EXPOSED
Brriinng-Brriinng! Brriinng-Brriinng!
"Kuso!" I swore angrily, turning off the TV. "Why does that damn phone ALWAYS ring when I'm watching a good show?"
Still cursing, I picked up the phone.
"Moshi-Moshi?"
"Hello Guido, its me, Lucille."
"Hi 'Cille, wassup?"
"I'm having a party on Friday at 7, and I was wondering if you wanted to come?"
I laughed. I never missed out on Lucille's parties. They were a great opportunity to get drunk and stoned, plus she always had interesting 'games' to play. I just hoped her stupid brother wouldn't be there. He was too much of a killjoy.
"Yeah, of course I'll come. Do I have to bring anything?"
"Just yourself, and could you see if Speedy wants to come too?"
"Sure thing. Gotta go, cya."
"Sayonara, Guido."
I sighed and slumped back onto the couch. When would Speedy be home? I wanted to see him and touch him again, be able to kiss him without worrying what our friends would think of us. We had been secret lovers for over a month now, and I'd never been so happy in a relationship. I knew he was serious about us when asked me to move in with him, naturally I'd said yes…
I screamed when a pair of arms grabbed me from behind, and felt a body press close to mine.
"Relax, Chibi, it's only me!" Speedy laughed as I stood up and hugged him.
"You scared the crap out of me." I murmured as he kissed my cheek.
"Sorry Chibi. How can I make it up to you?" I smiled at him before running my tongue over his collarbone, enjoying his reaction.
"Just promise to go to Lucille's party with me on Friday…"
Finally, Friday arrived. My car was broken, so Speedy drove me. I can't say he was much of a driver. He kept staring at me instead of the road, and nearly smashed into a couple of trees. I couldn't blame him though. I was deliberately teasing him with my clothes. I was wearing tight jeans that hugged my body in all the right places, a black muscle shirt, and a leather jacket he had given me ages ago. Somehow, he managed to get us to Lucille's house in one piece.
"Hi boys!" Lucille's high, squeaky voice filled the air as she ran to the door to greet us. "Come in, everyone's here!"
'Everyone' was us, Polly, Francine, the B-team (and their girlfriends), our canine friend, Big Al, our former enemy Bad Bird (he had changed his name to Good Bird, but we just called him GB), and his fiancee, Carla.
Before long, I was competing with GB in a sculling game with Beer. Speedy was outside, smoking pot with Meowzma and Bat Cat, while everyone else was either getting drunk or listening to Lucille's new CD. I think it was that really cool band, Blink 182. I wasn't sure. They sounded too similar to The Offspring.
"Hey everybody, lets play a game!" Yelled Polly, her voice sounded slurred, like she was drunk and stoned. "Let's play strip poker!"
"No" Yelled Spritz's girlfriend, Cassidy " I wanna play Truth or Dare! It's sexier!"
"Strip Poker!" "Truth or Dare!"
"STRIP POKER!"
"TRUTH OR DARE!"
"Girls! Girls!" Interrupted Carla "We can play both games at the same time."
"How?"
"Well, before we play strip poker we each write a truth and a dare on 2 pieces of paper, and we put them into a bowl. Then at the end of each round, the winner pulls out a piece of paper with a truth and a dare written on it, and gives the loser a choice of either one."
Carla's good idea worked perfectly. Polly and Cassidy settled down as we began the game. I sat next to Speedy, and tickled his groin with my tail, trying not to laugh at his reaction.
Big Al dealt the cards. I found myself with 3 aces and 2 jacks. A pretty good hand. Francine lost the round with only a pair of fives. Swearing under her breath, she pulled off her tight green dress and tossed it to the floor, then sat back down, clad only in a green and yellow bra with a matching thong.
"HUBBA-HUBBA!" Yelled GB, only to have Carla deck him in the jaw.
"Birdie, if you don't stop perving on younger girls, especially Francine, you won't be getting sex for a month!" She hissed
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry sweetie!" He replied as he pulled her onto his lap and kissed her.
"Francine, Truth or Dare?" Asked Meowzma.
"Ummm….DARE!"
Meowzma smirked. 'You ain't gonna like this' was written all over his face. He whispered the dare to her.
"WHAT?" She screamed. "Oh, ok, I'll do it." Making a face, she pulled off her underwear and ran outside, yelling "I'm a sexy bitch!"
Everyone doubled over laughing, and when Francine came back, we continued our game…
2 hours later we were still playing. I was down to my shoes and boxers, Speedy still had all his clothes on, and nearly all the girls were down to their underwear. Everyone in the b-team, except for Spritz, who was stark naked, was down to their jeans. GB dealt the cards.
I was dealt with a pair of Queens. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Speedy cursing under his breath as he checked his cards.
"OK everyone, drop your cards!" Yelled GB
Speedy made a face. "I didn't get anything except an ace card." He complained.
"At least you still have all your clothes." Grumbled Spritz. "I had to throw all of mine in the pool because of that dumb dare."
GB just smirked as he picked a piece of paper out of the bowl in front of us.
"Speedy" He said. "Truth or Dare?"
"Truth." Speedy replied, rolling his eyes.
GB's smirk got even bigger as he read out the question.
"Tell us your deepest darkest secret."
Speedy paled. His deepest darkest secret was me, his secret lover. I turned towards him and stared into his eyes. He stared back at me. "Should I tell?" was written all over his face. I slowly nodded. If they were shocked, well too bad, they asked him.
Speedy took a deep breath.
"I have a male lover." He said calmly. The room went deadly silent. Then Polly went hysterical…
"WHAT?" She shrieked. "TELL ME THE NAME OF THE FAGGOT NOW!"
If looks could kill, we would have received the death sentence for her murder ten times over.
"You're looking at him." I growled. That made her shut up. She blushed and stared at the floor.
Big Al just stared calmly at us.
"I'm really not surprised at this." He said calmly "I always thought you two would end up together someday."
"Oh my GOD!" Screamed Carla "That is sooo kawaii!"
"You guys make such a sexy couple!" Francine added
GB just sat there stunned. "I…I don't believe this." He rasped. "You two always had so many girls chasing after you, and it turns out that you're both gay!?"
"What's wrong with them being happy?" Asked Melanie, Bat Cat's naive girlfriend. She had no idea what 'gay' meant.
GB sighed.
"Not that type of gay Melanie. It means that they like guys."
"But I like guys too GB. I like you, and Bat Cat, and Speedy, and Guido, and Big Al, and…"
He smacked his head in annoyance.
"Iie. It means that they like to have SEX with guys."
"Oh. Guys can have sex with each other?"
I doubled over laughing. For someone who was a computer expert, Melanie could be a real airhead.
"Of course we can silly. Just not in the same way that you and Bat Cat do it." That got a laugh from everybody except Polly, who still looked like she wanted to kill us.
"How long has this been going on?" She demanded. Her voice was dangerously soft.
"Just over a month, and I've never been happier." Speedy replied. She glared at him.
"Faggots!" She hissed. "You both know that what you're doing is wrong and filthy!"
We stared calmly at her, then turned to each other. I closed my mouth over his, pulling him closer to me. His tounge probed its way into my mouth, licking my sharp teeth, then meeting my tounge in a brief but sensual battle. Simultaneously, we broke the kiss and turned towards her once again.
"That didn't feel wrong or filthy." I said coolly. "And if you can't accept us because we love each other, then you can just piss off!" Speedy nodded in agreement.
Then there was silence.
"I don't care about your preferences." GB said, breaking the silence. "You guys are my best friends, and if this is what makes you happy, then I'm cool with that.
"So are we!" Piped up Lucille, Carla, and Francine.
"Us too!" Yelled the B-team, along with their girlfriends.
"Either way, I don't care." Big Al said.
Polly remained silent, staring at the floor, her fists clenched, face dark red with anger. Then she spoke.
"I don't like or approve of it." She said through clenched teeth. "But I guess I can learn to be more accepting over time, but I can't promise that, so don't expect anything big."
Speedy shrugged.
"I'll take that as a yes." I answered.
"Oh shit!" Francine yelled.
Everyone turned towards her.
"It's nearly 1am." She explained, getting dressed. "I have to go, sayonara."
