Then there was a knock on the door.
I opened it up, making sure I was covered enough.
It was Joanne with a pair of boxers in hand.
"Don't worry, I only like girls." She said.
I turned bright red, and thanked her.
I put the boxers on, and ran to my room and shut the door. I put on the outfit Mimi had picked out for me, my favorite pair of jeans, my black boots and this red short-sleeved shirt that was Rogers. When I came out, Angel did my hair and Maureen and Joanne showed me the flowers they ordered for my date. Roger gave me a pep talk and gave me a pack of breath mints. Collins tried to get some champagne in me, so I could loosen up, I agreed to try it, but only drank half a glass. I wanted to say sober; in case this was a night I wanted to remember.
The doorbell rang, and this time I ran to answer it incase it was my date. I opened it up, and there was Benny, looking like he had been crying. I invited him in, not knowing what else to do.
"Alison gave me the divorce papers this morning." Benny said, with tears in his eyes.
"Ouch. And on Valentine's Day? That sucks man." Roger said.
Even though I've known Benny for years, I've never seen him cry.
I didn't know what to say, so I just gave him a hug.
Maureen came over to us, and broke the ice.
"Mark has a date tonight, so we're all going to the life café to cheer him on, want to join us?" Maureen said.
"I think I will, thanks guys." Benny said.
I looked up at the clock, and saw that it was only 3 o'clock, I had plenty of time.
"I have an idea!" Angel said when she came over to us.
"What?" Mimi asked, she was as curious as I was.
"Let's play truth or dare!" Angel said.
I don't know why I said yes, but I did. I grabbed my camera, and put it besides me on the floor.
We formed a circle on the floor. Me. Angel. Joanne. Roger. Collins. Maureen. Benny. Mimi.
Mimi went first. "Okay, Joanne truth or dare."
"Truth." Joanne said.
"CHICKEN!" Maureen yelled.
"Okay, who was your first time with?" Mimi said.
"Well, it was with my French Ambassador's Daughter." Joanne said.
"Wait, isn't she the one who taught you how to tango?" I said.
"Well, she taught he how to tango, and then she showed me something else." Joanne said.
"Collins, truth or dare."
"Dare." Collins said.
"Okay, I dare you to run naked down the street until you see an old flyer for Maureen's over the moon protest, grab one and then you can come back up and get dressed." Joanne said.
"Sure, I've ran naked down the Parthenon, I'll do it." Collins said.
Collins took off his boots first. Then his shirt. And his socks. He went over to Angel and gave her a very passionate kiss, and then stripped off his boxers. Everybody laughed when he took off his boxers, because he still was pretty "excited" – if you know what I mean.
I grabbed my camera, and we all ran to the window. I had to get this on film.
"Whoa, I wasn't sure about that whole rumor about "Guys with big feet…" but DAMN! It really is true! Angel, you are one lucky woman!!!" Maureen said.
"Well thank you Maureen. But, you should tell Collin's that- not me!" Angel said.
As soon as Collin's made it to the street, you heard a lot of screaming.
A little girl screamed: "NAKED MAN! NAKED MAN!"
Collins went up to her, and said "Oh really, I guess I am naked!" And just ran away.
Collins disappeared from sight, but we saw him come back around 2 minutes later. He ran up the stairs so fast, probably freezing his balls off. Poor guy. As soon as Collins got into the loft, he put on all his clothes. Roger threw a blanket at him so he could warm up.
"Collins, good job." Joanne said.
"Thanks. Now, I get to choose right? I choose… Benny."
"Me?" Benny said.
"Yes you. Truth or dare Benny?" Collins said.
"Dare." Benny Said.
"I dare you to chug this quart of milk, I know it's not much- but it's been expired since last year – about 2 months now. DO IT!" Collins said.
Benny walked to the kitchen, and opened the milk, and drank it slowly, but he drank it all. Didn't barf, which is weird. He just hiccupped, and drank a glass of champagne after he finished the milk.
"Okay, my turn. I choose Angel. Truth or dare Angel?" Benny asked.
"Truth." Angel said.
"Did you really kill my dog?" Benny said.
Angel looked him straight in the eyes. "Yes, I did. And, I'm sorry about it."
Benny ran right over to Angel and gave her a hug. "I always hated that dog!" he said.
Everybody laughed, and laughed.
"My turn! I choose- Mimi. Truth or dare Mimi-chica?" Angel asked.
"Truth." Mimi said.
"Okay, when was the happiest day of your life?" Angel asked.
"Other than the day I met you, I would have to say the day I met Roger." Mimi said.
Awe's filled the room, and Mimi and Roger shared a small lovely kiss. It was cute, it really was.
"I want Roger. Roger, truth or dare?" Mimi asked.
"Dare, babe" Roger said.
"Okay, let's make this interesting, I dare you to kiss Markiepoo!" Mimi said.
"Ummm. No." Roger said.
"Why not? " everybody asked.
"Because Mark hasn't kissed for a while. He probally sucks at it." Roger said.
"That's mean!" Angel said.
"NEW DARE?" Roger said.
"Fine. Make out with Maureen." Mimi said.
"What?" Roger said.
"DO IT MAUREEN!" Mimi said.
I grabbed my camera, so I could catch this on film too.
Maureen licked her lips the way she used to do when we made out all the time. Roger and Maureen kissed for a few minutes, and it got really aggressive. Roger must have liked it, because lets just say- you could tell he liked it by the way his pants looked. As soon as the kiss was over, Angel yelled: "ROGER DAVIS HAS AN ENORMOUS ERECTION!"
You should have seen the look on his face, it was priceless, and I mean it.
Roger choose who went next, and picked Maureen.
"Maureen, truth or dare?" Roger asked.
"I've done enough with you for tonight, so truth." Maureen said.
"Okay, so did you enjoy that kiss we shared a few minutes ago?" Roger asked.
"Yes, I did. I really did." Maureen said.
The both looked bright red. I wonder how Joanne and Mimi felt about that…
"POOKIE! Your turn!" Maureen said
"Me?" I asked.
"Yes you. Truth or dare." Maureen asked me.
"Dare." I said. I was feeling rebellious tonight.
"I dare Mimi to give Mark a lap dance." Maureen said.
"But- But that's not how the rules go!" I explained.
"Fine, Mark I dare you to allow Mimi to give you a lap dance!" Maureen said.
Mimi walked over, and swayed her hips from side to side. I was really nervous, and it got worse once Mimi was on my lap. She did this circle motion with her hips, and I could tell I wouldn't last much longer. She moved from side to side on me, and that's what really did it. That's right. Mimi Marquez gave me a major erection, and that's deffinetly not the first time that's happened for me. She still wasn't done, and I wonder if she knew how much I wanted her, and how hard she just made me. She moved slowly, and shook her hips. Then she got faster. Much faster. The bulge in my pants got bigger, and pretty soon it would be hard for me to hide it.
"MARK COHEN HAS A MAJOR ERECTION!!!'' Benny screamed that at me and everyone else in the loft.
Of course, everyone started laughing. Hey- even I did.
"Okay, so I do! But I'm not the only one who's attracted to a certain person! You know what? I DARE ALL OF YOU TO SHARE THE NAME OF THE ONE PERSON YOU HAVE A SECRET CRUSH ON!" We can do it tonight before or after my date at the life café. Before would probally be better… but whatever we each share, can't change how much we love each other. Because -trust me- this family is deffinetly thicker than blood!"
Everybody agreed on the secret crush revealing. I mean, we all have secret crushes, why not just be open about then?
A/N – I'll put up everybody's secret crushes up one at a time. But, before I update, I want people to R&R. So, please get on with it! – READ && REVIEW!!! 333
